Why do most women prefer dating men that treat them like their personal possession these days? Has being an outgoing, nice person with personality and spontaniety become boring? Yes, I am basing this on past experiences. I go on one date with a woman and that's usually it. They seem interested, I play my cards right, but havent' dated anyone consistently for a few years now. Ladies, what is it you want? Seriously? Im 26....am I supposed to compromise my dignity to become that Italian asshole you dream of? What's missing here? None of you know me, so don't say it's my attitude. Thanks. It's late and im aggrevated my love life is going about as good as the general climate of this country under Bush. And that's pretty bad in of itself . Now the thing is.......I'm basing what im saying on 50 percent what im seeing too. Because everytime I tell myself, I am fine with who I am, I see couples EVERYWHERE. There's some blond girl with a guy with a piercing. Am I missing something? Why are women saying im "awesome" but f*cking other men? Kat, first off I don't broadcast it to women that im disenchanted with how they are, but I am becoming more open and honest and content with who I am and what I want. That is how I operate. And to say if I am blunt with them and tell them how it is (not that i plan to nor would REALLY need to) the reason it would be a turn-off is because.....well, it's the truth. Women don't like being called on for their actions. They expect men to just put up with it if they're giving us some, but contrary to their popular opinion, men ALSO have brains just like they do. THey don't want to be teased, patronized or screwed around on. You catch me?
