Women don't make men crazy. They just want men to live their lives through them. It is amazing how they try to change our friends and thoughts and lives.

Not all Mike.... just because you have chosen the ones that do that....don't lump the masses.... and when people don't learn from their mistakes....it is those who repeat cycles.

Gluttons for punishment men are

Men dont just have relationships with woman, Men also get a whole bunch of new friends, relatives, and get laid once in a while to keep us happy

What's wrong with Men? Nothing, the problem is with boys.

In my opinion the probably is there are too many Boys claiming to be men now days(Actual age is not involved in this analogy). This is the mistake too many women make, they look for a guy, thinking they are a Man, when instead they are little boys, selfish, short-sighted, irresponsible, immature, greedy little boys who care too much about themselves than the feelings of others.

...This of course leads to the question, "how can I tell if he's a Real Man, or just a boy pretending to be a Man?" I'm afraid I don't know how to answer that one other than continue to look around and don't give up. Take your time getting to know the guy and if he really is a man, he'll be patient enough with you to get comfortable enough with him... maybe I don't know... nevermind.

Well said & I agree completely....

oHHHH Mike your just not right my friend lol

Men want perfect looking, size 0 (which is the size of a crackhead) bimbos. Since many good women don't fit that profile, they are passed over. And dating sites just make a woman want to retire from dating, they are so bad.

they probaly wanted sex

I don't agree with that arm candy mentality RomanticSoul.

I know your unhappy with the lack of results, but don't give up. Online dating is hard. We put our hearts and souls out there open & exposed and then in the same breath our high expectations that we put upon ourselves opens the door to disaster.

People are so quick to jump from one relationship to another, they don't have time to heal from one, thus no understanding of why it did not work out. And some people are not comfortable in their own shoes and being alone and I see that as sad. Sad that you have no true understanding of who you are, what you stand for, your goals and many simply don't love themselves. That can stem from many issues....

Negative thinking and pessimism occurs so much in here and many don't read the words they write and self esteem is a huge determining factor of daily events including online dating and forums. Nothing's worse than a person lost in the realm of self pity and you can close your eyes on the boards and pick one and sure enough, a woe is me thread.

Negative affirmations pretty much seals the deal until you see that there may be ways for improvement. There are ways to build your self confidence and make you feel good.... Think of three things you enjoy doing and do those three things today. Simple things like listening to your band music, read that book you have put off, a memory of a favorite vacation, thinking about your best christmas present and focus, take the time to relish and enjoy these things.

We are our own worst critics, so when we post something in a public forum and hell's doors open and we get overwhelmed with more crap well...challenge your own assumptions. Not everyone is 100% confident 24/7 ((you'll see a few cocky ones respond to this, just wait lol)). A little secret, even if you are feeling a little under confident, the only one who really knows it is you Building self esteem is not just about thinking good about yourself, it's about not thinking bad for no reason!

Changing our mindset and thinking more positive over time we see things differently. People pick up on the positive vibe or the inner glow you have and it shows.

Yes, this will be ridiculed or seen as gibberish I am sure , I have had my share of disbelievers, but this comes from the heart when I say this....subconsciously hidden emotions and past hurts can be read in people postings and until you deal with these issues certain cycles will indeed repeat themselves until you decide to change from within.

Okay who wants a group hug????

How diplomatic of you yoke!!! Im not so sure I would have said it so nicely........ppl piss me off with their negativity......whiners....now if they would just stop and look in the mirror and quit blaming everyone and everything for the reason why they can't attract someone, then maybe they would figure it out......

Sigh...here we go again, Romantic Soul. All men want size 0's? Please. I date women who are anywhere from a size 8 up to a size 20. I like woman with meat on their bones. Lumping all men or women for that matter into one category is just plain childish. There are so many different types of people on this site. Not everyone will be a fit but there sure as heck will be some that are pretty darn close.

You want to improve your chances, Romantic Soul? Try removing that 150 mile limit you have on your profile. Start using the Mutual Match and for heaven's sakes stop making negative posts like this. I said it before and I will say it again, negative attitude is one of the biggest turn offs for men and women.

Yokoke, my sentiments exactly. You can get knocked down, stay down for awhile and then allow yourself to heal and move on or you can get knocked down and stay down. The choice is your own. If you play the "victim" role the rest of your life, then you most certainly will always be a victim in everything you do.

Nothing wrong with men. We're freaking perfect!

I'm not having problems dating. Went on 13 dates with 13 different people. All of them wonderful. Some became freinds. Some I never heard from again. A few had zero interests and zero compatibility factor. But no real sparks yet. But I'm not giving up nor do I act unbelievably jaded as some.

And all those dates were in the last 11 months.

I like the fact that you have the maturity to keep those that didn't have girlfriend potential as friends. Some people are not like that at all. If they aren't girlfriend/boyfriend material then they get tossed aside. I can't think of anything better than to find a new friend to interact with.

But I know if YOU go out of your way to be insecure, neurotic, negative, pessimistic, critical of everything, complain constantly, blame others handily, and act like this consistantly YOU will not get a second date with me and most probably will never ever hear from me again. Who is attracted to crap? I'm not. Are you attracted to crap? Do you have a crap magnet in your pocket? Do you live for crap? Is it the only thing that matters to you? Do you wake up in the morning with a positive outlook or a desire for crap? Do you worry about crap all the time? Do you lose sleep over crap? Or do you sleep with a clear concious? That's a lot of crap. Substitute crap for the word drama now. Some call it drama. I call it crap. And crap is in no way productive or positive. It is crap.

Don't make me use adjectives with crap. Stupid crap. Useless crap. Crappy crap. Silly crap. You know what happens when you smack crap? It splatters. Boy that's a lot of crap!
