Why do guy's feel the need to SIZE each other up?.....Fighting! Posted: 11/11/2007 6:57:36 AM
I don't know where you're hanging out, but I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen this happen at random. Every time I've seen a knock down drag out fistfight, it's been for a REASON. I agree with the above poster- women are far more territorial than men are.

Why do men say that? Posted: 11/4/2007 2:37:17 PM
I'm going to go with the "simplest explanation is usually the best" route and say that while they may have considered meeting up again at some point, these men just changed their minds. Women do it all the time and YES! Men do it too! It might have been something you said or did AFTER said comment. He might have simply thought over the date after going home, and decided it wasn't that great. He might have met someone the very next day that knocked his socks off and promptly forgot you existed. honestly, people change their minds for all kinds of reasons. But if you're consistently not getting asked out for a second date, I'm wondering why you never took the initiative and asked these men what went wrong?

Why is it that you contact a guy and get no response. Posted: 11/4/2007 2:32:40 PM
yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say "change that main picture." it's sending out all kinds of messages, and none of them are good.

Do guys like dumb girls? Posted: 10/31/2007 7:15:28 PM
No, men don't like dumb women. But PEOPLE IN GENERAL tend not to date outside of their comfort zone. Joe or Jane Average isn't going to be comfortable dating Mensa members, for instance- but slightly more intelligent can be intriguing.

You think you got it bad? Posted: 10/27/2007 11:54:05 AM
Seems like there was never an uphill? I feel sorry for those poor children who were sired by such total losers. Geeze, go on Oprah or something. I couldn't agree more. All of the hard times in the OP are a direct result of the OP's poor judgement. You know what the definition of insanity is? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result every time. This SHOULD have stopped the first time you found out the woman was scum and cheated on you the first time. The correct response to infidelity is NOT a marriage proposal, btw.

why would a man say he is done but? Posted: 10/24/2007 5:54:07 PM
just going to throw my 2 cents in with everyone else (with the exception of cutiepatutieinga) he's done. made a point of coming by when no one was there, left the key..he's done. There might be a few things, but chances are he just doesn't want to deal with the hassle of getting them right now. Every guy I can think of who's lived with a significant other for a while has done this. Realized they left a few things behind and just said "screw it. I'll deal with it later."

LCD / Plasma / DLP ? Posted: 10/24/2007 5:41:47 PM
Eh, I used to sell TVs back in the day. it IS confusing, even if you're up on this stuff. I didn't bother to read the rest of the responses in the thread, so apologies if there are any repeats here. DLP, Plasma, and LCD are going to be somewhere around the same level of picture quality, depending on the manufacturer. There's a couple reasons why I would probably shy away from DLP though- most importantly being that plasma and LCD have a huge space advantage. they're a lot smaller, and easier to integrate into a room. Second, some people (but not all) will see a rainbowish strobing effect on DLP's that makes them very irritating to watch. Plasma and LCD don't have this problem. One thing I wanted to address in your OP- Plasma sets don't use bulbs. You're thinking of projectors. totally different animal. Neither do LCDs, but you seemed to know that already. Plasma tv's used to have an issue with "burn in"- that being an image left on the tv for a long period of time (like say if you left a movie on pause for oh...several hours) that image would leave a permanent "ghost" image on the screen. This issue has largely gone away by now, but you may still want to be careful if you watch a lot of things with letterboxing, or are forgetful. LCD's are totally immune to this and will never burn in, ever. I've left mine on for over a day with a game on pause with no ill effects. (I'm lazy AND forgetful, lol.) They DO have issues with something called "response time" that plasmas do not though- cheaper LCD's can blur an image if there's some particularly fast moving action on the screen. I have a pretty good one (A sharp Aquos, which I love) and still see the occasional ghosting during sporting events. There's a lot more, but those are the basics. Your best bet is to head down to the local circuit city or best buy and look for yourself to see what looks best for you. Then leave the store and buy the set online for much cheaper since those places will screw you on prices. :)

