How do you get a woman to talk?
Posted:
9/13/2009 7:59:51 AM
Question....why are you just endless;y messaging these girls ? If one takes your fancy actually tal to her...phone her....or even better meet up.
Message ping pong is BORING ! Oh, and you wont really ever get to know her unless you do it face to face.
Good luck

Posted:

We are human arent we...and as sick as I feel saying it mate your gonna get overlooked due to this. It will be a seriously amazingly caring and wonderful women who sees past that in you. Your not some form of evil, or are you wrong....but the human condition is the one here that causes this problem, and not your own medical one.
I really feel for you fella. Most of us just worry about looks etc....but you have the minerals to step up and be yourself....that my friend I respect you for greatly.
So...if you chat them up and they abscond once you tell them...well...they where never worth it in the first place huh ??
Good luck mate....for you I really do offer it, as your a decent and genuine guy !

What's the best way to make sure girls don't get hurt?
Posted:
9/13/2009 7:51:10 AM
Oh man....you are so screwed ! Sorry to be so blunt, but really you are. No women in their right mind will become part of this familly. It is great you have such a good relationship with the kids mum, and her lover. But mate.....a women who walks in to see two birds kissing on the couch and your kids running round will be in the next country by the time you have got to 'H' in 'Hello'.
Do your self a favour, re-evaluate what you want in life. If its to live with two women that will never let you into their bedroom, but have you as their surrogate male...then enjoy what you have....if not, you need to think about moving out !

Women what do you use to attract?
Posted:
9/13/2009 7:43:38 AM
Well I can safely say a women who is displaying her chest in her primary photo is a be no no to me. No..before you say it im not gay haha....I do like boobs.....but when its a tad more appropriate.
I have always found women who have a decent smile pic....where they are looking at the camera, and some of them doing things they enjoy always seem to work well, especially if it marries up with their text about themself.
Oh...and a pic of you in skimpy undies.....no no no.....your doing it wrong...thats a whole heap of FAIL ! As is the following
Your profile just saying "Im amazing....find out more by asking me" - errr...no, if your amazing tell me how....only im not sufficiently amazed to say hello yet
Your profle complaining of past loves "I dont want to be treated like that again" - yes, I agree, in fact I agree whole heartedly....but come on....do you think we are ALL the same...we aren't...and brushes with tar and feathers on are very hard to conceal
You mention in your profile that "I love to go out and drink on Saturday night...i am the living sole of the party" - cool, its great you like a laugh...but you sound now like you drink to excess...its fun to do once in a while...but for you its regemental...guys dont want to go out with a girl who is blasted every saturday night...or any particular night to that end.
Maybe me being picky.....but hey just my observations....im sure us guys do exactly the same as above...and you girls are equally as unimpressed ;o)

Interpret this scenario
Posted:
9/6/2009 12:19:32 PM
Please accept my apologies all for my coming bluntness
Mate, she wants to F8ck you and 2 other guys. She doesnt live near you = she can do what she likes when she likes with 2 other guys. Likyhood is she is playing between all 3 of you, likely telling you all different stories.
Now, what you need to do next is blow her off, totally. Any women that is dating more than you meens she hasnt decided, and to be fair how long do you want to wait to see if it is or isnt you ? this also goes for those guys to who 'multi-date'.
Personaly if a women asks me out on a date, I will keep my date with her, and not take any other until that date is dusted and we know if date 2 is coming. thats mainly out of respect for her, and for me.
At the end of the day its your call, you seem to already know the answer, but I have a feeling you came here to just get it agreed with ;O)
Good luck though.....and for gods sake make sure you wear a rubber !!!!

What would a women say is a message that stands out
Posted:
9/6/2009 12:09:01 PM
OK, lets be constructive. What stands out, mainly your profile and picture. Even when sending a message I have seen it on here mentioned time over that most women will go direct to profile, read it and not even open your message. If they like the profile, they open the message, if not bang and its gone.
I will say though thank to those that have read my messages at least. So far I haven’t had any unread/deleted tags so not bad in my book, but yeh still no replies so mate don’t be put off.
Your not doing things wrong, its simply they are not interested in you. I’m not being negative. Its pure fact. However, one will come along that is interested and you will end up getting the reply your looking for.
To be fair no magic ingredient of words will ever get a women to reply if she just don’t fancy who you are enough.

What is Attractive?
Posted:
9/5/2009 8:30:50 AM
Oh f&ck then, if symmetry is what girls look for im shot then (got my jar smashed playing american football, and no my smile is cruked)
what one of us finds attractive, another might not. A good friend of mine has been 'trying' to get me to chat up women while we have been out, he's a good mate and just trying to help me out so dont knock his attempts. However he does sometimes point out girls i just think 'naaaa' to.
We are all so different.

