and I would be pissed and we would fight.


I AM A THERAPIST


Why do those 2 sentences seem to not fit?

I have a mental image of a fat nutritionist or an oncologist who smokes....

aaaaaaaahahahahahaha........lol........hold on..........hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.............lol....okay; oh my god!! yea, blame it on the men, there ya go.

little advice ladies........for a guy to hear all that hate men stuff, it's just a warning signal to us. it's like a bright yellow caution tape to stay away, or like an opportune moment for a perv.

all that i am saying is take a look at yourselves. to just say men are jerks bears no substance at all, especially giving only a minimal example. i mean look how much rejection men go through in their lives. men have to make the first move 95% of the time anyway. and then you reject most of them, anyhow. fact is they are just as nervous and vulnerable as you are. .........grow up.

I can give you my oppinion on what really makes SOME men Jerks..Notice I didn't say all...Some women can be JERKS too..lol..

But, I think there is nothing more rude than guys who want so much from a woman but, when you look at thier profile, you wonder what in the world they have to offer.

For Example: They say things like, "I wan't a slim,busty, hot&sexy, wild in bed woman"...blah blah blah..And when you look at thier profile, you swear you are either looking at a backwoods, redneck, sloppy, humpty dumpty man !!! OR the other scenario is...The guy that loves to brag about himself..."Many woman say, I am handsome and no they are not my friends or related to me." Geesh...

Anyhow, you ladies no what I am talking about. I much prefer the 21st century knight. The true gentleman that knows how to treat a lady...Are you out there? LOL

But you have demonstrated the POF double standard.

How we know YOU are not a backwoods, redneck, sloppy, humpty dumpty woman? You don't have a photo posted.

Granted the guy who says he wants "a slim, busty, hot & sexy, wild in bed woman" is indeed a jerk, but I think I have said enough to make my point.

Everyone was excited because I am the only single one left of all my friends and guess what...he never showed...
======================

Suddenly!

I can tell you the reason he never showed. It was for the reason you wanted him to show. You didn't want him to show because he was special to you. You wanted him to show to impress your friends. To prove that "hey, I'm as good as the rest of you. I can get a man too"
In doing this you have reduced this man to the status of a fashion acessory.

Cherry.

When you can start showing your boyfriends the same respect as you show your parents then, and only then, are you ready for a boyfreind.

To the poster who said grow up. You're very perceptive, and I'm NOT saying that sarcastially at all. This thread started in March. She is 18, so what you said is totally valid. And she did come back and apologize.
Hey, don't feel bad, this is a long thread, and I don't always read all the posts. So no biggie, but the gender threads are usually wrong. Just look at it as what an 18 y/o thought at the time.
There are some of us females who realize that some men are jerks, just like some women are bythces. Fine. I know females I can think of who make me ashamed of as representing my gender.
I remember talking to one of my brothers and he said the same thing. Some men just make me ashamed of being my gender.
So make no mistake, no man/woman is representative of an entire gender. When anyone does that from a bad date, bad experience/relationship, you're depriving yourself of what another man/woman may have to offer.
I've had bad experiences with men, to the extent that a lot of my friends are amazed I would ever talk to a man. Well,why not? I did have an extreme experience with abuse that nearly cost me my life. So of all people, why would I ever consider having a relationship with another man? Because not all men/women are alike.
I have children older than the OP, so I'll give her a hall pass on this one.
You're not wrong in what you said, it was bang on!! But if you'd looked at her profile and seen her age....I'm a mom, I have 4 children her olderthan the OP. So maybe I look at a bit differently.

Men are jerks. I had one we started dating we would have these open discussions and all I asked of him was to be open and honest with me. He stated he didn't want to hurt me. After about two weeks we went to a local water park for a friend of his kid birthday we had a great time spent all day there on the way back to the house he asked if I could drop him off at his mothers house and come pick him up later. So I dropped him off and went home got cleaned up and he calls me and I asked him if he wants to get a bit to eat then he tells me there a change in plans and he going out with a friend of his. Never from the jerk again come to find out the friend was his ex girl friend and he was moving back in with her that night. Never did say good bye nothing didn't even know what hit me... but I found out that he has become a junkie his ex girl friends got him hooked on some nasty stuff sad when a woman has to get a man hooked on the needle to keep him. She can keep him now god know what he's got.

well thanks for the compliment. i'm hearing ya on how she is young and all, but i think sparticus nailed it. even an 18 year old can at least grasp the idea of a man not being a fashion accessory. i mean could that be why some men treat women like an object, or for lack of a better term, "accessory?"......

i am also sorry to hear of your unfortuante experience and applaud your courage to keep an open mind about being with someone.

There are a very few men who are jerks but most of the girls on this board have NEVER even met one, let alone dated one.

Heres the big jerk test for the ladies.
===========================

Get together with a few girlfriends who think that their ex’s are all barstards. List (write it down) their half dozen worst faults.

(If his only faults were genuinely snoring, breaking wind, and leaving the toilet seat up then, ring him and beg him to take you back. You don’t know how good you had it girl.)

Then after your little get together, lob at the public gallery of the family law court. And listen to some of the real horror stories. Mostly lies! Some true! List them too. Then compare these horror stories with your ex’s. Sure he had his faults but how does he compare with the horror stories.??

Finally take the dozen worst horror stories from yourselves, or the courts and see if you know of any man who has those dozen worst faults in the one man.

You would have to be talking about a junkie, addicted to multiple drugs, who had beaten up at least one girlfriend badly enough to cripple her, and had raped his own five year old daughter. These men DO exist and they are absolute barstards. But how many readers actually know them personally? They do exist but they are, thankfully, extremely rare.

Gypsy, and that is my fauly WHY exactly that you are blaming me for it?

Someone was supposed to come over on a Sunday for a cookout. I spent 2 hours cooking side dishes and preparing a salsa for the salmon, bought $15 worth of salmon, and she didn't show. No email, no phone call.....

DAMN YOU WOMEN!!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!!

It's one person, not the whole gender, ok?

I have met the parents on a few first dates and I sorta wished I could have dodged the experience . However if I were a parent nowadays I might have to invite him in to photo him , photo copy his license & vehicle reg & insurance card And maybe show him hunting souvenirs .

I read the FIRST post and I must say that sweet cherry is very angry .All you people missed the obvious. Yes it sucks to be stood up but lets be fair here .Women stand up men as well maybe even in larger percentages than men do[ albeit safety is more of an issue than with men] .Sweet cherry you should be happy the guy does not have sex with you first and than leave , that is like the worst thing that can happen to a woman.

Men become jerks and couples fight about 3 things SEX , Money and Control. When you don't fight about them things Then you have the perfect man or Women period.

Well recently I was cheated on by someone I met on THIS VERY SITE and to be honest, I haven't lost hope in guys. Not all of them are cheaters and liars...but unfortunately I met, and dated for almost a year one that was. Anyways, to make a long story short he's now dating a girl with two kids, once again from this very site...I'd like to know how long that lasts! It seems that the nice girls, who respect themselves are the ones who get cheated on. Oh well, such is life I guess especially when it comes to internet dating.

Butterfly, would you define "cheating" as you see it? Did you go out on one date and he continued to date other women and you thought that was cheating? Was there ever any committment that you would be exclusive? Engaged? Living with?

What exactly constitues cheating in the minds of some of these people who want to take ownership after one date?
