d'Arthez Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Strictly mathematically speaking, I agree. Chances of starting with pocket aces is less than 0.5%. Chances of winning against a random hand are 85%. But people are aware the beautiful woman has pocket aces and is inexperienced, so they should not be considered as holding random cards. Under these conditions, winning percentages against pocket aces will be much higher than you'd think, especially if the beautiful woman is up against experienced players.
LittlePrince Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Sure. I dated a man who on the first date, told me he wasn't looking for a relationship which was fine with me since neither was I. Guess who pressured me for a relationship pretty quickly where I finally caved into a short-term one? Guess who pressured me for a long-term relationship but I refused? It's ridiculous for anyone to believe that men know exactly what they want at all times! He knew he wanted ltr from the beginning. He also knew women don't like men who want ltr from the beginning whether they want ltr or not.
threebyfate Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 My best friend is marrying a man like that! It worked out because she never suffered, she was genuinly non-comittal at the start.Our lifestyles were too different so it was pretty obvious to me that it would lead to future drama. But he's a great guy where H really likes him too, so he became a friend of the family. He knew he wanted ltr from the beginning. He also knew women don't like men who want ltr from the beginning whether they want ltr or not.Wrong.
boytoy Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Men know exactly what they want. Women don't want to know what men really want. Women prefer games and conflict. Women don't want to know who a man is. Women would rather know the game and guess at who he is even when it is staring her right in the face. Men learn this and use this knowledge to get what they want. Women get upset that they are given what they want and blame it all on men. Men get upset for being solely responsible when they weren't and that you can't get what you want with games, conflict, and peculiar stratagems based on the opposite sex's insanity. Men learn women are incapable of giving them what they want. They learn to settle for what they can get and become emotionally distant in the process. Women never learn to settle. They stay unreasonable, capricious, and continue to feel justified in wanting the wrong things. OMG THIS!!! This is by far the deepest, most insightful, truest analysis of women ever articulated in the history of mankind! LittlePrince you are a genius, and you should put this in a book (after fixing some of the run-on sentences :-)).
LittlePrince Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Ever dated before? Ever forgot to wipe to just get back to posting on LS? We both know the answer.
d'Arthez Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Ever dated before? I find it quite amusing that LP knows better than a person in the situation itself (you) what went on. Does he think women are utterly incapable of evaluating a situation they are in? 1

I know the pressures on men better than she does and why men say the things they do to women though what they really would like to say is very different but pretty obvious.

persevere Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 We, as humans, cannot fight evolution and win. It's simple. Men want sex and to procreate with as many women as possible. We sometimes try to do that in a hurry (survival of species) Women want someone who will provide for them and their offspring. Therein lies the conflict. Throw in a wave of feminism, over the past 40 years and we have our current, convoluted and confused state. I'll get blasted for this, but few animals have the women as the dominate species. Yet many women have been fighting this in recent decades, especially in America. Go back 20,000 years, for example. People didn't live as long. It was very dangerous and hard to even stay alive. The men were the hunters, with little time to "court". Their job was to put themselves in harms way. To put meat on the table. The more robust, more aggressive men were most successful in this and likely to survive. Women were to stay in and raise the offspring. To gather (shop). Flash forward to today. Men still look at a woman as an object of passion. Seriously, why else jump through hoops? The ding bat hottie gets a lot of men. It's not because of her intelligence. Some very smart women, who are not as attractive, stay lonely much more often. Women still look at men for their viability. To hunt and survive. Only now there's a mix, since times are less dangerous. You don't have to be robust, since there are not as many dangers. However, meat head guys still get the women due to the evolutionary carry over. They many be dumb as a hammer and have a crummy job, if at all, yet women still woo all over them. Then complain when they flake. Then there are the Bill Gates types. The 'modern day hunter'. Money brings meat to the table now. Not spears. A complete geek can get a hottie...for a price. So, still, a millineum on: Men want Sex. Women want money (hunters). Of course, this is not exactly so and times have changed. However, for a good base reference perhaps consult an anthropologist.
d'Arthez Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 However, for a good base reference perhaps consult an anthropologist. You could start by doing that yourself. Your whole argument is hogwash. 1
Eternal Sunshine Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Perserve, yep, in academia there are some very smart, single women who are now in their 40s and have never been married. They have minds like steel traps but have unfortunately neglected their looks due to refusal to be superficial. They have let themselves go, from gaining weight to not caring about their clothes, make up or hair. Many admit to having not been asked out on a date in over 5 years.
LittlePrince Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 They have minds like steel traps Oh so they are all corroded, worn out, and rusty.
threebyfate Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 You could start by doing that yourself. Your whole argument is hogwash.As usual, when it comes to mating, human beings remain in the stone age but with everything else, like technology, hygiene, human beings can and have evolved. Do you see anything wrong with this picture? 2
Woggle Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Many men know exactly what we want but it is so hard to find in a woman these days so we just have fun with the wrong ones until that one should come along. Many men wish we could apply a much simpler approach to dating but some women these days make things impossible difficult and drama laden. Having to navigate this kind of drama causes men to not just let go with a woman and be natural. We want a woman we don't have to this with and do you know hard that is?

Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Evolution is a successful biological mutation. Toothpaste and cellphones aren't successful biological mutations. Cellphones might cause biological mutations but they are called cancer.

It takes time for people (men and women) to figure out what they want in a partner and even then, attraction isn't always rational.

She was hot and honestly at the time I thought her penchant for craziness was sexy. It was charming and I didn't realize it would turn into level 10 complete insanity. I certainly got it right on the second try but many men these days want to get it right on the first.
