are we being crazy?
Posted:
10/8/2009 2:38:59 AM
If I meet someone I like, I don't want to see anyone else, and if they feel the same way, why not go for it? If you can make it past 3-4 months (when you start noticing "things" about each other) you will probably have a shot at making it work long term. You have to do what is right for you. Keep in mind that most the people here dispensing advice aren't dating anyone. Enjoy what you have while you have it.

Why would you embarrass yourself and your date like that? I just couldn't do it. I have yet to wake up in the morning and say to myself: "I hope today I get an email from a frumpy, middle aged woman who thinks she is Miss March because I need a delusional liar in my life really bad!" I blame the fashion industry and Hollywood. You see all these sitcoms where an ill mannered, pudgy bald guy is married to a georgeous woman that puts up with his crap, and what used to be a size 12 is a size 4 now. It gets so bad that you start thinking "If this is the best I can do, I need to find the nearest monastery and sign up, because it is time to give up for good!"
That would make Landra a size -2 wouldn't it?

She's Too Into You!
Posted:
10/7/2009 5:35:36 AM
I'd rather have too much attention than not enough or none, which is what I have now.
The idea of having a companion, at least for me, is to have and give attention, and do things together. Lots of things. I have been alone long enough, or if not, involved in a way that wasn't going anywhere. I would be making up for lost time. Then again, I am not like most men. Whether that is bad or good remains to be seen.

Insatiable and Angry
Posted:
9/29/2009 9:04:39 PM
An acquaintance who had a degree in psychology once told me that you shouldn’t allow yourself to fall in love with someone until you had known them for at least 4 months, because that is as long as a person can “act” nice. Ever since I learned that, I have sort of kept track. After that amount of time, little things you never noticed before start getting on your nerves; you might snap at your lover or vice versa, or the first fight happens. That doesn’t mean you can’t be a couple. It just means that it is time to start talking and get serious about things. The infatuation stage is over. The “are we going to make this work” stage has started.
So yes, as great as things were, they change. What seemed so wonderful isn’t enough anymore. Too many people get addicted to that “new and exciting rush”, and walk away from something that could be good and lasting to find the next “love” buzz.
What’s that song by Roxy Music? “Love is the drug I’m looking for…”
Part 2: Many people are so self absorbed that they think life revolves around them and they have little consideration for those foolish enough to be involved in their lives. They don’t bother to learn social skills, and have anger management issues. If you dare stand up to them, they attack and try to put their lack of manners on you. They accuse you of the type of behavior that they are exhibiting: “You are trying to control me!” Often, these persons are insecure and think that if they don’t control your every move, or are not in “charge”, you will screw them over royally. Most people I have met who are like this came from bad relationships and learned this behavior from someone who treated them this way.
Not good. If you want a project, redecorate your home or tune up your car. Don’t try to change a sociopath.
Disclaimer: I am not a psychiatrist, nor do I play one on TV. My opinions are based on experience and research I have done on the subject, hopefully to better understand WTF is going on with myself and other people.

Are men that cook better for a relationship?
Posted:
9/28/2009 5:33:53 AM
I can't think of a man I have ever dated who did not cook and take a hand in household chores. It seems normal to me.
I would think that it is only right for working couples to share in chores as well as everything else.
I need a companion, not a maid. If I am am up on your roof fixing a leak, or under your car with oil dripping all over me making a repair, then maybe you can scrub the toilet or cook dinner that day. Otherwise, I will take care of my share.
I don't think this makes me special. Just fair minded. Why should you come home from work and have to do everything? I suspect you are as tired as I am.
You know, it doesn't matter how positive a thread someone starts, some miserably unhappy person is going to have something negative to say or turn it into a battle of the sexes thing.

What does clingy mean to you?
Posted:
9/27/2009 9:34:25 AM
Since everybody is different, the level of affection in any given relationship would be defined differently. To many men, cuddling after sex would be clingy. Trying to talk to a man during a sporting event would be considered clingy. I am pretty sure most women would think a guy who stalks them or locks them in their basement would be clingy. What I have always tried to figure out is the difference between affectionate and clingy.

