err... from ~reading~ your posts.

I'm just curious.
What set you off was the "beached whale" label. Am I right?
I'm trying to make sense of your post otherwise. I hear you saying that it's perfectly acceptable to claim to weigh 135 when reality says 220... ?

What women really want is commitment!....follwed immediately by honesty & respect!

Let's be real, here: Different women want different things.

I'm simply not going to cater to them all. I'm who I am. I'm funny, I'm confident, there's some niceness way down deep in me that the right woman can dig out, I come at life from gratitude, I try to be of service to others but I won't take guff either.

Correct :~D The rest of your post is ~not~ what I was trying to convey.

[Lazamataz]

You're 40 now. There's got to be something else you're supposed to grow into, some better label for a grown up than 'bad boy'.

A better label for it is confident and masculine.

Guff?

What did I say ????....Guff?

I was just talking in generalities...

For this concept taken to the limit, check out one of the funniest movies ever made, John Landis' "Amazon Women on the Moon." Steve Guttenberg and Rosanna Arquette are going out on a date, and she "checks him out."

I was thinking the same thing and trying to Google a still from that portion of the movie.

"I don't want a mortgage, I just want to take you out."

and

Rosanna: "Oh, I love Meryl Streep."

Guttenberg: "I am so into her."

You dated the kid from "That 70s Show?"

[Lazamataz]

So was I.

[HairOfTheDog]

I haven't watched the show... Is he a drummer?

[CajunConservative]

That's just nasty. ick ick ick

[RockinRight]

No but he smokes pot, has long hair, and isn't very bright. I was talking about Michael, Ashton Kutcher's character...but of course that could be any guy on that show!!

Men seem to think that "petite" means slim, but women know that it's a clothing size range for short women. They have "petite" sizes up to 16. So imagine 5"2" and about 180 pounds. But there's a "P" on her shirt label.

What women really want is commitment!....

Not at first we don't. We only want commitment after we've become committed ourselves. A guy who speaks too early about commitment is potentially just a stalker. ;~D

[HairOfTheDog]

Ah - well the guys I remember were actually quite bright under all that hair.... even when stoned ;~D

[Guenevere]

Laz is the baddest, nicest guy on this forum!

[Lazamataz]

lol

[CajunConservative]

It's not just the women who lie. You want to know how many married men sign up for the dating sites? They also lie about height, weight, and whether or not they have hair. It's not a gender thing but a lack of character thing.

[RockinRight]

That's true too but since I wasn't LOOKING for men...I didn't comment on it!

[baker_girl]

A good combination!
