I've been wanting to ask this question for awhile....

[Since 78]

Don't listen to the witches of MR, dude, as they're obviously not in the same age range you're looking for.

And he should listen to who, then? You? Because you're so respectful of women, and you can help him?

In case you're unaware... those "pricks who treat the girls like shit" that ebake mentioned in the first post - that's you, little boy. I promise you, more girls are going to go for the ebake type for a long term relationship before they're going to settle with an arrogant loudmouth who thinks he's better than everyone. There's a term for guys like that ... "Mr. Right Now"

Good one!


I think you are Ok taking advice from most of the women here ebake.

No shit, Sherlock!

I'm not a relationship kinda guy though, but to each their own.

The women of the world are collectively thankful for that.

"I'm not a relationship kind of guy" = "I'm pretty selfish and I don't really like women or have any use for them, unless they're getting naked for me."

Saying you're not a relationship kind of person even if you are is the single person's equivalent to walking down the street talking into your cell phone to look important when there's no one on the other end.

Hi Eric. My son is a shy one. He is dating a girl right now who loves his geeky shyness. It takes all kinds. You have plenty to offer. The right girl will come your way!

And for the record Parfait. I have been asked to marry 4 times in my life. One was a huge mistake on my part. One was not quite right, and I called it off. Another was when I divorced and Oh so OLD and UGLY. But I knew he was not right for me and my children. And one I will spend the rest of my life with. I was older when he asked me. Not to mention countless dates when I was your age. Seriously do you plan on being alone, and unhappy when the looks fade? That is what your aiming for at this rate. But if that is all you want, your welcome to that. My only issue is insulting the lovely ladies here on this board because you think it is funny. We have great guys and gals here on this forum. What good is a cupcake made with gorgeous toppings and sprinkles if the cake is made with crap?

Hi Eric. Congrats on the 3 pager.

To answer your question, many women go through a "bad boy" phase at some point. A lot don't mean to, and half the time it takes us a long time to figure out just how much shit we've put up with before we regain a sense of self and move on. A few women can't get out of the cycle or choose to stay in it because of some deep rooted Daddy-issue or other problems. But my advice to you is reevaluate the caliber of woman you're looking for. Are you just assuming because of a bad few that we're all like that? Look for a mature girl who knows who she is and what she wants and is confident enough in herself to recognize a decent guy. You'll be able to spot her by her manners, composure, and grace.

You absolutely are not.

You're one of the smartest, classiest people I've ever known.
And you've changed so much since we've met - I'm like a proud big sister over here!!
(not that you weren't great to start with!!)

[Rhiannon]

I have ZERO game in terms of pickups and all that shit

LIES!! Any man who gets drunk, puts on a shower cap and dances with another drunk man wearing a shower cap has game.

(PS... a lot of women hate guys with "game". It shows us you're versed in introductory deception. Makes us wonder. That last part about being yourself, that's the ticket.)

Nail/head.

Introductory deception... I like that. Well, I don't like it... ... but I like the term.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game" - wrong. I do hate the players. Without the players, there'd be no game.

And you are too BJG. What I meant by aren't we all..........was that those creeps make us doubt ourselves sometimes. Why? Who knows. And Eric, games and pick up lines are old, outdated, stupid, and used to make me roll my eyes and walk away. Say hello, be yourself, what could be more charming than someone who is thoughtful? My husband still opens doors for me. My son did for his girl the other night. She told me it was refreshing and she was glad I raised him to respect her and treat her like a lady. She was sick of self serving jerks. He was a breath of fresh air to her.

Ouch! Why do women hate me?!

I wonder why, Parfait, I wonder why?


I think hate is a strong word..........irritation comes to mind. But your our little irritation. Like a rash on your bum that you cannot reach.

Hey, you asked me to cook. I was being polite and checking to see if you had certain food allergies. =P

That's how I felt when I was first dating my ex-h. I knew it the day we were walking somewhere and he moved to walk on the side closer to the curb, where traffic is. His grandma taught him that. I had heard that before and never thought I'd meet a guy who even knew that. It was pretty cool. He always opened doors for me, but he stopped opening car doors once we got one with power locks and a key fob.

The first sign of trouble. But 8 years into marriage and I still love the treatment. He puts me first. Always. I am so in love.

[S2M]

I never understood the opening doors for women...I do it, but not because it is expected....women strive to be equals but still EXPECT men to do this antiquated stuff...if you are truly equal open your own doors...again, I do it..but out of habit, I guess....I won't give up my seat either...you've got two legs...use them. Again...equality is a bitch...ain't it? you know who gets my seat? The elderly...they've earned it.

[KenTheDude]

Eric,

Why don't you try online dating, like match.com? It worked for me. That is where I met Linda. We are coming up on the one year anniversary from the day we met in person - Sept. 4th. She moved into my house on Valentine's Day and we got married on the 4th of July.

Online dating used to have this tag that it was only for losers that could never get a real person. I have met all kinds online and there are some great ones. It works really well for shy types like you and me. Because you're able to take your time and figure out what you want to say in emails instead of it all being on the spot. Also, you're able to sort through the profiles and easily decide which ones have the same things in common that you do. It works, give it a try.

Not entirely untrue, lol, ... but I've experienced much worse. One thing I can say about him is at least he was a gentleman with those kind of things, for the most part.

I think it's the aura of a man that I find the most attractive! Javier Bardem is extremely sexy!
There are a few others; but at the moment Javier is just amazingly handsome. And the guy at my corner market who works in the vegetable and fresh fruit section. If they exude confidence and comfort in their body then I don't necessarily care about how they physically look; it's just that warm sexy feeling I get when they are approaching or talking to me! It definitely makes me smile!
