To oldmenrule~ Love, love, love what you wrote! How honest and sincere, not to mention TRUE! What church do you go to btw? I have been married for almost 17 years, and just recently had an issue with my husband "browsing out of curiosity", I guess to see if he was marketable?? Who knows, but I was ready to leave this marriage and as I read some scripture I was taken that the enemy is trying to steal my family and I wasn't going to let him. I just loved how you wrote that we live in a fallen world which makes the false look real... how true.
1) Rebounder-The woman who is still vulnerable after breaking up with an ex and she falls for you immediately. Then, she immediately wants to break up with you so she can start dating another guy.
2) Art Imitates Life Woman-This is the woman who has seen "Bridget Jones's Diary" and its sequel more times than healthy and believes it to be a microcosm of her life especially with men. The woman who almost seems to live her life vicariously through movie and tv characters.
3) Innocent BiStander-The woman who has "experimented" with both men and women and goes back and forth with no regards.
4) Jane Profane-A woman who uses excessive profanity and uses more "M-F's" than Samuel L. Jackson does in his movies. Now that's a lot!
5) Debbie Downer-The woman who is always depressed and has low self-esteem. Has frequent conversations that wind up going like, "Sometimes I feel like...I don't know."
Well I can certainly relate to dating #2 (Art Imitates Life). I dated a woman for 3 months, very nice and someone I would have seen myself marrying, except that she could not relate to me at all except through episodes of Law and Order. She had no children, is an only child, so when I would speak about my 2 teenage sons, and express my concerns for them, she would compare my feelings to her feelings about her dog.
Maybe I should be thankful that she called it off after 3 months. LOL.
I meet a girl with 3 kids was with her one and a half yrs was living together and one day she just got mad for no reason and told me to leave(I had 20 sec. to pack and leave) That nite I went to talk to her she already moved another man in (he doesnt work)we talked about marriage just a few nights before the kids dont like him and keep asking where I am I just stay away but I hear things that go on there and dont think its a good envirment for the kids .I feel when you find someone to be with you have to take in consideration the kids feelings as well as your own if you run into a woman that dosent think of her kids feelings along with hers it wont work hope not to many of you run into this
SELFISH TYPES
Talk and flirt. Don't be shy. Dont' talk and flirt. Be a little bit shy.
Don't cling. Be more independent. Don't have an independent social life a bit like a party gal. Stay home some, make a nest. Be a slight commitmentphile.
Yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, contridictory, don't actually know what you do want.
Too hard. Couldn't care less. Don't wanna play with men with lists anyhow. Lists are not manly.
I think we all remember those are the classics, but how about some new one? Like women that talk on their cell phones , while their date sits near them, and he wanted to be with her for a few weeks?
Is she trying to appear "popular" or something?
Once again, sweeping generalisations about men... As pointed out in a previous comment, many of these things are contradictory (have a social life but don't party with friends too much, be sociable but don't flirt, etc...) and it's a bit presumptuous to assume all men hate all of these traits; some yes, but men vary in which ones they hate. Personally, I find the clingy types endearing and don't really mind it all that much. The commitment-philes are fine too so long as they understand I am not marrying them on the first date or even the first year of dating. =p I do agree with the party-girl and flirty-bird assessments though because as someone with long-term interests at heart I don't want someone who needs so much attention from everyone else.

Yeah, I have never spoken to a woman like that either.
It is a hard call to whether he is just as jerk, or whether he is a player.

No. It is not wise.

Do you have something completely stupid to talk about? Come here. Talk. It's a simple two step process. Please have a good sense of humor about all this. It is good for the heart.
