Anyone else pretty much given up on dating?

No kidding.

I was digging what she was saying then she lost me at "healthy life style".

Sounds like a control freak. This is the problem with some people.

Whose standard are we to say "healthy life style"?

You all wanted to know why I have such a hard on for Jennifer Lawernece...because I dont see control freak in her.

She is dating Aaron...a chubby older man.

She may fap and be a slug....which is too much freedom. But she has potential to see freedom by giving it.

Slug = slut.

I am over weight and it bothers me.

I need a woman to comfort me. Then I know I can eat and drink soberly. Just not now.

yep. girls are either sluts or prudes. It's hopeless. They dont even want to try a 2nd or 3rd date.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Because... It won't.

Don't worry, you'll end up back in the pathetic dating scene soon enough.

I think it depends on your expectations of a date.

You could just go out meet people.

Find someone.

Why put a label on the process?

Just be human. Go out, live, be happy, love.

Nah, I love fucking too much.

Don't give up. Just learn to be much more careful in considering who you wish to date. Ask a lot of questions and really listen to her answers. Figure out exactly where you can compromise vs the necessary deal breakers.

There is so much false info on all of these dating threads. The older I am the more offers I get because I've learned what men want in a woman. Likewise the pickier I am as well. Yes I am child-free for a variety of sensible reasons.


Can't understand why men won't bother to listen to what I tell them. Then they wonder why they get turned down all of the time. Men, if a women is physically attractive chances are she's chosen to live a certain lifestyle that's focused on fitness especially if her job requires it.

Guarantee a large part of her paycheck (and yours too, if you're married) has to go to maintaining her appearance. So why would you suggest going out for a beer or to eat high fat and unhealthy food? It just doesn't make sense.

The majority of my past employment has been for "upscale" law firms, casinos, and private businesses where company parties require men to "fit in" to that environment. So why would I ever want to go out with a man who puts down those who work in certain places? He's only showing his own extreme immaturity and selfishness, a clear sign to avoid no matter where I work.

Clearly agree with the "older woman" who said she couldn't understand a man going out with a girl who always appears to be looking for "the bigger, better deal." Have heard the same exact complaints from platonic male friends. My advice is always find a woman who isn't rude. Well the men should have known they were trying to date a girl that would never really care about them as a person. They were focusing on seeking a girl with the wrong qualities and wondering why they kept getting badly burnt.

For me it was more like

What kind of job do you have? How much are you making?

(sort of rude to ask a woman this kind of question)

This is what they wanted to know at first.

I would think... if it's my money you're after... then fuck off!

Got a girls number at work the other week. Texted her briefly, but havent heard back from her at all. Tried to set up a date with her but she said she would get back to me once ahe gets back in town, this was three weeks ago. She could have just fucking lied and told me she had a boyfriend or even that she wasnt interested in dating at the mkment, but no, girls have to be fucking weird. Im a pretty straight up kinda guy although i can be a bit shy when it comes to these things so its just like cmon... be straight up or follow through! Im only 25 and at this point it seems like its just never going to really happen.

I've known a wonderful girl for a very long time, and we've been in and out of relationship. We almost got married but she wanted to stay single. She's hard core lefty, but we never let politics get between us. I consider her to be mentally ill regarding her political choices, and she feels the same about me. I still care for her as a truly good friend though. I am consoled that her stupid political ideas won't make any difference in the world, and for myself, I just live my life and ignore politics to the best of my ability.

I'm just looking for a drama-free relationship with a good woman that enjoys sex, intimacy, love, bonding and commitment to each other, along with not wanting kids.

Same here, but financially I can afford a boy toy.
Finding a sober one with a far side sense of humor and some construction skills who won't steal is the trick.

I have land, and I have income and I have a job. Some security and my own tribe.

Just want a tall good looking wild side chief, long hair a plus.

Very well said, I have been married several times to guys 10 yrs my younger and still into drugs and beer and women. I started thinking about me and am older now and alone but care for my handicapped son and young grandson, dont think a man would want to share my life with them.I am happy spending my time and money without having to ask a man if its ok.

Maybe we need to setup GLP Dating!

I can't wait to show some of the girls my moms basement.

Bitches always playing games!

What a dimwit!

Get emo about girls to this song:

Yep, she doesn't eat meat either so she has the vegan stank ass!

lol no

every other day i'm getting propositions from hungry beavers

Who is this guy, Macron? Men are attracted to youth and fertility, period. Older women are no go. She's damaged goods. Used up. Infertile. Avoid at all costs. She has no reason to stay with you if you don't have kids. She will take you to the cleaners!

She's dating Aaron because he's a director and offering her movie roles. Sadly Lawrence is destroying her looks by overindulging in alcohol and who knows what else.

Agree you need to have similar lifestyles and values to be compatible. I could not date a man who didn't have a very healthy lifestyle. I've had to drop strictly platonic friends who couldn't accept my attetmpts to get physically stronger by avoiding certain food. Why others don't understand basic food allergies is beyond me. I want to stay physically fit and strong, as well as thin and curvy.

What if I wanted to work part time and be the one home with the kids?

Agree with you so many girls cannot be honest and won't tell you dating at work is a potential minefield. It takes maturity and/or experience for a woman to state her preferences clearly.

Look for someone who won't play games which not 100% of all of us actually do. There are lots of places to find quality young women besides the workplace.

I work at a Sprouts and it was a customer. I dont go to bars or clubs because i end up wnjoying getting too drunk which i regret and im trying not to drink at all. It really does seem like the oppurtunities are just really slim. Especially being someone who isnt your typical sheep involved in typical things people at 25 usually do. Just had a weird dream about my ex too which was my first and only serious relationship and we have been split for over 3 years because she betrayed me... wtf do i gotta do.... its like God just wants me to be alone.

Had a date last night, she seem very excited to meet me. It seemed like we were hitting it off. Out of nowhere she called me a stalker for friending her on fb. Excuse me? You were a friend of a friend. I wouldn't call that stalking. She left without saying anything then ghosted me and befriended me. I am taking a break for a while. Too flaky

and I met her in person before friending her

Yes. Yes. Yes. Me, Too.

Agree!!!
