What's wrong with that...They want honesty...It's not your fault they don't like the truth:thumbsup:


Or, to put it another way: they want honesty -- until they get it.





Well, I want honesty, regardless of the situation or subject, I absolutely hate lying.

I can't speak for other women but I much prefer a man who says who he is and what he is about. That said He has to be man enough to accept if I don't like his preferences to move on to the ones who do.

Personally I see an affinity for gentleman's club, even the so called classy ones, as a waste of money and asking for trouble. They have high crime statistics and bouncers for a reason. I doubt the service is that good or the place that clean, probably any other entertainment equally sexist. I am sure my gender preference doesn't appreciate the entertainment value of almost naked woman but if I want a man I would hope that my presence in his life "did it" for him in that department. I don't think that is a unique perspective. So in a way you are narrowing the field.
High scools,convince stores and banks also have high crime statistics. We might as well close them down too. be seeing you


Hey I didn't say close them down. I just don't hang out around them. I agree with you crime exists many places. I rarely go in a convience store or bank if I don't have to. LOL been a long time since high school.

I guess what I don't understand is why some women would have a problem with that aspect of my life. Gentlemens clubs are within the law and most are couple-friendly. I hate sports,but I have dated many women sports fans. I think some 'uptight' women feel there is a stigma attached to gentlemens clubs. There is not. be seeing you


It is the idea that "you have to like the same things I like, otherwise you are are a horrible and worthless person."


Lex, I don't think women not wanting to date Prisoner because he goes to strip clubs frequently can be construed as "you have to like the same things I like". It's simply because those women don't care to date someone who does this. They aren't trying to change him, they are turning him down. Big difference.

I believe in being honest. I state in my profile I have bipolar disorder. I want to be up front with women and save time and effort trying to get to know someone and then they disappear when you tell them.

When I do find someone who understands the disorder, and wants to get to know me, then I will be a fortunate man.

So be honest because sooner or later, the truth always finds it way to the top.

A lot of women have told me that they like my profile,except for the fact that I state I like going to gentlemens clubs. Most women in their profiles state they want an honest man. Doesn't the fact that I state I like gentlemens clubs make me honest. Would it be better to delete this aspect of my profile and lie about who I am? My way of thinking,To thy own self,be true. Ladies,you can't have it both ways. If you want me to be honest,you are going to get the whole picture,not a sanitized version for a dating site profile. be seeing you


There's nothing wrong with being honest. However, just because you're being honest, it does not mean all women are going to be completely ok with everything you're honest about.

i agree but neither should women take it upon themselves to email him and tell him what a worthless piece of crap he is, just because it's something that turns them off. people do that to me all the time, and i hate it.

i say kudos to the honesty.

Kudos always to honesty. Although being honest about one thing, does not necessarily mean a person is being so about everything else. I never assume a person is honest, especially when they make the statement 'i am honest'. I will decide that for myself when a person has shown enough honesty, consistently over a period of time.

I honestly think you are being honest. But honestly though can't we just lie for tonight. I like chasing cars.

I don't think people should do that either. If they do not like what he does, they should just move on. Honesty is great, though people can't assume that just because they're honest, everyone will be ok with what they're doing.

Do you think its possible to be too honest? As in, it becomes a negative trait in that person?

This whole conversation aside, so not to make it personal. Say someone said 'My name is fred and i like fat girl porn', is that a good thing that he is being honest? Or is it more twisted that he would say such a thing? Even though there is nothing inherantly wrong with liking fat girl porn.

i say that choosing to not state something personal is not 'lying by omission'.

personally, as soon as any guy talks about sex, or sexual things, in his profile, is when i click 'next'.

to me, that is something for private conversations, at some further point in the developing of the relationship unless, perhaps, they are looking for a deviant of some sort.
