Dating sucks....

[Roland99]

that is all.

[unsavedtrash]

1. I'm afraid to get out there again.

Been a long time.

[raccoon]

10. You and me both. nt

[Critters2]

2. Does it? I don't really remember. nt

[RushIsRot]

3. WHY would anyone date socks? Oh, never mind.

[Connonym]

4. yes, it does

:hug:

[Maraya1969]

5. If feels like you are going on job interviews.

[Roland99]

11. Well, like getting the job offer only to have the company go out of business a month later.

[Callalily]

6. Indeed it does!

[DarkTirade]

7. Aye, that it does.

Which is why I rarely bother with it.

[Deja Q]

8. I gave up some time ago.

Everyone has their unique issues. Few want to try to work with each other. And having asked previous dates what I can do to improve the relationship, I don't think I'm entirely out of line when I say "At least I tried".

[liberaldemocrat7]

41. Well with men they can improve with plastic surgery and a bank job. LOL

hehe.

[Deja Q]

50. Quite. But if that's all people want...

[liberaldemocrat7]

54. No, that's not all people want, however if you don't have a pair of jacks in a jacks or better game

you have to fold.

You have heard of the term necessary but not sufficient.

In many cases women will not even consider a man if he doesn't have male model looks and a decent bankroll. Many but not all cases.

How many times have I heard, "Oh but I want a man who cares, and listens to me, and shares common interests, blablablablablah"


Left unsaid though appears the wish for male model looks and a big bankroll. I'm even talking about Liberal women in this too.


I found my girlfriend on the net in a video chatting community, so she and I saw each other right away, and we chatted and hit it off. We're together for over 3 and a half years. Yes, she's a liberal, a Canadian Liberal.

Yes, as she, A Canadian, she's not the typical American woman who I had trouble getting into a relationship with for years. As I have said before even Liberal oriented American women can act just as demanding as the conservative women when it comes to accepting a man for a relationship.

Yes, liberal women do show compassion in their lives, at work if they work as a nurse, or in another caring profession, or when liberal women do volunteer work at a homeless shelter, or soup kitchen, or for a political candidate who expresses their sincere wish to help the poor.

It just appears these women don't want a relationship with the people they care about professionally or in their volunteer work.

I used to call these women "Bedroom Republicans" :) because it took a man of means and looks to get into their bedroom.

[wildhorses]

9. yep. 'nuff said.

:patriot:

[bikebloke]

12. Gave it up.

I keep a couple profiles up at a couple meet'n greet sites. That way I'm still in the game, but not wasting my time dating. I can do other things.

[LSK]

13. Boycott it.

[Taverner]

14. It does, but remember the 1% rule

Out there, there are 1% of the population who will sleep with you under pretty much any conditions.

I lived by this when I was single.

[HEyHEY]

24. I am that one per cent

And have been exercising the rule quite well the last six months

[Nikia]

31. If I were single, I don't think that would comfort me

For me, I think that number is more like 10% and I only find about 10% of guys attractive enough for me to want to sleep with. For the most part, those 10% are not the same at all.

[KG]

15. no, it doesn't.

since i've jumped back in, i've had alot of laughs and some hot sex. :headbang:

relationships - well, now that's another story.

[eyepaddle]

16. I'm with you

And my past f'ed up relationships make me suspicious of my new one--and I honestly think she's the best of the lot by far, but through no fault of her's I'm pretty skittish about the whole concept now.

Ain't that a drag?

[Roon]

17. Yes, it does

That is why I am content to stay single.

[redqueen]

18. I refuse to do it.

x(

[HEyHEY]

25. You shouldn't have to

Guys should be lining up so you can pick the best one and what not. But, sadly, my sex is full of assbags that wouldn't know how lucky they were if they got their mits on ya. Sorry.

[Dr Fate]

19. Dating would be FUN if were not for the damn games.

I have not had to do it in years- so I feel for ya...

[candycom]

20. Yes!

Yes,

I have to say that when I was single I absolutely hated dating! It always felt more like a freakin job interview. Lets face it, nobody is really themselves on a first date! My guy came when I least expected him and we were actually really good friends for like two years before we starting dating. Even then, dating wasnt so bad because we already knew what each other liked and everything. OH! Here is a good piece of advice. Dont date anyone that doesnt have a sence of humor! Laughing is the best thing ever for ..........well, for everything! A little tid bit for ya! Good luck to ya though.:hi:

[Roland99]

26. Welcome to DU!!

:hi:

[BreweryYardRat]

21. Amen.

Rrr...

[candycom]

35. LOL

Thanks!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. Yep.

[HEyHEY]

23. Talk to me roland

What's the bitch's name?

[Roland99]

27. Oh, it's been a few over the last few years.

I've had a ton of first dates. I feel like Adam Sandler but it's not with the same girl every time ;)

Had one tell me "I think you are the one" and then we went a month where I didn't hear a peep from her. No returned phone calls, no returned txt msgs, no returned emails. I was like....ooookkkaaaaayyyy. Then out of the blue a month later she calls and expects things to pick up where they left off.

Sorry...I don't play fallback guy.

[HEyHEY]

29. No, but you can turn that around

Suck it up and be the fallback guy... but just to dip the wick a few times. Invest nothing emotional in it.

[JVS]

36. Don't forget to kick her ass to the kerb/curb

[HEyHEY]

49. After she "Claims" she's missed her period

[candycom]

51. Who does that?

Gals like that make us look bad. She is just misunderstood........ right? ;-)

[Roland99]

52. How did you know her name? Ms. Und Erstood.

;)

[candycom]

53. LOL

I knew it had to be her! Dumb Broad!

[TZ]

28. Yep

I haven't been on a real date in several years because of it. Pretty much given up in that department really.

[Blue_Tires]

30. yes...

yes it does

[Nikia]

32. I'm glad that I haven't been dating

I picked up my husband at a party ten years ago and haven't had to worry about that since. It is a good thing because there aren't very many good guys in this town.

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

33. I wouldn't know..

I haven't been asked out in over a year :-( , but then again, I haven't really been trying either. Oh well, I guess I'm ok being alllllll alone.

[Fire Walk With Me]

34. Hmmm. Business opportunity with a positive side: DUSingles.com...

;)

Me too. No dating, no thanks.

40. I'm really not the one speaking of it!

Look at this thread...it got pretty fucked up!!! And I can't see why?

[jpgray]

43. Dating rules! It's how I found all the neat people I've had relationships with

[Jamastiene]

44. Not dating sucks too.

At least when you are dating, you have a chance. If you are not dating, it's you and the pillow and that's it unless you have a nice repertoire of toys, which I don't. :(

[TK421]

46. How much faith are you putting between yourself and a frigging pillow?

Have more faith in YOURSELF and you will get through life easily....I've done so

[Jamastiene]

47. K, I'll try that, but my pillow IS

always there for me. :P
