Now we get to see Freud pop in for a visit with a big book and some round spectacles... sits down and rests a leg over the other.

'So.... about your mother...' :lol:

Speaking for myself, I would MUCH rather date a considerate guy: even guys that are extremely self confident and have a life seem arrogant to me! Besides, if a guy is all down and depressed then I get to be the 'normal' one! A tad masochistic, but seriously... I don't like it when guys are arrogant...

Now, we see Freud get up from his chair and remove his glasses.

'Grandmother?! I can't help you there...'
:D

Yeah, I got a lot of that before I met my current GF.

Sheesh, just because I don't want sex NOW doesn't mean I don't want sex ever. Just because I control my horemones doesn't mean I don't have them. I just have a lot of things higher priority than some genetically engrained desire from the anciant times when humans actually had to be in a rush to reproduce.

Although my religion does not condone sex before marraige, that is not my reason. There is a lot more to building a relationship than sex. In fact, the way things are with my GF right now, sex would only get in the way. She also has trouble explaining this too people. In fact, her social worker kept thinking she was lying about not being sexually active with me, considering how emotionally intimate we are. I would have to say one of the most intimate times we had, was having a conversation in a canoe while being 4 feet away from each other.

You wouldn't beleive the trouble I have explaining the same thing whenever anyone asks me "do you have any sexual problems" or any such questions. People just can't understand that there could be a reason for not being sexually active other than not having someone, or religious dedication.

I don't even like Alpha males. I always fall for shy/gentle/loner sorts usually. The only one who was externally confident turned out to be an a**hole. I do like men who present an intellectual challenge, though.

When I see the very confident kinds, it makes me very tempted to take them down a peg and prove their ignorance or stupidity....I don't know why, but that is my reaction.

On the other hand, a man can know what he is capable of and be decent, honest, and worth being around without being dominant...because I don't much like the dominant kinds. I always wind up being dominated, and I hate that.


Too bad I'm taken :roll: You're probably not in my area anyways. :P

I'm not a hit with the ladies, and right now, they can have all of the cocky argonet guys they want. In a few years they'll be looking for someone like me, who's caring and loyal (not pussywhipped loyal, I'd NEVER go that low). They'll realize they've wasted their time on the a**holes. ;)

I once fell for a chick of lower social and economic class, but the sad truth is, she was very content living in poverty and didn't want to get out. A shame. If she was willing to get out of poverty and worked at it, I would have helped her.

I remember my prom date and I where out in the country before prom, and I happened to drive by her house, and here she was out with her father with a broken badmitton table.

Interesting, while reading through all these posting on this thread I noticed something, even though most all the Lady's said they did not like or want for the most part,- the jerks and like, they still dated them to find these things out, where little is said about them dating the nerds and wimpy ones. keeping this in mind, wouldn't it be better to portray the one kind of male to at least get a date and a foot in the door then to not get anywhere at all? half the battle it seems to me is getting the girl to pay enough attention to you long enough for the girls to get to know who you are.

Airbikecop: You're a tad scary! I have a lot of respect for someone who is content living within their budget. Mother Theresa was also content to live in poverty, and no one thinks any the less of her. I don't see what is so wrong with the broken badminton table either: sounds like she was having some fun with her dad. I would much rather play on a broken badminton table with my dad than be brushed aside because he is too busy working his butt off making money! However, I must admit that all this depends on your definition of poverty. If poverty is living simply and not extravagantly, then there is a lot to be said for substituting violent tv programs for sporting games. If your definition of poverty is living on the street, in boxes or in rubbish dumps, with nothing to eat but what you find in the rubbish or fried rats, then I say damn straight mister, poverty sucks! Just a pity that over two thirds of the world is living in it... Something tells me your crush wasn't living in poverty at all...

most 'poor' people in the united states have it better than any other 'poor' people... especially when the primary problem they face is obesity... quite shocking really

If you were poor due to circumstances beyond you're control you would see just how "easy" they have it. Also funnily enough fattening food seems to be cheeper and more easily obtained in the west so that is one of the reasons that obesity is a problem among the poor. Another is disability, both physical and mental ones like agoraphobia and not having the funds to join the gym. Another is some of them have had a hard life growing up in poor areas that are uninviting to walk about in and maybe food is a way of survival for them.

Poor people in the USA have it good according to you but ask yourself why the USA is the richest country on earth yet has a shockingly high level of people below the poverty line (10% at last check) yet a country like Norway that has no obvious class system to drag people down has 0% of people living below that line. Those statistics are from an american organization (the cia) so i doubt they are biased against the US. If poor people had it so good then they would'nt be poor.
