Posted: 7/26/2009 6:04:05 AM | Neither option involves blaming, accusing or insulting the opposite sex.
Now where's the fun in that? Just when the thread was getting interesting and the name calling was about to commence we have to get all sensible? Damn you woman!
If I can't believe that every single man is a b@astard just because I've met one or two, and that everything wrong in my life is a result of 'them' making my life a misery... do I have to now begin to examine my own behaviours and motives in life and my relationships? Crikey! So, I will no longer have my bitterness to keep me warm at night, safe in the knowledge that I'm a victim and it's all 'their' fault?
Do I have to start being nice to poo-heads? Noooooo! Don't wanna! You can't make me! | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 4:23:17 PM | | They are having little moments of understanding women better .. oh , well .. they are getting less 'blokey' tis true and as I think Ican certainly judge the merit of 'play' , at the same time I regret its necessity to some people . This is serious , we do ,all women want to find a companion of the opposite sex who is of a higher calibre than 'The Marlboro Man' of ads gone by and a woman who has lived her life and thought about it is entitled to a good man . A GOOD PERSON who is a man . And I know a couple and you can actually talk about and joke about 'blokiness' with them . It is true that you must see yourself as worth a good man and hold out till you find one . You can still have fun going out with friends etc. .. and who knows , he may not turn up on a snorting black charger but ... who knows ? | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 9:39:22 PM | All of these encounters with men have been short lived.
Does this mean you put out on the first date?
Aussie blokes like a challenge. (2nd date at least)
The thrill of the chase.
Plus the good looking man's man ---like the Orgy let the ladies do the chasing!
Someone asked me once.
Where are all the handsome, caring, sexy men in Australia?
the answer------they all have boyfriends.

Posted: 7/27/2009 2:59:44 AM | It would seem that the fate of the Australian "man" is to become a pale impersonation of the men they used to be, while some of the traits should be deservedly resigned to the past there are others that make them distinctly Australian........
Yes ever since the first bloke..(the famous Mr Hawke) came out of the blokey closet and shed more than a few tears for the camera Aussie blokes have beem blubbering for the camera at the slightest feeling of emotion and elation, it is impossible not to, even upon winning the holiest of blokey sporting events, The grand final, tears of joy and in the agony of defeat, have been shed in public. Perhaps thats why Barry Hall quit....... he felt he was getting to close to coming out and having a little blubber so he quickly shook it off and to prevent the tears in the moment of realisation he thought better of it and just snotted someone! yes that helped to hold back the tears, right on with the game.
Its not to say that we shouldnt shed a tear, appropriately and in the right place:
at the signing of divorce papers,
the death of loved one, or a favourite dog,
a best mates wedding,
while certain blokes of low morality have stooped to using tears to manipulate a unsuspecting woman into giving out the all hallowed "mercy f#$K", this is generally never admitted to others............
but i suggest that this should be restrained, dignified and manly.
you could always try understanding feelings and use an learn an ancient pommie technique (the vinnie chant), just say "its been emotional" this will automatically make you remember the movie and make you smile.....
I find out so much about what im doing wrong on this site...lol

Outgoing
Obliging
Helpful
Energetic
Accommodating
Deeply
Sensitive
What's the issue with men in Australia? mmm... going by the blaming, negativity, and general incomprehension that often invades these forums I'm thinking that many people wouldn't recognize a decent fellow human if they fell over one. | |

Posted: 7/27/2009 7:21:49 AM | Speaking as an indecent human being who has fallen over numerous Australian men... without once recognising their pleasant, outgoing, obliging, helpful, energetic, accommodating, deeply sensitive, decent human beingness... boy do I feel bad now.
I vow to adjust my perspective (it's my new glasses, you see - everything's blurry and I keep falling over people) and maybe from now on I'll see the pooheads in a new light.

That's the spirit. If only more of the turdbrained gender would make a similar effort. | |

Posted: 7/28/2009 7:22:48 AM | I have to agree that I dislike the game playing too.
Not all Aussie blokes are like that. Like in any country you'll get your fair share of good and bad people and others who have no idea what they want. Unfortunately it sounds like you haven't been given the best impression of what Australian men are like which I'm sorry to hear.
As an Aussie male I always beleived that's one of our best cultral traits is to be upfront and honest. If I like someone I've got no problem in telling them and be forthcoming with how I feel and if I don't see it going it anywhere I'm honest enough to let the woman know so they're not wasting there time. I can't speak for everyone but these men you've met seem to be acting the opposite to what I'd be like. I also know plenty of other guys that share the same views of myself. So don't worry where not all like that.
By the sounds of things the males you've come across have quite possibly had other people that they were interested in as well. Either that or they're just scared of getting into a commited relationship.
I hope this has helped give you some insight. I wish you all the best in your search. | |

Posted: 7/31/2009 12:17:07 AM | Ok I think this needs three rules to look at:
Rule 1# Avoid Poo Heads
Rule 2# Associate only with non Poo Heads and only with decent folk.
Rule 3#, If at any stage Poo Heads outnumber decent folk, hunt said poo heads to retain a balance of numbers.  | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 2:45:21 PM | | Just had another thought ... we haven't really defined exactly what husband material is ? I am racking my brains but can't come up with a definite definition ... apart from the "I Do" bit yawn .. er , what or who or whatever or WTF is a good husband ? Can someone enlighten me in words of 10 or less ? | |

