Another Singles Awareness Day.... Feb 14th Posted: 2/6/2009 12:14:29 AM
Spending the 14th alone doesn't bother me, mainly because it's one of those holidays I never gave a damn about to begin with. I don't know, maybe women love the holiday more than men do or something, but I never found the appeal, even when I was in a relationship on that date. It ranks up there with New Years Eve on my list of holidays I'd rather spend at home.

OIL Getting there asses handed to them! Posted: 2/6/2009 12:12:20 AM
What's with the Pens? Either they need to make a trade NOW to bring in some secondary scoring, or Therrien's gotta be shown the door. I know they lost a lot off their roster from last year, but still, a team that went to the Cup finals and who can still boast Crosby, Malkin, and Staal, should not be on the outside of the playoffs looking in.

Another scary fighting incident in hockey... Posted: 2/6/2009 12:09:39 AM
I think more people should tune in to watch US College hockey. Fighting's not allowed there (well, it is, but you get a suspension or something, so fights are rare), but man oh man, the stick work is ridiculous. Just compare the stick work in NCAA hockey to that of the Junior leagues, which do allow fighting, and you'll see that the issue of fighting isn't so cut and dried as "hockey doesn't need fighting".

Chris Osgood...over rated??? Posted: 2/6/2009 12:06:39 AM
Osgood's one of those goalies who is the definition of "solid". He'll rarely steal you games (not saying never), but he'll rarely cost you games. He's a good goalie to have if you're a great team, because he's consistent. But he's not the type of goalie you'd want on a crappy team. That's why he has success in Detroit, but was pretty lousy everywhere else he's played.

Is it wrong to really not be attracting to less attractive women Posted: 1/27/2008 2:29:34 PM
nexthyme, that's exactly my point. I'm basically saying, who the hell am I to have such ridiculous standards? I know I shouldn't be looking at women who my friends have dated as "lowering my standards", because, quite frankly, they're very nice individuals. But my problem is, I do. That's why I commented. I wasn't trying to defend myself, I was pointing out how even I'm frustrated with how ridiculous my standards are, especially considering what I have to offer in return.

I've often wondered something similar for me. I know I'm never going to be one of those guys that enters a room, and all the females turn and gawk. Yet, I can't help but only find specific women attractive. I see some of the women my friends go out with, and I just don't find them attractive. Yet, I feel as though I should be lowering my standards, because otherwise I'll remain single. So, yeah, it's a dilemma that's really putting my social life in the crapper.

For the life of me, I have never understood why people have so much difficulty differentiating between when to use "your" and "you're", "there" and "their", etc. I think it's the anal part of me that gets annoyed, but come on! This is stuff we should have learned in grade school! So unless this forum now caters to the 13 and under crowd, this is pathetic. And, no, this doesn't really offer advice to the OP. But it's difficult to take someone's situation seriously when I'm wondering if they should even be allowed to have a curfew later than 8 pm on school nights.

why do men get so bent out of shape when a woman says no thanks? Posted: 1/23/2008 3:38:48 PM
To the OP, it sucks if men can't take rejection, especially when you're kind enough to at least reply and let them know. I respect women much more when they actually respond, even if it's to tell me that they're just not interested. I'd never bash them for it, and I'd have no hard feelings. edit: "I don't like the non-response option....I feel that is rude," Oh God, I love you. Too bad more women don't have your manners.

Should disabilities be listed on a profile? No. It's no one's business other than your own. A profile on here isn't meant to let other people know 100% about you. It's to give people a summary of what you're all about, and to see if that matches what they're looking for. Should you tell someone you've been conversing with, but haven't met yet, about your disabilities? Yes. Especially if you think this is a person you'd like to get to know offline.

Whats the best way to approach women in pubs/clubs? Posted: 1/15/2008 9:26:00 PM
Hold on, I have a different perspective. I partially agree with you. Drink specials, ladies night, atmosphere....those are to draw women in, yes. But trust me, those things are more for the men, than the women. Because if the women weren't there, the men wouldn't go either. And if the women are unresponsive, there's always alcohol, and it's less likely to let you down. Music and dancing, sure as hell aren't for the men. They're there to draw in women. Yet, there are always more men than women. (at least locally, I've never been to a bar where the women outnumber the men, or even come close to half.) Agree 100%. Every club owner/manager I've spoken to have indicated the reason for the "ladies' specials" is to entice the ladies to come BECAUSE that'll attract guys. A club will never (or at least rarely) offer specials to guys, because they know that that won't attract women. Whereas, a club full of women drinking for half price will definitely attract men to come out.

