Girls Night Out
Posted:
3/13/2007 9:18:12 AM
I never go to nightclubs if I'm in a commited relationship. I would also expect the same from the person I'm seeing. As for getting together with the girls and doing other things such as seeing movies or going out to dinner that's something else. Us females still need our time just to "be girls".
Now, you're the kind of woman one can take home to mom and dad. Way to go. :-)

Using the Search function.
Posted:
3/13/2007 9:12:17 AM
Sometimes, when I do a thread search on a particular topic, I find the topic I am looking for, however, that thread is closed or locked, because it TOO was a redundant topic, and what's funny is, the moderator that closes or locks it states, "Use the search function before posting reduntant topics". LOL.
But I don't know there's anyway to correct that though, and just get what information you can out of the locked topic that you did a keyword search on.
That's pretty ironic, isn't it?

Why do women equate sex with committment...
Posted:
3/13/2007 8:59:00 AM
Why is it that women in general automatically assume that having sex with someone means committment. Just curious, they often say they understand and are mature enough to have sex as consenting adults, yet once it happens all shit breaks loose.
That's kind of a silly question, dontcha think??

I never date women that frequent nightclubs on a WEEKLY basis. I can perhaps not have a problem with it, like being...1 time every few months.

I'm just curious, perhaps it has to do with me living in a smaller city. But most of my friends , that are married or living together....just dont' feel the need to do the nightclub thing anymore, and just prefer doing things together as a couple.
Some of their single friends would try to talk one of them out of the house to go to a club, but they are like, "Nah, wife wouldn't like me doing that" or vice-versa. But he's okay with it anyways, because he prefers to be with his/her spouse on a Sat night anyways.

exactly what does hangout mean?
Posted:
3/13/2007 5:39:56 AM
To me hang out means just as is says, Hang out , watch movies eat pizza play pool, throw water balloons, hanging out . There is an option for slutting it up and thats intaite incounter. I have hang out on mine and in no way does that mean i want a man to come over and touch me . lol I am not a prude but hang out means chilling and getting to kow eachother that s it .
If I wanted to "Hang out" , I'd do it with my male buddies, sorry, but I prefer to touch women eventually.

Posted:

i put hangout on my profile but now i am a little confused about what that means...i saw it on another womans profile and evidently it might mean more than just getting to know someone...is that true?
Personally, I think they allow too many of those options on the dropdown menu. I believe they should drop the
Hang out (we're not here to hang out, we're here to date).
Activity Partner (that's redundant)
Talk/Email (this is a dating site, we want to meet you face to face, don't want pen pals)
Photo Exchange (what in the world is THAT for I have no idea)
"Other Relationship" (Huh?? Like having affairs?)
Intimate Encounter (Affairs again?)
Friends (possibly this one, though it's probably the men that aren't her for "Let's just be friends" lol)

When did divorce become a status symbol?
Posted:
3/12/2007 7:36:18 PM
I was not raised Catholic. That comment was relative to a Catholic gentleman that wanted to have a fling with me. He said that divorce was not approved by the Catholic church, but apparently adultery is okay?
It's adultery only if you're married and sleeping with someone else.

Exactly, why should the boyfriend stay home twiddling his thumbs, watching TV, etc., when he would probably prefer to be out with his lady that night.
Believe me, I've been spending that time at home on a Sat night while I'm single, I'll be damned if I'm going to do it if I'm involved with someone.

Going out with her girlfriends is certainly not inappropriate....you just have to trust that her intentions are pure. Time apart to do things with your friends is healthy in any relationship.
There are other alternatives to nightclubs and bars.

Do you still go to the Clubs to Dance
Posted:
3/12/2007 2:25:41 PM
I haven't been to a nightclub in years, mainly due to the fact, I just don't like going to nightclubs. I typically prefer doing other activities instead.
I think the only time I'd go to a nightclub, is if I had a date.
They're just not my thing anymore, the loud music, the smoke, etc.
Ever seen those personal ads, "Tired of the club scene?" LOL....that's me. 'cept I forgot to put it in the ad.
Even if I did like doing it, my friends are all married, and stay home. And I wouldn't like going by myself anyways.

