The male brain!

Simmmah,
Your wating for "one" that isn't. Given the number of men on this site, your gonna have a lot of weeds to go through.
The rest of this is just a general comment about mens brains.
I find both TONS of anti.men profiles. But even more on the forums. If a man provides anything other than effeminate responses, he is browbeat into political correctness.
I myself have decided to not really care about success on this site and just read the forums now. Pretty funny stuff. As the song went: Some girls don't like boys like me, but some girls do.

It sucks to say it, but many guys are morons. You need put it in writing or verbally. There are ways to be polite about it. You do not have to tolerate that behaviour in any way. I was not there and did not see both sides of the situation. Who knows, he might have read a book that said if a girl puts on lipstick in the car, it is a suble hint he is about to get a BJ.
I am all for being yourself. You say you want a FRIEND. Great, but if you meet a man for drinks, that is a date, and not something you do with a friend you just met. I am also not saying your wrong in any manner. But if you view it from his perspective, it is a date. His behaviour is a reflection of him as a person. Not you. The good news is, years from now, you have a funny story to tell. Sure your not laughing now, but someday.
You say "like a man does". This is not true with all men. I myself have a really low sex drive. (sorry ladies) Some are just perverts. Some have poor social skills and thus the reason they are on the internet dating now.
Not everything I ever post on these forums is an attempt to attack women. Why is it that I always get slammed for speaking my mind here.

WOW Lighthouse.
You just did an essay on my entire POF experience.
I have been left sitting on a bench waiting for a complete no-call no-show. I have have those who cancelled last minute. Those who wanted to talk about sex the entire time. Family issues. One lady who seems very nice has made me go through almost 2 months of "over worked", "family" issues and still not even a date. Or claiming they may wants kids, and I find weeks later it will NEVER happen.
I quit even contacting women now. There are not any who seem serious about finding a mate. Ya get what ya pay for.
Back on topic though,
Never meet a guy in a bar.
Never allow a guy to run the topic into sleeping with you.
Problem solved.
After re-reading the OP's post, at no time does it say how they guy thought that what was going to happen. I admit I was not there, but reading just the words in the post,
we have a few drinks, laugh, we are comfortable and everything is going great and then the guy automaticlly thinks he's getting laid!!!
That says your presuming that is what he wants. I am NOT saying your wrong. But maybe you should be upfront about what you expect the "meeting" to go like before you go out with the guy.
Just my own thoughts.

And maybe your so fantastic a fella can't help but ravish you.
I don't mean that you ask for anything, but look at the women who pick abusive men. That is all. They just make the same mistake over and over.
I read that great early contacts usually never work out. One or the other person is often being phoney and either knowingly or not, offer up the personallity traits you seem to desire.
As posted by Rob Bryant:
There are certainly dates that are too good to be true. We put on our best behavior when we are going out on a first date. Wouldn't they do the same? Are we coming across as too good to be true? The fact is, you are never going to discover anything of much value on a first date. The exception is those dates when you absolutely click with someone and you talk to one another for hours on the first date.
Most of the time, you are both trying to make the best impression possible. But if you had a good time and she seemed to have a good time, why not try it again. It takes multiple dates anyway to find out enough about someone to know if you want to get serious. The too-good-to-be-true individual will not likely be able to maintain their first date aura for very long. On the other hand, if they don't want to go out with you again, problem solved.
There is a serious side to the too-good-to-be-true date. Some of these people are actually sociopaths/psychopaths. Some people think of a psychopath as a drooling serial killer. Some of them are, but the majority of them are good citizens holding down responsible positions in society and appearing to be model citizens. One psychiatrist suggested that psychopaths make very good CEOs because it is so easy for them to lie.
A sociopath has no conscience. Because of that, it is easy for them to say anything to you that they think you want to hear. They can build you up and say all of the right things because they just don't care about the consequences. Oprah had nine women on her show who had dated, gotten engaged to, and/or married the same man. These were bright and savvy women but they were all conned by the same man. The problem is that you often can't tell if a person is a sociopath until it's too late.
If your date is complimenting you a bit too much, if they seem just a tad insincere, your warning lights should go off. Sociopaths are very dangerous and about one in 25 Americans is a sociopath. That means there's a good chance you know one or two right now. Sociopaths, whether of the opposite sex or the same sex are almost always too good to be true.

