I've been in here for about 6-7 months, never really making any moves on anyone and not getting anyone showing an interest. I had someone send me a flower today. I sent back an email saying thank you and a couple reasons why I didn't think we would be compatible. Mainly the fact she wanted children and she's a little outside my age range, she's 33. I even complimented her on being a beautiful woman which she is. I wished her the best in finding that special someone.
Now I think I'll go bang my head against a wall or doorjamb.
The blonde thing might have something to do with it..lol
I think it depends on the man. Some men are more in touch with their feminine sides and relate to women easier and tend to be more nurturing. On the other extreme, there are men that are macho and think their d*ck are what rules and women are supposed to be subserviant. I like guys who are kind of in the middle.
I'd have to agree with the personality aspect. People who have a hard time opening up to their significant other often has a hard time expressing their problems and whatnot, and while she's being all angsty, the guy's wondering what the heck's going on.
Of course, this is all HYPOTHETICAL...no real experience behind that...~shifty eyes~
^^ But yes, personality and character have a lot to do with whether or not people are clueless to each other, because it still boils down to communication (or lack of). At least, in my opinion.
Indeed. I personally have the habit of associating it more towards women than men, mostly 'cause a man's personality and character is easier to figure out, judging my opinion from experience. ^^;

In general, yes, but when you find a puzzle worth solving its all works out and you learn everything he wants you to know about him, and sometimes even a little peak at what he doesn't even know about himself
According to feminist thinker Sandra Bem, gender is a continuum, not resembling the current dualistic model. Currently, there are certain characteristics that society engenders, such as empathy being a feminine trait and agressiveness being masculine. According to current though, men should have male traits and vise versa for females. Bem says, and I agree, that this is a constrictive societal model.
People, in reality, have combinations of masculine and femine traits. Perhaps confusion comes from people attempting to fit within this societal construct: e.g. men who supress their empathy and women who ignore their aggression. (There are, of course, many other traits; but for concision sake...)
Mayhap the people we mesh with romantically are people who's life experience and masculine/feminine "Profile" compliments our own.
