Oh puh leze. Do you REALLY think that the vast majority of the women who are material oriented are actually going to ADMIT to it on a dating site???

You have got to be kidding.


Leaving the materialism out of threads helps alot in this area, and is really only a secondary consideration.

No offense intended, Robbi, but like I've said several times in the past....when it's all you've been repeatedly shown, you tend to see the pattern. Granted, I'll admit not all women may be this way, I'm just speaking from my own personal experience. As a result, it's really no wonder how a person can become rather jaded.


May I ask what was the common denominator in these past bad experiences? And repeatedly shown the same behaviours...what was the common denominator there?


you, perhaps?


just some food for thought... if one continues to see the world through distorted lenses..(jaded) how is it possible to get a different veiw, other than clear the filters/lenses?


Again...common denominator can be a number of things such as but not limited too, geography, social setting, economy, status...quit using such a vague patsy.



Bah hahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The base common denominator, after taking away ALL OUTSIDE contributors....is still you...

and Mr Music is not a vague patsy.... you may be... but only you know that!!!

laugh laugh laugh laugh


It is a vague patsy, a common denominator is something that is common between each relationship...which can be, geography (this is location), economy (still hasn't changed), social setting (club, bar, nightclub, etc.), status (who's rich, who's poor)...I'm happy with myself and don't care to change myself for you or anyone else for that matter, I don't live my life to please others and have changed my life for the better already (something you won't know because your rather avid with assumption and won't bother to find out).

So your little common denominator theory is blown to the wind and the only way you can substantiate it is by saying "take all the bases away, it is still you"...if by bases you mean "supporting part" which can as well be you, me, or anyone else for that matter. It is a vague patsy.

You may call it what you wish, it makes no difference to me. I have no problem admitting that some of the blame may lie on me. By the same token, I'd rather be alone and wonder about what might've been, while still knowing whatwill be, because I know exactly what to expect of myself. Perhaps someday, some crafty lady will change that opinion for me, but I find that possibility highly unlikely, for I don't believe such a lady exists. For any that may be willing to try their luck, don't feel bad if it doesn't work. You're in plenty of company.

This is not to say that I think of myself as "all that and a bag o' chips", it's just that I know the qualities, traits, characteristics, etc. that I look for in a woman. My standards are high, but I won't apologize for that, nor will I compromise. I've done that before. If that makes me an asshole, then so be it, but I still come out on top, because I don't have to answer to anybody for it.

I would say the 90% figure is a bit high. But I would also say that a lot of women spout the "looking for Mr. Right, lifetime companion, best friend, love honor and cherish" line but if they were honest with themselves are really looking for someone to put food on their tables and put their kids through college.



Oh would you please. That is sooooooooooooooo 90's maybe 50's.

Women today don't need men's $$ for their food, their kids or themselves.

There are probably more employed women (in good jobs) on this site than there are men.

I've never needed a man to support me. IF and when I WANT a man it will be for best friends and lovers. Hot sex and romantic dinners.

Depending on a man for $$ is pure history in today's society. Heck why are the percentages so high for unemployed 'dead beat' dads. It's the women who support the children in most singleparent homes too.

Unbelievable. whoa



like I said befor, the term "a lot" does not mean all. And if you feel that there are not at least some women who depend on a man for $ look at some of the posts in this site.

My views on marriage are more traditional, in a marriage should they chose to have children.. I believe the wife should stay at home with them, until they are in school, provided one income allows this
if it means that she becomes financially dependent then so be it, so long as she fulfills her role as wife and mother there shouldn't be a problem...now if she gets lazy or resentful about staying at home.. then something has to change...and once the child(ren) are school age I believe she should get a job

However this is marriage, not a relationship..relationships do not imply the same level of commitment...and each should be independent of their own, but this also implies that men would have to cook clean and do laundry, at the vary least their own because the households are seperate
