ladies, how much older would you date?
Posted: 4/22/2009 1:54:18 AM
Thanks for posting the question. I've found it very informative. My problem is( I guess its more a blessng than a problem) I look 5 to 10 years younger than I actually am. I am 35. And I can't get my head around dating anyone younger than 22 or 23. On the other hand, most women my own age that are still single seem to be looking for much older men or much younger men.

so, why are you still single?
Posted: 4/22/2009 1:32:54 AM
I am also 35. I have also never been married. And yes, I also have a lot of people that wonder how that happened. Came close a couple of times, it just didn't work out. No, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Yes, I agree that many people think there must be something wrong with you if you couldn't have found a life mate by now. Look at it this way. We may have avoided the mistakes made by all those divorced people that got married in thier late teens or early twenties and then changed.

what is everyones opin on tattoos?
Posted: 4/22/2009 1:28:25 AM
I like tattoos. I like women without tattoos as well, but I do think the right tattoos can be sexy. I've dated women with none and others who had several. I have one and I don't like it because it didn't turn out well. But I may get others someday. To me a tattoo says " I am comfortable with myself and expressing myself. " Usually, that is. Lately it just seems like a trend and so many are so similar that it isn't a statement of individuality anymore.

Seeking advice on how to talk to women
Posted: 4/22/2009 1:22:34 AM
OK buddy,
Socrates once said that the only true knowledge is in knowing that you know nothing. In this case, I would take that to heart. What I mean by that is that I would ignore most of the responses to this post that didn't come from females. No offense to my fellows out there. But lets be honest guys. If any of us were really good at talking to women, we probably wouldn't be here. Right? Listen to the ladies brother.

Do you believe a man of today, still understands the true meaning of romance?

I would not agree with that statement about men as a whole. I will admit that, as time goes on, romance usually takes a back burner. I think its that way on both sides. Men could be more creative to make their women feel special in little ways, and there is a lot of advice on the subject available out there if you look for it. But women stop worrying about making thier men feel special too. I will allow you that we don't always feel like stopping on the way home to buy you flowers if you will allow me that the sexy teddy you wore when we first started dating is just too much trouble and less comfortable than the pj's you wear to bed these days. All I'm saying is it takes some effort on both sides to make romance last. And you ladies can be just as lazy about it as us guys can.

Thanks again Herding Cats and Iconoclast. Again very helpful. I guess its easy to make snide comments about someone else's honest questions when your thin and pretty and probably always have been. Of course now that your older and not so thin and pretty as you once were, they guys that used to fall at your feet in adoration see that your just a smartass **** and don't want to have anything to do with you. Which brings you here in your mid 40's desperately looking for some of your former glory.

Actually I'm kind of an ***hole, not the type the girls like, but one in my own right.I wrote a little piece explaining my perspective on that. But I wanted to thank you for your constructive answer. That really was very helpful.

Thanks Herding Cats and all the rest of you for your " constructive" responses. That thread really wasn't so much about me as I happened to think about it while I was surfing the site. . I just spent 2 hours on the phone with a female friend of mine a couple of days ago who has taken back the same loser 3 times now. This guy has cheated on her, run up credit card bills etc. And i know lots of guys who would love to take her out (And No, I'm not one of them). They aren't all tall and handsome, but some of them are and they are all pretty good guys. But she doesn't want them ,she wants him. So I thought I would get the female perspective on this. OK maybe I got a little carried away at the end there, sorry.
But can any of you actually answer the question? I mean attacks on my charecter and personal afronts are welcome too. But I really would like a little honest perspective on this.

If you don't have any of that on your profile, then I wasn't talking to you. And your right. I care about looks. I'm just saying be honest about it. And don't complain about dishonest men if your not going to be honest yourself

What signs do you give a guy to show interest?
Posted: 3/8/2009 9:30:00 PM
Sorry, not a woman, but I had to chime in on this one. I see a lot of posts from women that have said"I just tell him I'm interested. " OK, If I was the type of guy that did really well with women in social settings, I wouldn't be here. Would I? So I can't say that this is untrue from my own personal experience. However, I have lots of guy and girl friends. I know quite a few guys that do have that kind of success with women that I wish I had. But even with all the tales I have heard from them, none of them has ever experienced a woman that was forward enough to just tell him that she liked him and go from there. I have also never seen it happen to anyone in a bar or other social setting. I don't know where all these posters to your question live, but I'm guessing its not on the same planet that you and I live on.
Of course, I'm sure all these women are being completely honest with you. I'm also sure that looks and money don't matter to any of them and they are all just looking for nice, honest guys that can make them laugh.

Alright Ladies,
This is only the second time I've tried internet dating(didn't go well the first time), and it's the first time I've been to this site. Now, I have been reviewing profiles and pictures looking for someone I might like. I keep seeing the same things over and over again. See if this sounds familiar
No liars please.
No players please( what is a player anyway?)
No game players and/or drama ( is this the same as a regular player?)
I want someone real.
I have two points to make.
1. What makes you think that a liar will stop lying( or player stop playing) just because you ask him/her to? Don't you think the guys that are looking at your profile assume that you don't want to be lied to or toyed with?
2. Why can't you be honest with us too?
You see I grew up in a house full of women. I heard all about what women tell everyone that they want. However, I also saw what they fell for over and over again. I would wager that most of the women who have posted the afore mentioned comments have done so because they have already fallen for that loser ( in one form or another) at least a 1/2 dozen times.

Sure, I'll treat you right and be compassionate and caring. Because looks and money don't really matter to you. Right? All you're looking for is a nice, honest guy who can make you laugh. Right? Sure you are princess. Sure you are.
