there's also:

manners
how you dress
smiling
looking them in the eye
verbal cues showing that you are listening to her
questioning her on things that are important to her


these can all be done by good-looking, ugly, fat dudes, skinny dudes....dudes who climb on rocks.....

Y'all are suppose to be discussing these things in the group! What good is a brotherhood if it hasn't any brothers?

This is why Cyphercat founded the brotherhood, so that we could discuss these things without them trying to confused us with lies
I'm hoping you're joking. I hadn't pegged you as one of those. I'll just assume this is dry wit per Animus.

This may be quite possibly the most important contribution to this thread.
If your testimony is true, then maybe, just maybe, the twinge of aching you feel when you know you will never be appreciated for the deep down within you, and that no one will ever be able to see that past your vanity
It might be enough that others will never have your vanity, which they think they need, to attain what you seem to disdain.

Do you believe you will live with this thorn for the rest of your life?

Like the Elizabeth Taylor falling in love with the Elephant Man, is the fulfillment of your longing just as likely?
You may be doing the poor more of a service than you will ever realize.

You may experience a drug like rush when you fall in love, but do you always ache knowing that you will never be truly known and accepted for who you are?
Does it make you ache inside, as much as the people who think they will never have the love that you experience ache?
Its true. And no I won't live with it forever... I think I've made a pretty good job of disguising myself. :D It'll be okay.

Your perfectly fine, no problem what so ever. And your right too. I think I did feel a bit vain. And you know that is yet another reason why I don't like it, being attractive. I struggle with vanity. I'm sorry. Its something I have to deal with.

Your advise or opinion matters, its good to hear other people give it. And I think you misunderstood me or something because you said "Looks aren't everything" while I was implying that point very strongly. I said, I hate it when girls care about what I look like. Why? Because I KNOW that "Looks aren't everything." I understand that and thats where I'm coming from. So, yeah...

And apology accepted :p
Hey we all have our personal problems man! Mine is that i hide behind my weight. Im afraid to loose it because i know im pretty when im skinny. And most the time when i was small it garnered the wrong type of attention. I wasnt used to men hitting on me or flirting, never really been that kind of girl. Im usually accepted as one of "the dudes" which i like because i dont deal with unwanted attention. Even though i know my weight isnt healthy for my body it causes a lot of health problems in my case but it still doesnt take away the fear. Our insecurities and issues are different.

One of my best friends was a guy and we went to school together at job corps. We became friends on the outdoors club, and we became best buds the day we sat in the smoking area on campus and had a competition of who could hawk the best loogie and spit it the furthest. We had about 20 ft to the next building and he had told me "theres no way dude, that a chick can out spit a guy" SO i had to prove him wrong of course lol i won and we have been friends going on 8 years. My other guy friend i met at the same place in my trade, i studied drywall finishing and commercial painting. We were on break one day and we had been joking around about my workout using a punching bag. We traded a couple of punches and then he hauled of and gave me a dead leg, it hurt like the dickens! So i in turn returned the favor, and we ended up dead legging each other for a good hour. needless to say neither one of us could quite walk right after that but it was fun. He was also a man that was afraid of a giant snapping turtle we found while in trade and had all the guys dare me to pick it up so i did not a big deal. It ended up peeing a jetstream and i ended up chasing the guys with a turtle. Id rather have fun than to be considered a girl to "chase"

It can also be about attitude and body language. If someone tries to carry a conversation with another and it's all negative or they act aloof, that seems like, hmm well he/she isn't interest, I'll move on.

Since this seems like another He man woman hating club, I want to say. Women aren't horrible evil money grubbing jerks.

Do you ever go to Wal-Mart??? Look at the couples there, I see a different mix of couples in that store. I don't stand there and judge them, but you might see the good looking couple, the normal looking couple, the couple fighting with their 7 year old about not getting a toy (that would be us). My point is there are no perfect cookie cutter couples.

This is nonsense. I didn't marry a rich skinny guy, he didn't marry a rich skinny girl. I was thinner than then I am now So he was he. I also had a bout with some health issues, I had two babies and my body changed. Not horribly but it did. My husband's has to, we both has a little gray now. We both have a couple achy joints. I've been with this man through many things. That's what it is about. Do you think some woman is going to marry you and not expect you're body and your mind to change????

I'm a little tired of reading these negative attitudes towards women. Wisebearman I am not directing this at you, I'm sorry if it seems that way. I think you're a funny and seem nice.


The whole mindset I read from so many young men on this page though is "Women want money and looks and blah blah blah." Do you guys even bother to read what most of us have said? It's really irritating to me when I read that stuff. Most of these young women posting here want a nice Christian man who will treat them well.

Is that so hard? I don't think so. Do you think Cyphercat is single because he's overweight? Did you ever read his weird rantings in the young adults forum? He's an addict with problems. He shouldn't even worry about finding a girlfriend he should worry about his substance abuse. THIS IS WHY HE'S SINGLE. He's not an unattractive guy, but seriously why would any self respecting woman get involved with someone who has willingly put out, I'm an addict, but maybe you can fix me. Say what? We can't fix you, God can fix you, you can fix you. But we can't change your lifestyle, your attitude or your bad habits.

My friend lost her husband two weeks ago. She is my age 43, he was a little older. When they were dating he fell off the back of truck broke his neck and was paralyzed from the waist down. They got married, he was an active charming man. He was kind and loved her and their daughter. They where happy. In the last couple years due to his accident he had a lot of health problems. I'd see them after Doctor's appointments at the store or cafe, or where ever. He died, she loved him. He loved her, for better or for worse. You didn't look at them and say, what is that pretty woman doing with that guy in the wheelchair? If you met them you'd see a happy couple, because they loved each other. This is marriage, not all of us end up in a wheelchair, but things happen. My Dad was horribly sick with cancer, did my Mom leave? NO.

Stop this women/ men nonsense it's immature and silly.

Sorry

Another thing, if you don't like your butt, your arms, your stomach, whatever, don't look for someone woman to fix the part of you that you don't like. If you don't like yourself, you will not like yourself after you meet Mr. or Miss Perfect either. I know, I hated myself. I thought marriage, family would make me so happy. It did make me happy, but you can't run from the issues that are causing you pain and Mr or miss miracle can't fix them either.

I went to therapy, I pray to God. I find peace and solace in his word.

We (women) can't fix self hatred, it doesn't work like that.

I'm thankful there's no Wal-Mart in the Netherlands...