Ok what about trust here people? If you truly care for someone you should trust them 100% in ANY situation...regardless of who they are with or where they are going!
Has nothing to do with trust, has to do with what is , and what is not appropriate.

I say let'em have there girls night out...This coming from a guy who was engaged to be married until she went on a girls night out and never came home...Well, she came home to get her stuff...But, seriously, I trusted her and she messed up, now she's gone...She accused me of never being jealous or protective...i.e. she was pissed that I did'nt care about her going on girls nights out
Exactly, there's some women that dump their men just because they never cared enough to be concerned about them going out on a "girls night out". I think some women tend to "Try" their men to see if they care. Usually NOT caring about what your woman does, might cause her to dump you as well.
Some women want their men to get a little jealous.

After a 1st date how do you feel when your date asks????
Posted:
3/12/2007 7:13:23 AM
They use the phone to make plans to see someone, then once they are in the company of that person, they are right back on the phone, making plans to see someone else. They believe that the more people that they have on their list, the more important they are.
Exactly!!
This is also true with those "Social Networking" websites....where they have 100's of friends in order to "look cool" just because they have a bunch of friends they dont' know.
There was this dude at a singles pool party, a very relaxed environment, that was on his blue tooth half the time, running around the BBQ pit and pool, and talking to whomever was on the phone. He looked like an idiot.
"Hey, look at me, I'm on on the phone, I like to appear BUSY, in order to impress people!!"

Here's an idea.....don't let users TYPE in everything just to hit the submit button and get that message. How bout do it after you hit the "Reply" button? So we won't spend all that time typing up a response.

Girls Night Out
Posted:

If a woman is in a relationship, she has NO BUSINESS WHAT SO EVER hanging out at a bar with her single friends. Girls night out is for single women ONLY. If she wants to hang out with her friends, there is nothing wrong with going shopping, getting hair and nails done, or a lunch.
Be very careful with this woman. Looks like she wants to have her cake and eat it too!
Wow, bella, I don't hear too many women saying this.
I live in an area, where my married friends (or involved, doesn't matter) they "stay in" most of the time, or if they do go out, it's during the day at a fleamarket, the movies, or shopping at the mall, they typically spend time together as a couple, which is normal.
The ONLY time I think a woman/man should go to an nightclub, is when she's WITH HER Signicant Other. I expect to be with my lady as her date, if we decide to go to a nightclub.
Yep, just ME and HER. I find it unacceptable to do this kind of activity without your boyfriend or husband.
But, the people I know don't even do that, so they kind of do more domesticated activities, like hiking canoeing, the beach, etc. Also, THEIR friends don't go out either, so they all seem to know that going out to a nightclub is fau paux or just something that doesn't interest them anymore.
For the arguement "Well, if he can have a boys night out, I can have a girls night out!"
SOrry, but I'm not interested in "Boys Nights Out" lol.
Another thing, I'm 34 and I'm kind of over the whole nightclub thing since I was in my mid 20's (college years), and not much of a nightclub person to begin with, so if I meet a woman that likes doing this, there's going to be an issue.
Note to self: "Since I don't frequent nightclubs, don't date a woman that frequents nightclubs." Pretty simple. :-)

Favorites List?????
Posted:
3/12/2007 5:24:04 AM
I think the Favourite's List is one of the negative things I personally found with this site. People put alot of emphasis and talk in it. I wish administration would give us the option whether or not we want others to see how many people are on the list. I think the information should be personal. I have rewrote my profile just to put in a paragraph telling people not to add me to their list. Personally I could care less whether people add me/delete me, or their reasons why, but I received enough hate mail because of it, that I had to start my own recycling plant!
I think the point of the favorites list is the equivalent to like Mspace's friends list......it's kind of an ego fulfillment for those online.
Esp with women who have seductive photos of them posing in sexy poses. They enjoy the attention.

