by a man or do we just like the idea?
50 and long time single myself, I can't imagine
giving up my independence.
I really think we just like the idea that someone
would actually be willing to 'save' and take care'
of us, not really ever do it.

I guess i'd like to be, yeah. Or for me to maybe save a guy, you know? :) I won't spend time waiting for a rescue though. . If it happens, great, if not, then oh well at least i tried.

I thought I did, until those same men wanted to control every aspect of my life right down to how I "should" dress. That's when I became independent.
I'm not saying all of them are like that for the men who seem to think saying that would be bashing men. I've just learned to become my own woman, without relying on the opposite sex.

What was wrong about me that needed saving?

I want a partner, not a savior. Balance each other in our weak moments, stand strong together, live, laugh, love type of thing.

I think that theory does not just apply to just women. It's applys to us all. I have been single all my life and I always perfer the idea over the reality.

It would take a very kind hearted Girl to change my mind about that. I am all about heart.

Every girl trys to jump on me and I don't like it. I'm not a horse, just a person like them :)

I do have a best female friend and she keeps me balanced on both sides of the issue.

I guess girls and boys are just people. Great if they get along. Not the end of the world if they don't :)

yep, this! perfectly said!

Really, that's not even smart to do to a strange horse! LOL!

indeed!!!!!

life isn't the disney movie

yup!

Ok girls, you can all relax now. I'm here!

my hero (heavy sigh)

hehehehehe

Yep, it's true.

There's no "hello"

There's no "What's your name"

No "How are you"

No "would you like to go out with me sometime"

No "here's my name and number"

Just...

"I want to have your babies"

"Creepy, pretend kissing - touching - excessive laughing"

"Lot's of rude questions thrown at me"

No respect and no manners. I almost hate girls in general now.

That's what I get for living in a no hope town :(

Many women needs to come out of the woodwork really.

Stop with the " I want a long term COMMITMENT" and "I am looking for my soulmate" or "I need someone who will only pay attention to me 24/7".

These are scary things for many men.

Sure...20-30 years ago, it was all about getting married and sailing to the Bahamas and having 2-3 kids in a big family house with a dog and making sandwiches to guys who were watching baseball on TV.

This isn't the same age.

We are in a f-kd up society, where things don't work the same way, your "hubby" is checking out your best friend's boob shots on facebook when you aren't looking, or having a giant porn collection downloaded on his computer, where he gets his ideas what to try out on you at night.

Not to mention the economy and unemployment and how women are afraid to get a guy, because he may acts like a parasite or vice versa, so let's drop this sugar coated BS about "meaningful" relationships and your "exclusive one-way ticket" guy you are looking for.

I can almost guarantee, that girls who would say "hey I'm a single girl and I'm looking for guy who is gonna stay with me for a while and makes me sweat at night, but also makes me feel good, but otherwise leave me to be" - would get 1000 times more views than some politically correct " I am looking for a bright shinning knight who will save me from the dragons" -kinda garbage, which only scares men more than women claiming to be mystically empowered ghost hunter fairies.

We can save guys? Hey no one told me we could save them for later.
Daamn it! I've just been throwing them away!

I love the way that just because we are of different gender, we are suddenly some kind of alien.

At the end of the day, both Men and Women are the same. Same feelings, same joy and same sorrow :)

^ Lol

Um What????

You can speak for yourself but you certainly are not speaking for me...
