I meant how guys rated themselves. If many ND women actually think the points about looks & dressing are important is another issue, but I suspect they are not that important.


It's bit shallow if you ask me ( but that's human nature ) - clothes don't maketh the man. If you want a smart trophy BF look elsewhere :lol:


Not really. When I talk about clothing, I'm more referring to being CLEAN and wearing clothes that are appropriate and not ripped, smell, stained, and fit reasonably well.

You have no idea how many guys meet women on a first date and show up looking like they just rolled out of bed, with stained or ripped t-shirts, unwashed messy hair, and smell like they haven't taken a shower in a week. That's not being shallow, that's basic hygiene and good manners. It shows social awareness that they realize they need to at least look halfway presentable.


That happens in comedy movies only.

[Back to reality] Most guys have the common sense to be well groomed on a first date.


When was the last time you dated men?
.

Please stop discounting the things women say. We are the ones with the actual experience dating men.



Nope, but I have seen male friends, siblings, relatives going to dates....everywhere.


The “that” in “that happens only in movie” is the “many” part of your sentence. I don’t believe it’s that common in real life out of general population.

Anyway, please stop doing drama on everything and turning everything to a gender war. You are the most drama-inducing member on WP btw.

Actually, the same can be said to you to many of your replies in the many guys’ complaining threads - they are the ones who are dating women.

I dunno where you were finding that so many slobs, my guess is in online dating.


It really doesn't matter what you believe, because it happens as evidenced by what women have experienced.

If I create drama, so be it. I call out the sexist remarks as I see them. Don't like drama? Don't be sexist and lump all women into one group and dismiss what you have "seen" because you (as a man) have not the experience of actually dating men. When you start dating men, I'll possibly be more open to your criticism. Until then, maybe you can make some more of your fake dating profiles and do another one of your "studies" to prove how awful women are. :lol:


So when women talk about dating men it’s experience and we can’t question them on it but when men talk about experience dating women it’s all’s sexist generalizations and misogyny?
If women’s experiences must be treated as valid so should mine and other men’s experiences.


Exactly, Lululuh, I don’t need to do any citation; your whole attitude ever since you joined WP was what he described; you have a very strong double standards.


The original post specifically asked women, what attracts you to a man. If you don't like the topic and the answers don't participate.



We should at least be able to question your opinions in a civil manner though which is easy when it's civil but too many people get on the defensive ( and hold grudges from Wednesday 9.05 pm 2016 :lol: ) as it's a topic close to a lot of hearts here. Hasn't L&D always been notoriously a them v's us mentality though ( men v's woman ) ?

I really am not understanding the hostility here from the male users. It's like any suggestion that they may not be perfect is considered a personal criticism. And a few of you are just mad that you can't just say anything you want anymore, now that blatant misogyny is being called out and cracked down on. Too bad for you. Get over it and move on with your lives.

Anyway, the original poster asked for suggestions and I gave them. If you don't like them, tough. And try and stay on topic, guys.


And I am very grateful for those suggestions! Thanks :) . All good advice that has helped me these last few days *gives everyone the thumbs up* :) .

You're welcome! Best wishes for a wonderful date! I hope the two of you develop a good relationship!

You are very welcome!

AFAIK, you are the first person from this website to actually apply the advice we've given. Everyone else seems too busy with making excuses, criticizing the advisors, and debating the meaning of each word to actually do what we advise them to do.

Again, I hope everything works out well for you!

:D

Saying most men show up poorly dressed to dates is misandry by your definition.
I think people should be able to share their experiences from dating or trying to get dates without being accused of misogyny or misandry

^ This.

I doubted it would work out, I'm scared everytime that I'll screw up but you know what? I'm tired of letting myself down and as this thread proves, listening to others advice does actually help :) . I know I am a better person because of this.

If only more people would take the same course of action. There would certainly be far fewer "I can't get a date" self-pity posts.

You advice is telling a person who lost their legs to just walk and after they say they can’t telling them yes they can just walk. But they have no legs they can’t walk.

Telling me to just get a better job when I can’t handle it is the same. Mental disabilities are disabilities just like physical ones.

I don’t get why you won’t anws my questions but whatever I’m going assume it’s kist luck that and your probably better looking and less disabled.

I don’t fail cause of lack of trying. So I’m not Afraid to try I message lots of women. Society lets me down.

Are your legs cut off? If not, then this excuse does not apply to you.

What mental disability do you have?

If you are truly so disabled that socializing is completely out of the question, then constantly complaining about your situation won't change it one bit. In fact, complaining changes nothing -- you have to actually do something to affect a change.

I don't think anyone is less disabled. My Autism is pretty bad, it goes through phases and at the moment I'm in a good place. Sometimes it's so bad I can't leave my house. I'm just a happy guy and don't list all my problems online, if I told you them then you'd see that I'm probably as bad as many others here.

I came here for help regarding dating not about my IBS, my OCD or other stuff like that.

What was your question buddy? Sorry this thread moves fast I must have missed it :) .

Edit I wouldn't say I'm good looking either haha :mrgreen: I'm an average looking guy, trust me on that :wink:

He did. Why won't you admit it? (1) He followed the advice previously stated in this thread, and (2) he did it in spite of his fear of screwing up.

"Luck" is for losers and lazy people. Winners and people of action make their own "luck" by doing what is necessary to achieve their goals.

That's it? That is what you call "trying"? That's like spamming the Internet with your resume -- without getting out of bed, getting dressed, and going on interviews -- in the vain hope that someone will just show up on your doorstep with the key to your new office. It simply ain't gonna happen.

HAH! When no one takes you up on your "Here I am! Date me!" messages, it is not the world that has let you down, it is your method. You need a new method. One that involves putting yourself out there where women can meet you face-to-face. This passivity will not work. You need to take a more active role in your own life and actually do something to both increase your attractiveness and women's awareness that you exist.

And stop making up excuses.

I asked where and how your meeting them.

Only women I’ve dated were from dating sites and usually come in pairs but then it’s years before I meet more I’ve never met one Dated been ended then days later meet another.

Thanks for not being aggressive and mean to me like fnord
