I am intimidated because I know I have nothing to offer you because you prefer a man who can treat you to the lifestyle you are accustomed too.
And I'm a 3 and you are a 10 so I should be ashamed of expecting you to want me.

But you haven't met me so how do you know what my criteria is? There are a lot of assumptions there i hear. You should get to know a women before assuming to know what she may think of you. You may be pleasantly surprised at how lucky you could get...

Don't tell me! Microphones planted in the men's washroom. That's all we talk about in there.

Sometimes you just know and then sometimes its from word of mouth of his friend ect.
lol I hope nothing more goes on in those washrooms....

Your brave... i prefer to be asked but don't mind asking if i know im for sure going to get somewhere. Most of the time im in doubt though, and rejection kills me.

I understand what you mean. Shy is so cute... But i wish it didn't mean a certain lack of confidence in some areas. It is actually harder to ask a guy out who you know is interested in you because you can't appear to eager or clingy/pushy to early otherwise it turns them off... then when you give them time to kinda come around on their own terms you realize that time never comes....

Please do not apologies. Next time you see a girl you like, approach! You just never know where it could lead and your not loosing out on anything just taking a chance

Me to. And also the feeling of indirect rejection. Cause you always wonder, was it a lack of confidence on his end or was it something i did/or the way i am to prevent him from progressing? Know what i mean?

True confidence comes with experience in almost any activity. Bit of a conundrum there however, do you want the person who has that much practice? It might indicate a serial dater. So your second part of your reply is true for the guys you meet. Something to keep in mind.

(Your Response to Raena77) So your feelings are not any different than mine. Except I will admit that women are vary difficult for me to read re: interest. Being of a logical bent I miss subtle cues. It takes something on the order of a 2X4 applied to the side of the head to get me to notice body language.

(Your reply to max's mamma) There is no indirect rejection. There is two ships passing in the night. The lights grow brighter as they approach, but no hails were exchanged, and eventually the lights grow dim as each continues on its previous heading.

My standards arent that high. Geesh, I believe a monkey could be taught to wash a dish or do a load of laundry. Or for God sake saute some onions. I asked the ex dh to watch the onions while I answered the door when I came back they were little tiny pieces of charcoal. And he was a card carrying member of MENSA!

Irritating things:

He never throws me a compliment on how I look. Yes I know men find this dangerous territory..but if you know I've spent 45 minutes on my hair, makeup and dressing up, please for the love of God SAY SOMETHING nice to me. That is all I ask.

He doesn't listen to me. I do not run on and on about something, I'm not that big of a talker. But when I do need to talk I tell him upfront I need him to listen to something important. Think he might get a clue? Nope. His eyes glaze over after two minutes. Makes me feel forgotten and unimportant.

Sex. Our positions are reversed from the usual complaints. I want it, he doesn't. I can barely get a damn hug out of him. I have to hug first, kiss first. I am tired of it.

Actually I think after writing this I can do way better.

Hey, my hubi's glaze over after 30 secs. This,after it takes him 60secs to recover from whatever he is reading on the Net to ''concentrate'' on me! Typical introvert (am excluding the nice ones who do listen )..

[fleetiebelle]

One of my peeves is when I'm justifiably upset about something, and he dismisses it with an "aw, is it that time of the month?" That makes me homicidal.
