Topic: What do men really want? | |
---|---|
I have a good question I am sure many have asked. What do men on here
or any other site really want?...It is sad when you read a profile and do not know rather to belive them or not due to so many who do not know how to be honest about things. When a girl puts on her profile she is looking for fun they blow up her emails LOL...Then you read their profiles and they say they are looking for a good women and want long term on some...Others are open and straight hey I am looking for fun nothing else but most say one thing and respond to another. So many say they have been hurt and decieved and scared etc etc ..HAVEN"T WE ALL??????? Yet put up a profile stating you are a good honest simple girl just looking for someone for friendship to start ( the needed foundation for any kind of relationship) and they act like you have a disease lmao and no emails in the box...survey says!!!!!!!!!!! men want laid LOL but will say anything to get it most of the time......NOW HOLD UP GUYS!!!! HERE IS YOUR FLIP SIDE! I have heard of stories from men where women are just as bad...do i believe it UMMMM YES I DO!....bottom line we could all make life much easier on everyone and enjoyable if HONESTY WAS WHAT WE ALL GET TO READ THEN WE COULD SIFT THROUGH THE PROFILES AND MAKE GOOD CHOICES AND LESS MISTAKES....just my 2 cents free of charge feed back anyone? |

All I can do is speak for myself. I mean every word in my Profile.. I do NOT play game nor want only sex. I want someone to share my life and I hers. |

Quite honestly... I would want a sweet person with a heart of gold. That
goes farther than anything else. A good woman brings out the good in a man. A man and a woman are supposed to be as one. If one wheel falls off, then the thing wont move. It goes both ways though... guys need to be polite gentle and respectful. Does that make any sense? |

I understand what you're saying, but I just don't think you can ever
come up with a blanket answer to what men really want. Different men want different things, different kinds of relationships, just as I'm sure is true for women. And sure, there are going to be guys (and girls too) who put deceptive things into their profiles in order to make themselves appear more desirable, or "better" than they really are. It works that way in real life too, but it's just a little easier to be deceptive on a website than in person. I don't put any credence at all in a profile, most of the time -- they tend to be so bland and pointless that I might as well be reading the back of a cereal box. On a site like this, I am going to assess you based pretty much entirely on what you say on the forums. People who never post, well, I see them as blank slates. Maybe good, maybe bad, but without indicators, I am not wasting my time on that. You make a good point about how much easier it would be if everyone was honest in their profiles, but that's simply not going to happen until there's a website that has a full-time Profile Investigation Team that goes out and verifies everyone's claims and circumstances. I don't think that will ever happen, simply because of the associated costs -- members would probably end up paying $1000 a month (imagine how annoyed THOSE people would be when they still don't meet anyone!) and all the people who had something/anything to hide would leave immediately, resulting in a member pool of a few dozen, maybe. Probably not the best business plan. Remember, the key to any dating site, even the free ones, is to attract as many members as possible. If you drive them away, potential advertisers have less incentive to advertise on that site (based on reaching fewer prospective customers) -- so it's really in the best interests of any site NOT to be too picky about who signs up; i.e., not to be particularly scrutinizing about the validity of the stories of people who sign up. So, I wouldn't expect the sites themselves to do any extensive filtering for you. That means you're still left with your own best judgments, and that also means there are going to be unscrupulous types who will play their little deceptive games. So, I think the real question is not so much "what do men want," but what do YOU want from a site like this? And once you know that, the next step is to try to figure out how to get it without getting burned. We're back to red flags and inconsistencies again, you've heard all this before, I'm sure. But there's no perfect formula, there's no perfect system. You take your chances. It's the nature of the beast. Learning how these sites work, experience, observation, discernment, all of these things can help you avoid the bad guys. But there are no guarantees.... |

The answer here is sort of complex. I think most people's bottom line is
that they would like to meet someone to develop a serious relationship, myself included. Sometimes when we state that in our profile, we run the risk of missing out on the more casual daters ~ which is how it should start, anyway. The best way to develop a relationship is to have some casual dates and see how your personalities match ~ give it time to get to know someone's moods, likes and dislikes, dating style. Too often these dates boil down to how attracted you are (physically) the first time you meet, and it doesn't give either person a fair chance of taking it to the next level as you would were you to meet someone "in real life." Ideally, you might meet someone at work, at church, at a theatre project, the gym, through friends, and, because it's not automatically a dating situation, it can take several meetings for you to discover that you like they way they look more and more all the time, their sense of humor, how they carry themselves, etc. ~ and then you realize you are interested in a possible relationship with them. On a dating site, everyone is looking for instant chemistry (translate: instant sexual desire) and that rarely happens. So some of us may say we want a serious relationship but still respond to someone who is looking for casual dating, because after all, that is how it should begin anyway. And maybe we respond to someone who seems a bit promiscuous because, hey! at least we know the person isn't a prude and may not judge us so quickly because she wants to have some fun. I have tried these sites off and on for years ~ and none of the major relationships I've had were through any of them. But it's hard to meet people, so we keep trying, right? |

Wow Country, you don't want much here,,do ya,lol,lol
Men as women,,on here. Are mixed up all the time for some,,because they flip flop around in their LOOKING catagorylike, for the moment(FOUND SOMEONE) or they are depressed and NOW, venting,lol Or someone hurt them and NOW they have changed everything they WERE looking for,,lol But "TRUTH" is GREAT and the only thing we all really want to find,, But "TRUTH" is the hardest comodity to find here!!! Well, HELL,,,EVERYWHERE!! I live for TRUTH and have found many people NOT really WANTING to share their REAL TRUTHS!! So if you find REAL TRUTH, PLEASE let me know the recipe!! LOL Most folks here, will make their profile as to what they really feel at THAT time and trully do wish to find THAT in a relationship, but someones face or their profile might make THEM reply to them for the SAME reasons their looking for , but it doesn't mean their not truthful, just LOOKING DEEPER into another for maybe the SAME thoughts behind their actions.. Both sex's are hard to figure out what the OTHER is WANTING to find or except, and IT ALWAYS WILL BE HARD to understand! Good luck in YOUR serch for YOUR friend,lover, date, husband, person, mate, life partner, better half, company,,,ect,,,lol Life is short,,,LIVE, LAUGH, and LOVE!!! Always!!! |
