| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 5/31/2008 7:50:51 PM | It is a gift, any friendship romantic or platonic that is healthy and good is a gift..
I have made a lot of awesome friends off the net and through them more friends. I have one of my favorite galpals in the world was a date of a date of mine.. we met through him. I have strong and valid friendships from the net.
100% of my dates this year have been men I met in the real world.. but all of them are connected through someone I met on line in one way or another.
So be open to friendships. How many of us have hords of single people to go out with ? or quiet friendships that grow over time. You never know who will walk in to your life at any moment so keep lots of doors open I say. But... there always is one the majority of men on here are dirty hornbags! .. maybe cause most of the women are too... ... yes i said it big generalization.... come get me  | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/1/2008 12:55:58 AM | Im not going on a date tonight cos im flooded in......yet again. Damn living in the boonies!! The idea is to go on the date and get them back to your place before you get flooded in, that way there's no escape...well that'd be my plan...Any non-swimmers out there? | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/3/2008 1:31:20 AM | brisgrl2. point 1, that photo was taken when i wasn't ready & no i was not agnry................
Point 2, I don't like older women, i was raised to be the older person in the age relationship. plus most of the women i have meet that are older then me, have all had an issue with letting themselves go & i just don't see anything in them. i think older women taking a younger man are trying to relive some miss spent youth...yes call me a prick but thats what i think...........nothing personal................
point 3 and a lot more find football very interesting. i don't find motor bikes interesting, or car racing, or tennis, or golf.............get my point.............. | |

Just had to ask, does this apply the other way around?. Was just wondering considering you dont like older women cos they have "let themselves go"
Maybe you like younger women because you are trying to relive some mispent youth!! | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/3/2008 3:06:04 AM | | i think it makes more sense that a person dates someone a lot younger because they feel that they missed out on things there friends were upto and trying to catch up on that lost part of there life.......if you had a misspent youth you would more likely be over it i would have thought and want someone your own age and been there done that perhaps? | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/3/2008 3:06:05 AM | Zesty, you're really limiting youself with the age thing..
And the pic really isn't flattering.. why not have another taken ?
and for the sport thing all I was trying to show you three reasons why a woman possibly wouldn't want to reply to you instead of you just labelling them all in a rather ungentlemanly way.
Back on topic.. I was going to meet a guy from here, and he cancelled it beforehand, so that didn't happen.. And I did meet a guy but he called me *sweetie* and *hun* and *cutie* on msn before we actually met and I was a bit like um... and didn't change my mind when we did..
I'm not worried if I find someone or not, the site keeps me entertained :) | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/3/2008 3:59:25 AM | No I'm not trying to relive me mis spent youth, you people don't read to well do you. I like to be the older person in the relatsionship because thats the way I was brought up.
I don't mind being only 2-4 years older then a woman, i just DON"T feel comfitable with a woman being older then me. And as for the 23 -37 year old age thing most women that age are looking to meet a man my age or older.
It seems the only women who have a problem with me wanting the 23-37 y.o are the over 40 somethings looking for a date with someone my age, why don't you start looking for men in your own age brackets.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

i think older women taking a younger man are trying to relive some miss spent youth My bf is 8 years younger than me. I am fairly sure I didn't misspend 8 years of my youth. Probably more like ten....I'd better trade him in on someone younger. 
most of the women i have meet that are older then me, have all had an issue with letting themselves go I've already stopped brushing my teeth and once I hit 40 I'm gonna give showering a miss too.

