One thing that always cracks me up is when I see a woman's profile and in said profile there is a line that says something about " the man I would like to find must know what he wants and have goals in his life ".
Well..I am 38 ( soon to be 39 ) perfectly happy in my job, and I enjoy being me. Someone to share my ( limited ) life with would be great. But other than that, things are good for me. My " goal " is to keep breathing for the next few years. If that's not enough of a " goal " for the ladies out there...I don't know what to tell you. Shouldn't the fact that a guy is actually happy with who he is count for something? Isn't a woman specifying that a man have " goals " actually a code word for saying " You best better have in mind a way to make more money than you do now "? |

My goal is to make it through the day with out screaming to much

I think...perhaps...a better way to put it is "looking for a man who doesn't sit on his ass all day playing video games or watching TV..or who lives with his parents for any reason other than necessity...must be willing to put real effort into whatever constitutes a happy life together with future partner."
Does that make better sense? |

Yep. So why not just say that?
I mean if " have goals " actually means " have a job " then why try to dance around the question??? |

My goals right now are to get certified as a project manager, then to go to grad school. I have a job and it's decent, though I'm not happy with decent. I want to continue to learn and move forward. |

What women really mean, is goals other than trying to dip the winkie at the first oppotunity... |

Ok. But refer, in that case, to my opening post. Does that mean that since my only goal is to do what I am happy doing that I am basically not date worthy? Being comfortable with who and where I am isn't acceptable? Wouldn't a woman rather be with someone who is enjoying what they do for a living rather than someone who is completely miserable because they ( like 80% of other Americans ) hate their job?? |

That's good that you enjoy what you do for a living. Though, someone having goals to move up in their career aren't necessarily miserable at their jobs or hate what they do. |

Walk up to any 100 random strangers and do a survey on how many of them are happy with their job. I would be willing to bet that at least 80 of them aren't. |

Hmmm..well...some would consider my job " menial " since I don't make a whole lot of money compared to someone doing the same job in California ( for example ). Then again....the cost of living in Cali is a far sight higher than it is here. How many people working at McDonald's who are out of high school are actually happy to be working there? Not too many I would venture to guess. I guess what I am trying to say is....shouldn't the fact that your guy is happy, actually go a fair distance toward YOUR happiness? I like the job I am in. I have been there for 7 years now. I may have to wait another 4 or 5 years before I can get into a position there that pays more than what I make now, but I am still enjoying myself. It's not necessarily a " goal " of mine to get into a job there that makes more...mainly because with my background, money doesn't mean much of anything to me, but I know that I will be able to eventually. Does that mean that I should wait until THEN to try to find someone? Doesn't your man being happy with who he is and what he does translate into you being treated better?? |
