Must suck to be her.

Too old.

I see what you did there

[41magsnub]

Boo!   

[Scout26]

You set your standards far too high.  She's perfect for you.

Allow me to clarify your standards for you at this point, Mr. Scared of Girls.

When it comes to women, the only standard you should have is "breathing".  I don't see supermodels busting down your door and Potato Girl is about ready to just walk away unless to show that you are interested.  They like the chase.  It doesn't have to be a hot pursuit, but if you haven't asked her out even for a lousy cup of coffee or an ice cream cone, you need to turn in your man card and go get yourself neutered at the local vet and be done.  You only get one chance on this little green dirt ball, and you're *expletive deleted*ing it up. I don't know how I can say it anymore clearly  Don't live with regret.  Neither you nor she will die if she says "No.".

Or I will swing through VA on my way back in Oct and kick your ass so far up your shoulder blades you'll be tasting ahole for a month.

Smokin' hot.

In regards to Ms. Lewinsky, I have often thought that she could discover the cure for cancer, and her tombstone would still say something about a little blue dress.  Her whole life is likely going to be defined by that.

[CNYCacher]

If no one ever found out, you know most of you would.

Hmmm...

On a different gun board, the poster I knew there who engaged in attention-seeking behaviors online, made jokes about being gay, and always found fault with any woman presented to him in real life, or even as just a thereoretical..

Oh, about two years ago now, he came out.

Just saying...

Re setting one's standards too high.  Eh...  I'd argue that "settling" permanently with someone may be a bad idea.  Depending on the degree, obviously, no one is perfect and expecting perfection is just setting yourself up for failure.  But for dating, who cares?  You'll get some great war stories out of it. 

That said, I once got lucky and scored a chick that (to me) was damn near perfect.  By damn near, I mean it.  Beautiful, intelligent, funny, handy with handguns, loved books, had an interest in explosives, not bad at picking locks, liked outdoors stuff and enjoyed sharpy shiny objects.  It didn't work out.  So even if you do find the perfect lady, it's no key to enduring happiness.

Just bite the bullet and go for it.  Yea, you will face rejection and heartbreak.  That is also part of life.  The upsides far exceed the downsides.

As was once brilliantly said...

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Keep going guys. I'm developing a far better understanding of how men think. This could be useful if I ever again encounter a man worth dating.

[brimic]

There isn't that much to understand.

Young guys want a woman to show off to their peers- its pretty much a status thing.
Older guys (in general) have fewer self image problems and have a lot less tolerance for high maintenance.

When I was younger, I would be self- conscious about who I dated based on what I perceived what others would perceive of me.



Now, I wouldn't have such hangups, and in fact don't think Monica looks all that bad.
OTOH, she probably has a lot of self-image issues (the potential for crazy is high) which would make the situation a no-go for me.

Its all hypothetical anyway, as I'm married.

[Jocassee]

Women scare me.

On the other hand, I had a hot date last night.

Apparently they don't scare me enough.

[wmenorr67]

Never one to have been totally hung up on looks.

Personality and maturity go a lot farther in my decisions.

Of course don't ask me to explain mistakes #1 and #2 when if comes to wives.

Yeah but if they all listen to Chris, none of them would want you.

Preach it brother.

This is serous stuff.

Scout wins today's innernetz

[makattak]

Honestly, I feel sorry for her.

She made a bad choice, but she was a young immature girl taken advantage of by an older, powerful man. (Yes, she chose her part. I'm not saying she was coerced, I'm saying she was young and stupid.)

For the rest of her life, she will be defined by that choice. No wonder she's lonely.

[T.O.M.]

Yeah but if they all listen to Chris, none of them would want you.

No, they will want her.  Just won't marry her.   

Dad always said to imagine yourself waking up in 20 years, rolling over, and seeing that person.  The looks won't be the same, but the person inside will be.  The question you ned to ask yourself...do you want to be there?  If yes, she's a keeper.  If there's any doubt, you're in it just for the looks, so have fun, but remember to move along.

Preach it Rev.  

Mabs,

Dating is practice.  It's going on test-drives.  Dating is seeing if there's compatibility and "likes", It's more important to 'like" the other person then to love them.  You want to be around them.  And if it doesn't work out, as Rev stated, you will have learned.  Hopefully more about yourself and what you are looking for in a partner.  

But you will not know, will not learn unless you first ask someone to go out with you, even just to talk.

[CNYCacher]

The looks won't be the same, but the person inside will be.

That's an interesting theory.

[French G.]

That's an interesting theory.

And a theory you hope works out. If you think highly of someone to want to be there in 20 years you hope you are strong enough to be there with them when life changes them. Personal loss, hormones, lots of things really work hard on who someone is. You hope you picked out someone with enough strength of character to emerge mostly whole, but who knows.

[Monkeyleg]

The looks won't be the same, but the person inside will be.

Not necessarily. My wife and I have both changed substantially over the years. It's made for some interesting times.
