carnationpurple McMinnville, OR 60, joined Mar. 2008	do men get a thrill out of starting a conversation, then a day or two, or even weeks later, stop? I had a wonderful marriage, years later was forced into widowhood, and raised my kids by myself. I've been a widoow for quite sometime now, and have 5 plus grandkids, and have a fairly happy life. I'm not boring, and have interests like anyone else and would someday, like most, to find the right guy to be with the rest of my life. I don't like rushing things, and like to get to know a person first, before meeting. Now, I know it's not me, as I've heard and read this about men doing this, so if anyone has an answer, I would love to hear it. Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

boopdelou Myrtle Creek, OR 59, joined Oct. 2008	A lot of guys seem to fall into this habit. Sex is a lot of it or they are looking for a more complmentry verson to parade around. I haven't found a lot of sincere men on the sites. Of the rare ones, we have become pen pals more than real friends or anything with a commitment, reguardless how they want to represent themselves. Sorry to be a downer. P.S. I have tried the baked goods, home cooked meals and watching sports with them, if sex isn't included by the second meeting, they're gone as a rule.

shir567 Beaverton, OR 65, joined Nov. 2007	Ya gotta wonder sometimes. It's so very nice to share some parts of your life with a man. On the other hand - Being at peace with the world, my home and my soul can sometimes out way those moments. I like me. I don't always understand me, but that's okay. I can still surprize myself. I have a lot to give, but I will not waste it again where it isn't appreciated. I am able to enjoy so much in life. Down to the small details. He would really need to be capable of a bigger picture than just some good looking sheets

aginghippy2008 Beaverton, OR 69, joined Jul. 2008	Is it possible that too much time is wasted looking for the lifetime "partner" --- rather than just looking for a lifetime "friend"? For myself, I have no desire to ever marry again --- but I enjoy the companionship of a man who makes me laugh and enjoy life to its fullest. When you are seeking a "partner," you seem to restrict yourself to someone who shares your religion, politics, and other points of view. When you are seeking a "friend," you are less restrictive --- and are more likely to ignore the differing points of view and just relish in the good times you spend together. If love or lust develop after the friendship has matured, it's just frosting on the gingerbread, so to speak.

execmom7 Union, OR 51, joined Feb. 2009	I have noticed the same things.... sex seems to come first for most but I know that is not all. The way I see being single is this.... loneliness is a constant pain.... but a niggling pain.... like living with a headache. Being with the wrong person in a poor relationship and possibly having your heart broken is excruciating. I would rather live with the headache. Not to mention.... if I am spending my time with the "wrong" one.... I miss the "right" one. So, I am somewhat content on my own and enjoying the occasional nice conversation.

waterdabber West Linn, OR 67, joined Dec. 2008	I like your attitude there aging hippie, we do think alike. perhaps because we are both from the same era. My advice is not to let anyone steal your peace. (LOL) If your not comfortable having sex then don't do it to get a man, the end result will be that they won't call back anyway, the right man will come along and if he doesn't then being single has to be better than to compromise your standards.

im_trs_44 Salem, OR 51, joined May. 2009	Hello Ya'all; As a guy on the other side of this story I gota say, On the other hand if you are a "nice guy" you might find it nye imposible to get a woman to talk to you for any length of time.. I couldn't tell you of all the times I've sat across the table from Miss dream and had her tell me that she wished she could find an honest,caring,faithfull man like.... me... then how many times that the conversation ended w/ But I guess I'll just havta settle w/ that d*ck tonight...... So tell me anyone, if you do find that guy who listens,cares,is faithfull,wants something more than sex out of you, then are you actually going to give him a chance, or will you tell him that your just have to settle for that jerk thats trying to pick you up????

bbbert48 Gresham, OR 67, joined Jul. 2008	Why, why, why indeed. With an infinite number of topics to discuss, why is it that when conversation is initiated (and is NOT centered around sex) there is very often a period of non-communication that ensues. There always seems to be a statement to the effect that a "nice guy" is suitable to be a friend (like a brother), but nothing more. Now, a "Bad Boy" type is infinately more interesting.

Its like most women prefer the jackass, or the guy that dose not respect them much. I have been told twice that i am a nice guy and they don't deserve me as an excuse to leave me. if that is not a kick in the nuts i don't know what is.

There are a lot of men who claim to be "nice," and start out being "nice," but end up being disrespectful when they assume the world revolves around them and their needs.

bbbert48 Gresham, OR 67, joined Jul. 2008	It's a shame that when a "nice guy" is asked for it isn't what is really meant. Perhaps the problem is with the definition. If a guy thinks that being nice is just paying attention to his date, being considerate, chivalrous, and caring - he is mistaken. All of those attributes may be desirable, but they are BORING! If the date or relationship is so oriented to the comfort of the woman, she loses interest. "Niceness" may be desired, but it doesn't compare to a "challenge!"
