Men are like taxi-cabs, what do you think about this theory?

So I was watching the Sex and The City episode where they use the men are like taxi-cabs analogy. You have to get them when their light is on. When their light is one they will grab the first woman they see. Most women have had their light on a long time and it is all about timing? I was just curious about what the men out there think about this statement? Do you really think that it is somewhat true?

is this true? not for me. i don't show interest in a woman unless I thin k there may be something there. for example. let 's say i have not had sex in six months and some woman approaches me and show interest but i am not attracted to her. in this situation i would not give her the time of day.

Thanks Alphamale!
Ooops, I forgot to mention in case anyone has not seen that episode that the taxi-cab theory is referring to the idea that men are either ready to dive into a long-term relationship or they are not. I.E. the light is on or off? Do you guys out there agree?

well u did not say this initially. it is true to an extent but it has to be a compatible woman. if a dude is ready for a LTR he's not gonna start dating a fat ugly chick when he is used to model types.

Men are ready for the right person. When he says he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now add (with you) on the end. For the right woman, he is more than ready. He's riding around with his light on, waiting for her to hail his cab.

Men are like buses. If you miss one, don't worry, another will be by in a few minutes.

Alphamale, the fat and ugly dudes gotta' date someone so I don't think that the fat and ugly women have to worry about being lonely for longer than the usual ten minutes.

unfortuantely, COOLAUNT, the fat 'n ugly dudes also want the attractive women. and the fat 'n ugly women also want the good lookin' successful men.

so none of the fat 'n ugly men and women ever hook up cause they're too busy chasing after people who don't give 'em the time of day.

Same for those fat and ugly guys. I've known many men who rate no higher than 4 on a scale of 1 to 10 yet spent years and years dating Rosie and her sisters while holding out for the 10 they thought they deserve. Most of them are now with 4s.

it takes a while for some people (both sexes) to figure out what "staying in your own league" means...
