    I'm trying to figure out the percentage of married people baring their wounded souls on this thread vs. the percentage of unmarrieds.

    Well from my observations..I think its singles wounded by married folk

    I hadn't considered that angle but you may just be very right about that. Trifles we are, they see as mere playthings.

    I notice that a couple of people mention the issue of money - so I have a question: If you are dating someone, do you think the woman should pay sometimes? Men - are you offended if she volunteers to pay her half? Women - what do you think about this?
    I'm very independent, and before I retired, I had a very good salary. So I have always believed that it was only fair for me to pick up a tab or two and was always surprised when some women said this would offend them.

    If I invite you, I pay. Man, Woman, or confused.

    Wait a *kitren* minute... :|

    *logs in to bank before responding*

    For a first date I'll let the guy pay if I like him. If I am not interested I'll insist on paying for my own.

    but that guy had SOOOOOO much more money than you

    When he sends you a selfie and bath and body works hand soap is in the picture along with some pink hand towels but he claims he single.

    Listen lady, that B&BW lotion, body wash, hand soap and body spray are ALL mine! My wife HATES Warm Vanilla Sugar even more than the seasonal vanillas. I mean it’s like she’s from another world!

    Actually for gifts I've given my brothers B&BW hand soap...however...I dont coordinate their hand towels.

    I knew there was a reason I adored you.

    Pear scented?

    Red flags about me:

    High strung personality. I also like to be in control. I'm a man. Sue me.

    Don't know if I want to get married or not. I like to have options at least currently.

    Pretty sure I don't want kids. I love kids don't get me wrong I love my nieces and nephew and would give them the world if I could but I am so happy when they go home lol. Also, I think I'd be a terrible dad especially if they get into trouble I'd turn into Ron Burgundy and tell them I'm not even mad, I'm quite impressed and proceed to tell them the stupid *kitten* I did as a kid rather than discipline them.

    I like to get to know people and my personality can come acrosed as flirty so some. I'm just a a fun nice witty guy. If you can't stand me making a nice conversation with the waitress and you portray it as I want to get in her pants it won't work. Thats just me and I am not going to change.

    I'm an extrovert and an introvert. I'm usually the life of the party but I need to be alone to recharge and some times I won't want to talk to anyone could be hours or days and just be in my own thoughts.

    Red flags I look for:

    Texts constantly and never calls or never picks up when I call. Or texts me while I'm at work expecting the conversation to continue all day. I have a very demanding job, I don't have time to make small talk with you. I will make time after work for you.

    Wish washy. I want a woman who knows what she wants and has goals and is driven by those goals.

    Dependant personality. I can't stand it, I am not going to hold your hand through everything. I love independent women.but not the type that are way too good for me to hold the door open. *kitten* I hold the door open for the old, young, male or female. Its just called being nice.

    Doesn't ever do things without me. I have my own friends, I expect you to have your own friends and do things with them.

    My dinner table conversation is pretty weak. Lots of tuning out with some Mmm's and Hmm's thrown in.
