When guys are ready to stop being Jerks, I'm ready to date. So, I think we can safely say I'll never be ready... ;)

I know I'll be prepared to date again when I'm ready to have my self-confidence shattered by the wit and scorn of a wrathful woman (I think I'm ready now!!!)

I would definitely be ready to date again if I could find a woman who matches the requirements of the perfect woman as set forth by George Constanza on Seinfeld (see below).

Great thread. What i dont understand tho is the thought process of some of the ladies i have been out with lately. For some reason after 1 date they have the idea we are exclusive. I am flattered but 1 date isnt enough to know if that person is a potential spouse. I mean i am twice divorced doesnt that throw up a red flag. As much as id like to say it was all my ex wives fault that isnt the truth. I am trying to follow Gods word and become the man He wants me to be but im not there yet. I guess what im saying is date and have fun just dnt make each date a matter of life or death.

How this #statistically# or #seriously# was thoughtor commented here?

I would take a bath (even using soap) before meeting with a date. 21people 77.78%




  • I think MANY are too young.
  • Others were kidding
  • Other were enbarrased or sadly discouraged.
Others don t like taking their shower (out of my busines).

Just wondering what would have been the "statistically" and real result of this post.

Please, if any knows, I beg to be poked or informed. If no attention paid, I havent known.

Thanks Mss Kim!
