Is this a nice guy thread?

Maybe, it's a, why do only a$$holes get the gal, thread.

The average person does know that not every single member of the opposite sex does whatever the complained about action is of that topic. They are just venting, and I've probably seen as many topics from men asking why women do ____?

The thing I've noticed there's a lot of "oh whoa is me, why am I single, do I suck that bad" threads. Something tells me there's a connection...

Lex, I think what you are failing to see is that the "why" threads are followed with, (and I kicked his azz out, or he dumped me without a reason) is that what you want?

Do you want to be in a one sided relationship, where you are the winner short term, but end up alone in the long run anyway?

From my experience, it is usually a shock, they SEEM nice, and they SEEM genuine, and when they turn like a rabid dog, that is where the confusiion kicks in.

You can say what you want, or judge (this is a general comment..not meaning YOU persay) I like a no nonesense guy who is upfront and his cuts and bruises are seen in the very begining, at least then you know what you are dealing with. The ones who come off as "perfect" NEVER are. They are just as lonely and pathetic today as they were yesterday. They will be just as alone today as they will be tomorrow...UNLESS they can find a weaker prey and no one wants someone weaker unless you have issues that you are not dealing with.

Personally I want a strong man, who says "here are my issues" then I am going into something with my eyes open...

Just my 3.5 cents worth.

Every day, there are 1633 new "Why do guys....?" threads asking why do guys do this inconsiderate thing, or that thoughtless thing, or this other stupid thing, or this other other insensitive thing, blah blah blah, ad infinitum, world without end, amen.

Which is fine, because people need to vent, and this is a good place to vent, and also because I think it's important to let new people see that this is acceptable policy, etc., here. Got a gripe? Say something, it's OK.

BUT -- here's the thing. Now that I have read over 70,000,000 of these threads, it occurs to me that I don't do ANY of the things that are constantly being complained about.

How is this possible?

I have no idea.

But maybe it explains a few things. Maybe I would do better if I DID leave the toilet seat up, if I DID change plans for no reason without telling anyone, if I DID forget birthdays and holidays, if I DID flirt with random arbitrary women when on a date with someone else, if I DID pull up in front of her house and honk the horn instead of going to the door....

Well, you get the picture.

Because THESE are the things that women NOTICE and COMPLAIN about!

Half the battle is in just getting noticed, and getting attention for SOMETHING, right?

Yeah, it's starting to add up now....

Oh come on after your last thread are you now saying deep down you are a nice guy after all...
Maybe you are to perfect and that is your problem after all. Keep analyzing in another couple of years you will be able to write with great expertise on the dating venue..
thanks for the chuckle today..

Perish the thought!

I've already confessed to being an arrogant narcissistic conceited jerk.

This is just a sort of point/counterpoint thing.

I find the idea of complaining (about complaining) to be strangely compelling....

i find that those very issues that we complain about seem to only take effect after the breakup.

in other words, what is off-putting in a man you dislike can be sometimes be endearing in one you love.

for example, a man who you've begun to despise leaving the toilet seat up is a pig, yet the same one you love doing it is just 'forgetful...sigh'.

Absolutely true, but I'm not trying to get men to notice me. Especially the creepy old guys....oooops, wrong thread, sorry.

I've noticed that, too. Something I read in another thread (a while back,lol) was "The only common denominator in all your failed relationships is you." That phrase comes to mind a lot when I read the "oh woe is me" type of threads. laugh flowerforyou

Oh thank goodness, since I have come to enjoy that satirical wit of yours don't ruin it for me now.laugh


Now on a more serious note, I read those threads and respond to a lot of them, the bottom line when someone is listing all the other person's faults it would behoove them to look in the mirror and clean out their own back yard.

OK, to be totally honest, I don't even know if my toilet seat is up or down right now. I'm not at home and there's no way for me to check. This is a real concern.

Pretty much the same reason that I don't bother with the religion or politics threads if I can help it....No matter how valid the perspective...

People are gonna b*tch and whine no matter what.

Very few people would actually be comfortable with being genuinely happy. Most people are used to having something screwed up going on at any given point in time.
