ridestrong 1 #101 January 15, 2010 BOTH men and women are EQUALLY superficial. Men do things that women want to see in a man, such as: work-out, get the good job, drive the right car, treat them like a lady... Women do things that men want to see in a woman: try to be/stay skinny, wear sexy clothes, act like a lady... In most cases both sexes will be attracted to or date someone that is in their same level or league to put it simply. The problem (many times) is when we try to date beyond our league. The guy that drives the Porsche to try to improve his status but doesn't cut it in the other aspects will likely not make it with the type of women he is trying to attract. Just like the women that lose weight when they are single and gain it back once in a relationship likely won't make it last with the type of guys they are trying to attract. These are often the people that are always single and bitch about it all the time. It's a two way street and it goes both ways.*I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #103 January 15, 2010 Quote >See? Now that just pisses me off. Any of those guys up for coaching >me on how to do that? Stop caring about hooking up with women and just get good at what you do. Competence, confidence and a lack of desperation go a long way. I'm thinking Pops was just joking on that one, Bill.But then, maybe not.Rule 1- Be confident, even if you have to fake it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewEckhardt 0 #112 January 15, 2010 QuoteYeah but I'm pulling $100k and 5'9" and in good shape. So why can't I have a preference with out being called a pigdog? Your salary isn't high enough to afford an allowance for a woman who'll overlook any shortcoming you can bring to the table. Since it's pretty hard to add a digit to fix that problem you'll want to take the practical approach. Stop "trying," do a variety of interesting things you otherwise enjoy, be open to getting to know the women who you cross paths with along the way, and date the ones you really like when they come along. After enough tries there's often one that really fits. First there's an omnipresent overnight bag. Then your socks get evicted into the boxer drawer and you loose a corner of the bathroom. Eventually much of your closet space is gone and when you have more than one bathroom you have one less. Somewhere along the way you can honestly say "No, I don't love my cat more than you," could spend your life with her, pop the question, get married, be overly smoochy and disgusting around your unmarried friends, and worry about things like how you can both retire sooner so you can travel more together. QuoteJust because I have a dick I'm suppose to be a mindless drone with out preference? No, although if we're just being superficial there are plenty of women who'd rather date a guy who's 5'10 and has a $200K compensation package. You'll be happier sooner if you figure out what's important for long term happiness. Women with personality and intelligence enough to make you laugh often who are competitive at the scrabble board and racquetball court are a lot more enjoyable than ones who are merely blonde and size zero.
