RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

You need to step back just a minute and READ what you wrote...

... when you, a woman, aren't "looking" a man who WAS "looking" found you and it was the best relationship you've had to date. Most recently, again when you a WOMAN weren't particularly "looking" a MAN who WAS "looking" found you on another site and ya'll are pretty much head-over-heels at the moment which is good for you and him IMO.

However, if you'll stand back and read what you wrote you might notice that in each instance YOU the WOMAN wasn't looking but HE the MAN WAS looking or else you would have been 2 ships just passing in the night never noticing one another!

Ergo (and I can't believe I have to spell this out really) if I a MAN am NOT "looking" then I a MAN will NOT be "finding" either.

Of course zero result vs. zero result isn't really any difference either way one looks at it.

So count your lucky stars, you're the "pursued" gender as luck would have it. For some reason you're thinking that this "love will find you when you're not looking" logic works the same if the gender's are reversed but it does not I can assure you.

My little sister hasn't been single for more than a month since she turned 16 years old... I remember one entire month she went without a date and she was on the phone to my mother and I crying hysterically about it. A month!

Misery does not love company... Misery needs hope. And I'm all out.

Personal attacks!

No... sorry, but you're not my type. Good luck with that though.

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

When you are actually having some dates (which, you are), it's alot easier to do that though hun.

As the saying goes, walk a mile in my shoes... then if you like them, you'll have a head start and I'll be barefoot!

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

Well, I spent several months and several thousand dollars with a realtionship therapist talking and asking "What is wrong with me? Why does nobody I send a message to ever write back? Why do I go years without a single damned date?" and his conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with me that I should be a really good "catch" (non-smoker no children college degreed fit taller than average good career own my home on acreage etc. etc. etc.) and he had no explanation as to why I wasn't having any dates.

And he came so highly recommended too.



Not around Houston or the State of Texas apparently... CBS local news reported a few years ago that there are over 70,000 MORE single men than women in the Houston metro area. When I do a search on CS, and enter in just the most basic of criteria I'd prefer for a 100 mile radius (non-smoker, no children, not obese), I come up with only a handful of matches... most of which haven't been on CS in over 4 weeks, and none of which have ever responded to my message attempts. So I'm doomed.

If I could just pack up my stuff pick up and move... well, I wouldn't know where to move to even. But I can't, so... I'm doomed, I guess.

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

Seriously... whatever you'd like to do. Gosh, and they say I'm too picky.



You poor thing... I wish I could say I feel your pain, but I can't. I'd be thrilled to have a date once a week... once a month... hell even once a year would be an improvement! I can't believe you're complaining about 1 day a week! *I* wouldn't even know what to do with someone 1 day a week! Geez!

- Michael

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

I probably shouldn't be at this point. Other men, who've had more and far better dating experiences than I, have committed suicide from being single too long (by drugs or alcohol, if not outright). My pain runs deeper than you can imagine.


Ok this is a contest that you WILL NOT WIN at! I've been on far far more for far longer than you. Do I need to list just the ones I can recall offhand yet again?



Seems to be a common theme amongst women. So what've I done to deserve being this single compared to those guys? Nothing, that's what! Those guys at least would deserve to be on CS with an empty inbox every day for years on end...

Regards.

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

I'm not looking for you to be sorry... you appear to be angry or frustrated with me because of my experiences, which just aren't good experiences when it comes to dating. Contrary to what you seem to think I didn't choose this... do I need to repeat all that I've tried already???? It's a heck of a list!

I'd love to be able to talk about good experiences... but I haven't HAD any!

I'm not an angry divorcee with lots of baggage like children and such, and unlike yourself I'd be flattered to have 21 to 30-something year old women actually trying to talk with me for a change... someone who hasn't had children with Mr. Wrong (and Mr. Wrong and sometimes Mr. Wrong also... you just have no idea what I'm asked to deal with here I swear!).

Soon Tiger Woods wife will be yet another single mom... and I bet Tiger won't date single mom's but won't have any lack of women to go out with in spite of all he's done.

But I digress... as I said previously, being a single male on here is a totally different experience than being a single female on here apparently; we're ignored for the most part (as plenty of other men on here have complained about already). Is this somehow my fault... I can honestly say I was born this way! (a male, that is)

I've not been in a relationship, period. You've done much better than I from the sound of it. Practically everybody has me beat hands down already... try having no baggage at all, no ex's no nothing. I don't remember from 1 date to the next what a date is supposed to be like even, they're so far and few between here.

While I could be mistaken, I don't believe it's an LDR when the other person is coming into your area on a regular basis and going out with you and you've already been looking at moving to the other person's area anyhows... Too soon to call it an R of any type really, but hopefully this leads to another R for you. Good luck. My hat's off to you!

RE: Too many women?

Uhmm... I think I really really hate you just now Robert.

