I didn't say that was my opinion. I said the claim could be made just as easily as its counterpart.

NOBODY? EVER? Really? That seems so...absolute.

I think I see the source of the problems you are having with your love life.

We all know life isn't fair. I try not to compare my life to anyone else's. Lots of people have it better than me and lots have it worse. I'm single right now and I sometimes feel it's unfair when I see others getting married and having kids when I want that so badly and it keeps escaping me. But who knows what their life is really like. And comparing your life to a celebrities isn't such a great idea.

a lot of claims can be made but typically i see men going for women that either out of their league attractive wise. they goes for those types first b/c they don't think she should have to 'settle' with a lesser type, even if the lesser type isn't that bad. they only ends up settling for the lesser type of woman b/c it's a last resort but that's not what the aimed for in the beginning.

Women "settle" but only when they absolutely must.

Men don't settle. They either take what they can get or they opt out.

Why do men believe this? Do you guys have sisters, cousins, female friends who go for players? I've never known any women who go for players. Not now, not ever. Were your fathers players, is that how they attracted your mothers?

Haha. OK. It was a bit exaggerated.

What I meant was that people don't think, "Oh. That guy/gal is really sweet and they really like me. Maybe I'll date them for a while even though I'm not crazy into them."

That kind of generosity. People do it when it comes to other things in life.

Interesting you bring this up. My father actually has 'no game', is socially retarded, is in no way fun or exciting, and is really short. But he's smart and interesting, had a stable decent career and is really a good generous man.

Based on what I've seen in life, I don't know how he would ever manage to land a woman these days. I can't even imagine him approaching a woman. But he got my mother who is actually quite social, pretty engaging, probably pretty attractive back in her day, and one of the hardest working people I know. Difference in culture and time. Even so, I feel like he was really lucky.

My old man was quite the player when he was in between marriages. I don't think you want to know the kind of crap he put my mom through before having me and having to settle down. He became a good man because he had to. he's now in his mid 50s , happy, and married 3 times.

I've known several men who played a lot of women when I was in my 20s. They hit on many women, dressed like they were still teenagers, got into fights, went in-and-out of jail, and these women would cling to these guys like they were the last man on Earth. Some were successful, some were addicts, some were average women.

I don't associate myself with these guys anymore, but they were thuggish and total players, and many women couldn't get enough of these guys.
