Why would you date a guy like this?
Posted: 3/16/2008 5:48:43 AM

The bottom line is, I'm a responsible ADULT
.....This is debatable.

This baffles me! I try and try to show this girl that there's greener grass right in front of her face but she's stuck on this other guy!
.....The very same thing could be said about your own relationship, as YOU yourself seem to be stuck with your own g/f and you yourself wish to venture to where the grass is so called greener.

The man she currently sees has no steady job, no money, and still lives with his parents.
.....I agree with what another poster said about the personality thing clicking with her current b/f. Perhaps the b/f is going through a rough patch and perhaps the current b/f is what she needs personality wise. He may have been there for her when she was going through a rough patch.
You state that you were previously married which obviously means something went wrong with the marriage.....I won't ask cause my guess is your ex wife was at fault and you were the innocent one.

Being with someone and chasing another (especially one who is already taken) is wrong. Yes it is your prerogative to choose whether or not to remain with your current girlfriend, however don't you feel you may be decieving her just a little?

I'm starting to think POF needs a new forum section. Something along the lines of "Tell me I'm right" or "Tell me what I want to hear".

That way posters like the OP wouldn't get beat up when they come looking for people to judge everyone else to be lesser beings.

OP This isn't about all the things the other guy isn't. It's about how you aren't all that yourself. If you were, she'd be interested.

By the way, what are you doing, asking someone else's girl out? Are you really a bottom feeder? I wouldn't go out with you either under those circumstances.

Is this woman that you want (the one you want to break up with her current boyfriend) have a profile on POF? If so, I wonder what she would think if she was reading all of these posts right now. Maybe her and her current BF have been scrolling through the forums and have found this subject and are sitting back laughing right now.

Time to move on guy. There are lots of women out there. I'm 36, and I've had no luck, but I'm not going to whine or complain about it. Just move on. Find a hobby. Meet someone else. Join a gym, lots of women there. Do something.

Karma is a b1tch! Hopefully your girl will realize you're looking for greener grass and will dump you.

Maybe his current GF will read these posts and this guy will be found out !! Karma.

I try and try to show this girl that there's greener grass right in front of her face but she's stuck on this other guy! I grew up hearing "gotta have a JOB if you wanna be with me" and then this happens. I don't get it, could she be using him? She can't be in love with a loser like that!

Consider also that the Information you have on him is incomplete, erroneous or completely false.

I doubt if Things were actually that bad without anything to look forward to she'd continue to be with him.

You may also not be aware of their History. Perhaps he has pulled her out some Pit previously and she feels she owes him, and/or he is about to line up a new Job shortly - maybe his Parent's Business which hauls in a couple Million a Year.

It appears you are actively in Process of destroying an existing Relationship. I have ZERO respect for Home Wreckers. Maybe you were hoping the Forumrites might serve to rationalize your Actions.

she won't go out with me, a reasonably successful customer service rep who was married once

You call that "Green Grass"? ...

... if I want to drop my current lady and go for someone better, it is my prerogative ... I didn't ask to be judged.

Cool, We'll just delete the Term "Player" from the Online Dictionaries.

I am not married, and if I want to drop my current lady and go for someone better, it is my prerogative

omg you are such an a**hole, i'm glad i'm not your current girl, i hope she reads what you have written as she finds someone who will appreciate her better, to me it seems like she is just a temporary item until a better one comes along and so on and so on....get a life

Op..men ask what women want...the answer is simple....something other than what you have...you have money and a good job she want's a bum and a looser...you are a bum and a looser and she wants a CEO

Moonchild if that’s your name
She likes the guy full stop, you need to grow up and learn to live and let others live too.
Wish them luck and leave them alone.
Stop be judgemental of others, he could be a loser in your eyes but a hero in her eyes. Wake uppppppp

The problem you dont abuse, you are not a looser or treat women like jerks. A change of attitude for you may turn her on. I am finding out with success. although I would never reccommand you become an abuser.

she could very easily be in love with him,him not having a steady job,no money n living with his folks,this will not stop her loving him n would not have had anything to do with how she fell in love with him in the first place,she obviously loves him for the person he is and the rest does not matter.

maybe he's the first guy she encountered who knows how to put down a toilet seat out of respect for her.

a man's job or income provides very little information about his character. being divorced may have something to do with character, upon obtaining more info and even if nothing notable about the divorce is elucidated, it can still be a detractor for some people who were never married sometimes try to find the same in a partner.

this gal may be one of the few women to judge a man on character instead of things associated with him that are not pertinent in assessing what kind of person he is.

She's evidently attracted to pathetic guys. If you're not a pathetic guy, move on, you're not her type.

move on, she's not interested in you

don't try to figure it out. women are attracted to all kinds of weird things. and just because you have a job doesn't make you automatically more attractive. strange enough, women are pretty independent these days

This thread is full of haters. OP, Ive Been there and done that. Just take the loss and move on. Just because the girl choose him it doesn't mean he's better then you. It just means she saw something in him she didn't see in you. Maybe you made yourself too available, maybe she likes a challenge. Anyways if she cant appreciate you for what you are then she was never worth it in the first place.


A lot of women don't understand their worth and waste their time on losers. Theres nothing you can do to stop, hopefully she grows out of it before its too late.
