Erm you seem to think after your previous post that the thread is now about you.

Sorry no, it carried on on it's own merry way.

Not especially, it's about all of us in one way or another - that's why we're engaged in it. I'm just saying hi and learning lessons from it. And applying them. To solve the problem posed at the top: bringing together the nice guys and the girls who are looking for them.

But others have generalised from the topic without being attacked by you.

I suppose a forum like this can go one of 2 ways: supportive community or bitchy oneupmanship / putdownmanship to get ahead of the competition.

There is a world shortage of nice decent blokes, fortunately for you all the remaining ones seem to be on internet dating sites moaning about girls not wanting a nice guy.

I'm sure your body shape is lovely, feel free to pop into the boobies thread elsewhere to prove it, Laughing

As for the are you that terrible, do you have a habit of setting fire to guys hair when they aren't looking, killing their pets, calling up the powers of beelzebub to smite those who upset you, or throwing peoples drinks away and substituting it with pee whilst they aren't looking? If not it's probably not that either.

Finding someone is just tricky, and it's not getting easier in our throwaway society, so don't expect instant results but keep plugging away. Good luck, and dry those eyes or you'll make them puffy. Smile


this i have to agree with, women moan about wanting nice guys, theres loads around, just women don't really want them

On reflection, I should have dealt with this in a better-mannered fashion. One or more people thought I'd deviated too far from the topic, so I deleted the posts. Sorry if they offended / irritated or whatever.

The best things come to those who wait.

If you could have a (nice) guy at the snap of the fingers, whenever you so desired, don't you think that you would take it for granted?

I know I would! (not a guy of course) Very Happy

As far as the body shape side of things go, I would never rule out someone because they are too fat, too slim, or even how many arms or legs they have.

I do have general rule though not to date pricks.
(that rule is a fairly recent addition, part of growing up I guess).

Now, I'm going to have an ice-cream......

Um, just to be contrary, why is it that if a guy starts a thread similar to this he gets told to pull himself together and stop attention-seeking (as has happened quite a few times over the past year, “oh woe is me”, “I’m so ugly, I can’t get a date”, snivel snivel……) , but when a girl asks this kind of question, she gets an ego-boost?



Fucking right, well said.


I am glad DH said it and not me as I am sure I would have been jumped on for being a bitch. A man like DH can get away with it cuz he's...well, a man. And a popular regular, unlike moi who just gets up people's noses when I say something contrary. Laughing
Oh DH and Moose, you have to realise that the sexes will NEVER be equal!!!

(it goes back to kindergarten anyway - when we were 5 yrs old and fell and scraped our knees and blubbed, I got my knee kissed better while the boys were told to quit snivelling...!)

I remember the end of my son's first term at primary school parent/teacher meeting. His teacher positively complained he didnt make any effort to make friends, yet a girl started with him and on her first day the teacher asked for a show of hands for volunteers to be her new friends! Whats that about eh?

Oooh I digress, sorry. OP - in answer to your first post, if *you* think you are too ugly/skinny/fat/stupid/whatever for anyone to want to meet you, do something about it.
Get new clothes, make-up,eat more, eat less, go to college and learn summat new, whatever it takes for YOU TO LIKE YOU MORE....its the old adage, "if you dont like yourself how you gonna expect others to?"
Sorry to sound harsh, but you know as a woman you have the edge on the men who feel the same way - blokes cant really wear make-up, glittery cute clothes and expect women to fancy them more eh? Wink
Another adage is Be Postive to attract Positive people....but then again, Opposites attract, so stay miserable and you should be surrounded by happy people... Laughing
One thing I have learned though, if you come across as having low self-esteem and desperate, the men will run a mile the other way.....
I dunno, I'm not really helping, am I?

Probably not all of them, but more than likely those that don't will be those that will prey on that.

I actually think the worst are the ones who "need to be needed".

You are 100% right on that, there are many men who lurk on dating sites hoping to take advantage of the women with low self esteem. I could say a lot more on this, but better not, because I'm pissed. Ahem.

Aren't you confusing niceness with being an under the thumb wimp?

Surely a guy can be nice without being a puppet?


Probably..but there is something in the old saying 'treat them mean, keep them keen'

Jegs you are so right.

Works both ways too - come across as needy and pathetic and partners will run a mile....