From my point of view you've had it wayyyyy too good man. Way too good.

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

Oooh! Put some steel-toed boots on and kick me some more why don't ya?

- Michael

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

Yes it was.



Read the Poll title again... Hello! If I was actually having dates or had a chance of having dates then I wouldn't have wasted my time posting my experiences on this topic. I wish my experiences were different... I wish Tiger Woods would have my experiences instead, he would be deserving of them at least. I on the other hand don't deserve this IMHO.



Every suggestion was either something I had already tried (sometimes for years on end to no avail!) or something I am unable to do.

On here, yes I have given up... I've been on CS for over 2 years now and it's a dead end. There's no point in trying to pretend otherwise. Why should I lie about it?

Who am I pushing away exactly? Who? My profile get's viewed by 2 or 3 women a day at most, thousands of miles away typically... read the poll's topic again! It's VERY bad here where I am. There're typically more women seeking women than women seeking men where I am... most of the women seeking men profiles are fake in my area! Don't ask how I know this.

Being positive never had any effect either... you think I got this way from being single only a few months or a year or two? Or that I'm just somehow between girlfriends?

Real good job of being supportive there hun. With support like this a guy could spend alot of time in the hospital with broken bones and internal injuries! Eeeek!

Finally, you don't seem to be having that hard a time meeting people from what I'm reading here... good for you. I'm not criticizing, I just wish I was having half as much success as you are. It is not the same experience, being a single male on here, as what you women experience. Not even close! I'm not saying you have it easy, but I bet any man you send a message to on CS WILL at least reply back and talk with you a little bit... walk a mile in my shoes, have the empty inbox month after month after month with nobody you've written to replying back. Then tell me how positive it makes you feel.

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

No I don't actually... I wish you the best of luck with it, it sounds like a good thing to me. He lives where you kinda wanted to move back to anyhows... so, good for you.

You seem to think you know me, but you don't.

- Michael

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

Ummm... well gee thanks alot. I feel about 2 inches tall now... here, kick me again why don't ya?

- Michael

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

Well good for you then!

I take it that this isn't the same guy who was showing you all his vehicle titles then?

- Michael

RE: Worse Ratio of Women to Men in the world

Not every post I make... go see the one with the sleeping kitten in the Photos forum!



Only a few details? You don't know me too well... lol!



I find it really doesn't matter one way or another what my emotional state might be. I've read psychologist studies that men with women enjoy life and "radiate" happiness alot more than single men who haven't had a date in a very long time. Like you need a degree in pschology to figure that out?

Maybe you missed it, but I'm hardly the only single male complaining about the women or lack there'of on here. Note the title of this topic?

I think I'd enjoy life alot more if I just had a decent movie and dinner date every so often at least.

RE: Should we have mail order brides and grooms?

I don't know what to do.... I ran out of good ideas years ago already.

I remember in the mid-1990's when 4 single men in Houston pooled money and bought billboards around Houston trying to find dates... as far as I know, they got alot of prank phone calls and not much else out of it. After a few months the billboards just quietly dissappeared.

Another Houston area man was on the news after his mail order bride arrived in the states and within a week had him arrested claiming he had abused her... apparently, if a woman not a citizen of the US claims she was abused by a US citizen then by law she cannot be deported. The guy had lost his job, his home, and was in danger of losing his freedom because of this fiasco and he swears he did no such thing to her and there is absolutely no evidence of any kind indicating anything took place... yet prosecuters have no choice but to go by the woman's word (a Columbian national he'd met off a mail order brides of Columbia website). That law though well intentioned I'm sure is very easily abused by those who want a "get into the US and be allowed to stay free" card. Scary stuff that!

But far too many single gals around here are obese or pregnant with their ex's love child... BBW's abound.

I have no idea what to do anymore. It's depressing.

- Michael

RE: How hard is it really, to find someone willing to date a single mom?

I hear that Tiger Woods will be single again soon... and he seems to have a thing for blonde caucasian women at that!

Coincidence, or providence? Hmmmmm....

RE: 10 RULES FOR DATING

Now that could get a fella in trouble... can you say, "jailbait"?

Actually you shouldn't have to ask anybody their age it should be truthfully listed in your profile or volunteered up-front.

Personal attacks!

LOL!

Did I ever mention that I think we all have room for improvement? Well I'll say it again anyhows.

- Michael

Personal attacks!

Robert I make typos too, they happen to everybody (and can be quite funny sometimes in fact). But, I bet YOU don't go around criticizing other people's education on here, do you? There'in lies the difference.

I've seen several times in these forums where people did go criticizing somebody else's education (often with extremely harsh language) while themselves making mispellings and using incorrect grammar all over the place... that's just plain ignorant I'm sorry to have to point out. You don't go around telling others how imperfect they are unless you yourself have demonstrated nothing but perfection.

Let he without sin cast the 1st stone.

