Do men really like tatoos on women (lots of them or 1 or 2?)
Posted:
6/27/2009 11:04:33 AM
Ultimately a tattoo wouldn't make me stop seeing, or keep me from seeing someone that has them, as I do like women who are independent enough to express themselves. And for some, a tattoo is how they do so.
Upon saying that, however, I don't deem them attractive (tattoos). If I did, I would have gotten one a long time ago. But I don't mind if she has some. Just not a lot.

from a guy's point of view what would you say is going on here
Posted:
6/14/2009 7:53:05 PM
Obviously getting the milk for free, so whats the point of doing anything extra? (Not saying its right.. but.....)
I would question why you're still in that type of relationship, one where you're in need of the words and affirmations. (Nothing wrong with that!) He's not going to change. I don't say that to be mean.. I say that because you need to hear it/read it.... and to save yourself from further frustrations. And yes, it IS reasonable to get the extra attention that you're asking about. Nobody likes a stick in the mud. I assume you've talked to him about it till you're blue in the face.
Just my opinion.
And oh for the love of God, don't marry this buffoon thinking that it will change him.

Is it OK to date your ex boyfriends friend?
Posted:
6/13/2009 11:23:11 AM
Sadly, I agree with Jimmorisson4 and rs64. Rs64 provided the polite version of the same response jimmoison4 gave. I wouldn't have any interest in dating a good friend's ex. Seems to be too much drama in the making. If you like drama... go for it.

How do I go on after a devastating breakup?
Posted:
6/13/2009 9:52:51 AM
Completely agree with ALL that Zodiacgirl wrote. You're not doing yourself any favors by keeping a friendship going with this person. You need to heal. You won't be able to heal until she's no longer a part of your life. Atleast for now. Besides, sometimes friends like these, you don't need enemies.

A Question for the guys
Posted:
6/13/2009 9:36:22 AM
All this reeks of drama, drama, drama, drama. Hope you like your job. Hopefully it'll be around for you to work, with the bad economy and all.
Pretty much got what you should have expected, with not knowing someone well enough and screwing on the first night. With someone from work no less. With someone who has a relationship with someone else.
I'm really not sure what you're asking for, when you know he's got a girlfriend, you know you caught him in a lie or two (or more). Maybe you deserve better. Maybe you don't. But you chose to have sex with him on the first nite, so it wasn't all his fault. Follow your logic, because your dreamer side isn't really working out well for you.

He Calls Me Every Day...
Posted:
6/13/2009 9:23:33 AM
No.. I wouldn't call anyone, every single nite, if I didn't have feelings for her.
Class dismissed.
Seriously though, sounds like he's just hoping there's a relationship there somewhere. I feel bad for the guy. (That is if you have no feelings towards him).

Called a golddigger because I expect a man to buy me a drink?
Posted:
6/12/2009 3:29:06 PM
The only problem I had with the OP remarks, was that this was obviously not a date. It was a first meet. Therefore, the expectations on anyone's part should have not been there in the first place.
In addition, it was the OP that suggested to meet. Hmmm.. So.. an invitation to a first meet. And I'm supposing that she suggested a restaurant/bar? Does she know whether he drinks or not? Let's just say for the record, that I personally do not drink. Therefore, i would have just had water, soda, whatever, and I know we all don't consider that "drinking". Because I do not drink, it wouldn't really automatically be instilled upon me to actually by someone else a "round".. when I may have not wanted a "round" in the first place. Now, normally, I would pay for meets. I don't mind. Nor do I mind dutch. But that's not the point.
This whole thing reeks of miscommunication. Just chalk it up as a wrong person and go on with life. The only thing you did wrong, if anything, was having expectations established and be dissapointed that they weren't meant. That's more your fault than his.

Posted:

From what you wrote, its clear that you fell in love with someone you were in a casual relationship with. Most likely he doesn't feel the same, otherwise he would have taken time to call.
So not the guy for you if you want to settle down. Besides, your schedules does not seem to work out very much. Keep your head up... and keep searching, by moving on.

last minute dates
Posted:
6/6/2009 4:21:08 PM
talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.
Some are planners. Some are spontaneous.
Me, I grew tired of having things planned out and it ends up being postponed, cancelled or no show. In fact, for a date with someone I don't know.. I won't even plan (too much). Now if we're in a a relationship, that's when planning is better served.
Its a good way to weed out those that aren't worthy of your time, too.

