Then you, sir, are a hidden gem in the dating world. Women can teach a guy some confidence - as long as you're ok one on one with her.
If you can pass my sister test you're gold.
My sister at a bar. Guy walks up to her,
Guy: I would offer to buy you a drink but I see you have one already.
Sister: That's ok, you can reimburse me.
Guy: Hahaha
Sister: No, I'm serious.
Guy walks away cuz he has nothing.
If you can come out swinging at that, you're good to go.
That sounds like the beginning of a negotiation..... Does the barter system apply. What if he offers to reimburse in live chickens....?0 -
You CANNOT make women happy, No_Finish. Case closed.
amen to that
Actually this is true. A woman must make herself happy. Relying on others for happiness is not the way to go about it.
This is extremely accurate.....0 -

Back in the day, I dated a guy with a 6-pack; he was good-looking, but I just wasn't as attracted to him. I ended up marrying the guy with the love handles, which is now a belly. I do worry about his health, but we live in New England, heating oil is expensive, and I have to admit, the guy with the belly is kind of cuddly and warm. Also, I feel that he will always be satisfied with my body, even if it isn't perfect because he isn't perfect, either. My husband also always had a great sense of humor, which the other guy lacked. We've been together 30+ years -- and have gone through better and worse in terms of health, family issues, etc.
Attraction is almost impossible to explain and defies mere physical characteristics. I have found that when I was in situations where people didn't know me or that I was married, the males who were attracted to me were a similar type to my husband. I had been in a social situation several times with someone I was attracted to and couldn't understand why -- then I looked at an old picture of my husband and I -- the guy looked almost like my husband in his younger days. It does make one wonder whether some folks are destined to be with a certain kind of partner.0 -

first awful approach to someone who already has a drink. What are you trying to say about your sister?
My sister is amazingly awesome and hilarious.
That is what I'm saying.
The 'test' as I'm calling it, is not so much about the approach, but if you someone shoots your first attempt down, do you engage or give up? Can you pick yourself up and have fun with it?
For example, if he said - "shoot, I only have credit cards, but I have a taco bell gift card in my wallet I can give you."
Sold. He just created an opening an opportunity to determine compatibility over a drink.

Ohnoes that leaves only 1.25 billion women in the possible dating pool. What ever will these poor 6-pack men do?http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/26446041/women-prefer-men-with-big-belliesA new study says women prefer men with big bellies.
Three out of four women say they'd rather have a man with love handles than a six pack. Almost 100 percent of the women surveyed said men with beer bellies have better personalities than those with a good body.
They also say guys in shape prioritize the gym over spending quality time with their significant others.
The British survey was carried out to mark the DVD release of the film "Bad Neighbors", which pits buff college boy Zac Efron against family man, Seth Rogan.

well, I don't have one yet. How bout you buy ME one, then the next round is on me?
Kidding, but I'm curious how this would play out.
Borderline arrogant response depending on delivery.
If it was my sister? She'd have another right there for you that would require another witty response. You have to be willing to engage in conversation.
My sisters are tough. Beautiful, smart, witty and taken - if you can engage with them you need confidence in spades. Which is what I was trying to drive at.0 -
I have dated all different kinds of body types from six pack ab guy to beer belly man. I prefer a belly over six pack any day. And since I have some body issues myself I'm sure deep down that may be a slight reason for my preference. I'm super attracted to my bf I have now and he has a huge belly but has power lifter arms and is very active. If I could get him to stop drinking beer and eating crap I might be able to help him get healthier but I LOVE the belly!0

It's a woman's confidence thing, definitely.
I've been attracted to all forms of male. Never bothers me one way or another. Fit and unfit, men are each very different. My choice of men has nothing to do with six-pack or no.0 -
Generalizations.
Breast size is not important as long as she has a great sense of humor.0 -

No. That is not the test.
That is someone calling you out on a bad line and seeing if you're willing to engage in wits and really want a conversation. It is giving the guy an opening to show you're compatible - which is the point.
If the guy was just trying a line and doesn't want to engage. He walks away. Fail.
If he tries to engage wits? Opening. Potential win.
If he replies with honesty: 'I'm sorry about that line - I was just trying to find a way to approach you. Can I get the next round?' Win.

Although offering to buy a girl a drink may be a weak approach I don't think it really falls under the "line" category.Then you, sir, are a hidden gem in the dating world. Women can teach a guy some confidence - as long as you're ok one on one with her.

persistance definetly not a plus in this arena lol.0

Even if that were true, a 6-pack is not necessary for a strong core.
oh really, what part of your body would it strengthen then?
doesn't matter anyway. The abs pull the pelvis an inch or two closer to the sterum... a motion some men use during sex lol
Please read my post again, as you seem to have misread it. I did not say that men with 6-packs do not have a strong core.0 -
Why don't women buy the guy a drink? :huh: :huh:
I concur w/ N_F_L
Persistence in this arena is total B.S.0 -

My sisters are tough. Beautiful, smart, witty and taken - if you can engage with them you need confidence in spades. Which is what I was trying to drive at.
that's the point- if you can engage and keep up- you're worth talking to. If you can't- you're not worth it. I"m the same way. I'm not even dating and I still have the same conversations- its just no fun having boring conversations with people.
I wound up at a place once at 3 AM (not my choice but whatever) and I had a scarf on my head (lace thing) and I was preening(I admit) and not drunk- but the guy was wasted.
stumbles up to me and goes
OH- Are you... what's it called.
OH YEAH- Religious- you know- that Muslim thing?
...lol- um- no.
So he presses on- SHOCKED FACE- WAIT.... like ARE YOU IN MOURNING??
I couldn't I couldn't let it go.
Yes.
OMG I"M SO SORRY.
yeah- I had him going for a while.
but yeah- if you can't figure out how to TALK and take a joke- it's over. and over fast.0 -

Someone who can engage a stranger in an enthralling conversation certainly has a lot of 'game'.
It would be wrong to assume that those who do not possess the particular gift are incapable of meaningful and stimulating conversation when they know you better or are otherwise more comfortable.
clearly this plays into the confidence thing though0 -
No. That is not the test.

Yes. Yes there is.
But if you were after friendly, you would learn really quickly that my sisters weren't for you.
And as a note - my sisters have bought guys drinks at a bar. But again, my sisters have confidence in spades - which is what this sidetracked conversation was about.0 -

I always buy first rounds/drinks (I don't drink either- bring on the coffee) and I have had more then one guy get mad at me.0
