I've always been a white knight, looking for women that need rescuing. Alays tipping at windmills. A hopeless romantic. Believe me when I tell you it's not a good strategy. I've learned that dating someone because you feel they need saving is excessively presumptious. It disrespects the other person and puts you in a position of superiority. After all you must be better than they are, or you wouldn't be saving them.
Let's just say I've learned better over time.
intelligent
playful
sexual
funny
open minded
Ditto!
I like my women like I like my coffee:
Cold and bitter
Male stripper cowboy firemen.
Oh yeah baby
Wow, have you ever come across one?? Share please!
@VelociraptorRemy I used to date one.......many, many, many moons ago
Eeeeeeeeeeek! ???????????
@patchoullijulie, @VelociraptorRemy
No. They don't exist in my world.
@Ellatynemouth LOL
@Ellatynemouth we will just have to live vicariously through @patchoullijulie ?
@Ellatynemouth Honestly he looked great but in reality wan't that much of a catch lol
I have so many questions..... Ha ha!
But I realised he can't have been that great if it didn't last long.
@Ellatynemouth Exactly. It was fun for a while but it grew old when I realized how shallow he was. It was fun though..........
@VelociraptorRemy LOL now that is funny. If you could only see the boring life I live right now!!!
If I said female stripper, nurse French maid.... I feel sure someone may be so bold as to label me shallow.....perish the thought....????
You're probably right, perhaps because that's a cliché. I must be careful not to be a hypocrite.
(I'll try to remember not to criticise in future, whenever a man says that.)
Nooooo!!.......Don't do that....Let your hair down...I was mauled by a prudish but well meaning young lady for being shallow when I answered this post with what I thought was a tongue in cheek and humorous response. Just saying even when we are just fooling around, we can be reprimanded....its a minefield sometimes...even on playful posts...???
I agree. It is a minefield. It's a ridiculous minefield too.
Years ago, I once had a guy on a dating site ask me, in all seriousness, if I had a nurse's costume. He knew I wasn't a nurse. Very strange.
So... are you saying you don't have one?
I was kidding...! Lol
My Fireman's outfit is in the cleaners....? ?
Intelligent, witty, politically charged people who love cats and having a good time tbh
Cats are awesome ?
Long hair..beautiful eyes..smart witty..playful..large boobs..small waist..big bum..nice pins...insatiable sexually..oh yes and glasses...
But I'm not fussy though.
So you're quite shallow and only allow for people who meet an unrealistic body expectation? Good luck man ?
Did you play with Barbie dolls as a child
@patchoullijulie Good one! ☺
@Sticks48 Ha Ha...why thank you
But Barbie doesn't wear glasses.
Me too! Haha ?
@Hitchens This is true. Can't believe they missed that one. Nothing sexier than a good set of glasses!!!!!!
No..action man..and 6 million dollar man figure...ye know Steve Austin.
@Hitchens I recall Steve Austin but I'm missing your point? Did they wear glasses? lol
No..because they had eagle eyes..they didn't need glasses...but I do think glasses are sexy on women...not so much on dolls..
@Hitchens Oh...lol... duh of course. Not to mention Superman! You know Clark Kent's glasses never fooled me...I always knew he was Superman!!! I'm just clever like that
You me and Clark knew...don't think anyone else knew he was Superman ..not even that Lex Luther! ?
@Hitchens Only the people that matter knew hee hee
Brains, humour, geekiness. Compassion.
Intelligent nerdy-looking guys.
@OlderMusicGeek add in a dad bod and either grey hair or bald? Oh baby!!!!
I’m a misunderstood sarcastic dude with insomnia. I’m kind with a slightly warped sense of humor... people are often not sure if I’m kidding but when the shit gets serious I can be counted on.
Intelligent, nerdy, passionate, maybe artsy? But not necessary. Oh, and secure - I might put this one to the top of the list. I’m tired of men who can’t handle me because I have my you know what together. It shouldn’t be hard to find someone who’ll respect and adore the fact not once but twice I reset my life - first in Türkiye, second here in TX from nothing- without anyone’s help... tell me about it. I guess being strong and independent means dying alone LOL (somethings wrong with me today- I’m usually more optimistic ?)
Bad boys, apparently. Intelligent, funny and very sexual.
Oh yeah, I should add that to my list too
vulnerable, shy, quirky sense of humor, geeky, intelligent but not arrogant about it...and yeah, I like guys who wear glasses a lot...salt and pepper hair/beard...gets me every time...sigh
@Humanistheathen lol fake glasses are $3 a pair at the drug store...just saying...lol
Artsy types who laugh at my jokes.
We artsy types are generally a little quirky, so we tend to laugh things other people don't laugh . What does that say about your jokes? ?
Doesn't take himself too seriously, adventurous, intelligent, good sense of humor.
Sensitive lover giving and receiving.
Gets me....and is ok with it ..lol
Confident
Witty
Kind
Intelligent
Sexy
open minded
It would appear I have a habit of attracting beautiful, yet, emotionless girls that have a strong codependency on alcohol. My issue is I am a helper / fixer. I'm the guy that will mow your lawn because your mower is broken while mine grows out of control. I would also much rather work on someone's needs more than my own issues. I guess I used to think that a strong and supportive relationship would curve these problems.
Now that I know more about what I am ("thank you" to my wonderful therapist), I know to look out for this type of person as we are likely to attract each other. These relationships only work with a lot of work and communication. I also know, from some heartbreaking experiences, that I cannot help them - they must want the change themselves. I can support them, but they have to find that reason to change.
From these experiences and a lot of self-reflection I am now working on myself.
Thoughtful men who have a pleasant baritone voice, and love to read and fish. An extensive knowledge of the combined works of PG Wodehouse a plus.
I'm obviously going to die alone.