Regards and have a great Christmas Holiday!

- Michael

Personal attacks!

Well, you were doing real well right up to the very end there hun... lol!

Typos, gotta love 'em. Happens to everybody at some point so don't feel bad about it.

btw: He wasn't my "type", ok.

RE: Are we looking for the perfect mate instead of a real person?

All of thee above.

- Michael

RE: Are we looking for the perfect mate instead of a real person?

He brought the titles to all his stuff on a date to show? Ok that's just a little odd IMHO.

Maybe he just doesn't know any other way to interact with a woman on a date other than to try to impress her with his monetary worth? Maybe he was just trying to show in the most literal way possible that he's a responsible person (as opposed to so many guys who are deep in debt and own nothing more than the shoes they're wearing, living in a trailer house with their mother)?

Maybe he's not a bad person, just a little clueless... I feel that way often myself truth be told.

- Michael

RE: Are we looking for the perfect mate instead of a real person?

Everybody has room for improvement. Far too many aren't trying though, which leads me to think that may be 1 reason they're single and on here which is sad.

Regards!

- Michael

Personal attacks!

Ok 1st, they're prohibited according to CS policy on posting in the forums... you CAN get da'boot outta here for posting personal attacks against others if I'm not greatly mistaken!

And 2nd, if you're going to attack someone calling them "uneducated" then YOU should at least be educated enough not to have mispellings and poor grammar in your OWN postings, ESPECIALLY in your personal attack post itself! Geez!

Everybody has the right to their own opinions, based hopefully on their observations, life experiences, personal beliefs and at least a high school level education... you don't have to like anybody's opinion, feel free to disagree with any of mine at any time... but you should at least respect the opinions of others on here.

In my time on these CS forums I've seen repeated personal attacks made against other posters calling their education into question... while the attacker has mispellings and incorrect grammar all throughout their own post! It's happened to me overnight now finally.

Good grief Charlie Brown! People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

You don't have to disrespect somebody to disagree with them.

Regards and everybody try to have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

RE: is being attracted to someone important or am I just being too shallow.

I just love that I'm uneducated, yet you're the one who can't spell "arrogant" right.

It says alot about a person when they call other people uneducated with a posting full of misspellings.

You should be embarrassed at yourself... really!

- Michael

RE: is being attracted to someone important or am I just being too shallow.

Well that was ugly Scoutmaster... evidentally you need to learn to actually READ as well as spell, as I DID mention the THYROID as a possible problem but YOU apparently didn't read what I wrote!

Take your name calling elsewhere. That was a very rude post you made to/about me and I did not deserve it.

RE: National health care dead!

So does the US these days... what's your point? Almost every intersection in Texas has camera's mounted atop the stop lights (and I'm not talking about the red-light revenue generators that are going up now also). The local governmnents have cameras atop light poles watching the streets, cameras atop buildings watching the streets, and at apparrently every intersection... and of course now they're putting red light cameras up to generate more revenue right and left!

Finally every business has cameras watching you, in the stores and in the parking lots. Cameras cameras everywhere! Most teenagers today don't know a world without cameras watching their every move at Walmart.

It's literally the book "1984" coming to pass just a little later than the author had thought.

Every day I like the societys we live in less and less.

RE: National health care dead!

Must be good to be you then... I went to the doctor for an ear infection and spent $80, then went to the pharmacy to get the prescription for antibiotic ear drops filled and it was this little tiny bottle of drops... for $240!

And that was just for 1 seasonal ear infection last Fall.

2 years ago I had to go to the ER for a sliver of metal that had gotten thrown into my eye in a minor accident... I went to my doctor 1st that evening (since the clinic was still open and they could just get me in), for $80 they told me that they couldn't remove the sliver of metal that they didn't have the "right tools" to do it with and that I HAD to go straight to the ER and have it removed that night right then no arguments! I went to the ER, spent over 4 hours waiting (and trust me this damned thing hurt like hell)... when I finally got to see an ER doctor after midnight, he removed it in less than 5 minutes... specialty tools used: 3 drops of anestheic eye drops, a cotten swab and a clean syringe (needle). He flicked the metal sliver right out with the tip of the needle.

Total ER bill for 4 hours of waiting and 5 minutes of actual doctor time and those oh so special tools: $650!

I calculated that out and it is something like $7,800.00 an hour for that foreign object body removal that night. He was good I grant him that, but $7,800.00 an hour good? I just don't think so!

And you think health care is cheap again why?

I must not live in your world where health care is cheap. Wish I did though.

RE: ARE YOU ALONE THIS CRISTMAS?

It's depressing... about the same as the Christmas before, and the Christmas before that, and the Christmas before that, and the Christmas before that, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc....

I've never had a girlfriend to buy for for Christmas or Valentines Day or anything. I'm always on the outside looking in at everybody else...
