How does a woman successfully teach a man how she likes to be touched?

There's so much of a range to do here.

Why would he still check his POF?
Posted: 3/12/2013 2:07:23 PM
You're still young, I expect that he is too, and going out for a month is not an automatic "steady" status.
People settle down once they get older, which is an older age than ever these days.

What am I not getting?
Posted: 3/12/2013 2:03:38 PM
So, he felt some kind of uneasy nervous twitch and decided that the relationship could not continue based on your needing to have space. I really don't see why people fall into these false hopes that they will find someone whose only purpose will be to suit them. You didn't see this coming, and the stuff of yours is low on his priority list... but being that we only see one side to the story here, it's just persistence to get your things back. Since he is not available for any type of communication it really doesn't sound like he's all that great.

Disability and disclosure of such, for dating purposes.
Posted: 3/11/2013 10:02:41 PM
"Baby baby it's a wild world,

"

developing a strategy for dating has absolutely nothing to do with confronting people with their limitations.
But with or without one, it's an ideal without a sail.

Not many replies to my contacts, help!
Posted: 3/9/2013 8:39:12 PM
I wouldn't change a thing. I would suggest spreading a wider net so to speak. And I've found things move a Lot faster when people meet in person than when they try to establish a lot of talking. But there is not just a physical you to be sought after, there is a cognitive, emotional you., this precedes then the imperative to just "get things moving faster" with the one that means "be the one you want to see in your life," but of course then, when does it ever end being content with taking it slow. Regardless though of those things, I suggest meeting people in real life. And one month is not very long regarding personal relationships, so in one way be glad that you haven't gotten "hitched" into some guy who is just all smoke and mirrors. :)

edit. Dangit I didn't see "give me a man's point of view"
ok how bout:

Saving a friendship after being friends with benefits?
Posted: 3/9/2013 8:32:45 PM

I found out that he was actually growing some feelings for someone else

as was said, being friends without sex is basically not FWB, which is really a good thing because you two seem to have a strong meaningful connection, and basing it on friendship is never bad. And since you care deeply about him of course, it would make sense to give him room and space to explore the other woman in his life that to him represents a possible LTR it seems. On the other hand, well, I would wonder if you perhaps want to assert more strongly that you Have some bigger desire for him beyond just "friends," because he could be waiting for that kind of change. You best be figuring out whether you want him or not, that's my thoughts.

30's = Time to Loosen Up One's Standards?
Posted: 3/5/2013 9:31:10 PM
shake down your standards, Julie
shake down your standards. Why?
shake down your standards, Julie,
poor girl you're bound to pry

you met him on a mountain,
there he looked eighty five,
then you shaved his hair-doo
and saw he had some lice

shake down your standards, Julie
shake down your standards. Why?
shake down your standards, Julie,
poor girl you're bound to pry

This time tomorrow
reckon where you'll be
Hadn't a been for knee socks
You'd be a'whippin me

Ground control to Mary Strong
Ground control to Mary Strong
Take your estrogen and put your high heels on

Ground control to Mary Strong
Commencing countdown mental images on
Check eyeshadow and may Goddess's love be with you

This is ground control to Mary Control, you've really missed the date
And the post-its on your mirror say "it's your shirt they wear"
Now it's time to leave the nice girl shelter if you dare

This is Mary Strong to ground control, I'm pressing on his throat
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
Your skirt looks very velvety today

For heeeeeeeeere am I chatting on a forum, high on the blues
POF is rude and there's raunchy ads I can sue

Hope you realize that it's not your standards that you should lower, it's your expectations. People are always going to be people, but don't put all that energy into one basket, that's my fortune cookie advice
(Hope you like my silly song alterations)

you just look around at what's going on like who is really interested in the kind of typical guy things he's into and you can also call your friends and ask them a thousand billion questions until they are up all night and miss their freshman college class the next day so really I suppose my point is that you could really just ask but then you know who knows

Never had sex and very scared of it - please suggest
Posted: 3/2/2013 12:30:09 AM
Here is an approach that should sound radical, but this is what my experienced showed me.

Get to know him, show him that you have patience to treat him well, and learn how to listen, deeply, of course. I don't know the right answers, I'm just as lost as anyone, but it's love, lust, time commitment and so forth... I've seen people lose their ability to make proper judgements, a neighbor who was in his 40's went out with some gal much younger than him, wound up buying her a brand new truck. It made absolutely no sense. It was like he was convinced because of a couple of months of lovemaking that she was meant for him to take care of. I dunno how their story ended, but I mean, it was frightening to me that he would spend so much on someone he really only knew a short while.

I would seriously save the sex for after you've known him for at least a year.
He may be someone whom you already know, as well.

p.s. I didn't read through the thread before I posted... but this is the best advice I can give.

