you hit tha nail on tha head.....Most guys who reply or message w/ 2-3 word answers arn't really interested and are maybe trying to show that in their lack of interest.....If a guy is really interested he'll ask lots of Qs......I will never talk/respond to a guy bearing abs.....That right there is saying "come get me, I want sex", no thanks, And I'm not looking for sex...

Are You are so sure a man bearing abs would want you or instigate anything in the first place ?

but that just the opinion of my abs -- they dont speak for all abs

but my abs want nothing more than a wife to come home to at the end of each day rather then just sex

I don't know about anyone else, but I think the solution is quite simple. If the person is a player, it's very easy to know...just don't sleep with them, until you 'really' get to know the 'true' insides. For most women, when they sleep with a man, they're thinking in terms of long term (speaking for the women over 30.) However, most men don't connect on the same level, as women. Sex is 'just sex' to many men.

I tend to believe that if people just started taking time to truly get to know the person, you might just find out who the real person is -- before you get played. I think the biggest problem with most people is they think they know the person, after just a few days/weeks. I know it can seem like that, but did it ever occur to some of you that the person could be bad news, even though they come off as one cute cookie, for a temporary period of time?

All it takes is time, and remaining friends during that time, instead of f* buddies. They say, you never really know a person til they live with you. I think this is very true. So, the more you hang around them, the more you will know about them, and the more you will know whether you really want to be with them, long term.

If you're worried about grabbing them because someone else might, then think of it this way...if someone else does, what do you really have with the person? A fantasy?? Or, is this what could have occurred, if you were with them, long term. Just something to think about.

Great Rule of Thumb...All it takes is TIME!!

right, it's tasteless thru IM and even more so publicly.
next

and you're right Chris, going to a gym doesn't make someone a less desirable fish, but the ones who LIVE for it, from my experience, are usually self-focused and have little left to give to another. Again, just the ones I experienced, not a blanket statement.

If that fails, theres always the poetry test: Ask a guy to write you a poem. If it is horrible (like grade school type poem) then scrap him. If it sounds really good, Google it! It's probably plaguarized! If it sounds really good and is original, then he has shown his sensitive and romantic side. It's not full proof, but I think girls will get a chuckle at watching guys scramble over words to win their heart ;)

Hey! You can google some of mine right now... which could be problematic, as they're my originals anyway! I love this idea of a test, and I wish more women would throw it at me; I'd probably not be single right now if this was a credential for all women before entering a relationship.

Hmm, can we amend the Constitution to add this?

I think the OP forgot to mention rule #8:

8: Avoid Men who feel the need to start threads bashing other men, and presupposing that all men are exactly alike, in a vain if not obviously apparent attempt to make himself appear more appealing to the women reading the forum.

Avoid those types like the plague. Not to mention rules #9 and #10:

9: Real men, unlike pretentious phonies, do not in fact brag about their tea tottling, and in fact prefer coffee, and do not in fact enjoy eating quiche regardless of how trendy it may be at the moment. If they do in fact drink tea, it is to quietly sip a calming Earl Gray in their study in private.

10: Real men, unlike pretentious phonies would never be caught dead uttering phrases like "Phew" , or "whoopsie doddly doodoo". On the other hand "Hi diddlyho there Neighbor" while dubious, can be uttered in an extremely manly and non-pretentious/phoney manner.

In response to his original 7 BS rules:

1) Men post those pics cuz women enjoy "eye candy" just as much as men do. Any woman who claims she doesn't enjoy seeing a nice "6 pack" or "Set of Biceps" or on some rare occaisions set of nice "glutes" on a man, is in fact either lying (thus a phoney herself), or a lesbian (not that there is anything wrong with that).

2) A Man cannot be blamed for how his female freinds choose to adorn themselves in pictures. So why would that relfect on him, or make him a phoney? Boggle!

3) How does one determine "Life Revolving around" unless one takes the time to get to know someone better? Again Boggle

4) This one cracked me up completely, as the OP continously uses the proverbial "u" instead of "you" in a discussion of proper grammar. Nice one Mr. Kettle.

