it's subjective. what men like varies.

3 dates to warm up to a person? yeah that is a long time. if a girl doesn't have a fun personality on the first date, or if we don't have some chemistry, then I typically won't ask her for a second date.

btw, emotional and cold are two totally different issues.

I think you should find somebody who likes cold and unemotional women. There are people like that, out there.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. How much do you really know about a person after three dates anyway? Especially if any of those dates was dinner and a movie. Not much interaction going on during a movie or while eating a meal. If you're goal is a long term relationship then don't compromise your standards for anyone. Eventually you'll meet someone who is right for you, but you have to get out there.

As to what most men like. Well, who cares? Don't try to morph yourself into what they want if it isn't who you are. Be yourself and find somoene who is a good fit for you. May take awhile, but it's better than settling for someone who you really aren't compatible with.

I'm not even that warm after living with the other person. But I'm a man so it is seen as more acceptable for me to not express any emotions. I've still had some make the complaint.

This is what you've been told by JERKS on several occasions. Really, what nerve!

Okay, now I wasn't there and I don't know the specifics, but in my experience, I've found that any man who has the nads to say that to a woman is somehow intimidated, frustrated, or threatened by her. They can't figure you out, so they have to slap a negative label on you.

The day will come when a man appreciates your personality. He won't see it as cold. He'll see it as self-possessed.

Don't go changin'.

ah, the feminist answer for everything.

car won't start? it is intimidated and threatened by you.

train running late? it is intimidated and threatened by you.

Not really. Telling a woman she seems "cold" is an extraordinarily rude thing to do, especially within the first three dates. How dare some guy who doesn't even know her say something like that? He's either a jackarse in general, or he feels compelled to lash out for some reason. Unless she laughed upon seeing a kitten get run over by a truck, there is no justification for it.

So I see it as a self-defense mechanism. "She's not fawning over me? She's not batting her lashes at me? She's not giggling with merriment and glee simply because she's in my oh-so-wonderful presence? SHE MUST BE COLD."

And not for nothing, but in my own experience, it usually comes from toads who get annoyed upon learning, one way or another, that they aren't going to get any physical action that evening.
