I agree. I'm not the kind of man you're looking for. But other women would be interested in dating a man like me. I know this because I've met them.

Calipoppy is seeking dominant men. The sort of men that enjoy the hunt and won't value women that ask them out. Men that prefer traditional gender roles. Those just aren't my kind of guys. The sort of men that perked my interest haven't been like that at all. Nothing bad came out of giving clear signals or just asking them out.

You can't pigeonhole all men. They have personalities and they're real people.
Exactly...IMO, monemi said it 100% perfectly

So, exactly what do you actually have to offer a woman?

LOL. I said North America because I assumed the "NS" in your location field stood for Nova Scotia.

I was trying to pre-emptively prevent the "but I'm not from the US I'm from Canada" retort.

I mean to say "made the USA great" in my previous post.

A laid back, fun relationship. As little stress as is possible in this life.

Not all women need to be protected. I can handle my life and all it's trappings just fine and don't need someone else to 'protect' me from things.

Regardless, I think a couple should protect each other. To me, that's just putting a lot of pressure on a man to be some idealized manly concept and that's just wrong.

Oh, I know quite a number of women who would think that you are a "catch".

They have dated guys like you and the selling points were....

He's probably too lazy to cheat
He's too scared of women to cheat on me
He will usually do what I want to do
I make more money than he does so he isn't going anywhere
He's 'easygoing' (read as: he's a pushover)

I actually mean "protection" as in a man who cherishes you enough to protect you from harm.

I can't ask you out, much less protect you, if I'm unaware of your existence. I do research at work. I don't want to be doing research after work, trying to find eligible women. I can approach a woman that I know is available, even if there's high risk of her rejecting me. I can't approach a woman unless I know that she exists. Women need to meet men halfway, to give them some inkling of their existence.

This is such a silly comment. You never notice attractive women? If you notice them then they exist. Men tend to notice me without me having to do anything special to get their attention.

If a man does not have enough interest in women to even notice their existence then how is that man a catch? This is the type of man who will NEVER notice that his woman has on a cute outfit or is wearing sexy lingerie for his pleasure. Basically, a man who does not appreciate the beauty of a woman. So why would this type of man be attractive to women?