Why is it guys do this? Posted: 10/19/2007 6:10:16 PM
ok to the idiot who said I am lying about a few extra pounds.... First off you didn't look at my face... Do I have a double chin... no... so that means other parts of my body are not as heavy... I am 5'10 1/2... I am a very "stockily" built woman, I work out about 6 times a week, and by that I mean cross-training and weight training... I am "chubby" however I am not fat, and I refuse to fall into that category. Also, I happen to have 40DDD's, like mr.Fahrenheit said, boobs count for some weight... I am not a skinny woman, but I certainly do not consider myself fat... I don't eat junk food or fast food and I live a healthy lifestyle, you are idiotic... hmm...it's a shame i missed this response yesterday. I love a good debate. OP, it wasn't really my intent to flame you, but if you're going to start calling names, the gloves WILL come off. as someone else pointed out, you yourself brought up weight as an issue in your original post, and on perusing your profile it seems your body description is a bit misleading. This MAY indicate something that needs to be addressed with your mental state, since if you've convinced yourself that you're "not really" obese, then one wonders what else you're not being truthful with yourself about. This can and will have an impact on future relationships. now, as for the weight issue, I don't HAVE to "look at your pictures." thanks to the miracle of modern science, combined with your forum posts, I can calculate your BMI! Amazing! At 5'10 and 250 pounds, you're looking at a BMI (that's body mass index, or percentage of your frame that's fat) of 35.9 let's see where that places you on the standard BMI scale: * Underweight = <18.5 * Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 * Overweight = 25-29.9 * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater now, BMI is for the most part, an approximation- but you're rocking a 35.9. That's far past overweight territory, and well into obese. Since your pictures show you to be neither elderly, nor excessively muscular (both of which could account for a misleading BMI) I'm just going to go ahead and assume accuracy here to be mostly a non-issue. Of course, since I'm apparently an "idiot" what do I know? Science and common sense can't possibly compete with fuzzy pics.

250 is "a few extra pounds" now? I think some of us are being a bit liberal with these descriptions.

The admin of this site had no intention of that term being used for intimate encounters. Original intent is irrelevant, as it seems that's what it's become.

Do guys like receiving flowers? Posted: 10/17/2007 7:25:51 PM
A good rule of thumb is that men like gifts that DO things. that have function or purpose. You want to get a man a gift? food, gadgets, tools..something in line with his hobbies, if you know of them. Women like things that look pretty, but are otherwise useless. Flowers, jewelry, expensive lingerie. you get the drift. drop the flowers idea.

This guy seems to have no class, and quite possibly no common sense. It doesn't exactly speak well of a guy when the most important thing on their mind prior to meeting you is "do you have big tits?" That you're still considering this guy is insane. You deserve to be treated a lot better than this.

Can men just be friends with women? (Activity Partner) Posted: 10/17/2007 4:49:08 PM
Of course they can. It's silly to assert otherwise HOWEVER WHAT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE AWARE OF is that listing yourself as being interested in an "activity partner" seems to have sexual connotations around these parts. I don't know why, but that's the way it is. If you're looking for a gym buddy or something, I'd suggest setting your filter to "friends" and listing exactly what type of friendship you're looking for in your profile. If the guy is serious in his intentions, he'll pick up on it.

Ignorance factor Posted: 10/14/2007 1:17:42 PM
No offense to Americans, but I've found that generally they are not exposed to, and seem to have little interest in, the rest of the world unless it's something that makes headline news. No offense taken. Anyone who actually lives here is aware there's a LARGE section of the population that's "willfully ignorant" as I like to call it. No urge to know anything outside of the limits of their daily routine, and (inexplicably) extremely proud of it. This isn't just limited to other countries either. Americans typically have extremely limited knowledge of their OWN geography and history, most don't vote (even for presidential elections, it's less than 50%) and even of those that do, most have no idea who their elected officials even ARE. It's just a sad fact that knowledge just isn't valued here.

Seems perfect, except they just don't smell right? Posted: 9/30/2007 10:05:29 AM
There's no shortage of cultures there to whom garlic, onions and similar odoriferous vittles are daily sine qua non staples. So the Greek guy who's smelled of garlic since he was born is sexy but the American guy who had a piece of garlic bread with his pasta for lunch is disgusting? The French waiter who hasn't showered since last Tuesday and has never used deodorant in his life is dreamy, but the American guy who uses his deodorant stick less than 4 times daily is gross? "natural" body odor is affected greatly by diet and overall health. deodorants, etc can help cover up one's odor a little bit, but they're not foolproof. The diet of your typical american is abysmal compared to the diets of those overseas. We eat a lot of fatty, sugary things, and a LOT of meat, and not a lot of fresh veggies or a balanced diet. From personal experience, foreign women also seem to have a nicer "natural" smell than americans in general (I can't say I go around smelling the men) though it is hard to tell sometimes with all the perfume some of you gals layer on.

Fake Nails Posted: 9/22/2007 11:50:49 AM
Someone once told me that a lot of the primping women do is for the benefit of other women. Women will be catty and judgemental about another woman's shoes, nails, hairstyle, makeup choices, etc- Men by and large do not give a damn about your nails. Real, fake...whatever. Go nuts. In the entire time I've been on this planet, not ONCE have I heard a guy comment on the choice of fingernail polish his girlfriend has, or whether or not the purse matches the shoes. The carpet matching the curtains is another matter entirely though.

