U1987 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I've heard it said again and again that women don't truly know or understand what they want in a guy. I thought it was just a saying, but I've been browsing Plenty of Fish trying to hone my online dating technique, and I'm shocked by how many girls put "dinner and a movie" for their ideal first date. Dinner and a movie is about the most boring and awkward first date idea there is. Why do so many women put that up though? Are they just young and haven't had enough experience for funner dates? Is it a test for guys (to see who breaks the rules)? Or do these girls really not know what they want and just put it up to fill in space?
carhill Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Let's just say they're very sure about what they *don't* want. From my experience, bike rides, picnics, and walks through the zoo, as examples, were on that list. Admittedly, some of that was likely due to an abysmally poor people-picker on my part. The competition was more creative in getting them into bed
hART Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 What age are these women you are looking at? I know what I want, but what I want and what I need are very different. I'm trying to figure out the 2nd one.
carhill Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I would hazard a guess that the OP is 23 or so; my anecdotes spanned my twenties and into my early 30's. At that point I gave up and went back to dinner dates and had much better 'success'.
westrock Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Actually, I think women know exactly what they want in a guy. The problem is that usually there isn't any one person that they can find who has all the traits they want. The challenge then becomes figuring out what they can live with and whether they can accept a person who doesn't have some of the qualities they want.
