hmmmm wonder what 'category' I'm in?
I would also like to see the woman version of this thread, but I certainly wouldn't post that myself... that would be counter productive. hehehehe  | |

I think we've bagged one already.
The womenfolk haven't weighed in enough, however. | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 5:50:49 PM | Can't argue with you, Psych. The only thing I can't figure out is how to salvage the typical male image because I don't think anybody knows what it is.
And if there is a typical male, I doubt if you will find it on this site, myself included (thank goodness for that!).
Be as harsh as you want with the nice guys. This is turning into Plentyofspinelessasskissingcaveinatthesightofasetofboobsjellyfish.com | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 6:10:13 PM | And.......you think I was serious???? LMAO....I caught YOU not the other way around!!!!   
Truth is.....Unless god himself....or microsoft....creates me a match, it's ain't gonna happen.
My quote of all quotes: Why is it all women want a man who will commit to them and be good to them.....until they find him?
I litterally just seen a guy with a tall, thin, well built, over 6' tall goddess......and he is NO prize by a long shot....not in her league.....to MOST community standards.....and she was obviously into him....
So I still have hope!!!

Anyone here think the guy who started this post's avitar's head looks ALOT like the robot head in Duran Duran's 1983-4 song WILD BOYS video?
Anyone here old enough?

Posted: 8/26/2005 6:18:15 PM | | Pscyhe, most men are damned fools, so you have some good points there. But best of all is to get the guts to learn to live alone, and forget this fuked up society we live in where men are crucified to death. To hell with what others think, and IMO, let em go fuk themselves. I learned these clues or rules to live by a long time ago. Nobody messes with me. I get very little e-mail, and that is the best thing that can happen. Every now and then, somebody writes a nice message to me, which I do appreciate, but by now it should be clear I don't look for anything or anybody in here. What the hell is wrong with those who think we who want only to talk, to vent, or rage would want anything else, especially at my age. I find some of the people here interesting, nuts, stupid, and very intelligent,,and I fit some of those categories myself. Hell, I don't claim to be perfect, but I aint entirely stupid either. The main thing "losers" must learn is never to expect a damned thing, forget everything once this screen goes blank, and move on with your life independent of needing so damned much. To hell with the earth and the people on it, and think for yourself, live for yourself, and take care of those you make sacred vows to uphold. DAmmit, we all turn to dust or ashes soon enough. | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 6:19:02 PM | | psych Fine, I'll weigh in. I don't find men on dating sites any more clueless than they are in real life. I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way, so don't throw things, okay? I've actually met a lot of great guys, and I'm a man lover instead of a man hater, so maybe i'm not the best female to weigh in. Dating and getting involved can be scary risky business if you take it seriously which I prefer to. I'm not just looking for something to occupy my time or to milk a guy for a date to get treated to a free meal or have my drinking tab paid (UGH!). My male forum friends are totally with it, high class, together intelligent, handsome and totally charming, funny guys. Who all live in another state or country....sigh! When I'm out on a date, I just try to relax and enjoy myself and hopefully help my date do the same. I ALWAYS get them to laugh, though. That's never a problem. I try to keep expectations either low or nonexistant it's just someone to meet and get to know a bit and you might as well have a good time if ya can. I've been told by many people that I have a way of putting people at ease and many have told me they feel real comfortable around me. I guess that's a good thing. I try to avoid the 50 questions job interview suffering, and just try to get them to talk about something that they're really interested in or have a passion for. I'm very conversant, so sometimes they just let me sit there and fill in the blank space with one of my crazy true life stories, or whatever. I often have to say enough about me, let's talk about you. I dig around and try to find something to get them going, then maybe ask a question or two. I am interested in knowing something about them otherwise I'm just listening to my own stories. I could do that at home and save the drive.....haha. I've had very many enjoyable dates whether it leads to another one or not. If I'm not interested I do my darndest to tell the honest truth with their feelings in mind. Let's face it not everyone is just meant for everyone else, noone should take it personal. I do try to screen them well before I meet them face to face. If I don't think it would be enjoyable then why bother? I think if we consider the other person and that it's a give and take situation, not to take the first date too seriously and just try to learn a little about it each and enjoy the evening it all comes out in the wash. So psych how's that for weighing in?? hahaha | |

Quote " Hi ladies, I am a total jerk, I could care less about you, all I wanna do is get you naked and ban* you sensless the first chance I get. I am selfish, only consider my needs, and the first chance I get, I will be looking for a better,younger model. God forbid you gain an ounce of weight, because you will either get nagged or kicked to the curb. I am into myself, and will lie about anything I possibly can, ESPECIALLY to get sex."
Jesus dude.....
So if I am a LOSER by putting the "nice guy stuff" in my profile, then by god I am a HONEST loser. I would rather be single forever than lie to get a woman. (Even though sometimes I believe woman don't WANT to hear the truth.....men too, come to think of it.)
I look at it like this....for every "10" that WILL NOT contact me because I am below their standards, hell, even if it is a "4 or 5"...at least I still have my honesty and respect. The ones that won't contact me because I am fat, or they think I am full of sheeeeiittte, well it is THEIR loss.
I am single because my ex was a total user.....I CHOSE to be an ex.
I don't HAVE to be with a woman. I CHOOSE to. If I CHOOSE to say I am nice, honest, blah blah blah....and they think I am a loser for that.....well dude.....THEY lose for not giving me a chance.
And before I hear
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for a cool post - I'm laughing. Right On Dude | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 6:59:30 PM | Well you do my some good point while others are just flawed. I have gotten my nice share of e-mails from women during the past couple weeks that were interested in me, the problem is most of them are out of my dating range as in too much of a long distance relations.
But oh well to each their own. | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 7:17:35 PM | hm.
a lot of my close friends are 'pseudoplayers' or straight-up players... well, most before they got married.. and pretty much half of my younger male friends.
~shrugs~ these are the guys i get along with best. guys i can relate to better.
some girls like the 'i'm really just a nice guy' schtick and need to hear that sort of 'disclaimer' before even looking twice. just as some girls will need a photo of a guys penis.
(personally, i ignore both)
who cares really.
the typical male image is unsalvagable. however, it is not the fault of hot, cut, smart, active, sexy, magnetic, well dressed, popular, clear skinned, shaven, men who happen to cook well and have clean apartments... nor is it the fault of losers.
I will not even blame it on Maxim magazine
(i adore Maxim, which both players and losers tend to read)
the typical male image is fairly straightforward, player, loser or the shades in-between.
what is a real conundrum, is the typical female image. | |

just because you have this problem about how you look and won't post a pic for the world to see your three eyes, that doesn't mean you're a biatch.
