Serenex, what about girls who demand a sense of humour...does that ever make you feel as if you have to sort of become responsible for 'entertaining' them or something? What about your response to things like bubbly, crazy, whacky, zany, life of the party...if someone describes themselves like that, what does that make you think? I'll think of some more I've seen and get back to you. Very curious about how this sort of stuff comes across to blokes.

Now here's a good subject, wow what I could write about this.

Firstly, average size, (fat), a few extra pounds (obese) trying to give up smoking, ( chain smoker). My family means everything to me, (your just gonna be a crutch to lean on when I decide I need you). A friend first and then lets see what happens, (I'm not going to change so I want to find out if you fit where I want you to). Open minded, (but I'm not moving or changing). Let's have coffee and see where it leads, (in a cake shop, you pay, I'll eat the whole time). I have many interests, (food shopping, food, shopping, my kids, shopping, the mirror, shopping, food). I need my personal space, (Ill call when the kids have had enough of my meddling and I need a shoulder to cry on). Someone who hasn't any baggage, (but I'm bringing all mine and my kids and my families with me).

As for good things women say in their profile, if I found one, I'd be with her.

The above posts are all personal experiences

Thanks for the heads up guys..lol

I just had to go and see what I had written on my profile.
Took out "A man that can make me laugh" I guess I don't really want a clown.. but someone who GETS you does make you laugh.

Seems like you've had plenty of experience Stormy
One of my personal favourites "accept me as I am or Fark off" It's so endearing & attractive.
"Not afraid to show his emotion"s, careful what u wish for girls.
As mentioned previously the"knight in shinning armor" & matching dragon set.
Profile names are the 1st sign of trouble, if your a "princess" I'll give you the royal go by.
Gym Junkies.... just too darn scarey.


A man that can make me laugh
Good thinking Chrissy... I always think of Krusty the Clown when I read this one, he's single.

Well said storm bay, it's never just straight forward.......sick of having to dissect profiles to find out what they're really about......even worse if they don't have a pic

Nah cobber, just read lots of profiles and you find out the truth when you contact them. You could say some are disappointed with me, as I'm just like what my profile says, yet for some reason they don't read it, except for the bits that read, retired, large boat, travel, not the music, adventure, diet or a conscious eternity.

As for being cynical, how about realistic. Most people have profiles because they are looking for something, but they always seem to look in the same places and for the same things that have failed in the past for them. Seems rather illogical and irrational to me. There's no way I'm looking for what I had in the past, it failed. That's why I live far away from my kids and family. I want difference in a relationship, to develop between us without interference form anyone. But most women want more of the same, so they can get what they think they want or continue to develop their victim, why me mentality.

I just can't understand how people can want to control; or be a part of their off springs lives, when the world is out there to be seen and experienced in many different and responsible ways. They say they won't relocate, yet they say they don't want the same problems from their past. How logical is it, to not want former problems, yet stay right where those problems occurred. Not very intelligent at all, or maybe I'm missing out on the drudgery of inter family conflict and drama, maybe one should sit down and become a slave to mediocrity. Well maybe someone else, but not me. I've had it with mediocrity and boring repetitive days, with women watching soapies, going to the shops, smothering their kids and never letting them have a life free from parental interference. But then again, maybe women don't know how to have a life and fun. Think I'm prattling on a bit today, must have been that trip to Hobart yesterday and I got poisoned by the overbearing stink of people and their body junk.

I just don't know...can't work you guys out. What if us women...do actually enjoy our lives, can be around our kids without smothering them and generally I always thought that failed relationships were made up of a combination of good, not so good and everything in between memories and experiences...mine are anyway. We don't have to run away or relocate to move on from the past...just enjoy life.
Failed relationships don't necessarily equate to misery, bad feelings, giving up, etc...

*must have been that trip to Hobart yesterday and I got poisoned by the overbearing stink of people and their body junk... maybe you just don't like being around people very much, and prefer your own company. Lots of people out there are actually nice ...if that's what you expect them to be, that is.

Stormbay, i truly hope you find what you are looking for.How sad it would be to have distanced yourself from your family and children only to never find that "missing piece". I just fear that women who are prepared to put their families and children on the backburner in pursuit of a relationship are possibly very few and far between.
Best of luck

Does that mean you think I'm trouble???

I actually chose my profile name because I was taking the mickey out of myself... someone at work calls me Queen Victoria behind my back... so I thought, bugger that I'll use it online.

Present company excepted O Queen, I'm sure. You seem very far from being a Princess type female - and unlike your namesake, are often amused too!

Dear MissV, I have no trouble with queens generally, although, in my more youthful days, I had quite a few unsolicited propositions by a queen or two.

Hey Serenex, I take offence to that...

Now, what I need to know from you guys is... when you put what you are looking for "long term" why is it that so many twats who are not looking for that send messages?

Actually I like being around people and have lots around me. I just can't stand the smells, noise and pollution of cities and large towns. Make up and perfumes make me sick, I prefer natural women, not made up phonies.

If women are happy clinging to their pasts, why do they seek a man. It's obvious they don't want to share a life of change and adventure, just more of the same, so why do they ask for someone who has their own life and hasn't become a stick in the mud. Are they just wanting to watch from the shop and their kids houses and when they get bored, they need a man to boost their boring lives.

As for their being very few women who want what I describe, I don't believe that. I have met and know lots from my travels, but they are with men and are having a ball, without their family and kids. Shouldn't life be about change, shouldn't it be that when you have walked the path of the norm, completed you enslavement to economic stupidity, that you have the right and ability to explore the world and attain a real meaningful secure and trusting relationship, rather than repeat boring on going drama and repetitiveness.

After all, when you get to the age where you are of no use to your kids and a burden, they throw you into a nursing home and you just wither and die. Look at the make-up of nursing homes, 90% withered old women. The men are either still out there doing something, or have died from boredom, or an enjoyable adventurous life. Who wants to end up in a nursing home dribbling away, full of medication and collapsing body, seems like most women want that.

It doesn't take any courage or brains to do nothing, which may be the reason for why most women are the way they are. Just a pity there aren't enough real women to go around, just lots of shopping clones. Before you jump and dump on me, I feel the same way about a lot of men around my age, boring old farts. Men want a women to share their life and new experiences, women want a man to support their drama and shopping bills.

Queeny, there are morons in both genders, it may even be the majority. After all women bring up children. For me long term, means conscious eternity, however long that is.

What I like is a woman who exudes confidence and has many interests. I also like when a woman talks about what she has to give in a relationship and not focus solely on what she wants. They all acknowledge it's a two-way street but it's amazing the lack of women who actually understand what this contains. Just because you are born a woman doesn't make you exempt from understanding his needs and wants. I also like a bit of intimate aggression.

What I dislike is women (or shall I say girls) who use phrases like "you should get to know me because I'm fun." What makes you so fun? Or "I want someone who doesn't play games." Newsflash....most guys shoot straight and to the point. What he says is truly what he means. And if he says something that really offends you, if he's any bit of a man, he will offer a sincere apology.

And another one...."I can't think of anything else so write me if you have any questions." It seems women are becoming more and more boring to engage in conversation with and unsure of who they are. With all the talk in forums about them not wanting men to look at them for sexual gratification or judge them on their looks, you would think they would have a stimulating, opinionated, respectful personality. I've said it many times to people I've talked to over the years....if a woman (or man) wants a partner to see him/her for something other than looks, HAVE something to engage in besides what meets the eye.