Whats up with girls that have been on here for years?
Posted:
9/5/2009 8:27:45 AM
Yeh, ive seen the same. And hey ive just tried to chat to a few, not hit on them at all, and no, they still dont reply.
Am I bothered - no. Because if you want to be anal about it then you could say "well, if your still here, im doing ok then huh"
However - you need to also understand like the rest of us they may get into a relationship and it go arse over tit, or they may trully just be looking to open their social circle (and im not talking about their legs, im talking about friends).
So, stop worrying about everyone else, worry about what your after, and all the emails that wont get replied to etc etc that the rest of us do hehe.

Am I being selfish???
Posted:
9/5/2009 8:17:05 AM
In all fairness mate, yeh you did allow this to happen, but in the same light she should expect after such a short time to be leaning on you.
On top of this, do you actually want someone who whines constantly ? Everyone has a bi*ch about life, we are human after all, so fairs fair. But if she is whinging constantly, imagine what it will be like if you kept dating her !!!
You need to say to her how you feel, if she gets shirty, you know thats just her, and your better off out that picture. If your not willing to actually have minerals and do something about it, then best not ask for advice and just take your medicine.
apologies for being harsh, ive been in a similar situation where i got told 'I' caused a girl to suffer depression....totally not true at all, she already had more issues than most magazines and had these before we met. I gave her way to much of me, and my time.
Learn from this, and either put ya foot down, or shake her off !

Dating frustration in your 30s?
Posted:
9/5/2009 8:11:00 AM
I hear your plight mate. Im in my 30's now. I have had a fair frew girlfriends in the past, but not from the old 'going on the pull' nights...no that I really go out for that anyway. Ive either met people off here or places like facebook. I guess, at our age in life we do have a few things going on. You can pretty much guarantee by your 30's people will have had :-
A long term relationship
children
Divorced
Just got to 'that' point in their career they wanted to achieve
Trouble is then your in a smallish group of folks who are looking to now find that person to spend life with again. Its like trying to get that exclusive CD only released 500 times, and you are 501 in the queue.
However, as much as I should take my own medicine we shouldnt give up. Personally I re-starting my life. Im trying to find new friends, both male and female, to go out with and socialise with. Why ? Because my friends i've had over the years are all starting to go in different directions. Where 10 years ago being single wouldnt have mattered much (as id be out most nights, if not every night, with my mates) they are now settled, doing the couple things ive done in the past, or bringing up a familly.
It does make it a bit sticky trying to find someone. I agree to, if i do go out, like I did last night, all the girls do seem alot younger. With me feeling a tad old I really dont have the minerals to go chat them up, after all for one of me there are 5 guys younger that im certain they would rather chat to. Again, dont meen im not confident, but hey lets face reality here people huh.
Id say right now try and build friendships more, and more than likely something will come from that. It may take time like one of the guys on here said (2 years was it) but hey, you can learn new things, make new friends, enjoy new experiences and all that will help when you meet 'her'.
I wish you luck fella.

What just happened? Long and strange story(Guys & girls please respond)
Posted:
9/3/2009 1:26:33 PM
Mate, dont panic, your not in the wrong here at all. It does sound strange how two women would jump on the same wagon, so to speak.
Id give them both a wide burth mate, delete the girl/s from facebook, yahoo etc. and then just enjoy whatelse comes along. May feel a bit arsey, but let it go, its dust now anyways.
Good luck with whoever finds you next

Does anyone understand
Posted:
9/3/2009 12:32:40 PM
Manwich-hasnoidea , now that should be your name. The fact you had to belittle this guy says alot about you, and not in a positive way at all. Do you wonder why women give guys a hard time, guys like you. Oh, and that fact you are STILL on a dating site, dont even think about giving harsh comments. Realising you have floors I think would put you in a grave.
Now...back to what this thread was about. Mate, dont worry so much. At the end of the day if you go out you will see, chat to and probably walk away from as many women as I do. Why ? Because we cant all be each others match. Yes, we have a little tick list going on in our heads as we approach someone...first do they look like someone i could fancy, how are they looking at me etc. Dont panic, and dont rush into someone is the big thing. Just browse up, say hello and just chat as though they are a friend, asking them how they are, break that ice.
From there my friend it is all about practice. You will learn what to say and what not to. Try and make sure you have something to talk about on your mind, but something thats quite general so they can have their input - and when they do make sure you listen. If its a tad loud where you are, slowly work your way in by asking her to kindly repeat herself, and as you close, dont pull away to far, kinda move in. If your getting to her you will know, as she will change her stance, but if she likes you, she will stay put.
go out, have fun, and most of all chalk everything up to experience. If you was a race car driver, do you think you would win every race, all the time, without having had a few crashes, or loads of practice ?

