In my life experiences when a man is all open and honest...You become the FRIEND to a woman...Like 99% of the time...When you act like you could careless...Or a excon,abuser,no-job.drunk/drug addict...They will love you to death....Then you ask their friend what do you think of him...OH HE IS SUCH A NICE GUY!!!!!So i am begining to think that what women call decent and what a guy calls decent are 2 different people...Must be some truth to it...Look who she is with...Look at these threads....

Disagree....In my experiences women love baggage...As far as DRAMA it is a requirment to have...If you do not have it according to them you are boring...Which is fine with me...Just tell me up front you want MR.ROUGH AND TOUGH and i am out of there...I found out most women will more than gald to lead you on until Mr.JERK comes along..Then she wants to play the friend game...You know the type...be your friend until Mr.Jerk comes along...Then she literly does not know you at this point...She could careless about your feelings...She is too busy getting abused by mr.jerk...Then when he has all his fun and she has 3 kids by him...He leaves...Then she wonder why a decent guy do not want nothing to do with her...But it is all for the best because i have found out she is just like him!!!!

whoa ...ok - I dated a guy who showed up in jeans (they were dirty and ripped) and filthy work boots. Yes, it was a huge turn off !!!! One of the nicest guys I know (and date on occasion) has a very sexy (well trimmed and clean) goatee. I have no idea what kind of money a guy makes until I get to know him a bit and the fun I have had on dates has no relation to the kind of money that was spent, nor any indication of whether I will see him again. What women want is a clean, respectful, hardworking, generous and loving man who treats them well and is honest and loyal.........other than that, you are totally correct about everything

flux>>>>sounds like he will ultimately be the friend. Women tend to want those types of men as friends for some reason not anything else...

^^^^^why do you assume this? isnt that how a relationship starts out..as being good friends? sorry you went thru hard times....it shows....you seem bit bitter....but it doesnt mean ALL woman are the same....so please dont put us all in the same category...you have no clue as to who i am in life. and giving that advice....only shows what your capable of yourself. when people say "friends"....i take it as i am not interested in you for a partner... simple

It's true, women are very picky. They are all self-absorbed, and looking for a hot guy with rock hard abs, a huge bank account, and a 8 inch weiner.

Anyone else, is out of luck.

In other words, be something that you are not and play the phony??? Not for me! If a woman doesnt like you for what you are, or your ways or methods, then she isnt worth your while or time! Plenty more out there to chose from!

Ah, i gave everything i had and it still wasn't enough. Still had to go see about the bad boy type. Guess they were right a long time ago. I had been labeld too nice. Kinda funny tho, after years of being cheated on and being lied to, still you keep some sort of niceness.

Women don't truly avoid any type of guy do they? When you have that much power, who can resist trying out every flavor imaginable :) I don't blame women for making poor choices in guys because guys choose women poorly as well. However, I have no sympathy for someone who keeps making the same mistakes.

DEFINITION OF INSANITY: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Let's face it! Men or women, none of us are perfect and it is our imperfections that make us human.
I'm sure that if put to the task, each one of us can list dozens of undesirable traits that we find
unappealing in the opposite sex. Yet, that wouldn't stop any of us from putting ourselves out there and
doing whatever it takes to find the one who believes in us and whom we can believe in. Those of us
who had lived and loved and surfered naturally would develope some sort of screening process to avoid
repeating past mistakes. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as we remember that unless the
perceived negative trait (or traits) is a deal-breaker, we should give the person a chance to win us
over with his/her more redeeming qualities. Easier said than done, right?
I believe in putting one's best foot forward, but, not to the point of being deceitful. I'm sure there are
other threads in this forum that address that particular issue.

Sadly though people will always remember and notice the bad things about a person and forget the good things about them. That is how stigmas come into play and follow you around.

#24. Avoid any girl in a poncho. She’s a slave to fashion and will try to make you use expensive hair-products.

Flux.... There is nothing wrong with being a nice guy. I wish there were more out there! Everyone seems to say that girls like the "bad" guys... well guess what? There are so many of them out there that we get stuck with them whether we want them or not! Nice guys are usually the ones that are already married (happily married).

But there is a differnce between a nice guy and a "push over". Women want to feel like they can lean on a man during times that are stressful, when they feel like they always have to be the strong one and carry the weight of the burdens, that is when "nice" guys are unacceptable!

Oh gee, this must be time for my confession. I have been a No. 5, The Cheap
Guy, a few times, but mainly because the lady had become so darn expensive!
I really never plan on asking to go "dutch treat" on a first date, because even
if such doesn't lead into a second date, I wouldn't spend a lot of money anyway.
I like first dates to be simple, friendly, entertaining, and likeable.

Let me ask you some advice ... I don't normally do this, but earlier today
I registered as a new member on a dating service website and I did not
upload my photo until about an hour later. The website customer service
soonthereafterwards informed me that it might take up to 48 hours to have
it approved and posted on my profile.

