Perhaps because many guys are 'skanky sluts' and have no to little standards other than attractive and puts out.

It's understandable to me that gals don't contribute to making a relationship fun and engaging when guys don't set a standard that she does. People in my experience try to get what they want with as little effort as possible.

LOL - great post by the OP. BTW, that reminds me of something I once read, that comics in their private lives can be quite dark. They notice small things that they can then turn around and present humorously.

I'll extend this to friends. I'm also one of those people that others refer to as having a "spark." Friends call me up and say "You're so bubbly. You're just what I need for a pick-me up." I've also gotten from people that I bring up the most interesting of conversations.

I go out of my way to steer away from boring stuff. BUT, I do wish sometimes people would carry their weight a little more and be interesting instead of relying on me to entertain them.

It's not the biggest problem, but I've started to just steer away from people that I feel don't carry their own weight. I don't want to be the one walking away from a conversation thinking "wow, that person is sooo boring." Plus, it makes me feel like a bad person. So, I just seek out better company.

I have what I call "a spark", some people have it, most do not. I can pretty much make women laugh, but I have to be there with them and I've been told numerous times I am goofy, humourous, crazy and they always laugh and sometimes flirt with me.

That's all good and fun, but sometimes I need to "recharge". The problem is I see women on line and irl complain and expect to have a guy that is fun "all the time". First of all, that's unrealistic. Second, I feel like a puppet and a court jester that has to do tricks for the queen to keep her entertained. I have had women tell me to entertain them as well as text me with the first phrase being "I'm bored". My response is what do you want me to do about it? I mean, I don't expect women to entertain me or keep me entertained so why should men have to do this for women?
Hmm... I love that my husband can make me laugh - even when I'm mad at him (or trying to stay mad at him!) but I LOVE it when I make him laugh! And I love that we laugh together all the time. You just need to find the right person - someone that doesn't expect you to be "on" all the time.

Yes. Can't be with a man who doesn't get my humor and vice versa, but there's a time and a place.

Ha! No, I'm not single. You sound like a riot - but better you don't find someone that just wants to mooch off your circus and provides you with just as much fun.

Hopefully, you don't encounter this with friends like I do

Thanks angelcake,

Anyways, that's exactly what this thread was about, but you are right it's not just about women, my friends have done it too. That's why I do need some "down time" to recharge my batteries.

women can be boring, men can't, thats why "nice girls" can get a boyfriend but "nice guys" can't get a girlfriend
