Why does everybody think that, just because she enjoys a drink every now and then, that she has a problem?

One way or another, I suppose it's probably a good thing. It's a warning sign that can be seen from a mile away for all the horny geeks here who have 1) seen her picture and 2) find out she's a Citrix admin.

Because she said she did. Maybe the two of you could join here.

You don't find prime beef in the pigpen. Go to church! The only Real man is one who wants to be like Christ.

Gotta agree with him for the most part... depends on the church you go to, though. The touchy feely guys aren't always as good, either.

Evil,
Actually, her description of a real man wasn't far off, she just left off a real important part. We are created in three parts: physical, mental, spiritual. We are responsible to the Lord for all three. I'm heading toward 70 very quickly, and bet I could whip most of these guys at raquetball.

<< You know, the guys who can do everything. The one's who say what they mean and do what they say. The one's who are in great shape because they actually do stuff. The one's who are honest, who when he gives his word he'd bankrupt himself before he broke it. The real man who wants more than anything to be a great husband and father.

I love men. But all I've met are jerks who just want to wine, dine, and recline. Or, really nice guys who are just boys inside. They are nice because they are scared to not be.

Sarah <== not a real prize either.

What kind of crap is this! So you mean women should just relax and watch men make complete idiots of them selvses?

Durniks are few and far between. Your drinking problem doesn't exactly help either. Perhaps you need to go to AA and then get out in the world and do the things that you enjoy. Drinking Jack and Coke while sitting in front of a computer every night is NOT going to find you Mr. Right. Maybe you won't meet some man with Fabio's body and a great person to boot, but do look for the man who is at least a great person. When you are both 50, 60, 70 years old neither of you will be a prize on the outside but what's on the inside will be just as strong as the day you met.

Yeah, the most mentally healthy and stable individuals are usually found from the church, sure ;)

Sarah, every girl I've ever gotten involved with has loved drama. Been absolutely captivated with causing and working out problems we had together. Men hate that. When we're home it's to relax, not solve problems. Especially when they concern things that are extremely silly but we're barred from saying that because for some inescapable reason, it's not silly to you ladies.

Frankly, most guys are blank slates, coming to the table in good faith. Girls like you with "issues" seem destined to try and break us. We are usually not the ones to sob over our mistreatments in our youths, as terrible as they might have been. What's in the past should damn well stay there! You will find your fair share of male drama queens out there and the general asshole, but you can't really blame all of us for you not being able to discern basic personality traits (if he's always sighing or making large animated hand movements all the time, he's a drama queen. If he asks to fsck the first night he sees you, he's an asshole).

Men (not guys), then, are simply above this. You are not in the same league as one until you cut the BS from your own end, and that includes laying out your personal troubles on the table the day after consummation and expecting a man to wait through you getting over them. You really do sound like you're waiting for someone to sweep your problems away, but it won't happen. You'll just make life miserable for the both of you (more you than him, he'll just get out).

Don't mean to come down too hard on you. If you've been paying attention lately, you'll know I've had a rough day...

Sure there are "real" men out there. But I have noticed that women usually fall for the losers, whereas the good and decent guys are avoided like a plague.

Well, I'm a good and decent guy, and I did find my dream-girl eventually :). It wasn't easy though.

Good for you. I agree with what you say.
How much humiliation did you have to go through before you caught her eye?

Hey! What's wrong with those types? There is a difference between being nice because a person is scared not to be and being nice because it is in a person's nature. The former suggests the person really wants to be mean, but doesn't have the stomach for it. The latter suggests the person does not want to be mean because...because its not right!

I'm really a 30...uh...crap...Ok, I'm actually a 31 year-old (I keep forgetting my B-Day was last month) kid at heart. That certainly doesn't mean I won't take charge when its needed, or that I won't stand-up for myself, or that I don't like a little rough sex now and then (although I won't initiate the rough part because its just not me). ;-)

I'm not the mountain-climbing, sky-diving, decathalon entering type, but I'm a big DIY'er and yes I do actually finish a project before starting four others. My last girlfriend complained because when I start something I don't quit until the job is finished. Oh, that was just fine in the bedroom, "incredible" I think was the word she used, but it was some big problem when I would work on the car from early AM to late PM.

You can't have it all ways, girls! You can't just 'turn-on' certain characteristics when its to your advantage to do so, then expect us to be someone different when it suits you. I do like to lounge around, though. hehe

I would prefer to lounge around with my girl, but if I have to, I'll lounge around all by myself.

It took me about... A bit over year (from the moment I saw her to the moment she said "yes"). That might not sound as much, but it was filled with all kinds of obstacles. She sure didn't make it easy for me :).

Well, I had to wait for about 21 years before I even met her...

Well, considering your not a prize yourself, I'd say you shouldn't complain. Nobody's perfect, you'll just have to accept it. Your not going to find an in shape do it yourself man because the world has turned to computers...I suggest you stop complaining and try to find someone who will just treat you nice, because on the bottom line, finding a hottie with a great personality is just as hard as these guys trying to find hottie who will appreciate the kind things they have to offer.

Zach----> not gonna find any nice girls in California...

I'm almost 24, fed up with the games, and just want to be with someone who appreciates me, thats all :)