While I am waiting for their approval of my photo, I saw a profile of a woman
who was considered to be a "match" of what type of woman I want to date.
She didn't have her photo posted either. I thought that I would email her,
hoping to get her telephone number, and if she is a good conversationalist
and she seems to be sociable enough to maybe go out on an "introductory
blind date", then I would tell her that there would only be one "catch to it".
And that would be breaking rule number 5 above, because I am broke until I
get a paycheck on the first of next month, and I would simply ask her to buy
some beer and come to my apartment. A first date for about ten dollars.

Are you going to give me you advice?

I will say this, I may decide to do such, and then again, I may decide not
to.

Just for fun, as another question to you, do you think that I will ask such
of her (only if our telephone conversation is compatible), or do you think
that I won't even contemplate such further?

Maybe you just think:

"His confession? It was more like his confessions."

By the way, I really liked your disclosure of the eight types of guys that
women avoid.

Do you want to know what I don't like about a woman?

My answer: "Flamboyancy, boisterousness, drinks to much beer or the like,
and boorishness."

Anyway, thank you. I will be sitting in the front row studying the above.

MJ ...
I don't know how to break it to you ...
If anyone asked me to "buy some beer and bring it over to my place" ...
for a first date ...
sight unseen ...
I would say ... "He's NUTS" ...
No way I would agree to that!
Any respectable woman would feel she would be setting herself up for trouble with that scenario.
You may be a nice, gentle, good man ... but until she's met you and judged that for herself ... she is not going to put herself in a potential harm's way.

Sorry ... call them as I see them.
It's just not a safe feeling from the get go.

@ smallhagrid

Not to zero your post out but I guess I am going to do that anyway....lol....you brought up some very good points that I also think might need a little demistifying....and I do understand your frustration you are not alone. I think a lot of guys feel that way, like "all women want the exact same thing and they don't really want a good guy"

My applologies if I say stuff that is redundant I did not read all 5 pages:


From the start most judge a man by his appearance - and even if they are warned he is a 'blue jeans' kinda guy, they still expect a him in a 3 piece suit.


women don't expect a 3 peice suit women just expect a man who is nicely put together. what that means is dress for the occasion and we may never even need to see a three peice suit. Guys like it when we dress to impress right? well women also like men to put some effort into their appearance, and clothes show that he puts effort. Women like to be wow'ed.

An example: Just because it's saturday and you have been laying around in your house pants all morning and we decide to go out for a walk doesn't mean you can't throw on a nice sporty shirt on with jeans to go out.


full beard and moustache gets blown off because women seem to
think guys with facial hair MUST be 'dirty bikers' -


well is it that or is it simply that we wanna see your handsome faces, not all covered in hair like Ricky McMountain who just got back from going missing in the forest for 7 months?
Please don't take offense to that, it was not inteded at you, it was a general thought. If guys wanna appeal to women they need to figure out what appeals to them. As men are quite simple creatures who tend to like the same things, we women also have the commonalities that we find appealing. And beards and moustaches for the most part is not one of them. Typically speaking men prefer long hair over short hair on women...well a lot of women won't cut their hair super short because they take into account what guys like.

Tight fit bodies is what appeals to men, we women try to work on our bodies to appeal to you. so it works both ways. And we get more than enough slack for our weight issues....read all the forums if you don't beleive me...Trust us we'd love nothing more than to sit at home and pound back the Godiva boxes but we all know that it's a lose/lose situation so we don't.


I'm not going to comment on the financial issue because that is very individual, every woman has her own thoughts on this and I would not want to speak for all women on what their preference is. I will say though if you are responsible, have your life in order and hold a decent job you are happy in, most mature (not age, mentality) women would find that suits them more than enough.


A guy that admits that he is mostly a homebody who is happy to do the cooking, cleaning
and buy the groceries is way too BORING for these gals - even if he is willing to get home
first and have the dinner started or waiting....


well this ties in perfectly with the OP's point, women like bad boys not for the arrogance, the disregard and the selfishness... what appeals to them about a bad boy is the unpredictability. The element of surprise. It's sooo true! Who wouldn't like that? So while a man who cooks and cleans and is a homebody is ideally what we would like for those 355 days of the year, it is nice to know that 10 days our of that year there will be an element of mystery and surprise because it doesn't matter what day of the year it is, he is spontaneous like that and he is unpredictable. If we think about it, predicatbility is what kills most relationships. And its not that we want guys to be pulling rabbits out of their hats all the time...but sawing the lady in half every once in a while wouldn't hurt to spice things ups...(lol ) ok waaay off track....yeah predictability, too predicatable = not fun. Girls like to have fun too.

By the way it's a given that if women are going to ask for these things they in turn can also offer the same back, so no double standards here.

@ Nikki2306 EXCELLENT points! well said.
