| what do you think of a woman who travels a lot?
Posted: 6/17/2009 10:19:22 AM | morning people.
Ive read some replies thanks to those people who contribute thier input--I still didnt get the answer to those people who just want to move to "next".I want to know why--its not going to solve your fear if you just walk away,judge me,or you didnt give yourself or each other a chance to know each other before just walk away.
You know what--its not my problem if someone will judge me or just say "next".
It just give me a smile and im thinking a "chicken boy" or full of insecurities.
I also cant blame those people who just dont want to continue or sees me as "carefree/careless" woman.
At age 28,young and free,living the "life to the (foolish) fullest" and some men think not good for LTR because they think no future for this woman as all I have to do is just fly and see the world leaving them hanging with (if ever with kids) etc.
Well, youre wrong!
Come on---why not DATE and get to know me first before jumping into the conclusion?.
It takes a STRONG MAN- a MATURE MAN who has a wide understanding who has PATIENCE then he COULD HAVE ME(no pun intended).
It makes me wonder why they are scared of me--as i dont really care --the question is do you think, im going to like them either?.
I am enjoying my life and I like my singleness but if there's a chance that someone likes to date me then why not--I go out and date them.
Here's a little secret to me guys.
I dont even know if I want to marry because one reason is:I dont want to share my income to my husband.I work hard to reached where I am now.I am also scared for what happened to one of my friend--she earned more money than her husband then they got divorced--her husband sucked out all his income and properties.
How sad is that--you worked hard for your living then here came along a "parasite" and took away the fruit of your hardships?
I am a responsible person and I know how to spend my money wisely.I grew up with full of discipline from my parents.
I have savings--enough for my future just in case if I want to settle down.
I am prepared for my future--but who will be "fit" in to all of these?
Im not really worried if I have no man-- for now, i am enjoying my life to the fullest.
Abacus-thanks for your advice.I am enjoying my life while im still young while my knees still strong to climb the mountain of Athens just to see the Parthenon or while I can still carry a heavy bag on my back and do a backpack trip in Costa Rica or hike in the amazon of Brazil.So that when my arthritis strikes on me..I am happy to rest myself in a rocking chair in the Nursing Home and looked back that"ive seen the world"! | |

Posted: 6/17/2009 12:41:21 PM | OP, let's imagine for moment that despite our age difference and the miles between us, that we might otherwise be a perfect match for each other. Only after spending some time with you do I learn that you travel often. Alas I'm not in a position where I can do that, so you would be going alone, or at least without me. Consequently there would be many gaps in our relationship while you go off on your trips. In my opinion relationships should be mutually enjoyable... for you and for me
Rest assured, I wouldn't begrudge you the luxury of your trips. You've worked hard and saved up for it and deserve to enjoy it.
Yet I ask, should I stuff a pillow into your Canucks jersey and pretend it is you sitting beside me when I cheer on the Canucks? Would you expect me to frolic with your pillow while you are gone?
Anyone reading your profile will get the impression you do nothing but watch hockey on TV or perhaps attend hockey games in person. I think you do yourself a disservice by not mentioning your travel habits in your profile. If you reveal your travel habits I think you will increase the probability of finding a man with similar interests.
There are men who both like to travel and are able to, so does it not make sense to work towards attracting them? | |

another assumptions if anyone would think that I only watch hockey on TV or attends hockey.Besides I dont like Canucks at all--they are sucks!When I signed up at POF-I wanted to piss my ex to bash his team.I wasnt looking for anything thats why I didnt put any info about me. I like to read the forums and ive learned and gain insights whats going on with courtship, dating and relationship.
My friends mocked at me and joked at me they said"what I am doing on this site they said its cheap talking with strangers but who cares--I like it.
I do have lots of activities..I like to run and hike.....I strikes anywhere that none of my friends like my activities except for drinking and travels. I dont go with them when they go to casinos--thats my big turn off since they are my friends I wont mind thats them this is me.We get along because we have respect to each other and for me thats an important thing in building friendships.
When I wrote this post because I am curious I want to know the reasons why some men are scared of women who travels a lot.
I am not looking for a boyfriend because I am not ready for a relationship.When I go out and date--its just a date --nothing else.I am observing the guy's attitude towards me and his views towards dating and relatiosnhip.
Also,do you think I like a man to travel with me?Some of them are just a pain in the ass--If I want to go here--they want to go there.Either they just want to sit thier ass under the tree,sleep or just do nothing.I like to move around and do the girl thingy.
I dont like to go with a man in my trips--who knows it will changed someday but for now---no men allowed in my travels. | |

I wasn't making assumptions. I was only processing the limited information provided in your profile.
I want to know the reasons why some men are scared of women who travels a lot.
Scared?
I think the only reason a reasonable man might have to fear such a woman is the higher probability of her coming home with something contagious such as swine flu.
I seriously doubt a man would be scared of dating such a woman otherwise, but may prefer not to date one for the various reasons already posted.
There is a significant difference between being scared of someone and not interested in someone.
Anyway, I wish you best of luck and happy travelling.  | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 10:49:48 AM | | I am a woman who doesn't travel much due to medical reasons. Just easier for me to stay close to home. I do avoid men who do like to travel. I find that in the "honeymoon" phase of a relationship, that most men want to do the "trip together" thing, to whereever. It has often been a point of contention. Because of my lifestyle (work, dogs, kids, health issues), and my nature, I prefer not to travel much. I work most of the time, so it is a real treat just to stay close to home and do day trips. The inconvenience travel would create for me is just to much of a hassle. Bit of a home-body. | |

Posted: 6/25/2009 11:48:06 PM | As a woman who owned her own travel agency for 18 years, I am happy to say that I had the opportunity to travel to many places in the world.
Personally, I feel that people should travel as much as they can in their lifetime as it broadens your horizons and makes you aware of other cultures.
I hope to continue to travel in the future but preferably with someone special.
My advice OP is don't ever give up something you enjoy doing just to please someone else. Not everyone wants to leave home and travel the world but it sounds like travel is a big part of your life and there do seem to be alot of men looking for travel companions. Just keep doing what you are doing gal..enjoy life and have a blast along the way!!!! | |

Posted: 7/19/2009 4:22:38 AM | | I think she likes to waste alot of money for something that lasted 1 week. I don't have to travel I just have to look at every womens profile and see all their travel pics. I only approach ladies that have pic's up of themselves in real life. Just like I don't want to come to your house and see your travel pics. I don't need to see them online either. | |

Posted: 7/19/2009 9:51:53 PM | I think it's a really good idea to let people know if travel is important or distasteful to you. Looks like it would be a bad idea to try and mix these groups together.
I don't have much opportunity to travel but I love it when someone shares their travel pics and stories with me. I'm a facebook addict when it comes to vacation pictures, wedding pictures, etc. Painfully boring to some people though ^^^ | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 12:08:51 PM | | I hope to travel to ask many destinations while I am young and healthy. I see it as educational, enlightening and of course enjoyable. Ideally it would be nice to share these new experiences with the right partner. My goal each year is to travel to one new State and one new Country. | |
