well a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do............Sit in the outside seat and in a way he can see the entrance.

If all the guys in your area have had their brain cells deteriorate to that point, it must be in the water or something. Maybe give them bottled h20 for awhile and see if it helps.

I'm positive it's not all of them. Only the ones online. I don't go out much so I turned to online dating as my avenue to meet new people. When I do go out and do things it is for the family as a unit. I don't go out to clubs. I like to sleep during those hours.

Then thats it. The guys aren't getting out enough and spending too much time trying to rid their puter of all the schmegma from the free porn sites.

Just give it a few now that you got the new pic up. How could a guy resist the cute pink nose and whiskers.

It says "bite me" under the cute picture. There's the whole thing right there.

Women sometimes don't see the vibe they give off. They send out signals on the FU frequency and look for replies on the ILU band. It is a tragic case of growling then wondering why nobody pets you.

It is interesting how you can make determinations about someone's character based on one day in the Forums and without any clue who or what you are talking about.

The original bunny said "EAT ME", but I figured I'd attract classless slippers like yours. Which I do not want, so I changed it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence evan, but the reality is that when I go "places" I am never hit on by men. If I am in a dance club, the girls hit on me though. Go figure.

I used to spend a lot of time at my neighbourhood pub for Hockey Night and for football etc....the bartender did ask me out....but for the rest of the place I might as well have been invisible.

People are always full of advice about the things I need to do to meet people....like "do what you love"...well, I am at the gym doing what I love 14-21 hours a week....have met a couple of women to chat with. Period. The rest of my life right now is filled with work, a nasty bus commute and studying. I have given up on the pub as a place to socialize and dance clubs are just freaking annoying as well as expensive. The online dating thing hasn't worked for me and so I will quit with that as well.

^^^holy!
that's like my story to a "T".

Are you my..............
lWhat exactly would you call that anyways?

I once had a woman bring me drink and I had come out of day surgery earlier, so I wasn't drinking. I told her to just put the drink beside me and leave it. I turned away to look at the dance floor again, and she leans over looks at me all snippy grabs the drink and takes off. haha.

You all need to come down here. The guys would be ripping each others arms off to get to you all.

Hmmm, maybe it's something in the water here.

fox, crayola ... that is the downfall of being strong confident and good looking. Its attractive (to both sexes) but intimidates most men (that isn't your fault).

Wouldn't it be easier to be just a silly blonde. LMAO. But then posting in the forums wouldn't be that interesting.

Hmmm.

Seems to be pretty much a for or five-way conversation thus far. Mind if I play?

LOCATION:

Actually: "Location, Location, Location."

Realtors and Marketers already know this. Grandpa Jack knew this from way back:

"iff'n yer gonna hunt moose, don't go to the desert."

I'm not sure what the demographics in your region are, but location has a big effect on whatever it is you are trying to accomplish.

Paris, for instance, is a 'target rich environment,' as are most undergraduate colleges.

Other places might be the reverse.

Cowboys, riding the range, with only cattle and hoss for companions, are well know to be lonesome (hmmmm, could this be the origin of the term "Cow-poke??") Alaska, prolly the mecca of single men, where they outnumber women 9-to-1, was characterized by a female friend as being "a place where the odds are good, but the goods are odd." You might not be a cowboy, or stuck in Alaska, but your location may be the singles equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle. I'm beginning to think my place is.


AVAILABLE ACTIVITIES:

Is there some place that offers a public arena for meeting, having fun and mingling with the opposite sex? Some towns are better known for this than others. Others, maybe not quite to the strawman-extreme of the town depicted in the film "FootLoose" (music / dancing forbidden) cater to working families and just aren't laid out for singles.

I have found that just getting involved in any activity that you enjoy doing might be a good way of meeting your true love. [Sports: diving, volleyball, running clubs, camping, hiking, something both sexes enjoy]

Caveat: anything that says "singles" in the name is usually a good indicator that you will soon be in the twilight zone of a group of socially-retarded and single-for-a-very-good reason individuals.


LAZINESS:

One poster made a very good observation that guys nowadays just aren't willing to put the time in and ***wait*** for some sort of romantic involvement.

I agree. Fifty years of Arts and Entertainment, tearing down the the Leave it to Beaver America gets you an expectation of "Co-eds Gone Wild" and all the Easy-Access-Means-Theres-No-Waiting that goes along with it. Finding a guy who will wait, now that might be tough.

There's always Church Fellowship. [I've tried. I'm too dirty for church, too uptight for the barscene. Dang'ed in-betweenie!]

ANYPLACE has to be better than the LeftCoast with the granolas, vegetarians and retirees.

The lack of social interaction is actually a big factor in my deciding whether or not to relocate. Even if I managed to finally find a decent job here, I am thinking that isn't enough to give me any real quality of life.

Who -

Relocation?

I'm not sure if Canada has it, but there are loads of publications like "Places Rated Almanac" and "300 Top Rated..." (Cities, Universities, etc.).

Even punching a simple zip code into Google will get you a complete demographic profile of that zip code, satellite photo, racial mix, age and sex distribution, major industries,

Depending upon your politics, there are some sites which offer user input evaluation as to various regions, states or towns. I found one which was used pretty much by Lefties. I used it in the reverse fashion: if they **loved** Berkely, California and hated Daytona, Florida, well then, I figgered Daytona would be the place for me.

It might work for you too.

I will likely head to northern Alberta. My oldest girl is there, there are lots of jobs and it is a place to start. I don't really have a lot of options.

Who the Fox....I know I couldn't pvt message you....but...I'll post it here :-)


I know I may be a bit abrasive on the forums, but I never just email women to insult them out of the blue.

If its any consolation, I've always found you an attractive woman, for cryin' out loud you go to the gym! You can run circles around those punks.

There's this 40 year old fitness trainer at my gym, very attractive, had 8 kids! I couldn't believe it, but hey, I guess you can get back into shape even after that.

So don't let anyone get you down. (My favorite photo of you is the one in front of the vanity.

Take care

The only possible reason why you ladies aren't getting boned every night is because Canadian guys are gay.

Men want different things than what women want.

men are driven by simple urges and pleasures... food, respect, attention, affection, reproduction...
sex can fall under affection AND/or reproduction, but we like other affections too!

women... I'm still figuring out what they want- from the profiles I read and the experiences I've had, and books that I've read... if I were to average them out... there's a lot of if's, and's, or's, but's, and conditions that the guy has to meet in order to get the affection and attention he is craving... and from what i've seen over the years, more and more conditions, more and more STUFF's are being added to that list. Along with, food, respect, attention, affection, reproduction...

The reason why it gets harder and harder for women to get a date, is because they are making it harder and harder for guys to meet their expectations, and jumping through their hoops! So, guys either give up, go for the instant and disasterous gratification such as easy chics and/or porn, and when those don't work out they go to bars and get drunk, become jaded, or submerse themselves in their work or hobbies, or sports, or friends... the guys that are willing to jump through those hoops and meet those expectations (or buy their way through all that, which I've seen happen more than a few times) are becoming few and far between. Especially in a society that makes porn and booze cheap!
