You felt open to getting to know her and explore her mind and abilities, while she was looking to mark a bunch of checkmarks on her list.

I absolutely get where you're coming from, but swiss cheesing the woman race isn't going to help either. Us guys who have been through the wash, rinse, repeat cycle many times just have it harder than other people. We may find love and we may not, but nothing ever came to someone who didn't try.

Your top paragraph is spot freaking on. Exactly, average girl thinks she can bark orders at me and I'll quickly fall into line. No thanks.

And yes, this IS the essence of the modern dating scene. A woman these days who is on the same level as the guy, assumes that he should kiss her a** for a shot at the nookie. No thanks again.

I'm not swiss cheesing the female gender, simply describing how most of them are these days.

Ray you really have got to do some introspection. I am a guy and after reading your posts if I was a woman I wouldn't date you either! You have so much bitterness and anger behind your posts and while you try to play it cool everyone else can see right through that charade.

Learn to enjoy life! I walk outside everyday and I am always in awe of how amazing this world really is and how lucky I am to have the life I have.

This is your own personal bias showing through, Ruth. Not at all different from what you accuse me and other guys of on a daily basis.

No one here said "this doesn't sound that weird". They said, "don't make such a big deal out of it. Just drop her, and keep moving." NOBODY implied it's normal. It isn't normal. You're desperately trying to accuse all of womankind, and paint everyone with the same brush. We're here to tell you you're wrong. (Do NOT put words in our mouths!) Sorry you keep running into the same issue over and over, but there are great women out there. They tend not to gravitate toward cranky guys, though.
I'm not accusing anybody of anything, I'm describing the way things are.

This ^^. That's what I meant about trying to accuse all women. "All the women" did not chime in at all. They agreed with you, and said you shouldn't dwell on it, and just move on. For some reason, you perceived their posts as the opposite of what they were.

The fact is, a lot of women are invisible. Nobody's flocking. Show me a flock. There are no flocks.

I don't date, so everyone's happy. No woman is going to be burdened with dating me and my bad attitude, and I'm not going to have to deal with any woman's petty crap.

I do enjoy life, immensely actually.

Men don't have it much better either. The fact is, most of us have to try really hard to find AND KEEP the person we want. Gender has nothing to do with it.

I have marital problems. No secret to anyone. But I also have three very well-adjusted and intelligent sons who love me. I'll take that. What do you have, besides porn and your right hand?

Baaaaahahaha. Remember, we've all heard your story, too, Lucario. I wouldn't trade my spot for yours for a million dollars.
Yeah? You bytch, moan and complain on an Internet forum about the problems you have with women, and then you go on these tangents about how you'd like to play these insane games with women's emotions. What a classy, psychologically stable guy you are.

I'd rather be alone than be a woman's doormat, as you are.
Yes, and I'm sure you'd be man enough to say that to my face.

First off, I'm a lefty and from your own descriptions, you don't have much more than that.

I don't have any problems with women, since I don't date. Can you say the same?

As far as saying something to your face, you can't even handle your wife, so I don't think I'd have too much to worry about.
