[QUOTE="Muxika"] My girlfriend's parents are loaded and mine are, uh, not.clayron
We happen to be in the same boat. It took me some time to get over that, and be able to have a healthy relationship.
My GF'S mother takes the cake for letting me know she what she thinks of me. My gf's mother once sat down in front of us, and said, "I would prefer it if you didn't talk to black men."
Wow, her mother sounds like a trophy WASP. It's none of her business who you talk to, even if it's a drug dealer or a member of the KKK. As long as you make your girlfriend happy, that's all she should worry about. [QUOTE="-TheSecondSign-"]They want two things. Money, and more money.
And sometimes a third thing.

Wow... :|Yeah. I know, and this was three years into our relationship.
My GF was apologizing like crazy, I just told her, "Stop worrying about it. I am not dating your mother so I couln't care less what she thinks."
Then the sexy-time came. Oh right...8)
I know what you mean - my ex was loaded and I've never been. My ex's parents were pretty nasty to me and once called me queen of the dirt because I wasn't rich or stuck up :| They'd just made all these assumptions about me...his mum warmed up to me but his dad is a complete ****.[QUOTE="clayron"]We happen to be in the same boat.

Funny thing was Nathan had a horrible childhood and had emotional/personality problems because of the way his parents were and the way they'd brought him up whereas I had the best childhood ever :D Just shows money isn't everything
Those sound like the people that should have their own show called: "parents you would never want"
Just kidding about the pros and cons part. But I really am a love camel. I don't care if women want me or not. And I certainly will NOT settle for someone just to avoid being alone. That is a sign of weakness I don't subscribe to.
I'm too smart for most women. That is not to say smart in the traditional sense. I'm way too analytical for most women, most people for that matter. Most people go through life never assessing anything, never examining anything, they go through like mindless zombies. I don't I notice everything, question everything, analyze everything, satire everything. Most people find this weird, especially women, who really only care about cell phones Ipods, make-up and the blatantly material. I care about going for a hike in the woods at 2 am when it's really windy to look at the stars.
Who wants that when there's clubs to go to and Hot Topics to shop at?
BTW I'm a lot older than most of you so maybe all this is irrelevant anyway. Speaking a different language.

I could definitely see why that would get annoying--questioning everything especially. Though the part about the hike in the woods at 2am just to check out the stars actually sounds awesome(kinda deep if you as me). It's not something any guy I know would ever suggest and it's usually always considered zoning out when I try to enjoy things like that--but I absolutely love looking at the stars, moon, the early sunset, the color of the sky at certain times of the day, and ect ect. Stuff like that makes me feel at ease and think about how there is more to life then just money and materialistic stuff. Always wanted to see a lunar rainbow as well.
But I do find myself more involved into everything else you mentioned then any of that stuff though. Sounds like you have the right mindset though on not settling just to avoid being alone--but hopefully your don't have unreasonable expectations either.
Those sound like the people that should have their own show called: "parents you would never want"XBryanFuryXYeh - it's a shame you can't pick who your partner's parents are. I'd swap Hero's mum for Nathans :) But no pick n mix allowed apparently >_>
Good point actually, I think people of different age groups, regardless of gender, tend to want different things in a partner :) It's all about where you are in lifetofu-lion91
All I ever wanted in a woman:
Personality: Intelligent, Sweet, Funny
Physically: Nice thighs, Long hair - I do not compromise on the hair thing, at all.
My current GF, is all but funny. And over the last year or two she has been less sweet than I wish. But, I still love her.
I pretty much want the exact opposite of my mother. Who is synonymous to a military drill sargeant.
...and if, in the future, you eventually do meet someone you can see yourself spending your life with, you're going to be very happy that you never lowered that bar. Imagine spending the rest of your life with someone who is "sort-of almost your soul-mate, but not quite"... clayron: The spoiler tag in your sig candidate isn't working... :(Yup, i feel the same. Single and happy rather than being with a partner and end up being unhappy. =]

It means they and you are teenagers :p "Cute" is puppies and kittens, and "sweet" is what a drink becomes when you add sugar to it. It can also, occasionally, be used to refer to something spectacularly considerate, thoughtful, and loving, that you do for the woman you're with. What that something is different from person to person. :) Hm. I hope I don't get a double-post now for being late to the thread!i have a question to the ladies in this topic about certain lingo you like to use ._.
What do women mean when you call a guy "cute" because I get called that a lot...and what is this "sweet" that you speak of? You ladies overuse these terms without explaining what they are!!!

