 |
|
It seems ludicrous that many ads in the 'girls looking for guys' section want a man who is professional, successful, etc. etc.
why would such a man need to browse gumtree in order to find a girl? A professional man, be he a lawyer, doctor, accountant, financier, banker, etc., with a modicum of social confidence and intelligence would have no problem finding dates and making friends. Right? |

| Oh how so wrong...Me successful yes, professional yes (run my own company) aged over 40 Single...never married...lived with partner once a long time ago..To be successful you have to make sacrafices and that included love life...you either concentrate on career or social life...I chose career and done very well, but difficult to find that special one...To many long hours and weekends in the office building the career. Those who become partners in big firms are expected to give all their time to the Company. To many girls in bars just want to just drink to oblivion, but in professional circles most ladies are already spoken for, so unless you get introduced to a sister or relation of a friend very difficult. Been there still there got the t shirt...So if you need to let of steam then those pages are worth trawling..... |

Pray tell us what company it is you run. It's not one of those "work from home" or "internet" businesses? Surely you come across people (and hence potential dates) in your work life? |

| It is not easy to find what you are looking for on these sites but it does not mean that decent hardworking women are not looking for decent hardworking men. You know the old adage of having to kiss many frogs....the same rule applies here. SOME women are mercenary and only want what they can get from men and likewise some men are disrespectful with their expectations. Also, I find a lot of men in their 40s are looking for much younger girls who then see them as an easy mealticket. Life..... |

you said...

Nope..I am an IT consultant who sells his knowledge and time to banks and financial companies to keep their systems updated and running...as I said on 1 of the other threads...looking across this office I count 81 people today....80 blokes 1 secretary(married) sitting in the corner...IT is a very male dominated industry, hence very difficult to meet anybody...and support usually means weekends and evenings as well...so social life gets knocked for 6 !! but the inancial rewards give me a good lifestyle, a AAAAA Credit Rating with Halifax and nnot worrying about where my next meal ticket is coming from!!! |

| Wurz, not all women are strange. It is those airheads who do not know themselves that make men confused. There are the odd confident few who know exactly who they are and are then able to present themselves as they truly are, but because of those gameplaying wenches the confident ones are not recognised or are considered to be too independent! |

Hi!!
Very amusing!! We are all odd in our own ways but then so are guys!! i think we all expect a bit much to be trying to understand each other fully!!
It adds to the fun sussing each other out! But i agree game playing is WRONG and so immature unless it involves stripping!!
I have found tho that its the guys who are playing games yet to find a straight forward normal one im afraid!!

Ditto. Know the feeling exactly. And it's not just meeting women - it's meeting the right woman. |

Awww!
You know its interesting reading this thread as a woman, and seeing you (guys) views.
I think many women are in the same boat you know!
In terms of the dating site and women asking for 'successful professional men' sure - its unlikely that such men would trawl this sort of site for date...but what woman would say they are looking for an 'unemployed loser'?! : ) |

Thats wrong.
I think we should first understand the INTERNET to solve this..
INTERNET or what ever you call it, is not something different from our lifes.
I know lots of celebrities or succesfull man/woman who use internet to find date or establish relationships ... Or just to spend time.
Its about the structure of INTERNET.
Supply and Demand..
According to your theory, all the men here in this site and millions of people registered to millions of websites are all unsuccesfull, unprofessional, who doesnt have self-confidence or intelligence and poor ?
I am happy with my life. And with my work. I got on offer from a very reputable company which pays me double times more and changed my job recently. I have lots of friends that I keep in touch for 20 years. Never had trouble establishing communications or relations in society. Have lots of hobbies and I believe I m an intellectuel. But I love using internet for meeting people too...
Besides, I believe everyone has some talent or ability.. The point is just not all of them can use or bring out that ability.. |

well, you just don't specify financial status and go for personality etc, irrespective of their financial situation. |

Fair point. But I don't think all people specify financial status as a way to gain anything (although I don't doubt most do!)....
If you are a well off person, you might fear that you might pull a sponger, so you might stipulate that the other person be employed.
I don't know! I'm not very good at this sort of thing....just trying to think about the reasons why from different viewpoints! |

Oh right. 82 blokes including you and just one secretary for all the paperwork you create. No internal accounts department, reception staff, admin or support either. You are so full of shit it's untrue. Equal opportunities would have taken you to the cleaners in any case.
Have a good one knocking one out at home on your own. |
