HAHAHA!!! I had a girl say that to me once: "Why can't I find a nice guy like you?" Well, um, hello? At the time, I was very available. Now she's married, but not with me.

AISLING: Sorry, I'm very un-available now! My suggestion: Stop looking and a nice guy will land in your lap! Now won't that be fun!

[Michelle]

I'm with you Aisling. I was dating this GREAT "nice" (and he is a nice guy) guy, but not anymore. What's up with guys lately?? Guess I just don't get it. Sorry for all you "nice" guys out there, but there are some "nice" guys that just ruin it.

And no, I am NOT involved with Fin as most of you think. Although he is a very nice guy,and has been a really great friend to me.

[Randy S.]

Michelle is available! Wow, maybe I really do have a compelling reason to come to SES next year! Hmmm...


DWM, 41, 5'10", 195lbs, Loves to carve, Nice Guy...

[Bordy]

Bummer,

Girly Give your self a big hug for me (or ask Fin too with just a little pat on the tush!).

You know all us snowboarders are really just hoodlums in disguise.-Please don't let Christy in on it though.

[Randy S.]

Oh, and I have this to say about this thread...



and let the begin (that's leg humping btw).

Oh, and Aisling, we've seen this picture already, so it doesn't count:

Heard it all before........

This is not a dating service!!!!

Thanks Billy for your words. I'm so bummed about the whole thing. Life has to continue, right??? We'll talk soon I'm sure.
no matter what you think, Christy is a lucky girl!

Aisling, I believe what Michelle is saying is that you and Fin should get together.

I always knew Fin only started this website to get chicks.

[Michelle]

Damnit! You guys saw right through the scam. Man, you guys are S-M-R-T!

[Ghostrider]

hahaha randy s...I havent seen that pic in forever. I almost forgot about it!!!

I don't think youre ever going to get a post off without living that down ais!!

[skatha]

I agree with the relaxing and waiting for things to happen. I was divorced about 5 years ago-in fact, today was my and my ex-'s anniversary. I dated a few guys, each reminded me of the ex- in some "fatal" fashion(no, I didn't kill anybody) then Sam came along.
We bought our house about 2 years ago-got married for real in May....

[Aisling]

man that pic is gonna haunt my ass forever. ah well.

see.. now this is where it gets annoying, everyone assumes (incorrectly) that all us gals want is to get married. i am in NO rush in that dept. i just want a nice, normal, free from insanity and drama, dating thingamajob going on. lol

I hear ya sister! Not everyone wants to get married and do the kids thing. I would be happy with a guy who doesn't want drama in his life, is not abusive, thinks I am worth his time and effort, and respects me. OBVIOUSLY that is too much to ask in this day and age!

skatha, congrats. It's nice to hear there are people who fit the bill. But NONE of them seem to be in my life. And as far as waiting and relaxing, I was single and sooo happy for 4 years before I met this guy - he really took me by surprise. I think you are damned if you do damned if you don't in relationships anyway. So much for trying to play it cool, 'huh?

[Randy S.]

Have you guys tried match.com? I've been meeting women through match since I got divorced and its been great. I've met and dated some wonderful women. Yeah, there are strange guys on there, but there are strange guys everywhere. At least on match you can weed out the really odd ones. Since I don't like hanging out in bars and I'm not much of a pick-up artist, it works well for me.

You can read all about me on match. My profile name is sinecure. Be sure to wink at me.

[skategoat]

Two very good friends of mine met through lavalife.com and eventually got married.

And if you're married and adventurous, there is always www.ashleymadison.com.

Both sites were started by Canadians, BTW.

[Michelle]

Once again, not looking to get married. Thanks for all the dating advice. There is no weeding out of the weirdos, men (and probably women too, I don't know) don't show their true colors until it's too late. Best of luck with all that!

That's funny. I'd never heard of that one. There must not be many members, because there are none in my area (where nearly every person has internet access and uses online stuff for everything).

I think most folks use Craigslist for extra-marital entertainment around here. If you are looking for some entertaining reading, check out the "Casual Encounters" section of CL.

Well since you ladies are far, far away... I can only commiserate in your suffering. In the meantime, all I can offer you is some reading amusement via - Best of Craigslist

Wait a minute.... that's a picture of your ass???

[skatha]

Well, I didn't think I'd WANT to get married again-the ex cheated on me twice. The first I forgave, the second was the end. I had a 14 months old and a 3 year old and 2 jobs to support myself-doctoring doesn't pay what most people think it does...
But there's only so long one can remain chaste without it affecting you....
I actually met Sam on match. He didn't want to get married again, either....

Oh, well....

My Girl and I are just as you describe: Happilly living together without the official title of being married, and no kids, either. Going on 4ish years, too.

Aisling and Michelle: I think a really good way for women to meet quality men is to take up a new sport or hobby in something that is somewhat dominated by men, like flying, scuba diving, kayaking, or sailing, anything like that. Or attend more carving events :-) After all, look at the responses you are getting here. The key is "male dominated". No cooking or quilting classes! In those you will be outnumbered by other women looking for the same thing.

Mainly do it for the fun of learning something new, not as just a way to meet guys. Think of that as a side benefit.

But watch out for the instructors, they will want to sleep with you, and will try various sneaky ways to make this happen. If it does, you become radioactive and the others will hate and avoid you, especially the women. As a flight instructor I see this happen a lot, and I saw it a lot in scuba classes too.

-----------------------------------------
Hey Ladies - I'm 44, a scorpio,I love puppies and other cute, cuddly things, my favorite activities are cooking, winetasting. giving blood, bringing ice cream treats to the old folks at the rest home, and shopping for hours with my special someone. Ha, Ha, Ha!

[Allee]

In support of the internet thing, I met my current guy (2 years and still going) on an internet site. My roommate and I got drunk one night and posted my profile for the hell of it - she was always bugging me to meet someone, and thought it might be fun. I forgot all about it until L emailed me, so I emailed him back (to be polite) and it kinda went from there ...

I have met the nicest guys at the gym. Smile, say hello, bat your eyelashes and ask for a spot, works pretty well. When the talent runs out, change gyms.

Apart from that, just be your fabulous self, don't take any ****, and recognise that he might not be perfect, but he can be trained!

Michelle,


Relationship breakups suck.

[FTA2R]

aisling, i second Steve Dold's rec- try different activities. And yes, it does seem like everyone is doing match or some similar service.

Randy, re: being a "pickup artist," forget bars. Try the supermarket- I met one girlfriend there. I always see hotties in the stores. Focus on the produce section and let the innuendo flow hahaha.

[Steve Dold]

Yeah, the internet works OK. I dated a girl that I met in an aviation chat room for about a year and we're still friends.

Randy is right about Match.com, I tried that once and it was a lot of fun, I met maybe about ten women but it was kind of weird, I didn't "click" with any of them and I'm not sure why. They seemed fairly normal but it felt weird. For me it just seems to work out better if I meet them by accdent, but it was definitely entertaining.

If you meet someone doing an activity, like I described above, you already have things in common and things to do together besides just sitting there at a table "getting to know each other".

I've always wanted to start an on-line dating service that worked like ebay. A guy bids the amount he is willing to spend on the date.

And of course, the most entertaining feature would be the feedback ratings...

You probably want to start with one of us that's already housebroken, then work from there...
