Poor Self Esteem, Chasing After Hotties/Players
My friends and I were talking about a guy friend who will only date perfect 10 really young girls. Someone said that was evidence of his low self-esteem; that he buys the attention of these girls to feel better about himself. I never thought about it as “low self esteem.” I actually thought he just knew his high value…

What Do I Do About the Birthday?
I've recently started seeing a new guy. We've been on two dates, with a third coming this weekend. It's going well and I really like him. His birthday is next week. I hate it when traditional gift giving stuff comes so early on in a relationship! I know I need to acknowledge it, but how? Can you help me think of an…

Walmart... Just for fun.
If you could buy 3 things at Walmart that's freak out the cashier, what would it be? No condoms or lube allowed. Mine would be skimpiest lingerie, biggest mirror they and copy of Divinyls CD with song "I Touch Myself". My friend said a large cucumber, bucket of lard and a Justin Bieber poster. LOL

when it rains, it pours
I know we've touched on this before in various threads, but why do you think in dating you either have zero prospects or a ton at the same time?

Where I'm At
I just want to say that this site has been instrumental in helping me stay in the game and focused on my goal. I have failed at weight loss many times, and while it is happening slowly now, at least it is happening period. I wanted to share progress pics but I did not want to post in the main forums again until I hit my…

Texting / Cell Phone etiquette
Am I just old school . . or maybe damaged by experience? What is the proper etiquette for texting when you are with your SO or even just on a date? Am I wrong to get my dander up when the girl is sitting in the passenger seat on the way to the restaurant texting away with some undisclosed recipient? It just seems rude to…

Am I just that bad or what?
I pretty much get 0 responses on match.com and on pof.com. Is something wrong with how I look or my profiles? Opinions: http://www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=35289218 http://www.match.com/profile/Show?UID=hi4T/xkanG2GpU+dwR/wQQ==&Handle=arguy1984

Entrapment with fake online profiles
Stumbled across a blog post on why we should cool it with the cyberstalking of our dates. What really caught my eye was a comment in which one guy tells the story about creating a fake profile to entrap his ex girlfriend. A lot of people jumped on him as a total jerk. I actually didn't think it was a jerky thing to do...…

low self esteem day
I agreed to meet a fellow that I've been talking to on POF, but I'm really nervous because all my pictures on there are above the waist .... one of my biggest fears of being single is that my dates will be completely turned off in person, even if the communication is going great via electronic technology. Anybody else have…

What are your chances?
A woman I know posted a question on Facebook for her single friends. What do think is the percentage chance you'll get married. Her response was 10%. She figured when she first divorced she would marry fairly soon because she feared being single but over time she is becoming more comfortable being on her own and having her…

We agreed to be friends.
I have been dating this guy for about a month now, and we agreed the other day that there was no spark. So we decided to be friends. Well, I stayed the night at his house Saturday, we had been drinking and he lived closer to the bar than I did. We messed around, and he wouldn't let me reciprocate the things he was doing to…

"If he didn't like me before.." Mentality.
"If he didn't like me before when I was overweight, why should I give him the time of day now?" I see this quote thrown around every so often on this board. What's everyones thoughts on it? I also see the following quote by Marilyn Monroe used every so often by women I hang out with "If you can't handle a girl at her…

What's your favorite song right now?
Completely random but I'm supposed to be studying for 2 exams tomorrow and I'm distracted. My fav song is Grouplove's "tongue-tied". It's been my fav song now for months since I first heard it in Austin. If there's a melody that could describe my personality, that'd be it... Bubbly, bouncy and hyper!!!! If you've never…

Awkward
How do you politely tell someone you're not into them after a few dates? Poofing seems rude once you've met face to face a few times, but geez getting those words out can be awkward! I've mastered the one date and never see each another again thing, but a handful of dates in, this is territory I haven't been in for a…

Help... cultural differences?
I so hope this question comes across as genuinely as I mean it and not as disrespectful. I've thought about it all day and decided to just ask... I've only dated someone of a different race once, a Hispanic guy I used to work with. I feel like I haven't been as open to that possibility because I just don't naturally feel…

Handling Disappointment
Last week when I found out that one of my deployment shots (anthrax vaccine) had ruined vision in my left eye permanently. The eye doctor is great and working with me to overcome this but I was really disappointed. I took time off to mope around the house and reached out to Mr. Beardburn, who lives an hour away. We decided…

So last night I was out with 3 guys. Guy #1: A good friend of mine. Has been in a relationship with a woman for over 2 years. Guy #2: A good acquaintance/second tier friend. I like him. He is good friends with Guy #1 and another good friend of mine who was not present last night. Guy #3: Knows Guy #1 Guy #3 is a newlywed,…

Why is she getting LESS male attention than at 300+ lbs??
UsedToBeHusky posed this question in another thread. I sent her some thoughts, but I’m not a guy so I’m pulling this into its own thread. Men… what say you? Even though you probably don’t know her in person, what comes to mind when you hear the question? Why would she get less attention now??

Big Step...
I took a huge step out of my dating comfort zone last week and thought I would share. I attended a seminar in DC for work. One of the presenters was an attractive guy who I had a quick chat with before his presentation. He seemed very nice. So I jotted his email address down in my notebook. All the way home I…

The Family Reaction
This is a relevant offshoot of the Meeting the Parents discussion as often times, meeting the parents is a sign of a serious relationship. My main question is this: How would your family react to you getting married? There would be probably be a difference if you were previously married. For never married before…

Attracted to his Spirit but not his body : (
I have been thinking about a friend of mine who I realize is the closest to my ideal romantic partner - intelligent, kind, compassionate, trustworthy, reliable, affectionate... He is one of those Beautiful People imprisoned in layers and layers of fat, though. He is one of those people about whom others would say :you have…

First date ideas/free or little cost suggestions.
What are some first date ideas that cost no or little money? I've suggested hiking to some but I think hiking can be a little weird at first. I've suggested going on social jogs by the beach or somewhere scenic and slightly crowded. Any ideas? Jarnard

JJ the Man-Hater
This has been a very awkward weekend for me. I gathered a group of friends to go to Beardburn's high school football game. Finally get to see him large and in charge :laugh: Well, then I find out his parents are coming. What??? Why would this guy have his parents detour from their trip to meet me??? THEN.... I get there…

Puppy love is a must
So since I've brought up my sister a few times today I decided to seek your guys opinion on something some of my friends and I have been mulling over. "Puppy love is what makes us ready to have a real relationship" Puppy love or that first love you have. You know the one. That first BF/GF you had in high school. the one…

Gender bias and singledom
Despite the threads here and there about "why I love men" or "why I love women" there has been a theme in much of the recent posts about what's wrong with the opposite gender. It has mean wondering if there is a direction of causality between a cynical attitude of the opposite sex and not having much luck on the dating…

Being Single with Married Friends
I always listen to this morning show and they had a list today of what sucks about being single with married friends. Here we go! 1. Trips always involve couples-heaven forbid a girls trip-the night ends with drunk couples making out/hooking up and you're left alone on the couch or cot because couples get the beds. 2.…