"When I am walking around at the mall, random guys come up to me and after they say hello the first question out of their mouths is "do you have a boyfriend?" It's seems to me that I have written across my forehead is "I want a boyfriend please come hit on me." I am really tired of it happening to me." Do you even realize how arrogant you're sounding? Maybe it's not your intention, but you make it sound like every time you're in public you're swarmed with hundreds upon hundreds of men, who will do anything just to be in your presence.

I have to admit, I've never asked a "stunning woman" out before. I tend to settle for girls that are decent looking, or "below", for fear of rejection. Maybe I should re-think this, if what the OP says is true.

Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 9/3/2007 1:46:25 PM
Now I am having a hard time seeing how the dating site is different than out in the real world. Basically the same thing goes on but here it is more magnified. I've found that women tend to be more friendly (or at least more courteous) to someone when they're face to face with them. Online, they can hide behind their monitor and not have to reject someone "to their face". Offline, even if they're not interested, it's a lot more difficult to look someone in the eye and be completely rude to them.

Rejection Posted: 9/3/2007 1:03:53 PM
Best advice I can give is, don't take this site seriously. It's not a "dating" site, it's a meat market. In this case, since guys out number the women by a large margin, the men are the meat, allowing the women their choice of the best cut. Also, the read/delete thing. It's common. Ask 100 men on this site if it happens to them, and 99 of them will say yes.

Has Internet dating made us too picky Posted: 9/3/2007 12:58:08 PM
NO men are MUCH more picky and expect a woman to walk off the pages of a magazine or a TV screen into their life. Women tend to be picky about character and lifestyle issues. They want to ensure the guy will be a good provider and good father. Men are concerned about packaging and rigidly fixed to a very specific look. Women are more flexible when it comes to packaging/ You have got to be kidding me. Have you SEEN the thousands of posts on here, where guys complain that women never even respond to their emails? They're not being rejected because they're not a "good provider and good father". It goes both ways. To suggest it doesn't is ridiculous. Edit: Heh, I should have read the entire thread. I didn't see your post right above mine until after I'd posted.

Guys who are obsessed with breasts have what is called a mother complex, whereby the breast reminds them of the time in their life when they were breast fed, when they felt the most secure and loved. Or maybe I'm making that up.

The Hypocrisy of Attraction Posted: 8/30/2007 6:39:26 PM
It's almost human nature to be a hypocrite. The guy who doesn't exercise, and sits around watching television all day, and has no job, wants an attractive woman. The woman who weighs 400 lbs, has zero education, and has the personality of a piece of snot, wants a guy with washboard abs, and Hollywood looks. It is laughable sometimes, when you see people who aren't all that desirable acting as though they're better than someone else who is, by all indications, "on their level". It's almost like it's a defense mechanism for some people. If they settled for someone in their league, then they're admitting they're below average. So if they set their sights for someone above their league, they're fooling themselves into thinking they're better looking/a better catch than they really are.

I never have checked out their forum posts. I suppose I should, but at the initial "meeting" portion, I don't see a point. If I send them a message, and they respond, then I'll take the time to learn a bit more about them. But if they're the type that will never respond to my messages anyway, why waste my time?

I can still party, but I've lost the urge for the bars/club scene nowadays. Before, all it would take would be a phone call from a friend, and I'd be out in no time. Now, my friends would have to practically drag me to the bar. I also don't recover as fast from a night of heavy drinking like I used to.

Are women marketable after age 30? Posted: 8/29/2007 9:52:08 PM
Some of the hottest women I know (or know of) are 30+. Of course, most of them are Hollywood actresses. But there are quite a few "friends" who fit the category. I think the main issue most have, and why it appears guys aren't interested in 30+ women, is the fact that more often than not, they're either married, have kids, or both. Whereas younger women are typically thought to still be likely to be single. While that's not necessarily always the case, I think that's the perception, and thus why often times people assume guys are chasing after the 29 or younger crowd.

