Has anyone ever been dumped via email? Posted: 9/4/2007 6:58:43 PM
Has anyone ever been dumped via email? Yea. Twice. The first time, it was as much of a release as it was a disappointment. She was acting like a dead fish, and I was running out of patience talking to myself while looking at her. The message was... boring and nondescript--just like our "dates" had been. The second time, I was heartbroken. It was the last week of January, and we'd been planning a Valentine's Day rondez vous. I had just secured the time off from my boss that day. She was acting distant and distracted as we traded messages online, and abruptly logged off when I asked her if something was wrong. She sent me the email--"I'm in love, I just met him, I'm sorry." I called and argued, and wasted my breath. At least my boss was understanding when I went back the next day and had to tell him I didn't need the time off. Both girls are still married to the men they left me for... Not sure what to make of that.

You think YOU have it tough?? Try being a redheaded guy! Posted: 8/12/2007 4:23:39 PM
Most men I have talked to or met were very interested in redheaded women It's been well established that the red hair fetish is pronounced (borderline universal) in men and practically non-existent in women. Otherwise-average women with red hair are a delicacy. Otherwise-average men with red hair are an acquired taste--at best. When redheaded women can't buy a chance, civilization will have approx. 45 minutes left.

I tell them it's because God is punishing me When asked why I don't have a girlfriend, I always answer "Because women get a say in the matter." That never fails to stop that line of thought dead in its tracks.

How would you feel if a girl you wanted to date had a male roomate? Posted: 7/17/2007 7:04:01 PM
A girl having a male roommate would be enough to convince me to ignore her. I've been through this scenario before, and the roommate did everything in his power to interfere. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that he's actually the one who introduced her to the guy she ended up dumping me for. I'd rather pass entirely than relive those debacles.

female nerds Posted: 7/14/2007 5:30:50 PM
Shoot me so four people asked me out in four years. At least I said yes to all four of them. And believe me I should have been picky with at least two of them. eesh When you put it that way, you don't sound picky at all. Going out with every man who asked you out in the last four years is far different from meeting four men over four years--I doubt seriously more than a handful of us guys would expect someone with your looks to be approached so infrequently. I certainly didn't.

How do men feel about being metrosexual? Posted: 6/29/2007 7:27:11 PM
What I said was I thought it was cool if a man is secure enough with himself to get pedicures, color th[ei]r hair and stuff like that. I'll never dye my locks. To go blonde, I'd have to bleach my eyebrows, and the hair on my forearms. To go dark, I'd have to wear mascara in addition to dying the eyebrows. But in the spirit of your question, let's say there's $425 in our budget for haircuts. I'd get more enjoyment out of running my fingers through your $400 haircut, and enjoying your mood adjustment the pampering would do, than I would if we split things evenly, or even if I were the one being pampered. The luxuries that give me the biggest boosts lie elsewhere.

You think YOU have it tough?? Try being a redheaded guy! Posted: 6/29/2007 7:06:46 PM
Cof...you are fine just like you look...red or bald..you look good...to the jerk that doesn't like redheads...honey you don't know what you are missing.. we are intellegent..caring..sexy...fun loving females , that will stand beside her man when no one else will...I am a red head and Iam not angry...just upset that we are put into a certain class that is totaly false.... Thank you--though red I shall stay. Shaven is simply not an option. Now that I've come to accept the Scot in my blood is not wholly dormant, maybe I can defy fate and keep my ruby mane--or if not, the running joke in my family used to be that I may end up looking like a red-haired version of the hippie father on Dharma & Greg. to all the redheaded men out there...good looking....except for carrot top...eeew... Have to agree with you on that, too. Would that we could vote to revoke his redhead status. I don't know why you think the way you do... It is my life's experience. When the same thing happens over and over again, you start to believe it--like you can tell me the sun will rise in the West and set in the East; I've seen the reverse happen so many times I'd have a hard time believing you. I've always been treated differently because of it, always found myself as the center of attention despite my best efforts. While I've never had a sober girl blame my red hair as a deal breaker, there is truth in beer. A few years I finally accepted that it's not going to change color, so I may as well embrace it and enjoy the perks--but that doesn't make the costs go away. Just ask any well-endowed woman who has learned to love her breasts--and if she disagrees with me at first, ask about her back. To paraphrase the great philosopher of our time: "[long red hair]; the cause of, and solution to, all of [my] life's problems." -Homer Simpson. Crown of fire...according to my son...they're all down in Mississippi! You want me to get him to send some of these girls up north to Ohio??? LOL! Actually, that doesn't surprise me. Most of the girls I've been closest to have been Texan, coincidentally. There's nothing quite like South'ron women.

