I really don't know where you guys get this. Most women like gentlemen.

I don't know where others get it, but I get it from experience.

Lots of experience, in fact.

For example? I'm curious what made you think that.

Only really immature women, P_F. You're a great guy. You can certainly find a quality woman who likes gentlemen. Personal question you don't have to answer here, but do think about it, and I could be wrong: Are the women you're looking to date VERY young and/or very "all that"/Girls Gone Wild-esque? We women are super hot for gentleman once we grow up a little.

I think as you get older women change because they keep getting crapped on, so at some point they realize that tbey were going about it all wrong, or they just keep telling themselves that it'll all work out and something even worse happens to them.

Or they become bitter.
Yep. It annoys me really. They shun good people for years then suddenly decide they want a real breadwinner when they wanna have kids. Sorry sister but you should have boarded the ship when it was still in port.

Really? You need only attend a university to see flagrant examples of women, demure or wild, going after the cool bad boy instead of the quiet calm type.

I'm in a master's program so I know what goes on in a university. Even the arty-nerdy boys have lady friends.

You are a self-fulfilling prophecy, however.

Right. Exactly. If you guys are going for the college girls, well, you really are not going to see a huge pool of serious-minded, mature women who want a quiet relationship where they get to watch Chiller's Top 13 Countdown on Friday with a nice Chardonnay next to a mature gentleman.

I mean seriously. You're going for 19-year-olds and you're judging the whole female gender on how a young person, who in no way (male or female!) wants to settle down, acts?

No, they grow up. And it's no different for the guys. They "shun" "good" (read: stead, steady and boring, to a 19-year-old) people and then eventually (not suddenly) grow up and want something different out of life than a 19-year-old does.

What is so difficult to understand here? And what's the lesson? (Hint: It involves changing your dating pool. Oh, wait, I just gave it away.)

I mean seriously, you guys are trying to smash with 19- or 20-year-olds and you're shocked that you're not getting hits? Think about it, fellows! I'm not being insulting. I'm sure that you're all very attractive, etc. But are you 19 and wild? I doubt it...because if you were, odds are you wouldn't be complaining about girls who just want to go crazy and do bad things.

Hah, sure thing. Perhaps I'll start berating women when I talk to them, that should work, and I would almost enjoy it simply by knowing I'd be proving you wrong. Hope your master's is going well.. ah shoot, there I go again, being nice to people.

JerZ, yes, considering I go to college that's basically my only option.
