No doubt going out with such a hunk only heightened those feeling.

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!

That knight in shining armor riding in on a white horse has never been tested in battle. Don't be afraid of that seasoned veteran knight riding a dirty, gray horse and is wearing tarnished and chinked armor. He knows how to fight for you.

say babygirl, you wouldn't happen to have three sisters would ya?

this is not a rant, just something i think i see. i could be wrong, i have been in the past

ohkay, i've been on this site for more than a minute. i've read plenty of nice guy threads, why don't i get a response threads, i have no friends threads, i want a real man threads, etc

one thing i see is that ladies start threads about what kind of men they want or need. when you look at their profile, they have emotional baggage, kids, and all kinds of problems that they want a knight in shinning armor to come in a solve. BUT the knight can't be all about sex

sex is a part of a healthy relationship and news flash lady. you were willing to have sex with the wrong guy for years and even bear a child or two with him. he wouldn't pay your bills, or treat you like a princess, or do any number of things you wanted, but you would drop your panties for him

i guarantee i guarantee i can support myself, feed myself, entertain myself, and when push comes to shove, have sex with myself. BUT for some insane reason i am willing to share everything that is me with a used and abused woman, and i'm sure plenty of other guys on or off mingle have this same crazy idea

ladies, please don't make demands or set conditions on a potential new relationship because of failed prior relationships. wipe the slate clean and do what you really want in the first place. start a new life with someone you can be happy with

(bulldog double guarantee - patent pending)

if someone refuses to see you for who you are and keeps looking for who you're suppose to be... no amount of "proving oneself" will change that...

thank you. wish moor woman looked at it that way

I don't have the background of many of the women here. I have never been married, no children, and I am a strong person so I know what you wrote doesn't apply to me. But "used and abused women"? I am offended for the ladies who struggled in failed marriages and raising children in this day and age. Kindly choose your words carefully so you don't come off bitter, frustrated and angry.

completely agree I see this not just on dating sites but also in real life some silly check-list that's 40 pages long. ...if what a guy must have/do etc.....while the check-list they set for themselves is what they won't do......

I've asked these people "what do you bring to the relationship? "

the answer better be something other than "he should be happy just to have me in his life. ..."

jmo

I dated a woman like that and it was terrible. She was nice at first, but after the third date she turned into a cow. I learned later on about her ex's, and then it all made sense. These women are no good, they will bring you down. Just an example, after a workout I feel great, I'm all showered and fresh and the women in the street will give me smiles and stare at me even when they're with their boyfriends hahaha. But when I'd meet up with her she seemed unhappy to see me. As it turns out her ex's cheated on her, so I'm guessing she had jealousy and trust issues. No doubt going out with such a hunk only heightened those feeling.

thats what i was thinking.if so i ge to pick first LOL,

Very well said Ese ! When i started out on this internet dating adventure,i found that i was defending myself to many ladies who insisted that they had been hurt in the past and didn't want that again.Fair enough,i would reply.Then i would explain that we had that in common because i have been hurt too.For some reason,many seemed to skip over that piece of information as if they had a monopoly on being hurt.Nowadays i tell someone once,and if they insist on repeating themselves i tell them i am not their ex,wish them well with their emotional issues,and say goodbye.Harsh maybe ? Possibly in some cases,but my conscience is clear when i have explained myself.There's nothing wrong with a guy expecting the same initial level of trust that a woman does when we first start chatting is there ?
Thankfully,i then found the forums on here,and discovered some amazing women speaking with an open mind.Thank you ladies

Lol leave it up to Ese to tell it like it is....

People need to learn that the past is the past.. I have known many men that do the same thing. Due to the women in their past they decide the ones after that. They are no longer going to do all the things they did for the ones before them..

Even for me this is a total turn off.. I'm not the one that treated them bad, therefore I should not be denied to be treated the way you should treat someone you are getting involved with...

Just because of a past relationships the new one will not be just like it unless you get it in your head it is. Then it is doomed to end the same..

Myself all the check lists that they must have needs to be shredded. Go for one that makes you laugh and smile.. And learn to treat each new relationship what it is worth a new beginning..

So what if it don't last learn from it and move on...

thank you. wish moor woman looked at it that way

Quality thread bulldog but I expect nothing less from you, to you and all that have posted here. Guess I have been a bit isolated lately from the world, didn't realize how cut throat this can be. While I think we all have our share of bumps and bruises at this point in our lives I too do not share the bitterness nor can I relate to the value in passing along the sins of partners past. Hope all you gentlemen of worth find your ladies you deserve them and should be esteemed and not taken for granted, at least from what I have read in the posts.
