I'll admit straight off that I have only read about 2/3 of the thread, hopefully I'm not duplicating anything.

Just be careful of the "real men". There seems to be a predisposition towards revenge in this type of person, a tendency to make something a personal vendetta. This looks good, and plays out nicely in film, but can often be self-destructive in real life. I don't mean that everything should be allowed to go by ignored, but there needs to be a good bit of discresion used.

Okay, I'm finally got to post on-topic. I was mulling over the definition presented by you,Polgara, and there a just a couple of things that strike me:

guys who can do everything.
What does that entail? Is it requiste that a guy be a handyman as well as a musician as well as Emeril in the kitchen?

The one's who say what they mean and do what they say.
This a where a trust is developed and very important. There are plenty of guys like that, which isn't meant to be patronizing as all. In fact, seeing as you said that you're in your mid-twenties, I'd say that you have plenty of time in your life to find someone. It is far better than making the mistake of giving your heart to someone who does not deserve it.

The one's who are in great shape because they actually do stuff.
This is a preference thing, obviously. It depends on your idea of in shape, but again, we (guys) are available in many different models and styles. ;)

The one's who are honest who when he gives his word he'd bankrupt himself before he broke it.
I have to disagree with you on this part way. If you've been in a relationship a while, okay, but if it's only been a couple of months, then literally bankrupting themselves is a bit unreasonable. This isn't to say that they have an excuse to lie. Absolutely not. Dishonesty doesn't build any trust. IMHO, you should be lying in the first place.

The real man who wants more than anything to be a great husband and father.
That's something that is more a question of goals. Some guys have no ambition to be fathers. Whatever. Just don't date them. It's there loss and there are plenty that do have that in future agenda.

The best advice I could give is to keep looking. Serendipity will smile on you and you'll find someone.

Sounds more like a baskett case. Anybody who has tried to make a bad marriage last knows how that is (man or women).

Unfortunately, he's getting used to being a basket case. He used to be horrible -i.e. feeling like poop, not wanting to do anything, not really talk, pissed, etc. Each time it happens, he's a little bit less hurt, but he shouldn't have to be there in the first place. Hope you're happy, Sarah. :| He loves you.

Ten second summation:

She's an outgoing person who wants to see and experience the world. He's an introvert who's happy to watch DVDs of the world at home. Who wants to do the math?

P.S. She's probably going to end up with someone experienced for her first time.

Implying that if one is NOT committed to God, there's something wrong with him? No offense to you, or your beliefs, but I call bullsh!t on that. I believe in no organized religion, and I would still consider myself a man of principle and morals, as well as one who is commited to my family. One does not preclude the other. I've known plenty of "religious" people who have been the biggest jerks in the world.


Hi. :)

Before you get all worked up into a storm about misinterpreted notions and statements, you should remember the fallacy of denying the antecedent disallows you from making the assertion that a natural inference can be drawn from something being therefore a consequence to something not being, therefore a negation of the consequence.

In other words, if there is something wrong with him, then he is not committed to God. Not, "if one is not committed to God, there is something wrong with him". There's a big logical difference and I think you're taking what Sarah (theblondeone) has said in a wrong way. :)

As for this thread: come on people, there's no real warrant for personal bashing. Play nice. That means you Mike. ;) HeHe

Cheers ! :)

Well, since I introduced the two, and had both of them for best friends, and knew them both very very well, I would say that I can kinda figure out what she's saying.

You know NIK, the line between the Real World and this Circus isn't that fine. Try to realize that the next time you bring up peoples personal lives.

There is no perfect man, nor a perfect woman, there are only perfect couples.

I wouldn't look for one on the internet. While many AT members have good intentions, I can't say the same for the rest of the internet community (IRC is bad). If the bar scene isn't for you, try meeting them through friends. Join non-gender-specific clubs that suit your personal interests. There's a guy out there for you, you just have to find him and make yourself easier to find as well.

I don't think I'm taking it in the wrong way. She said, quite clearly, that every girl needs a man commited to his God. Implicitly, that NO girl should have a man not commited to his God. And that, in my opinion is unfair. Whether it's what she mean or not is up to her, as she's the one who made the statement. But what was written implied that.

P.S.- I was hardly "worked up into a storm". Oh, and nice use of 50 cent words to bedazzle and obfuscate.

if you ever read any of linuxboy's posts, you will know that he doesn't use those words to "bedazzle and obfuscate". he uses them because they are in his normal vocabulary. he ALWAYS writes like that.

Oh, I've read a few of his posts, and I've been accused in the past of trying to sound "smart", but that first paragraph seemed a bit much.
