PAST GUYS == ALWAYS JERKS -- thats why they are past, if there wasnt any problems, they wouldnt break up/dump each other
There are other reasons why relationships don't work. Reasons that don't require any issues/misunderstandings between the couple. Those are the worst kind of break-ups. The ones where neither person fvcked up :(

how about guys or gals from Online matchmaking sites? friend finder sites?

What do you think most of them are? Players or shy people who does'nt go out and ask the opposite sex out?


I personally think most of them are out to prey on the innocent either for one reason or another.

My wife and I are total opposites. Been married 30 years. We have never broken up or separated. We work out every problem within 15 minutes.

Do you think there might be a message there?

A question about gals;

why do they always complain that their past BFs are mostly jerks, but ironically they love to go out with jerks/players/morons....whatever you like to call them.

Most gals i ask about their past relationships complain that "guys are jerks or good guys are hard to find etc....."
But then they fall for players again and again and again and......

What the hell is wrong with gals? I cannot find an equation to this "problem", neither can i comprehend how gals think nor can i understand why they are attracted more to players than genuine good guys!

I know the tricks and smooth talk of players, and they are 10 times "nicer" than genuine nice guys, but can't gals discern between a guy in sheep's clothing and a genuine good guy?

I know alot of reasons why gals fall for players, but it is not the players fault totally, gals got to take responsibility when they "choose" a jerk. Is it a gal's nature not to have any sense of Discernment?

Just because Genuine good guys are more to the shy side, does'nt mean we are losers or boring!!

If you need some statistics, here is one. America has more than 7million kids without their biological fathers! And the # is growing.
Beceause you're referring to either girls or women who have not grown up. Any girl that gives you those lines with a straight face is a frigging dumbass. That and a liar.

i'm in my mid 20s, i think i should find gals more mature and maybe around my age.

But age may not necessarily judge your maturity or wisdom.

How do you know if a gal likes you? (Gals that play hard to get, and show no emotions)

Would you risk your friendship with a friend and ask her out? (without knowing if she is interested in you romantically)
Or just drop the idea and remain good friends?

I dun believe in Love at First Sight either.

A lot of good advise from some of you. Thanks.

Wether a girl likes you or not, no one can answer that for you but yourself. You just know. And I agree with what was said earlier, just try to be open, fight being shy (if you are) and show your colors. Either they'll like you or they won't. And you'll move on.

/me should take his own advise.

No it doesn't. Girls mature faster than guys. That would explain why in most couples the guy is older, at least by a bit. My first GF was a few years younger and we got along perfectly. Too bad certain other people didn't feel that way.

How do you know if a gal likes you? (Gals that play hard to get, and show no emotions)
Do you really want a girl who plays hard to get? If they show no emotions they probably don't like you. Either that or you can't take obvious hints. Usually, you just know.

Would you risk your friendship with a friend and ask her out? (without knowing if she is interested in you romantically)
. Do you know if she likes you? You should know. And if you're that good of friends, talking about the possibility of a relationship shouldn't harm the friendship, even if there's no chemistry.

The "Players" do not always get the chicks. In my dorm I got a good buddy who is the biggest player in the world, and all the girls hate him. He would get with like 3 chicks a day, and soon the chicks all ran out and he went through any chick that would talk with him in 3 days. Now he is getting the royal shaft.

I on the other hand was able to work my way in with the hottest chick in the dorm (I got pics but i'm not going to post them on the internet for you slobs) and caused her to break up with her boyfriend.

I agree, girls don't seem to be a very good judge of character
I don't know, they seem to avoid you. That seems to be some excellent character judging to me. Girls like attractive guys, not skinny runts who don't bath regularly. Hit the gym, get a clue and for god sakes take a bath.

opposites do attract, but opposites don't stay opposite after a while.

And if they do stay opposite, they won't stay together.

but they do go for nice guys... a lot of "nice guys" don't have very much self esteem though and they don't know how/try to get girls. also a lot of them are kind of boring... nobody wants to date someone who's boring.

hah, that aplies to me!

where did they come from then? asexual reproduction? lol

Hey, they did it with rats in Italy last year. Soon, the penis will become obsolete! Or maybe just the sperm -- we'll probably keep some penii around in the entertainment room.
