Cobra_X30 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 what does that mean? You realize that a joke isnt funny if you have to explain it, however since this is kind of a personal joke.... here it goes. TBF once said that she wants an "outstanding" man... with the obvious implication that he be... for lack of a better term... Well Equiped. Now If you follow the thread TBF just stated that she is still looking, and Peace Pipe had previously referenced himself as outstanding. I thus abbreviated his name to something that sounded slightly more phallic, to add emphasis to the joke. I didnt expect anyone but TBF to get that. Now that explanation definitely killed the humor!

Yamaha Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 From a woman's perspective, what makes a man a "catch"? From a women's perspective it's all about CHEMISTRY. You could have all the things, money, looks, character in the world but if she doesn't feel something for you (other than he's a nice guy with lots going on) she will see you as a platonic friend, unless she's willing to settle or a gold digger. Now if your rich or powerful or a celebrity then she already desires you. I think you would not just run down your grocery list of wants with a women you desired unless you felt that connection with her. With human beings logic and character take a back seat to emotions.

Star Gazer Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Ya know what's funny? I read your original post and was going to side completely with you because I can empathize with feeling like a "catch" but remaining frustratingly single. But then I continued reading, and reading... Unfortunately, you dug yourself the deepest hole imaginable. I'm not sure you'll ever find your way out, even by a desperate starving girl with a really long fishing line. Link to post Share on other sites

StayClose Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 PP: Has it occurred to you that while you judge divorced women as having a character flaw for whatever reason, it is easy for women to judge any man who has NOT been married by 30 as afraid to commit, a player, or as having some other character flaw that is not immediately apparent? The truth is that there are any reasons why people get divorced, just as there are many reasons why someone might be 30 and never married. I'm not going to criticize your use of the word "loser" as I know what you mean. But women who are in long-term relationships with losers are losers themselves (let the flames come). Here is essentially what women respond to: 1) Appearance: Face, hair, physique and clothing. 2) Personality factors (social skills, charisma, sense of humor, confidence or the appearance of confidence, etc.) 3) Money/Status. Any man who is weak in two or more of these areas will have problems attracting & keeping women. If he's very strong in any two of them, he'll have women even if he is seriously lacking in the third. Men who are strong in all three have women will be making advances on them all the time. It sounds like you're strong on number three, so you'll have to address your appearance & social skills. Go to a gym, get a new haircut, work on how to behave during dates and what to talk & not talk about. Link to post Share on other sites
Kamille Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 No couch potato. But you have to be warned. There is a risk-taker and there is a risk-maker. The latter looks for risky situations not to be taken for coward, the former takes only neccessary risks, because he knows he is not a coward...he had his share of risks. a couch potato is a risk-tater.

Touche Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The balance of the joke was that I was only joking when saying that. Yeah right, you little size queen! I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Ok, back to PP. Bottom line for me here is that you must stop blaming the women and start looking inward. There's a reason you're dating your head off and not finding one woman. How old are you by the way? (If you care to say.) Have you EVER had a relationship that lasted for any appreciable amount of time? If not, you need to look inward and not outward. Some of us on here can clearly see what the problem is, but you're ignoring it. No one is here to trash you. Many of us have tried to make you see that you're not quite the "catch" you think you are. And I swear I'm not saying that to be mean but just to make you see that there's room for improvement there. You seem to have the "basics" of what many women would consider to be a catch. But the rest, the part it takes to "seal the deal", is sadly lacking. Can you be open-minded enough to accept the idea that it's not all these women's faults? That you may need to improve on your own character? And that perhaps you're lacking in judgement as well, evidenced by the fact that you can't/haven't chosen very well?

electric_sheep Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I respect someone that has a good career and has made effort to not be divorced or have children outside of marriage. Do these things not speak volumes about someone's character? Everyone has their own criteria, and there is no universal standard. That's what makes the world go round. Some people value looks more, others intelligence, others humor, or wealth, kindness, sexual appeal/performance. You name it. A person can look good on paper and just be as boring as a dirty sock too. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not good at answering questions, but since you ask... I shall give it the old collge try! Well now to answer question 1. Im old... dirty old in fact. I remember the Berlin Wall coming down when I was a wee child! 2. Can I be open minded? Ummm... No. Im afraid I cant do the mind part! 3. As far as things that I am lacking... well that may be many... However I have previously explained that I have two cars... and THAT should more than make up for it!

It's like you got inside his head! Ok, check this quote of Pipe's out from another thread: And yes, any woman who will not date me isn't real. Why? Because I know I am a great catch and have seen women's poor lack of judgement time and time again. WTF??????? Who the hell says that? Dude, (I mean PP, not you Cobra) it's VERY rare for me to suggest this because I just don't really take too much stock in it, but in your case I strongly suggest therapy. It certainly couldn't make things worse for you. You do need help. The kind of woman that you seem to want, a decent, intelligent, moral one will not...I repeat, will NOT be interested in YOU. I can pretty much guarantee it. Please consider talking to a therapist. I mean really, who says that? Link to post Share on other sites

One think she is princess - great catch - but no prince wants her. So one things, all the men are intimidated, blind, corrupted etc. Reality is one is just snotty selfcentered stubborn little brat and no one in his right mind would want to do anything with her. There are less occurences in male population but evidently there are. And it is more humiliating to be diagnosed with girl-disorder Link to post Share on other sites