5) ALL Men like Sex Alot, if you haven't clued into this yet, by all means allow me to reitterate; ALL Men like Sex Alot. Last I checked, they were for the most part doing this particular activity with women, which could lead one to believe that in fact, ALL Women like Sex Alot too. People really honestly need to get past this hangup already. How one feels about sex is not in fact a litmus test for their character and value system. So OP and those like minded individuals who think that it is, get over it already.

6) A 2-5 word email is called a "probe" and is something done by both men and women, and again does not necessarily reflect directly one way or another on their actual personality or value system. I would hold this as dubious as using the letter "u" instead of "you", but go figure.

and lastly..

7) This comment is solely written to give creedence to his alleged "good guy" status, and is nothing more than an amateurish "lure" to boot. Women who post such pictures know why they do so, and surely know what to expect from doing so. What relevance this particular point has to the original premise of this thread is beyond me.

Nice try OP, go sell crazy someplace else, we are full up here. If you must market yourself, by all means try to do so without stepping on the backs of others, or putting down others to make yourself look somewhat appealing. If nothing else thanks for the mildly amusing chuckle, I had something caught in my throat and it helped clear it.

Have fun ;)!

WOW, Lovely thread.

My opinion on workout pics. I have a couple on my profile. I'm not mad or angry or on steroids. I don't have any social problems or a desire to beat the crap out of anyone and everything. I eat very healthy and workout regularly and I'm pleased that women notice that and even complement me on my looks. (HEY, EVERYONE loves a nice sincere complement about themselves). Anyone (man or woman) who has the discipline to take care of their body should get kudos and not be disrespected or put down. I'm not the biggest baddest guy on here but there is nothing wrong with having some muscle and overall tone. MOST women I know DO appreciate a man that takes care of his body and they DON'T mind having a nice pair of arms to hold on to, and a guy that makes them feel safe and secure. So women, would you rather know up front what type of shape your potential man is in? Or take a gamble at an out of shape, beer gut bandit who only has face shots? I think it takes BALLS for anyone, man or woman, to put a full body shot up on their profile, especially workout pics, because it shows you have nothing to hide. Considering some men and women are completely misrepresenting themselves by using pics that are 5 to 10 years old on their profiles should say enough.

PHEW... Enough... Happy Fishing Everyone!!

Hey Codex. U R a rockstar.
Actually, what intrigues me is why bubba started the forum in the first place. They say to know why, U must see what was done, or something almost nearly close 2 that, and not nearly as muddy.
Helpfulness of people, those wishing to re-instate morality, and clean up the sleaze, usually get their hands dirty... something suspect here Watson. Find Sherlock!

And me? my crime, transgression, tedious vanity?
maybe 'he who gives, wants to be given more'
-- Damn! Was that still giving? And now? And ...
(see, nothing a little shock therapy couldn't fix)

BTW -- I've read that post 10 times, and its still funny U fargin bumpkins.

Answer with laughter to 'lickspittles' - though I generalize and condescend to gratify my ego, but a thought, a thought one does not always feel the right to think:

'U look up because U wish to be exalted, I look down, because I am exalted.'

ANd also, U made an outstanding first impression Codex.
And IF they made U doubt it, consider: "all intercourse except with one's equals ruins the character."

I think its time to go babble in the corner.

This female is repulsed and not impressed by seeing a man showing his "6 pack" or "biceps in pictures." And the same holds true for women who feel the need to pose provocatively in pictures. I see it as attention getting. In my opinion, let a person get to know the whole package, not just the outside wrapper.

Eye candy? Well if it wasn't thrown in our faces, then guess what, we wouldn't look. I do not find rippling or bulging muscles attractive. I am not saying that a person shouldn't be fit. I am saying that going to extremes is not attractive to me. I like a man to have little love handles, it's sexy.

And no, I am not gay or lying. I will look. Hell, I will sometimes look if some guy feels the need to show his "package" to me. Men aren't the only ones who check things out.

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer men to wear shirts when out in public. The only time not to wear a shirt or top of some sort is at the beach or pool. I was with my exhusband for 13 years and he never took off his shirt while outside, no matter how hot the weather was. Maybe it was the way he was brought up. His three brothers were the same way. As I write this and think back, my first exhusband and my son are the same way. And MOST of the men I dated, always had a top on while outside.

