    Would be the same as a man saying all single women just want a guy to take care of their financial wants.

    so this is a no no?

    Don't worry, it is not only your London men that are that way. It is the ones here in the U.S. too.

    Let's say it's true. Men are only after one thing.

    I don't think that's the problem. The root cause is that nobody really wants to talk about what they want--in part because talking about it might result in not getting it.

    If men do want only one thing, and they're honest about it....well....

    If men do want only one thing, and they're willing to hide that fact or be dishonest about it, then ya, that's annoying.

    OP let me ask you something...

    Are women after only one thing? (the bank account and social status men can give them)

    Probably not. Gross generalizations are just that. Gross generalizations.

    You are a smart man.

    Agreed.

    And age has a lot to do with how they are going to balance what their d*** wants with what THEY want. LOL. Also, personalities are all different... just cause some guys want a lot of sex doesn't mean they're all gonna go get it. And conversely, not all outgoing men are all about the sex. They're all wrapped differently, just like women.

    Yes, but we can't help it - it's in our nature

    Exactly. Don't sleep with a guy for at least 10 dates...if he sticks around without getting "paid', you know he must actually enjoy your company.

    gettin paid? so this thread is about prostitiutes? I'm soooo lost now!!

    ...and in all seriousness, a guy can totally be looking for something long term and, believe or not, STILL want to nail you on the first date.
    My husband is a prime example of that...

    Not necessarily, but we may want it sooner than you do. It's just how we're made unfortunately :P
    I don't get that. Why is it unfortunately?

    Frankly I am proud of being a guy...having a healthy sex drive...and everything else being a guy entails.

    I don't think it's a problem myself, hence the smiley, but women just don't understand - bless their little cotton socks.

    I agree with this.

    Also, and this should be taken as a compliment, I looked at your pictures...you're going to have plenty of guys to wade through...

    No. Obviously some are, but a lot aren't. If they were all after just one thing, I don't see how many people would get married, there are enough girls out there who either don't want serious romance or are just willing to do what they think it takes to get a guy that there would be no reason for it at this point, and yet guys get married.

    Ultimately if a guy doesn't really like someone, there's a greater chance they'll still go after that one thing, and if a girl doesn't really like someone, there's a greater chance she'll avoid it with that person. I think that's where the difference is. If you think a guy is just after one thing, well, don't give it and see how he reacts; if he doesn't really like you, he probably won't stick around. If he does, he will. The problem that people run into, I think, is sleeping with people to try to get them to like them, or keep them around until they're in a relationship. That doesn't really work, and I think that's where the "guys just want one thing" comes from.

    So after chatting to the single girls in the office today, it appears that all the single blokes out there are only after one thing!! After being with my ex-husband for 10 years, I am now terrified I'm going to have to wade through all this crap to find a decent bloke! Now, is this a London thing or are blokes like this everywhere?? Any tips for getting through this as painless as possible, without feeling like a loser when you realise you and him are after very different things?!?!

    You will have to wade through to find a decent one. However, we are NOT all the same.

    can i just comment on what an outdated view of the sexes this thread shows.

    SOME Women want sex as much or more than SOME men. FACT.

    SOME women aren't looking for money or social status (really? thats a THING?) we are MORE than capable of achieving these things on our own, and in some cases (shock horror) its the woman who is the chief breadwinner.

    Christ.
