I'm not attracted to women my age.
Posted:
9/5/2007 9:50:50 AM
Any man in his 60s who thinks he's too devilishly handsome and in shape to date women his own age, probably doesn't own a mirror.
Although one would think with all his wealth, that he could AFFORD a few....
Also, someone who has to ANNOUNCE that he's a baron is a tad, shall we say, shallow?
You get what you're trolling for, snookums. Saying you have a title and money is only going to bring out the gold diggers.
I won't date a man more than 10 years older than myself; I don't care HOW much money he has. I want my wrinkles to match his, not someone who has more of them than I do.

He's in love with this other woman, and you'll always play second fiddle to her.
Why do you think you don't deserve to be first in his heart?
Dump the loser, and let him have his lady love. He's already shown you his true colors more than once.
Oh, and saying things when you're drunk can be very revealing. In vino veritas, you know.

ladies. what do you think of this wedding idea?
Posted:
9/3/2007 2:03:48 PM
It sounds rather cheesy, and something thought up by a tweenage girl.
Seriously dude, get married in a church, or at least forego the whole Knights on Chargers idea. Horses have minds of their own and might not cooperate, you know. They're not motorcycles with legs, after all.
Besides, if your guests are "city folk", they're not going to appreciate the unique aroma of the horses, or the "presents" they leave. And yes, horses WILL poop whenever they need to, fairytale wedding ceremony or not!!!

Question
Posted:
9/3/2007 1:03:16 PM
Depends on the anime.
If it's something like Inuyasha or Avatar, then it's irritating and nerdy.
Miyuzaki's work has always appealed to me, and I've enjoyed some of the serial anime out there, like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Samurai 7.
It's not the WATCHING part that's quirky, it's the whole role-playing, fantasy thing that guys seem to get into because of it. If you can enjoy it just for the stories and animation that would be one thing, but to get all involved and indentify with it is creepy.
I don't read comic books, but have enjoyed some of the graphic novels that have made it to the big screen, like Sin City, and The Punisher.
However, y'all need to step back and realize that sitting in the dark, alone, watching these fantasies unfold is odd to most women, and especially those in your own age group.

He doesnt really want sex?
Posted:
9/3/2007 12:51:39 PM
Not all men are the rougher, more aggressive-type lovers. If that's the style you like, then you need to speak to this man about what you want.
Don't be surprised if he's not comfortable with that, though. Men, like women, have sexual identities and different ways of showing their techniques. Not all of them are compatible.
If he's a gentle, kind lover, you may never be satisfied with that. And he might not like your demanding he take on the he-man persona he's not comfortable with.

relationships
Posted:
9/3/2007 12:45:00 PM
If there was someone for everyone, then why from the beginning of time have some people not had mates?
If that was the case, then words like "bachelor" and "spinster" wouldn't exist.
I don't believe that hooey for one bit. Some of us are going to be alone, regardless.
I had an aunt who never married. She didn't seem to mind it one bit.
What I do find sad though, is people who think they NEED to be in a relationship because they're not "whole", or somehow less worthy of regard than someone who's paired.
You have to have good self esteem and be happy in your own company, before you can hope to be an equal partner with someone else.
Remember, NO ONE but YOU is responsible for your own happiness.

Ever have a crush on a cartoon?
Posted:
9/3/2007 11:05:57 AM
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought Speed Racer was hot. I wanted to strangle that little kid and his monkey, though!
And more recently, Kombei Shamata from Samurai 7. Yep, sure can understand why the water priestess thought he was hot, even though he wore those faggy girl shoes.

Um, why would you even want to give him another chance?
He sounds like a serious nut, comparing you unjustly to some woman who wanted him to give her $100.00.
Third time's the charm, sweetie. Write him off, and move on.

friends and help
Posted:

OP friendship is NOT conditional, otherwise it's not friendship.
I do for others because I want to, not because I expect compensation or an equal return of favors. That is merely commerce, and if that's what you want, then call it that.
If you can't do deeds out of the goodness of your heart without expecting some recompense, then you don't HAVE any friends. You're the kind of person who expects something for everything you do, and that my dear is an EMPLOYEE, not a friend.
If you EXPECT things of other people, you're going to be very disappointed in life. It sounds to me like you have the kind of friends you deserve, because you don't know how to be one yourself.
I have only four people, not counting my family, who I consider friends, and who I know would die for me if necessary, as I would for them. The rest I consider acquaintances, although I would do a lot for them if they needed me to step up to the plate. THAT is friendship, not an endless round of who owes you what.

