You haven't seen a woman who was heavy or had bad skin, crooked teeth, excessively plain looks and no sense of style and imagined that she could be the poster child for some modern form of old maidhood? It's not mean or particularly judgmental. It's just what you could surmise based on what you've observed. Men are very visual, remember?

Who hasn't wondered what these men must be like in real life? I actually like one of my coworkers quite well. I'm the same age as his parents, for gosh sakes. I look at everyone and wonder what makes them tick. So what if I've pegged two guys in my office as plain and virginal? It's probably a good guess.

Honestly, I don't. If I did, it would probably signify that I need to do something constructive with my time than make inferences about random people.

Why can't these men find women to marry them? Or even get laid?
Reason why my misogynist rardar is usually on REALLY high. Even towards women who also hate women.

For guys you meet who aren't women-hating, they could also be players or two-timers.

A guy who's worth my time talking to, usually is a bit more broad minded/considerate. They usually are pro-active/productive with their lives.

Well it's best you didn't then, since the thought police will get you every time.

Yes, it had occured to me, it went something like this..."I think he is looking at me...oh, he is, I'll just kinda look at him for a sec and smile a little...uh, maybe if I'm somewhat friendly-ish he'll come over and talk to me..nope just looked like a deer in the headlights and exited stage right".
I think I'm just too beautiful...its scary for them ya know?
Not really, I'm kidding. I suppose people just make assumptions about other people. It IS scary being in that position, and the expectations and the split second decisions...I think what it means is, the only ones who GET what they are interested in, are the ones who are overly confident, to the point of arrogance, or the ones who are almost expecting the worst? I don't know, I'm not a guy.
Me? I guess I'm a little old fashioned. I am not really aggressive, I still think that guys who are REALLY interested will make the first move.
Weired dichotomy isn't it?
Maybe instead of posting my weired dilemmas here, I'll just keep wondering about it, and SOMEDAY when I'm ready, I'll do the approaching...What a concept,*gasp, its like I have a real life away from the computer!
