K guys listen up. Here's where you're screwing up. Take notes:
All women do not want the same thing.
Just asking this type question shows you have no interest in a woman as an individual. You think you can come here, post a thread like this and ask all women in general what they want, and then go out and use that information to find one. It doesn't work that way. If you're interested in a woman you need to find out what she wants, not what we want.
Went to church this morning, then to work, then had a lovely dinner with an interesting gentleman. He could actually carry his side of the conversation, I didn't feel like I was having to do all the talking. Very nice for a change!
The new SO doesn't want to deal with a psycho ex, whether he believes him or not. She needs to get her ex-relationship settled before she starts a new one.
If he's stalking or harassing her, she needs to take legal action. If it's not that serious, maybe she could think about having some big burly guy friends scare him a bit.
Or just do like I did, cuss him out and tell him never to f*ck with her again. Sometimes it works.
It's happened to me, after going through the whole is it me is it them ordeal a few times, I just figure it's neither, we're not a fit, and they did me a favor. Some men are just players, some are too scared, some who knows what their reason is. Don't worry too much about it.
Heard this line in a song, "If I ain't what you want you ain't what I need."
Hold your head up girl, there's nothing wrong with you./i]
Hey dg, hope you weren't offended by my drummer joke the other night. It was just too appropriate, never got to tell that one to a real drummer before!
I do not want a man who's a challenge in the sense that I have to chase him, or try to change him, or compete with every other piece of tail on earth for his attention. Thanks but no thanks, if I gotta fight for him, I don't need him.
I do like a man who can challenge me to think, to laugh, to really live. That I would kill for. I have had my fill of boring men. Give me someone who can actually think and carry on a fun conversation, and let him be for real. That's the kind of challenge I'm up for.
Oh hon, I know you know this, but you're supposed to be powerless over other people, places and things. The only power we have is over ourselves and our attitudes, actions and reactions.
Not giving others the reaction they seek is the only power we have over them. And that to me feels pretty powerful. As long as I was trying to control others I was beating my head against a brick wall. All's I got out of it was a bloody head. Not beating myself up cause someone wants me to, that is power!
Give yourself time to get over it. Don't jump right into a new relationship. It's not fair to them or you if you're not ready.
Don't worry so much about the pain, it won't kill you. Let yourself feel whatever you feel, don't try to drown it or numb it out, you can't get past it without going through it.
K, here's the deal. I'll talk to someone on the forums without a pic, get to know them here. But if a stranger without a pic sends me a message or flower, I'm not going to respond, may not even open it. Not cause looks matter so much, but it just seems like they've got something to hide.
You'll have a lot better luck with a pic than without, doesn't matter what you look like. Most of us just like having a face to go with the words. JMO.
Wasn't a personal attack dude, just answering the question, what puts me off. Some women might it. And yeah, we're probably all are a little lonely or we wouldn't have time to be here. But it doesn't define me. If it does you, then more power to ya.
Best not to have any expectations or preconceived notions when you first meet someone. Hopefully you've talked to them online and/or on the phone enough to know if their personality is to your liking. Go into it open-minded, let them be who they are, not who you want them to be. It's easier that way, then you can decide if this is someone you want to know better.
Some people I have decided I didn't really care to know better. Some I've felt I wanted to, but they didn't. Disappointment is a part of life, get over it. But then again I'm not normal, I'm not looking for a soul mate. But one thing this article says is really dumb, the less you know about a potential mate the better? I don't think so, unless all you want is a screw. In that case sure, don't even bother with their name. The whole point of relationships of any kind is getting to know the other person. You don't have to like everything, but that's the only way can you decide if there's more about them that you like or don't like and if you want to continue to get to know them.
RE: Whats your current mood?
Cautiously optimistic, and slightly confused.
