How did you define "romantic" back in the day before you were jaded and all? (beautifulspam)



I thought that women would be attracted to qualities like kindness, intelligence, and the kind of good looks that don't depend on displays of dominance and wealth.

[ I'm a hopeless romantic, so I also want to believe that love is pure. Time and time again, though, I'm reminded that it's not. My eyes have been opened widely, simply by reading some of the posts by Aspie men on this board . I'm sure there must be some truly romantic men



No sympathy. ladies, you need to stop lying to us and most of all to yourselves, about what you really want.

There was a time when I actually believed this crap, and thought I was that kind of man, and I spent a lot of time wondering why woman weren't attracted to me.

Now that I act like an arrogant prick I do quite well, thanks :twisted:


They are not really lieing, they really believe they like it, although they will prefer exactly the guy they are saying they don't want. 8O Well, so is life...

Most women, what they really want is a big ape who will toss them from hand to hand while swatting at helicopters and whatever, but in order to reconcile this desire for a dominant male with their self image as "pure," "romantic" innocent little creatures many of them string along a "nice guy" boyfriend who validates that side of their personality.

Hence the alpha male / confused woman / nice guy love triangle we experience, watch our friends go through and read about on the WP forums.

Nice to see, anyhow, that you don't actually believe that all women want big apes. I'd have to take issue with that, as I'm waiting for my dreamy poet with scruples and intelligence.

The pics don't do it justice. They were
all taken when there was quite a bit
of sweat in it.

Just anticipating you.

So, now you've raised my own curiousity.
Have you posted any?

Not yet. I've been debating back and forth whether it's worth it, since I do have a sociopath out to kill me.
