Like I said earlier Winx...and yet...they wonder

I want tacos. I like them.

Is that like the men who are looking for their queen or princess?

Winx, you mean that's not true?!?

Not everyone travels.

It's not true at all.

ex-zachary, Finally someone gets the point.

Hey ther, hows life in Texas, sunny and sandy I hope.

Your theroy has holes in it. Just because women do not explain their choices to you does not mean thay are liars.

While I like the outdoors, camping, fishing and hunting in very remote areas it does not mean I do it often. Or in the peak seasons where I have to deal with every amature out there.

Or that I want to tell a new acquaintence where I get "lost" on my personal time.

It might be that it is an expensive hobby and if I have to divide up my belongings because of a divorce or sell them off to pay a bill doesn't mean I have never used or actually owned the "gear". If you are out of any hobby or move to a new area you are not going to be up on all equipment. Or where to buy it. Or for that matter where to go.

Or that I do something that could compromise my saftey with someone I have just begun to date. I value my saftey and unfortuneately I have met a lot of folks who profess to be responsible outdoors men and I wouldn't go with them to the park. Dope smoking drunks would definitely head that list but wouldn't be on my date list either.

Or that I will necessarily tell someone where my favorite camping/ hunting/fishing locations are; fishing ettiquette kind of makes that something you share with close friends and points out a selfish "sportsman", just to prove that I have done such things in the past; and might do them in the future.

Or that I want to name drop some of the exclusive places I have been with another gentleman. Maybe a place you can not go. Or maybe with someone you know.

OR I join a mate on EVERY outing he goes out on with his peers or perhaps "younger" friends I might find obnoxious. I doesn't mean I might not join him at basecamp for a campfire banquet and a shared sleeping bag or support his having a great time but I won't accept every invitation you might offer as a social courtesy. Maybe the women you date are trying to be equally considerate.

If a guy starts grilling me; especially in a sexist manner, that makes it obvious that he neither believes what I have told him or that a woman might actually be adept at doing such activities; especially at a younger age, I would probably have blow him off. I can't say if that is what happen to you or not.

"I, I, I, me, me, my, I"

That's not poking holes in any theory, that's offering up one exception. I do appreciate your candor in doing so though, it was the best so far. I like that you weren't hateful about it.

On the other hand, do you know how many girls I've dated that when I meet them at the bar they talk nonstop about all the things that they do so frequently and blablabla. Yap your ear off about it for hours and then you come to find out that the thing they talk so much about hasn't even been high on their interest list in years and they have no desire to do anything other than sit at home watching TV?

There is a lot of them and if you've not seen that kind of thing going on that's cool, but I have seen it a lot and met a lot of people. Again, I'm not trying to say that everyone's like this, the ones that are wouldn't post in this thread. At least I wouldn't think, it would actually be really nice to see someone come clean on the matter!!

You keep saying there are exceptions... but many people in this thread have pointed out exceptions. You just have to realize that just because you have met women who are a certain way that not all women are going to be like that.

If all these women say they like doing things, yet stop when you start dating them, is it something you're doing that causes them to stop what they're interested in, maybe?