Opposites vs Similairities: what's attractive to you?
Posted:
8/24/2007 2:07:06 PM
I want someone with the same morals, ethics, values, sex drive, and sense of humor as me. I want him to "get" me, and what makes me tick. And I want to be able to "get" him, too.
I think opposites may attract at first, but I want a man who I can feel comfortable with at the end of the day, and know that he feels the same way.
I know people throw that "soul mate" stuff around all the time, but I do think it does exist, especially with someone who you're compatible with on all levels. Dang, now I sound like an eHarmony commercial.....

Buy me dinner, owe me sex.
Posted:
8/24/2007 10:24:38 AM
Hm, I see a whole LOT wrong with this scenario.
Why didn't y'all agree to meet at a midway point, instead of him driving 6 hours to get to you? That way, if he acted insufferable, your drive home wouldn't have been THAT bad.
NEVER invite a man to stay with you, or go to their house if you're meeting for the first time. Regardless of what you told him, he figured you'd change your mind. After all HE drove 6 hours to see you. You should have been flattered, right?
And yes, he shelled out quite a bit of money, which you should have been sensitive to. If you had your head on straight, you would have insisted on paying your half for dinner and the movie, if not his.
In any case, if you decide to jump back in the dating pool, go to a "meet and greet" at a public location, such as a coffee shop. That way, there's no "I paid for dinner and you owe me" crap.
I see you being just as culpable as him for this fiasco. YOU expected him to act like a gentleman, and HE expected you to put out.

Americans prefer dating foreigners?
Posted:

I prefer American men.
Seems as if I'm in the minority, but I prefer a man who understands my culture, and can appreciate my humor.
A good looking man is a good looking man. Their accents don't make up for it, if they're assbuckets.....

Cops and their handcuffs

Digitalwonder, maybe you should hire someone to wear the uniform for you if you're that obsessed. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but you've already admitted you're more into the fantasy of someone in uniform as opposed to the actual woman underneath it.
Cops are people. I always looked at the men underneath the uniform, because I wanted to know WHO they were. If he looks good in a uniform, he'll look even better dressed up! Yowza!
And yes, the uniform can do wonders for some people. I knew a couple of little turds who didn't look too bad in uniform. In mufti, they looked like any other redneck, and acted like it!
So for you, it's just the lust thing. Don't get involved with a real person, then. It'd be easier just to hire someone to playact for you.

Posted:

I dated several police officers over the years.
I dated them in SPITE of the fact that uniforms don't turn me on, and I don't get some kind of sexual thrill from guns or the possibility of being handcuffed.
They were just men. Two of the nicest guys I've ever met, and I'm still very good friends with one of them.
What is it with women (and men) who thinks a uniform makes someone sexier than someone who doesn't wear one? Do you have a need to feel dominated? Urg!
Don't get that mindset. Never did. Bondage doesn't turn me on, nor does the (implied) thread of violence.

POLYGAMY?
Posted:
8/13/2007 10:23:24 AM
What about polyandry?
I think if polygamy should be allowed, so should polyandry. Don't know what that is? That's where the woman has more than one husband.
I have a feeling the men rah-rahing for polygamy wouldn't be quite so approving if the shoe was on the other foot.
Polygamy in other countries is allowed, especially Muslim countries, but the reason so many of the men DON'T have more than one wife, is mostly economical.
Those men must provide EQUALLY for each wife. Which means different homes for EACH wife and set of children. None of this crappy, five wives in one house set-up the polygamists here think is fine.
I think polygamy is a lifestyle choice. I wouldn't personally choose it, and can't wonder why any woman in her right mind would, but it's not my place to say they can't, if they think they can handle it emotionally.