The High Heel factor
Posted:
3/11/2007 12:47:47 PM
I am 5'5 and generally wear sneakers or other flats....but my heels can be up to 6". I don't rule out men because of their height, but rather because of their SIZE.
If a man can bench 4 plates, I don't care how tall he is....I would be interested. Unfortunately, very few men of ANY height can manage that.
Woah....Fox, are you the gorgeous red-head on the bed there?

Yeah, there's something not humble about saying "I'm attractive" in your profile.
I mean, how many average looking people say, "I am an average looking guy".?

I am 5'2, and I let ppl know how tall I am, then the guy usually says" do you wear heels", and I do, the only time I dont is at the gym or on the beach.
Man, you could wear heels and still be short. lol....yet I've known women your ht. to factor in the heels. lol.

Well, if someone is at least willing to "give a guy a shot at a short lunch date", more power to them, but there are some people that don't even get that far.
I was an "online pen-pal" to a female in my area that was single and available, but she "wasn't quite ready yet to meet" or kept coming up with excuses...this went on for 3 months, but online AND in phone calls.
Apparently, there is MORE appeal in JUST the communication than in meeting in person.

Better question ... why do guys always say they're 4" taller than they really are?
Hm, maybe there's a trend here, perhaps I might have better luck if I start stating I'm 4" taller.

OP: Have you taken into consideration alot of people are on here to "DATE".
Um...that's what I figured. Dating is the pre-lude to see if the individual you are dating will indeed wind up being a possible future girlfriend/boyfriend.

Kickin Back, your posts seems to pretty much describe in one big blanket statement, VERY true.
We are plugged into this world, and some people have succumed to the technology in order to AVOID people even.
I noticed a high incidence of people screening their messages, as opposed to RETURNING their messages, regardless since that's the machine's SOUL purpose.
Why by an answering matchine/service, if you're NOT going to return your calls? Sell phones seem to be the portable answering machines of the world, I see people whose phone rings, look at it to see who it is, and close it back up, and put it back in their pocket.
It's a great tool for those women who give out their numbers to a guy, then the guy calls her just so she can screen it. lol.

I don't know that. In fact, that can't be true in terms of an online site such as this one. It might be true to a limited extent in real life (if the "short guy" can force you into a corner where you actually have to evaluate his personality and not simply pass your eyes over him). It seems a lot of women are only evaluating men over a certain height cutoff (usually two inches taller than the woman when she's wearing heels). That's not a preference, it's a requirement. And it's shallow.
Yeah, that's a good point, in person, if a 5'8" man stops to talk to another single woman, she's a "captured audience" and is not behind the safety of the computer. lol
She's put in a position to get to know how he is, as opposed to deleting his email in haste.
Requirement = HAVE to have
Preference = It would be NICE to have, but if not...THAT'S okay too.

Why do hot girls never give a chance to an average looking guy?
Posted:
3/11/2007 9:51:52 AM
dude it's unfortunate but a reality....hot women look for hot men for their "genes" and potential mate....
Honestly, I don't think people are concerned of how "attractive" their kids will look, bercause if the kid turned out ugly, he/she would only have a face a mother could love. LOL.

sounds like preference to me.
It's not a preference that I'm talking about, it's a strict criteria or requirement.
A "preference" is something that would be nice to have, but if you don't get it, that's OK too.
For example, a man "prefers" C-cup boobs or bigger, but, it' s okay if she's a B-Cup.

I am 5'8", but no point in talking about what is displayed in my profile, we're here to talk about the whole "High Heel" issue with ht. obsessed women.
Because I am not here seeking a lady, so that's a moot point.

The "High Heel" factor
Posted:
3/11/2007 6:52:55 AM
I was reading the quite lengthy but interesting "men who lie about their ht." thread. And I figured, I didn't read all of it, because it was pretty long. lol. However, I figured I'd take it up a notch.
I figured I'd make this a seperate thread, because I would consider this a thread of significance.
Just when you thought a woman was ht. obessed, she takes it up a notch.
"Well, I am 5'6", but when I wear heels, I am 5'10"." Thus she won't date a 5'8" or 5'9" or even a man who is 5'10".
Okay, single ladies, first of all, you weren't born with high heels on, and they aren't considered part of your body. They do not count nor factor in when it comes to ht.
I knew of this already tall woman, she was 6 feet tall without her heels on, she dated a guy that was 5'11", but she never wore heels most of the time when she was with him, then one day, they went to an event where she wore heels, well, she wound up looking taller than him. Even better, she dumped him because of it. LOL.
Any ladies here include their high heels when looking for a prospective mate?

