I gave up a long time ago, and resigned myself to being single for the rest of my life. Women these days just don't seem to want chubby, homely, and short unless the guy is rich as well, and I am definitely not that! Chubby, I could fix, if I cared. Homely, well, can't do much about that, can't afford plastic surgery or an extreme (really extreme!) makeover. Short, well, stuck there, too. Tall women don't want a short guy 'cause they don't look right together, and short women don't want a short guy 'cause they don't want their kids to be freaks. I've gotten so used to being single by now that I couldn't imagine life any other way. We can adapt to almost anything, I guess. -TD

I see women complaining about not being able to find guys, and yet someone who is not quite 100% "hunk" is overlooked by them. Then again the women I know who would be in the "BBW" category get upset over guys overlooking them because they don't have this perfect hourglass shape.

In my case my present ladyfriend is in a wheelchair. She used to date "bad boys" when she was younger but found most of them were looking for one thing and when she didn't .. ummm how can I say this ... "offer up", these guys dumped her and went elsewhere. I just got out of one marriage I'm definitely not looking to nosedive into another. If I ever do find "the one" or if it turns out she could end up being "the one" we will definitely have some time of "living together". First mention of "what would my mother think?" and I'm outta there!

"honey you left the toilit seat up again" I never did understand that one.

To me, It's honey you left the toilet seat [/B]down[B] again. And if she doesn't like that deal then both lids will be down at all times unless thee throne is in use. Nuff said.

My truck & my garage, I don't want to be bothered with anybody or anything else. I do what I want when I want & answer to no one. I also hate holidays.

What does a man get out of marriage? Signs away 50% of everything he's worked for!

If a women isn't prepared to sign a pre-nup, that protects your ***(etts) - run.

Don't even consider marriage unless she brings a 50/50 prospect to the table. In other words, if she donesn't have gainful employment and a stock portfilio at least as valuable as yours, again - run.

Having the love of a woman is a special thing for a man, but a man doesn't need to be paying support payment forever because she was really after a meal ticket. The way I see it, is the pre-nup and the meal ticket are mutually exclusive...

This world is messed up.

If I ever get out of this marriage in one piece... never, never, never again. Why would I ?

Wow.

For the guys who are still looking... trust me, there are girls out there who mature faster than the rest and realize the bad boys do us no good (25, found my 'good guy' and I'm in heaven)...

For those with bad experiences... I'm really sorry for all of you... yes, PEOPLE (not just women) can do some pretty crazy things... for the guy who's gal left him for the abuser... don't let it mess with your head... she was probably abused in her past and that's what she understands as love... the others things she couldn't appreciate because they weren't real to her... anger and meanness is real to her... that takes a lot of commitment on her part and a lot of time to get over and work through... neither of which she sounds like she'll be doing in the near future. =)

Chins up guys... we aren't all awful.

The same night i was visiting a friend in the hospital with a broken back, she was stabbing me in mine. They have been together for right about a year now, he was verbally and physically beating her and her belongings, was arrested in another state on a trip for hitting her and still together. I treated her like a woman deserves to be treated, rose pedals on her bed, massages at night, he hits her.. I don't understand the female species at all... It really has messed with my head..

I will not settle for just anyone, there has got to be someone who wants a real relationship.. isn't there? I am not sure anymore...
This isn't a female problem... this is a female with pshycological problems.

Unfortunately, women who grew up being abused often find abusive men. It's wierd but even though it is painful, they get used to it and anything different... like you being nice to them... is foreign and uncomfortable to them. They don't last in unabusive relationships. They usually need counseling but rarely seek it. Usually because they are with abusive men whom refuse to let them get help. It's a twisted cycle, but has nothing to do with you. There is tons of research in this area and it's proven. Don't let it bog you down... move on and find a healthy woman.

edit: 31, getting married in 4 months. We've been together over 2 1/2 years now. We've lived together for 2 years. Completely happy when we aren't fighting. Fighting afterall, is completely normal and can actually be healthy in a relationship. We laugh at each other a lot... A LOT! We get mad at each other sometimes. We support each other in everything. We think of each other all the time. She doesn't think I clean enough + I think she's too **** about cleaning = Our house always looks great! Sounds like a dream huh?

I had plenty of fun and had plenty of girls when I was single, but it all started getting old after a while when I came home to an empty house with no one to share my life with. I met Lisa a week after I got back from my second Spring Break trip to Cancun. I have lost nothing and gained everything from giving up my single life. Making love is a whole lot better than just having sex. I feel like I have everything to live for. There is more than one person out there for everyone. If it didn't work the first time... keep trying.

Life is pretty simple. It's what you make it. If you go by the majority of what is written on this page then you will lead a lonely, shorter life. Married people live longer! There is a reason for that. Marriage is a compromise, if you can't accept that then your doomed to fail at it. If she can't compromise then time to move on. It is better to have loved and lost then never loved at all, unless of course your just plain anti-social. In which case you need professional help.

I almost got married when I was young (21) but I think it turned out better that it didn't happen. The more female friends I make the more I realize the truth behind the fact that most women that I know want a man that is a little on the wildside. Even the women that say they want nice guys wind up with what seem to be a-holes. I am a nice guy and would not change that just to get some girls attention.

I would not mind getting married someday and I actually hope to one day but I have not found a woman yet that fits my criteria. And no - looks don't matter to me. It is more of a personallity thing. Oh, and she would also love to hunt! That would just be icing on the cake.

But needless to say it either happens or it doesn't. I don't have time to worry about it, I stay busy and life is short.

Well, I'm 26 and until this past summer, never really had a girlfriend. Till then I was "seeing" girls. Basically, breakin' my butt while they played along like they were interested. Once they got what they wanted, I got tossed aside like yesterday's news. Happened more times then I care to remember. Heck, I even got used for my truck once! I met a wonderful woman over the summer. Just full of life, a great personality, very active, tall, tan, and extremely beautiful!. You'd swear she might be 16, rather then the 31 years she was. She's the type that's way, way too easy to fall in love with. Unfortunatly, she is at a point in her career where she will be teaching outside the United States for the next 3-5 years. So we agreed to do the "friends" thing for now. It's been hard, but she has made such a positive impact on my life, I can't imagine it w/o her. I am back in school now. I've met quite a few attractive single ladies around campus. Problem being they are all 19-20 year olds. I've been afraid that perhaps they are too young. After reading rick90yj's and albertafarmer's posts, maybe they aren't too young. Even though I'm a nice guy, I think they see my black Mustang GT, motorcycle jacket and boots, big pick-up, and handlebar mustache, and think I'm the "dangerous" type. Anyway, I'm sure the right one is out there somewhere. My grandparents have been together for 55 years. My parents, for 27 years. They found their's, and I'll find mine. I don't know why, but I'll keep trying. I'll eventually get it right.

Chris
