Why don't many of you let the woman you're seeing know your intentions?


For the same reason that some women constantly make negative statements about men.

"

What else? I also believe that if someone comes up behind you on the freeway and flashes their lights to get you to move into the slow lane, they deserve whatever punishment you dole out to them. I promptly slow down and drive at the same speed as the car beside me so that I can punish Speed Racer for his impertinence.

Actually, it's not the impertinence I'm punishing him for, it's that he let other people know what he wanted.

Speed Racer, my friend, never ever let people know what you want. Because if you do, you might as well send them engraved invitations saying, "Hi, this is what I want you to prevent me from ever having."

Because, Estelle
If we did, then you would say,
"You never, ever surprise me...everrrrrrrrrrr".

I just said that in my best Fran Drescher voice.scared


LOL....Like "Never Eveeerrrrrr. OMG!"

This questions seems to me to be too simplistic. How can anyone (man or woman) know their intentions until you meet? I guess if your intentions on "dating" are only for a specific purpose (i.e. sex or LTR) but there are many shades in between there which is where most people are at.

I don't think most men or women have the specific purpose in mind. Yes, there are some but not the majority.

a person has to start by loving themself, then be ready to offer something positive to a potential mate.
if one looks to the world expecting negativity and thinking they know everything about everyone, they'll find exactly that.
if one builds up their defenses against the world in order not to be hurt, those same defenses will keep away well meaning and friendly people.

if you don't want to jump into anything you can take the time to be friends.
that's a great start to know what a person is about

Many women have a specific purpose when they seek relationships with men of what they would want ideally. Usually we want marriage and a family. Men are aware of this come on now.. And yet they hide their own intentions from these women because so many guys want something else ..and we all know what that something else is. So, guys why don't you tell us your intentions (and women tell yours too come on..don't act like you just want to hook up..unless you do!). There should be more transparency in dating. Why does it need to be so mysterious?

maybe a better question would be is how many people find it so mysterious? if me and a chic don't clic, i just move on... why try to make sense of the senseless?

I'm kind of surprised by this thread & some responses ..
If it isn't on the profile or someone does tell you then ASK & more on.
Even if I don't like the answer I respect a straight forward answer. Why play games or complicate it. slaphead


We get what we settle for - so don't settle. smokin

I think most of us are looking for a LTR in the end, but I think there's a difference in what men and women do to 'tide themselves over' till they meet that special person. In general women deal with sex differently than men do. To women it usually means emotional involvement, committing, thinking / feeling there's something more. Women in general bond with their lover. It's easier for men to just have sex without feeling committed beyond the moment, without thinking and wanting it to become more. So if they'd openly tell us what they wanted, sex for one night, or half a night even, most women would probably tell them to FO.

Of course there's always the total a-holes that make you believe they want something real while they really only need someone to 'tide them over'.

Rori Raye even says that men don't really commit until they want to marry you. Not even when you're living together, not even when he calls you his girlfriend, until he wants to make you his wife. To him it's just a temporary situation, comfortable, fulfills his needs at that time. And to be honest, I think there's a lot of truth in there...
Does explain why a man can be in a LTR but does not want to start a family, does not want to get married etc, then suddenly meets this one woman, leaves the LTR to move in with the new woman, and within 3 months she's expecting their first child and he has proposed to her as well. Clearly he wasn't willing to really commit to the first one, yet he did with the new woman..

Think about all the divorced men that are scared to commit again. Most say they do not ever want to get married again, nor do they ever want to provide for a woman ever again. Indications they aren't willing to ever really commit anymore.

Men are commitment phoebes.
Men are afraid of marriage.
Men just want the milk without buying the cow.

You're slowly turning into another Estelle, it doesn't suit you, and I meant that respectfully.

Really, you need to read the post and I'm sure she's capable of speaking for herself anyway.
