Why? Are you trying to buy a house? If you see a man out in public who's not walking his dog (which is rare), going to work, coming from work, or going to the store for beer, get a picture. I think they're all planted in front of the computer all night. Did you know over 90% of internet traffic is porn? You can have them if you can find them; you won't have any competition from me.

There are good points here.

College classrooms are mostly female.

Where do you see men?

Out in public he is:
1. walking his dog;
2. going to work;
3. coming from work;
4. going to the store for stuff.

They're all planted in front of the computer or Tv all night.

I'd be careful about that no sex before the ring thing. I was on the flip side of this equation. I was engaged to a man who "wanted to save it for marriage." That's not to imply he was a virgin, but he seemed pretty serious about dating to find the wife, and I thought at the time this was laudable, so I was sucked in. Long story very short....his religious fundamental issues were driving this philosophy and as much as he touted it, he did "try," and then would get mad at me because I was "tempting him." In the end, he bailed because he was "concerned for my salvation." Read: that it was always about me although HE seemed to be the one with the religious hangups. Ultimately, he bailed a few weeks before the wedding because marrying me would make me an "adulterer" (I was divorced about 10 years ago, something he knew from early on in the relationship. It only became an issue once he had to step up to the altar). So.....I guess what I'm trying to say is that this could end up biting you in the you know what.

Well...I can tell you that getting away from that was the best thing that ever happened. Don't you know after he bailed, he was calling me, trying to "make us work" again? OMG. NO WAY!!

Anyway....what I"m saying is to make sure the traits you admire in a man are the healthy side of those traits. For instance, someone can be assertive or a go-getter, so it seems in the beginning, but later you realize he is controlling, etc. Just watch for the flip side of what otherwise would be considered good traits.

get involved with the community, you night not meet mr right, or be attracted to him if you do, (this is far more common than not)
but you will do a lot of good.

He-he, it's been proven time and again the exact same traits that attract us initially drive us bonkers soon thereafter...