Just had another thought ...
Two in one day? Might as well go for the record then, it's still early.
It kinda detracts from your triumph that it's in the wrong thread though. Quibbling about the definition of 'husband' would seem to belong in the 'worst husbands' thread, which is where the post above yours seems to belong also, rather than in the general 'men are defective' thread?
Mind you, that's just my thoughts on the matter so I'm bound to be wrong... being a man n'all.
Can someone enlighten me in words of 10 or less ? mmm... There is a remote chance I guess, but it seems unlikely. | |

nope its an individiual choice.. based on many things.. why people choose marriage partners..
But here's some advice.. quote from a movie.. but rather apt.. in a way..
in regards to asking .....how do you choose a marriage partner?...make it last....young man asking..older man...
Find, someone.. you can stand being stuck in a fox hole with,, for the rest of your life...
and when your not in the foxhole...keep ya d.i.c.k in ya pants..
peace | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 7:19:58 PM | we haven't really defined exactly what husband material is ?
Perhaps women each need to first define what wife material is.
Then consider that in context of ourselves.
No sense skipping to question 3 before we've nailed the other two.
what or who or whatever or WTF is a good husband ?
Mine was.

Clearly the problem here is an inadequate range of thread topics. I mean for a start, this thread is only about the issue with men in Australia, whereas something like "Things I just don't like about men" would give more scope. And that other thread is limited to complaining about how husbands don't do housework...pffft...so limiting! Surely there is a need for a "I'd have been the perfect wife if not for my damn husband" thread, to really open that discussion up? Possibly a general "Hey, let's just bag men a lot" thread would simplify it all nicely. And then we can all get back to talking about more important stuff, like how shallow women are.  | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 8:26:14 PM | yeh, it's getting to the point where that's all you see when you log on....
"women complaining about blokes threads/posts"..... geez....
when are you all moving OS to find a man?.... ....
I'm sure there are millions of women world wide who would gladly change countries,situations and their men..... to live in australia.... with aussie men....
look past the alpha idiots and you might find a good one yourselves....  | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 8:48:27 PM | | And speaking for myself , that was the third thought I had had this morning .. and I muddled the threads up .. but , with the rate of divorce as it is .. maybe both threads do sort of belong together .Logically both partners are 'in it' together but from observation it seems that the pub does win over keeping company with the wife . | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 6:17:31 AM | A guy can be loving , thoughtful , attentive , a good provider and just Too Nice . Some woman like a bit of a bad boy , a bit of living on the edge . Exitment not boring old sit at home staring at the walls stuff .
Share the time you have together and enjoy each others company without either side trying to take control of every little thing . Approach every new situation with a positive attitude and don't be so critical of others before you really get a chance to meet the real inner person .
There's good in everyone if you look hard enough . There's bad if that's what your looking for . Love is blind. | |

They're all weirdos if you ask me. You been talking to my grand-daughters. As I said to them "Would you rather I was a grumpy old man" 
As a generalition, I guess most Aussie guys are less forthcoming that our American counterparts [with the exceptions that walk staight up to a woman and asks if she'd like to decorate his sheets]. That has it's good points and bad points.
So often in Darwin the local women [of all ages] would stay home when a load of Yankee marines come to town because they got 'fed up' with the yanks forthcoming approach and do not seem to understand a 2-letter word - NO. Even a simple require like 'F... O..' left some with a dumb struck awe stricken "WTF' look of bewilderment. | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 9:26:45 PM | Hi! bluepatch
I tried to send you a message but it wouldn't go through although I live in Adelaide in the Marion area. This may be an inappropriate way to contact you and I apologise if I have over stepped a boundary. However, this is the message:
Hi! bluepatch 
I read your Profile and really like the name "bluepatch" and your great sense of humour. I was laughing quite a lot. I was priveleged to travel Australia for 15 years. I spent 6 years in Darwin and about 18 months living in Jabiru. I can relate to the adjustment of returning to Adelaide after living in the Tropics.
I returned to Adelaide in 1998 and it seemed to take ages for me just to get acclimatised. I am not sure that I really have as it seems to be so cold this winter. What type of work did you do while you were in the tropics?
I also love sunsets and you sound as if you live close to Glenelg. I would like to offer you my friendship and get to know you a little better. Could we meet in 'Horizons' sometime for a drink, sit near the window, chat and watch the sunset? I will leave it up to you.
Yours in caring

Heads back to her corner to sit quietly and patiently until part 2 humming to herself.... Love is in the air.......la la la  | |

Posted: 8/7/2009 2:07:10 AM | OMG!!!!!
In the old days when I used to write messages, I found it hard enough to write something only one person was going to read. To put it out there for the whole world to see, is either incredibly brave or stupid . If he doesnt post back here in the forums, we hope you copy and paste it back here for all of us to enjoy.
To all those who have said women dont message, read it and weep
Kudos to you Bluebutterfly48 Keep the Faith | |

Posted: 8/24/2009 3:54:38 PM | GOLLY, apologies BlueButterfly for my rudeness [lack of reply]. I have no idea where 'Horizons' is. Thank you for the message, I have to rush off to work but will read it later. Thanks for the reminder to amend profile. I add my sincerest Best Wishes.
I rarely access POF, and then just for a quick read of forums, and the rarer post [this will be my 5th or 6th post in 2 years].
Busy these days with full-time shift work, an 18 year old son in year 12, study, bike riding, dance classes twice weekly and practice.
To 'dontneedone': Sorry to disappoint you, but there will be are wedding bells in the offing. | |

Posted: 8/24/2009 4:42:05 PM | I think it is a generalisation ... and simply a difference you have not yet acclimatized too ...
People are different, don't group them, there may be someone in the group that misses out due to your generalisations | |
