Keep trying and never give up. There's someone for everyone , it's amazing what we can overlook and tolerate when there's a love interest , physical defects , handicaps, or whatever , those things just contribute to making us the unique individuals that we are .

I guess my answer would be that it depends on the woman. A woman with a truly beautiful mind and personality has more than enough endowments for me and I'd be drawn to that.

I'm a bit on the short side and have a baby face. There are a LOT of women who wouldn't give me the time of day and some who have little tact in saying so. I'm just background noise to them. They obviously don't have such beautiful personalities, so it wouldn't matter to me if they had Playboy dimensions. I know they'd only be with me long enough for me to fix their computer, and then I'd be roadkill.

But to each their own. And we each have our own gifts to use or misuse, because at the end of the day, it all comes down to our conduct, not our luck of the draw or lack thereof.

If you really want instructive answers, ask the women if they'd date a guy who had gynecomastia. Over the course of several years of being on here, I've seen several threads started by women making fun of this condition.

One of the tenets of Zen Buddhism is to not misuse one's sexuality. I believe there's a lot of wisdom in that.

Kerry, I have no idea what 'gynecomastia' is, but think that any person who judges another because of any condition has issues to deal with themselves. The actual point of this thread was to help people think about how we all, in some way or another, judge others.
I know that certain times that I start to fall into that sort of thinking again, then have to sit myself down and think it all the way through on why I was being so insecure or 'threatened' by anothers appearance, or even thought processes by what they have said to others here or in life. Every one has a rough time in life, we all are given these things that, actually are gifts to awakening of some sort- when we take the time to really examine whats going on within, and how to grow from the experience.
I just wanted to give a little wake up call to the ones who have the top ten list of who'd they date or even consider because 9 out of ten times...it's got nothing to do with who a person really is. My apologies for using my learning experience to challenge others, or maybe I shouldn't apologize....alas...no one has had the courage to really respond on why it is so fearful to them.
Is it the cancer thing- relax- if it comes- you're still the same person, and just may die a little earlier than you planned..
Is it your fear of dying- again- it's gonna come- better to make peace with it now in discussion and think about it.
Is it because- you just simply have no time any more to delve into your life and mortality?
I just simply cannot beleive it is because a woman with no breasts isn't your thing?

i've dated women with no breasts in the past, and everything was just as fulfilling as women with breasts to me. they got emotional when i'd kiss them where their scars were, and said they were beautiful, and i thought they were.......they are badges of survival, strength, and life. i cherish that.....:heart:

I read this whole thread due to I was curious of what some of the answers would be? But.....found out that there were answers from many different views.

Regardless if it is breast or not guess at times we must ask ourselves to be totally honest would we date a man if he was lacking certain parts what if he had a mastectomy as well. For those that do not realize it 26% of men have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

But to get back to your answer Shasta I'm sure for many men as well as women it would be hard to say what they would decide until they were faced with those issues face to face.

We can all say it would not be a problem but then if it came to pass might be a total turn off for some.

Hell not even sure I could be as strong as many women I have seen go through it as they have. One never knows for sure how they would really react till they were faced with the situation.

I would hope that most would not be so superficial when it came to loving someone and the only thing that stood in the way was imperfection. But............it does happen to many everyday in different aspects of life.

I do admire anyone that can open up as you have in reality we need more men and women that will be open. In order for more to understand and be able to ask the questions they have always wondered about but never asked.....

Great thread.....:thumbsup:

Yeahbut, I myself had a near-death experience and had a sword hanging by a thread over my life for a lot of years. I don't know if I'd call it a gift (and that's just MY opinion about MY experience, so before anyone criticizes me like last time I brought it up in a thread, take a chill pill.)I will say (again, just MY opinion) that it changed _me_ in ways I hadn't considered before. I marvel more than ever at:

"And therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls-- it tolls for thee."

But I still think dating is a brutal game. It gets too close to survival of the fittest to NOT break some hearts and damage some beautiful things along the way. Like a bull in shop full of beautiful things. And I'd rather not have that bull in my life.

Not a breast guy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love them, but I really like the small ones. Always have, all my friends give me crap, but it does not bother me.
