If a man in his 40s can't get a woman, he is definitely doing something wrong. Typically it is because they are trying to date outside of their league, so busy chasing women they have no hopes of dating while ignoring the women who would be interested. That, or they are unemployed.

I mean... if a good guy cannot even get a simple lunch/drink/walk in the park 'date' with a good woman then what is there to do? Continue to carry on as usual? Really? Isn't THAT the definition of insanity - doing (or being) the same thing and expecting different results?

There ARE women seeking the same things as you, a mature relationship without drama and games. If you're not finding that, something's up, likely with you, not them.

What do you do that constitutes "being yourself"? Have you ever asked a friend or family member for an honest assessment of how you come across to others? Self-perception is one of the biggest issues that may hinder your ability to find someone - thinking you are presenting yourself in a certain way but being perceived as something else entirely from an outsider's view.

I don't think Rabbit wants to try. I think he just wants to come here and complain. There are things he could do to find an environment in his city that's more compatible with his values and interests, but he's not doing that. The ball is in his court, but he's not swinging, he's just sitting there.

Maybe because it's a different culture, you're not able to read people as well, and measure their character.

But tell us about dating in Germany. My niece is living in Berlin, and says dating local people is impossible. The guys seem withdrawn, or something.

Being a gentleman sure does seem to be out of style.

I personally am striving to be more of a gentlemen, have manners, class, treat others with respect.

If that falls out of fashion... well, I just don't give a f.....


Whoops... see, I told you I'm striving.....

Sorry, you're 100% wrong. If you've encountered women like this, you are choosing the wrong types of women. If you honestly believe 99% of women wouldn't kill for a "mature relationship without drama and games," then you have been spending time with flighty, shallow or highly damaged women.

If you're also judging how most men and women by this Board, then you also are in for a shock. The vast majority of people are NOT like the people posting here, most of whom post because they have had a vast succession of failed relationships and are bitter. Or they have had no relationships and are bitter about that. Most people aren't bitter about the opposite sex, or if they are, they hide it exceedingly well.
