Being young free and single i find the dating scene rather dull, wierd and promiscuous. Apologies to the ladies as this is totally from a guys perspective. I find
Attractive Men = pretentious and arrogant Other Men = some sort of wierdness which doesn't equate to any level of normality or sanity And finally the ones which cannot keep their willies in there pants and find commitment a profanity.
For all the singledons and for those with life experience - what do you reck? discussion sort!
Oh and for those of us who cannot read minds nor know who does or does not fancy them - how about an end of term speed dating event - if anything it would be a laugh!
We are doing speed dating at the begininng of next semester :) which should be fun.
I have been single for almost a year now and would like someone serious :) But alas everyone I meet is either a nut job, taken or just wants a quick boff.
Or they find me hideously unattractive and would rather stick needles in their eyes than go near me.
Oh well hey x

It's not about categorization, it's all about finding eligible men (and or women) that are dateable. Given Homosexuals are a minority, there minority is further dwindled by the even smaller pickings from a very limited stock.
Well you're the one who put ppl in categories! I'm just sying there's plenty of other people who dont fit into your definitions. Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places!

I'm not putting anyone into any category....merley summarizing my experience, to which JohnK agrees to, to some degree. Again its not about categorizing! As for looking in the wrong places i've lived in Chicago to India, I've be been around the world and back, i've looked high and low. It's just what i have found and experienced (notice i am saying I have experienced and not all gays are blah blah blah). Again what i have experienced does in no way account for everbody. However my topic for discussion is why is it so hard to find a good decent eligible guy.....................
oh dear the friendly forum turned into a bit of a ladies wrestling ring!
i kno this is overly said but i think its true, love comes when you least expect it, not because thats the force of nature,
but when you are seeking for it, you tend to be very judgemental towards everyone you meet, hence less open minded you will be.
also, dont think looking for eligible men in a club or places like that would particularly be a good idea, dont think hardly any men look for relationships in such places, they wanna hav fun!
id say, stop striving to be in an exclusive relationship, when its right it will come, but for now, enjoy dating! datings fun too.
Oh, so I'm not good enough for you, but you'll happily take Rich's sloppy seconds?!
Right now, my problem is that I'm finding I'd quite like a boyfriend for the first time in my life, but where the heck would I go to meet men? I'm unlikely to form a lasting relationship from someone I pull in a nightclub (and let's face it, nobody would pull me in a nightclub anyway) but the only men I meet are those in the LGBT or the kind of men whose eyes light up the moment they realise I'm inexperienced and hence are only after one thing.
And I won't get started on the stereotypes some women have of bisexuals, or I'll be here all day.
Speed dating it is, then! Preferably with a bag over my head...
You know how gorgeous I think you are, John. I just wish telling you that would change the way you felt about yourself, because we all think you're fantastic and hate the fact you can't see what a great guy you are.

is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? what do people reckon? is the heartache after a breakup worth it? feeling unbearable, and the fact that it takes a very long time to re-cuperate if at all just adds to the complexities me thinks.........
i think that of all the men that i have ever loved not one has managed to reach my expectations of them. i think that the thing that you have to do is not have expectations when going into a relationship. that way you wont be dissaponted!

ps, I think it's unfair to assume that all attractive men are pretentious and arrogant. Although I must admit that more often than not that's why I explain away their never wanting to talk to me.

Physically attractive men can be arrogant cuz bunch of shallow, weird + desperate guys throw themselves to attractive guys all the time. Who wouldn't be arrogant if guys fight over them and all they have to do is smile?

If you have low self-esteem, people throwing themselves at you won't change your poor self-image. Ironically, my experiences have sometimes shown me that the most arrogant people are not necessarily the most physically attractive.

How does going after a physically attractive guy make someone weird and or desperate? Shallow yes. Don't you just love shallow people :D Like guys just interested in using you for sex........: /

Nobody ever tries to use me for sex! - what is wrong with me?
There is nothign wrong with wanting a fit guy, lets face it, most relationships begin because 2 people fancy each other. It wont keep them together, but it will get them together

True. Note that 'fit' is pretty subjective, though. One person's 'fit' guy might be another person's number one munter.
And the reason nobody offers to use you for sex, Adam, is because Phil would beat the crap out of anyone who offered.