Are Women much more pickier/choosy than Men when it comes to Dating/Relationships?
Posted:
9/27/2009 4:21:48 AM
I feel somewhat qualified to post on this thread because I recently read an article on the subject. Of course, that is like saying I am a qualified medical doctor because I read an article about hospitals.
Basically what this article states is that women are pickier about choosing dates or mates, not because of their gender, but because they are traditionally the ones being pursued, and that gives them a greater choice.
My experience on POF indicates much the same, again because they have the choice.
Having said that let me dispel a few myths about singles dating sights.
It is not true that men outnumber women on dating sites. On larger sites, women outnumber men by about 60%.
It is also not true that women have the advantage over men as far as dating goes. Statistically, the odds favor guys: There are 86 unmarried men for every 100 unmarried women. This varies according to region, and by who’s statistics you read.
While it may hold true that women receive more messages than men, if a woman receives ten messages, more than likely the majority are from men looking for sex, a few are from married/involved men, the rest are from totally unacceptable suitors, such as men with no income, substance abusers, and guys that just crawled out from under rocks. Men who are single for obvious reasons.
The biggest problem for men it would appear is that they think POF is plagued with young beach bunnies looking for flabby old men.
It would seem that everybody is delusional about who they can date.
POF is not the Wal-Mart of sex for men, or the catalog of desirable and successful men for women.

oops! I did it again....

Here's the thing: Even though you have nothing to do with them, your exes still control your life. You are hiding like a church mouse, afraid of your own feelings because of what they did to you. Some great guy with your name on him is living alone wondering if he will ever find someone. Not only do you hurt yourself, but you hurt guys who are interested in you.
I have been where you are. I don't know about therapy, but you need to at least realize you are in control of your life, and you decide if someone can hurt you or not. What ever happens, you will handle it. Otherwise, start stockpiling cat food and kitty litter for your old age. You have a good start on being a "cat lady".

Downsizing and Dating?

I would be happy enough to have someone interested in me that I wouldn't be too worried about her background unless she had recently escaped from a mental institution or was being investigated for murdering several spouses. One might deserve it; two would look suspicious.

Posted:
9/25/2009 4:39:31 AM
There are guys that make the same mistakes.
You got that right. You hear women complaining constantly that “he doesn’t pay enough attention to me” or “he isn’t very affectionate”. When you try to accommodate them, then you are “needy” or “smothering” them. If you back off, then you are “using them for sex”.
Well, according to the best seller "Why Men Love B1tches" no man truly appreciates someone that is always available for them when they call, automatically brings you soup when you are sick or enthusiastically jumps into bed every time when in a real relationship with you.
Women do this?!?!? Not in my world! I always knew I was missing something.

Let it go and enjoy your youth. Find somebody else and see what she does. She will either start dating every guy that comes along and try to make you jealous or try to get you back, only to dump you again as soon as she sees she has the upper hand. You should be having fun. Don't let her have enough control to ruin things for you.

Expectations of sex before/on same date
Posted:
9/23/2009 12:22:16 PM
You can't turn on the TV, your computer, or open a magazine without having sex shoved down your throat. We live in a society obsessed by sex, or so the media would have us believe. I suspect this is the reason so many men think it is OK to treat women as sexual objects. In my opinion, it shows a total lack of class. I believe that "courting" has become a lost art.

What Have We Come Across That Was Good In The Opposite Gender?
Posted:
9/14/2009 7:29:56 AM
I know a lot of men and I can honestly say that I don't know ONE who is philanthropic.
I find generalized statements like this offensive. I am far from perfect, but I try a lot harder than most people to be a decent human being. There is nothing like trying to enter into a relationship knowing that you have been prejudged according to the behavior of others. You really don't have a chance.
There are a lot of things I like about women, but what holds true for one doesn't necessarily work for another, but I can always find something great that stands out.

Is there something as being too nice or helpful in a realtionship
Posted:
9/12/2009 3:58:56 PM
I don't care how cute and lovable a puppy might be, sooner or later you get tired of tripping over it and having it constantly chew on you and everything you own. I don't care how nice you are, sooner or later you are going to yell. What most of these people proclaiming themselves "too nice" are leaving out is that are probably a nuisance after awhile. There is a very fine line between nice and needy. The other thing is that people aren't very gracious when annoyed. You don't need to kick the puppy, but you certainly have to be firm and let it know when it crosses a boundary. Too bad people can't treat each other as well as they do their pets.

