Posted: 1/5/2007 7:41:15 PM | I think Metallic is onto something. Words are potentially powerful, and sometimes not every thought, expression or idea is as carefully thought out. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, and try not to get hung up on verbage.
To simplify it, for whatever reason there is no every woman/every man that everyone one of the opposite sex will want, desire or even be attracted to. That whole concept seems to be one of the most misunderstood, especially on a dating site. Don't have to read too many threads to see that's true. | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 7:49:54 AM | Okay, I thought of a perfect example where this kinda thing comes into play. Take Donald Trump. Throw him into a relationship with an ordinary, plain-looking female. Okay, she does something typical for a living -- a good living to most people, but not good enough for Mr. Trump. Additionally, Trump thinks that this new woman doesn't stack up to his former wife Melania, the always gorgeous Eastern European woman. In this case, he says to himself, she's not good enough for me . . . but isn't that what we always say when we break up with someone or vice-versa? But, make no mistake, I don't necessarily feel Trump is right, it's his own opinion.
(to those people who don't read carefully: I'm NOT talking about the Rosie vs. Donald T Feud thing here)
Okay now to RJB888. Hello! In general, unlike the laws of electromagnatism, opposites do not attract. I agree. Also, one can still look for "something different" and not be looking for something completely different with respect to the person looking. In other words, just because "you're looking for somene 'different'," it doesn't mean you're looking for something different compared with yourself just different than what you now have.
And, yeah, I agree with everything that you wrote on your list. I noticed that everybody on that list is
a criminal -- hardly anyone can disagree that law-abiding citizens are better than these morally inferior people. That's why we put them in the big house.

Posted: 1/11/2007 7:53:05 AM | | Even IF a guy is a drug addict/has 7 kids.. I never say someone isn't good enough for me. Who am I to say I'm better than anyone? "He's not right for me" would be something I could see myself saying... but yeah that does sound rather egotistical in my opinion. | |

There are more diplomatic ways of saying things...but maybe since you guys are able to talk to each other, she felt she didn't have to sugarcoat it for you? Sure, it can sound egotistical..I wouldn't have said it in that manner, but it usually boils down to just that when we aren't interested in someone.
There are some women out there, where their expectations are unrealistic! The only guy for them is unattainable!
6'2" built like a brick $@#$@ house.. Gorgeous figure, etc etc..
You know, a hottie with everything.
And anything slightly less than that is not for them.
They'll never find anyone and they'll stay single because they can't find anyone that will work for them!
I think these girls need to grow up! and lower your standards! | |

Exactly. You might be THINKING this, but to actually SAY it to someone screams "IT'S ALL ABOUT ME". This person needs attention to feel fulfilled. Not very attractive. | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 8:09:25 AM | frequently, when a woman experiences rejection, her friends tell her 'he wasn't good enough for you anyway.'
maybe your friend sensed that the relationship would end up with her getting hurt, and decided to pre-empt the dissolution of it. | |

Right. You don't know him. Also, lots of people behave differently 1. in public, 2. with someone of the opposite sex. | |

Posted: 1/12/2007 11:51:45 AM | | That is quite often the way modern women think. If a guy doesnt make enough money he's a loser. If he doesnt own a car or a condo he's a loser. If a woman has good looks and a prestigious job she wont hestitate to brag about it and use it as a tool to elevate her status. Those type of women like to look down on men who dont share the same over-ambitious, money driven mentality. It makes you wonder what kind of feminazi crap women are being indoctrinated with these days. Misandry is alive and kicking. | |

Posted: 1/12/2007 3:37:34 PM | | I can understand both sides of the arguement. I have high standards which many women don't meet up with. Its better to be honest with the other person, and move on to the next girl. | |

Posted: 1/12/2007 7:38:39 PM | True - a lot of girls have this attitude till they hit their mid 30's, realize that they are still single and start dropping their standards faster than a lead balloon. I'm beginning to see it amongst several circles of my friends - they're settling pretty fast because they realize that society doesn't value older woman as much as a younger woman.
Being guys, our value is what we can bring to the table in terms of status and wealth, not reproductive worth. So I'm not worried about not finding the right one until some more time passes.... | |
