In 49 yrs, one thing i have learned in life, is It TAKES BOTH, or 2,
One wont work, so we must find that right one, Not just someone!!!!!, and it can take years, so while we look , we can be Fixig out selves, not waiting for someone to accept us, we still have things to fix about US!

LadyPhoenix1965: I used to generalize my comments to 'all men' when my marriage went sour and then I got divorced. I was all about spewing my negative man venom, until one day my dad said: "Gee, thanks kid." Three little words knocked me for a loop. I started to look around at my life and realize some things: my dad is a good man; my brother is a good man; my son is growing into a fine man... I won't do that anymore. There are some men who only think with one tool, but they are individuals. There are also some women who are bitter and tainted and make the rest of us look bitter for posting an honest question. We ALL need to stop generalizing and meet each person as an individual, worthy of a fresh start.
Ok. Now that was well stated!

That's the best way I've ever heard it said on here, LP!!!!! You are so right! I don't bash the ones that come on with the bitter threads anymore, regardless of gender, I just try to remind them gently that it's not all men or all women. You can't blame everyone for what one did...and if it was more than one, you have to look inside for your own part in creating the problem and change what you're doing wrong. People also love to blame the rest of the world for their issues, and not look inside themselves to see if they're part of their own problems (which most of us are).

Thanks, Dru!
I've met some really 'cool' women on here that I think I would get along well with. Too bad we couldn't all get together and really have a drink. ------ This thread is Archived ------

I'm not argumentative. I said that. We are entitled to opinion.
You ask for some honesty. I delivered that. You seem to be contradictory of your own statement insinuating I am generalizing.
Who are you to suggest tainted and bitter? Wake up woman! I give you a nice compliment for your post and you turn on me like a viper! Who's spewing negative venom? You seem very submissive. Does that make you feel better now that I have categorized you?
Your also the perfect ticket for that dominate man. How does that feel? Don't you refer to me as tainted and bitter in your beat around the bush manner! Geezous.. I posted honestly and now I'm a villian!

In my experience, when the women get together, the men are never very far behind...

LadyPhoneix I hope I didn't offend you and you didn't take my posts to heart cause I'm just not into self-help books is all.If I did I apolgize.
Anyhow, I've been told that men are are visual creatures and then I've been told that men are forgiving of our flaws.(whatever that's supposed to mean)
My late husband told me that he didn't like small women and perferred them with meat on their bones.During the time I was pregnant with my son I'd gain alittle extra weight.After I gave birth to our son I wanted to lose it and he told me no and didn't want me to do it.I explained to him that I wanted to lose the extra weight because of my back and knee problems.So he finally gave in and I lost those extra pounds.
What was so funny even though he'd said what that he perferred women with alittle extra pounds he still looked at the ones who were skinny.I still laugh about that even today.

Which is exactly why there is such a thing as Lady's night at clubs and bars. There's free admission for the ladies and then later the men are allowed in, but of course we have to pay because the place is filled with ladies who have been drinking and having fun without men. So it becomes a privilege to enter. I always approach the door as if to talk to the doorman and then turning to the line up I say.."He says we have to line up alphabetically..My name is Aaron Ableson".

1fawn: Yes ! very well stated however, It is not only women who can become bitter. Men alike. Stereotyping is fickle and capricious.
Anyone can become bitter if they allow themselves to be. We all know that. I don't believe I ever said that ONLY women can become bitter. But I honestly think that there are more bitter women than men, especially older women, simply because of what I call the Butterfly Factor. But I won't bore you with the details of that.

In response to: Looking for some honest responses please.
I've read more than a few books on how to relate better to men. One factor that keeps coming up is that they are 'visual'. In many profiles I read that men want a woman that 'takes good care of herself'. Now *I* take that to mean that they want someone young, thin, and gorgeous, and I tend to move on to the next profile cause, hey, I'm 44 and wearing the body of a woman that's had 3 kids. Am I wrong???
Also, if men are so visual, what makes them walk into a room full of people, with a date on their arm, and not simply seek out the 'next best thing', so to speak? What makes them stay with that woman?
