I appreciate you accepting me at my word. I am honest and sincere whether people believe that or not. I believe most of us would prefer not to have had multiple bad relationships and if you prefer younger women for that reason, again it's your choice. Which is why I didn't comment on your statement, it's yours afterall.:wink:

Now shall I tell you all the things I love about men to prove my sincerity?devil


I think that would deserve a thread topic of it's own. Everyone could post what they love about the opposite gender. I think we'd all learn a great deal from it.

it's not hard to get along with most women Scoundrel, as you can to a point, but after observing most of your threads, as you are quite smart, and quite the ladies man, you have rules, and when they don't comply with your rules, you have issues. the younger girls like rules and smarts, and....they like bad-boys, and as you have SOME compassion, you put the brakes on at a certain point, and the younger ones don't see it while the older ones recognize that pattern. you play the game like a fine toothed comb, and all can learn some things in dating from you to keep things interesting, but the line is crossed on control issues with you sometimes where it just becomes.....a game.

also, there are younger and badder *****, that have learned these ropes, and they will give you competition.....and they mess up women real bad these days.

being one's best friend with no guidelines and rules set apon them might do you really well, and not anylizing so heavily will make you see more than you ever thought....and! nobody likes to be anylized or categorized when dating, as you are a worldly human being, and smart too, as well as some shiftiness and grey areas to say the least, but you are never too old to learn. think about what everyone is saying in this thread, and come up with your own conclusion, looking from outside in....if you can......i think you can.

i hope you find that happiness you seek man.drinker

How do you know what they're talking about? Do you ask? Get into the conversations? EVERY TIME?????? I didn't realize ALL WOMEN were in Texas in your town.. I guess I'm a bot...


I didn't say all women as in every woman. I said "all women talk about..." Meaning man bashing is a topic women often discuss.

Gotcha another part of English... LOL.. But that isn't ALL they talk about.. I'm sure they talk about work, kids, makeup, new restaurants, the size or lack thereof men's penises.... There are loads of things to talk about that have nothing to do with guys being jerks...

You didn't answer the first part of my questions... I asked "How do you know what they're talking about? Do you ask? Get into the conversations? EVERY TIME??????"

I see.. Well that's unfortunate that those women have nothing better to talk about... Or perhaps you catch them at that part of their conversations... I have never had a discussion with any of my girlfriends about how bad men are... We're all intelligent enough and self-aware enough to know that not all men are bad and that perhaps we're picking them that way and made our own misery if that's what we had...

no BS from 20 yr olds......lmao......Only thing I have to say to this is have you ever heard the saying "Young and Dumb"....

no insults to you young sweet girls....:wink:flowers


I can handle immaturity. That's far different than nagging and complaining.


I'm not one that nags and I'm not 20 yrs. old. I will complain if someone treats me badly though.

TS it's unfortunate that you've learned nothing from Mingle... there are so many people that have knowledge, experiences to learn from.. So many that aren't negative or gender bashers... You'd think you'd notice that and formulate your opinion about women based on multiple venues...

I know women on there from Texas and I've never ever seen them man bash.... Maybe you need to hang out in different places... Maybe "where" you go is the problem...

I've seen you say this a dozen times or so. But when you proclaim (via your thread title), you've obviously made the assumption that it is all. So fool yourself if you like, you're not fooling the rest of the people here.

Me too. My friends and I don't bash men when we talk. We have better things to talk about than that.

You have taken me out of context.

I do often speak in generalities. That is because what I am saying is generally true. Yes, there are exceptions. But, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

If I said men stand while peeing no one would disagree even though there are a few men that sit.

I agree with these:

Lex

I do find it disturbingly Pavlovian -- someone says "I'm not interested in _____________________" and people who fall into whatever the _____________________ category is, immediately decide to be offended as if the general remark referred specifically to them. Then they jump all over the OP as if he had killed an adorable little puppy.

Not everybody is going to be interested in you, whoever or whatever you are. That's reality. Deal with it.

I love how when an older lady likes young men she is considered a 'cougar' but when a man likes a younger women....he belongs in prison? double-standard completely.

We have a whole entire topic dedicated to older women for younger men....no one is giving them grief.

I do understand what the OP is saying. Someone who is 35+ is looking to settle down right away...not all...but most. while the younger ladies don't mind 'living' first. Yes I know I'm not an 'older' man but when I am 40+ my taste may change....and they may not. I do not know. But I do understand what the OP is saying.

Learn here? ROFL I've often tried to gain insights here, but it always fails. The vast majority of posters take things too personally to to be able to actually understand the heart of any questions I may ask. They'd rather tell me how screwed up I am than address my questions. Or they make some stupid joke about it.

It's like asking a believer if they really believe in the talking snake and the virgin birth. They know how foolish it sounds to say they believe it so asking about it is rude.
