Venting my frustrations

First, I have to say that I really think most men have got to be really moronic or something.

I knew Michael's had some classes but never even considered taking one. I'll have to look into it. My sister has a studio of sorts in her house. I went in there one afternoon and was instantly engrossed. I painted a tree with a sunset in the background, threw in some grass. It was relatively painless and it didn't look too bad. I sometimes get lost in techniques, rules; I enjoy winging it.
It's been dreary here all day, but the sky is opening up here, too. I wish we could get some rain, we haven't had a significant amount of precip in weeks.
I don't even try to understand men. I have so many sweet, successful, and attractive single girlfriends. Some date regularly, some are just hanging out like me, LOL. One friend in particular I am thinking of right now is completely self sufficient, actually has a six digit salary, and has model good looks. She's not crazy, weird, demanding, or difficult. She's fun, reasonable, very smart, sensible, doesn't have an air of desperation . . . she's just an all around great girl. She puts herself out there, too. Always taking an opportunity to be fixed up by friends. She'll have a string of seemingly successful dates and then "poof" they're gone. It's baffling to me.
Do you notice a theme here? We all say we're normal, successful, and most of all, NOT bitchy.
Yup yup.. you got us guys pegged there shywon *grin*
I hear and FEEEEEL your frustration. It does amazes me that we all seem to be looking for the same thing (male and female) and it does get a lot harder, the older we get. Or maybe it's the culture? Who knows?
What I want from a woman is her wanting me as much as I want her and showing it. Of course we could be perfectly matched but off with the timing. Or we are both ready for a relationship and the chemistry is not there. Or our incomes, geographic distance, communication styles, Myers-Briggs personalities, lifestyles, height, weight, are not there ....
Hey all, *I'M* available! (FYI grin).
Deeeeeep breaths shywon...
Take care,
Mark
Along the same vein...
I just read a thread on Fark.com. It was an article regarding more men being the child caregiver and the stay-at-home dad thing and how women are reacting to it.
But it wasn't the article I was really interested in... it was the comments posted by readers.
WOW... do men really hate women that much? It's amazing and disheartening as well. Especially for those of us (I'd like to think of myself this way) who are not bitter, who are not uber controlling, who are not b*tchy, and who are not out to be "number one." Dang.
And don't even get me started on old men hitting on me.
And you know what's even more amazing?
These are guys I've emailed through online personals.

Big DITTO from me (only from a man, of course). :) It doesn't seem like it should be that hard, but it is.

>>Sometimes, a guy might not know just how much I'm into him until 3-4 months into it because I don't let myself get attached until I'm sure he's worth it.<<
Oh, that gets a DITTO as well. When I said I agreed with Mark's statement, I meant later in a relationship - after it's established. I dated someone who was terrible at showing how he felt, and I think people do need to know that the person they're with really does want to be there.

Hey shywon, my request if you start blaming a poster (like me) then take off your "CL" login ID when you post.
Not sure where old men hitting on you or lowering your standards came from my post or for that matter, where I said I wanted to be worshipped.
I take umbrage on me being "part of the problem." However like I said I FEEL your frustration and now anger and experiencing all that in your posting. Vent on but please do so without lumping me in with the worship mongers, old men hitting on you, etc.
Mark