It's nice to be an 8, 9, or 10 because, most of the people they are attracted to, are also attracted to them. Those below 5's especially have a difficult time finding someone because most people don't find those less than average attractive and they hate to settle for those they can get.
Well, esp if you're living in a small town, they might want to consider "settling" , but it's not really "settling" if you think you can do better, or find the BBD.
I live in a somewhat small city, and once in a while I'd see a "new face" pop up in a search, and they have no kids, never been married, college educated, my type. She just moved into an "oasis" of non-singles or very few singles.
There's this one woman, lives in my area, and has lived in this area forever (Becuase I've seen her in real life since my early college days, I'd see her around town alot, the past couple of years, she's been active on the site, but has ignored my email a couple of times.
Sometimes my suggestion to some of these women, "You need to get out of this city, if you really want find what you're looking for, because you'll be destined for singledon for your entire life, for as long as you live here."
Yes, just plain RE-locate. But they sometimes still stick around.
In the "old days" in small villages, people settled because there was a very limited selection. Of course this isn't the old days anymore.

Funny though if you've seen them on these sites all these years ? wouldn't you also be one of those faces ? ask your self why you have been using the internet that long and there's your answer.
Actually I haven't really been using the internet to meet single people as much as I used to, which was about a year ago, though I occasionally send out an emial, but mostly I've been dabbling in real world activities, like hiking and outdoor groups, paintball, building Social Capital.
Thing is though,h during that stint of me using the net, I can only attribute my periods of long droughts between being able to actually LAND a date (face to face , to get to that point), have been pretty far apart.
Granted, I just have run into alot of people who just ignore the emails OR, flake out and stop correspondence after about 3 or 4 email sessions. Basically, they first they happily correspond, seemlingy interested, and this makes you say (wow, I finally landed a "fish" this time) only it hops out of the boat. I've seen those "Disappearing act" threads on here, so I think alot of those have read them already. They just wind up being short-term pen-pals.
There's not too much stability in internet dating these days, you just have to roll with the punches. People have a plethera to choose from, of course THIS guy is a hunk, but wait....over there...there's ANOTHER hunk.

Also, they feel emboldened by the popularity of the bad boy image, and feel that either way they have nothing to lose.
True Coffee, might as well go into it with that approach that you have nothing to lose.

Had he been by himself, I might have stopped to chat with him briefly. However, I don't feel comfortable interfacing with an interested guy while his friends sits there right besides him. It gives me a clear disadvantage and my gut instincts told me that those eyes weren't good ones...I trust my gut before anyone else's opinion.
Now you know how men feel about approaching women in groups.
I have to say, you could be right, going with your gut I suppose, I don't think I would have done what he did, but I have approached women in public like in a line to a cashier (if she happens to be in front or behind me)
Or while she's browsing a magazine at a store, stuff like that, when it seems better to approach. Coffee shop perhaps?

Down To Earth:
Well, maybe I'm judging her, but I wonder how right I am about said person.
As far as my profile, it is indeed different on other sites, even a picture is present. I've discovered reason being, is because I don't find too many people in my area on this site as much as the other sites.
Well, I would have to surmise, that I am not all that picky, esp. when it comes to looks. I've contacted the plainest looking of women (on other sites) to good-looking ones.
It doesn't take much for me to be physically attracted.
It's funny, because I would point a young lady out that I found attractive, and they'd go "ew", when , at least to me, I think she's cute as all get-out!. lol
I know men that find Jenny McCarthy unattractive or women that look like her. Yeah, wierd, huh?
You can kind of guage someone by that.

