What does it mean when a women says she occasionally smokes?
Posted: 9/14/2009 6:09:22 PM
Occasionally means occasionally.

Nothing wrong with the odd cigar.

What is it that women REALLY want from a guy?
Posted: 9/6/2009 6:00:43 PM
Ah, the age old question: what do women want?

I'm afraid that a lot of us don't want the same thing. What seems nice and stable to one is boring to another. What seems fun and exciting to another, seems boorish and immature.

You're a good-looking guy with a very pleasant personality. I suggest you simply continue to search for women with a similar outlooks, dispositions and interests.

Would you leave a relationship because you wanted marriage and your SO didn't?
Posted: 9/6/2009 12:56:24 PM
Yes, marriage and children are my ultimate goal and I would leave my SO if he wouldn't take the step, no matter how much I loved him.

A lot of people will scoff and say that it's 'just a piece of paper'. And while that's true, it's a very IMPORTANT piece of paper that offers a lot of financial and legal benefits.

As for divorce, unless my husband was acting hostile towards me and the children, I would do my best to ride it out. Every relationship goes through it's rough patches - I've known a lot of couples that stayed together despite a few difficult years and they appear to be better off for it.

Been cheated on

You should flesh out what constitutes 'a little rocky'. People generally don't freak out when a relationship is 'a little' rocky - only when there is a significant problem.

And perhaps start dating women with more in the morality department.

Persistance can wear a girl down til she gives in - Does it work for guys?
Posted: 9/4/2009 1:26:08 PM
Stalking is never a good idea, caramel.

The whole concept of 'wearing someone down' is incredibly creepy, I might add.

first date - nerves, clothes and banter
Posted: 9/3/2009 3:39:31 PM
A genuine smile always put me at ease.

As for what the gentleman wears, generally anything goes as long as it's clean and age-appropriate. Backwards baseball caps and cargo shorts ten sizes too big make a man look like a 12 year old kid.

Sure, everyone likes to laugh. But I'd go easy on the jokes and not try to force humour where it doesn't come naturally.

Women picking a fight
Posted: 8/29/2009 6:09:20 PM
Gosh, I had a roommate like this. Would constantly pick fights with her men to make their relationship more 'fiery' and 'exciting'.

Personally, I prefer to pick my battles and will usually agree to disagree in a relationship unless it's something major.

While this is almost certainly a troll post (my hat off to you, sir), there is NOTHING wrong with saying you don't want a relationship. That's not mean - that's honest.

Oprah's trip to the Bunny Ranch
Posted: 8/29/2009 2:04:47 PM
I'm definitely for the decriminalization (not necessarily regulation) of prostitution.

I believe prostitutes should at least have the right to safer working conditions. The current situation in Canada prevents them from working out of their homes or establishments, where they are probably a lot less likely to be battered, robbed or murdered.

As for the poster who equated call-girls with rapists - how ridiculous. I've yet to hear of a hooker putting a gun to a man's head, forcibly give him a handjob and then shell out $50.

....Non-consentually, anyway.

Seriously, is there any disarming/non-creepy way...
Posted: 8/29/2009 1:54:41 PM
I think you can definitely do it. Just start with 'Hi, I noticed you in the 'viewed me' section and found the blah-blah-blah part of your profile very interesting...I, too, ahev an appreciation for yadda-yadda-yadda-...'

Or, you could always pretend not to have noticed and write your usual introducy spiel.


I don't know how YOU did it, but the people who wrote me after I viewed them ranged from defensive ("Why look at me and then not say anything?") to trying to be cute ("Aha! Caught you looking!").


See, I *would* think the latter was a cute comment.

Call me unromantic, but I don't believe in soulmates.

Fact is, there are many people on this planet that would make a good match for an individual. Love is a wonderful but common emotion- one that we are capable of feeling for many different people throughout our lives.

Atheism in the South... dating suicide?

I wouldn't necessarily blame it on your atheism, unless you have been writing to solely religious women. What did they put under spiritual beliefs?

