i overheard two women talking,and one said,he lives alone with a dog,what a loser.

What makes one a winner or otherwise is himself/herself and the mind. It does not matter what two women gossiping in Applebees think.


ive lived alone with a dog for 8 years

Glad to know you have a very loyal friend besides you.


you would think a guy like this would be a catch,why do women frown on it?

It is natural for humans to speculate and make assumptions. While some women may frown, some may think highly of the guy. Different minds!

I happen to be in the same category. My dog is a great hiking companion, but the sex is just so so. Seriously though, many here say that you didn't hear the whole conversation. I, personally, am intolerant of the ignorant. I don't mean that in a bad way. I just simply recognize that there are many people out there that are shallow whether they be male or female. Stereotypes are simply judgments and a good person at least makes an effort not to do that. People who do judge like company, so they state their opinion in a convincing way to have their friend agree with their bs. Many of us know better. Good people, who are also good friends, call that kind of bs, to help enlighten their friends.. but unfortunately those that are too far gone expect their friends to support them in their warped way of thinking. Just my thoughts anyways.

This will shock you OP but sometimes some women are jealous losers who find anything they can to explain why a man didn't want them, anything that is except for the fact that he wasn't interested in them. It's just BS and a new one on me, haven't heard that before, they usually pick on guys with cats or guys who already have girlfriends.

Awwwwwwwwweeeeeee! Obviously those types of shallow puddles speak from positions of ignorance....because 10 to 1 says they'd rather have the dog living with them rather than a woman who spews such garbage out of her mouth.

I live alone with a dog. A big dog. I'd be much more concerned about the man living alone with a cat. Or many cats. Especially since my dog eats cats.

I think it shows some committment for a man to live alone with a dog. For some people there dog is like their baby. I know a man in his 30's that lives alone with two dogs. He adores them. It's so cute!

SMILING!
I have to smile because i remember a conversation at the supper table last night with my Mom while dining out, and the host and waiter made some kind of a comment when i casually called her Mom , like omg you cant be her mom!
Well, i just smiled about it and bragged because I am proud of my young looking Mom
Im also wanting to make a point here .
While sitting at that table , we also overheard about a woman whose husband was cheating,
a gramma whose grandson is filing bankrupcty, a wife and husband filing for divorce, a man complaining to his buds that all women are just lying cheating cold dead beating two timing Double dealing mean mistreating little b*****s. , and 3 women complainin about men and their smelly yuk human dogs

SO what Im telling you is that eating out is a time to vent with your best buds
AND it dont necessary mean that is the total content of a womans heart
AND you cant help but overhear conversations at a restaruant, my dear. It just happens. It just is. (in OPs defense)

And as far as sabinee go......... I dont really think her post is negative, OP. Just pointing out that conversation is just that.....you overhear some things and not the whole valid thing, which i my point exactly up there. And i dont think had your ear in a cone. :)

I also tend to agree with EastEnd. (the smell) Take care to get thatwet dog smell out of your clothes. But moreso than that to me is this:
DO NOT post pictures of your dog or your car on your profile! we want to see yOU not your dog and dont first thing say MUST LIKE DOGS. thats worse than a woman saying my kids come first because as far as im concerned a woman SHOULD let a man know her kids come first priorty. Ive seen too many kids get shuffled to the background while mom and dad pursue their own love affairs. Its fine to do that but please consider your kids . it dont always mean they can have their way, no. And the dogs? them too, MEN! They cant always have their way. weg. :)
AND as much as i LOVE and ADORE most of your posts, Danadamye i have to disagree with you on this one. :( sorry. Women arent jealous just cause they dont like a mans DOG! Some women just dont like dogs. Period.
Im not one of those women, but I DO like my man to smell like a fresh breath of air / or musk will do. lol..and NOT A DOG!!!

The majority of single people out there are in their 30's... and dogs are man' s best friend.... a great companion......

most of the womwn I've dated have loved my dog.... and from what I've heard from my female friends..... a guy with a dog is a a turn on for them....

Poet321: and ive dated through those yrs trying to find someone compatible,but my question is,why is there a stereotype on men that choose to live alone.a man that lives alone,does his own laundry, dishes, cooking , cleaning, shopping, working, paying all the bills,mowing the lawn and on and on.you would think a guy like this would be a catch,why do women frown on it?


Alwaysinthought: Don't worry Poet321, I have been a single parent for a while and run my own household. I even work on my home myself. But, my neighborhood is the same way. Its because people are jealous. They are also intimidated by self-sufficient people. You're coming off as not being needy/needed and your scaring the heck out of them!

Guess that means Im screwed because Ive been living alone with a cat for over 3 years now. Time for me to move into my parents' basement and take-up crystal meth...maybe that will make me more of a catch!

ROFL!!!

Any man who has a dog...is a man who knows what "faithful and unconditional" love is all about. In fact...the more men I talk to on this site...the more I like my dog

A guy living alone with his dog is great...shows he is independent, responsible and loves animals...I am at a loss at to why anyone would be regarded as a being a "loser"... shows how f**ked up people are... ok I could see if the guy is in his 30's and living in his parent's basement collecting star wars memorabilia, playing with his lite sabre all day.

well while waiting for our food,i overheard two women talking,and one said,he lives alone with a dog,what a loser.so i thought, is that a stereotypical thought in womens mind that thats a bad thing?


I live alone with my dog, and that's cool with me. I'm not sure I care if it's cool with anyone else.


but it just seems like if you dont have kids by 35 your lost in a world of your own,


35 here, no kids yet, AND I live alone with my dog. I guess I'm about as low on the scale as it gets eh?

It's one thing to live alone with a dog, it's another to have a wierd relationship with it. I know what those women are talking about. I call them "dog men." Their dog actually takes the place of a realtionship with a human female for them. They sleep with it, and want it to sleep with you when you spend the night with them, in the bed. They talk to it like it can understand deep conversations, even consulting it for it's advice on YOU. Just too wierd...

A guy who is in his 30s, lives alone, and has a dog is not a loser. In fact I'd say a man that is not married in his 30s is doing pretty good. Those women you heard talking are just bitter ****es that are looking to lash out at someone else because their own clock is ticking and they haven't found a man to put up with their crap. Don't worry.

Because a man who lives alone and can take care of himself doesn't need some chick. I am starting to realize that most men don't realize how much women want to be needed. They know that they aren't that intelligent or creative. The best women (hot babes, intelligent babes) do whatever the want while the rest of them starve to get prego and start a family.

When I was living alone in NYC, I did my own cooking, cleaning, dishes, paid the bills, paid my mortgage, laundry, shopping, and played all my favorite video games. The women in my life were upset because they knew I didn't need them. They wanted some guy up under them that they have to take care of in order to feel needed but they are quick to cheat on that guy, leave him, or get prego with someone else if they find a better deal. If they can't find some man to support them, they want to support some man-child until they find one. Lame indeed......

thank everyone for the replies,some weird ones too,like you look at your dog as a kid or an icon,no,its my dog.i happen to like to train dogs,everyone needs a hobby right?making money at your hobby,that would suck huh?anyways,dogs are mans best friend,im convinced of it,i can litterally just look at my dog,and pretty much command her with my eyes.and it had nothing to do with sitting down and training her.it just became a leader thing.and the whole dog/sex posts,laughable,yeah my dog sleeps on the bed,and yeah,once im settled down,she'll lay her head on my feet at the end of the bed.it all comes back to the pack mentality.she wants to be with the pack.my dog doesnt even like to eat alone.pack mentality.always been an intrest of mine.might need it someday
