I couldn't even get upset because I was flattered that she thinks I'm a good catch who hasn't been caught yet. Still funny that a women can be single without anyone thinking she is a lesbian but a man is expected to be with someone??
Maybe she was dropping a hint?
A bold (maybe insulting) question like that invites a bold response...I would have asked her if she would give me her panties before she goes home.

Did you tell her that you're still just waiting for Ms. Right to come along!?!!?

I wonder though, what people will think when they see my cousin (female) & I living together. Indeed, they will wonder if we are lesbians.

Although, I'd prefer people not think that (because it so extremely far from the truth - 100% heterosexual)...

Perhaps it will keep the creepy men away

Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my CD buddies and to my close friend STT Resident.

No one should have to be alone for the holidays....that's why they make "friends"....LOL

Ahhh, my exciting New Years Eve...hanging out with friends (guys in the living room - couldn't make out a drunken word they said & the girls in the dining room crocheting). Yup, you heard my correctly....when did my life come down to crocheting on New Years?? Oh, well...at least it provides some amusement for others

It happens. Older women see a young man who seems to be a good catch that has not been caught and wonders why. They have NO idea how bad the dating scene is today so they assume that, since EVERYONE MUST want to be married, you must be gay.

You may also dress nicely and be polite. I get that sometimes because I dress very well, something bit too above where I am but I look great so it's ok.

Anyway, just ignore it and make sure she doesn't set you up with a subpar woman who needs rescuing from her past errors of judgement, including baby #3 from thug #2. Heck, it might be *better* if she thinks you play for the other team.

Of course, in nearly all of the Third World, a man of means would have nothing to fear from marriage. In many places, he can also have multiple wives and easily afford it, so if he's unhappy with one, he has options.

North American born women, think along the same lines, but are more subtle in their approach, since they don't want to scare you off. They nearly all have needy friends they want to set you up with.


Regarding Phillipino women, this is quite true particularly with Western men. They seem to think that because you are Western that you MUST be rich. They want to marry you in part because she can then get you to support her family. This sounds kinda nasty but it's consider part and parcel- you get a loving and domestic wife while her family obtains needed financial support. Basically, just being out in the open about what marriage was for centuries.

One warning though- many Phillipino women are notorious for domestic violence as well as running the household.

As for other women, Notaredneck is quite correct- they think that it's the duty of a man to pay for them. They squake that it's not true but:

1. Women vote more often for candidates that support social spending than men do.
2. Women demand that men buy them drinks in the bar.
3. In polite society, he or she who invites the other pays (unless they split) while women want the man to pay regardless.
4. Women will sometimes offer to pay and then get angry when it's accepted
5. Women push for alimony far more often than men (do not confuse this with receives) and indeed many men will not ask for alimony or are shamed if they do so.
6. Also regarding divorce, a woman may divorce a man for no reason and claim they can still be friends yet will still seek his assets, home, children, and fure income- some friend.

Anyway, best of luck there. I'm outta this thread since I know the knives are being sharpened as I speak and I'm trying to not waste too much time getting into arguements with irrational people. Just keep you head down and remember that you are the prize, do not settle for anyone, and NEVER marry them or have kids with them!

Nope, creepy men are kept away by:

* not giving them enough notice to go out
* being cold and rainy outside when a date is planned
* asking them about naked twister
* sending them photos with you wearing sunglasses
* asking them questions about their job, where they live etc

AAH..Alas the Prince has returned to the village..on the back of his trusty Raccoon.

I do wonder how he made it back, what with all the fires burning in parts of the village right at the moment..In any event, he made it...
