Maybe rather than lower the women's standards, guys should bring theirs up a notch or two.

A condescending whiny attitude is not attractive hon.

I understand most women like a bad boy but if anything, thats something to experiment with while you are still a young. It is not supposed to be carried over into adulthood!

Dayum OP, you just shattered my illusions, since you said I'm too old for that.


Alright, so I have made some recent observations about women that frustrate me. I'll tell you what I mean, but i do so at the sake of looking like a complete reject but it must be said.

And you think you are the first to say it here?
Oh, boy....
Ya know kiddo, not all of us here are unrealistic, nor have all of us here been treated badly by the men who've been in our lives. Some men just can't get a handle on that and find it odd. But thank you for trying to save our loneliness and illusions we may or may not have of ourselves.

My question to you is, what type of woman are you seeking out that has your underwear in a twist? Now, that you've pointed out your observations and all darlin', it seems as though you aren't attracted to the type of woman you are pointing out that we should be.

OP: I suspect that if you would only lower YOUR standards and just date women that aren't quite everything you'd hoped they'd be.........then you wouldn't be single.

BTW, the woman whom picked me, on here, turned out to be more than I expected and more than I could have ever hoped for.

I always find it interesting when people really just point out grammatical errors and gross generalizations instead of maybe trying to figure out his point. MANY relationship therapists have written about "the princess" mentality of MANY single women, and that the idealistic standard of a man perhaps hampers her dating pool.

That being said, if you're going to have this thread OP, you could actually put some thought into the way you write it instead of a blatant attack saying essentially "women are too damn picky to like me!".

My problem isn't with women waiting for the white horse, i respect that. It's the princess mentality AFTER they found their prince.

Next time you want to ask if perhaps we are raising the bar a little high of the dating pool, perhaps we could write it in a way that doesn't attack a specific gender or group? Then maybe you can get the exchange of ideas that I think you are after.

The problem is many women think they are Paris Hilton. The problem is that Paris is young, thin, attractive, a smart business woman, has her own income and no kids. Many women are the opposite of that yet think men should still just bow down to them.

Sorry but if I were a man, bowing down to a fat hog with a ton of kids who makes $10 an hour is not anything I would be going for.


What do women bring to the table these days that they demand this "saving"?

Paris sleeps with everyone and everything, has no job, doesn't appreciate the value, of a dollar and is a spoiled brat. Nothing attractive about her at all. I don't think I'm her and sure as heck wouldn't want to be that.

Paris Hilton has huge feet and I don't think she's all that attractive.

I know that money don't buy happiness.

So just give me her money


Cuz I got everything else figured out!

This is a two way street. You get so many ads from men carrying on about all the rotten girlfriends and dates they had, and they're never paying for another ice cream ever. Then you become that chump who's going to prove them wrong, but no matter what you do , it's not right, because they've decided we're all rotten ****es anyway. That is called the rotten **** game and it's set up so you lose, so what's the point? You need to start out with a positive attitude, So many are mad if they had to sit with a fat woman, a boring woman, a greedy woman. You never had several job interviews before landing that job? You never had a job to pay the rent you didn't adore going to? You never had dinner with annoying relatives? It's life. Get a clue. We don't really want to hear how many of our number stink and how we'd better beg, borrow or steal a dollar if we want ice cream with you. It's a two way street. They showed up, they were polite, they weren't your cup of tea, it's just fair enough. Maybe we're tired of trying to prove we're different, when no one is going to win that game.

As is usually the case, there is no reason to complain about it. If someone is delusional, that person will reap the consequences.

I was never sure if it was a statement about a man's ability to stop and ask for directions or a commentary on not believing in being swept off of ones' feet.

Maybe it should be a caution to both.

Big Pacific, this point is so overdone my 10-year-old probably knows about it.

OP, you are 26, that's your problem. Males and females are stupid, and if you are dating older women you are finding the bottom of the self-esteem and intelligence barrel if they still have their heads rammed up their fairy tale butts. Also, you think men don't have any stupid ideas like they want the arm candy until they figure out that they aren't good in a pinch and it is like lugging around dead weight for years?

I gotta tell you, one more post from a "wise" middle aged person berating someone under the age of 40 for giving relationship advice is going to make me scream.

Oh, you're 26, THATS why you haven't figured it out. Not for nothing, but guess what, we are ALL on a dating site. So guess how many of us have figured out to have a perfect fricken relationship? NONE OF US. Tell me how your average 45 year old divorcee has more to put on the table than a 26 year old? If nothing i'd say we are equally unsuccessful at keeping and maintaining the relationship we are after, wouldn't you?

I'll learn from the experiences of everyone. Not just the self proclaimed "wise" people that are STILL looking 20 years after they were looking at 26, cause yeah they've BEEN around the block and got it figured out, hell thats why they are still looking.

Not targeting anyone specific, just tired of that shit.

I know.... isn't it incredible how much they have learned, in half the time that all of us "older dummies" have?.... I mean, really, we haven't lived anything of life.... have never been rejected.... never been forced to "get over it and get on with it".... we know nothing.

Obviously this young lad is a late bloomer..... most teenagers know everything, and "take all their parents' brains" as their parents know nothing. The process of giving the parents "their brains back" is usually complete by about age 25.... he seems to be a little slow on the uptake, this young lad.

On the bright side, I had finished my morning coffee by the time I read this, and didn't have to clean off my monitor..... I am so glad it didn't get deleted - I needed some Friday morning humour.

dumbassed twenty somethings anyway.
Here is another thing girls are taught from early childhood. If little Johnny pushes her down and skins her knees or pulls her hair and slugs her in the head.....people tell her that he likes her.
I gave up believing in Prince Charming when I got my first gander at Ol'Prince Charles. *shudder* Bonnie my arse!

I guess he doesn't fit inbetween the Prince and the Knight or the Bad Boy Type so what does that leave? A normal everyday guy? What about the men that are only looking for women to have sex? A Pervert? Some men only want sex not wanting to know the woman first. How does that make the woman feel, USED? I guess that type of man would be classified as the Bad Boy Type, definately not the Knight in Shining Armour.

I'm not interested in being rescued by a knight in shining armor riding a white steed. Besides, I'd be more interested in his steed and just might ride off without him!

Unfortunately from the time men were kids, apparently someone told them they were entitled to a "princess," and that just ain't reality either. I think your problem is the women you are going after. Quit chasing "princesses" and see if your luck improves.

Oh, and by the way? For some of us, there IS a such thing as a kight in shining armor. Don't try telling us what OUR reality should or shouldn't be, just because YOU can't measure up.

I think the problem starts from early childhood. You see, even from the time you are young, you are bombarded with romantic storys where a prince rides in on a pretty white horse and saves the girl and he makes her his princess. Or even better yet, a knight in shining armor rides in. Well the problem is that is not reality


Well, fvck, that's bad news for us women, isn't it?

Especially considering the recent thread telling us how we will never get a man if we are self-sufficient and independent.

So, to sum up ....

Needy and acting like a princess = no happily ever after.

Being independent, self-sufficient and not needing a man = not likely to find one.

Damnit........I have to go wax the car now and check the oil....oh no, wait, that makes me independent.....okay, I'll get the neighbor man to do it......oh, no, wait, that makes me a princess.

Will someone please help me? I'm so confused.