I can vouch for what Blast goes through. I don't have a car, and every day, it's the same. Cars beeping and stopping to "give me a ride" when I am just walking, men cornering me in groups, saying stuff to me all the time. (I use headphones for this) And on the bus, it gets worse, sitting next to me, and trying to have a conversation is fine. But they will give me a number, want to force me for mine, continuously say crap to me, so I have to move from the seat I paid for. And this is just out on the streets!
Personally, I think you should lighten up, though rude comments like the OP stated that she gets are unacceptable. The whole "cat-calling" is fun for some single men. I had a female friend that made "Kissy" faces at some guys at a traffic light, just for fun, no big deal.
Good, trying to have conversations with you is fine, that's good, that's what I do, I attempt to converse with women (even then they seem a little stand-offish, and I get this "why is he talking to me??" look on her face, lol)
Online, I get 20-30 mails a day, with "f-me" to "let's do it" to whatever, and people I'ming me getting mad I won't just meet up with them out of the blue. I know my pics on here now might initiate some of it, but I got that when the pics were just happy face shots of me too or nothing remotely seductive. I accept the online stuff a bit cause of how I present myself, but I often tell people men are just "noise" at times to me, because there is just too much volume, and there are only a few who stand out each day that I might want to talk to. No one's perfect, and if they do complement my photos or such, I will say thank you. But to expect me to be a ho or something or whatever, that's not cool.
Actually, I saw your pictures, with the "naughty little girl suckin' on a lollypop", I feel no sympathy for you there. With pictures like that, men WILL indeed think you "put out" or ready to give up the "tang".
By the way, being 34 years old, and with pictures like that? Mmmm...I dunno, might want to change that line-up. LOL.

Is this the new trend for approaching women?

I will settle for no less than someone I am interested in PERIOD.
See, the thing is.....people are probably interested in their list of candidates, however, they are thinking "Well I could do better".
So it's not the matter of "Settling" but it's the matter of "I could do better than this man/woman."

Ugh, I was at the post office the other day, oh, about a week ago.
And these two guys are in there, obviously finishing up whatever business they had, obviously close buddies.
So, as I walk in, one suddenly bolts in his tracks and looks at me stunned and says "HI!"
I said "hi" back and walked to the kiosk. It felt a bit weird since he was with a friend and I felt centered out, a bit uncomfortable.
I thought all was well, mailed my letters, as I go to leave, guess who's standing at the door with his friend? This guy!
He says "you're very beautiful miss"...and I was wondering, could I get your phone number?
I said "sorry, I have a boyfriend" and walked out.
Don't corner me at the exit point and don't freaking group up by twos to approach me. I felt intimidated, and hovered over...it was just creepy.
What the OP stated , with what the men said to her...was rude and insulting.
You...on the other hand, I found nothing wrong with it. Blast kiss, you should have at least given that guy points for being bold. But, don't want to throw you under the bus, but you're the reason men don't approach single women. Might want to change that attitude of yours. Heck at LEAST say, start the sentence with "Thank you....I have a boyfriend."
You're the reason why people are probably staying single these days. It's your attitude. If you think about it, approaching a woman at a post office or anywhere for that matter is pretty much "Cold Turkey" and single men are really limited on how to "open up" with a conversation.
Might want to lighten up , Blast.

Hm, 4th date...that's kind of a judgement call on that one.
I think you acted in haste by telling him "see ya" to be honest with you. Personally, I think you should have taken him aside later on and discussed the issue with him, that perhaps you're not ready to be a "girfriend" just yet, and continued dating him.
It might have been a mistake to get rid of him so quickly.

