And lying to women should only be encouraged when it involves disclosing losing bets! Anything else invariably ends with the bloke triping himself up at some stage and it's all just stress and hassle.

Wife "Does my bum look big in this?" Husband "Of course it does, you've got a fat ar*e" |

DaveEdwards - I can't believe anyone would get in to a relationship in the first place, that naturally will lead to sex at some stage without some sort of physical attraction. Even if it isn't being wowed by the whole package, then at least nice eyes, smile, legs, arse or something to compliment the person themself!

no such thing as love - fact.

people on chit chat have sex
 who ffs ? |

By:
I agree HRH, but now everyone finds themselves in the situation where they can choose who they get involved with. We've all seen it, ugly couple walking down the High St, skinny runt of a man hand in hand is an elephant of a woman, both as ugly as sin. What choice have people like that got?

The uglies are gonna' be happy because, 1 - They never thought they would find someone to sleep with unmedicated. 2 - They will try harder to not let this unexpected opportunity go begging 3 - They don't lose sleep over any good looking people likely to nick their other half.

I'm not sure how they could be happy in a sexual way. Whatever way you look at it they are having to get down with someone most people wouldn't consider it as a possibility with. They must know this. Makes me feel ill thinking about it!

By:
Well obviously they wear bags, or just do it doggy.

So, I think the question has been answered - men do not 'love' women - just the package they come in. And woe betide if the package gets damaged.

Annie, you've mentioned a few times in this thread, and in the past, about your observations of posters apparent disparity of women or their wives/girlfriends. Obviously I can't comment on their true feelings but I would suggest that an anonymous internet forum that is populated almost exclusively by males isn't a true reflection of most males true feelings towards their significant other.
This is the equivalent of a few lads in a pub having a beer and banter. A very safe common ground shared amongst the participants are the annoyances of their partners. There are no women in the immediate area so it's easy to make fun and joke about them. I think if you sat down privately with most of the blokes they wouldn't act in a similar way, especially when a female is present. Those that do are usually twats and you should ignore immediately!! Women do a similar thing I imagine, in fact I know! I my place of work it is probably 95% female and almost everyday is littered with jibes and insults about their husbands/boyfriends annoying them. "He was out all night and told me he would do the washing up" etc etc. It's just a common topic that housewives can share. There might be a bit of malice in it but I wouldn't take it as all women are evil. Likewise, blokes doing the same thing about women, it's something to talk about I guess!! :) As for your main question, "can men truly love women". I can't speak for anyone else but personally that's pretty much all I want, and I think most males would agree, although some may hold their tongue through fear of losing "man points"! I think you'd be surprised at how many men are seeking a soul mate (if such a thing exists). A lot of the, shag em on Friday, boot them out on Sunday, nonsense is just bravado imo. Peer pressure and the media adds to the desire to be thought of as cool and there ain't many things cooler to a 22 year bloke than to go on a shag fest for a few years. As for loving someone who might have lost their looks or something. If a man marries then it should be for more than just looks. A semi-serious relationship, then yeah, maybe a gorgeous brain dead but if you're committing for life then personality and values trump looks every time. All imo of course. :) Jesus, that's far too long a post. Apologies! Hah! |

Thank you to all contributers. Depressing thread! Remember some of us are still young and yet to realise life is going to screw us over.

No Annie, thats not true. Of course men can fall in love with women. They can fall out fo love with them too, & not just because they don't look the same as they did when they were 21!

I'd love to believe what you have posted, grandpa chook (soryy but that is a goddam awful name, how old are you?), but I do not. In over 100,000 posts I think the percentage of nice posts about women must be about 0.001%. To men on this forum if a woman is old or fat or ugly or, heaven forbid all three, she is beyond the pale. No, it is worse than that, she does not exist. She could be the nicest, funniest, kindest person ever - but if she is not 'fit' - forget it.

By:
Annie, an honest view of my three tick boxes.
1) Nice bum 2) Good in bed 3) Good in the kitchen. Failure on any one of those points would stop me getting into a long term relationship. |
|
By:
OK maybe I could overlook the cooking as I'm not too bad in the kitchen myself, but without the basics in life what have you got?
|
|
By:
just get some botox down yer annie and it's a date
|
|
By:
So, you have proved my point, dave edwards, it is all about lust. So what happens, if you are in this relationship, when she gets old and you do not desire her anymore?
|
|
By:
there must be men who love there woman cos look at all them old uns that stay together or do they just do it cos they cant be bothered to look for someone else
|
|
By:
annie, I not long ago walked from one (10 yrs married). It wasn't that she had gone off the boil at all. She was a shocking nag, way beyond what was acceptable in a loving relationship & I knew I couldn't live the rest of my life with her. She's still attractive.

I do not need botox to get a date, bito
 . I was asked out today by someone 13 years younger than me. A few weeks ago I was asked out by someone 17 years younger than me |
|
By:
Annie, I know it's not polite to ask a woman her age, but let's get this into perspective. How old are you?
|
|
By:
lol, apologies for my name. It's a character (well, a chicken) from a book by Bryce Courtenay called "The Power Of One". I think I was reading it at the time of signing up and couldn't think of anything else. As for my age, I'm 24. This does, unfortunately, mean I am thick! :(
It's a shame you don't believe my post and I won't try to convince you further as it's clear from previous posts that you have your views and seemingly nothing can change them. I know other people with similar outlooks. I do find it sad to think that you believe men to not have the time of day for any female who isn't at least a 9/10 in the looks department. That just seems like quite a depressing outlook on life. I agree with you that men on this forum don't do the rest of us many favours, but using such a tiny sample such as this to judge half the worlds population is very narrow minded. |

By:
and now you're being asked by someone 25 yrs younger [:(]
show us yer........ |
|
By:
And I concur with Dave! Every thread started ends up with Annie asking someones age. Fair is fair!! [:)]
|

By:
annies age equals her chest size
apparently |

By:
how come when I was a young lad and and fancied older women there were no cougars around? It's not fair.

bito, does that means she's getting bigger with each passing year???
|
|
By:
Bito, how old are you? Are you really a benefit scrounger? Do you really live in a bedsit? Do you really have a thai bride? You do not post like any of the forementioned is true. Are you having us on? Do you post under another name? Please do not tell me you are canaryboy

Most days her drink, gambling and porn addled brain can't even remember her name, let alone age [:p]

annie, I of course respect your choice not to answer that question.
My guess, somewhere around 40. |