Onya Naamah. I haven't hadn't had a shower in 60 years and just loves them older, more experienced women. Trouble is, live milleniums is getting real hard to find.
Refer age note on profile. No better still, better not. | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/3/2008 2:47:44 PM | geez you guys............ only been on your own for 2 years, wait until you get like me and have hit the double figures - yep 11 years single - which is the same length of time i was married (boy time flies when you are having fun)! for the first 8 years, i didnt really want to date. my kids were more important to me and I wanted to see them through their early childhood and into their teens safely. so dating was out.
now, i go on a few dates, but it is not a priority for me. if it happens it happens. i am too busy working to have time, but i do make time when i feel it is worthwhile. it was all too easy to find work instead of dates, and that is kind of what i did. but have met some fantastic people and been some great places, been taken to perth, been taken to new zealand, dinners, weekends away etc etc - i count myself lucky coz i have put myself out there to explore the world outside the town i was born in/live in and to me that is the most exciting part of all!
oh and have a beautiful and gorgeous friend who is 33 - but yeah I know i have let myself go and am just an old hag, but god damn he is HOT!  | |
|
| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/3/2008 3:16:44 PM | The main reason I can think of is that I am not willing to tell everyone that I am in my early 30's when in actual fact I am 51.
if i were to lower my age I am sure that I would have requests for dates overflowing my POF mailbox........but I prefer to be honest
Ohhh a fair few guys look at my profile , i have had one guy writye from a place 3 1/2 hours drive from me but that's as far as it goes.
I think the men in my area are interested in arm candy and ego boosters and honestly, I am neither.............. | |
|
| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/4/2008 6:54:30 PM | Dating is not a high priority for me. My profile set to either friends or hanging out which is exactly what it means but often gets misinterpreted. Meeting new people is enjoyable, especially ones with similar interests. I guess I’m just a social person.
I don’t date or meet many people from POF because I don’t message many people because of the low reply rate. (Unless I find their profile particularly interesting.) But, like a good fisherman, I dangle my line in the water and see if anyone finds my profile interesting enough to contact me.
A couple of ladies have, but then did the ‘short attention span’ trick. (Maybe it was something I said???) Who knows. Life’s too short to get hung up about it.
Will probably go to a POF social event eventually.