You are her self esteem booster.
Pick any of the three. Pick them all. Most likely they're all true.
And.. she's not much of a friend, knowing how you feel and all.

need advice, got a girl pregnant who's married!!
Posted:
6/3/2009 3:35:46 PM
Msg #2 pretty much said everything I was going to say.
I had finally realized, after all these years, why most married women, if they are seeking to have an affair, seeks to have an affair with a single guy. Gives them more option.
You and her, whether together or separate, will be fine. I feel for kids that are born into that situation. My advice? Man up. It takes two to tango. See it thru to the point of getting a DNA. And if it is yours, then be there for the child. If it is not, then make better choices next time. For every decision, there is a consequence.

Everyone's different. And women come up with some crap of their own that guys have to deal with. We're all human afterall.

Well personally, since I'm not gay, soft and silky and not a whole hell of a lot of high maintenance hair. Would rather deal with more substance that's underneath the hair (brains) than dealing with hair. But.. that's just me.

Celibate Dating
Posted:
4/30/2009 10:01:03 PM
And great thoughts, TDA. Personally, right or wrong, I would have lost interest. You're not even open to even being given a chase. What's the point?
You'll always have those that will just be interested in one thing, but those that are genuinely interested in getting to know you, wouldn't necessarily want to have those walls put up before they even try to get to know you.
You're doing what's best for yourself and should be commended, but there has to be a better way of presenting it.
Just my two cents as well.

What do guys mean when they say cuddle?
Posted:
4/30/2009 9:50:38 PM
Cuddle (to a guy) is the promissory note that sex will arrive. May not be today, may not be tomorrow, but keep cuddling, and you may get your shot. That doesn't apply if you're "cuddle buddies" with someone.
Bluez got it correct.

With all do respect (really).. after all this that she has found out, she's willing to still go back to him?? What a twit!! (The same can be said if the genders was reversed).
Moreso, knowing what she is ALLOWING herself to get involved with, its hard to say that she doesn't deserve what she's getting. People have brains for a reason. (Oh, and he's no better, obviously). In addition, never go by what people say. Its the actions behind those words that counts! (Took me years to learn that one!)

Men gets friend zoned (yes, I do believe that).
Women gets "friends with benefits" zoned.
Stop with the free gift and have some open communication of what you're wanting. Prepare not to get it, however. Sad but true.

is ths too fast
Posted:
2/27/2009 1:18:47 AM
1. Because of you asking "is this too fast".. then yes, its too fast. You know it is.
2. I agree with actualizing.
3. Also agrees with Jsav. No test needed. Communication might be needed. Forget the game playing -- even though he's playing the game.
4. Gee.. isn't that swell he still might consider you his girlfriend, after spending the whole weekend with you (again, like Actualizing, I'm assuming he didn't sleep on the couch -- unless of course you were on the couch too). YIPPEEEE.. Yay.. and all that other crap. The guy sounds like an ass. But if that's the type of guy that appeals to you.....
5. You're the backup plan.. but even then, not really. He'll say and do the right things, up until you make a motion for more of a committment, then he'll flake on you for awhile, and come back. You're "Miss Right now".. but he's keeping a watch for someone else.
I think you deserve better, but that's for you to decide.

When and why do guys make up their minds?
Posted:
2/26/2009 1:51:59 PM
Its not a guy thing -- its a people thing.
Women do the same damn thing.
What is it? Call it drama. Call it game playing. Call it "you're get enough for now, but I'm keeping my eyes open for someone else down the road.
When that happens to you, just move on. Unless you're in the unfortunate place that you married the person. Get counseling instead.

To see him or not to see him
Posted:
1/26/2009 9:32:36 PM
My advice?
Just live your life where you're at now. Meet people. Have fun. When you move back... then see him. Less drama that way. But your post was drama filled, so I am not anticipating you're taking this advice or anyone's.
I didn't read that he invited you to come back to see him, just that you miss him too and "when you go back to visit, that if you could see him." So... I no, I didn't see an invitation. And..why would you stay with him??????
Sounds like a lot of drama to me.

Posted:

Fully agree with happyrebel. Seriously. Why the need for two of the particular captions?
If that doesn't say to a guy that you might be a mark, then nothing is. And the guy probably freaked after being in bed with you.
You may have misread. But I can guarantee, if you met him here, that he read your captions. I think he got what he wanted...and then didn't know what else to do.
PS. Not slamming.. just making a point.

Gut feeling & very curious??
Posted:
1/26/2009 9:14:51 PM
I used to go by gut feelings.. .but not anymore. I never go by what people say anymore as well. You know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words." Well, I believe in watching for someone's actions, rather than what they say to me, to let me know what they're really thinking/feeling, so on and so forth.
People say "do as I say, not as I do." What people do, sometimes -- most of the time, contradicts what they say.
Besides, watching the action of people, or someone, have taken the guess work of knowing how the person really feels about you, whether you shoud stay or leave.. so on and so forth. I wish I knew this 20 years ago.

