Supporting evidence’? What’s that, other guys saying the same miraculous thing happens to them? Yeah, that NEVER happens on these forums and of course proves what happened to OP irrefutably

Men were rated significantly more desirable to women when depicted with women than they were when depicted with men. Women were rated significantly less desirable to men when depicted with men than they were when depicted with women.

Interestingly, this indicates that single women are more interested in pursuing a man that is less available to them. As predicted, this gender difference in interest was not evident when the participants were in a committed relationship themselves....

According to a recent poll, most women who engage in mate poaching do not think the attached status of the target played a role in their poaching decision (Knadler, 2008), but our study shows this belief to be false. Single women in this study were significantly more interested in the target when he was attached. This may be because an attached man has demonstrated his ability to commit and in some ways his qualities have already been ‘‘pre-screened” by another woman. These findings elucidate the way that gender and relationship status interact to influence mate poaching tendencies.

My guess is that men like to have a little collection of phone numbers and keep a woman vaiguely interested in case nothing better comes up... I don't think men actually ever delete a phone number of a single girl/woman unless they get into a serious relationship...

If you're approaching a woman with no other information about her other than you like the way she looks, it's because you want to have sex with her. You said so yourself earlier. If, at that moment, the only interest you COULD have in her is to have sex, then she's just the object/means to that end.

Woman don't want to be approached by a guy at the gym... AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT SO DO MOST WOMEN ON THIS POST.

he has made several comments that I'm a "nice..good..attractive.. " woman and even suggested meeting for drinks (sans co workers)

Never hit a girl while she is with her friends that is just stupid and insensitive.. I agree with reading body language. Guys can be so clueless.

Take clubs for an example.... I don't accept drinks from men and get told off because these men were "nice enough" to spend their money buying me drinks and sometimes will insist very aggressively that it would be "not nice" of me to say no. Once one of them even said "you're taking it anyway" and poured it over me. The reason I don't accept drinks is because I learned quickly that when I did so, men assumed that doing that meant that I was "interested" and that we would spend the rest of the evening together. When I didn't go home with them, I got called a c*ck tease and a wh*re. I can't dance with men any more, because every time it just ends up with them grinding on me with their hardons. Then, if I accepted a dance with another man later they would come up and yell at me for "leading them on". Sometimes, these men got into fistfights and then I'd have to fend off their female friends who came up to tell me off for "causing" all this. I don't enjoy that kind of attention and this kind of thing happened every time I went, so I just don't go.

I guess I broke it off b/c I have trust issues. B/c I wasn't sure what was going on. B/c I really was an emotional wreck on the inside trying to figure out if his lack of texting me on Monday meant he was no longer interested. I guess I'd rather break it off than be rejected.

....and here I thought most of the answers would be no-'where.'......lol

Re read it with MY intentions..
NO RICH normal men....... aka ................GOLD on pof

Oh my! Come back down to earth. Give head a shake.

Sorry, that that is simply not part of reality.

Anyone who told me that I or any other female in a grocery store was radiating the about requires an immediate 911 call.

It is a grocery store, where people go to buy food, not a bad soap opera.

Well….I have a difficult time imagining a total stranger would think I was "so special" just from seeing me push a cart around at the grocery store. I want a man who sees more in me than what he thinks I can provide for him in bed

Actually, I said I don’t go to the gym…I work out at home.

I don’t know why my personal preference would be considered some quoted ideal world.

Most men I’ve dated have been introduced to me by friends or other people I knew, and usually started out as friends. I’m not receptive to strange men who want to ‘date’ me. That has never worked out well for me. I’ve been approached by men I didn’t know for years and I don’t like it. I wouldn’t be interested in a man I’ve just laid eyes on for the first time.

I’m not perpetually on the make and I don’t want to be approached by someone who is.

The last thing I care about is picking up guys when I’m at the grocery store. I want to get what I need and get the heck out of there. I’ll chitchat with the cashiers for the minutes it takes to cash me out and then I’m gone. I don’t give guys the opportunity to approach me.

It's a myth that you can "meet" women at grocery stores. It gets repeated over and over, but that doesn't make it true. Maybe it's good practice to socialize and talk with people, but that's about it.

The middle ground position is just weak. You can't prove what doesn't exist doesn't exist so maybe it exists because in a world of infinite possibilites you never know what is beyond your capacity to know. Uggg... All I have is... I agree. There is no evidence. I do not know why I believe but I do. I continue to ask myself why.

His excuse for not ending his marriage was his wife's illness and wanting to do the "right thing", but he could have divorced her and supported her through lifelong alimony or establishing a trust for her care.

Where is the honorable in that?

Since this mess was made into what it is by a small group of people PRETENDING that some real estate had way more real value than it did, it seems to me that the debt itself is also an illusion. A bunch of ultra-rich private individuals, and corporate "people" (per the Supreme Courts idiocy) played a game with a lot of fake money that never existed, and then when it was pointed out that it was play money, they demanded that it be replaced by the real thing. I think that the bulk of the "debt" should be erased, and the rich thieves and fools who played the game should forfeit both their entire holdings, and their right to "play" from now on.

They justify their unchecked libidos by saying "my partner did not understand me: or "I only stayed for the sake of the kids" and they make it sound less harmful by calling it a fling or affair with a mistress or lover. But they are sociopathic in their denial....at the very least they selfish liars who have no regard for their partner's feelings and at the worst, they are the person who exposed their partner to AIDs, HIV, STD's and/or the embarrassment of procreating illegitimate children.

As for the saying, I'd take that with a grain of salt, too. I've known several people who could both "do" and "teach" quite well

Quality? On a free dating site? You'd find better quality in real life. Anyone who needs to use online dating to find their 'perfect' person is obviously not cutting it in real life.

‘Success’ by whose definition? When is money or career enough to feel confident in oneself? A confident person defines success for him/herself.

I don't like the idea myself, but it's next on my list of things to try, since nothing else seems to be working. I hear it's kind of a gold mine.
