Yep, there are paranoid people out there...I'm very very blessed not to really have known many in my lifetime...but they are for sure out there. At least if the internet is any indication!
I just see people who just don't want to get hurt.
My take: if she's on the fence, this means I am not all that and can never satisfy her. Move on. Someone's going to like me more.
this.
you have to realize that with everything you do in life, there's an opportunity cost to be paid. if i choose to work for company A, by definition i've chosen not to work for any number of other companies.
the same goes for dating - if you choose to spend your time pursuing one chic, that time is obviously not being spent pursuing other women, who might well give you what it is you seek. i realize you can't always tell right away but your goal should be to as quickly as possible get to a point where you can ascertain this for yourself. time is of the essence
it took me a while to figure this out for myself but now i'm much more focused and to-the-point with things and i think it's an improvement.
I just watched another 'estrogen' movie where the man perseveres despite all obstacles to get the woman he feels is 'the one.' I wonder.....is this Hollywood or would real men really persevere?
There is no such thing as the 1.
There are 65.billion people on the planet, you can haves hundreds or even thousands of the "1's"
To answer your question, no I would not persevere and yes, it's Hollywood.
If people are interchangeable to you, you certainly have a point.
At first, when you know nothing about them at all, they most certainly are all interchangeable. It's only later after you dig deeper that they cease being interchangeable.
So true about these chick flicks. The azz kissing guy in these movies (I resist calling them films) is always a member of the lucky sperm club. He could likely bed another woman by sundown if he wanted - YET, he will spend weeks grovelling and being insulted! Spare me this nonsense.
The real harm that these movies do, is to the 80% of men who women have little or no interest in. Until they get some real world experience, these guys take this stupidity to heart, long after they've been friend zoned or the police have been called.
Among guys, a little razzing or insults is only part of the culture and not to be taken seriously.
In contrast, for women, finding Mr. Right is a serious endeavor and men should understand that they will get nasty very quickly, if you are obstructing their view, even in the slightest. This is not a come on!
Was this on TV today, or at the movies? If it was on TV, was it some movie where at the end he goes to this woman's house and claims she put a spell on him when she was 10, and she needs to undo it? LOL I just saw the ending, but it was clearly one of those movies where he chased all over after this girl. Even paid a huge amount for a plane ticket at the end to get on the plane to look for her. And of course, he won her.
What would be fun is to go back in 5 years and see whether he thought that he'd won.

I assume that people are honest and forthright, not interchangeable.
However, Sierra may be right occasionally. The "only" problem for men is that a lot of bad things can happen to an average guy in the 24 times that this isn't the case for the one time that it is.
Also, in that 25th case, men should realize that this could just be the start of your problems. Some women love having a man around to manipulate and he's just passed the initiation!
I have a lot of friends who "want a guy to fight for them". Then I wonder...fight what? What insurmountable obstacles are in your life that are keeping you from dating someone? Stick up for them?
A lot of high schools are like that. I went to one. Never went back.