Relatively recently.
When her own mother said about her "She is a pain in the ass."

Friend advice ----
Posted:
12/21/2008 2:00:08 PM
Unless you like the drama that is going on within the three of you.....
I'd change my number. Not hard to do. I don't see how this is your problem. Not your problem to deal with, not your problem to fix.
Your friend is an adult. Its his problem. He choosing to accept it. What is there to do about it? Why stay around if it bothers you?
Your comment to her was out of line. Only because it kept the flames going and doesn't really hold you in any better light than them. Just my opinion.

When is the right time to start again..?
Posted:
11/23/2008 2:48:15 AM
Ok.. I'm not a female, so I can't answer from that perspective.
In my case.. I couldn't go "out there" till I was ready. I didn't want to lead anyone on and I didn't want to suddenly find myself in a rebound/bad relationship. I didn't force myself, I hung out with friends, did hobbies, whatever to keep busy. Its only been 5 months for you (i know.. it sounds like a long time... but it really isn't). There's no right or wrong in time frame. Some people can get over people quickly (which in my opinion doesn't say much for them), while others takes longer.
Now if you said 5 years.. then I'd say...... what's taking you so long. :)
In short -- you'll know when you're ready. In the meantime, just keep busy. Relax and enjoy.

I just read your profile. Y ou're 21. College is nothing.. meaning.. you can go to college anywhere. You can't always exactly get a job just anywhere. So.. if you're going to be trouncing around the world to follow your love (or they follow you).... I think College time is the best time to do so. Then you don't necessarily screw with your career/employment.
So I changed my intial answer to this:
Just out of high school or going thru college -- sure.. move around, be adventurious, seek your soulmate (as if there is such a thing) on the other side of the world if you want.
Already established a home, career and a whole ball of wax? Think twice. Then think twice more.

I did it. I would not ever do it again. Nor would I ever do another long-distance relationship.
It works for some. It didn't for me. Yes.. guys are praised for being adventurous... but some adventures are just downright stupid. Any regrets? No. But.. I still wouldn't do it again.

Is he interested in me romantically or just as a friend?
Posted:
11/16/2008 1:46:51 AM
My take on this is this:
You spent all that time with him and don't know what he is interested in? Next time, just ask. Sounds like he just is one of those guys who enjoys having a big social life. Like the above poster, he invited you along with him and Bech possibly because he thought you might enjoy it. He's not dating her. He's not dating you. Just people going out having a good time. No more, no less.
I wouldn't lose sleep over this one.

Ok.. you asked for help. So. I'll give it to you.
1. Nobody was rude in their comments towards you. Or atleast meant to be malicious towards you. However we all expressed them without pulling punches so you would get the point. You just finally figured out that everyone was saying the SAME thing, just in different ways. Good Job :)
2. Never.. ever... get involved with a triangle with someone you think you're dating, and an ex. Clearly, its always and forever will be a drama situation, and they're obviously having unfinished business with each other. I will have to say that I had never heard of similar situation as yours. Never in my wildest dreams would I even allow myself to be the "go between" with someone, and someone's ex. But then, I'm 40.. not 20. More than likely, I would kick the ex'es ass, if given the choice. Atleast that's the typical male response would be. I can't for the life of me picture myself telling someone's ex, what "she said" .. and to get stuff from him to tell her. But be that as it may:
3. When put in that situation, or any other situation that there is unfinished business between two exes......its obvious things aren't over with the both of them. And you gotta watch out for his/her (your date/bf/girlfriend.. whoever) actions are, rather than what they say. If i can give anyone advise.... forget what they say to you (for the most part), unless their actions towards you matches what they say.
On a more serious note, with you leaving in two weeks, you have bigger fish to fry, a whole world to explore and you don't need to be thinking about a nitwit and her ex. Once your back.. like someone else said before me.... meet a woman, not a girl. It DOES make a world of difference. Relationships are not easy. As you're now finding out.
I sincerely thank you for serving your country.

The most important (I think) thing I ever learned about relationships is this:
Forget what they verbally tell you, because it means nothing if their Actions don't reflect it.
Took me years to learn that simple concept.

Not sure why you are confused.
I kinda wish I could be a fly on the wall. Who in their right mind would allow themselves to be the "go between" with someone that theyr'e friends with and his/her ex?
By the way.. if you didn't get it... the girl doesn't like you. No way, no chance, no how.
I would have preferred to say it more politely, just not sure if the message would have gotten thru.

I totally agree with Glossary.
Having been in the exact same situation some 15 years ago. Run. Don't let her keep you around as a friend. It just won't work for you. You'll always be the backup guy. And really.. want kind of friend is that? Even if you "win" this woman away, how long will that rebound last?
I really liked the quote up above mentioned from the book "The Female Brain." It's true. Scarey true.

