Posted: 6/11/2007 10:22:05 AM | Interesting... and I liked that bit about the “blind squirrel”. 
But until proven wrong, I’m stickin’ with the belief that all the good guys are in Austin... okay... maybe in Texas... well, maybe in the USA? Western Hemisphere? Oh heck, ladies, just try finding us around 93 million miles from the sun!  | |

Posted: 4/14/2008 9:01:54 AM | Thank you for finding this, Dave, but I prefer the source article at http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/print/200803/single-marry
Those who have read author Lori Gottlieb’s work before will know her to be a Yale-educated, sharp-as-a-tack writer and commentator – and always entertaining.
If you chose not to read the whole article, here’s my version of the bottom line, to quote Lori: “Where’s the line between compromising and settling, and at what age does that line seem to fade away?”
Sounds like a another potential thread in the POF forums… | |

Posted: 4/14/2008 11:50:46 AM | HowDi, there was at least a second article in section P last Sunday on the topic so that is why I chose that link. The article references her book meaning it purpose is to sell books.
The first question is: When women decide they need to compromise, do you think the good guys will still be invisable to them? The aformentioned article is more an argument for changing priorities, not compromise unless they still value how "hot" a guy is over how good he is. Good being defined as father figure, provider, faithful, loyal etc. Its only a compromise if the relative values don't change and "hot" is higher value than good. To extrapolate a second question from this: Can a woman who still holds the old values of hot over good be trusted? I would say no.
Third: Where were you when you had more to attract the hot guys? | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 8:21:58 AM | LOL, I'm reading these posts and something from my training at work came to mind!
I work for a travel company which books hotels.
When customers call in, they have all manner of different needs and wants for a given trip.
Some say "I want a cheap room to sleep in"--just wants a place to sleep before moving on
Some say "I want a nice room with lots of amenities"--wants a lot for their money
Some say "I want a room downtown or on the beach"--wants convenience and location
Some say "Here's what I need, what can you offer me?"--wants VALUE
Now I'm sure most of you can see a parallel with finding people to date in these descriptions.
The best type of customer (and the type of person we should all strive to be) is the last one.
This is a person who knows what they want, but knows it may not be available. What they want is the best possible return on their investment. They know that a quality hotel isn't going to be cheap, but they also know that they only have so much to spend on the hotel.
This ties into one of my philosophies which states that we should seek perfection, but settle for the best!
Another hotel metaphor. Hotels are rated by what they have to offer from 1 to 5 stars. a 1 star being the cheapest, least accommodating hotels..to 5 stars being the big, luxury properties that offer spas and robes and the whole 9.
Now, a 1 or 2 star property is going to be dirt cheap and will likely be run down and dirty. You might get free parking at these, but it'll be on the street corner..and forget asking the staff for anything! A 4 or 5 star property will be clean and luxurious and EXPENSIVE. You'll pay a premium for parking, bottles of water, EVERYTHING at a 5 star property is gonna cost you a bundle! Unless you're loaded and generous with the tips, the staff will probably be too busy to deal with you.
But see, personally, I prefer a 3 star property. I can afford these mid-level properties. Many of them are very nice and well-kept. You'll probably get free parking, breakfast, and internet. The staff at these places are usually pleasant and helpful and when all is said and done, you'll have had a very pleasant experience that you'll want to revisit.
So, ladies and gentlemen..what kind of hotel are you? And what kind do you want? | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 5:55:33 AM | HI PINK,WHY DO MEN WANT SEX?YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS IN OUR BRAINS,HUGE RELEASES OF SEROTOININ,DOPAMINE ECT.WE ARE ANIMALS SEEKING THE BEST HIGH IN LIFE.THIS IS A BIG PART OF WHAT BINDS US TO OUR WOMEN.
KNOWING THEY WILL FEED US WITH LOVE AND SEX MAKES OUR WORLD SECURE,AND DOES NOT LEAVE OUR BODIES WANTING AND WEAK TO SEEK THE COMPANY OF ANOTHER.
IF YOU STARVE A DOG EVEN THOUGH HE LOVES YOU,HE WILL LEAVE YOU,HE WILL MISS YOU AND STILL LOVE YOU,BUT HE WILL SEEK SOMEONE WHO WILL FEED HIM AND NUTURE HIM.
SORRY FOR YOU THAT HAPPENED OM THE FIRST DATE FOR YOU,WERE YOU ALL DRINKING?THAT IF SO MAY BE SOMETHING OF A ROOT CAUSE.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU,HOPE YOU FIND A NICE GUY.JEEPERS9111 | |
