Incenses is not a real word.....a guy does not have to be a stud if he is intelligent for me. I look at how they write and if they can spell..or at least if they took the time to use the spellchecker. Guys are picky if you want a committment-then they don't want ya.

Robert:


You didnt answer my question as to why I'm not bright

I actually DID answer your question...see, you're not bright.


You keep saying I didnt get it- didnt get what??

You didn't get it...ALL of it. I answered you three times, at LEAST.


fk you're an idiot
If you say so.


I can see that you've been doing nothing make silly jokes and trying to mock me, none of which are the least bit funny, since I started this thread
Yes, that's exactly what I was doing...duh.


What YOU dont get is that I've been asking you for a a logical argument to refute my threads argument and all you give me is freaking nonsense and bad jokes
Logic has been tried a few times, by not just me, and you don't get it. I won't try to explain anything in depth, because a LOT of stuff has gone right over your head. Move on with your life.


Try to say something intelligent for once, stop babbling away with all this nonsense.
You go first. You know what they say..."shit before the shovel".

Okay, I just wrote a nice response that didn't have any humor in it, so Robert wouldn't be offended anymore. I tried to offer advice. Well, guess what? I just got an email from Robert! So, my nice response is now replaced. He's basically telling me the exact same thing he said in his last post. Insulting me and being a big baby.

Robert, grow up. Get some help with your anger management issues and seek some help for your woman-hating attitude.

I agree to a small extent what you are saying! The problem is unfortunately most Guys say very unrealistic stuff about themselves. Then they want women to put up with the fact that they are full of sh_t. Honesty is the best policy always has been and always will be. I do understand why they set their sites high. They have probably been burnt too many times by the ones that are full of it. HERE IS TO YOU LADIES THAT WON'T SETTLE!!!!

Eldubu- " it took you three times to get it". Did it not occur to you that I understood it perfectly well the first time I read it but just didnt respond to it until three posts later? Not too bright are you? And as for your so called pathetic attempt at 'logic",all its been is to tell me that I'm generalizing in my argument. Is that the best you could come up with? Wow you really cut me up with that one didnt you? That's pathetic. I explained it to you perfectly clearly that I'm not generalizing, I'm making an observation on what I've seen. That is what is over your head. But youre too stupid to realize it or read properly. You'll no doubt make another stupid response taking ten quotes from me and offering more nonsense but it wont change the fact that youre an idiot. Try responding to one thing at a time and make some sense if you can or I'm giving up on you.

Oh, God no!!!!! Don't give up on me, Robert!!!! We've got a good thing going. Keep writing me emails and coming back with the EXACT SAME THING in every post you write. I explained myself perfectly. Give up.

This turned into a big flame war, so all will get deleted, if not the whole thread. Who cares? You are bitter.

So, the original poster, z3t3 and a few other guys here signed up believing it would be easy to get laid becauser the women on internet dating sites are desperate dogs, and furthermore, by posting their profile they sign away all right to say, "thanks but no thanks", or ignore an insulting/demeaning email or IM. They found out that this was an incorrect assumption, and now they are pissed, and coming to the forums to rant, bash and. well-WHINE! That's OK but another right we all reserve is to speak our own minds when we read something we feel is inaccurate, incorrect or just plain bullsh*t...
Starting your own dating site, eh? OK, fair enough, let us know when you get it up and running, I'll sign up so I can include my experiences there in the research project I'm doing, possibly even mention it in the book I might write...

Son, here's a tip, unless you have some sort of remarkable NEW twist on dating website, don't strain yourself starting a business in an overcrowded field, that by your own statements, "worthwhile" people aren't going to mess with anyway. Why start a business in a field that's pretty much peaking out?? Naw you better go back to all these hot women you are apparently meeting OFF line...

I'm sorry if you are only catching carp when you were hoping for a rainbow trout...maybe you need to rework your bait...

