If I wasnt in a relationship I wouldnt do long distant relationships ever again either. I love the snuggling too much. Two of my cousins are married to military men and I could NEVER be those women. I mean...wow they really have it tough and more power to them if they can do it and keep being faithful <---KEY. But then again I dont really feel bad for them because they knew what they were getting themselves into...plus they get tons of benefits lol.

Yep, military relationships aren't easy. I've said it before, but my dad was in the Air Force. He knows that the military lifestyle ultimately led to my parents' break up. He was pretty well decorated and got to a fairly high rank, but in his own words he'd trade it all to put the family back together again. Obviously this isn't going to happen (he's about to remarry, and my mom is in her own new relationship), but that tells you something about the life.

statistically, people only cheat in long distance relationships as much as they normally would in any relationship. stress-wise, people suspect their partner of cheating something like double or triple in that kind of relationship, though.

i think you both have to be kind of especially trusting and patient for that kind of thing to work out in the long run.

Girls...

*Siiiiiiigh* There's none here worth while, none that seem to peak my interest. And any of my closest girl friends moved the *FEEP* away from here.

Farm towns blow the big one, especially this one.

Why am I posting? I don't know.

They don't happen at a certain age. They are crafted at any age. Not all of us are live fast, party hard, "An awkward morning beats a boring night" kind of guy, but those guys ruin it for us, and therefore we are overlooked.

But just guys aren't at fault here. Plenty of women also have this mentality. Mature women can be crafted at any age, and it doesn't "just happen." All that's really needed is to keep your eyes open and look a bit into his/her past or present.

You can usually spot a jerkbag a mile away without even trying. Hate to be stereotypical, but their demeanor, clothing, even hair can be instantaneous tip offs to personality.

For example, this one guy I met at Acen, I immediately put him on my watch list. I turned out right as the guy has rather objectionable photos of him on the internet and he doesn't seem like a trustworthy guy. Just wants a quickie and moves on.

YOU have to learn to filter these guys out. You can't judge books by their covers, but you can at least read the first few lines.

I have tons of guy friends and let me tell you that its not just the men. Theres bad in both genders, but theres good as well. I mean right now one of my friends was going out with this girl and she was still living with her ex and sleeping with him >.< Then she left and moved out of that one guys apt and was going to be with my friend and they were happy till they went out to a bar and she ended up brining two exes with and she went home with them and left my friend at the bar...and for some reason she thinks thats okay. -_-

With honest people, it doesnt come at an age. Its a personality trait that can come at a certain age but I think most people either are or arent.

i think i should add in i live near a rich spoiled area and a college town... then the last person i knew swore they believed in honesty yet when they found out i was having some depression and stressed because of work they were suddenly workin all the time (should have logged off of his xbox live, or defriended me... im not retarded) i had to call him out on it and when i did he even then said he was just doing what was right because i was depressed i was going to ruin his life (sorry i had seasonal depresssion, but last i looked it didnt cause me to ruin the lives of anyone i knew)

ive stopped dating, stopped looking, dont go out just baby sit but theres a real lack in my area of guys that say they are honest and direct yet they are, how to put this... they ruin my experience with the other gender.

as for females that suck, i never said they dont at points and i know plenty that do that crap my bestfirend is never happy unless shes with someone... and each someone she swears shes gonna marry. shes not married.

@ZomgBlue- I dont think that you should give up entirely on dating unless thats what youd truly want. Theres got to be at least some good people where you live. I find most people are conceited and arent that trustworthy in the more rich areas, but that doesnt mean that they all are like that. I found it best to not exactly 'look' for love and go date, but to well, let it happen as weird as it sounds. When it comes to love and others happiness you cant really be specific about what you should do because everyone is different and has different likes and whatnot so I could say that you should not look for love, but then someone would just sit inside all day and 'wait' but thats not exactly what I mean. So many factors lol So its kind of difficult to give people advice on these matters.

