In today's world, in my experience, I have found men to be very superficial. I'm a full figured gal and I find men seem to want women who are skinny, tanned, blonde and who make a lot of money.
Are there men out there who, from their heart, say lines like those in books and movies?
Can men really love just one woman? Have eyes for just one woman? I truly wonder if they even exist. Lord knows I haven't met many of them. A rare breed indeed.

I know that sometimes i come off as a dork to some ppl but I know that I am a gentleman.

money and looks have never been inportent to me.

I get judged based on my how i look all the time and trust me I know how it feels

Love from me comes from the heart and finding ppl who are like that are very very hard eather you keep finding the losers or the weirdos

hope this helps u out
if you wanna talk send me a message

You can't fault people for being attracted to whatever body shape, hair colour, facial feature, or whatever it may be, that turns their crank. It doesn't make anyone any less of a gentleman, or a lady.

As far as romance novels and Hollywood, that crap is churned out to fill your head full of fluffy ideas, and extract hard earned cash from your wallet, nothing more.laugh

One man, one woman, isn't that what the vast majority of people are after? dunno

I have been fortunate to meet some very wonderful gentlemen...Yes they do exist...Look at the ones that have posted here..and thats just a small sample...As for lines like in the movies...Please..I would prefer him to just say that he cares as spew alot of garbage like in a movie..Its not the words themselves or the gifts he may buy...Its what is in his heart that matters...It is the simple things in life that matter the most and that stay with us forever...

people tend to forget that everyone is diffrent and has a mind of there own and find it easy to blame one persons fault on the rest

Well, you've opened a whole new can of worms there, if you are stating that you are "full figured"!! laugh

There's been massive debates on here as to what "full figured" or "skinny" or "average" means!! It goes into pages and pages of debate!! roll eyes laugh I therefore, conclude that that old cliche of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is perhaps actually true!

I am an old romantic, so yes, I hope that romantic and genuine guys still exist out there! I think that romance and love are very tightly bound though. I would feel really uncomfortable going on a "romantic" type first date. I think you can only truely be romantic with someone that you love and care for, even if that love is just in it's earlist stages. It's a state of mind....not just a bunch of roses and a candlelit dinner.

Well I'm sure you're right or maybe they just seem like gentlemen in the presence of ladies and certain people but for the most part all guys aren't true gentleman at heart and just pretend to be in order for appearances or to get what they want =S

Ladies I have always found that you get what you are looking for..Gentlemen are not going to jump up and bite you in the butt..you have to look for them..these days it appears to be a crime to be a gentleman so some try to hide the fact..But they are definitely out there....

Thinking that a large part of this is society in general being all about the individual gratification.

Look around, there is not a whole lot geared to anything beyond self and personal wants. There are gentlemen and it's just how we are but it takes thinking about more than just ones self and instant gratification

I agree alot of people focus is geared for self and personal wants.
I find it sad reading alot of the above posts as I wondering what you ladies are looking for if there is no gentlemen left around anymore.

my post was cut off this is my whole message

I find it sad reading a lot of the above posts as I wondering what you ladies are looking for if there is no gentlemen left around anymore. I find it as posted above you get a lot of what you give now that’s not always the case. If you’re looking for trouble it will find you.
I think we need to look for the good more and not always focus on the negative.
For example why is there so many rules for posting in a forum?

Balladman, you seem to have directed your anger at a friend of mine. I am not here to argue with you and I don't like someone bad mouthing my friends.

Some of what langleygirl said is true, perhaps she hasn't been lucky enough to meet that gentleman she is waiting for. I think she meant most of what she said as a joke.

Then again some of what you have said is right and I think maybe you have met one or two of those women who have hurt you. Now hold on don't get all riled up, I am not here to start something, I am just remarking on what I have read.

I do think you owe langleygirl an appology, either here or in a private e-mail. You don't seem to know this lady, she is the one who stands up for her believes and her friends and that my friend is hard to find nowadays.


Balladman, I think you will do whats right. Thank-You