What if your soul mate doesn't reciprocate? :oJandurinSoul mates just don't show up. They're made, bit by bit, as you learn about each other, take an interest in each other's interests, and adjust a little bit at a time to the person you're living with. I wasn't always a basketball fan... ;)

Anyone else getting a strange image of a TV show starting Jandurin and Vandalvideo living together in one of their moms' basements as they strive to craft the perfect female companion, occasionally filled with slightly uncomfortable "bromance" type moments between them?nocoolnamejimUm, no... I had strange images of Jandurin moving to Stepford. :D
[QUOTE="roleplayer2004"][QUOTE="tofu-lion91"] I like this list - agreed :) I wouldn't say put their woman first as other things in life are important and I encourage my boyfriend not to plan his future career around me as that isn't fair. And I do ask for improvements and discuss my flaws with him, but like I said - that's only when I ask, I don't like them being pointed out in everyday conversation!Jandurin
You think so? I don't think your man putting his career before you would be a wise choice. From what I learned from my parents is that their relationship was at its strongest when she was putting her family and her husband(my father) first. But when she became career orienated and started working what is supposively normal a 40+ hour week their relationship deteriorated and now they hardly talk, love each other or even show affection. Love always comes first because at the end of the day the only thing that matters is happiness and you won't find that with work or money. Just make sure your boyfriend doesn't become too career orienated and thinks just about the money or he's going to have a pretty miserable life. It's more important concerntrating on your love or emtional life than just being career minded so you can live in upper class neighborhood and have plush cars or things will start to deteriorate very quickly!
I disagree. It's not working 40 hours a week that makes you distant, it's working 40 hours a week then having to come home to snot nosed kids! :o Nah, I'll have kids some day. But, without is pretty nice, right now.Kids are a reflections of the of their parents. They are a mirror to their romodels.

I think that's because attractive women have the tendency to get hounded by men, so they have to draw the line somewhere. They also have to be choosier for that reason, too. A beautiful woman can't go out with the first man that goes after her. She might be miserable.Oh well of course there's a natural balance between the two :) It's just we're both at an age where college has ended and we're both looking for careers - I'm looking into the police so I can live and move anywhere but his interest in quality assurance (games testing) is in specific places. I've told him to find a job first and then we'll sort out how we're gonna see each other, not the other way round :)[QUOTE="roleplayer2004"]

Wow you really wear the pants in the relationship. As long as you have time for each other and have enough money from your job to have somewhere to eat and sleep that's all that really matters. It's when greed takes over and you do it for the wrong reasons. Good luck with your future.

Good luck with your futureroleplayer2004Lmao I don't see how my post reflected that but ok :P Thanks by the way - it's gonna take a while, and we might have to live apart for a while but I hope once we're both settled into careers I can get transferred to where he is :)

This question isn't really important to me. I am a love camel. If girls don't want me, I don't care I am just as happy alone. I TOO weight the pros and cons silently in my mind.
Pros: Is willing to have sex with me
Is willing to go away after she has sex with me.
Cons: Isn't willing to have sex with me
wants to snuggle AFTER sex.

You are very wise. I can totally relate to that and I don't understand how the world works either? Most people feed off their insecurities and just try to blend in so that they are not different and they are always looking for acceptance. The way to earn accpetance is to love who you are and be proud of how god made you and embrace it and forget about all the haters. The only reason why haters hate is because they are insecure and they are basically picking themselves apart from looking at other peoples flaws to make up for their own.

That's how I know you wear the pants in your relationship ;). Plus you said you wanted to work for the police and your boyfriend wants to do programming so it's crystal clear to me. But that's a good thing because most men need a woman to whip them into shape and make sure they are not slacking off, getting lazy and bludging their way through life. So it's a good thing. :)

If I left him to his own devices he'd have hair down to his arse and be unemployed at 30 :P He's bipolar so I recognise it when he's on an up and put it to use! If we need to make a decision about something we discuss it together :)

This explains the perpetual nature of my single life. =|
*lowers bar to beating pulse and animal lover*
XBryanFuryX
Yeah being stuck single is annoying, but I still think that you should never lower your standards in order to stop being single. (And yes I know you were joking about the standards)
Yes the majority of girls I meet are lame and don't interest me so it makes it harder for me to get a relationship, but so what? I would rather be single than with some idiot who I can't stand being around...
yeh i know what u mean..ive had gf like that, i didnt rly like her attitude, but had like an obligation feeling to date her, that sucks, i was dating her for 3 months till i couldnt stand it anymore and just told her that i dont want be together anymore, she said im a jerk -_-
Yeah I know this quote is old as hell but I was working all day...
Anyways, this is why I do alot of thinking before putting the effort into trying to start a relationship. In fact right now I am torn about a girl I work with and I am more leaning to the no side. She may be cute (Those may remember me mentioning her, she looks ALOT like Taylor Swift) and fun, but theres a big maturity gap and we also don't really share any interests....
Social rank. Believe me. This is the most important thing.
If their just physical I've heard that shoulders, arms, chest and behind are what women like. Also some facial features. Generally big and muscly, but not TOO.
If you mean mentally.. Playfully, funny, charismatic, SOCIAL, leader, alfamale....
Then again this is just the most popular/hawt girls. Average girls aren't that picky to be honest.
