I'm not sure what you're not buying? What am I selling for that matter?

I'm very honest and up front with women about my intentions to stay out of any kind of relationship other than dating. They generally disregard the warning. So, I say, do as you like or whatever best serves you.

Getting one's hopes up seems to me to be just that. I find [found] we all have hopes for our partners we choose. Call them too high or what you will. What are your hopes young man?

I dont want to get too much into the therapy here...

But in my line of work we deal with kids who come from troubled backgrounds and we work to build there confidence and show them they are not all good or all bad and that they are human. They usually do very well for about 6 months, and then they start acting out. This "good" kid that theyve become, they feel like hes not really them, like they are just putting on a show... and we have to work with them again and allow them to understand that they are not perfect, but they are still good kids, even when they do something that is not so good. We are all human, no one is 100% good or bad for 100% of the time. You are a person with strengths and weaknesses like anyone else.

Its hard to articulate this well, so hopefully it makes sense. You seem to have the same thought patterns as these kids.

To sorta answer both of you, I have the same hopes and reams as everyone else. I simply want to be happy. What it takes to get there is not the point. Whether that means someone else or not is also a side note. My life is remarkably good! I have a fabulous and healthy daughter with which I do many rewarding pursuits and share much time together. Of course I can't help but feel that I'm missing out on something more? But the reality of a relationship and the issues involved don't offset the good times. In other words, it's more trouble than it's worth! So I live as a single guy and have good times with women pretending that we're a couple until it's time to go home. At which time we go our seperate ways. This is ideal for the time being, but someday I would like to believe that there could be more, but reality and history has told me that it's not bloody likely! So I go for dinner, watch a movie, and go home alone. Simple as that!

To respond to Melissa, I'm all too aware that I'm not all bad. I'm also well aware that my life is pretty damn good. But in the real world, there are issues in relationships that can make them more trouble than they are worth. Maybe I'll someday find the person that it may work with, but I suspect not and am not willing to risk it all to find out.

everyone is who they are under certain circumstances and also depending on how they are feeling about themselves (what's going on in their own lives). there's soooo much more to us than the "good" things...a real relationship is all about acceptance, unconditional love. lol, I don't know if this has been said before in this thread....didn't take the time to read thru..sorry :( but that's just my take on the initial post :)

offkilter,,,when you feel that natural urge to want to be with someone,,you will knowi it. Sounds liek your time isnt here yet, Like i was saying in the email i sent ya,,,you're pretty busy doing other things and basically,,,too busy to date? At one point in your life,,,you will want to fill a void that will eventually creep in and when that happens,,,,just take your time and find yourself the right one.

Was that too corny? lolol

It's not as simple as just making the time for someone. There are real problems for me being with someone. And honestly, they can't all be fixed. There aren't answers to all the problems I have in relationships. I wish it was simply a matter of time, but the trouble of being in a relationship far outweighs the good side. AS long as it's that way, I'll keep my limits. And there is no forseeable day when it could ever happen? Other than allowing myself and the other person to settle for each other. And nobody wants that!

Welp,,,im not sure what your problems are for being with someone and why they cant be fixed, so i guess to answer your thread question would be a 'yes'.

In every relationship, there is concession. Some refer to it as that, and others as settling.

Is nobody honest enough to admit that there will always be some settling or concession for any of us to be with someone? Seems pefectly fair and straight up.

Means you humble, thats a good thing. Just as long as you aren't a big jerk in real life. I am not perfect eaither, but I am worth knowing. Nothing wrong saying it. I don't think it makes someone look bad. If I look bad, sorry, but its so true.

Women want a little mystery. Why tell them everything about you all at once? Leave them wanting to know more.

But there's a very good chance they won't like what they find out? What then?

I like knowing things about someone that is important to know. If they don't like it don't sweat it. There are many people out there and someone will be o.k. with it, as long as you aren't hurting other people and stuff like that. If you are then thats not nice, work on changing that.

But everyone has standards, and not everyone can really meet those standards. I am one of these men. I may be capable in some areas, but not in others. So where does someone like me fit in?

Everyone is different, its the same way for the other sex as well. You just have to be your self, and look for someone that you can relate to. There are people out there thinking the same thing as you belive it are not. Its just finding them that takes some doing. Enjoy the forums, and maybe over time you will grow on someone, and they see how you think, and contact you. If not, at least you make some new freinds. Atleast you see how people think. They all have some kind of doughts. They also have a past to, so just enjoy the forums, and find one you like. Good luck. If nothing else maybe you learn the way the other sex thinks, maybe that will help you out where you live.

The other sex has standards for a partner just as my sex does. For anyone to choose me though, they would have to make some serious choices, and settle for something they may not be prepared for.

I'm useless in bed. So for a woman to be with me, she'd have to be prepared to go without sex. Or certainly good sex. But I'd rather not have it than be the constant let down.

Why are you useless in bed?
When you meet someone it sometimes takes a little bit to know what they like, and them what you like.
You have to talk, and enjoy each other. Its fun if two people are willing to try. Not everytime is all heated up, some times it takes a little bit of learning your mate to get it right. Then one day you look back and thing damn I am good.

It's not without experience that I know this. It's unanimous. It's just not what I was put on this earth to do. Genetics and experience has failed me in the bedroom.

Are you talking can't get it up?
Are fast draw?
Maybe not all that big?
Deformed?

There are things that help them things. There are meds, and there are toys. Most girls welcome most if they want to enjoy a life with you.