first date - nerves, clothes and banter
Posted:
9/3/2009 12:23:04 PM
Girls, thanks! These are great replies. Nikki - I totally agree, its all common sense, and in fairness costs nothing, but can have the biggest value of all.
So far I can tick most of that off my list of what im doing right at least ;o)
And I agree, it is very individual, so this thread is more a general "What would you like" than a definitive answers or guide ;oD

Big age difference
Posted:
9/3/2009 12:02:19 PM
sorry, i have to say when i read "manning up" i smiled, well done that women :D
And to answer you mate. You have been with her 5 years. You love her. Do you see yourself old with her ?? to be fair if you are having doubts i think clearly its noting to do with having kids. If you love someone and have been with them that long kids wouldnt be to much of a big deal, in fact I think they would be cool, and a way to increase the love you have for each other. I have a feeling you might be looking around and thinking "christ, im 20, and my mates are out doing this, and im not, and oh look at that bird who is closer my age".
Seriously, dont ruin her life or yours by making a daft decision based possibly on a feeling of missing out.

first date - nerves, clothes and banter
Posted:
9/3/2009 11:37:31 AM
OK, here is another one of my possers for you.
First date time. You are about to meet and you are nervous. What could a guy do to ease that nervousness in you straight away ? Is there perhaps something he could do, or say, that would make you feel betterm and more at ease ?
And when your getting dressed, what do you imagine the guy will be wearing ? Most of the time you dont really say will it be formal etc before you meet..its a bit of a greay area. So for you, what would a guy look best in the first time ?
As for having a laugh, do you think a guy should be very funny, possibly a little nutty (in a very nice way) to make you laugh the first time you meet ? Again, its one of those grey areas as perhaps you dont want him to accidently flick a prawn into someones glass, or have that tomatoe bounce off the plate at another table. so, how far should he go to make you smile ?
Thanks again girls !

Keep them coming girls, and thank you girls so far, they are some really good replies.
I know its such an open question, so many things you could want, or like. I guess its because I really like to make a women feel special, even if its the first time we have met. to make sure she is the one im concentrated on, and that she knows that (no not boggly eyes burning into her soul heheheh). I guess, over the years, I have come to realise there is so much you can do, but its actually doing it that counts. Ive learnt alot, and this is another of those questions where I could learn more from you girls.
I look forward to more replies, and thanks again XX

Now, im not talking about wow in the sense of extravigance, or material stuff. Im talking about the wow you get when you think "christ, he is good" ?
What is it that would make you feel like that, and I know we are all different, so feel free to say what you like.

try to be helpful huh, thanks !
I realise we have some ultra vain people on this site, in fact likely 70%, but for the other 30% it would be nice to entertain them with a half decent email.
i could have searched, but it wasnt on this page, and im sure the thread is so over run with replies you could make head or tail of it by now, so a new thread i started.

Un-Inventive Emails... Reply?

7/23/2009 11:05:08 AM
I get the feeling nothing will ever be right. It doesnt matter what you say. women are simply to picky, as im sure the guys are. The thing is its the same whatever you do, its all about looks....boring really huh.
Perhaps I should become a plastic surgeon and employ people from this site to tell me how people need their face changed, id make tonnes of money :D

In fairness fella, alot of women are on here....but ALOT more men are. Likely she was happy with you, and chatting to others to, and just found one better. Its not to say your a failure at all, but someone just had something you didnt. Put it down to good experience, you got 30 messages, some guys are lucky to get 1 !!

dont take it serious or you will end up feeling like a munter as most women dont reply, or brush past you. people are 'hyper-picky' on dating sites, searching for that one better, its like addication and gambling in a way.
take it for what it is, another strong to your dating bow, at some point your gonna take down something nice !

