Posted: 4/30/2008 11:19:54 PM | | A man who keeps his word. If you tell me you are going to repot my giant indoor potted fern for me, then I expect that you will actually do it. Don't make promises, no mater how small, and then not keep them. It's a trust issue and a true barometer of character. | |

Hope your day is absolutely wonderful!

Posted: 5/4/2008 9:58:36 PM | | I would like to have a conversation where SEX does not enter the conversation ONCE.... I get tired of answering e-mails where all the guy wants is to get laid... beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as a gentleman in the big phishing pond. | |

Posted: 5/5/2008 5:47:07 PM | | Women want a lot of things from their men: attraction, confidence, self-reliance, penis, protection and an ability to cook. I think women who don't want to talk about sex are either more likely to catch a disease or less likely to have sex at all. | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 10:12:13 PM | What SAY the want in a man has absolutely NOTHING to do with the reality of what they'll date in a man.
If you want to know what she's attracted to, your best bet it to look at her track record. Women are emotional, not logical, so they don't learn from their mistakes.
If her last man was controlling, the next one will be too.
If her last man was a deadbeat, the next one will be too.
If her last man was addicted to drugs/alcohol, the next one will be too.
Ask any woman about men she's dated in the past, and you'll learn her value system. If a guy was "boring", he won't get a second date. But if he violent, criminal, or a drug user, she'll say "I dumped him... after 3 years!".
One thing that's consistant with the extreme majority of women is that they're very superficial -- notice how nearly all of the personals ads require men to be "tall", and most women will only date men over 6' tall, which is less than 22% of the US male population.
I know LOTS of men that are "nice guys"... single, honest, sucessful, in good shape...they all have trouble getting dates. I know lots of guys that are jerks from the start -- lots of women in their lives.
It's also of note that women are ATTRACTED to men with a criminal record and criminal mind. Pay attention to news reports of criminals, and note how many are married, have kids, have girlfriends. It's nearly ALL of them. The guy that killed pregnant Lacy Peterson, dumped her body in the SF bay, and continued cheating on her --- had over 20 marriage proposals while he was still in trial! Have any of you guys had 20 marriage proposals in a year? I haven't... and I haven't killed anyone. | |

Yeah, we've got them all over this site.  | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 12:17:54 AM | | I know a lot of nice guys too. They're nice to me because I'm another guy and they don't want anything from me. Just because a guy is nice to you and is your bud, doesn't mean he acts the same way when he gets involved with women. Things are quite different behind closed doors. | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 12:56:12 AM | This thread has actually gotten to VERY funny!

Caliboomer... you said it perfectly!! Promises without delivery have nearly turned me me into a lesbo (I said NEARLY!  )
for me a relationship is about bringing everything together and beening on the same level....
Kiwivixen... I too require that we be on the the same level before I "been" him!
... your profile says to drop you a line if I read it. But your filters don't allow a 57 year old to do that. So, to be polite :-) "Hi, How are you. I caught one of your posts in the forums and came over to read your profile. :-) "
dofiagle... I still can't stop ... I've never seen anyone approach the filters by messaging through the forum... not sure why I think it's so funny.. but I do.
Women want a lot of things from their men: attraction, confidence, self-reliance, penis, protection and an ability to cook.
Skoochie... doesn't a penis come without asking on most men?
Women are emotional, not logical, so they don't learn from their mistakes.
Gotfin.... okay, this one hit me as not-so-funny. Are you saying that a woman that is emotional cannot be logical?? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly before I correct you. I can assure you that women DO learn from their mistakes!

again Gotfin... Superficiality has nothing to do with wanting to feel protected and safe by having a tall man by your side. So I guess I'm saying that only 50% of me is superficial by also wanting him to be to be taller than me to ensure we make a "hot couple" .
Ummm Gotfin...
I know LOTS of men that are "nice guys"... single, honest, sucessful, in good shape...they all have trouble getting dates. ... Could ya introduce me to few of these men?
They're nice to me because I'm another guy and they don't want anything from me. SoCaliBob... How do you determine this fact?
Just because a guy is nice to you and is your bud, doesn't mean he acts the same way when he gets involved with women. Things are quite different behind closed doors. Amen Bob (or is it Ah... men  ) | |

No. I used to do that a lot, but even though the guy was exactly what she SAID she wanted, the women would ditch the guy with the most rediculous excuses. Recent case just a few weeks ago -- they met, liked each other. First date, they go for coffee, she says tells him she's not feeling it. I ask her what happened - "The bill was $5.10 and he paid with a $5 bill and a dime! No man pays with exact change, that means he's cheap!" I kid you not, that was her excuse for ditching a guy who was EVERYTHING she asked for, plus the guy is very tall. Her dating history: obvious liars, player types, most recent was married. I will NEVER introduce her to a friend again. There is always a lame excuse.
sure I understand you correctly before I correct you. I can assure you that women DO learn from their mistakes!

Nonsense. You're not any safer or more protected by height in today's society, where the bad guys carry guns and knives. The only place where it's an advantage is if you're in hand-to-hand combat, as in a bar fights. And if you're finding yourself frequently involved in fist fights then maybe it's time to reconsider where you're hanging out. As far as looking like a "hot couple", if one partner is more than a few inches taller than the other they just look goofy.
Women are emotional, not logical, so they don't learn from their mistakes.

Really? Have you seen the statistics of women who leave physically abusive men... and immediatley hookup up with another abusive man... and then another? Just for fun, read up on how the biggest problem at women's shelters is not the woman fleeing a bad guy, but coming back again and again... because she's attracted to abusive men but can't admit it. Again, personal experience -- knew a women that left a bad situation, got on with her life... her next boyfriend -- a just out of prison convicted murderer. "Oh, but it was just a homeless guy he punched to death, and he really didn't mean to kill the guy... he's really sweet and misunderstood". I'll never, ever forget her saying that.
Do you watch Dr. Phil? Watch the episode where this violent guy shot his girl's eyeball out, left her for dead, telling the neighbors she shot herself. He got convicted of attempted murder, and she's trying to get him out and re-start the relationship. No LOGICAL mind would even consider that. That's a real eye-opener into the "what do women want" question. Dr. Phil is good with this stuff, he asks the right questions. | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 4:30:54 PM | I don't Watch much of Dr. Phil, but I did read his amazing book (can't recall exact title, but something like "Love Smart").
There is much truth to what you are saying about abused women and I agree that they are not logical in their subsequent choices, but I'm still unclear whether you understand that not all "emotional" women have been abused.
You still didn't answer my question... Do you think that emotional women cannot be logical??
Now take a chill pill and tell your friend HE IS CHEAP! He should've left a tip! | |

OT - Apparently what we all should be looking for is men who watch Dr Phil and can save us from ourselves. | |

I think it is a real shame when people need to watch a TV show to find out how to live. At least if you are reading a book, it's not a completely passive activity. | |

I was forced to watch Dr. Phil one time. I rapidly came to the conclusion that it was a big setup, i.e. it's fake. He seems to have ethics problems as well:
The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists imposed disciplinary sanctions on McGraw on January 27, 1989 for an inappropriate "dual relationship" reported in 1988 by a therapy client/employee from 1984.
Edit: he doesn't appear to be licensed anymore either.
