I am not looking for the perfect man. Just the right one. Who will accept me for who I am and love me through it all. It's not all about looks. I have dated really hot men and not so hot men. Baggage is acceptable.. as long as you are willing to deal with it. Oh and honesty is a big thing. Don't expect it if you can't offer it yourself.

Wise words!

On the topic of 'perfection', that went out of the window in the Garden of Eden, for men and women. It's unrealistic to search for a 'perfect' partner as we're all flawed. No point criticising men and vice versa. If you find someone with similar interests, a good friend, then that's great.

Hmmmm....very interesting comment.
Im not trying to have "tickets" or too big an ego, but, here in Australia and eve over sea's I am very well known for male modelling and for being on the man power circuit (ver popular male strippers), now, obviously I keep my self looking my best, wheather thats my face or Abs or arse.
Now people would then say Im a Ken doll, blonde hair, blue eyes, tall. So does that mean i should date Barbie? or an equally attractive girl? NO!!
I date a girl for who she is, personlity! Her baggage and skeletons make her who she is and make her beautiful for being able to carry on with those things in her life.
I personally wont date a girl or sleep with he until the 3rd date and i know her as a human being, her personality, i dont care if she's not a size 10, my X was a size 18-20 and I loved her for who see was, I would be married to her right now, but she passed away....
so....not every good looking guy wants a good looking girl, because that good looking girl is only going to get ugly and majority of good looking girls dont even have a brain or a personality these days.
Personaly, I would go for a girl her has baggage, who has skeletons, who has emotional problems because a woman with that, is the most beautiful woman in the world.
So guys, go for quality of a woman not how big her tits are and how small her arse is.

I write for many other forums on the web,on things most of you could not deal with thinking about.those places are surely different and have a lot more intelligence

And you say it is others who bash? The only thing you have shown here is that you are a pompous ass. Frankly, I am disappointed in myself that I have wasted keystrokes on you; I will cease to do so. Carry on.

OH COME ON! What do you want us to be searching for? Let's see, a guy who has a little bit of baggage (as in 3 kids from 3 different women), takes a couple of showers a week, works 2 months out of the year, curses a storm, only promises to beat me up twice a month!!!?
Define perfection for me please? Remember that the responses you will get here will be based on each person's individual definition of the word "perfection". For me a perfect guy is: 1. I am crazy for him, both physically and emotionally, 2. takes care of me, 3. Knows what he wants out of life, 4. Holds a JOB! 5. Is faithful, 6. Lets me cry whevever the heck I please and never thinks I am "weird" 7. Can fight with me but get over it quick. 8. Damn brings me a rose at least once in a blue moon. 9. Introduces me as his GF and not his "friend"10. calls when he says he is going to call! ...
I could go on and on. I think most women appreciate these qualities in a man. I think they are reasonable and not even close to "perfection" at least not in my definition.

I beg to differ. It is better for you to say that 'not every good looking guy wants a good looking girl because she will be competition for him! The attention will be on her too and that is something a "good looking" guy is not willing to share HA! HA!

I agree, Daisy. Each man is perfect in his own way, and there is a woman out there for him.

The same can be said of men. Personally I think women are more likely to place higher expectatations on themselves about who they think they should be and what they should look like (Super Mom, a Playboy Bunny etc.) than they are to honestly believe in a Prince Charming.

Even if they find him, he still has dirty laundry and all the other frailties of being human that they'll have to deal with sooner or later.

dont want anybody with kids ( come-ing from a women i found that to be strange) The moral is that most of the women on here are greedy gold diggers


Must say I don't quite understand why you find it strange for a woman to want a man without kids? If they have their own different story, but why would someone who has no kids want someone elses? Fair enough if it was 'the one' but generally I go for guys without kids.

'greedy gold diggers' whats your definition of this? Women who want to be wined and dined? Showered with gifts? Taken to exotic places?

So many men think a woman wanting a man to be successful and able to provide for himself is being a gold digger, why? I've not dated much but i was in a long relationship, he earned alot of money and I never expected a thing off him, we took turns most of the time at dinner, shared the bills etc, even holidays I paid half because I always pay my way. Maybe your just attracting the wrong kind of woman due to your attitude?

I have never asked a man what his profession is on here, so I find it hard to believe every single person who has contacted you has done so.

I wouldn't want to be with a woman who felt like she was "settling" for me. I expect a woman to have high standards; in fact I demand it. A woman who has low standards obviously doesn't think very highly of herself. I'm not looking for a perfect woman. But like me, her baggage should at least fit in the overhead compartment. If you are whining that the women here have standards that are too high, then maybe you need to lower your standards as well.
Perhaps you're looking for a gorgeous woman who has her act together, but you yourself aren't willing to get your act together and be the man a woman like that deserves?