The only thing wrong about this thread is that there are people, men and women, that do need to be told or even reminded what is acceptable behavior for most and what they have to watch out for. As most of us have read many of the topics in here, it is amazing how many people have no common sense when it comes to dating. Maybe they should start teaching this in school as it is an important part of life.

ACTUALLY IA MA VERY ATTRACTIVE MANY SAY 'HOT' TALL BLONDE WHO JUST LIKES MEN! AND DOESNT WANT A COMMITTMENT, MAYBE THAT IS WHY PEOPLE WHO CAN GET A LOT OF DATES COME ON SUCH SITES AS THIS.

SECONDLY, WRONG.. AND VEYR SADI F WOMEN CANT FIND ONE GUY WHO WONT WAIT FOR SEX ACTS. i WAS WITH A GUY FOR YRS AND , THOUGH WE WERE VERY PHYSCIALLY ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER CONSTANTLY, HE WOULD LEAVE OR NOT STAY OVER AND WE DID NOT HAVE SEX ..YEAH, SORRY IT IS POSSIBLE. AND WHATS 'IT' 'GIVE 'IT' UP?' THATS CRUDE LANGUAGE THAT SHOULD BE A TURN OFF TO ANY SELF RESPECTING WOMEN OR MAN!

Yes there is a tremendous amt of disrespect for self out here . ha ha! but when youre in the act of passion, face it, it feels like youre VERY much respecting each other's bodies and selves!

This has been a great post, big thanks to the author, and the rest of you crazy people as well, I think it is a tough subject these days, women are much more out there with there sex life than 20 years ago, if I don't push sex in the first date or 2 a lot of women think something is wrong,,that is a fact. Soooo, I don't know if I agree with all of the first post on this one, but I agree with a lot of it, one other thing,,,,,every woman is different, my last date I had from on line was a dinner date at my house, she showed up in a mini skirt with no underware, after dinner we sat on the coutch and she put her legs on mine, well in about 5 minutes I was carressing her@#@ and she said " what the hell took you so long" this is a true story...hmmmmm, so some are naughty and some are nice,,,I prefer the naughty.ha

WOW! Just how gay and insignificant are you to whip up some quick stereotypes! Listen Dr. Phil, why don't you keep your opinions to yourself and try spending more time working on your self-confidence and most likely your self image! Gay, introverted converstaion will only get you so far but in the end I am sure most women know what they want, and by the sounds of it you probably are not it! Get a life twiddledee! I am appauled that you would even try and suggest what is real and what is not! Pathetic!

Hi Cowhorseman;

I'm a little confused by your sentance. "Unfortunately, some women are drawn to immature, self serving males, then come back for more punishment."

If this is what they're drawn to (assuming they're big girls who's daddys say they're allowed to date) how is this "unfortunate"? You did say they're "drawn to" it so therefore it is not then what they want?

While we're at it, regarding your closing suggestion that high standards are somehow indicative of some kind of subterfuge - dude, how do you figure? Is it wrong to like attractive, successful people?

At the risk of being rude, you sound like you're a bit of a self-righteous, ass kisser.

GreenEyedBrat, you are smart:

Or you could just do it the old fashioned way and wait em out. It really doesn't take long for someone with a hidden agenda to drop off the radar. Generally less than a week, though some hold out longer.

Didn't know it would be only a week for most.


Here's the funny part, though: why do guys even try this stuff? That's the real puzzler for me.
dollycham, the reason men try it is because it DOES WORK. I knew a guy at university, because he had done it to a few girls I knew. He would go to the bar, grab a girl and try to maul and kiss her, get rejected, then go for another. He would typically go through about 20-30 girls a night. But he ALWAYS went home with someone. ALWAYS. As far as he was concerned, it was a successful strategy, because it worked. One night, he even got some action off a cleaning lady, just because he tried it on.


I'm a little confused by your sentance. "Unfortunately, some women are drawn to immature, self serving males, then come back for more punishment."
It's unfortunate, because if you are a friend of a woman like that, or a friend of a friend, you know that that woman will be complaining about it for the next week about it, and nothing else, and you will be getting ear-ache. And in another week or two, you will get it again, about the same guy!
