Where are the real men?

[reconditioned]

Actually, to tell the truth my mother and some other people in my life were much, much worse. My father was the good guy.

Hiya Marnie!

I sure know how you feel. Try being 41 and still looking. When I was younger the women I met or was introduced to seemed very self centered and self possessed. Now, if they are not married or divorced, they seem mostly bitter and resentful or vapid and looking for daddy to take care of them. I understand your frustrations but keep your chin up or you may just walk by Mr. Right.

No kidding.... LOL When someone figures out where they are, let me know!

How about Ray then, he said he is available? And he is Christian and doesn't play Playstation.

I've been contemplating marriage. The problem is, I just don't see a lot of real men. In another thread I was poked fun at because of some of the things I am looking for in a mate. The general feeling is that my sights are set too high; that I will never find my "ideal man" because he doesn't exist. I've been thinking about this, and while I know he is out there (I also believe in Bigfoot and the Nessie, mind you), he sure is hard to spot. What I mean is this: At 33, it is almost impossible to find a compatible male my age. What I generally find is this:

*guys my age are already divorced with children and lots of baggage;

*guys my age are still "finding themselves," whatever that means;

*guys my age who are single are likely gay or still living at home in their parents basement;

*too many guys my age are still tied to their mother's apron strings;

*guys my age are still playing and replaying the big game in highschool;

*guys my age are more interested in X Boxes than in cultivating a relationship;

*guys my age want the sex but don't want the exertion of building a life together;

*a lot of guys my age are so ego-centric they spend more time in front of a mirror than I do;

*what is it with this whole "sensitivity" thing? Sympathy and crying...far too common in men today;

*manners, politeness, and all those old-fashioned gentlemanly qualities seem to end with men in their late 40's

Now, I put this in the General Discussion area because Lord knows I am not looking for advice! What I am wondering is this: What the heck is it that you guys in your 30's are looking for out of life? Not in a mate, understand, but what is important to you, as a mid 30's American male? Now, when it comes to women and relationships, do intelligent women frighten or intimidate you? Are you put off by an ambitious, talented, opinionated, some would say attractive woman? Is cooking and darning socks important to you? Are you worried about hitting 40 and being single? Is height and weight in a woman important to you?

You think getting into a woman's head is difficult, you men are impossible to understand. So guys, now is your chance to step up to the plate and tell us women what goes on inside your head when it comes to the issues of life and relationships, cause, frankly, I am tired of trying to figure y'all out! Let's discuss.

Were really just puppydogs

Good luck in your search!

I'm with you sis,

And their "counter-parts" are something less desirable as well!
