Don't think that's what she meant - it's just a saying because some people are just so hung up on looking for someone to date, etc.

Your no going to meet people sitting in the house watching TV or constantly sitting in front of computer either. Some people set their expectations too high in what they want and looking for. Nobody is perfect. Someone can let someone good pass them bye because they don't give them a chance or judge them without seeing what they are really like.

It wasn't as much a dig at you as it was some of the men in that area. From talking to a lot of guys when I lived there, they felt it was a challenge to find a quality woman. They, too, had expectations/standards/etc. But in joking around, they also wanted a piece of ass ... thus my comment about your pool of potentials.

Yes, if you're in a relationship, sex is part of it and something both people typically want.

Or you get women (and it's mostly women) who entice a guy with sex, thinking he'll fall madly in love with them, and then get all depressed when he says, "Thanks for the boot!" and runs off.

So Tshow's statement is correct, and more people should think that way, in my opinion.
...I read her loud and clear. Her post after yours she say;

Quote:
I'm not going to hop in bed within the first few months of dating. I'm just not.
Now, what if he says "Well, I'm just not talking about all sorts of personal stuff the first few months. I'm just not."

For her, and that's fine, sex is something you do after investing MONTHS in some new guy. I'm not suggesting people get down to it after the first 5 minutes or first date or any other predetermined time frame, but, months?

"Gee Herb, you're such a nice guy. You talk real nice and make a nice quiche and you're window treatments are just fabulous, but 2 minutes and missionary and that's all you like?"

How long is reasonable before one would like to know how deep compatibility goes?

...the smart azz comments.


So, you have just excluded, by your own experience, abstinence as a strong indicator of long term compatibility, yes?

In purely technical terms, no one NEEDS to get laid. By that standard, no one needs a TV or a hug, or to hold hands or to go to the movies or read a book or to talk.

Sex is a profoundly deep part of human relationships for men. So is attention and holding hands and, believe it or not, talking. We may have a tough time talking about everything you like, but, just ask us about the Redskins draft and you'll see, when our eyes light up, that talking is simply a matter of topic, for either sex.

So, you as a woman, speak for yourself as to what matters to you, but, if you want a man who doesn't highly value a good sex life with his woman, good luck. My wife says there's someone for everyone out there.

Just asking; do you hate men?
I love all that cuddly stuff..............

He was kinda cute but apparently I said something that his 'ex' had said and he let me know. He got all bent out of shape about it. Why would he even make reference to that comparison. not cool.

Then he wanted to know all about my first marriage and what went wrong. What happened to just enjoying the persons company and seeing where it leads to. He wanted to know EVERYTHING in two hours. and he kept asking me to come back to his house. My god~ it was the first date! and he's a Sercurity officer. He should know better than to ask a women home on the first date. And he says what all cheap men say, "women just want a man for their money". I'm so tired of that line. I make my own money and enjoy it !

I just don't understand men of today. No manners! Well....the ones in my single's group have them, but ......I'm not meeting anymore men online that's for sure.
Have you tried eharmony? Hubby & I should be on the commercials!

I never dated online until my manager pushed me to do it. She was on match.com and met her husband but eharmony is more for serious relationships. After 2 long term relationships that I was unhappy with and ultimately broke off, I finally decided to give online dating a shot. I may have gotten lucky, but I was only on there for 3 weeks when I got matched up with my soul mate - he was only on there for 2 weeks. We've been married almost a year and all my friends/family say he's the male version of me.
