I'm trying to figure out a couple of things, maybe some of you ladies are having the same experience. It seems that the men I have the most things in common with are not interested in me. The men who I have little in common with are the ones who want to meet me. I'm surprised how many men on these dating sites have motorcycles and/or goatees. The bad boys want to meet me, what do I have to do to attract nice guys? Do I have to be a homebody in order to find a nice guy?

I don't really see a prob with goatees and bikes but if you'd rather have guys that either want you to support them or their mama's to support them while they drink beer and get smashed all day..you can have the ones I meet..I'm a freakin magnet for those idiots..lol

Who is to say that one of those men sporting a goatee driving a motorcycle is not the nicest man you could ever hope to meet? I have found that I like to be around people that are comfortable in their own skin. The clean shaven, well dressed looked compared to a biker wearing leather and a goatee is just a stereo-type. Thats not an absolute gaurantee of personality.

Take the time to talk to them and get to know them, they might surprise you.

"Nice guys" are usually shy. Try giving them a nudge if you're interested, a nice e-mail saying hello. Let them know you're interested, they maybe interested in you as well, just shy.

I agree with Smiling... Could it be that the guys you're going for aren't your type, you just would like them to be and their type is another type? Kind of like the guys that aren't your type think you're their type... and the wheels on the bus go round and round...


Just curious was there a reason you mentioned you were white in your profile? I mean, I kind thought it was obvious... Again, just curious....

heh. I dress like a biker half the time. I don't have all the tats, but I do wear a leather coat. I don't own a bike. I play golf. And I am a pretty damn good guy.

But you would be amazed at how many times I hear " YOU play GOLF?? " Just because of the goatee and bandana.

Along with the playing golf....people look at me and don't expect me to be into something like Distributed Computing or to be interested in the paranormal. Or to speak clearly and use words with more than 3 syllables on occasion.

Smiling eyes _976,
Yes, it's possible that a man with a motorcycle is nice, I dated some when I was in my twenties, but I had some very close calls with cars. I'm afraid of getting seriously injured, so I guess it would be frustrating for the man since I would be reluctant to ride with him. I have very sensitive skin, that's my reason for not wanting guys with goatees or beards.

I have neither a motorcycle or a gotee.... Does that mean I have a shot ?

Put your preferences in your profile if you don't like what you are attracting now. If you like clean shaven, then say so in your profile. You like tall men, then say so. You'd rather they not wear plaid or resemble Dog the Bounty Hunter, then say so. You don't like motorcycles, say so. You hate the color orange, then say so. Put something. You get about 10,000 characters to put in your profile, use it. If you leave yourself wide open and don't set any boundaries, every guy with internet access will think he is your type. It may not stop all the undesirables, but it will cut down on them.

Same here, I work a lot, so when I get time off, I'm usually too tired to go anywhere. I guess it's a good thing though, if I have too much time on my hands I tend to get in trouble anyway. ohwell

AllenAqua,

Too bad you don't live in San Diego. We could go for a ride on your horse!!

the prob might be that you're looking at the physical and the material rather than the intellectual. what type of guy do you think you're gonna be more prone to spend time with and wanna talk to over the long term? a hot guy, a guy with a nice ride, or a guy who actually has something to talk about and can stimulate your brain?

having things in common is just an icebreaker and nothing more. if your personalities, attitudes, beliefs, etc don't match, then you're wasting your own time on the wrong guys. if you can't communicate openly and freely about ANYTHING with a potential suitor, it'll end up as a superficial, throwaway relationship.
