Is intelligence a key characteristic for you? Posted: 8/20/2008 11:34:29 PM
I love an itelligent women nothing more attractive. Some feel intimidated and I have meet many women who were more intelligent that I am, but I never felt like I was turned off by that. The problem seems to be that you get pigeonholed if you try and act intelligent. I remember being in a class and I spoke several languages and I knew alot about world events and coould converse in theology, Physics, whatever you could name. However I tell one joke and it seemed that people were shocked I could be funny as well as intelligent. Was a time in grade school I would only joke around rather than try and show that I was intelligent. Just felt the need to fit in. Then when I got older realize that I could be both and that was who I was. I stopped trying to be one or the other and just try to be myself and use both gifts I possessed.

Are you only attracted to unavailable people? Posted: 7/28/2008 11:59:38 PM
Well could also be that women dont want to settle either especially after ending a long relationship. I found that my easy going demeanor and lighthearted look at things is a plus to someone who is wrapped up in a lot of drama. Unfortunately some have trouble letting the drama go. And a word of warning to those looking that it is very unattractive to drag your old baggage into a new relationship. I dont mind being their for someone who needs to cry a little but its not a lifestyle anyone with good sense wants to live.

I think I need to clarify my remarks. I meant that I was availible for a full time relationship and some woman are not looking for that. Hving come from bad relationships is a trust issue at stake and its hard for some to get use to the idea of trusting a member of the opposite sex. So while I might be availible and willing for a full time relationship some women havent healed enough to be ready for that so soon after a break up. My last two relationships were with women who were less than 6 months out of a bad divorce.

Whatever Happened to Romance/Courtship, etc.? Posted: 7/27/2008 8:38:23 PM
I dont get it because romance is the art of making someone else feel special. Its not about items or behavior but the sincere and honest effort to make your significant other feel important. I have dated several woman and for each woman its always something different that makes them feel special. Sometimes its a romantic setting, sometimes its a special gift, and other times its just a effort to step up and do something ordinary and everyday so that it give your significant other a chance to have time either together or alone. For example once I did some errands I knew my S/O needed to have done. Was a day I wasnt busy and she had a lot of things she needed to take care of. So I did her laundry, Did her shopping and picked up her kids and took them to their grandma's house. So when my s/o got home from work she had the entire night off. I offered to cook her dinner or even just to give her a massage. She just wanted to relax and read a little and take a nap. While it didnt start off as a romantic night after she woke from her nap she was relaxed and we had a terrific night. She had been so busy she hadnt had time for herself and my gift to her while not some great gift or romantic plan it ended up being just what she needed to recharge her batteries and enjoy the rest of the night with me. And it became romantic because she knew why I did it and she had alot of her worries for that day gone and could relax and spend a special night with me.

Never had a problem with someone wanting to talk about relationships and how they work. Too often its the other way around when communication doesnt occur and the relationship falls apart. In answer to the question of this post its natural for people to be selective in who we date or seek relationships with. Some jump in and out of relationships at a rapid pace while others seek something more lasting. I think the reason I havent been in many relationships is that I want a great relationship from the start. To me connecting with a woman and sharing things is something I strive for in any long term relationship. But it has also meant that I have been unwilling to have casual relationships with women with the goal of just spending time together. Whenever I meet a woman I try always to start out in a freindship. Even if I find them very attractive. Because looks doesnt mean that I will enjoy being with that person or that they will feel the need to stay with me. So I start out just being freindly and taking things from there. But that has also been my problem as I seem to get caught up in relationships with women not wanting anything more than temporary. So while I maybe availible doesnt mean the other person is.

Do you allow your romantic interest to hear you speak in your funny cat voice? Posted: 7/4/2008 7:55:13 PM
I hope to meet some woman that doesnt mind that sense of humor. I love to start kissing a woman and mutter sweet Elmer fuddisms into her ear just to see her break out laughing. A woman is extremely beautiful when she laughs and I really enjoy trying to make a woman laugh. Admit it gets me into trouble when I break into snagglepuss saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman even....."

Why do older Men think like they are teenagers. Wanting to know about Sex first? Posted: 6/19/2008 7:19:47 PM
Eh dont put us all in that same catagory. Myself personally I love to talk to women about any subject and I enjoy making friends. Every single relationship I have been in started out as a good freindship. Thats why I dont Im or email anyone first. Im much more comfortable just talking to a freind than going up to someone I dont know and just talking to them. Of course that is the main reason why Im still single because Im not that outgoing. But cant change who I am that much.