I can honestly say that I have never had that done to me. Though I did see it on some video.
Reading the last post, I had to laugh because the only thing I thought about when I read it, and that she was so ready for it, was that "its payback time!" for all women.
Like Rock said... Take it a like a man. Take it all, and take it hard. No squealing allowed. As you know, there's no crying in baseball. There's no crying when they're something up the bum either.

Good catches indeed. I can see how you thought what you did. Let me rephrase in a different way.
1. In regards to hurting her feelings -- does he understand WHY he hurt her feelings? Maybe when they were talking, all she said was that "you hurt my feelings... and don't do that again." Do what again? Maybe he doesn't know exactly what he did. Gals are good at giving and receiving hints. Guys do NOT pick on subtle hints. Just look on Heartbroken areas, or Ask a Girl sections. LOL.
2. Guys relationships to other guy friends -- always been my experience that us guys withdraw from each other on occassion. And alot of occasions. We're not as "close" to each other as you women are to each other. We really don't "discuss and analyze" things too much, especially relationships. In fact, I'm betting that a good 70% of the guys on these forums, that this is the only outlet they really use to "discuss and analyze relationships." In this way, I'm thinking he's probably thinking she's one of the guys. To get her out of that light, and if she may have feelings for him (which, by the way, I think she does). .. she should just tell him so and let it go from there.
But we do agree. No free passes. Say what you mean.. mean what you say.. Life and relationships would be better that way.

CassaGo --
though I understand your frustration... I resent your remarks. PEOPLE don't change. Nobody should be expected to change unless they want to. And even then, they probably still won't change. Nobody gets a pass at anything. Just accept and deal.. or leave are the real only options. Just my opinion of course. Just as you have yours.

Sportf-cking: Defined and Applied

I imagine that there are high jumps, pole vaults, broad jumps (hehe), and high dives competitions in the Sport Fvcking Olympics. Since I have producing and tv camera experience, I volunteer to do that portion of it. Its the least I can do. Anyone have access to a media network? Is Ted Turner on POF? Rupert Murdock?
Hello?

CassaGo makes a good point.. if.. and only if the friend she was talking about is another female. He isn't a female.
Maybe to her friend.. he just thinks of her as "one of the guys." Because guys do this to each other. Its only friends. Its not like they're a couple or anything. Guys and gals do friendships differently.
Whatever the scenario is.. they BOTH NEED to have a talk and see what this friendship is all about. She may have told him it hurt her feelings that he goes away. But did she explain why? You can tell a guy you don't like something, until your blue in the face... but does that change anything? Not unless you explain why it hurts you.
If after explaining why it hurts you and he still continues to do so.. then he's not much of a friend, and you'll need to make better ones, I suppose?
Women are good at giving and receiving hints. Guys suck at both and needs specific and details. Even Dr. Seuss says so. Its no wonder why relationships are hard. It'd be wonderful to be able to read your friend, partners, or your enemy's mind, wouldn't it? :)

OP,
It could have easily been me you're talking about.
Though it could always be he's seeing someone else... I doubt it. That's just a part of who he is. Myself, I like .. and need.. the quiet moments to myself at times. What you explained was very accurate in how I deal. However... when I'm alone, it doesn't mean I would mind company because I wouldn't, but in those times, I won't actively seek it. So, knowing what you know about him, why don't you take more of an initiative in doing things with him, more often than what you're doing. I can pretty much guarantee he won't mind. Or join him at the coffee shop, etc. He really isn't doing anything wrong. Just does things differently than you.
It does sound to me that you are into him more than a friend though. Friends usually do come in and out of peoples lives during various moments. Until, and unless you two are exclusive dating, couple or whatever, he doesn't really owe you any explanation.
Find out what you want from him. If its just friends. Well, you have it. He's just the type that doesn't need to be in a constant communication with a friend. I get that. I'm the same way. Now if you're wanting something more... then quit playing "I'll wait tell he just asks me out.." etc bullcrap and just find out what he has to say about that.
Hope this helped.

It means you shouldn't be bothered with long distance relationships. She's doing you a favor, even though neither of you realize it yet.
She doesn't know what she wants, and I'm sorry.. its obviously not you... not for a long term anyway.

Non popular jobs for women: do men object, and why?

I think its wonderful what you do. And so what if some people who bash you of what you do? They probably don't understand.. or.. jealous.. or.. whatever else the case may be. You sound like a wonderful person.
I don't have time for negative people... maybe you shouldn't have time for those who are negative to your chosen career either. Cuts down alot of agitation and game playing too.
Don't worry. Be happy. (Hate the song, but it does apply.. lol).
