A lot of guys who post on this forum don't see it that way. You have no idea the battles that have raged here, over that issue. 50+ page threads, ceaseless threads that suck the entire membership into their vortex, like a Black Hole. Yes, DistinguishedGent, it is the Topic From Hell, the Godzilla of topics! (Cue scary, dramatic soundtrack)

Not every male poster here is as distinguished and gentlemanly as I am. So that is something to keep in mind.

Yes I'm the same actually and agree but Ruth's right unfortunately many blokes on here make too big a thing of it and think by picking up the cheque they're signing their bloody life away or something!

With many people there's too much much emphasis and analysis on " who should do that or this " etc, instead of going with the flow and just going out and enjoying yourself!

For the record, I'm not omitting myself from the equation. I have, of course, elected to end relationships. Of course, I cannot say for certain, that those were the correct choices and that the relationships that I ended wouldn't have worked out better than relationships I continued. I can just say that I'm content with my choices.
And how do you choose which women to approach romantically and which to not approach romantically?

Some women i met seem to not be about much, they dont act like they are into it but seem to be being the one that brings positive energy to the table. Some of these women seem to not be trying hard enough or they come with an excuse as to why they simply cant choose a man

hmm, does that sound like she used me ?

Awww. Once again you think you know me better than me.


No sense having a conversation with someone like that.

Okay, well, you're free to stop conversing at any time.

I guess I'll see you over in that other thread where you're still responding to me. Looking forward to it!

I'm not being funny here but how old are you?

Maybe they've only matched your level of involvement? Meaning they feel you've not done enough?
