Well I am. How incredibly self-infatuated! Personally, I find no reason to disagree with my wife on this issue. She claims the problem with professional women finding mates is they won't get off their fat a$$s and look somewhere different than the places their lives normally take them...even when those places are obviously non-productive. (It's not all about you ladies) They much prefer to complain about their circumstances than change them.
Want a handi-man? Go to the free classes at home depot.
Want a moral man? Go to church.
Want a jock? Go to sporting events.
Want a businessman? Go play golf.
Want a lush and a satyr? Go to a nightclub.
That sounds great. I'd love to just end up in a bear hug after my guy tells me how to fix my problems at work or whatever. I don't want "communication" from a boyfriend.
Yeah, you can tell I'm annoyed I'm still single, but some women need to buy a clue about who to date. A degree means nothing. My mom has a Master's degree in English while my dad went to technical school to learn about air conditioners, yet they've been married for 25 years. And they're happy :)
You are already far beyond your contemporaries.
So, having gotten that far, I'm not bisexual, I don't like to wear women's clothing, and I'm not kinky. I can string together more than a few intelligable sentences. What do you consider drinking "a lot"? A drink once in awhile after work, or on a Friday or Saturday night? Having gotten this far, is smoking a joint after work or on the weekends an immediate no-no?
why, then, am I single. Why, then, can't I meet any desireable women?
and please, if you say it's because (judging from the pics on my profile page) that my room is too messy, that's not my room!!!!
Hey now. Don't get me started on men and why they make the choices they do.
Maybe you can explain why so many intelligent men with very decent jobs decide to marry high-maintenance girls whose only outstanding qualities are bad tempers and controlling personalities.
This came up in a discussion about a male friend's disastrous marriage (I was the one who advised him beforehand to run like hell from this particular girl). The men in the group were of the opinion that "she was probably good in bed" and that was the depth of their analysis. I said "No one is THAT good in bed", and they all got a good chuckle out of that, but it's true. There's more to a marriage than sex, and moments of bliss don't necessarily balance out years of hell.
It's actually this b***h attitude towards men that turns men off!
Are you pro-gays????? Because it sounds like you are. You really don't know what you're talking about. Of course the pool of available men is lessened by homosexuality.
Of course, the same could be said for the lesbians and bi-sexuals. Today, we have an interesting situation. There are many bi-sexuals because they can't make up their minds which way they want to swing. So, they just go both ways. It is called being comfortable with your sexuality.
I didn't know homosexuals where men! I thought they where just perverts. What kind of womam need these kind of men.
There are a lot of very successful guys who don't want a marriage per se, they just want an arm ornament and a sex-bot. There are a lot of women willing to provide that in spades. The problem is that most guys think they can control/ignore these women, but in practice the guys find out they've bought a handful after they are married.
The REASON why intelligent and successful men have relationships with these bimbos is a bit uglier in truth. Men want a relationship with a woman they can consider their peer, and they also want sex. For very intelligent and successful men, finding a proper peer in the female population is very difficult as the population of women does not have its qualities distributed in the same way or shape as the qualities of men. Lacking a suitable female, they opt to purchase a bimbo; at least with a bimbo you have a known quantity as it were. I know a lot of very nice and intelligent guys that took this route. Lacking the ability to find a proper mate, they flexed their considerable market power and acquired a convenient mate instead. They don't tell this to their wives, but they talk about it among themselves. Men have their own motives and priorities, just like women do.
One thing you see a lot in relationships among intelligent and financially well-off men these days is the marriage to quiet girls utterly beneath their station (e.g. un-americanized asian girls as a popular choice) as a third option. Lacking a proper mate, they would perfer to have a mate that won't interfere with what they do as a second option, rather than buying a corrosive-but-beautiful woman. This isn't as great an option as finding a perfect mate, but it is a hell of a lot easier on the mind and soul than having to put up with a spoiled bimbo with a personality disorder. In some circles (e.g. the financial world) having bad-tempered eye candy is still the defacto standard, but in other circles (e.g. high tech) this has fallen out of favor for being married to "well tempered but ordinary looking" girls. What this really shows, though, is a difference in values between the world of wealthy bankers and the world of wealthy geeks.
this stinks!
No, it is called being comfortable with perversion as all bi-sexuals participate in the sexual perversion known as homosexuality.
Don, are you gay or bisexual? This sounds like a very gay thing to say. I don't know of any heterosexuals that would say such a thing, especially a conservative one.
But homosexual men are not in the "pool of men available to women", are they? They're in a different pool, where marriage-minded women usually won't go swimming. So the gay percentage in a city doesn't affect the search for a mate. It's almost irrelevent from that standpoint, unless you've somehow landed in a really gay enclave like Provincetown or something, and are wondering why there don't seem to be any straight men or women around at all...
