For sure! I ran into one tonight as a matter of fact!

The measure of someone’s value (a prize as you put it) is of little to no consequence to you or anyone else but that individual. Everyone deserves “the best”. The best is subjective, and it’s not to be understood by anyone else.

I am dumfounded by this “theory” that people have to be ‘a prize’ in order to be selective in dating. Being careful is SMART!!! I admire people who are choosy; they usually have a lot more to offer - and a lot more to lose.

You rock, Melody!!! Love the vocab, too!

Ok. I think what dude was getting at was the fact that some women "DO" feel that they are God's gift to all men. And, they act like it, and act like total snobs to all men. Yeah, being a biatch to the loser dudes (the ones who want sex and nothing else) is understandable. But what about being mean to a dude who is sincere about wanting to truly get to know her? Yeah, she can be picky and be selective and those are good things to be. But don't be so rude as to treat all dudes like little nothings.

And OP, if this wasn't what you were getting at, then my bad. I will go in a time out.

Thank you

I just think any person, man or woman, should treat themselves as a "prize".

Every three-nosed, one-legged, with a face only a mother could love, living in a box, riding a tricycle to work, American Idol loving (haha) person deserves the best.

Goof, I agree that doesn't give anyone a right to be mean or snobby to another person. To me these are two individual issues; one is of bad character and the other is of seeking happiness.

It boils down to mutual attraction and each being the whole package to the other.

To the OP: Welcome to Mingle! This really is a great site and we all pretty much each other.

i agree, but i think a lot of people have their sights set on some fairy tale person and therefore overlook all of us regular yet perfectly adequate people.


. . .

Did you just call me an Amercian Idol lover?

I have never understood why someone would want a fairy's tail.

Mixing fantasies doesn't necessarily make for an invalid argument.

Why must women be so picky
Because generically, “note the word generically” their primary factor on choosing a mate is based on looks.

They argue this point as being a malicious lie and strive to prove otherwise; it is only the weakness of the male that accepts the deviations from the fact.

The argument to all men is that you are trying too hard to impress, instead of just being yourself, you are you and never forget this, never change you to suit somebody else’s ideals ; for all you are doing is fuelling a control freaks desires.

I can go out at night and easily get a phone number. I often go out and am told after a few drinks and a chat that I am not going to sleep them in bed tonight,,,, lol

This has just told me that they think I am hot and I am arousing them and that this is their feeble attempt at denying the inevitable.

As the end of the night approaches I will say well I had better get you a taxi......then to be met with are you not coming back for a coffee then so I take them home.

I have a coffee and say well I better go!

I will give you three guesses what the next question is going to be? And it is not goodnight I will see you tomorrow!

that is not all the time but 90% OF THE TIME


The problem here is the simple fact that dating sites allow women to think they have control of you and unlike men they band together to communicate AND ATTACK in mass.

The proven fact will be the crap I am about to be given for writing this, yet men seem to take the retorts personally instead of understanding that face to face you would easily become another conquest.

Then I will receive the utter garbage from men who think the best way to get them noticed on here is to agree with the women’s replies in a futile hope that they will be seen as a modern man.......and therefore recieve hundreds of emails from adoring women,,,,,,,,,, sorry just fell off my chair with laughter.

puzzies more like!

I am now going into my local town to have fun with real people who do not hide behind the veil of a computer screen,,,, so whilst you men are trying your hardest to prove you are men I will get yet another phone number, to ease the anguish of being another lonely man using a dating site to find his true love? Lol
II am bored now

Have a nice day

I live in the internet.

yay!

Now what kind of generalization is that!

hey, speak for yourself; i AM a prize winner.

are you saying that women should date men to whom they are not attracted?

Dude, almost 240000 posts, u must be living in it and breathing it.

You don't have limits, parameters, qualifications; for the people you want to be with you? Why wouldn't others be the same way.
