Why women don't like you "nice guys"

Yet that's how Mom's today are raising their boys. They aren't letting them rough house, they can't play outside and explore, they aren't made to do chores or learn how to fix things or do things for themselves, they aren't expected to get jobs until they become adults, they are coddled and not made to respect their elders, etc.
There is no way a coddled, protected from the world boy is going to grow up and know how to be a man.
To put a real world example to this....
I was in Target by the pool toy stuff. Guy pulls out one of those long Styrofoam noodles, and suggests this for their kid. Woman say no, he'll get hurt using that. The guy, and I, were both kind of dumbfounded. He says, "REALLY???", like 'are you frikking kidding me?'... eventually puts it back.

Or building a chicken coop... go little Bubba!
I already witnessed a sample of the boys that come out of that family and they are definitely boys who become men. No doubt in my mind Bubba will not only be able to work smart, but work hard and get dirty too.

AND do it all with no clothes on!!

We would NEVER have that conversation about a pool noodle.. BUT if we had that conversation it would be something like..
"Hey, let's by X for Bubba!"
"He might get hurt!!"
"Yeah, but it won't kill him!"
"OK"

Up to a point. I do not like splinters in my wangdoodle.
Isn't it nice of them to weed themselves out on the first date, though? I'm a huge fan of efficiency.

Oh! He should watch "Naked and Afraid" on Discovery!
Naked and Afraid : Discovery Channel
It's all about doing all sorts of manly survival stuff while naked as the day is long. He would love it!

You listed 5 guys that you're currently dating (unless you're pointing out several issues in a couple of guys). Collector or no intention of choosing one for keeps?

She'll never admit it and may ban me for saying this but Vrai and I are a lot alike in some ways.
We're of the same philosophy whereas we believe being "single" isn't a bad thing. I do not feel the need whatsoever to be in a relationship. I enjoy my privacy immensely but when/if the right "one" comes along, I'll settle down. Right now I'm enjoying life and having fun.
What I don't get is the wimmins (and men per Vrai) who fall in love soon as you smile at them or say something nice. WTF is up with that??
Some people don't like themselves enough to bear being alone. They don't think they're "complete" unless they're in a relationship. The sad thing is, they won't have a happy relationship until they finally do like themselves.
Sampling the buffet. I'd keep a guy who didn't have issues. Like Tox said, it's weird out there.

Everyone has issues. You just choose which ones you'll live with.
I once had a discussion with a friend who was encouraging me to date, and I was telling him they were all messed up.
"What about xxx?"
"Are you kidding? She's a slob. And there's that hypoglycemia thing"
"How about xxx?"
"She's nuttier than a fruitcake and she talks constantly".
"How about...."
"Larry (no ####, that was his name), it doesn't matter WHO you mention, I'm gonna find something wrong with them"
"Then, it isn't THEM, is it?"
Really made me think, and I still think about that conversation. It's made me realize when I am angry at the world, the world isn't going to change, but I can EASILY change how I react to it.

You don't hate cats, you shouldn't hate any animal really. The cat probably wasn't properly trained how to use scratching pads that are designed for cats. How many women have you dated that you discovered have cats?

Sam, I recently had this conversation with a friend who has been arguing with her live in bf. They've been together for a couple of years. I told her that it's not about what he does, it's about what he does that she can tolerate. I asked her "do you love him enough". She came clean with concerns about her part in the relationship as well.
She's still there, so we'll see.