Sure, some of the people here are kidding themselves. But to say "If they're so great, then why are they on an internet dating site?" is ridiculous. Perhaps they are here because they figure that by broadening their net, they are more likely to find someone who meets their standards. Perhaps they are sick and tired of clubs and bars but don't know where else to meet people. Perhaps they really believe that there are others out there like them, who are wading through the mediocre in order to find the cream of the crop. Just because they are here doesn't mean that they shouldn't have high standards.

Ultimately you have to be a person that YOU like and others will start to see the same thing.People can see right through a false smile.I've met quite a few really great people from this site and not one of them was out for "money" or "status".Work on yourself first and then worry about a relationship.

Baggage?
Posted: 11/1/2007 4:42:32 PM
Baggage, friends who love you for more years than your marriage
You children, parents?
Jobs, and life experience.
If there is a sexual act that was done to you, one that you don't want repeated, that is baggage!

Get over yourselves folks, I am a really nice guy with great friends and family.

But, they are not my lovers, so I look for a lover and you say I have baggage? Are you really so vacant?

This is what makes memories. I wanted them with my wife, after many years I couldn't deal with a person who doesn't feel these are the building blocks of our marriage. So, I filed and divorced, once my kids were launched.

Should I jetison 3 great children on the chance we might be a couple?

I don't want you and you don't want me.

Baggage?
Posted: 11/1/2007 5:50:50 PM
Life experiences are not baggage. Family, friends, children are NOT baggage. Baggage is something that holds you back and keeps you from moving on freely. Baggage is your inability to move past what happened TO you, and let go of what is not part OF you.
The longer you live, the more of life you will experience. Hopefully this will make you a stronger rather than a weaker person.
Too much baggage is a problem because these are things we have not allowed ourselves to grow from and they weigh us down. So somebody treated you badly, that is part of life- but how do you react to that? By dragging it around in a briefcase and letting it negatively impact the rest of your life, or by refusing to let them change who you are and tossing the negative feelings in the trash? Baggage refers to hang-ups and issues that pop up in ugly and unpredictable ways. We all have baggage. The question is how much do we carry and why?

Baggage? or ???????????What are we doing wrong
Posted: 11/8/2007 7:13:21 PM
Does what you are deeming as "baggage" not make us who we are? Weak, strong, whatever the result may be...I am one of these people who do not like the way the word is being over used and thrown around.
How about you?

I read a post by some character named Druidon. He wrote (in part)

"The one thing I have realized is that a forum is for someone to let go of some things in a civil manner,I write for many other forums on the web,on things most of you could not deal with thinking about.those places are surely different and have a lot more intelligence .... I can go back and forth with a lot of you like this for days,and soon or a later I could get a real sense of who you are and probably say some things that would not only devastate you but send you home packing to mommy.But surely that would not make me the better person,but never the less it can be fun at times...."

It is apparent that his IQ is exceeded by his belt size, and the swiftness of his mentality is slower than a herd of turtles racing through peanut butter, but does he have to display it publically? I would venture that his version of a challenging '' forum" where he can "send [posters] home packing to mommy' is the Disney board where they discuss which is better...Mickey or Bugs (Warner Bros.).

And to think, they allow people like that to breed ...

Referring to the ratio of 5 men to 1 woman, I thought it was the other way around,
more women than men on this site. Wow! Gives me great hope but I'd like a true ratio on this one. Maybe the guy who created this site would have stats for us...
I'm not looking for a perfect guy, just one of the reasonably good guys on the planet...

It's not limited to women. I can't tell you how many men are seeking beautiful, slender women in their 20's and 30's and the men are in their 50's, have a huge beer gut, are bald, and don't have a job.

I dated one guy for a short time that wanted a woman who agreed with his political views, agreed with his religious views, was beautiful, was well-off financially, would become a vegetarian for him, would become a size 2 for him, could get ready to go out within 15 minutes notice or less, and would get up early every morning (including weekends) to go to the gym with him to do rock climbing.

beauty/sexy is as beauty/sexy does. Not everyone goes down the tubes with age.

I dare say you had better get a girl who does not need mirror time because in your house there would be a fight if she did.

Gee and it's finding a man who's realistic I'm having a hard time with! Let's get real, it takes aLOT of things to make a match. There is likes/dislikes/chemistry/acceptance/pasts....etc and etc and not the least of it is timing! You single out women alone when in fact it's a universal thing. I can't tell you how many men's profiles state they want someone "cute" or "gorgeous" nevermind the brains beneath the beauty! And I have even read more than one profile that states they want someone "who doesn't argue" and I find it utterly impossible to believe that every single guy on here "loves the outdoors and works out 5 days a week".

People are people.........period. Find one that you click with and hopefully the feeling is mutual and they can accept the whole package!