Ugh, here we go again... -_-

I, myself, tend to take to take more of Xenoblade's side and tend to have anti-women tendencies. Several of my friends and I have been taken advantage of or cheated on by women, but none of my female friends have been cheated on. I have developed a bit of animosity so I do understand you girls who are anti-men because they are jerks, ect. because you and/or your loved ones have been wronged.

I used to have a girlfriend who cheated on me, and lied to me on several occasions about it, and for all I know she had done it again. It was despicable and I have no idea how someone could cheat on someone else. I am also disturbed by people who think that not cheating on their spouse is a challenge.

i more or less just dont date by choice because its more comfortable for me to just get dressed up for me, i take the kids i babysit out and we have fun instead of me getting taken out by a guy. it works for me.

haha i feel silly i kinda had an awkward moment this weekend with a guy at a pet supply store. he reminded me of gutg and i was trying to change teh subject from dogs to something else and failed. i said wow you really remind me of this person i met at a convention, but his nme isnt matt and he lives in another state and well he wouldnt work here thats for sure cause teh commute would suck. he laughed hard. then i didnt need help out to my car but i said hey matt want to take a walk outside. he helped load up my car and it was obvious the other clerks were trying to get him to hit on me cause i couldnt keep flirting any more as i was getting shy. the women caught on. i then even brought my dog back and was like yeah i decided i might as well give her a bath now so she doesnt stink as bad when the puppy comes in like august.

nope i didnt get his number i just know he looks like gutg his name is matt where he works and that he wants a husky for his dream dog and we talked about dog food and i taught him a few new things too... so its not like i wasnt receptive i just am as shy as the shy nice guys i like.

ps. ranko badboys are borning and easy to predict, first they play hard to get, then treat you like number 2, then use you till you get sick of it... then if that doesnt drive you off keep it up till you are married. after that if you dont realize it sucks you either get dropped for a new model or just get used even worse.

well.

'good' and 'bad' are totally subjective terms. also, people who see themselves as a 'nice guy' tend to be insanely judgmental. being totally honest about everything means you're a prettyrude and insensitive person. being completely honesty is contradictory to being completelykind, isn't it? sometimes it's the HONEST reply to tell your g/f that she looks fat in a newdress, but it certainly isn't the NICE reply.

i think what zomgblue wants is someone smart enough to know when to tell the truth and when to be kind. i don't think most girls want a good or bad boy specifically, so much as a guy who's fun and charismatic, or a guy who's stable and reliable depending on the person. in my experience, and generalizing a lot here, most ladies look for one of those two things when picking boyfriends.

i shared a "completely-honest" type of relationship with one of my guy friends out here in college these last two semesters. it was interesting to get used to, as i guess i could be considered a sensitive person, but it was his blunt honesty "say exactly what i'm thinking" attitude that attracted me a lot. it was nice being that comfortable with somebody to literally be able to say whatever was on my mind and not have them be like, "omg you suck/you're weird/ih8u." even though we each probably said a lot of things that most other people would consider ridiculously insulting, it just made everything better (for me at least) when he complimented me because I knew that he was being honest. does that make sense?
it was really because we got to avoid all of the fake tons of crap that people usually deal with these days, you know. i feel as if a lot of times in relationships, people fail to truly be themselves because they are worried about seeming unattractive to the other person (or whatever, something like that). And that's stupid.
but maybe i just lucked out in that whole situation. :)

i think you have to be an intense, grissly, alphamale to pull of a pink apron, so it makes sense. that, or you're picturing the guy wearing JUST the apron..


..maybe the idea of a man being a good enough chef to wear an apron while he's preparing a meal for you is just insta-swoon material? xD

I stick by what I said lol, I was essentially just talking about me... I've been overlooked because of physical appearance more times that I care to count. Something has to be wrong when you can't even get past the words "hey you wann..." without getting cut off by a very angry sounding no.

I think that goes both ways frankly. Girls get over looked for the woman with bigger knockers standing next to them.