How you handle a pissed off girlfriend. Posted: 9/22/2007 11:37:55 AM
If you've been dating for a few months, you definitely should give apologizing or sending flowers or something a shot. Definitely don't just write off the relationship due to one minor argument. Fights happen. how you handle them means the difference between a good relationship and a bad one.

Two ways to look at it.... Posted: 9/22/2007 11:25:04 AM
dating online has the same pitfalls as meeting and dating IRL. It's not a candy store where you can pick and choose a partner with no hassle. in both cases there will be hurdles to jump, obstacles to navigate, etc..only perhaps MORE so online since from my experience a lot of those look to love online after running out of options elsewhere, or having a bad breakup, looking for a change, etc.

you're going to have to stop being afraid of being confrontational and tell him what you do and do not like. Men do NOT TAKE HINTS WELL so you're going to have to be fairly explicit. "turning your head" won't work at all, and will most likely end up hurting his feelings more than just telling him what the problem is.

GUYS , HAVE YOU EVER DATED A WOMAN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND NOT MAKE A Posted: 8/7/2007 10:14:45 PM
What the hell? Out of respect? so it's "disrespectful" for a man to desire sex with a woman, or vice versa? Is sex dirty and something to be ashamed of now? please. this is silly. Too awkward or shy? This isn't junior high. If a guy is already dating the woman, what on earth is there to be awkward about? As for ED, there are dozens of prescriptions around that render this a non issue. Embarrassed of your own body image? Chances are she has a pretty good idea of what you look like, even if you try to hide it under a dozen turtlenecks. If a man was THAT concerned about his body image, (unlikely) he'd hit the gym and stop complaining about it. If a man is holding back from sexual intimacy on religious or moral grounds that's one thing. But out of fear? Perhaps he's not ready for a relationship and should focus his attentions elsewhere. I'd recommend therapy, and lots of it.

i do need to know im making a new email pretending to be the guy she used to like and maybe still does stuff with and im going to pretend its him and not me obviously and i want to find out but i dont want to be heart broken this is unbelievably stupid. If you're not mature enough to be able to confront your partner honestly instead of playing games and trying to "catch" her doing something, maybe you shouldnt be in a relationship. maybe you should be working on growing the hell up instead. what happens if she ISNT cheating on you, and finds out that not only do you not trust her, but you're going behind her back trying to trick her? Guess what? you'll have just blown your own relationship, smart guy.

Why are children a problem? Posted: 8/6/2007 10:40:03 PM
(I really hope that made some sort of sense. ;-) It does. I think what you're getting at is that if a woman finds herself a single mother at a young age, then either her judgment or relationship skills might be lacking. It's certainly a valid concern, but I tend not to jump to this conclusion immediately- sometimes s*** happens to otherwise good people.

What does he really want? Posted: 8/6/2007 5:43:09 PM
Iv been a memeber here for about a month now and its a really great site... but does it really work??? It's easier for some than it is for others. I have one female friend in particular here that seems to get about a date a week or so. She's not a perfect "10" but she is in good shape and reasonably intelligent. Been reading thru the profiles and it seems like all the guys want perfection. completely false. Men want someone who takes decent care of themselves and isn't a self centered golddigger. you want more positive responses? Put up a photo. 99% of the time, the message that NOT having a photo sends is worse than having a bad one. They either want a barbie type False. Men are LESS likely to contact a woman who they perceive as "out of their league" or they want someone that is a rocket scentis show me ONE profile with a guy looking for a rocket scientist. Doesn't exist. We can be intimidated by brainiacs, too you know. or perfect features. Again, false. you seem very hung up on the physical aspect. It needs to be there. anyone who says otherwise is not being honest with themselves. But no reasonable individual is going to demand physical perfection, especially from a dating site.

Why are children a problem? Posted: 8/6/2007 5:27:12 PM
Let's be upfront and honest. I'm a young, single guy who has made a concious choice NOT to have children, because it's a severe restriction on my freedom, and makes it difficult or sometimes impossible to do what I want to do. Not just in terms of going out and "having fun" but also in terms of schooling, career..the whole 9 yards. Now, considering all that, when considering a relationship with a woman who has children, vs. a woman who doesn't, the woman with children is at an immediate disadvantage. I'm not just in a relationship with YOU, I'm also in a relationship with your child (in a manner of speaking) AND potentially yet another with your "baby's daddy" or ex husband who may be in and out of the picture, depending on the circumstances. I'm sure you love your children and they're the world to you, but that's not the case for me. I can GROW to love them if my feelings for you are strong enough, but until then they're just "someone else's kids" and something I just have to "put up with" and schedule my life around if I want a relationship with you. Quite honestly, unless you're absolutely one in a million (and these people exist, but they're exceedingly rare) in terms of looks, intellect, talent, what have you- it's simply easier and more prudent to keep looking for someone else without the baggage.

pre-arranged marriages! Posted: 7/31/2007 10:29:36 PM
Aren't all marriages pre-arranged by God? of course not. Assuming said god exists (not going into that here) it's generally assumed that that level of predestination would seriously compromise free will. i.e. If your marriage (or any aspect of your life) was already pre-planned out for you, are you truly responsible for your actions? What's the point of sin then? Or salvation? ah, I'm off topic. carry on.