I've found that most women will profess to not avoiding redheads like the plague--some even embellish as far as liking or even preferring redheads--on paper (or a message board, as it were), but when actually faced with a redhead, the story changes immediately. My worst nightmare is having a redheaded son. Although I find redheaded women attractive, I tend to avoid them out of that fear. A redheaded daughter is different; she has a light at the end of her tunnel.

My experiences stack up more closely to the OP than to his detractors. There was one girl that liked it--though she had enough issues to be an episode of Jerry Springer by herself--and for the others, it's been a handicap to overcome. I spent years hating it--but I've never been comfortable with short hair. I've learned to embrace it, and just accept its price.

Do you mind a girl commenting on your sexual attractiveness Posted: 5/23/2007 4:05:33 AM
it depends what kind of guy the female is complimenting. if the guy is insecure, shy, has self-esteem issues and such, he will most likely not want to hear any compliments because they will confuse him and he won't believe you. he will think you are telling him what he wants to hear. he will think you are a liar and will probably feel less fond of you. if the guy is attractive, and he knows it, and is confident and secure with himself, sure he will love to hear compliments and he will bathe in the attention you give him. This is a cop-out. It's no different than some guy trying to pick up a flat-chested girl by whistling and telling her "she has a great rack," then dismissing her feelings with a crude remark like "she must be on the rag" if she doesn't react the way he wants her to. I never realized "insecure" means "doesn't appreciate being patronized." I guess we better start getting Dictionary.com to update their definition.

Do you mind a girl commenting on your sexual attractiveness Posted: 5/22/2007 8:00:47 PM
Ok, so what I mean is not a negative thing but it is a bit of objectification to be sure. The woman touches your pecs and says "yummy" or looks at you in a way that is purely sexual, appreciative and maybe comments about a part of your body that is sexy or says your voice or smell is intoxicating etc just like guys do to us women all the time. Can you handle it. I mean can you just smile with pleasure or return the compliment or do you get flustered or feel objectified in a negative way? I've grown out of playing coy. Just call me voracious ;-) I've been told that I am unattractive and treated the same, more often than I can care to recall. If some random girl acted this way... it would depend on what kind of day she caught me in. On a good day, I might laugh and excuse myself. On a bad day, I might accuse her of having a twisted sense of humor before walking away. I've never been made to feel wanted in a relationship; tolerated is a better way to describe it. If she were someone I were interested in or attracted to, I'd probably stop interacting with her altogether. I'd see it as an insult to my intelligence. I can't stand being lied to.

What causes clinginess in a relationship Posted: 4/18/2007 6:38:02 PM
A certain degree of "clingyness" is actually healthy. IMHO, whining about clingyness is just a ruse to avoid naming a different problem--usually the problem of the one complaining about clingyness.

How do you feel about communication? Posted: 4/15/2007 6:15:27 PM
It might be music to his ears Actually, I do perfer to listen. Ramble away! The last few girls I have gone out with have been silent as the dead... I am the type of person that if something is bothing me, I tend to overcommunicate. I will want to talk about it until it is like the old saying "beating a dead horse." What can I say, I am a chatterbox and rarely ever shut up. It is worse when I am nervous. But I pride myself on the fact that I truly listen to people. I like these women. It's easier to read their minds when it's an audio excersize.