It's not that I'm so much anti-woman (even tho I've been treated like absolute crap by females in this area. Honestly, they are the reason I have low self confidence and kinda take any sort of compliment with a grain of salt. Nuff said that I don't have many female friends in this area, but in chicago, I have alot. I just think the females here are just evil. haha But anyways, I'm mostly just tired of it always seeming like all the world's problems are always on guys. Women rant on guys (be it media, talk shows and all that) all the time. And true guys ARE horrible, but it's like so rare to ever hear a rant on women. When I stand on the point that they are just as bad as males. It just drives me mad. Especially for guys like me and Foolish here who've had our share of bad women, and it's such a social stigma to really complain about it.

Actually Keiichi as always comes in first to debate that. lol XD (Seriously, you can make a good Keiichi trap if you say "I don't get dates cuz I'm a nice guy" lol But yeah, there is usually more. As much as I want to believe it's just the appearance, it really isn't that. It DOES play a role. Because face it. EVERYONE looks at looks. They are lying if they really say looks don't matter. (Now I'm not saying looks are number 1 to people, but it's a flat out lie if you say looks just don't matter. Physical attraction is needs as much as emotional attraction) But it might not be the case. I'll give you example from me. For instance, I asked someone out during acen. (to keep this short and positive I'll leave out the story of her not telling me she got a boyfriend after I asked her out and she accepted) But it never happened. She told me that I had everything that she would go out with, but it was the distance. (And later that I didn't give her the feeling that she would get from someone she would like.) So it wasn't a look thing that I know many of us unlucky guys kinda go first to when we get rejected. Heck even my best friend was saying why I failed alot is distance. (I just refuse to try anything here. :/) So don't assume to fast. (Kinda hurts that girls don't dish out compliments like guys to people they find attractive. Unless you are a friend. Like if you kind don't feel confident about yourself, they'll be quick to say you are handsome and all, but it's kinda like hard to believe since it's only a friend that say so. And you never know it was to be nice. lol haha)

I think that goes both ways frankly. Girls get over looked for the woman with bigger knockers standing next to them.
And yes, yes I know not ALL men do that but it does happen.


Oh yeah it goes both ways. It just more common knowledge that guys do it. It's not really said alot about women from what I've seen. Actually the last person I was interested in, I'm quite sure passed me over because of looks. (I was told she didn't get the feeling of interest when she seen me, even tho we've been talking for a while.) Eh. Looks matter to both sexes.

womens wants in looks change through out their cycle though, but still looks tend to always come first no matter what anyone may claim. its an interesting thing though if a woman meets a guy while ovulating then meets him later on while not... the whole dynamic of how she may feel can be amazingly different.

Well I know I don't have many grounds to diaagree since I'm no women, but from what I've seen, heard, and experienced, looks defintely don't really come first. Looks matter, but for most, it's kinda just a "attention grabber perse"

However, I do find it funny if it was a bad break up, how people will go like "liek omg!!! What did I ever seen in that ugly guy/girl?" when you thought the guy was so hot. It always makes me laugh.

To be absolutely technical, attraction to physical traits is natural. Some may make it more of a priority than others to the point of being callous and shallow, and even discriminatory at times, but it happens. In nature, some species will only seek mates with certain markings, certain physiques, good health, and/or prowess in battle. It's all about the genes - if you want to contribute to the species and expect your young to survive, you want to be sure your mate makes the cut. So even amongst humans, it makes sense that looks will play a role in who one would want to date/marry/have kids with/etc.

But then, because of a funny thing called psychology, every human will have a different perception of what they would want their ideal mate to look like. And because of psychology, people will often want their mate to think like them - or at least along the same lines, or simply go with the flow. Or perhaps they just want someone who will appreciate them or their sense of humor.