Open Sexually vs. Closed Sexually
Posted: 3/2/2013 12:04:56 AM
Well, I didn't read it well enough, I definitely overlook certain things when the subject matter is something I couldn't see myself doing.
Exhibitioning himself would be public indecency, not assault. What she described was not a forced encounter but as you described, someone wanting to show themselves and show their date where they wanted to be touched. Nowhere did the OP say this was not consentual. So I apologize, like I said it's an odd scenario to begin with.

Disability and disclosure of such, for dating purposes.
Posted: 3/1/2013 11:46:11 PM
Hard question for someone who has a disability. Your physical abnormality is arguably invisible, I personally would not mention it since it seems to affect very little. However, there are people who will insist on knowing just whatever they think they deserve. Tell people it takes time to earn trust, it takes an earnest desire to love someone, it doesn't just happen by waltzing into a room and saying "oh yes, the stars have foretold our casual lovemaking, oh my, well, look at the time, nice to know you. Don't you know I told you when I came I was a stranger?... Well I find these forums to be pretty cool at times... but overbearing sometimes, but besides the forums I more or less wouldn't shop here. But I think having this allows me to balance the two. I don't DO online dating, I do online "hanging out" so I can then determine whether or not the person is someone to become closer to... although I'm nerdy, I'm like six relationship books deeper than what the typical slap on the behind and tit-fixated media leaves us with, most of the time.

Open Sexually vs. Closed Sexually
Posted: 3/1/2013 8:16:39 PM
Some men and women both have had sexual experiences even from a young age, while some people with children never had an orgasm.

Who knows what to expect these days? It's very diverse and that's what is so appreciable about it all.

Sexual assault? You are on a date, not at work. Your profile sir says you are "near perfect at what women want," however you think being aggressive on a date gets your wrists put into cuffs? You need to get in touch with your deeper inner feelings, you know, the ones where you like sexuality, but don't like it on a woman, and need to have domination and control in order to have a good time, and stop annoying the discussion with CSI Miami lingo.

Having thought about how much it's an expectation to be sexually expressive in today's dating culture, I do however feel like it's important to only respond to what you know you seek out there. The good traveler is not in a hurry to arrive. But if you're like me, well, if its 30 minutes into a movie and we're sitting on the couch in the dark, it's like there's a magnetic force in the middle. Dating today isn't quite like it once was.

Like, perhaps communication would be a better turn on than going for the "touchy feely" types.

I hope you aren't offended Igor, I just felt like taking the other side of that 'overly cordial' approach of yours. And I would like to add that it is comical but not comical, when people decide what's best for the night with words that sound like "finally, I'm right"

Why is it so wrong to not want to date a person with kids in your 30's?
Posted: 3/1/2013 7:42:46 PM
Here I go with my point of view, let's see if it sails.

Children are not going to read this, your children I mean.. of course random children have access to all kinds of crap online. It's a tragic failure for parents not to protect their children. And so this online meet-n-greet style site is like a pub, with people-please-me attitudes.

Why expect a mom not to have a sexual drive? That is something guys we need to wrap our brains around: She still likes sex. We all like it, mm boy :) Well, where do single parents find that kind of attention? They usually find it from guys who are ***holes, and this is because it requires too much of an investment of time and energy to really search out genuine people. And perhaps you'd be more interested in a girl anyway? Attractive hot girls these days are "Also Bi" and this leads to even more confusion when really it's kinda like just for attention. I'm curious about how a parent would go about finding the attention they would like from an attractive and potential mate.. I think there's a bit of keeping people at arm's length going on,

cheers, overthinking broody hairsplitters :) Peace God Sex Love and Rock'n'Roll

do men actually exist that date women with kids??
Posted: 3/1/2013 7:22:39 PM
If they're almost teenage, well heck, it's almost like you're 26 again! Kidding aside though, there's not much to say for me, but to me, since your children are for all sakes and purposes *raised* though note quite fully taught what to do from here... because I grew up with both parents, well I honestly know you gotta look for love and support..... I thought you had said they were almost out of the house, but almost teenage.. I guess they still rely on you somewhat. Anyway it's really quite the time to ignite that soul within, (which, good luck with what you'll find, buncha horn dog dudes right?) But hey, gotta know who is in the saddle.

Acrostic Poetry - first letter of each line spells the Title of your poem...
Posted: 3/1/2013 7:18:21 PM
Pretend this is all there is.
And dream a little dream,
Under the milky way with me tonight,
Sure that's all there is to every heartache;
Each tender kiss just now long ago, twilight.