OK lets say for arguments sakes that you did really explain it like you just said. Explain it again for the record, just to make it clear. Its your way of avoiding the question and its not going to work. Lets hear it again...I'm all ears...

RE;RE; Robert,,you ask about the woman that say dont contact me unless your 6ft... well, I guess they are being honest,,if they say if you are under 6 ft you are a short freak,,then I would be mad,,because I am under 6 ft, but they save me and them some time and trouble by saying they need a 6 ft man or taller.... I would say you should thank them for saving you the time and trouble.
O,K here is a true story,,I went on a date from this site about 3 weeks ago, I really liked this woman, she has 2 daughters at home and I have 1, she is strong and says what is on her mind, I really like that, she was attractive and the whole bit, after our time together she went home, about 120 miles away, I could tell it might of been the last date, I ask her why and she said she needed someone with more money and a bigger place,,now about 10 or 15 years ago this might of really bothered me, but now it does not at all, this is why, first it was courageous of her to be honest, but secondly I know how hard it is to raise kids and how much money it takes, so when they put there needs and likes out front(which takes courage) we should thank them, not spank them.
Secondly,,in some strange way a lot of women are very effected by sight,,,like,,they want a nice clean house,,I could live in a dirty shack, they want a nice car, I drive a metro and on and on,,but it is a blessing for society that we have these woman that want nice things, if they did not alot of us guys would have society living in tents..thats my humble opinion.

Whew! I read every word. Choked back some giggles and some bile…
Yes Robert, women have the right to be picky. Men have the right to be picky. It is each person’s prerogative to make decisions that affect their lives.
I am on the site for the forums. I have a simple profile, no picture but managed to find a great man that without making a list, met all my expectations and more.
Hoping at some time you actually reread so of the suggestions here and learn how to interact with others in a less juvenile way or you will remain a very lonely little boy….

If the only reason she did not want to have another date was you do NOT have enough money or big place then that is not a good reason.

In your case if he had married a women with 2 girls or lived with one then the following would have happened:

1) One home .... so lowing housing costs .... one place less to rent or pay a mortgage, heating, electiric, etc

2) Less use of cars ... less gas and car insurance, cars will last longer, etc

3) Lower food cost ... cook at home more often

Lets say that if you total the 3 items and you would save $1000 per month

That would be $12,000 a year ... and this is paying with after tax dollars ....

Not sure what Federal, California income taxes rates are ...

Lets use 25 percent as a total then ....

You require about $15,000 less in income that you do NOT have to put towards general living expence but instead can use some of these money on the kids and retirement

My apologies to all, but I've been challenged to prove what is already in writing...


OK lets say for arguments sakes that you did really explain it like you just said. Explain it again for the record, just to make it clear. Its your way of avoiding the question and its not going to work. Lets hear it again...I'm all ears...
I'm going to assume this means that you haven't figured out how to go from page 7 to page 1. There are numbers near the top of the screen. Click on one. You only simply need to read. BUT...since you need me to repost every freaking thing that you and I have written.



You didnt answer my question as to why I'm not bright

Here are a few examples...
Robert:


Also I didnt generalize, I said that many are not all, at least from what I've seen.
NOWHERE in this thread did you write that (or a reasonable facsimile) until this exact example.


I'm not here to make silly jokes I'm here to have a serious logical discussion
Such as this?:

Honestly, its ridiculous how much women here expect from guys


Most above average looking women will not give the time of day to a guy who isnt a total hunk or a superstud


Guys arent that damn picky


Women on dating sites are extremely superficial and want way way too much


it just incenses me how women have such overblown senses of self-entitlement and overinflated egos that they would blow off any guy who isnt a total stud


Even above average looking guys get treated like garbage. The only way you get any substantial attention is if you are model quality


Sure guys can be superficial and picky too, but nowhere near the extent that women are. Not by a longshot
and my personal favorite:

My bit ch isnt only about overly high standards women set but their attitudes too. Their attitudes suck, simply put. They are rude, arrogant, condescending, hostile, stuck-up, egomanical, and utterly snobbish.
Yeah, all very "logical" statements.