Or they want a girl like Belldandy, which is my ideal woman. :thumbup:

When do men or women become mature, stable people? Depends on the person! I know guys who are in their sixties and act like they're 12. I've seen women who are pushing 60 and still think it's Woodstock '68 (and dress accordingly...there's still no "barf" emoticon, I see). And I've seen some of my students fresh out of high school who have their heads on straight, know where they're going, and how they're going to get there.

And Saphrinka's right; we're kinda held hostage to our hormones (especially guys). Not saying that non-supermodel girls don't have a chance, but they probably will have less of a chance until the late 20s/early 30s, when guys start to realize that they indeed will never score with the Swedish Bikini Team (all of them at once!), nor get married to Gisele Bundchen (yet another reason to hate Tom Brady). It's not that we realize we'll have to settle for second-best--it's that we realize that we set our bar too high to begin with. Women, I imagine, also realize at some point that few men have Brad Pitt's looks and money, and that saying you're going to marry Robert Pattinson in all his "dead for 3 days" glory is also setting the bar too high.

But women shouldn't be offended if a guy, especially "their" guy, occasionally is distracted by knockers straining valiantly to be set free from the Hooters Girl T-shirt. We're biologically programmed to look. However, if the guy goes over and does a Miroku ("Will you bear my child?" *grabs butt*) or Happosai ("What a haul!" *grabs boobs*), then he deserves for "his" girl to use a cheese grater on his face, or on other pieces of his anatomy if he's running around on her.

Women supposedly are biologically programmed to be attracted to the smell of men's sweat, but I call BS on that--otherwise there'd be a lot more action going on at ACen. But I'm good friends with a woman who's happily married, and he doesn't mind when she talks about the hunks she meets at her job--nor does she mind when the talk gets a little earthy at the game table or I'm over there drawing naked female gargoyles. (Don't ask.)

I think people just need to relax some. You gotta be friends before you can be lovers. Me...I'll settle for a girl to talk dirty to me.

@Kirby- I used to be in a long distant relationship for about 4 years back when I was in high school and things went pretty much exactly like how you described them. We were a really great couple and could talk on the phone for hours. I mean the longest phone conversation we had was a little over 24 hours. Now THAT is ridiculous lol but not to say this is going to happen to you...he ended up cheated on me the last 6 months of our relationship and his best friend kept telling me it was happening but ya know how it is when you think your 'so much in love' and keep telling yourself its not happening and thats what I did, till I called him late at night and that girl answered his phone...yah...Not the greatest feeling in the world. But anywho, I got over it. I actually saw him at Acen again a last year after not seeing him for 4 years and I was like...wow, he definitely wasnt worth all the crying over lol

So long distant relationships have a high percentage of breakup rates, but thats not to say that people cant make it happen because I know people that have and they finally moved by eachother and are great couples so depending on the people, it can work. lol so thats my rant on LDR's




I wouldn't date that guy Ska simply because of that, plus I don't think he's interested anymore anyways. We kinda got into it the other day. :(


I wont lie, physical attraction is important. I mean, I don't require Hyde (Yes, I just made a jrock reference ) but I don't want Quasimoto either. A healthy balance is essential. I do like the eye candy guys though... *Looks at cute guys bottom.* I probably wouldnt date one though, just because he is more likely to get girls who think there better than me hitting on him. I might have to scratch their pretty little eyes out... metaphorically of course.



Also, with the long distance thing, I can't handle it. I am a needy person, even with my friends. Having a lover that wasn't with me in the same city and stuff* might drive me to the loony bin. :P The online dating/I've never really met the person/I only met them once, kind of thing doesnt work for me either. I might be a flirt, actually I AM a flirt, and I may have chemistry with some people, but I will never be truely interested in somebody before I meet them.

ROFL! Actually, the way a guy smells is so important to me. I am not talking about his cologne either. :3 He needs to have that something that makes me crave him... lol

How could anyone talk on the phone for 24 hours? How about lunch, dinner and taking a poo?..well i guess you can take a poo while talking on the phone.
