MrNate 2.0 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I decided to start this up as a little place to ask questions about the general behaviors of men, big or small. In romance, life etc. If you have any big or small questions pertaining to men, dating men or a general behavior, you can ask it here, and I (we) will be glad to oblige. I also implore fellas of different ages/backgrounds to offer insight as well. However, if you are toxic in nature towards women this may not be the thread for you. As a note, I will be pretty frank and upfront with my answers. Sugar coating will be kept to a minimum. But of course, the goal of the thread is to simply give you a more broad perspective of the male psyche. So with that being said, the discussion is now officially open. 11
Author MrNate 2.0 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 List the top five traits that men look for in women. Sure. 1. Looks 2. Personality 3. A sense of humor 4. Nurturing 5. Passion in something (Or a zest for life) To expand on #4 I've always found it extremely attractive how a woman has the capacity to calm a man's soul down, from something as simple as laying his head on her lap. Telling him everything is going to be ok, and him believing it. It's revitalizing. They say behind every strong man is a strong, if not stronger woman. I could agree with that. 4

This would be mine, although when it comes to "personality" it depends, as it's such a broad concept - and the personality I would be attracted to, could be vastly different from the one you are. Kinda the same with sense of humor to a very small extent. I would like to fit sexually open/likes lots of sex on the list somewhere, but I think that would be a bridge too far 3

They say men think about sex too much. I say women do it more. 2

shexy Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I'm pretty new to this board, and just got out of a 3 year relationship, and NOT dating right now or planning to date any time soon. However, in the future, maybe in a few months, I might try OLD dating again. What are good tips from guys about the profile? Not the pictures, just the written profile? Do most guys really read them? 1

However, in the future, maybe in a few months, I might try OLD dating again. What are good tips from guys about the profile? Not the pictures, just the written profile? Do most guys really read them? I'd say most guys will in fact read them. In all honesty, I've yet to see a woman who had a problem getting messages from potential suitors. I'll just level with you about the written profile. Most men will go by your picture first, and that will carry a bit more weight than the profile. Men are pretty visual, so it's nothing out of the ordinary. You probably won't have to get fancy with the profile at all. I'd actually say that it's more on the men to have a more complete detailed profile, since OLD is much more in a woman's favor than a man's. The ones who actually converse with you about your profile may be the ones worth considering (provided they meet your standards). The ones who say 'hey lil mama, let's meet up'... probably not so much. Basically, a standard one will do. You shouldn't have any issues receiving inquiries. 2

However, in the future, maybe in a few months, I might try OLD dating again. What are good tips from guys about the profile? Not the pictures, just the written profile? Do most guys really read them? Yeah, some of us read profiles - I personally enjoy reading them. Don't put too much negatives in there or constantly reference drama, weirdos or bad messages. It makes it harder for the ones who do read to message you as you seem confrontational (general you). Would be more, but I'm on the phone and going out to see dad. Happy Fathers day!!!! 3
carhill Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 What are good tips from guys about the profile? Not the pictures, just the written profile? Keep it simple, real and positive. Situational humor can help. Do most guys really read them? All the women I had LTR's with, including my exW, came from the realm of reading profiles and you betcha I read every one, in detail, often more than once. Words can paint pictures as powerfully as a photograph. 3

sweetkiwi Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 How could I knock you down for something I do? Why do some men knock some women down for some things they themselves do? And, what do you think of women who are jealous of other women? 1
Imajerk17 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I'm pretty new to this board, and just got out of a 3 year relationship, and NOT dating right now or planning to date any time soon. However, in the future, maybe in a few months, I might try OLD dating again. What are good tips from guys about the profile? Not the pictures, just the written profile? Do most guys really read them? As simply as possible for me now: Include one full body shot (you in a dress or jeans is fine). Write your text so you leave in some questions for someone to ask you when you write them. AVOID pictures of you getting too palsy-walsy with other guys. (WHY do women do this?) 2
carhill Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I burp. How many points does this knock me down?? My exW farted and burped and I was married to her for ten years. Part of being human, in my book anyway. 2
sweetkiwi Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 My exW farted and burped and I was married to her for ten years. Part of being human, in my book anyway. So I shouldn't suffer gut wrenching pain keeping in farts and burps around my SO? (Not that I do anyway.....but I at least use my cutest voice to say excuse me):D:p.
carhill Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Why do some men knock some women down for some things they themselves do? That's an extension of 'do as I say but not as I do' used by some parents with their kids. I think there's a fancy name for that but I just label it as hypocritical. And, what do you think of women who are jealous of other women? I'm skeptical of women who deride other women and have difficulty forming healthy same-gender relationships. I consider them OK for casual friendships but am wary regarding anything more intimate. 2

Would be more, but I'm on the phone and going out to see dad. Happy Fathers day!!!! I strongly agree with this. Nothing is more of a turn off than negative. Statements like, "I"m not here for casual sex". Take your time to write your profile, don't have it too long otherwise guys might not want to read them since most men who are actually interested in dating will have to read many profiles. Your first few lines will be most important so whatever you write need to be catching the men's eye. Also if you have pics make sure they are recent and updated at least every 6 months with full body shots and close ups. If you have only head shots some people might think you're hiding rest of your body. 2
Ripnet Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I burp. How many points does this knock me down?? I don't mind at all even if a woman farts. What turns me off is snorting. I don't snort so I Don't expect women to snort when they laugh.

Write your text so you leave in some questions for someone to ask you when you write them. AVOID pictures of you getting too palsy-walsy with other guys. (WHY do women do this?) I wouldn't do that...it irritates me when guys do it, so never would. I wonder when people do that if they think it makes them look desireable? To me, it's a turn off, but a lot of people do it 2
