I understand. You should be proud you weren't a ladies man. Those guys have fun for a while, but I doubt they ever truly find a good relationship. Dating them is a pretty painful ride too. Better to be a friend to women. In the end those women will wonder if they shouldn't have tried harder with you.

Don't get the wrong idea though... even though I had a good relationship with my mother, I was never a ladies man. Perhaps it is because of that. I was turned down by many a woman that wanted to be treated like crap instead. I guess since I could relate to them, I was always more easily viewed as a friend.
I always kind of admired the ladies man though. He could treat a girl like crap and get another one a week later. Meanwhile, I couldn't get a date if I had to. It all worked out in the end, but it was a painful ride.

For all you nerds out there, think of it this way. We would all love to fool around with Wolverine, but everyone knows Cyclops is the husband material. LOL
Sounds good to me about the steak and massage for men. But Valentine's day is supposed to be a mutual expression of love.. It's not just for women. I hate Valentine's day. I think you should show love everyday, even if it is just cleaning out an ashtray. (very funny by the way) My husband has to tell me when he ran the dishwasher.... Does he really want to hear how much I did today? I don't think so.

If there can be a Valentine's Day then why can't there be a Steak & Massage day for us men? A day where the ladies bring home the biggest steak in the store, cook it up. Then a good massage in " the right spot" and we relax the rest of the day.
Just wondering how you ladies do all that you do, child birth, house chores, shopping, taking kids to events and still find time for your hubby?
I clean an ashtray and I'll talk about it all day.

six kids? Your wife is a superwoman. I bet your home is fun. My husband comes from a family of six kids too. One girl. They are so awesome. I congratulate you on your attitude toward your wife and family. I am glad they have you.

Well I do share the work and responsibility with my wife and I was just having fun. Me and my wife both hate Valentine's Day too and prefer to celebrate our love whenever we can through the year. We have six children so if she had to do it all I'm sure I'd be lonely and divorced and out of money.
I'm thankful everyday for my wife and would do anything for her. I know that when she's happy " I'm happy". So for me in all honesty I appreciate all women who makes a difference in a man's life. I know my woman does that for me and I return what I receive.
I am very happy with all the responses. I had no idea how it would go and I am grateful for all the honesty and humor. I went to sleep thinking about it and woke up thinking about it.
I know I am late in posting but had to read them all. LOL Great thread I loved it. I think a good sense of humor goes a long way. You all have done such a good job staying to the point yet keeping it humorous.

No# 1 problem with that is that you aren't being yourself. Why should you try so hard to please anyone?

Women do like the chase. I think because of a combination of evolution and animal instinct. We do want to be "sought". It makes us feel valued. If you try pretty hard to get us, it looks as if you really like us.

I like men who are not too muscular. Too muscular seems like a fascination with their own bodies. Someone who is sexually oriented only. But that is just my opinion.
Too slender is not attractive to me either. I like a man who knows what he thinks, and will say so, but have enough compassion to understand others as well. I am not attracted to uncaring brutes. In fact I will most likely leave the room.

I only ask for a single answer to help clear up confusion with women... in fact it goes beyond confusion into the realm of cognitive dissonance / cranial implosion.
E.G.
- Girlfriend does NOT like violence, not even violent movies or violent music. Girlfriend LOVES diamonds. Explained to her that the diamond trade is coated in corruption and blood. Every diamond in the store is potentially the cause of multiple deaths, and even if not - the diamond industry itself fuels wars and genocide on a daily basis.
She understands, but doesn't care. She just wants that damn stone that does nothing but look pretty.
If you can manage to drill that logic into my skull, I may just have a breakthrough.

and there in lies the fine art. Not too much, not too little, and you should look natural when you are doing it. We can usually smell the actor, no matter how good they are.

I have always considered myself average in almost every way. So far not too many women have argued with what I have to say. Represented in that average is the average man. It doesn't surprise me that it comes out that way.

There is a poll in YM magazine that states this is position is the majority. Don't ask me how I know.
Ouch! It's true about the teenage years, especially with the girls.... good luck there.

Thank you, but I'm more glad that I have them.
We have a blast but teenage years are around the corner.
I have a question. Why do women insist on a commitment with a wedding band when things are going great?