So why don't women like cowboy's anymore??? Posted: 4/13/2007 3:41:41 AM
I find a lot of women love the romanticized aspects of the cowboy mentality--the decisiviness, the bias towards action, and the rugged "Devil-may-care" attitude. When confronted with a real cowboy, however, the romanticism gets overshadowed by reality. That decisiveness doesn't get her opinion. That bias towards action occasionally may lead him down a different path than the one she wants. The "Devil-may-care" attitude can hurt her feelings if she takes it personally. Cowboys are kinda like Corvette's in a way... many drool over them, but far fewer actually have the lifestyle to be able to fully enjoy them.

From my experience, "Take it slow" is an implicit promise to dump you. Abide by it, and you'll be dumped "because the sprark just isn't there." Disregard it, and you'll be dumped "for ignoring her feelings."

What does Hang Out in a profile mean to you?? Posted: 4/11/2007 3:05:08 PM
I have put Hang Out as a description of what I am looking for. Jus t wondering what that means to you guys. Lately all the emails I have received are from either married men or guys looking for intimate encounters............so just let me know so I can change it up.........even though that is what I am looking for right now....is someone to hang out with in a no pressure atmosphere. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks for your time "Hange Out," to me, means "I intend to waste my time. If you join me, I'll intend to waste yours as well." But then again, others may enjoy wasting time. I loathe the indecisive and devious routes.

Are looks that important?? Posted: 4/9/2007 4:48:09 PM
When you look at someones profile what is the first thing you look at? Location. I'm tired of long-distance relationships with the West Coast, the Deep South, and Scandinavia. Holding hands should be an action, not an emoticon. =) the picture? I do look. It's kind of like a boat in my option; she need not be the Princess of the Caribbean, but she does need to be sea-worthy. or what they have to say? More girls have convinced me not to contact them with their text than have convinced me to contact them. Are someones looks the be all and end all?? No. Plenty of would-be attractive women find very effective ways to sabotage themselves. Or do you find the personality and what someone has to say is the thing that draws you to a them? That's what's going to make the relationship last or prevent it from lasting. Unfornately, looks are what get one in the door. If it's any consolation, that door slams just as hard in our faces, too! Are there men out there that dont wan a trophy on their arm? Certainly. They're just not the pretty boys. Eye candy tends to seek eye candy.

Trying to figure out what league I am in... Posted: 3/25/2007 5:02:20 PM
I had an experience several years ago where I approached a woman in a bar and tried to start up a conversation. She bluntly interjected "don't bother...I am way out of your league". I don't want that experience again. So I am trying to figure out what "league" I am in...I understand that if I approach people who are better than me, it is kind of insulting to them (as documented by that past experience), so I want to avoid that. It's simple. You're in whatever league she assigns to you. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off; move on to the next girl.

why do men go for the ditsy thin girls? Posted: 3/22/2007 7:17:05 PM
Edit: another English rule which is merely convention, and has no importance in the clarity of communication, is the rule that sentences must not end with a preposition. Who made that up?? And why? Like the prohibition on split-infinitives, it's a relic of Latin (or at least that's one theory, and the one I believe). I always thought it was funny (and ironic, but I find irony very funny) that the Latin, Spanish, French and German majors spoke better English than the English majors. Hic mundus latinus mundus est.

Male role confusion and frustration? Posted: 3/16/2007 8:31:18 PM
Can't speak for other women, but I can for myself.... The rules changed along the way, as we grew up, but someone forgot to write them down. Thats why clear, honest, detached and careful communication is needed - sans emotion, sans subjectivity, sans fear of reprisal and recrimination. Guy's tell you what's being communicated to them, and you're trying to correct them? You're not listening to what you're saying; you're listening to what you intend. They are trying to communicate with you.

