Being desperate for a job, is a positive thing since it shows you're not lazy and want to feed your own mouth?
Two things most important for most men, having a job and being in love. If you're straved for a job there seems to be nothing about almost crying, since you can't find work....(I'm thankfully employed now though).
however, if you're a guy and you're trying "too hard" to find a relationship, women think of you as clingy or creepy.....
who wants to fear that they're going to grow old alone? I just don't get the double standard......by getting a relationship and dates, it only helps a guys confidence, the opposite, usually hurts it...
meaning by double standard, a woman can seem desperate, but 90% of the guys out there, won't hold it against her.....

Yeah. It's like the cynical anti marriage people from the singles business tell the women "Oh. Be careful dear! If he is DESPERATE then ooooooooooh RED FLAG! RED FLAG! It doesn't mean that he is a good man who wants to settle down (ala Marty). No! Marty is dead or he never existed............If he is desperate then it means that he must be an UNDESIRABLE or else a man like him would be snapped up by now".

And millions of single women who were falsely taught that the singles industry "experts" were out for their own good say to themselves "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, I'D BETTER AVOID HIM" and millions of misguided single women stay single to KEEP PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO THE POCKETS OF THE MERCHANTS WHO WANT TO KEEP YOU SINGLE, MISERABLE AND PAYING.

It's not that women don't want a man that wants a relationship, it's the fact that the last guy I dated (who I really liked but he would show up without calling) and I'd only talked on the phone and had a few dates. I was asked then how many times he could come over a week. I like to date for a while s...l... o...w...l...y.... Do hobbies, hike and cook together but he wanted too much too soon. I've read that 40 days is the psychic number... by then two people should know whether to take it to the next level.
Yes... 40 days... of getting to know each other’s hobbies, likes, dislikes, activity levels and how they handle the quiet times ... me times... contemplation you know

You see, most people, men or women, want to be chosen for who they are, not because somebody has a void he/she is willing to fill with just about anybody.

I didn't say women don't want men who don't want a relationship, but......
well, animals like bears have it a lot easier since when they're in heat (even though we could be talking about the guy = of just wanting to get laid, but anyway).....the female side of it doesn't say, "Oh you're too clingy or moving to fast!", they (animals) don't have to do nearly the work humans do.....
I of course, just don't want a booty call....

For who they are?

Or for what they look like?

That, too. It's part of the whole package. And don't think good looks are necessarily a blessing!

I personally like it when a guy is neither really full of himself, nor too anxious. Yeah, I don't think either extreme is healthy. It makes me nervous if I barely know a man and suddenly he's trying to cling onto me like I'm a life preserver. I think that goes both ways, I think most men don't appreciate it when a woman they hardly know is clingy. They complain about women who try to smother them.
