I thought some of you might appreciate this (although it may have been posted previously): Why men die first is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries, but now we know: If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, > you're a male chauvinist; if you...

Guidance from Sean Connery Here's some guidance from a well-respected DJ: From a Playboy Interview, 1964: "I don't think there is anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman - though I don't recommend doing it in the same way that you'd hit a man. An open-handed slap is justified - if...

NewMan and PrincelyDeeds, You guys may be right, but there is the old maxim that over time, couples rub away at each other’s rough edges to form a polished set – or at least one that fits reasonably well together. The key is being willing to change, not because your partner wants you to...

Thanks for the advice guys, I knew there were some people on this board who have gone/are going through what I am right now. In responding to the advice each of you has given, perhaps I can clarify things a bit more: NewMan: I agree with you that it’s my decision (or rather hers and mine –...

I'm not one to bump my own posts, but I don't want my original post to get buried past the first page without receiving some additional replies.

That's exactly what a very good friend of mine told me yesterday. He's a few years older and one of the divorced people I mentioned in my original post. In fact, he explained that if he had been as cautious as I am right now, he wouldn't have gotten married and ruined himself financially by...

For the past two years I’ve been dating a high-quality (now 28 year old) woman who has many of the things I’ve looked for in a long-term relationship. Presently, however, I’ve been on the receiving end of mounting pressure to take our relationship to the next level. In other words, to either...

It’s human nature to want to blame someone else for your mistakes. What you need to admit to yourself is that the reason your relationship failed is most likely because you failed, rather than the other way around. You missed the little cues that her interest level in you was dropping faster...

From Arlington, Virginia -- 5 minutes outside of Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, with a 60+ week professional job and an attention-seeking girlfriend, my ability to play wingman are few and far between.

Shorty, Maybe it was "playground stuff," and maybe it wasn't. Although I've been on this site for quite a long time, I've never found the single-minded belief that direct "confrontation," if you will, is always the best approach. There are times to be direct, and there are times to be...

Good points except No. 1 Player Supreme's post, albeit somewhat crude (by PS' own admission) makes valid points. Each point is worth of its own thread, but let's take each one in turn. I take issue with the first point to the degree that it emphasizes playing so-called "head games" with...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: lol Yes, it would, although I found law school to be like working extremely hard -- for free. What law students will find is that their entire way of thinking, almost of existing, will be forever changed by the experience.

Iqqi, Gio is a very intelligent man, and apparently possesses sufficient wisdom to have evaluated what he considers to be the critical issues involved with marrying his now-fiancé. Yet at the same time, and in response to my initial post to this thread, Gio has admitted that he was curious...

Your analysis, as cynical as it may seem to someone who does not share your view, is more accurate than most men would care to admit. Nonetheless, "aguynamedwill" did have a good suggestion, namely, pick what *you* want to do, and then invite her along. For example, if you have a group of...

Gio, No offense intended, but your answer is as I expected. Without resulting to the old cliché, “love is blind,” love has a tendency to override rational thought when an objective viewpoint is most needed. Rather than continue the inquisition that many on this thread have initiated...

Gio, It’s rare that I post here anymore, but I couldn’t help noticing your announcement of your impending nuptials. Unlike many others who have posted responses, however, I will neither congratulate you nor condemn you for your decision. In the end your decision to get married was just that...

SexPDX, What does "real" mean? Is that another way of saying "be yourself"? If so, haven't we all cried out that being yourself won't achieve anything? Assume you're a typical computer geek who eventually wants to become a stud. You're skinny, pale, no muscle tone, etc... You could "be...

Re: bungo This is probably the most important part, if not the whole point of this thread. People need to take more responsibility for their decisions. Likewise, if you don't deal with your problems, don't expect anyone else to deal with them; or, more importantly, deal with you until...

I get the distinct impression that some people responding to my original post didn't bother to read (or try to understand) the explanation that accompanied the particular attribute in question. On the other hand, it is a distinct possibility that the rejection of a particular alpha male...

I couldn't have said it better myself. Unfortunately, it is human nature to ask for acceptance despite our flaws. In other words, "I deserve the perfect man/woman even though I haven't earned him/her yet through self-improvement." People in general need to be less tolerant of negative...
