They can do things to feel safe and secure without a guy in their life. Not saying I would be unwilling to provide security and protection, but shouldn't it go both ways? You're making it sound as though women should want to date me because of the money or goods I can offer them. That just feels really wrong to me.
How do you guys pull of this sheer confidence? It astounds me. I have my moments, but I'm not able to "turn it on" at will.
I'm just saying that if she cares more about the money and security than me as a person, then what's the point?

It does go both ways. For guys, a beautiful girl is not just a matter of fulfilling sexual and romantic attraction, it's a major symbol. Other guys will be envious, and other girls will want you for themselves. It's a measure of how successful you are with attracting partners that you can get a girl that every guy wants for themselves. You don't have to be shallow to feel better about having a fine woman on your arm than an ugly one; just human.
In the same way, you don't have to be a gold digger or care about money whatsoever to be more attracted to a successful guy. That guy will be confident and unafraid and desirable to everyone around him.
A few questions:
1. Shouldn't they understand my passions as well?
2. What kind of "joy" are you talking about?
Perhaps I'm naive (and a tad stubborn), but I feel it's not even worth pursuing if she only loves the things I give to her, and not me. In such a case, it would feel more like a job than a meaningful relationship.
They will, but you seem to only care about yourself. You want YOU with boobs1. Shouldn't they understand my passions as well?
How are your Sunday evenings doing for you? Know that feeling? The joy of sharing that time with someone that cares for you, tends to you and admires you. That kind of joy2. What kind of "joy" are you talking about?
Yet you want only to get things right? You will only love a girl that gives you sex and companionship yet You still haven't answered, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER?Perhaps I'm naive (and a tad stubborn), but I feel it's not even worth pursuing if she only loves the things I give to her, and not me.

KAAATE! KAAATE! KAAATE! KAAATE!That first one sounds like one I shouldn't click on from work. Can you explain?

1. I assume in a relationship you'd have to come to a mutual understanding. A great girl whose passions you understand and appreciate will do the same for you.
2. The joy of having someone in your life that loves you unconditionally? I dunno, I'm not that joyful.
KAAATE! KAAATE! KAAATE! KAAATE!

Yes. It is nothing that bad.So can I safely click from work or not?
It seems you might have some problems with making yourself to come out as adorable. And now I mean only your way of saying things. You managed to look selfish and unsecure even within the party that is mainly male.I didn't mean to come off as selfish (though I probably did anyway). I'm just afraid of it being a one-sided relationship. That's all.
I hurt my shoulder last night. I didn't have to tell my girl, she knew just by watching me and gave me an unrequested massage.
yeah, I will fight fucking hydras for that kind of shit
Holy shit that's amazing! Definitely a keeper my man.My GF made me Settlers of Catan cupcakes last night for my berfday. She's a keeper.

I tell you, I had to go through some hilariously bad matches to get to her, but I'm glad I stuck it out and didn't give up on dating. I hope you guys wanting to give up will take this awesome story as fuel to continue your quest. It's cheesey, but "it gets better." So keep on going!

You could perhaps try to be more polite and open minded towards people in general? Now you strike us as stubborn and uncompromising. I don't say you should change your way of thinking, I am just implying you could try to express your feelings in nicer way. I have also noticed that people who are very unsecure about themselves are usually the ones that pick on other people and don't think other's are good enough for them.
We aren't trying to change you, we are seriously looking for your best interest.
Edit. Oh and now after this message I feel like an asshole. Good work.
Ah, it is 5 am, I am going to crawl to bed.
Haha. Bad example? Or amazing example?

Then surely getting a haircut and shaving that beard is not much of a sacrifice right? You can grow them later! Most likely you won't want toThis is exactly what I want.

I posted a few pages ago and received two good/short responses. I would like some more words of wisdom though.
Let me say right off the back, I've had something with this girl on and off since i was 13, until i was 19. I'm 21 now. Each time we tried to have a relationship, she always ended up walking away from me. She moved and I didn't mind long distance but she did. Despite that, she always tries to contact me one way or another every year to say that she "misses me". And it bothers me to no end that this girl had the nerve to call me 2 years after our last blowout(it was bad). And now she calls near Valentines no less?>.>.
Anyway, she said she saw my name in her phone and missed me. Talked for a few minutes. Mentioned how she liked that I still kept her in my phone after all this time. I corrected her and told her that I knew the area code since I was in her state a few weeks ago for a dental school interview (which is true). Asked me how I was and I told her. Told her I had to go catch a party before I asked her how she was (which is true). She laughed and said bye.
To be honest, it took a lot to play it cool and not call her every name in the book. I guess I held a small grudge against not only her but my self for letting my self get walked over as much as I did. Do I still care about her? Of course I do. I would never take her back though. Just hurts how that 13 year old girl turned out like that you know? And even more so, how I will remember her. I don't want to remember her like this, but can't do anything about reality right? She's a big part of who I am and I grew the most(for the better), because of the crap she put me through that I will no longer put up with from any women.
I was just being myself. I thought that's what girls wanted.
Take everything you've heard about what girls say they want. Do the opposite of that. That's what they really want.

That even more frustrating moment when you see a girl you want to approach, and then right as you think about it suddenly a guy walks around the corner and starts walking with her.

Improve your odds by increasing the number of women you speak with.
Depending on the scenario it should be reevaluated as a defensive stance, like a test. Probing to find out if you really are the man she could be insterested in. A test of your characteristica. If youre strong enough to take up a challenge.
Ive been in bed with and dated girls that actually had a boyfriend... which well, they never mentioned untill I found out about them later or through a mutual friend.
.....I would like to think most girls are not like that, and even so those girls would be the ones to run the fuck away from.

People above a certain threshold of desirability often don't spend *any* time single. Think about how that can be the case: when they're starting to feel like shit about their current relationship, the previously impervious shields will go down for the right person advancing on them (channeling that dissatisfaction and highlighting the opportunity for something better/new/different) and they'll end the existing relationship (before or after sleeping with the new person...) and go straight into the next one with the new person. You can't ever have a chance with a person frequently being hit on if you wait for them to be single and they're never actually single.
I would end a relationship before being with someone else as I have strict standards for my own behavior. The other direction doesn't really apply; if a girl's dissatisfied with her current relationship and is on her way out, and chooses me (as she would if she had any sense whatsoever unless he's Michael Fassbender or something, but then how would she ever be dissatisfied in the first place?!), that's some unknown guy's loss and my gain. I'd want her to end things with the other guy immediately though or I'd bail, since that's getting into amoral/untrustworthy behavior and not cool to string the guy along like that.

Buddy of mine is now hooking up with this girl who is still living with her boyfriend. her and my buddy "go study in the library" and then she goes back to the boyfriend like nothings wrong. I just don't fucking get it.
Exactly. Break it off BEFORE doing any of that. If they want to do it after, then nope, I'm bailing out.

Yeah, I mean, your buddy should enjoy himself, but if she's sleeping around a bunch casually while living with someone and pretending that everything's totally fine, phew, that's the opposite of relationship material. I'd laugh my ass off if she wanted to move in with me after that ;b
