Some men say they are here looking for a long term relationship, but they are really here just to see how many women they can con!!! If you just want sex, ASK.If you want love, ASK,if you just want a friend ASK,,,,

I assume the question is why don't all men tell their true intent
If they are playing games how many replys would they get from 'I just want sex' ?
And if it is just a game to them what fun would it be if they declared their intent?
Unfortunatly we women have to troll through alot of crap to find the 'real' people as, I'm sure, the men do.
Personally it makes me smile as these muffin heads are usually fairly easy to weed out after awhile and are just left looking sad and pathetic...... unless of course thats what you are actually looking for

Maybe we should just change this section of the forums from "Ask a Guy" to "START BARKING ORDERS AT A GUY". Don't you all get enough of that out on the streets??

in our defense, women started the mind games first! :P but seriously, making lasting impressions on the opposite sex always starts with nothing. You can approach someone at a coffee shop and waste 10 minutes talking about the weather, which is just as meaningless as a profile. it's probably best to view anything they write in a profile as a segway into conversation. if they lie to you directly, and/or their correspondence lacks consistency, then you know their true nature.

call a guy on it next time, and ask him why he does it lol. that's probably your best bet.

Ok here goes ..........

First of all I agree! Men on here lie ALOT but so do women! It works boths ways.
But let me see if I can answer your question from a guys point of view.

Tons of men come to these sites because its easy first of all. They know that the majority of women that come on here are either young and nieve or they are coming out of bitter relationships or something long term and such and that in any case at least 95% of the ladies are actively LOOKING for something and hence the guys will LIE to basically get in good with the woman in order to get what they want. Which could be sex, money, a place to stay and the list goes on. I can actually read a profile and tell almost right away if the woman is easy or not and if I can take advantage of her and i'm sure many other guys who do it regularly are even better at it (for the record I DO NOT AND THINK ITS LOW). If a profile states something sexual even if its a joke the guy only sees SEX and he can't focus again - if the profile says anything in regards to being hurt in the past or used, and the kicker is always " this is my first time trying something like this" DEAD GIVEAWAY TO BEING LIED TO FOR SURE!

I'm not saying all guys on here are like this but I would have to say that at least 80-90% are! As for women, they know how to play their games as well so it can work both ways. As for who started it first as someone mentioned above ... Who cares? If you play games at all then you suck! PERIOD! It's rare to find the genuine deal anywhere, especially online! This among other reasons is why I only come here for the forums because sites such as these although they work occasionally, are bascially a haven for losers and users!

I have my own question. Are the rest of you women embarrassed that one of your own had to ask this question?

Sorry, it doesn't work.

Cons, lies, deceit, pretending to be something that you are not, and a whole lot of alcholol has a better chance of working.

It's not how you play the game, but wether you win or lose, that really counts.

"Maybe we should just change this section of the forums from 'Ask a Guy' to 'START BARKING ORDERS AT A GUY.' Don't you all get enough of that out on the streets??"

Okay, so I'm ignorant regarding quoting. My attorney's number is on my profile.

To answer, "apparently not" would be too obvious, woudn't it? Ever notice that wherever men are, collected as a group LONG before the women show up, univited, well, women DO show up and tongue-lash men just because they are exercising one of their constitutionally-guaranteed rights (of assembly)?

Believe it or not, ladies, sometimes men CAN have too much of a--gag--good thing.

Here are another few possible replacement titles for this thread:

1. Men, and the Women Who Still Think They Own Them
2. You've Said it Before and it Was Just As Poorly Thought-Out of a Non-Sequitur Then As It Is Now: Why Do You Think Anyone Actually WANTS to Listen?
3. Ask a Guy: The Last Frontier of Sexual Fascism
4. Ask a Guy: Just Return His Balls So He Can Technically BE a Guy Before You Get His Response

I love when I see stuff like this, it’s like all women/men are part of some secret club where they get together and make decisions/plans on how to act/date/think towards the opposite sex, it just f***ing ridiculous.

Plenty of women just like that here as well, just FYI...

Can I have all 3?

Lets start with friends, jump right to the sex and if the first two work we can hope for the third?

Sounds like what most people do anyways... whats so wrong with wanting sex... did you plan on having a friend and lover and get your sex someplace else?

Hmmm... this makes about as much sense as the people who put "no players" in their profile.
Like the liars are going to take one blind bit of notice anyway. :p

The honest people will be truthful.
The players and cheats won't.

If the players admitted they just wanted sex... they wouldn't be players anymore. :p

I'll bite, yes.

generalizations are never fair nor accurate.

Women are just as guilty....**I shake my head at people**

besides that, everyone knows the answer to the question.

x2

The point of this forum is to ask a guy a question. If you're going to get that angry about men trying to lie their way into your pants... you're going to have a rough life ahead of you.

Easy, OP.
a) Most guys believe that they would find it harder to get laid if they told the truth.
b) Most players only want a woman who doesn't want them. The challenge is seeing if he can get them to fall for it.

Simple.

This is such a cute message. My buddy Neil would probably start to cry laughter if he read it.

It's great to know there's still naive people in the world. You, tat2harleygirl, are the warm, pure light that the cold darkness of this world struggles against.

Because they can. Women do it as well, it's definitely not gender related.

I'll bite. Well, I'll wager that sex will come before the LTR can be even determined.
So, if a guy dates you and beds you, but later tells you he doesn't see a future with you was he lying?

By your standards "yes". So you can either become a born again virgin and face the music.(There's a thread about it somewhere) Or you be more selective about who you date, which is my guess at what the problem is.

If a man asks for love, females will run as fast as possible as many think it is needy.

If a man asks for sex, females will run because they think that's all he wants.

If a man asks to be friends, females think they are lying and after sex.

I just stopped looking. What am I after?
