I find that at my age of 38 most women my age seem to not be interested in a genuine romantic loyal man. I find that they have been weighed down by the emotional baggage of being mistreated by a man or men previously. When I was young I was a nitwit who never appreciated having the right girl in my life but now that I've shed such defects it seems most women don't respect a non-abusive man. I do blame men for that.

I'm glad you didn't assume ALL women do that because I don't. I want a man that knows what being a man means...honesty, loyalty, knowing that his fists don't solve everything, etc

Despite my past exs, I still believe that not all men are like them

I respect a non-abusive man.

I don't credit men or women for that, however.

Ditto

I demand non abusive men....whether it's physical or verbal. no one deserves abuse

Glad you didnt bulk all women together (like the previous ladies stated).

I would love a genuine, romantic, and loyal man. I am not weighed down by my past experiences nor relationships, when my relationships ended, I got rid off all baggages. I went out and purchased new ones.

well I demand a woman who likes light playful abuse in the right setting

psst...consentual spankings aren't abuse

is that like smoking but not inhaling?

I find the opposite... Well more specifically, in my youth as in my current place in life.. I have been pretty fortunate. Sure, I've occasionally attracted a few that were umm.. interesting, much like a science experiment is interesting.
However.. My life has been blessed with some really wonderful people. As I get older ~ aside from the occasional fopah, which are valuable lessons learned about me.. not them ~ I find the quality of women (and woman, specifically) in my life better, beyond my expectations or belief!

see???? I knew you would understand

AMEN !!!!

a couple of years ago thought I had found the perfect woman, she turned out to be abusive (verbally) could fix a perfect meal but would meet a putdown of some type. could go out with her she would pick the place we went then scream about it for a couple of days, not where she wanted to go, for a couple of days she would talk about wanting a box of candy would spell out the brand, then complain when you bought it for her. just never happy with what I did.

sounds like she wasn't happy with herself and needed to place blame on you

keep the blame, just lace something else on me rose

hmmm into lace are ya????

all I know is that after about a year of this kind of thing said that is enough gal I would rather be alone as put up with your constant bi**hing.

good 4 u widower

Not to get you ladies mad and this is not directed to anyone specific. But the ladies who tend to respect a disrespectful guy and live with the abuse lie about to themselves out of fear of facing the grim truth. The nice guys tend to finish last. Has been true in 90% of my experience. You can be good-looking and be willing to treat a girl like a princess and more times than not they pass you by for the guy who seems disinterested or more aloof to them. It's the natural desire of most human beings to desire that which is hard to get or be victorious in getting the thing it seemed they couldn't have. I just hope I can someday meet a girl with self-esteem and a loving heart is proud to be who she is and share her dreams with me.
