Then trying to find someone who will be good not just for me but a good influence around my kids...heaven forbit if I should find a petafile or worse!

Someone's gotta lay da bricks...........

I know...it's tough when you have more than just you to consider....

Better you than me!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see you site your sources for that statistic.

I raise my kids BY MYSELF. When they are at their mom's she's too drunk to look after them.

From the day they were born, I worked full time running a busness. When I got home (while I was married) they had dirty diapers, and filthy head to toe. The house in shambles, and wifey laying on the couch with a open bottle of wine on the table.

I worked all day, came home, changed their diapers, bathed them, fed them, and took them out of the house. Do I expect sympathy? No. I just did/do damage control and hope the kids will turn out fine.

And that's MY Side.

That being said, I know plenty of women who do EVERYTHING and their hubbies are at the bar with their bro's whooping it up and coming home drunk expecting to get laid.[/b] As though that is their inherant right.[/b] It's bullshit as far as I'm concerned.

The story runs both ways.

Funny, here in the states I know plenty of women in construction, the military, Road repair, The police force, etc. AND they skydive, bungie jump, Race cars, and "spearing the Dragon" as you put it. Some even better than the men...

Well said...because it does work both ways...outside of traditional stereo-types!!!!!!!

Because that's what they are is stereo-types....

Brilliant.

WoW! Amen is all I can say....

Bravo!
I personally know two women MASONS, WHO CAN HANDLE a trowel better than half the guys.

No it's not true! not all women are alike is a matter of fact we are all different in our own right.
we have all lived in different circumstances and we all like different things.
If you truley want to know what a women wants just ask! It's not a big secret. But we are all different not one of us is the same as another. If we were then we would be way to easy to replace.
Do not judge us by what you might have seen in another!
And no you can't win if you don't play!!!

I really don't think we want anything to much different from what you want.
Women have had bad expeinces with men too, God I could go on and on how you can not satisfy a man, But Gee guess what? Your not all alike! Thank God!
If you want to know what a women wants ask her, if you don't understand what she is saying ask her to explain She will be happy to help you out. And what we tell you can be held against us ten years down the road! We wont deny we said it durring a ten day expiration period like men. If we changed our mine we will tell you that too.
Ok going now to look for a new site where I can stereo type men.

At Birth?

I truly resent that!!!!!!!

I'm not pretending........ I'm always an a$$hole

My policy...when asked to talk about yourself...describe portray yourself in an average way....not to the point where they lose interest but just enough to keep in interesting...if put on the spot and asked "how good ru in bed?" jokingly respond with it will only take a minute! 45sec. to finish...15sec to regret it...i stress JOKING!! with this you are not setting expectations to high....also it shows you have a sense of humor...lastly and most importantly..if you are one of those guys who just happens to "great" in so many ways....this will show ur not full of yourself since once it does make it 2the bedroom she'll be the one to umm....make your ego as big as necessary..

But isn't down playing still lying?

I still prefer to keep it real.....

Yea... keep it real on a first date.... You know she will

Just dont exchange a list of meds that each of you are taking!

If I keep it real, and she doesn't, yeah, I might feel a sting, but I'm not gonna change the way I am to avoid the heartache.

Very insightful and very true. I am who I am and nothing else. That doesn't mean I can't aspire to greater things but for now this is the real me.
An interesting fact is that those who are not comfortable with being alone are "desperate" to find someone. However those who are comfortable with being alone are truly ready to move on.
Have a good day.

I think that's very true...Well said...

Iv read all 4 pages to this thread and see the same thing 'moaning' .advice for you men out there you say 1)a woman only wants sex when she feels like it ' damn right we do after all its our bodys so we should choose when it gets a bashing plus we are not always guaranteed release like you are 2) if a wo/man makes lunch/dinner its only fair you do the cleanup afterwards ,or vice versa 3) if you leave something lying on the floor (laundry ect) it doesnt make its own way back to where it came from 4) you complain that 'women moan and nag' if you research this you will find that men 'whine and nag' 20% more than we do .Before you all start bitching 'i am NOT' pointing at all men here ,just look at what you moan about and see if theres anything you can change for the better rather than saying the usual 'women moan at this or nag at that'.If you were to reverse roles half of you wouldnt know what to do .I (as many others probably do) give what i recieve , not take what i think iv earned and i certainly wouldnt paint everyman with the same brush !!!

AMEN!!

Find yourself before you find someone else
