American women do not know what that is.Zehn - Vhex said:The decent ones?

HOYOOOO
Grad school maybe, but at my school 80% of the females are 18-21 and not worth the time(that is even if you can find one without baggage).kegkilla said:at that age most of them are going to be in college or grad school.

schools usually have organized activity things like trips to museums and shit like that. try something like that.Phoenix said:Grad school maybe, but at my school 80% of the females are 18-21 and not worth the time(that is even if you can find one without baggage).
heh, that"s like an eternity. Although I suppose that can be tempered by how often you see each other. I wouldn"t say I have rules or even guidelines, but in the past 5 years (I"m 30 now) I haven"t waited past 3 dates except for with one girl. But I think it was the 4th with her. And that"s dating quality girls in their early 20"s to early 30"s. However that"s "real" dates, like dinner and a show/movie/concert/game or something else that takes up the better part of an evening. Shit like a quick coffee or drink doesn"t count.Sharmai said:I can tell you these days that dating for more than 4 weeks before putting out is likely the extreme limit for men 25+.
Atlantis, near as I can figure.Phoenix said:So where do all the decent early to mid 20s women hang out at?
You"re talking about the past, I"m talking about the current times and the future. Times have changed and the "rules" change as each year passes. That"s how it is. Women are damn near obligated to exhaust whatever means necessary to chase their youth. Even if the child"s father is not in their life and no actual drama comes with them, they"re still viewed as baggage. Dating a single mom is just not cool. That"s how it is.Seths said:Right, I know a lot of single moms too, but at what age range? The ones I know are all in their 20"s and early 30"s. The ones I knew that were in their 30"s when I was growing up are all married now and have stayed married. What I was getting at is how many little old ladies do you see that were single moms the majority of their lives until their current age? The only old ladies I know that are single are single because their husbands have passed on.
I guess my point is that women who become mothers at an early age in life and then become or stay single usually end up finding the right guy for them at a later stage in their lives. From what I"ve seen it usually entails them staying together and being much happier in their marriage than people I"ve seen and known who got married right out of college.
Like you though it"s all anecdotal evidence and is just my personal perspective.
Speak for the girls you date, son, not for women.Silence said:Women don"t like to do anything ending in ING unless it has SHOPP or BITCH in front of it.
Is that a bad thing? I don"t think its really any of my business and I"m not about to give a woman a -internet because of anything like that at all. It sounds almost as if you"re expecting men to think about it and give certain women a pass, when for me I don"t really think about it at all (no passes needed because I don"t care). And I know some men might be like that, but having a child out of wedlock or divorcing because of abuse doesn"t even come into the equation. What concerns me is what I would have to deal with *NOW*...if the mother has issues, or if I look at a woman and her current frightening family dynamic, then I care. I"ve tried puttingthatstuff out of my mind before and soldiering on, but in the end I had to accept that there are things I can"t or shouldn"t attempt to fix.Ravvenn said:Not like many men truly give a shit about how the child came about.
Yes, all single mothers do get lumped together. But the rest of the above, I don"t think guys care whether it was rape or immaculate conception. All I think most guys care about is kids or no kids, bitch or not a bitch, crazy or not crazy, soap opera or not a soap opera. And attractive or unattractive, I"d be lying otherwise.Ravvenn said:Sadly we sort of all get categorized as irresponsible sluts in one way or another. You could be a good person, you could have been raped (then they avoid you thinking you"re headwrecked) or you could have been married and got cheated on (then they avoid you thinking you"re jaded) -- regardless of the situation, single moms aren"t as desirable as childless women are.
It depends. Younger women have downsides as well, such as being immature and unexperienced (I used to have my bar set at 21+, and I currently seem to be at 25+ or higher). Really it depends on the man in question here. Is he ready to take on the challenge of children as well? And even I was never sure about that question and I"m not sure now, but I"ve made a go of it in the past /shrug. When I think back to the mothers I had relationships with, pretty much all of them were pretty awesome. It was just that after a while, when the kids came into play and we had dated long enough that there needed to be some integration, that "family" dynamic crashed and burned. A lot of the time I"d seen the insanity and knew what I was in for if I stayed the course, and I jumped ship sooner rather than later. Other times it wasn"t visible until much later, and that just made it painful. Hell, I had one single mother drop me instantly the very first time I expressed a reservation about her and the kids. She said I was wasting her time, and all I had brought up was some things I thought we would need to work on if we kept seeing each other - which I had been more than willing to do. A lot of single mothers want to beTHEchild rearer, it"s hard to do alone and as a result many have problems, men naturally expect discipline of some degree, and as soon as I touched on the subject she told me we were done. WTF. Hopefully she"s happy with some floormat that simply reiterates the "yes dear, no dear" responses repeatedly and lets her wear the pants in the relationship while he gets relegated to the role of the familial Caspar Milquetoast.Ravvenn said:I"m not saying all men think this way, but I will say that I feel if I took a guy who I had great chemistry with and we had a lot in common then put a childless woman next to me who didn"t have as much in common with the man as I do, she"d probably still get picked over me. Then if she were younger than me, had the same upbringing, or cultural background as him...I"d be screwed.
I"ve never noticed that myself, but it"s probably sue to my massive girth.Sharmai said:Well there is one other thing that attracts men to childless women which is that they are still tight down there.
Whoa dude, uhh, no. That"s your chick, not all of them.Sharmai said:For me personally I can describe the difference like this (yes my wife practices cugels and our baby was small FYI): before the baby she was tight burgeoning on painful and when wet it you could feel the pulse of her heartbeat through your groin. Now I can only feel that pulse during her orgasms and while it is still decently tight before orgasm it loosens way the he"ll up after. Usually after she orgasms the pressure loss is enough that the pleasure is downgraded to much to continue in that position.
raped? really? that subset of women is extremely small, and if a woman wasn"t willing to abort the fetus of a rapist that was forced inside her i"d be questioning her judgment and sanity rather than how responsible she is. i also don"t buy "i"m divorced because my husband cheated on me" as a good excuse for being a single mother. when men cheat it"s usually only a physical thing. if that"s the case, is that reason enough to put your child through hell and leave the man you married? well, there"s obviously a lot of other variables at play there, but more often than not i feel it shouldn"t be if there is a child involved. when you start to look at the subset of divorced women with children, it becomes a matter of "well, she couldn"t make a marriage work with the father of her children, what"s the likelihood that this one will work?" i don"t have any numbers to back this on hand, but i would bet that statistics show women who have been divorced are more likely to divorce again than women who haven"t.Ravvenn said:You could be a good person, you could have been raped (then they avoid you thinking you"re headwrecked) or you could have been married and got cheated on (then they avoid you thinking you"re jaded)

How many single mothers do you know in the age range of 45 - 80 do you know of today? Personally I don"t know any that aren"t single because, like I said, their husband passed on. I would wager that whatever the number is it is very small. I would also bet good money that 10 - 20 years from now when today"s crop of 20 - 30 somethings single mothers are in that age range they too found love again and were able to marry or re-marry.Ravvenn said:You"re talking about the past, I"m talking about the current times and the future.
