The fact of the matter, people will go through many relationships throughout their lives. The chances of being with one person--satisfactorily--for any substantial length of time (+15 years) are slim. Belief in the myth of "one true love" only sets the individual up for disappointment and unrealistic expectations.

Honestly, I'd much rather go out. Too many years spent staying at home... (besides, I'm not much of a cuddler).

...We men are primarily attracted to good looks so we THINK that attractiveness is mainly based on looks to the opposite gender BUT ITS NOT. ... Hate to burst your bubble, but women are most definitely initially attracted to good looks. Where this idiotic notion--that women don't care about a man's looks--came from, I don't know (though I do have some ideas on the subject...). |

Why do folks continue to create these type threads ("am I attractive," "am I good-looking")? There will never be honest answers---everyone will regurgitate the same old tired responses: "yes, you're attractive," "it's personality that matters," etc, Ad nauseam...

Maybe I'm completely out of the ol' loop, but why would 18-25 year-olds even need or want to do the "online dating/personals" thing? Why aren't these kids out doing things, meeting people, having a genuine youth?

you really should not have: 1) gotten jealous but sometimes a girl likes to know that her man cares enough about her to get at least a little jealous, you know? Perhaps a "girl" but most grown WOMEN don't want or need the jealousy crap. |

i think its funny that everyone is wondering why she is having dinner with an ex... they may not work out as lovers, but i am friends with some of my ex's and i would never want a "new guy" in my life that couldnt respect that... dont trust me???? leave.... i aint cryin about it.... I think being a friend with an EX is fine, but when it comes to putting an EX before your lover's feelings...something is not right with that situation. What I know about myself...there is NO EX that I would want to be with, friend wise or otherwise that would make my man feel second best,nor would I want to breed any type of insecurity with my feelings for him. NEVER! It is mostly about respect and "true" love. You spend a lifetime seeking a mate..when you find him or her...you treat them with love and respect. There is a BIG REASON why my EX'S are EX'S. (I never forget that!) As for EX's that are friends..I would RATHER be with my man! Lovers come and go but true friendship lasts a lifetime. My last "ex" is my best friend and I would put him before any man I date. |

I say forget it, if she's having dinner with her ex she is obviously still interested in him and or hasnt forgot about him. Bad for your heart! Bullcrap! People do have the ability to separate romantic relationships from friendships. Having an ex as a friend---and spending time with him as such---does not mean one is still carrying the ol' torch for him. |

Question: why are you (ChiefPUA) proud of being, as you say, a "pick-up artist"?
Even when I was a kid, I wouldn't have given someone with your philosophy on women and relationships a second look. Talk to us when you are 35 and have grown up. |

In fact, I was recently involved with a man to whom I am very attracted yet found the sex less-than-satisfactory (and it was not a case of mis-communication as I am very upfront and non-embarrassed regarding all aspects of sexuality).
Forgive me if I may be so bold, but are you sure that your partner was willing to invest all of the effort necessary to please you? You may have been communicating clearly but that does not mean that he was eagerly putting into practice what you were saying. I'm not claiming to be a prodigy, by any means, but it is my nature to be focused, adaptable, and enthusiastic. Of course he was willing and furthermore, did "invest all of the effort necessary to please" me. He was/is a fabulous lover---just not for me. The compatibility was/is not there. |

...For the most part men are visual and an attractive women is a hard to resist. ...
Although society does not want to recognize this, women are ALSO visual (for the most part, as much as men) and nothing beats a gorgeous man. I'll admit, I am very concerned with a man's looks. Sorry---it's just how it is. That said, what I find irresistible in a man (masculine-beautiful, thin, short, nice chest, muscle-ly but not "big," punk, etc...) is not always what other women find irresistible. |

...it is my belief that if there is attraction, then sexual compatibility is just a matter of being willing to invest the effort to please one's partner. ... Sexual compatibility is not always so simple. I have been in a few relationships (including a 15-year marriage) wherein my partner and I were not sexually compatible. In fact, I was recently involved with a man to whom I am very attracted yet found the sex less-than-satisfactory (and it was not a case of mis-communication as I am very upfront and non-embarrassed regarding all aspects of sexuality). In my opinion, it is far better, as well as cheaper, to discover if you and your partner are sexually compatible BEFORE getting married. |

Personally, I would never get involved with a man who wanted to wait until marriage. Perhaps it's my age... Ah, but at least according to your profile, you classify yourself as "non-religious." I know at least one atheist who chose to wait until marriage before having sex, but it's a decision that is much more frequently made for religious reasons. Yes, religion plays a role. However, being older and having been married, I refuse to have a relationship without sex. The older I get, the more I appreciate sex. |

Advice: men come and go but you will have to live with YOU the rest of your life. Go out and live for a few years. Get an education. Travel.

...Perhaps it's a fear of commitment. Can't committ to something if you sabotage it or if it's bound to get sabotaged early on. ...
"Fear of commitment"? This is a very young woman--really no more than a girl. If I were to give any advice it would be to quit messing around with men/boys for awhile and focus on growing up and becoming your own person. Maybe go to college. |

This type of "boycott" does nothing. The logic behind the boycott is flawed at best.
Some things to consider: ~the price for gasoline in the USA is pretty darn cheap compared to other countries (take a look at prices in Europe: =/-$7.00 per gallon). ~the only way to make any difference is to reduce your consumption EVERY day. |

The problem is, we aren't afraid.... and it's too bad. As long as the majority is sated, or at least mollified, we're all screwed. I hate to bring this up because it seems trite, but the novel "1994" pretty much foresaw this. |