"But hey, OP, if you feel compelled to msg her, then by all means, go to it!You never know, there ARE some success stories out here."
Actually, this particular woman, at the time, never appeared on POF until recently, apparently she just discovered it, she spent many years on the "match.com" and other paid sites, I guess she "stumbled upon" this one.
I had emailed her a good while back. I'm thinking, "Well, if she's been on these websites for years, turning down decent guys, what good is a brand new website going to do her? lol"
I did email her, still.....no response. lol After that long, her standards are still the same apparently.
1. She lives in a rural community
2. You'd figure, that her, and people like her would start to look at themselves thinking that they should start reassessing their standards or priorities.
Say for instance, you live in a small town. There are 10 single men, and 10 single women, everyone else in town is married.
Okay, I would have to say about 80% of these people aren't all that physically attractive (I think that is what it boils down to here). If you had no choice, but for man to "consider" a perhas more chunky woman, and a woman to consider dating a short guy, would you consider that these choices might be the only choices you got?
All I'm saying is, there are LIMITS of the 25 or 50 mile radius of the choices in men and women on singles sites, you stay on the site long enough, you'll start seeing the same people you rejected awhile back, and like I said, I think that person should re-consider their standards. Perhaps they should consider dating that "short" guy, or the nerdy looking woman or whatever they don't find all that appealing to them.
I'm sure this woman has, over the years, have gotten tons of emails from men, and probably turned down a whole bunch. But, if she is still, after all these years, turning down "Average Joes", and are starting to see the same "average joes" over and over again.
The "Average Joes/Janes" will perpetually remain single for as long as the people who are rejecting them.
So, here we have a "Pool" if you will....of single people in a region/area that aren't doing squat with one another. And, to be honest, it's kind of a shame.

Ever noticed a personal ad of someone that has been on some of these sites for probably years on end, that are still active on these dating sites?
For example there is a woman in my area, I think she has had personal ads on multiple sites at multiple times, and this must have been going on for years with her. I think I emailed her 2 years back, but of course, no response.
I've considered emailing her again (after this long) thinking "Well, perhaps she'll reconsider me since she's had no luck yet?"
Don't mean to judge, but I think this is one of the reasons people remain perpetually single, I mean it's good to be picky, but come on, I think it's time to start at least giving these "same faces" through-out the years a second shot, right?
When you start seeing the same faces, you finally realized there's a limitation of single men/women in that 50 mile radius, that one should possibly have no choice but to date this pool. I think one would come to the realization. At first, the people you see are new when you first sign up, however, after about a year, it is inevitible you WILL start seeing the same people again.
Kind of like going in one BIG circle, and coming back to the beginning again.

"How stupid do you guys think women are? Favorites list ... I don't know what your talking about ... OMG!!!!!!!!!!"
The 18 year olds are probably because they are favoriting BSGrl's profile for later so they can gratify themselves to her photos.

What happened to the health club scene ?

No worries there, just find a woman who isn't using an IPod.
You see, alot of women have just did themselves a disservice by finding reasons to not let men approach them, the gym is just one of many venues for this.
Alot of women, at least the ones that claim they hate it when a man tries to talk to them at a gym. Are the ones that have no interest in men in the first place more than likely, there's just not a high demand for single men by single women these days.
Another example, ever noticed those "ladies nights" . The purpose of ladies nights, is to keep the men happy, to keep them company with women.
Incentive actually needs to be used to get women to go to an establishment. It's pretty bad when you have to use motivational tactics to get women to do stuff. LOL.

"honestly, if i go to the gym, i might admire a guy (or for that matter, a woman) with an impressive physique but i'm certainly not going to waste my time looking for somebody there. i'm more focused on my workout, i probably wouldn't even notice if a guy was trying to pick me up."
Yeah, that's why it's good to make it as obvious as possible by just asking the lady out or getting her number.
That way, she'll notice

guys trying to pick you up at a gym is one of my biggest pet peeves. I'm there to do my thing....not start a conversation with some random guy who might end up stalking me from machine to machine.
personally...if I'm at the gym...leave me the F*** alone & let me work out in peace.
Woah, Sass393 Sounds like you're part of the problem when it comes to dating. I really don't see the harm in approaching a lady that's in between work-outs or is actually done working out and cooling off.
It's all in the timing really, I wouldn't interrupt her during her reps or whatever.
Sometimes, if I see a woman walking on a treadmill, I'll grab an empty one right next to her, while all the others are empty.