Why men love damned wretch bitchy women? Posted: 7/30/2007 12:21:18 PM
Men don't love **y women. It's just that the correlation between how hot a girl is, and how **y she gets is pretty damn high. Not 100%, but close. Hot girls can (and usually do) get away with murder, and it can have a bad effect on one's personality after a while. Men are just more willing to put up with crappy behavior in exchange for eye candy.

In my younger days? sure, plenty of times. Men tell women what they want to hear all the time. Eventually though, in any relationship where the sex is all you really have, someone will get bored, decide they need "more" and move on. Is your man doing this to you? impossible to say. he might be genuine, he might be the world's biggest player. use your judgement and hope for the best.

The ex-died Posted: 7/9/2007 10:58:42 PM
Yes, it's a really, really awful petty thing to be mad at someone who is sad at another's passing, especially someone they were close to. On a scale of 1 to 10 on the reprehensible scale, it rates around a 9. Would you be mad at a friend who lost a child in the same way, even if that child made poor choices? of course not. stop being petty, be the bigger person, and show some support. Men tend not to wear their emotions on their sleeves. If he doesn't appear to be sad, he could be slightly upset, totally heartbroken, or not at all. You'll just have to ask him.

Need a male perspective on this situation Posted: 7/9/2007 10:37:35 PM
So a guy is up front about wanting to have sex with you, and you are considering blowing him off for being honest about it? what a terrible thing to do. news flash: 99% of men are considering sleeping with you on the first date, ESPECIALLY when there's heavy petting involved. Just because he wants to sleep with you, doesn't mean he isn't interested in "you." He's a man. this is how we are. 6 dates is MORE than a reasonable enough time to bring it up. he's just making his intentions known instead of beating around the bush. What would you rather have him do? be sneaky about it the next time you're cuddling? Be grateful you have a guy that's straight with you about what he's feeling.

NEED SOME COOL WATER SPORT IDEAS Posted: 7/9/2007 8:12:13 PM
you know you've been on the internet too long when "water sports" conjures up a COMPLETELY different image

Tattoos and Piercings Posted: 7/8/2007 8:06:37 PM
Personally? I can't stand the things. I've dated women with huge back pieces, sleeves, and all kinds of things and quite honestly winced when I saw them, if I wasn't actively ignoring them. A woman with a lot of ink and piercings on the outside has always seemed to me like she was overcompensating for lack of substance on the inside. not being rude, just how I see it.

What do men like? Posted: 7/8/2007 8:03:31 PM
This should be obvious, but it's not an east coast/west coast thing. just a matter of personal preference. Ask 50 random guys what they "like" and you'll get 50 different answers. As long as you're comfortable and happy with what you look like, guys will pick up on this and respond to it.

I don't get it!!! Posted: 7/7/2007 10:42:41 PM
I find that the women who send me an email are typically nice people, with thoughtful things to say. Glad to have met them. The women that use the instant messenger to talk to me without you know..sending me a message to introduce themselves first are ALWAYS terrible, terrible people. I'm with you. have a way to block or get rid of the dang thing

At what point do you stop? Posted: 7/2/2007 9:06:36 PM
I AM CURIOUS..cause I see a lot of other super nice women who are bigger who are still single and often get "hit on" for a quick shag. In the long run though, these same men run. you mean man-whores who will hit on anything for a quickie tend not to stick around for committed relationships? Imagine that. Curiously though these hit and run men are never Brad Pitt types and it amazes me that there is this double standard. players come in all shapes and sizes. though the "brad pitt" types would obviously have better dating prospects, and thus are rarely seen with larger or otherwise less desirable women. I fail to see a double standard here...some men are simply only as faithful as their options, but some have more options than others.

Why? Posted: 7/2/2007 2:07:38 PM
OP, I'm assuming this is your relationship? A better question would be why are you still holding onto this guy, knowing he's simply stringing you along until he has better options available? Stop wasting time, ditch him, and find someone who respects you.

Does he like me? Posted: 7/2/2007 2:01:42 PM
sounds like it. but OP, if you've already met, been out on a date, and kissed the guy- why not call him on the phone? it's a little more personal and direct than an email.
