man or boy?

Respect. Being a carer is a tough demanding job and one that a lot of people couldn't do. It's definitely a responsible adult thing to do.
(My mum was a carer for her elderly parents and and she found it hard work emotionally and physically, and she was twice your age at the time.)

Really? Do a lot of women put that in their profiles? How snotty, lol.



Pretty much just that they want someone who is not suffering from Peter Pan Syndrome, I think. Or, that they have strong personalities and want someone who will stand up to them a little, so they are more evenly matched in a relationship. Or, that they just like to put guys down. There might be clues elsewhere in the profile as to what the deal is, but chances are, you won't find out until you actually get to know them.



It sounds like you'd probably meet most women's "man" criteria. I wouldn't worry too much about having limited relationship experience, since it's better than the other extreme of having a ton of baggage.

Someone who doesn't need mothering.

They want James Bond.

...and will date a hundred men 2-3 times each because none of them can match her lofty ideals.

Some people just want too much and rather than looking in the mirror to analyze the real problem, it's easier to blame the problem on "them". (whoever "they" may be...in this case men she considers "not good enough".)

These would probably be the same people that remain on a dating site for yeeeears trying to find Meestur Bonnnd.

lol So true. To put something so cliche as "I want a man not a boy" you would really want to ask yourself "Do I want someone who can't express their needs and desires better than that?" However, I don't think much of dating sites or meeting potential partners over the internet. I like to really know someone in a working/school/hobby environment before I decide if I want to put myself out there. Then again, I am very weird. lol

They want a hairy man.

For the record that will only work for a man. Women seriously shave.

Women with hair. . .

It can be a pain to take care of her (I do most of the stuff around the house, like clean up, do laundry, drive her everywhere....things like that. Oh and I pay all the utilities, all she has to worry about, though she makes a little more money than me, is half of the rent and the car insurance. Although I can usually work the car insurance into all the other expenses....if I get enough hours at work. ) Really all she does besides work is watch TV and cook lol. But part of that is because of where we live. There is nothing to do here otherwise. I have to help her, even though she basically ruined my life, since there's nobody else in the family that can help her. I originally moved back home after graduating college due to money issues/my dad being sick, and now that he is gone, my mom lost all the benefits she was getting, including his Social Security. So it's either let her die on the street, which I'd feel guilty about, or help her until she can do something else.

Irony is when people find out I live with my mom, they assume I'm just freeloading off her. Like most of the people at work just ridiculed the hell out of me for living with her. When my mom found out, she went off on a couple of them and told them what was REALLY going on, that I'm not just some guy in his mid-20s mooching off his mom and living in the basement watching The Big Bang Theory all day. That I'm actually doing what I'm supposed to do. Even though there is that stigma attached to living with parents after a certain age, I think that is what a man does. A man takes care of himself and others.

hate how women have to be like that, and not just women, life, society, culture, the world, has all of these rules, standards as to how a "Man" is supposed to be

Let me set the thread starter strait. By the definition of any smart women, you are all man. Women love stable, secure guys

always seems to do with behavior apparently

You qualify for 80% of what she means as 'man'.

The other 20% is basically she doesn't want someone immature. Ergo, not someone who needs a woman to pick up his mess, irresponsible and overall just teenager-like in attitude.

Sing this to her. It'll clear up any doubts!