Most of me exes were high maintenance. It just takes more of an effort to keep them happy. That I dont mind but if your going to put such an effort into a relationship it really should be reciprocated.

single moms Posted: 2/23/2008 11:27:43 PM
Well having no kids myself it makes it easier on a relationship to join with someone who has no kids or does have kids. I think its hard on a person to be a parent to kids that arent normally your own but kids need parents and you dont get the luxury to sit out. So if your going to jump feet first into a relationship involving kids you cant do things half way.

Valentine's Day Thoughts/Survey Posted: 2/12/2008 9:19:12 PM
I had this conversation once in college. We were in philosphy class talking about various issues. I came up with "You know your in love when you want to do anything for someone else without a thought for yourself first. Love isnt selfish its giving to someone else." For me that is love when someone else means more to you than you do for yourself. Too often relationships are selfish and we want someone else to live up to our standards. We all have things we dont want to change about ourselves and expectations we have of others. But if your in love then there are no standards no expectations only the desire to please someone else. And that too is why divorces turn so bad. When you love someone and it becomes more and more selfish between two people it leads to anger over the failure of love to transend the selfishness that we all have. So the best answer I can give you is to say "Do you love someone for theirselves of for what the give you ?"

Do you have an unusual attraction/what are your attractions toward the opposite sex. Keep it clean. Posted: 2/10/2008 6:22:32 PM
I would like someone who doesnt take the idea "Im a ****" as a role model. And there are some crazy ladies out there isnt just guys. I understand some have been through tramatic relationships but being emotional unstable isnt a turnon. Nor is treating someone you just met as a crutch to dump all your problems on either.

Relationship Home Invasion.... Posted: 2/10/2008 6:19:28 PM
Some people have a comfort zone and rarely leave it. However that is a problem because if you want in a relationship you must be willing to leave your comfort zone to accomidate someone else As for me I like to talk with someone for a while before I try to meet them. Had one woman get vrey upset that I didnt want to go on a date with her after a single exchange of emails. I understand for a woman why it might be strange and ackward to meet guys but having someone get angry with you after 2 breif emails for not taking them out to dinner is a bit much. That is what happened to me.

At our age, what is acceptable for contacting the guys? Posted: 1/12/2008 6:37:05 PM
You know the best advice I can give is just find something interesting to you or him to talk about. If you can have a conversation with each other and are willing to communicate and let each other talk and listen then take things from there. Best advice is dont go into a relationship with expectations go into it with a sort of curiousity.

Romantic !!!! Are we still? Posted: 1/1/2008 9:46:02 PM
For me romance is about sharing and the best way to be romantic is to make the other person feel special Romance isnt as much about giving flowers or candy as it is about just giving something to someone to make them feel special. I have done some romantic things such as a smal gift or setting up a night with special foods or activities that me and my significant other would want to share. Or even something as mundane as doing a chore for someone to free up their time so they can spend it doping something they enjoy rather than spending time taking care of a chore they need to do. From giving massages to cooking dinner or even just setting up a night for a quiet walk or doing an activity out of the ordinary just to break the rut is all things that can be romantic. The best romance is always when you share and both enjoy it. So nah I still love to be romantic. Is alot of fun and never dull

They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

Why do we find the bad boys irresistable?? Posted: 12/9/2007 8:11:46 PM
I dont think women are looking for bad guys as much as just for a little excitement. Life can be dull and having someone who wants to share and do things is much nicer than just having a relationship with someone who just wants to sit at home all the time. So it isnt as much about good guys vs bad boys as it is about a boring guy verse someone who is fun to hang out with.

single moms Posted: 12/9/2007 8:09:39 PM
Well I think maybe women should be greatful that you learn right away if a guy is interested in you if having kids limits a relationship. Try and find a guy that wants a family and wants to be with you and them both. Dont settle or be upset that alot of guys dont want that. Is some women that also dont want a full family and its problems that come with that kind of relationship. If your children truely are first then maybe you need to look for a guy who wants a family more than just looking for a good looking guy. Looks are only skin deep and you need reliability more than just unstable relatonships.
