| Why are men still single and please be honest
Posted: 12/1/2008 6:42:43 PM | Ummm...it may seem mob mentality and cliquish...key word...seem. :) Did you know that POF has something like 900,o00 members (I may be off by a zero!) and only 2000 of those post in the forums?! So yeah...I think it may appear the same ole, same ole peeps are posting...but that does not make a clique. To me...a clique is when a circle of people are close minded and do not welcome others into it...which is the OPPOSITE of what we do here. :)
Sign me on to bring the eggs! | |

Posted: 12/1/2008 6:53:12 PM | I'm single because I wasn't man enough to marry my last gf. I chickened out and let her get away. I loved her and the heartache afterward was a tough lesson to learn. I didn't believe her ultimatum and had to learn the hard way.
I think men will stay single as long as their gf lets them. Why commit when you're getting everything already?
Love is a battlefield.

Posted: 12/1/2008 7:23:17 PM | LMAO Bay. I always laugh when I read your posts.
I read a lot of the posts I admit, but there are very few I comment on. I don't think I'm part of a clique or have a mob mentality. I do, however, have an opinion of which I have no problem voicing if I so CHOOSE. I am in no way ganging up on anyone. As I've said in my posts, everyone has an opinion and is entitled to that opinion. Along with being entitled to that opinion comes the RIGHT to voice it. I for one would never make it in a world where I didn't have that choice.
Steve, sorry you let her get away, but maybe you did learn a valuable lesson. I don't think it is a gender thing on being scared and ultimatums rarely work out. I hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck.  | |

Posted: 12/1/2008 7:30:51 PM | Wow, Steve...that was one of the most heartfelt and honest replies on this thread! Obviously you learned something...and won't make the same mistake twice...nothing worse than living with regret. :) Well, dying with regrets, but still!
OK...I ain't no short order cook, peeps! LOL
And Bay...my point exactly...it might FEEL like a clique or the same ole, same ole...because not even a small percentage of the members, actually post! | |

Posted: 12/1/2008 7:56:05 PM | You're not one of the ones that p's or spews when ya laugh are ya Nita??? :P
And that was my point exactly, it's not mob mentality, it's people feelings strong enough about a topic or comment they feel the need to voice their opinion...
Believe it or not there are A LOT of posts i get the urge to post on but rather than start something i bite my tounge...
(--- not agree'n wiff Kat, she always lets it go to her head!

Posted: 12/2/2008 7:45:54 PM | | Okay, I've been dorking off on this thread but didn't give my answer to the question so let me take a shot. :P I think that all of us have different ideas about dating. I've heard instances of people going out on one date and KNOWING they were ready to turn their profiles off and date that person exclusively. That's terrific but very rare! This has never happened to me, although I have been on a COUPLE of dates where a second date was mutually agreed upon. Then, I think, it gets down to a matter of expectations. For instance, if after one date, you both agree that it's not a mutually exclusive THING but you'd like to investigate knowing them a bit more, it's probably helpful to stop reminding that person that you're a "free agent". That's a romantic buzz kill. Nothing impedes a flirtacious email exchange faster than someone who doesn't know how to take a compliment without reminding you of the non-exclusivity disclaimer. Say thank you and flirt back. This is supposed to be fun! If you've both agreed that you're in the very same place, then throw caution to the wind and let them "see" who you are. After all, they may not like you at all after awhile so it's time to put your best foot forward and show them your dazzling personality not your wet blanket. LOL! If after five dates with a person you think it warrants further discussions about exclusivity, then discuss it at that time. Personally speaking, I think it's important to fan the flame of a budding romance ,rather than douse it by holding the other person at arm's length. I'd be willing to bet that more than a few budding young relationships have been extinguished by reactions that one of the parties felt were too stand-offish so they just moved on. | |