This is the statement I made that you tried to somehow flip around to take the attention off yourself and aim it towards me:

I've been insulted much better by much brighter people.
Your response to this quote:

And what's this: "I have been insulted by brighter people"- what does this look like? You just insulted me now
To which I say:

NOW you're getting it!
I thought my reply made it obvious that you seemed to finally understand that it was MEANT as an insult. PS: the exact quote is


I've been insulted MUCH BETTER by MUCH brighter people.


Then there's this one:

You do realize that my posts being the only ones that seem to have pissed you off is actually a compliment, don't you? I hit a nerve.
To which you reply

you mean to tell me you were just complimenting me not insulting me by all that bit ching??? Are you joking again because I dont see anything but you making mockery of my post and nothing complimentary
Here is the point where it became really obvious that you were trying to have a battle of wits, unarmed.

And this is where you seem to have gotten confused the most:

I can't believe it! It took 3 posts, but you finally got it
I don't really need to re-post everything, do I? I've been accused of trying to get out of having to prove myself....look back, it's all there for the world to view.



Who do you think you are insulting me like this and calling me a dimbulb and treating me in such a condescending manner?
Yeah, just like all those ****es on here who won't talk to you . You're right, I guess I could be worse and write something like this...

My bit ch isnt only about overly high standards women (replace with the word "MEN") set but their attitudes too. Their attitudes suck, simply put. They are rude, arrogant, condescending, hostile, stuck-up, egomanical, and utterly snobbish.
Your response tells me that you don't think a woman is allowed to have any attitude that you don't approve of. I think you definitely wouldn't put up with a woman in your life who has a mind of her own. Why do I get the feeling that you treat women like shit in real life?

OK first of all, what makes you think I didnt "get it" as you say? I just explained that I understood it the first time I read it but didnt respond to it until after the third post. So you see, you made a flaw in reasoning right there- you assumed that the reason I didnt answer right away was because I didnt understand, which isnt true. That's poor logical reasoning. That wont get you good marks in a criticial thinking course my dear. So after all those times you said I dont get it, its really you didnt, but you're too dumb to realize it and you probably have some psychological disorder because your thinking is incoherent, utterly illogical all over the map.

And as for all those quotes you took from me, all it is based on is the claim that I'm generalizing, that's your big "wow" of a logical argument, that I'm generalizing, like how ingenius. I said earlier that I am not talking about all women, just the ones I've seen on this site. Its an observation based on what I've seen. Clear on that? I didnt mean all women in the world like you seem to be reading. What else have you got because if that's your only attempt at refutation, you the one making yourself look like a fool.

Summerskies: Don't worry, there's plenty of laughter here. I never take this stuff too seriously. I think he's going to propose soon. I'm going to pick out the dress tomorrow.

Edit: alright, alright...if it makes anyone feel better, I'm done. Robert's just too smart for me.

Be nice.. cmon.. I swear I think you BOTH give a hell of an arguement.. He is obviously venting.. people get hurt on here sometimes.. even when you SAY .. it doesnt bother you .. the truth is.. sometimes it does hurt.. or possibly TWANG your ego, or self asteem when some hot shot online blows you off or is nasty..
Like I've said before.. common courtesy SHOULD count.. even on the Internet..

Give me a break. This site as well as others it is the men who have the high standards,
Most physical descriptions for woman from a mans point of view is usually, slim, athletic, fit.
Heaven help you if your a woman who is actually shaped like a woman instead of board.
I admit that I do weigh more than I should, but when I was slim and in shape I was miserable.
Granted I would like anyone I go out with to be like Brad Pitt or Bruce Willis, but thats not always the case. As long as we have fun and can talk, laugh, and enjoy each others company, who cares what the outside looks like.