Do we start marriage with a lie?
Posted:
7/18/2007 6:14:25 AM
I asked a priest about "til death do us part" in the wedding vows.
He said that it can also mean the death of the marriage. Got me thinking.
If all the other vows have been broken, such as "forsaking all others", then I'd think you could argue the point that the marriage had died.
One of my favorite quotes of all time: "Love has to stop somewhere short of suicide."

Momma's Boy?
Posted:
6/25/2007 6:40:16 AM
A man who respects and treats his mother and sisters well, will also treat his SO/spouse the same way.
That is NOT the same thing as a "momma's boy". Mommy's little darling will ALWAYS put HER before YOU. Every. Single. Time.
If you're willing to be second in line behind Mumsy dearest, knock yourself out. I need a MAN, not an overgrown little boy who needs to cut the apron strings.
And for the poster who is 30, lives at home, and shares a room with his 29 y/o brother. Dude!!! Get a freakin' job and MOVE OUT!!! You're complaining about your parents being intolerant, but WHY are you still living in THEIR house at your age?!

That pesky chemistry thing!
Posted:
6/13/2007 10:51:30 AM
I'm dating someone who I've known for about 7 years now. We started dating last year.
I LIKED him, but felt no chemistry. We got sort of pushed together by mutual friends, so decided to try going out and see if we had anything in common. He's so shy as to be almost comatose, so I was extremely skeptical about our being able to have a good time.
He apparently felt the chemistry right off the bat, but I didn't. But I DID have a good time whenever we were together, so we kept seeing each other. Found out that he's a great conversationalist, once he's away from a group where he isn't in the spotlight.
Also found out that we have many interests, as well as the same moral values and beliefs. That was a big plus.
The chemistry aspect has grown for me, the more I get to know this man.
I had always thought if you weren't "zinged" when you first met them, that you'd never feel it. So it surprised me when I realized that yes indeed, I DO feel more than just friendly affection for this man now.
My suggestion is to keep seeing someone if you enjoy their company. It might just surprise you that desire CAN grow from friendship.

y do men find strong minded women a threat?
Posted:
6/7/2007 11:21:40 AM
There is a major difference between being self-confident and self-sufficient, as opposed to screechy, whiny, DO-WHAT-I-SAY, you're nothing but a worthless man, ****y women.
I've known far too many of the latter, who THINK they're tough and self-sufficient, when all they really are is a pain in the arse. I can't imagine trying to be friends with women like that, much less be in an intimate relationship, if I were a man.
Men have a deep rooted, inherent desire to be NEEDED. If we don't let them know that they're important, and continually harangue them that we can do things ourselves, don't be surprised if they leave you alone to DO it yourself.
It's all about compromise, and respect. Continually telling someone you don't NEED them, is sure to get you a whole lot of alone time. At least you can catch up on Grey's Anatomy, right?

MENOPAUSAL MANIAC CAN YOUR MAN SURVIVE IT ? HOW ?
Posted:
6/7/2007 10:12:05 AM
Gee dusty, and you're still single? Can't imagine why.....
I'm starting to go through it. It ain't that big of a deal.
Yeah, the hot flashes bite, but except for finding myself a little more teary eyed over stupid TV coffee and Hallmark card commercials, I'm pretty much still myself.
Except for my women friends, none of the men I know have a clue that I'm going through it.
Some women are just nasty, evil, DQs, and most certainly aren't going to change their personalities during menopause. They'll merely use it as an excuse to be even more their natural selves.

Posted:

Randominternet, where have you been all my life?! I think I'm in love....
I find that being self-sufficient and independent tends to intimidate a great majority of men. It doesn't help that I live in a "good ole boy" backwater of Virginia either, where the men support their wimmen-folks, even if it means they have to live in a trailer without electricity, and an outhouse!
The idea that a woman can WORK, be successful, and own a home without a MAN'S help, is completely anaethema in this area. I do get tired of the men looking at me like I have 3 eyes and a beak....grumble!!!
