LOL, I love these posts!

"Nice guys finish last..."
"women who prefer a good looking man over the pie-faced loser (even though he's a self-proclaimed "nice guy") are just selfish, superficial b!tches who will end up alone."
"Men who only date the young, pretty girl are just jerks."
"any man who won't accept me and my kids isn't a real man, f**ck him!!"
"Personality is what's most important."
"I don't base my choices on looks."

Yeah, yeah right. So tell me something, if all of this is true, why are there sooooo many people "alone and lonely" who just want "a person with a nice personality who will love me for who i am"??? Hmmm?

Answer: you like what you like. And you prefer what you prefer. Period. You might prefer a person of a certain ethnicity (yeah i know racism doesn't exist, you don't see color, yadda yadda, puhleeze), a certain age (yeah, i know "age is just a number", but to me it's an important number, so no thanks if you're above or below a certain age), a certain height (i have a friend who will not, any under circumstances, date a man shorter than her) a certain weight (sorry, 'real men' lol), you might not want to financially support the single mom/dad with the 4 kids (no matter how "nice" they are) who's between jobs or who's so saddled down with child support for those aforementioned 4 kids (this is a true story, i know a man who pays his ex half his pay check every two weeks).

So what do you do? You deal. You don't whine about how you're a nice guy with a great personality and a plain face, but a good heart, who just wants to be loved. And you don't get mad at the man who runs in the opposite direction when you mention your "3 wonderful kids who are your world." Just find someone who has 3 kids of their own and hope they want to add you to the "world."

I'm sure this will piss alot of people off and that wasn't my intention. I'm not looking to date or meet anyone from here, but I know that many are. But it just bothers me that so many people are content to whine about who doesn't want them, and how they should, because they're such a nice person, with a great personality.

I've tried dating guys who I thought should want me, too, and guess what? They didn't. It doesn't matter why, sometimes even they didn't know why. This one guy could only tell me, it "felt wrong." And I had to accept that.

I hope everyone who is looking finds exactly what they want, or at least something pretty close to it. I just wish we could all accept rejection and not let it cut our hearts out. Life is too short.flowerforyou

okay so what is it looks or beauty or personality or all 3...
i just don't know anymore. i prefer a nice guy that is just an all round person before some other woman got a hold of him or vice versa.

virgins are nice, because they are not done cooking in the oven yet......looks not important.... and they don't know about alot of things. however, they have their standards, and sometimes old women don't meet them.
they want kids for instance. who wants kids when u r older than dirt?:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

ya it sucks nice guys don't get the girls anymore


From what I'm seeing, it isn't about "nice," it's more about "mainstream." The closer a guy fits into being a cookie-cutter cardboard cutout, the better chance he'll be scooped up by a cookie-cutter cardboard woman. Since there are so many more of them than there are are multi-dimensional people, it tends to work in favor of the one-dimensionals. Say the right things and read from the script, and you'll do just fine.

All in all, some people have thier "one" and some don't. I don't believe that everyone really does have thier one person. I know multiple people that have passed away never married n whatnot. So! thats why dating is a "game".

I disagree. When I look at all the women on here I feel that they are too pretty for me. If one was a real sea hag then I would maybe have a chance.

You have to have a little of both in my honest opinion. For example, I've met a lot of beautiful girls that had either no personality at all or a very bad (psycho) personality. No amount of looks can compensate for the fact that you have the emotion and intellect of a day old doughnut. On the other hand, I have met truly fascinating, smart, and kind people that were great to be around but didn't have the basic physical attraction I need to consider a more intimate relationship. I am not vein and tend to lean more in favor of the great personality, but I need some physical attraction. It would be nice to meet someone that had it all (and thought the same of me) but I am not holding my breath or anything.

If you're so worried about your physique, why not exercise? You may do more than your looks a lot of good.

...and for height...well, there's always platform shoes. ;-)