Common interests & compatibility Posted: 3/14/2007 8:05:59 PM
Ladies... is anyone else discovering that men who post very little in their profile get a bit defensive about sharing what their interests might be? Granted there are those who say too many to list and they graciously share when asked. I don't understand why they get defensive? Sharing common interests can be a wonderful way to get to know another person. Care to share your thoughts ladies and gents? My profile is, intentionally, succinct. I believe we do more to discourage each other from contact than encourage--but I don't understand becoming defensive. I don't understand that, either.

What about expert advice? Posted: 3/13/2007 6:23:48 AM
For example: They seem to be in agreement that the woman should never be the first to call, e-mail, IM, or text. Women have, they concede, come very far in terms of equal rights, but the dating world hasn't caught up. Men are programmed to be hunters, and they want to do the chasing. Fact, or fiction? This characterization is anecdotal at best. Women can be just as prowl-happy as men. As far as making the first move; this remains men's territory not because we want and treasure it, but because women by-and-large aren't interested in the ego bruises it takes to get the job done. If you think you're strong enough to handle it, by all means; go for it!!! Then there's the advice they give women in my situtation right now: When you have found the one you want, you're certain you want that man, you don't want to date others, but it's not written in stone yet, you should continue dating around anyway, even if your heart isn't in it. Personally, I don't think it's fair to date a man I know I'm not going to pursue a relationship with. It's not fair to the man I want, who might get the impression that I don't, and it's not fair to the man I don't want, who might get the impression that I do. But the "experts" say I should date the man I don't want anyway, that it might prompt the man I do want to go ahead and make his move. Do what you think is best; experts be damned. I think this advice is usually grounded in leverage--and if you're strong enough not to need to manufacture artificial leverage, then there's no reason to do so. As far as I'm concerned, the advice of experts and $.35 will buy a cup of coffee.

Too good for him? Posted: 3/9/2007 7:15:45 PM
Now he's dating someone else and he's not interested in me because he says it could be because I'm too good for him. This strikes a different nerve for me. I remember a girl from my youth, one that I was absolutely head-over-heels in love with. I chased her incessantly for four years, befriended her, and eventually her siblings and family. Now, though, when I look back on her and myself, I was like a dog chasing a car--if she'd one day said "Alright, I'm all yours!" I would have had no idea what to do with her--not literally, but figuratively. I treasure the memories of dancing with her at every school function, but I was always (at least subconsciously) worried about hurting her, brusing her, or leaving a mark on her. I thought she was perfect, and that was the problem. She was like the signed hockey jersey I treasure--but can't bring myself to wear. I'd call her too good for me--in that she was too good for my comfort. Now I look for a few flaws, so I can give myself the liberty of taking risks with her. If you don't want to be the perfect gem that's too good to risk, maybe try letting your hair down more?

Okay...here is my question...please answer honestly! LOL When you are first starting to date someone (say in the first 2 months)...how much time do you want to spend with them? And what drives you to spend MORE time with them? Is once a week good enough? Or do you prefer more? Thanks for answering! Cheers! 24 hours per day x 60 minutes per hour x 7 days per week x 2 months = 20,160 minutes. In the real world, I'm happy spending a night or two together a week. Then again, I like sharing time--too much is not enough!

scared of making mistakes... Posted: 3/7/2007 6:43:44 PM
i was just wondering if everyone else has that "first date" anxiety? i mean, sometimes i have it a couple of months into the relationship. it's almost like i'm scared of saying or doing something wrong and scaring the person away. the desire to impress, perhaps. the anxiousness generally goes away and that comfort factor sets in, but what causes it? and how can you get it to go away sooner? I've the same apprehension in all my dates. To a degree, I think it's natural--an outstemming of the desire to impress and please your date. Dating causes anxiety in me as well. The more I thought about it, I realized because I don't think I've ever really dated before. I need to reach a certain comfort level with someone. With today's disposible relationships and easy access to the internet, who wouldn't be afraid to make mistakes? This sums me up very well, too. I believe if I could make it to month two with someone, I might be able to relax more, and enjoy their company more. Most women seem to treat relationships as disposable--and I can't really blame them, as all they must do to find another relationship prospect is not refuse the offer.

