Great replies from all of you. It has shown a vast spectrum of variation from what each and everyone wants.
And in my humble opinion. You will never please everyone you meet.
And to judge people by your own standards is unfair Pasificstar48.

If you are happy to date so many people and travel or stay in your own area thats fine but to say the issues are within is very unfair as you also dont know who I am to judge me like that.

Each to their own.

As for what I have read though... honesty has come up a lot.
And in my experiences I have always been honest and open but the last 2 relationships I have been in they have decided to not want what they wanted in the first place.

My last relationship lasted 14 years and before that my previous partner I was with for 6 years.
So forgive me if I am asking obvious questions but I have never felt like I am out adrift in an ocean before.

Sorry pacificstar48.
I have no idea what your on about?
No one has asked you to travel around the world have they?
By the sounds of it you sound like your going through your men like Cadburys chocolate fingers during a movie.

Most women have certain requirements that they want in a man.
If they fund someone that needs tweaking do they try to change them?
It's happened to me so I can speak from 1st hand experience on this. Many years later when I have not metamorphosed into what was required, im no good.

That I CAN do if only they would be honest.
I can see myself now bursting through the bedroom door all muddy and stinking of B O with the smell of lamb I just ripped apart with my bare teeth. Then just taking whats mine. 2 mins later asking my wenche to get me a broth to drink.

Ha ha... at least your honest. Most women would opt for a rampant rabbit to a dick... but well put. :-)
Have a look at most of the women on this site. They all hate players and want what I described earlier. They are all really happy and love going out meeting new people.
Which poses the question. . If your that happy then what you doing on here?
But seriously. . Do most women want a guy to be extra sensitive and read 50 shades of grey with you or can he just be himself.

You all want a nice charming sensitive considerate and doting man, but when you get that you want a man with Balls...
Help im confused. .

"Get rid of my main picture" !!
Bloody cheek! LoL
Let me have a look and see what I have...
Bit hard to show a smile while diving though? Ha ha

Good morning all.
Ok I have tweaked my profile a little and I think it looks better.
What do you think?

wow, ladies... im touched that you have taken the time to do this.
Some very valid points raised and when i have some time i will adjust my profile.

I know you say people shouldnt put anything negative on however when some people have had that "issues" for a while they are just saying (to me anyway) that they have had enough and they do not want that in the future, which i think is understandable.

I can't believe how this is turning into a CV ! :-)
I dont find it comfortable selling myself, makes me feel big headed and cheap.

opinons anyone?

Thank you paintecard01, i really appreciate your feedback and i scanned a few other profiles before doing mine and thought that was a normal thing to say you laugh and cry etc lol

I will revise my profile a little later when i get more time and i will also put more things in my profile about what i do and want in a relationship.

I also have emailed some women i when i have liked their profile and still no response but thats how it goes i suppose.

its early days for me really and the dating scene is a bit past what i am used to. some women are really forward and some shy under a profile.

as for joining forums more, i have also done that too, this being my second but i have also commented on others, in a positive way of course...

thank you again for your time.

Hello all, i have recently joined up and was hoping to increase my awareness on this site. I get a few people viewing me but find i dont get any messages and the ones i do get just say "Hi" and that's it?
Strange.
Anyway, have a look and let me know what you think.
Please be gentle as character assassination is not a good thing for anyone lol :-)

Are you aware that EmmieK's account has been deactivated?

What a waste of my time... oh well..

You have had a lot of good positive replies to your question and in my humble opinion, yes mention it. Simple.
You want someone that wants all of you so do not hide anything.
One thing I would say is dont introduce anyone you meet to your child until you are happy to move the relationship to the next level. It's confusing to the child.
No offence was intended in my message in case anyone took offence.

Hi Sparkyae5.
Thanks for your reply.
When you say "they" I take it you mean women?
I understand what your saying but life teaches us to compromise whether at work or socially so why not in a relationship.
I know everyone is different and men can be like this too.
If people are honest in the beginning it may prevent a lot of heartache.

sorry if i came across a bit serious, im not always like this, i am more often an upbeat person and likes to see the funny side and can be very witty.

However,,, there are days i do ask "what's the meaning of life" and try to re-assess where i am in the grand scheme of things

Hello, i am finding myself in a place where i am now asking where do i go from here.
Why are relationships so complicated and that without honesty it is doomed from the start. I dont mean cheating or such likes, i mean just the normal day to day things that bother people and dont get dealt with. Which in turn over time becomes an obstacle that can not be overcome.. WHY!

Anyway.... i am hoping to meet someone who can fill an emptiness in my life. Nothing serious for now but i am open to let things progress if we connect. Chemistry is very important too.