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/4/2008 7:04:21 PM | And a single guy in a bar is not a good thing to be, there is NEVER a single woman in a bar, you all hunt in PACKS
hey Zesty.. sorry to bust your balloon mate,, but since being single and moving to another state, hence a small, if non-exsistant social circle, I regarly go to clubs, pubs, restaurants etc,, either alone or by myself or with my daughter( daughter not into clubs lol, just restaurant!)- You have come across to me thru your posts as a person who is just not happy with yourself,,, and if you are not happy within yourself how the hell can anyone else be happy with you!? stop trying too hard !!!, start liking yourself, start putting some positive vibes out , cause once you start liking yourself for what you are, so will other people and then ypou will start meeting some people. | |
|
| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/5/2008 5:32:33 AM | Well I certainly date, been on heaps of them, made some good friends met some really strange people, some were flatout liars cause they lied about their age, pics are usually old....like ten years old.
I dont know why I read on here that so many are not dating, who gives a hoot if there is no spark, and since when has here been spark straightaway in any event.....cant help but think that some people live in a fantasy land....have I ever looked at a woman and gone wow....of course!!!! but then go talk to SOME of them and the WOW soon disappears...who or whatever made us sure made women better to look at than men smell nicer too As far as dating goes perhaps some are being unrealistic in their expectations of who they are meeting????? and whats wrong with good company, good conversation and a new friend for heavens sake get out there...ask for a date...women who think that the only thing men want is a Quick r..t forget them they wont make good partners anyway because they are still in the "hate" men zone.... Now I know I am gunna get it for that statement so bring it on girls, shoot and I am going on the longweekend trip, be interesting to see who still talks to me after this post Cheers Losenut | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/5/2008 11:58:55 AM | I agree with most of what you said Losenut ,Life is too short .Get out and enjoy yourself .Some of my best mates are ugly PMSL But I love 'em all . | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/5/2008 9:40:12 PM | | You sound like a pretty lonely guy - not fun I'm sure. Maybe you just live in the wrong place, my friend. Where I live the women would love to meet someone exactly like you. | |
|
| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/5/2008 11:40:02 PM | just thinkin about it, if akk guys want is a quick r..t they wont waste their time n here, seriously, if your nat dating your sure as hell not doin the other Debnco whats all them letters mean excuse my ignorance doh | |
|
| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/6/2008 4:49:26 AM | caramel....................not that i'm not happy...............just lost all faith in my ability to make the frist move to go up and start a converstion............i have lost all self esteem and self converdence in my self..............i have aways been put down at school.... been put down in my working life..................been told i am ugly as ****..................... and the more i get knocked back the more i close up................... i send women a flirt or a wink or a kiss msg................i get no replys so that just comfrims it for me that i am just not good enough to be seen in public with...............and as you may be aware we are all on different dating sites to try our luck, but by some of the forums i have read most women get so many msg's and flirts that you just start deleting most of the ones you don't like the look of, plus women are out numberd 400 to one so what kind of a shot dose an ugly **** like me have of ever finding a date or even true love for that fact.
as for going to a bar alone as a single guy, with the amount of bashings that go on in them and the number of men killed, or left brain dead, or have to live out the rest of thier lifes in wheelchairs, all for wanting to go out and find a mate or partner, or a person to send the rest of your lives together. as a single man going into abar who the hell am i going to talk to, i have been to over 28's bars back in melb and i still walked out of there alone and poorer for the effort.................and as some of the women on here have told me i dont look any good in my pics and i am not what thier looking for..........and some have said in the forums that i don't sound happy so what left for me to do turn gay perhaps....................... | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/6/2008 5:01:39 AM | Jesus zesty.........do you not think that a lot of attracting a partner and getting dates is about attitude?
How do you think lots of butt ugly men have good looking chicks hanging off their arms? Its all about attitude. No one wants to go on a date and listen to some bloke crying into his beer all night. Seriously what you give out you get back and at the moment all you give out is resentment and dislike. Work on yourself and once you are in a better frame of mind you will receive it back.
I can't reply anymore cos I feel like im banging my head against something very, very hard and your attitude is enough to make me cry into my vodka!
I wish you the best. Remember, what goes around comes around and this goes for not only the people you despise but for you also! | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/6/2008 5:19:47 AM | Zesty - hilly has a good point - you need to give off good vibes, confidence is sexy and your attitude will be picked up by the opposite sex.
And talking about looks can someone tell me how someone like Mick Jagger pulls such good looking birds. OK I know he is a superstar, millionaire rockstar but come on he's got a face only a mother could love?
My point is I know, thousands of women would walk over hot coals for a date with him but others don't find him attractive at all. Look around you, is it only the 'beautiful' people that have partners? No. It's not just about your looks, it's about what you do for another person, how you make them feel, how you make them laugh etc. etc.
A lot of people on here have tried to give you advice and help without being too critical, take a step back, don't be so defensive, read it, think about it and make a promise to yourself that as from tomorrow you WILL start your new life.
Hope it works for you buddy. | |

| So why DON'T you go on a date????? Posted: 6/6/2008 5:39:24 AM | Zesty...chill out dude your scaring the natives...seriously mate I have taken out some absolutely stunning women during my life...and some who werent so stunning...guess what Pal I had a better time with the ones that you might consider average lookin...cause they had a farken personality...
imo there are two kinds of stunning females, thers ya they know their stunning and act like prinesses and then theres ya stunners but dont think they are...those ones you want to talk to...a lot of guys are scared to talk to stunning women...dont know why...
dont even think about how you look, just dress the best you can, like clean neat and tidy....make sure you wear nice aftershave, and dont skimp and buy the cheap shite, thats all I do and I aint no oil painting either....some days I look in the mirrior and go...no wheres he gone that bloke who use to look back at me...but I go out sometimes and I flirt with the best lookin women in the place, or whichever one responds ha ha who cares if some women says go away, she dont know me, or the kind of man I am so who cares what she says.... just shrug mate and move on to the next one.
If you saw some of the men that I have seen women hang around with here on the gold coast you would kill yourself laughing....man I have seen some very unattractive females in my time but men do the best unkempt looking fuggly I have ever seen, and then you see the real well dressed guy, good lookin fella with some raggy lookin thing...that you wouyld not consider asking out because she looks like she lives on the streets and doesnt comb her hair...
come dude...go for it what you got to lose...from the sound of it not much....go do a couple of courses or something like that to get your confidence back...set small goals and tick each one off...and go getem mate...they dont bite and the nasty ones you dont want to know anyway.... they are the men haters | |