Why do men not ask a woman out in person? Posted: 8/29/2007 9:49:05 PM
I talk to girls all the time, but its mainly small talk, while I am working, But the same girls come into my work a couple times a week. Now if i get the courage to ask one of them out, and they say NO, the girl then probably feels a bit creeped out and wont come back. And on the same note, I'd feel pretty weird too having to deal with her if she did come back, knowing she said no, and is probably laughing about it with all her co-workers. This is why I make it a rule not to ask out women that work in places I know I'll frequent (ie. favorite restaurants, favorite stores), or women who frequent my place of work. Who am I kidding? I never ask anyone out. But if I did, this would be my rule.

To the OP, Rejection would be my first guess. Online, sure it sucks to get turned down, but it's a lot easier since you don't have to be face to face with the person when they rip your heart out. Plus, there is no one around gawking at you, making the rejection seem even worse. Offline, you not only have to be face to face with the woman when she rejects you, but also have to then try and slink away with as much pride and dignity as you have left, with her eyes, and the eyes of those around you (assuming you're in public) on you the entire time. Online rejection feels like a punch in the arm. Offline rejection feels like a kick in the nuts.

Has being online toughened you up emotionally or made you more sensitive? Posted: 8/29/2007 12:02:06 PM
Being online has made me realize that dealing with people in everyday life suddenly isn't so bad. Being online has made me realize that people online make people offline seem like angels, and seem like the sweetest people ever. Being online has made me realize that giving individuals the opportunity to hide behind a computer monitor is a bad thing, since apparently it allows them to completely disregard any sense of human decency they might otherwise have had. Being online has opened my eyes to just how fake people can be, and see what deep, dark secrets they let loose on an electronic medium, that they'd otherwise not show in person.

Hockey anyone? Posted: 8/28/2007 2:11:24 PM
Unless the Pens win the Cup within the next two seasons, you'd be surprised. Malkin and Staal's entry level contracts are up in two years, and they won't be making only the $850k or less that they're making now. Look at the jump in Sid's deal. He went from $850 this upcoming season, to what, $9 million the following? So yeah, the only way the Pens become a "dynasty" is if they start winning the Cup now. Ps. I'm not sure if you were the one that mentioned dynasty, but it was mentioned in this thread, and thus why I commented on it.

I'm single, because I'm not at a place where I want to date casually, nor am I at a place where I feel I can support the kind of long term relationship I want to be in. It's a Catch-22 of my own doing, really. That, and the fact that single women in this city are either a lot younger than me (23 and under), or are single moms. And I can't deal with dating a girl who has a child that's not my own.

Hockey anyone? Posted: 8/28/2007 10:48:49 AM
The Pens are still a rock-solid stay at home defenseman or two away from being legitimate Cup contenders. They have the raw talent up front, and guys like Whitney and Gonchar can supply offense from the back end. But until they have guys that can do the job in their own zone, they won't win. And that's when cap issues come into play. Sure, with their current roster, they're fine right now. But can they afford to add a Jay McKee or a Willie Mitchell or an Adam Foote, on top of their existing salaries?

Hockey anyone? Posted: 8/27/2007 6:03:06 PM
@crownie-- the pens are in good shape cap wise and should be for a while. Not likely. Malkin and Staal are still under the rookie cap of 850k per season for the next two seasons. after that, they'll be making upwards of 4 or 5 million (or more, if the Vanek deal is an indication). Pittsburgh won't be able to afford them when guys like Crosby, Staal, Malkin, Whitney, Fleury, etc. are all in their prime (ages 27 to 32). Just look at the Senators, having to let Chara go when both he and Redden were up for UFA, and having to let Havlat walk because he wanted money they couldn't afford to pay him.

The only thing that's overwhelming on this site, is the lack of responses to messages. But other than that, I think people need to stop rushing into things. It's like, as soon as they meet someone they sort of connect with, they feel as though they should throw caution to the wind, and go for it. Then a couple of weeks later they'll come on here again, and detail how they got screwed over, and how the person they thought was sweet and caring turned out to be a real jerk. Surprising, eh?

Just wanted to go on record to say that the Pittsburgh Penguins are the next Dynasty Team. I don't think the salary cap will allow them to be. I'm hopping on the Pens' bandwagon, mainly because Crosby impresses the hell out of me, and I don't have an existing team I cheer for. But I don't think they'll be able to keep their young talent long enough to establish themselves as a powerhouse, before having to dump salary, or let one or two guys go the free agent route due to cap issues.