Unfortunately, a small number of replies is perfectly normal for most fishers.

What does a younger woman (below 25) look for in an older man (over 30)?
Posted: 8/18/2009 7:22:39 PM
Oh, dear. Older men.

To be perfectly honest, too wide of an age gap tends to cause problems in a relationship (generational differences in hobbies and interests, the younger is still content to sow their wild oats while the other wants to settle down, etc). And I've often ( but not always) found older men to be ever-so-slightly patronizing in their conversations with me. The whole 'well, when I was your age' thing, you know.

May I ask what motivates you in your search for a younger woman? Youthfulness hardly guarantees that you would be the 'main' relationship in their life.

How much does dressing well matter?
Posted: 8/17/2009 6:33:53 PM
Your friend is absolutely right.

It is a tremendous turn off for me if a man is dressed either like a 12-year-old (backward baseball caps, baggy cargo shorts and t-shirts) or a thug (backward baseball caps...wait a second...)

You can't really go wrong if you wear clean clothes that actually fit you. And everyone should go easier on the logo tees.

what do you do when your wife is no longer interested in sex?
Posted: 8/16/2009 7:29:17 PM

I see it as part of the commitment of being married. I keep trying to explain to her, "you married a man, baby"


And while you may be *right*, that's NOT the way to romance a woman.

Have you bought her flowers lately? Told her how lovely she is? Took her out for a night on the town?

Another thing, have you taken care of yourself? Women can be visual creatures, too.

If you've made a conscious effort to make her feel desired and none of that has worked, I suggest marital counseling to help her overcome her hangups.

Does honesty hurt more than just dissapearing?
Posted: 8/16/2009 1:17:48 PM
Honestly is definitely better than disappearing. Disappearing or acting cold just keeps the other person in limbo for longer.

Look at it this way: if you had to have a limb amputated would you prefer a quick chop or it to be sloooooowly sawed through with a rusty blade?

Should I dump her? Can I change her outlook?
Posted: 8/16/2009 11:46:23 AM
No, you will not be able to change her, OP.
Men and women have been attempting to do this for millennia and it has yet to work.

You might as well dump her. Do you really want to keep her for around as 'a female friend to give you a balanced perspective'? It sounds like a strange reason to keep a girlfriend.

First of all, I'm really sorry that happened to you. I think male victims of sexual abuse and assault may have an even harder time coping than their female counterparts due to social stigma.

Yes, I would definitely stand by my man if he had experienced the same. Any decent woman worth her salt would do the same.

Posted: 8/9/2009 9:07:49 AM
Could be a lot of things:

a) she's agreed to go steady with one of the others guys she's been dating.
b) she got back together with the ex.
c) she decided she's not interested enough to go on that date after all or a more promising man asked her out.
d) she's worried her SO will catch her.

*headdesk*

I can't believe people get so worked up over what their (partners') genitals look like. Of all the shallow, nit-picky things to worry about...

That said, ladies/gentleman, if your partner rejects you over something so absurd, clearly you don't want to be involved with them anyway.

I believe too much familiarity breeds contempt and that it's better for both partners to have enough time pursuing their own hobbies/interests.

Honey, you need to stop taking advantage of this man and break things off. It's not fair to him OR you. And in the future, you need to find a masculine man with a few common interests if you ever expect to be happy.

These aren't angry because men are being honest - they're frustrated because they want more and the man they like doesn't. Simple as that.

And no, lying wouldn't help either. No one wants the person they think is exclusive to them running around behind their back.

My woman told me that when she's not interested in getting involved in any social conversations with men, she usually avoids eye contact and goes about her business.

I usually don't make idle chit-chat with men I don't find attractive either. Well, unless they're some sort of authority on subjects I'm interested in.

Why is the only alternative to sitting at home going out with a date? Did your friends all happen to up and vanish?

Honey, you have to move on.

If a man's family hates you, you have NO future together. If a couple in your situations gets married, they almost always end up getting a divorce. Especially if there's an issue in religion.

You're very young. You have plenty of time to find a good man.
