irc333 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I was watching this matchmaker dating show entitled "Why am I still single" or something like that. She takes 2 people, both man and a woman, she finds out their personality and what they could be doing that''s turning people off when they date. She puts them together on a secret "test" date, and observes how they are and how socially inept they wind up being. Most times, I have seen overly critical women, the guys are more open to criticism and are sometimes are even humbled by the advice giving matchmaker, and she loves it when she can make a difference in these peoples lives. But, and I'm not gender bashing...but it seems most of the time, the issues with the women of "Why they are still single", is the fact they are overly critical of the men they are set up with by said matchmaker. Either they're not tall enough, just didn't have that immediate "spark" when she shook his hand at just a stupid introduction. One said when she's not attracted to a guy, she actually zones out and doesn't listen to him talk. LOL (rude, yes) Typically at the end of the show, she follows up with her clients with a one on one at her office. This one woman stood the matchmaker up for the followup and just called in and told her that the guys she was set up with, she just wasn't into. She wasn't going to come back and listen to any kind of feedback or criticism from the matchmaker. But the guy did return for the follow-up. The matchmaker just said, "Well, she's just not ready to date." Of course, this is not going stop said woman FROM dating though. But just wind up making other men miserable when she's on a date with them. Perhaps have flings that go nowhere.....perhaps the guy will tolerate her LONG enough to get her in the sack, then perhaps sleep with her a few more times...until he can't put up with her anymore, and stop returning her calls. The point here is though, is it true that some people just have no business dating? (of course they'll do it anyway).

He is hot:love: and gives great advice to women who suck at dating and can't find men. The women on that show range from being insecure and desperate to shallow and superficial. I think every one DESERVES to date. It's just that some will never be satisfied and will never get anywhere. A life coach is sometimes needed. I wonder if they are easy to get. A lot of people need them.

Yea at least 75% of the women on dating sites shouldnt be even thinking of dating, chick flicks have a lot to answer for!!!
Eddie Edirol Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) I watch tough love, Steve gives some fantastic insight that I learn alot from. Ive seen alot of women who get dates but dont like any of the guys, and its usually because they are still in 23 year old mentality mode, where their criteria is too unrealistic. Steve did a show on this and showed the women how they were killing their own chances. Then theres the women like my ex who was wasting time dating guys knowing her heart wasnt in it. Theres women pining over a guy that they cant have, and are looking for a guy just like him. Thats the worst...theres a couple of them on this board. If more people were more date saavy, and could pick up on genuine interest before the date, men and women wouldnt get away with wasting other peoples time. Edited November 12, 2011 by Eddie Edirol

Great show and he's easy on the eyes so that always helps. Some of the women on that show are dating MESSES! But they always end up learning something and some even end up with men. Maybe I should go on that show:o
Disillusioned Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I've never watched that show, but it's been my experience that a lot of people don't know what they want in a partner, or if they even want one in the first place. They are the ones who cause the traffic jams for the rest of us. Don't hit the road if you have no idea where you want to go.
somedude81 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 How come when ever I come to a thread about dating troubles, the problem mainly comes down to women being difficult?
