Nataly 38 #77 December 7, 2009 QuoteQuotePersonal opinion....it's easier to be single as a girl then a guy. 50% of the population is female, the other half is guys. I don't see how single chicks have it easier than single guys or how women can "magically" find a guy any more than a man can't just run out and find a girl if he really just puts effort into it. A lot of good points here MarkM.. Shah - your premise that women just need to walk up to any random guy still works on the basis that we are after "looks" and are just looking to "hook up". I think there is a *reason* why if you ask 100 women what they want in a man that like 90% of them will say personality/sense of humour.. Could it be that it's the truth??!! I don't think it's any big secret that men are generally attracted to beautiful women, and women generally like guys with charisma.. I know this is a generalisation, but all I'm trying to illustrate is that character, like beauty, is a rare trait. So it's difficult for either sex to be able to claim that they have a harder time than the other when it comes to finding a good partner - it's a bit like comparing apples and oranges.. You could easily come up with tons of counter-argument to say that *women* have a harder time than men, but it would be difficult to actually prove that either gender has it better/worse.. The fact is that it *must* be difficult for both genders, because there are plenty of people from BOTH sexes who are single and not happy about it.."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shah269 0 #78 December 7, 2009 I'm sorry I did not know. My bad. But wouldn't it be great! Ladies, do you think you have the guts to do it? And if so, can you come back and let us know how it went? And Nat has chickened out......Nat....come on! Don't chicken out! Prove me wrong, prove me wrong in that being single for a girl is "hard" and full of potential rejection. Find a guy any guy who sparks your interest, walk up and introduce your self. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I'm sure to get a beating over this (especially after my post in the name the Rack thread).... I find Shah Intriguing. I also find his post's (not all) quite refreshing, and funny at times. Yes, his post's can be quirky, and they sometimes seem a bit neanderthal in nature, but he (in his mind) is honest and truthful with his thoughts. They are just generalizations, he doesn't directly attack anyone... Why is it so hard to just enjoy his uniqueness vs. everyone attacking him. I would actually like to meet Shah one day and enjoy some friendly banter with him. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

davjohns 1 #81 December 7, 2009 QuoteShah, Girls, If you haven't already done this, go up to a guy you think is attractive, physically or otherwise and introduce yourself. You know, If one woman does this they may think you're crazy. But if Two, can you imagine if TWO women did this. Well, they may think your gay. But if THREE WOMEN DID THIS, well they'd call it a movement. (paraphrased from a famous holiday song. 3 pts if you know which one) . The prosecutor looked at those hundreds of 8X10 color glossy photos; each one with circles and arrows on it and a paragraph on the back explaining what it was about - then he looked at the Judge's seeing eye dog.... Chorus - You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant...I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to have an interest in owning a horse at one point so I'd read the horseback forums for Florida. In one forum the women there were lamenting that there's no men in the sport, outside of the business side of it. So yeah, that definitely happens.
