Ok so we all know that not all women are alike and all have their own little quirks and perks. How do you get by the "I have been hurt and scarred" and find a way to move on. Hell I have my own battle scars as prob does most here.. Why else would we be on a dating site. If we had someone we wouldn't be looking for someone lol.. Is this instinct to shut down more common with women or is it the same with both genders. I am really genuinely curious about this as it has really screwed my head up as to how act act with some one who has been hurt.. Not talking about being fake or pretentious or anything but more along the lines as of what to say or not to say.. I am who I am and refuse to change that.. Never was any good at trying to be something I am not .

That is cold. See this is why my ex husband and I are still good friends and he is paranoid of women who want the little empire that I built with him but he trusts me because I did help build it. I would be scared to be a man these days when so many people are so negative. There is something to be said for having masculine energy around. It is different from feminine energy. I am not saying that I can not lift something or work a power tool but that is not the point. There are contributions that come from male thinking that are different from female thinking and equally valuable. Often men have a different perspective on a situation. NOTE: I did not say a better or more rational, etc. I said DIFFERENT. I do value my male friends very much because they will often see a situation differently and present an option, I did not consider previously. I have often been in a situation and did not like my options that seemed obvious as a woman and a male friend would point out there were other options if I detached from the feminine thinking. Often, they are thinking more about me and less about society and looking good and more about my welfare.


i don't understand your point.

Just adding here. I could slap myself when i give the vain types sympathy. They absolutely want women (or the ones silly enough), to be putty in their hands. They moan about life more than "average-looking" men. They create a lair with their "most handsome" profile pic, then it's something along the lines of "Why can't i find a woman who'll settle down with me?", "Why won't she take me seriously?", etc. Maybe if those types portrayed themselves in a better light, they'd earn more respect from me. I'm not gonna come running, thinking "Wow i must have you", just cos their modelesque. There needs to be better connection. Communicate. Always. It should be TALK, not LOOK. The types that do pander to the vain ones, make it look bad for the ones who show intelligence and personality. Yes men are like this too of course.

Think the main thing that MOST women want is for a man to be who he is.


So true Goof!!!

I am a woman (last I checked) and here is what I want from a relationship:

1. Someone to laugh with because most of life is pretty darn funny.
2. Someone to hold me when the not-so-funny parts of life make me cry.
3. Someone I love and who loves me so we can have sex. (I can't do sex without the love)
4. Someone who has similar goals/dreams so that we can grow old together. Obviously, there's going to be compromise, but if we have completely different plans for life in general, one of us will not be happy.
5. Someone who will enjoy our mutual interests but still allow us to have separate interests and who will allow me to pursue them as I would allow him to pursue his.

Regardless if everything else above is there, I will not be in a relationships with the following:

1. Drug or alcohol abuser.
2. The unemployed (unless they have been recently laid off due to the economy).
3. Anyone with a mental illness.
4. Anyone with a felony conviction for anything.
5. Anyone who is abusive whether that be physically or verbally.

I have always heard woman saying how they want a nice guy who will love them the way they are and bla bla bla. I just don't get it. For example a guy cooks, cleans, works, pays bills, washes cloths, takes care of kids, wants to spend all his time with her, even takes care of he kids from other baby daddis, fixes her car, etc etc etc. On top of that he is decent looking, good in bed, and affectionate. What the H more could a woman ask for?


It helps if you can lick your eyebrows!tongue2 oops tongue2

Sounds like the perfect catch... unless... he disallows his other half to have some time away. We all need it, regardless of how good the relationship is. Alone time is not overrated.

Also... I've been with guys that fit most of the above pretty well. What they lacked (and I would have traded a heap of the above for) is a backbone. Don't let my occasional moodiness cause you to be all apologetic if you don't need to be. Stand up for yourself. This is a HUGE asset. At least for me it is... but I tend to be a bit aggressive and can easily intimidate the insecure man.

Bottom line, we don't want a puppy. We want those strong arms around us and the feeling that he'd do anything to protect us and our family. The rest is just icing.

Cause the majority of us do, at least one man. Men are awesome, and I don't care what any woman says there are things they can do that we can't and vise versa. We need each other.


but not all.
what can men do that women can't?
impregnate.
what can women do that men can't?

Like I said we need each other. Even if you don't want a sexual relationship with one try having a baby without one. With that said, I'll go back to the topic at hand.

Why bother...what we want does not matter.


It does matter!!! If it does not matter to a man you are involved with, move on to the next guy that it does matter. Same for any guy out there. If what you want, feel or need does not matter to the woman you are with, Move on and let her go.

I guess that is why I am so passive about looking. I already have the big azz walk in closet.

Closet?? For what? My 8 pairs of shoes? Sheesh that will hang behind any door. Now if you are talking space, it would be nice to have a sewing/painting/stained glass making studio!!!!bigsmile But it is not a requirement for dating.
