You did good, and you were right.
Hey I know I am ugly, so why argue. There are always going to people (men and women) who go by looks alone.
Thankfully there are others who care about what is inside a person and who a person is.
I'm scarred for life...I can't hear the name Hedy Lamarr without thinking, "That's Hedley!!!"
I read your post. Quite insightful.
Well, I don't blame you. You wouldn't want to learn something, would you? Put that book down before you hurt yourself!!! :-)
Thanks for the belly laugh of the week, Double D!!!
You're right, but for the wrong reasons. Those things can drive off a good woman if they are done too quickly or incongruently. None of the traits you list necessarily denote a 'real man.'
The guys who get rejected after this routine aren't being rejected because they are perceived as 'real men,' though that may be a comforting thought. They come across as weak or needy men. A real woman doesn't want a needy man. They are being rejected on legitimate grounds for character defects, not character strengths.
It's ok to do all those things congruently with a mature relationship. If those traits are done out of weakness, for the need for her approval or favor, or general neediness, women spot that and ditch the guy. If they are done from a position of strength, affection, and masculinity, those things are fine and will be appreciated.
Most self described 'nice guys' aren't all that nice, and most women recognize this.
Anybody who selects mates on shallow grounds alone gets what they deserve. It's a problem that gets addressed naturally, and that's a good thing.
You can't please all of the people, so don't fret!!
Scott Steiner, huh? I did not watch this week. I guess I missed a lot.
"future husbands to judge their wives' attractiveness by considerations beyond flesh alone"
Sing with me now
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never marry a pretty wife...
Ugly is in now.
Agreed. Not everyone judges someone on appearance alone. THANKFULLY!
From the article:
But Esther is a woman possessed both of outer and inner beauty, a heroine who exhibits uncommon wisdom, courage and dedication to the helpless. In short, she is a woman of outstanding character and her story is that of the triumph not only of the Jews over their enemies, but also of a woman's ability to win over a man with her brains rather than her bust.
So the good rabbi holds up exactly what I want as his example, the total package. I'm just looking for what the rabbi told me! :^)
Miss you!
Miss you too. What you guy's doing this weekend. Call me tonight (after 9:00)
Depends how you define "heap". Today it's more exactly called "the fertile uterine bulge"
A woman is not supposed to have a flat stomach (and God forbid she have six pack abs - how gross) It should have a gentle curve to it. Not fat, but not bony either.
My first post in months. I've always been extremely particular about girls in terms of appearance, poise and sensuality and as a consequence I typically end up with the vainglorious variety so common here and throughout the greater LA area.
I'd like to join the Friday group at Gulliver's if the invite remains good.
"We guys prefer: full bosom"
Because little girls don't have curves, long legs and full bosoms, so it is a defense against pedophilia?
"That sense of entitlement is also very widespread among American women"
I think the popularity of "The Rules" books has something to do with it. Before, it was expected that equal rights meant women equally shouldered responsibility in relationships. Now, young women are going back to the old ways of making the guy do all the pursuing, pay for everything, go through all the hoops to court her because she's a "creature unlike any other."
The only "think", huh?
Well, some of use enjoy nitpicking over other folks' spelling, too :-)
Cheers!
Funny, I never do that. It's always fun picking on a typo rather then addressing the issue, but since you're here, let me share with you an email I got the other day so we can both laugh, it's called - Men are like...
