Dating doesn't bore me. It's the whole over the top oozingly sweet romantics that do because they want the Hollywood romance.

To me, my type of romance is just being near the one I love and talking and sharing dinner with our family. That to me is romantic as hell.

I don't do picnics for a date, or any of that Hallmark Card crap.

I went on a picnic for Mother's Day with a friend and everyone said how romantic and asked if we were dating. I'm effin' married! Picnics are for enjoying a nice day with sun and not sitting in a restaurant or at home for lunch. Getting some fresh air... Not for romance...

Women that I meet don't expect guys to know how to be romantic. They are suprized when I call to let her know I'm thinking about her, have bought her flowers, invite her on a real date and not just fast food and tv at home, etc. Then I get called weird and obsessive, dumped, cheated on, neglected, etc when I do all of the things that women say they want in a man. So I'm not sure how I will be with my next relationship but don't think I will run through fire again to show her how great I can be, since that never gets me anywhere.

Don't forget, no showers or changing your clothes for at least five days....

and men have a hard time dealing with outspoken intelligent women who expect to be treated well

Go out-Date-stay at home or.............

If you're constantly getting the same results, change what you're doing. Look at the type of women you're going for and see if that's part of the problem, rather than blaming the problem on women in general.

i get guys from other dating sites that ask if i live alone.. even if i didnt. they shouldnt be asking for thats really non of there business
we (woman) should ask the guys that sae freaken question

(hey bud do you live alone)

Biggest problem I get is, whenever I am single none of the people I like are interested in me. The minute I start dating someone, bam!, they are suddenly deeply in love with me.

We all get em at one point or another.....

Someone gets the hots for you and loses perspective of the difference between flirting or casual conversation and decides.....THEY WANT YOU. (I am refering to those who pitch woo on the internet)

How do YOU deal with it? Cause there is no way in Hell it is ever gonna work and not everyone is bright enough to take a hint.

Generally, I am polite and stick and move until some other poor sucker wanders into the crosshairs and catches the unwanted wooing. It may not be as bluntly up front as "You ain't my type"...but it is an effective tactic and mostly enables you to salvage some good friendships.

I guess the thing is...I have a hard time popping someones heart shaped balloon...anyone else got a problem with handling the ones coming at you like a love struck puppy?

What did you learn from your first love?

Perhaps it's the type of women you're going for, rather than being 99% of women as you claim.

Is it really that none of them know what they want?

This is probably true, but when a man does find a woman who KNOWS what she is looking for, she is really criticized. She is called names like:

Gold digger, stuck up, and other choice names.

Imagine if a woman told you: "I know what I am looking for, and it isn't you."

So you ask why and she says:

You don't have a good job, not enough money, not good looking enough, not good in bed, not a big enough penis, wrong religion, wrong values, etc etc.

This seems to be the standard response from men who aren't getting what they want. Yes, there are definitely women out there (and men, too) who know what they're looking for and what they want. Generalizations don't work well, no matter how much you think they do.
