@CurvyWoman sounds like someone got hurt before.

@CurvyWoman sorry, the moral of the story to me isn't "give up," it's you can't win if you don't play and don't have any expectations

@CurvyWoman I'm around your age, I am honest and kind, also have never lied to or hurt anyone in any dating relationships, so there are some good ones of us around. So never give up hope. I haven't. The downside is that usually we are not as flashy, well-dressed, or confident as the kind of men that usually hurt women, so you have to allow for that.

@CurvyWoman The problem is that most men dripping with confidence around single women tend to be players and liars, that's why they act so confident and carefree... They have no real feelings about the situation and feel there is nothing to lose, so they don't get nervous or anxious around women. I'm jus' sayin'. Do and think what you want.

@CurvyWoman You'll have to just take my word for it, but after enough rejection, because men usually have to make the first move so much of the time, whether it's messaging in online dating or approaching a woman in public, even having confidence is pretty hard to do. Esp. if you are at all a sensitive man. And yet, sensitive men make the best partners. So there is the paradox. Women want to meet a man who is confident from the outset, even if he is less likely to be what they need and want for the long haul.

@CurvyWoman And you are overly defensive, also possibly a misandrist. I have as much right to make generalizations about women as you do about men.