What do you look at first? Posted: 3/3/2007 6:42:44 AM
1st pass - age & distance. Sure, I might have a shot with the 21 yr. old in Rome or the 36 yr. old in Portland, but I doubt it. 2nd pass - combing her text for land mines and red flags--things like "I don't need a man in my life," or "I'm independent," or "all my guy friends think I'm HOTT." Basicly, anything that hints (to me) that she's likely to try to or allow others to undermine a relationship if it goes that way. Another red flag I'm looking for is her not being in the same stage in her life--I'm still inexperienced for my age, and a woman who demands a potential date have most of his "first time's" out of the way would lead me to pass. 3rd pass - photo. I'm not looking for perfection; just some feature I like (eyes, hair, smile) among other features that don't make me cringe. Average can be very beautiful.

Is it easier for men? Posted: 3/1/2007 3:55:54 PM
It seems that men have it much easier to get over a relationship then woman do. If we have any easier times bouncing back, it's from sheer repetition. Do you know what they call a man with a 25% chance to translate shared smiles into a date? Adonis. A man with a 2½% chance? Above Average. When you have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start over that often, you get numb. Each rejection can't feel worse than the others, because there are too many. To feel them is like trying to bail out the ocean; it's either learn to float (and not bail) or drown while bailing. Some guys get good at sleepwalking their way back into the saddle. Those who don't learn to deaden themselves can drop out of the dating market after a relationship ends. This is a double-whammy, though, as women taking active roles in starting is still rare to the point of borderline-mythical.

do your readup on someone's posts? Posted: 3/1/2007 3:15:48 PM
If you read a person's profile, and you're really interested, do the forum posts help or turn you off (depending on topic of course.) Do you base your decision to contact them based on the type of things they post about? If a girl catches my eye, I'll look up what she's posted recently, and usually read the entire thread up to that point (for context, if nothing else). It's changed my mind on a few of those girls, too. Most of the time, though, it's reinforced my opinion of them.

Dating a Religious Zealot is a challenge Posted: 3/1/2007 3:05:07 PM
Have you ever had the unfortunate experence of dating a woman(or man) who was a complete religious zealot? A Ned Flanders type.... I mean someone who can't have a conversation without bringing up Jesus, Allah, Budda or who ever? It has to be the hardest thing to do expecially if your not a religious person. These zealots make it their mission to "turn" you to the "light" rather than build a reasonable relationship. These religious mainacs make even the most insignifigant things impossible.... I've dated (and had a roommate) that were faithless zealots, the kind of people who worshipped themself and took it unto themself to debunk any kind of faith. I'd take a Ned-type any day over *those* zealots.

what should i believe Posted: 3/1/2007 2:18:45 PM
When I confronted him about it, he told me he would erase the page. Days later the page still exists. He made a promise to you. How does that bode for the ultimate promise (vows)? There are too many good guys out there to waste time on this one.

What Do You Think Of A Girl Friend Who Stays in Touch With Ex Lovers On a Regular Basis? Posted: 2/14/2007 5:43:00 PM
Personally, I think that's great. Most red flags aren't so blantant.

Go vegan or veggie Dealbreaker. I'd be dead within a week. Being a devout Monetarist, boycotts wouldn't sit well with me either--but I'd at least survive those.

It looks to me that the men are waiting for the woman to contact them first. Posted: 2/13/2007 5:27:08 AM
I can only speak for myself. I've gotten tired of the read/delete and unread/delete, although I'll grant that a number of them were before I found this site. I've cut back because, frankly, the odds don't feel like they're worth the effort. It's a waste of my time, and a few seconds of hers--but I'm under no illusion that women are willing to replace me, though.
