My opinion is that if, by a certain age, someone hasn't learned what is and isn't acceptable and expected in a dating environment, they will never learn.

CASE: a friend of mine has been dating this guy for a few weeks. Personally, I'd have put him on the road after the first one, but she likes him for some reason. He insulted her at dinner, making fun of what she wore. Then he drank too much. Then he...yes, he did...he burped out loud at the table. At least he didn't fart, so that's something.

Subsequent dates have been more of the same.

Anyway, she and I were having this conversation last night and she says that it's possible that no one has ever told him that that's not how we act. She thinks that having a conversation with him about why these actions offend her might make him see the light.

:roflmao:

I told her that he's a lost cause. If he doesn't know these things by his age (which is early 40's) he has no interest in learning.

What say you? Can you teach an old dog new tricks, or should you just have them put down? (She's cute, too, so no need to desperately cling to some loser for fear no one else will ever ask her to dance.)

That's when I'd have said bye-bye. :howdy: I've already raised children. I wouldn't wanna have a do over with someone my own age.

Ick. If he's acting like that at the beginning, imagine what he'll be like when he gets "comfortable".

There's no sense in having that conversation - that IS how HE acts! :lol: And apparently, he likes it that way, otherwise he wouldn't have. He behaved like a boor. (insulting her?!) I say she should chalk that up and move on.

Personally, I'd have put him on the road after the first one,

:roflmao:

:yeahthat:

That.

I wouldn't have been offended by someone commenting on something I wore (that they didn't like). If I look silly in something, please tell me.

And I often burp out loud. :blushing:

You know she doesn't put out, right?

I don't either.

He doesn't live in Calvert does he? He sounds very familiar.

Recent ex. :buddies:

I was in my 30's before I learned to swallow pills whole rather than chewing them (or, in the case of capsules, opening them up and emptying the contents into a spoon). True story. Point being, there's always hope that an old dog can learn new tricks.

What does that have to do with the situation described in the OP? I have no clue.

Guys will put up with all kinds of bad behavior from women because it a piece of you know what.... and they mostly think with the small head. I see this on a daily basis.

Why women put up with guys bad behavior is beyond me :shrug:

One can hope you could teach an old dog a new trick and I wish them luck :buddies:

What does that have to do with the situation described in the OP? I have no clue.
But an interesting story, nonetheless.

Oh! I know of ONE instance where this worked. A divorced 30 something met a guy she really liked and all her friends adored him..except he had bad eating habits. He shoveled food into his mouth really fast and everyone would stare at him.

After discussing it with friends, she decided he was worth trying to "fix" so she told him about how his eating habits were rude. He actually listened, started eating like a human, they have been married almost 3 years and are living as happily ever after, as two imperfect humans can live. :love:

bad eating habits.

See, and I wouldn't have even looked at anything after this. He could have been freakin' Brad Pitt with a brain and a sense of humor, but bad table manners will result in an immediate dismissal.

I've taught many old dogs new tricks.

For the stubborn, badly mannered ones, ones I suggest e-collars.

Bzzzt.

:evil:

We're gonna get YOU an e-collar and train you ... :popcorn:

Better put that effer on high.... I sometimes hang out with women so you know I have a high pain tolerance.

I once dated a guy who would send e-mail all of the time, all with really poor punctuation. As an example, excessive and redundant !!!!!!!! marks, etc.)

I told him about this annoyance, and he never did anything about it. Perhaps he thought I was joking about it, I don't know. I just know that it bugged the crap outta me.

I was all happy, happy when I broke up with him!!!!!!!!!! <------ :shocking:

This is just an example of him not WANTING or WILLING to change for the better.

What say you? Can you teach an old dog new tricks, or should you just have them put down? (She's cute, too, so no need to desperately cling to some loser for fear no one else will ever ask her to dance.)
Maybe I ......er.....a.... I mean maybe HE doesn't wanna change. :jet:

Ya know what? That's who he really is, take it or leave it. At least he's not doing the typical fake act until he gets her hooked and then revert to his true self.

If everyone acted like themselves when dating there'd be less breakups later. Probably less hookups to start with, but still...

I agree. Dating works better when you do it to get to know the other person, not when you use it as a tool to change them into the person they'd rather be on a date with.

At your age, you just take whatever you can get.

she decided he was worth trying to "fix"

That happens a lot with women and men hope the hot babe with the fancy matching underwear won't change.

Both get dissapointed :bawl:

My $.02-
I don't lower my standards because others can't raise theirs.

You can teach an old dog old tricks-maybe not new ones.

Kick him to the curb and move on. :buttkick:

I would have been ticked if he insulted me and my clothing attire (as long as I was dressed properly and not like something off 14th Street), belching happens if he "excused himself", but just letting it rip w/no manners...you shouldn't have to teach them at age 40 something. I say she should dump this guy. If she's cute, nice, personable, decent qualities, kick him to the curb. Teaching some guy all this stuff will just drain the life out of her and eventually she'll lose interest in him because she'll probably just get tired of it all. I would!!!

You cannot change a person. Especially a person that old is set in ther ways.
Wish your friend luck

I used to do this, and so did your oldest I'm betting. It was the only we could eat for the better part of a year of our lives.