Tend the waters of your soul let's go!
Onward toward the mystical sea

Remember just what we
Embraced in that short
Memory,
Even though now it pains me.
Much was shared back when we were together
But of course now, there is always another
Empty embrace by a stranger,
Reckoning you're really you ready for me

Are Men Seeking attention or a relationship?
Posted: 3/1/2013 6:45:46 PM
attention, duh! Well and then more of it later! And then leave me alone time! I dunno, I think though that attention - relationship = perpetual looking, but relationship - attention = looking kinda perpetual.. free spirited is the way to go, it's a whole new world! Nobody can "fill that void" although, what do I know? I am just a silly gentleman, thinking of what could win me a little of that attention and so forth :)

And breakfast in bed is better'n sex anyway, just some combination of these things.

Guys especially: is he having an emotional affair with me?
Posted: 2/22/2013 7:43:25 PM
I sense negative responses here, I'll try to give you a positive one.

People are complex, unless someone is married, then it shouldn't be so terrifying that they have a real human connection with someone else. Ever heard of having a friend of the opposite gender? That's what it is. That doesn't mean it isn't a source for jealousy. But do you know him well enough to stand head to head? I guess really he does sound kinda like a jerk because IN A YEAR he hasn't mentioned her? That's not exactly being up front at all. I'd find my exit

Posted: 2/22/2013 7:36:32 PM
This could be like the garden of Eden
But wait no it sure as ... heck ain't, Y'know
That kinda means theres two sides to ev'ry thing
So while it's obscene hey it's also serene
it's sometimes downright gross, just the physical body itself
but overwhelmingly the body is amazing.
It's what happens To our bodies that is so obscene, the trauma.
Inherently obscene? The beholder sees different things.

If you like the tigers, you expect the housecat? You want to feel like you can turn him into an honest man, when he's obviously calling the shots, but it sounds hot to me, and I would suggest that you focus on what you want for the long run, which sounds like a LTR, and communicate to see if he will be submissive to you as well.

Mental maturity
Posted: 2/20/2013 11:12:05 AM

you're just now realizing that people mature as they get older??

Says the married woman to the young, brandish inquisitive and resourceful gentleman. Gee, why don't you go to the museum and tell them how to feng shui?

I respect that studies show that women mature more quickly than men, during the ages of 20-30 or so. However, as we all know, what does it mean when it's done more quickly? It means that it's covering something up. There are two sides of every story, and as we can see here, some men are much more mature than women. Personal development does not even begin to elaborate on how different people are individually, not just referring to maturity and seeing farther into the future, but energy and seeing more deeply into who you really are.

Do you think poetry would convince you to love a poet?
Posted: 2/19/2013 1:55:48 PM
And finally at last, and at that a blast,
-d poem not lengthy nor glaring
responding so fun with a cajole,
So it may have trickled, but just now
I did tickle my keys into getting back.

And also this is the post which will cinch up
the thread. It seems to me that poetry is
not dead but that isn't really what I wanted.
I worry as I write, for what would happen when
I have forty stanzas and no longer a seat at all?

SO I must be brief and guys you really didn't need
to answer because you really clogged it up good.
But hey at least we have a feminine crew. And hey
I could be into you too, you know it's past the 90's
Though I kid, I really do, and I shouldn't lead you on.

Hum, so thanks for the replies, I guess I do get this
last word. Can anyone get better sleep than with that?
See it's not really poetry so much as just a thing,
and um, bada bang, bada bing.

As much as I could mushy up a poem and use that to demonstrate the bias of my question, the truth is that it matters that a woman has intellect as well as passion. While the sex can be good, it can be a difficult adjustment to have a "brainy" fellow all the time, likewise a sexual beast who really does not engage with wordplay would also get to be old. Looking forward to reading your responses.

What will our Century be remembered for?
Posted: 2/18/2013 7:19:11 PM
I am going to go from least to greatest, shall we?

World War I and II.
Fat Man and Little Boy, first and so far only nukes used on civilian targets ~150,000 deaths.
The Internet
Film and Filmography
The Sexual Revolution

A much harder question is, what do you know to be memorable about the 1800's? I don't think I could answer that, I'm not much on history.

edit: I thought by "our century" you meant the one we've Had so far. To predict what'll be remembered about the period from 2000 to 2100...

Holographic sexual experience
Terrestrial biological isolation tanks critical for space exploration
The telescope that could see a mole on an alien
The hysteria of orgasms and the squander of natural resources
Extreme animal abuse in the farming industry
The switch of the world's primary language from English to Chinese

They say it's easy to joke about God or there being no God, but actually it's not just easy, it's about the only thing one can actually do. Jesus said that God is above all else, which is to mean that in every way of looking at it, even on the "highest plane of existence or heaven" all are humbled to say the least.
So then turning toward the Bible... I have to say it's bound to be incredible, remarkable, wonderful, very historical, full of wisdom and on and on. But then it is rather a comedy to me, when one considers "Yay, God killed our enemies. Noooo... our enemies are killing us. Why God, why??" So the last part is just to say that "if you survive, you know God loves you."