do women from different countries act differently
Posted:
9/12/2009 2:02:58 PM
All women are different. Some women are better than others, depending on who you ask.
Since I don't date men, I will guess that they are the same. How did this get turned into a woman/man bashing thread? There sure are a lot of bitter people here on POF. I bet there grade school report cards said: They don't play well with others.

what does a break mean?
Posted:
9/12/2009 12:35:18 PM
According to sitcoms, a break means that a woman (or man, depending on which sitcom you watch) rips a your heart out, and when they find out you found consolation in the arms of a sympathetic person, you will be ostracized as a whore for not sitting at home crying your eyes out while pining away for them.
In real life, it usually means a man or woman needs to be able to defend their lack of moral character by claiming their infidelity was OK, since they were "on a break".
Now I need for somebody to give me a break! You take a break from work or school. You don't take a break from a relationship.
As I said once before in a similar thread, and to borrow an old saying from the 70s (it isn't too hard to figure out a lot of people were on drugs and a bit delusional back then):
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it is yours to keep forever. If not, it was never yours in the first place. Otherwise, I you can try stalking or keep them chained in your basement till Stockholm Syndrome sets in.

Question for the guys about dating and children
Posted:
9/12/2009 9:34:55 AM
As George Carlin so aptly put it, America has become a nation of child worshippers. I cringe when I see a mother talking about how her kids are her life. Not much of a life if you ask me, raising future felons. Wonder how fast they will sell the house out from under and put you in a home as you become a responsibility to them? I have met some fantastic moms in my day, but it is more the exception than the rule anymore. At my age, it is time to enjoy travelling and adventures together. Sorry you can't do this because you are babysitting or child rearing your middle age away.

Should men pay half of the expense of women's birth control?
Posted:
9/7/2009 11:24:06 AM
If you are middle aged and still need the pill, I wouldn't want to date you anyway. I put up with PMS (or at least it was used as an excuse for bad behavior often enough) that I don't want to ride that horse again. If you haven't had menopause, ditto. When you are done with all that, I will give you a copy of my blood test certifying that sex with me will not prove fatal. If you have trust issues and think I will give you an STD, I won't pay for half your therapy to get over that either. I figure I can safely assume that when involved in a relationship, I will pay half or more for everything one way or the other anyway, so does it really matter what the money goes for in the end, does it?

What's the reward for Chivalry?
Posted:
9/6/2009 7:40:57 AM
Chivalry
1. the sum of the ideal qualifications of a knight, including courtesy, generosity, valor, and dexterity in arms.
2. the rules and customs of medieval knighthood.
3. the medieval system or institution of knighthood.
Courtesy
1. excellence of manners or social conduct; polite behavior.
2. a courteous, respectful, or considerate act or expression.
3. indulgence, consent, or acquiescence: a “colonel” by courtesy rather than by right.
I am afraid too many people are mistaking chivalry for courtesy, neither of which exists in great quantities these days. If I take the garbage out for a woman, that is courteous. If I have to fight off a ravaging horde of heathens to do it, that is chivalrous.

I admit I run a little bit on the strange side, for instance I actually want to spend time with someone I am interested in, but I think I would feel rather unwanted if I disappeared for a week and the woman I was seeing DIDN'T freak out and want to know what I had been doing. That would demonstrate a lack of interest on her part in my opinion.

Sex & Guilt
Posted:
8/31/2009 2:27:45 PM
ALL RIGHT! Everybody out of the pool! Let's put our egos away and pretend to be civilized.
I was wondering how women react to men that they have had sex with and then feel guilty about. I have had some women turn pretty cold and distant on me, like I did something horribly wrong. This might be a completely different scenario. It's not like I pushed them into it. I have never needed to beg for sex. At least, that is what I choose to believe.

What's going on?
Posted:
8/30/2009 7:40:05 AM
Good question. What IS going on these days? It used to be, if a woman slept with you, it meant something very special. Now, it just seems to mean that they wanted sex, and no commitment or relationship will necessarily follow. You can't allow men to treat you like a carnival ride and then expect them to take on the responsibility of a relationship. Everybody is looking for a free "ride" these days, and women seem only too happy to provide it. Come on girls! Most of us on POF are in our middle ages, and you are still falling for old high school lines.

