This is more accurate...

girl: "So what do you do?"
You: "I'm a pimp"
Girl: "what do you do for fun?"
you: "look good, sell good, and keep a flesh Fleetwood"

I agree, 100%.

It happens.

A man who's only interest is his woman is usually controlling, insecure and smothering.

Healthy women don't want a man like that.

Yes, yes, and more yes. Your right on the money. This began with the OP stating that he had a hard time approaching women. I said, it's always hard to approach someone when you want something from them. My suggestion was that he try to find out what HER wants or interests are, and then try to be the Prince Charming that give's them to her. And, when I say give them to her, I mean, show interest it HER interests. But, I'm sure the OP has his own interests, as well. So, you are very right.

Some good stuff here if one is openminded enough to heed the advice. Just1fan: I got your meaning right away and yeah it is correct. Women like to talk about themselves. This is how I got to know all the women that passed through my life. It helped me make a mental picture of what each woman was really like. My interests are as follows: photography, I am a member of a local art association and the photo arts group within. Every two weeks we have a meeting or a shoot somewhere. I also do grave rubbings, work out 3 nights a week, and regularly attend ahl hockey games with some cousins. Plus I go out on my own photo shoots.

Thank you, kind Sir. In all fairness, everyone would rather talk about their own wants and interests; not just women. And, with that said, we're talking about when you're meeting and approaching women, not when being in a relationship with them. But, either way, I guess you have to balance it out. In other words, the more she likes your wants or interests, you give them to her. But, if she's not so interested in them, the best way to keep the ball rolling, is to jump back on HER wants and interests. But, you FIRST have to discovery, or figure out, what HER interests are. When you meet someone, focus on HER. For example, her hair, eyes, face, toes, personality, and etc. Next, focus on HER wants and interests that are not connected to her body, e.g. children, job, car, hobbies, and etc. Again, focus on your wants and interests, only if that's what SHE wants, i.e. give the situation what it calls for.

I agree. As others have previously stated, a good balance is best.

I will try to apply the information given here and hope I start meeting women to date. I will update should this occur. Thank you. One other thing. It is a shame that there are people here who are so angry, bitter, and hateful. People give them advice but they refuse to listen. As I said it is a shame.