Yeh, like she said, give us a clue mate
BUT, dont worry. Im sure we have all found we go through days, weeks or months without a reply. Its because we are all to damn picky. Plus you need to get an angle, and fnding that angle aint easy. refer to my post about what do you want....lets see what replies come from that !!

why the hell are you even considering giving her a hug ! Man up fella, she is a total F***ing loser.
If anyone you spend time with, devote time to, hang out as a really good mates decides to do that to you....brush them off and quick. forget them, they are past.
And for gods sake, dont do the whole 2look at me, i have other friends thing" , in fact do nothing but be a normal mate to the ones who are your friend, and ignore the fact she is there. If she says hi, be pleasent, say hello, but nothing more.

what is it that will stand out to you ?
do you want just a hi, how are you, or a full blown 500 word eassay ?
do you want to know about him, or for him to ask about you ?

this is an easy reply.....its B*ll***. If someone hasnt been married it could simply be that they havent found the one. I have been married and divorced, im only 32 !! So, if someone has seen sense and not just married for the fun of it, or got into a relationship, married and it gone t*t* up....why should they be given grief about it ?

Why Are Men Over 30 Drama Shy?

Hahahaahahahahahahhaah....i'll reply in a second after laughing stops....hahahahahahaa
Baggage people. for gods sake, we are in our 30's. do people think we have all lived the last 30+ years in a room with no windows or outside life ? Of course we will have baggage. Id say likely 50-60% have a child, or more. 30% likely have been married and are divorced/divorcing. most will have had a long term realtionship and known love.
If someones ad says anything to do with Baggage.....click the back button quick.
Now, this is not to say that you have to accept some nut job with so much baggage Terminal 5 will go into shutdown again. If they turn around and have more issues than that of a political party then perhaps a slightly wider birth, perhaps a mile, will be in order. Kids, past life experience and past realtionships are going to have happened, accept them. Most of the baggage is past history anyway, its things that have happened and made the person better, so dont see it all as negative.
Oh, and if a guy says he doesnt want baggage he may well be married and just after getting a stick weiner !!

Im kinda similar. I have mainly dated women older than me, mainly because I find their company better, and more fruitfull. The women I have dated who where younger seemed to simply want certain things, where as I wanted alot more. I wouldnt always take it as mentioned though - the older women merit badge. I know this was in jest, but alot of women do feel if a younger man approaches them he just wants to 'bag-a-milf' ! Not true. Yeh, some are after a bit of older women action, they are idiots who mess it up for the rest of us who genuinely want friendship, or more.
Having said that, i seem to contradict myself though because then if a younger girl says hi to me id be less inclined to take her that serious...but I do meen younger i.e. 10+ years.
I dunno, we people want so much to be with someone, but we are also either looking so hard, or not hard enough, at those who say hello and their qualities/flaws, that maybe we escape the fact that you wont know someone until you actually go and say hi, and see them a few times. I know for me I send greetings to someone on here, and it seems for the majority I hear nothing back. Why, maybe Ive worded my blurb wrong, maybe im a total munter, or maybe people are looking for perfection, when in fairness no one person is perfect.
Its quite demoralising, but if we can see past the intial oh god, and actually talk to someone, we might find out we actually quite like them, regardless of age, or flaws.

Why are women so against dating a man who is 30 and living in his mother's basement?

OK, if a guy has lived at home all his life, or even a girl, and they are into their 30's then their does need to be a good reason. However there are people, like me, who have moved out and had to come back. Mine was due to a divorce and then simply put I could not afford to get a place of my own, or even rent ! Its a sad situation yes, but in some cases why should it matter so much. Granted yes your partner might feel a bit wierd having to come up and sit on your bed to be alone with you, but..SO !!! I have been with women who have their one places, but that their mum is always there, or their kids are always running around. Did that bother me, no, so what is the main difference ?
I think it all boils down to stigma, and the good old 'human being' senario. We all I guess at our age now want to have been settled, in a good relationship, a home etc. When you have to venture out at this age and one of you has the home, the other not, it then leads to feelings of "will they be a leach" or "are they a mummy's boy / daddy's girl" . Often its not true, and we would see a leach coming, and a parental dummy a mile off. so whats it really all about, simple....people want to much perfection. this is so the case now, people have tick boxes, and if one doesnt get marked, they screw it up and throw it in the bin. Let the fact they may have thrown away a great person pass them.
so, what can we do about it, not alot, but think to yourself, id say 98% of all those our age at home have a GOOD reason for it. Take time maybe next time to ask why they are still there, you might be suprised.
For peoples info I lived away from home for approx 11 years. Im back here now at 32 because I simply couldnt afford to do it myself, and then redundancy. I would never expect a person to 'take me in' either.

Why.....its the old adage.....decent people come last I guess. worst of it im a confident guy, alot to offer, but it seems the women I have met want something perfect. That doesnt exsist, but happyness deoes, and they have squandered happyness in the search for the unavailable. Ive also met some nutters, and people who to be fair just didnt end up clicking with.
So I guess i will wait and see what happens next.