How is it that a woman trying to get a man to buy her a rock (crack cocaine) is a whore, but a woman trying to get a man to buy her a rock (2 carat engagement ring) is different? They both want something for services provided. All you women who believe a man's worth has to do with more than money are a real blessing. Thanks to all of you that feel that way.

celibacy in late life
Posted:
8/26/2009 6:34:10 PM
I don't think I would choose celibacy on purpose, though I am forced to live with it. I'm getting old, but I'm not dead yet. I do fully realize that I had better find someone with some common interests, because when the fire starts burning low as it inevitably does, you had better have some other things to do and something to talk about. I hope someone will come along with a little gasoline and pour it on my fire, but in reality, I keep thinking about something George Costanza said in an episode of 'Seinfield': "There's a good chance I'm never going to have sex again anyway."

Cold unfeeling robotic blokes

It's a "lose" "lose" situation for men. If you show too much affection, you are needy, and not enough you are a cold fish. The fact that women are not all alike just makes it even more confusing. Some women crave affection, others can live without it. Just when you think you've got it right, the rules change.

Cardio Twister

You can spend a small fortune on equipment that will get used a few times, moved from closet to closet, and then when you get tired of it taking up space, you sell it at a yard sell for 5 cents on the dollar. I have a cardio glide that I haven't been using because it is boring. I have come to the conclusion that sitting at home alone every weekend is even more boring, so I am going to drag it out in front of the TV, put on a movie, and have at it. I want my flat tummy back. I shall have it!

Is it really that odd to not have a pet?

I don't have a pet right now (well, actually I do, but just for the weekend), and at this time, I don't need one. I like animals, especially dogs, and they like me. If I could find a woman as loyal and attentive as my canine buddies, I wouldn't know how to act.

This sounds interesting. I hate not being able to make bread on camping trips. This will solve that problem. I bet it would be good with the roasted red pepper hummus I made the other day. Thanks for the recipe.

Why are woman so sensitive to rejecting their overture?

WHY DO SO MANY OLDER MEN LIE ABOUT THEIR AGE????
Excellent question. Why do women do it? I have received messages from women claiming to be in their 40s who were quite obviously much older. Do people really think we are so stupid that we can't tell the difference? How many times do we read in the forums where a woman shows up for a date only to discover that their tall, dark, and handsome man is a short, bald, toad? Do people think that if they can deceive you into meeting them that you will go ahead and be with them, even if they make you feel nauseated?
Also, what's the big deal with the favorites list? Out of 45 women who have put me on their favorites list, only a few bothered to contact me. I am flattered that they found something they liked about me. If a woman is on several hundred men's favorites list, there is a reason for it. Personally, I am not afraid of a little competition. Usually it is because they are attractive. Men are attracted to what they see, and I have read often enough that women are attracted by what they hear. I must be saying something right in my profile. It's what I say afterwards that gets me in trouble.

Making the first move...

I wish more women had your attitude. If I try to meet someone, I always feel like I'm invading their space. If a girl doesn't let me know she is interested, nothing will happen, because I think that women get hit on a lot, and I think that they think I am just another jerk trying to get laid. While this may be true to an extent, I want much more than just sex. There is the right way and the wrong way to go about that. Men, at least this one, does not pick up on subtle little hints. Half the time I don't even know that a woman is interested till she drags me in the bedroom and has her way with me (as if I would put up miuch of a fight). That doesn't happen near often enough. All I can say is God bless you women who know what you want and will go after it. If there were more of you, I wouldn't be sitting at home alone every weekend. I can't help but feel that women who think a man has to do all the work aren't worth the trouble. You have to find out the hard way that you are wasting your time. Men fear rejection more than anything else in the world. I know it keeps me from trying to meet a lot of women I have been interested in. I don't know about you guys, but I have often been interested in someone, but wouldn't make a move, only to have them tell me at some point in time, like for instance after they married someone else, that they always had a "thing" for me. This results in me wanting to hit my head against a brick wall until I am severely brain damaged.

Where are the love-help articles for men?!
Posted:

Face it. Men don't want to go through the effort. That's why there aren't enough of those posts. They just want to sit around, fart, burp, act like you're not even there and then expect to get laid. That's the way they are.
I can’t believe what I am reading here. Couldn’t you have said “Most” men? How would you like it if I said “Women are all whores. They think men owe them something for sex, but at least prostitutes are honest about what they are doing.”
I’d hate to meet that attitude on a first date. Men don’t stand a chance, do we?
Ouch! It is going to be a long, lonely life.
