I seem to have a minute problem with girls for some reason. Most of the time they're only interested in me for "fun" and it has put quite a dent in my self esteem. I'd like to find out where I'm going wrong, you know? Even lately, as soon as I mention to a girl that I'm not so interested to rushing into things, I never hear from her anymore. Is it just a college thing or something?

you're lucky that you have that ----that's one of the main 'things' women look for


they think you've rejected them

No, by fun I mean I've been used countless times as a piece of @$$. And I only reject people who deserve it. I'll give just about anyone a chance.

I don't know. I kind of wish girl like me for me and not the way I look. Even though I'm a Physics and Math nerd :)

maybe the 'right' one will recognize and appreciate both--as you'll find what you need in her----some men have a hard time getting any woman to even talk to them for any length of time, at least, about more important things

sometimes the more 'attractive' women are also more sensitive to rejection, maybe because they don't get rejected too often----I've seen some women leave college and go home after being 'rejected'

I've see a lot of very envious guys standing in line to smack you upside the head. :-p


Seriously though, is it possible you're jumping into bed too quickly? If they're just interested in your @$$, they won't stick around if they think they'll have to build a relationship first.

Well I'm fine with rejection. Up until about 10th grade I was the weirdo wearing all black, long hair and never talked. So, I am quite familiar with rejection.

Eh, I know what you're saying. But, I was jerked around by this girl for quite some time. I really did like her so I did anything I could do to be with her. I finally realized she was just a c*n7 and pretty much used to hell out of me.

this used to happen to me too--I'd come back from some class, and my roommate (dorm) would say there's some girl waiting in the room--"who?" ---he wouldn't know either---


college is full of 'light' impressions

Yeah that happened to me too quite a bit. But then my alarm would go off and I'd wake up...

What I look for is compassion, loyalty, respect, sense of humor, patience, smarts. I like it when men open the door, give flowers all that old fashioned stuff. I guess it shows some sort of respect to be treated like a "lady". Women love men who can listen without giving advice and just understand and validate the womans feelings. I like men who are not afraid to get dirty, who can be fearless if needed and who can fix stuff... Just my random two cents.

I asked my wife (she's a girl/woman) and she said it doesn't matter what they look for, they don't always get it.

I like men who are not absolutely straight, because they are gang, or gender discriminaters, I don't like 'Absolute' homosexuals because they are way of too different, closed men fit best to my definition. Bisexuals seem cool.

By the way I am a woman, Bobbie is my name

Pick me!

I'm a lot like that, especially if it will make a girl happy. Because I'm happy when I make you happy.

Counterintuitively, girls are not attracted to guys who will do whatever it takes to make them happy. Oh they might be at first, but they often end up losing respect for a guy who's too much of a cow-tow, and if they don't completely lose interest in them, they may just treat them like a pet.

No, the key to women's hearts is not to try to please, but to be who you are.

I don't mean it the way you think. I'm far from whipped and I like to create an even balance of courtship in spontaneous and fun ways.

Girls attribute more significance to the size of his sausage, women to the limit of his Visa.

Where the latter tends to vary inversely with former.

For example, my credit card limit is woefully inadaquate.

Symmetry suggests that a discussion of what men look for in women might be relevant.

I notice however that the only threads that are considered by the database to be relevant to this topic suggest a theme that women are evil?

[tex] \text{women}=\text{time} * \text{money}[/tex] women need time and money
[tex]\text{time}=\text{money}[/tex] time is money
[tex]\text{money}=\sqrt{\text{evil}}[/tex] money is root of evil
thus
[tex]\text{women}=\text{money}^2=\text{evil} [/tex]

Wait until the PF Sisters see this. I think cristo might want to think twice before entering any threads alone. :biggrin:

I just want to find a man that won't mind me getting old. Sooner or later it's going to happen. At the rate I am banging my self up, it's going to be sooner. :frown: A friend of mine said something the other day that was depressing, but true. Right now you look in the mirror and think you look bad, but figure if you get a good night's sleep you'll look better tomorrow. Then comes the day when you realize that this is how you look now, and it's never going to get better. :eek:

Well put, and quite true. Being yourself and NOT letting people(men, women, children, small animals) walk over all over you is a good thing. Boundaries are important. Like doors that never open...