+1 on the no booze.
I don't hardly drink so it is not a factor anyway, but I'd rather a sober woman liked me than a drunk woman. The guy above me has it right though that if most guys realize they are not with "the one", then what do they have to lose by trying to score?
I myself have never even tried to score on a first or even second date. But can see the reasons why a guy would do it.
However, if it keeps happening, perhaps you should evaluate the screening your doing on the dates. If you keep picking the type of guys who keep doing the same thing, maybe your the one who has the thinking issues. Pick nicer guys

Are their any guys left who like chunky gals?

Welp,,i guess THAT guy ^^^^ doesnt like us chunky chicks! Guess ill just have to drag my stinky, slump shoulderd, undignified perverted self back to my lonely cave to work on my social skills then maybe,,,just maaayyyyybeeeee ill be able to find a quality partner in life,,,,,,,,,,,,like him! *cough cough*
Too bad you did not read my previous post in this SAME thread on the subject you would have not have responded in such a way. You would have seen my views on "chunky" women. Silly.
I doubt anyone is "into" people who do not take care of themselves. When a person is nasty, it does not matter if they are fat or skinny. Being fat does acerbate the situation. You read venom in my post. Look beyond your preconceived visions of what the general public thinks and don't be so quick to respond in a sarcastic mannor.
I offered an opinion on the post about social skills.
Poor hygeine is an aspect of a social skill. If you carry yourself as a slob, people shall view you as such. If you carry yourself with aplomb and dignity, you shall receive greater luck in finding a mate.
Thin skin is the #1 reason which I do not post much on this forum. A person is not allowed to share personal values or they are shouted down by indignate members or the threads are locked prematurely for risk of offending adults. If feelings are hurt so easily than maybe the internet is not the best place to look for love to begin with? :)
I have no rancor to anyone here. Just stating opinions.

I also feel that "most" large people do lack much of the social skills needed to find an "average" mate. It is unfortunate that many chose to be slobbish.
I am not saying everyone is. Nor knocking anything. However, if your going to be heavy, there is no reason you should let your hygeine suffer. Your shoulders do not need to be slumped, and you can chose to carry yourself in a dignified mannor.
How you carry yourself IS an aspect of social skills.
Being a bombastic pervert in public is NOT a social skill. It will not score you a quaility partner in life.
Wear it well. I migth like you then. Wear it poorly, I will not consider you. No matter how many other positives you may have.

Sledding silly. Two adults falling in the snow is alot of fun. Just remeber though, that humpin it up a hill is alot of work. You might have forgotten how much huffing and puffing your gonna do. So if your out of shape, this might be a bad idea.

Profile skipping

I am not religious, so if I see Catholic or Christian references, I step away quick. Not that I have an issue with the religion, but I figure they will want to mate up with others of similar beliefs.
If I see way too many interests, I usually doubt that I can offer this person an interesting enough personallity to be a good match.
I also tend to avoid those with more pics of thier kids than themselves. Kids are fine, but the goal is to sell yourself, not the childeren.

