Posted: 4/7/2008 9:53:12 AM | this issue is completely irrelevant for the most part though i think sex is better with the needy type because they put more emotion and "want" into it.
what does matter, is that if you are highly educated, and your man is not, is that you dont put him down. remember this, just because you make more then he does, that doesnt mean he cant survive just fine without you, unless he is really jobless and you turned him into a "housewife". | |

Posted: 5/2/2008 8:55:03 PM | | Yes it's very nice to have a woman with her own mind to bring her interesting life into the relationship, just as long as she's not using it as some ego thing constantly trying to put down others so she can feel more, or if she's trying to use it as a way to manipulate others by telling them all the time how she thinks they "should" be.... | |

Posted: 5/2/2008 8:57:18 PM | | I just don't like the simple-mindedness of "either-or" questions. And I find that people who ask them usually have a nefarious agenda of manipulation and mayhem...or mayher. | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 9:26:18 PM | Yes; I'd much rather prefer direct honesty than hinting and expecting me to read their mind.
I mean after all, this isn't junior high anymore. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 6:14:06 AM | "Speak their mind" is quite an ambiguous term. In my mind it can mean either a person who is not afraid to voice their own opinion, or it can mean an obnoxious loudmouth.
If you mean a woman who:
* speaks their political, social or other viewpoints without fear of rejection or reprisal, then yes.
* bad-mouths, insults, white-ants or gossips, then no.
* is able to convey the message tactfully and has respect for those who have opposing views, then yes.
* puts their mouth in gear without engaging their brain, then no.
Ultimately I think it is important for people to not only have enough self confidence and self respect to voice their own opinions, but also respect other people equally. People with no self confidence would be needy whereas people with no respect of others would be obnoxious. My $0.02 | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 9:02:21 AM | It's not about speaking your mind or being sucessful that turns men off usually. That's the denial line some sucessful women use because "SOME" can't admit their A-holes.
I can think of a couple of attorney's off hand that I never got to the meet and greet stage with because they were both so full of themselves. I could have cared less what they did or how much money they had. My interest was in who they were as women and our personal chemistry.
They were both looking for a doormat and should have been shopping at Home Depot not a dating site. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 9:05:54 AM | | Yes, absolutely. My x-wife and I where together for 10 years and she spoke her mind quite often, however, she would never tell me how she felt, what was going in her world, and what she wanted of me. Which lead to her leaving, so, you can speak your mind and still cover up the truth, so in general most men love women who will speak "honestly" and in regards to "true feelings". | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 9:44:13 AM | I am a very open and honest person and have no problem expressing how I feel...good and bad. If I feel joyous and loving, the man will know it. In the same breath, if there is something disturbing me, I will lay all my cards on the table and raise the issue. He may not like it, but he will always know how I feel.
Speaking my mind does not make me an a$$hole, it makes me an honest person who is not afraid to address tough issues. Get to the root of the issue and deal with it with HONESTY!! Good or bad, the man will always know how I am feeling. But one thing I will never be is somebody's 'yes man' or doormat.
If you don't be open and honest when issues come up, little concerns suddenly snowball into huge and dramatic situations...deal with it with honesty and openness right from the start, before it gets out of hand. I don't think that is a bad way to be, actually. | |

Off-topic but I'm still looking for somebody who can wrench on a motorcycle. Two bikes, one garage, an empty highway for us to ride on together... Bliss. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 3:12:27 PM | Our attraction to you is a balance between how good looking we find you, the right level of perceived availability to us, and if you are fun or at least pleasant to be around. The latter becomes more important with time.
If you speak your mind and inside you are a meglomaniacal ****, we may tolerate you due to the hotness factor and/or the belief it will be worth putting up with you at least for a while to have sex with you a few times. But you are on your way out make no doubt about it.
that guy who said that women who believe men don't like women to speak their minds because they get rejected when they do, hit the nail right on the head. If this is the case then you're probably just an ***hole. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 3:25:46 PM | Well I dont like to argue and I dont like people that do; I dated one girl that got off on always having conflict and I dont want to fight all day long.
I like someone's point of view but there are some people that think their point of view is the most important, or that it even needs to be heard. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 9:31:41 AM | You guys. I don't understand why you think that a woman speaking her mind is arguing.
In my mindset now, you communicate feelings or problems before it becomes an argument. I do agree that there is a limit on both parties about speaking minds especially if they don't have a mind.  Just kidding. | |

Posted: 5/24/2008 4:08:08 AM | Guys like women who speak THEIR minds. Unfortunately very few women do.
Most women who THINK that they are speaking their minds are actually just parroting off something that they have heard from the girlfriends or the womens trash rags. | |

Posted: 5/24/2008 10:28:01 AM | I've known a lot of people who have been rude, boorish, inconsiderate, and mean, and when called on their horrible behavior have defended themselves with the old canard, "I'm just speaking my mind," or its cousin, "That's just the way I am."
I do like women who speak their minds, but they have to have something interesting to say, too. I enjoy a good, heated debate as much as anyone else (should come as no surprise to people who read my forum posts) but I don't like people who are narrow minded and arrogant.
Some people speak their minds because they have something interesting and unique to say, but some speak their minds to show off to the world how smart and how much better than the common rabble they are. The latter turns me off instantly. | |