suggestions for the ladies
Posted:
1/27/2008 10:17:24 AM
Well all know a well written profile can get you more replies and interest, but I am finding alot of ladies who put way too much into it than needed.
First off, if you have chapter one of a novel, I get too lost in the info to get a grip of who you might be.
Next, a big turn off to me is listing 43 different things under the interests. You should not need to name EVERY thing you have ever done or want to do. Let us learn those together. If you have tons of interests, and many involve travel and other things, guess what, it intimatates me. I will not contact those who I view that are way to fantastic to ever want a down to earth guy like myself. A few interests are fine. But many of you ladies seem to think you need to sell all this fabulous life you have. I myself do not have a fabulous life. I work. I laugh. I goto sleep.
Please try things other than wanting a "caring, funny, intelligent, confident man" The truth is, most guys are these things. I am one funny fuk. You just need to look for the things outside of the limitations you are putting up. I look at the profiles of many of the guys here. My goodness, they are rather repeative. And many repeat almost word for word what the ladies are all looking for. If they are all what you claim to be looking for, none of you would be on here anymore.
Here is a small other detail I hope you kids might think about. The goal is love. If your goal is s*x, money, or anything else.... you should put that in the profile or look elsewhere.
Other beefs I have. I keep seeing "a few extra pounds"....but your about 50-100 over that level. Please be honest. You seem to hope that after a guy gets to know you, he will get over it. Let me tell you, if after a week or two of correspondence, we meet, and I find you are WAY more than expected, I will feel lied to, diaapointed and have a negative first date and feelings for you. If you had been honest, I will either accept it or I won't. I personally like a few extra on a woman. It is like a guy telling you he has an awesome job and makes lots of money.... but you find he was a poser the whole time.
Finally, don't advertize if your not looking to sell.
I think I am done ranting at this point. ....btw, I am single and taking applications.

Light House:
17 is the legal age of consent in Michigan. 16 requires parental permission.
So unless the girl pressed charges for rape, the parents were not able to do anything. Even if she is a minor living in their home.
It is true that the sex offender law/registry is flawed. I know a guy who was 17, his girl was 15....and her parents pressed charges. 7 years later, he got out and now has a really hard time tring to find a place to live. He has had to move many times from apartments and condos....I feel bad for him. I personally know his story. But most would just look him up, see the bad, and make a snap judgement call.
I do not see how POF can possibley screen out the bad guys though. The internet is not set up for honesty. I know a woman here on the site who dated a guy for months....then one night he took her car. Never came back.
He had been picked up in Detroit doing something.
Turns out, she dated him for months, and he used a false name. Was on parole, and had absconded (failed to report). She got her car back and no harm was done, but she is more cautious than before.

Sexy is sexy. I like big butts, but only a small number of "chunky" or bigger women wear it well. You can be big and sexy, or you can be big and a slob. Slob is never sexy.
If you chose to be confident about yourself, you will be attractive and guys will want you. If you have a poor self image, then others will feel the same about you and you will have a long road to finding a mate. Usually one who is also very uncomfortable in their own body. The two of you will make a perfect mismatch. Your not right for each other, but stuck in a relationship that is not good for either of you.
I'd prefer a curvy woman over a stick girl any day. I do ask for a pretty face. An attractive personallity is the big draw though.

WOW! This is awesome stuff you got going on here.
I saw no flaws, other than for the sake of selling yourself. Not much depth of your character shows through. I'd hope the profile works for ya, as I understand what your going for, and it is well suited to finding you a wise arse woman.
Don't change it.

What is wrong with the persons profile above you in this thread? (Michigan)
Posted:
12/7/2007 1:44:17 PM
Thank you for the input. I should perhaps take the time to format the paragraphs in a more readable way. I opted to have a 100% honest profile and hope to get a winner. I know of others who lie thoughtout what they post and seem to get much better results.
My comic IS sexist! Are you a reader? (it is just a long running short strip I post online, and not a book) And in a shameless self promotion and thread hyjack it is a myspace profile what_will_god_say

Lack of any sort of goal with a match on this site.
The entire profile is well written, and very clean of non-offensive ideas, remarks, or things which may make you stand out. Nothing wrong with the profile itself. but it might need more "pop".
So I'd add an end result for a perfect match that you may find. (marriage, love, kids, travel companion....ect)
Express an exciting aspect about yourself other than the cool tone you have.
