I've been trying to get back in to dating after being alone for 14 years. My last family member died a few years ago and I have problems with women wanting to date me because I had lost so much.
Now that I've gained a ton of hobbies and am making more money I figured since I've finished renovating my house, I'll try to get a girlfriend and see what happens. Well you meet these girls at church or at volunteer groups and none of them seem to do anything outside that. They just go to bars and get drunk. They want to put on too much makeup and stay drunk in all their free time. None of them want to go build something, hike somewhere, go overseas and see things you wouldn't see at home, play music, experiment cooking or whatever you can think of that is different. They just want to go out from bar to bar to bar with a digital camera just taking pictures of them and the 2 or 3 other friends they are with as they get drunker and drunker.
It doesn't make sense to me, all girls do when I'm around them is complain about how they can't find a man that has goals in life. They say they want someone that will provide for them and wants to do more than just watch TV. I haven't turned my TV on in 3 months. I just got a new job getting paid a 6 digit wage and I love what I do. I filled my passport up this year with stamps form all over the world. Every page in my passport is covered with stamps. I'm planning next year to ride my motor cycle across country because I get 3 months off a year from work. After work all I want to do is experiment with cooking like my grandfather used to do. I always want to explore or do something interesting. I'm sick of sitting around and for some reason this seems to scare off most of the women I come across in the world. I don't even care about looks, all I care about is if she can keep me interested while I talk to her.
What's the point in dating when girls say that but in reality they just end up at the bar with their friends drunk every night? Why waste life this way? There is too much to see and do in the world to waste it in a state where you probably won't remember what you did the next day Why not go out and do something and be proud or amazed at what you've done or seen? I don't understand why the women I've met that are 26-31 act this way.
wow...dont know what to say bout those girls...seriously. I just know not all females are the same and it's unfair to make that generalization. I for one go fishing, hunting and all kinds of other activities with my bestfriend. we will find ourselves at a bar once every few months but usually get bored within an hour and go off looking for trouble again. when we are not with each other I'm studying for my welding cert. and going to school. I play with cars and my dog. she's a bondsman which is a 24hr job but finds time to play with her kids and go through her emt training. this is all just an example of the fact that some of us have goals and do more than worry about shoes and what outfit is out of season.
Well lets just say you are definitely the type of man that I would look for. I have to admit it is hard these days to find someone who wants more out life than just partying all the time.
But to answer your question, I would suggest discovering other local places in your area to meet women. For example, a fine dining restaurant with great food. If it is pretty pricey, there might be women there who can afford it. If you are into arts, try museums, theatere, art galleries, etc. If there are cooking classes of some sort, or go to a farmers market.
I would suggest travel groups too, especially if you want to see the world. Their are a lot of singles, if not friends you could make that may have someone of interest for you to date. Also there are singles cruises too. So many singles to choose from.
If I were older; youd be the perfect man for me! id want to be committed to you.
i hate drinking, I've never gotten drunk. I've never done drugs. i love traveling, have been to many countries and want to visit about 20 more. i love trying new things, and cooking might be one of them if I ever got around. i like reading, I like going to the park
and digital camera hmm the only times I'm in pictures is when I used to model I guess
First of all sounds like you are just finding the wrong kinda girls... Never and I mean Never lose your integrity and never lose your passion for life and new things! no matter who you meet! You seem very outgoing and very "take life as it comes and make it what you want it to be"... that is an awesome perspective. Quit looking for girls and love... Normally when you look for it ... it never comes but when you sit back and preoccupy yourself in the mean time... it will find you. Who knows you may meet someone riding your motorcycle across country... it sounds like you are a busy full of life man that has no time to waste on unmotivated, drunken, doing nothing with their life girls. Do what you do and it will come to you. In the meantime... be happy with all your adventures... you sound like an incredibly heartful man that wants to die knowing he lived life to its fullest and that in my opinion is freaking awesome.
Because they want to-it's their lives and their choice. They may not want to travel or do anything like that with their lives. But I can understand you don't want a lady like that and we're not all the same. I don't like drinking or clubbing which seems to be something my friends don't understand (they're always trying to get me to go out to the clubs). There are many women out there who have ambitions and don't want to waste their life. You're just not meeting the right ones yet obviously. Personally, my only ambition in life is to enjoy it. I don't have a job so I hardly have any money but I enjoy everyday and that's all I care about. Life's too short :)
You sound like you've just had a bad string of dates. Not all females are like that, just like we women have to realize that not all men are like that. It can go both ways. Unfortunately, though, you ARE describing what seems to be a cultural trend. Most of the people my age tend to do nothing but barhopping and partying, and it seems like I can only find a handful of people who care about anything else. So I understand where you're coming from, but you have to realize that there are good people out there you can connect with.
Perhaps you should use your hobbies to find someone to connect with. Join a hiking group, a cooking group, find friends online that love to travel. I've met quite a few friends traveling and have stayed in contact with them, and it gives us places to travel (to see each other) and then we can always meet to travel somewhere together. You have to find people that enjoy your same hobbies through networking, and that's probably how you'll meet that special girl. You never know; you could be in the cooking or travel section of a bookstore and meet that girl who will compliment you perfectly.
But you also have to open yourself up to people who live life differently than you, and respect their decision. Some people don't like traveling, music, cooking. Some people don't hike. And that's fine. But you have to find someone that will at least respect what you like to do, even if it's not what they like.
For example, I love traveling. My guy doesn't. So I make him go on some trips, as I feel he shouldn't miss out on them, but I do some of it with other people. He went to Vegas with me in August, even though he had no wish to, but he isn't going to New Orleans with me in March. I'm going with my mom and a few of her friends from work. But he's going to D.C. with me next November. So we compromise a bit. He likes to get out and hike and play sports on the weekend, while I would rather read, so we go our separate ways. But we both enjoy movies, and music, and both love to spend a weekend away at a lake or the beach, exploring. We compromise, because we don't have the same hobbies, and just connect over the ones we have.
ha no offence but you come across as "look at me I've done everything and plan on doing more aren't I great " which I'm sure you don't mean.
and as for girls not wanting to do anything well same as fellas some do some dont
i love to travel, go out, go music festivals, gigs,horseriding,anything new and interesting so doesn't speak for all of us!
and if you meet av girl you like why not bring these things you like to do into your dates so they can experience life from a different angle and they just might like it
I'm 25 and I don't act like that at all. But I understand where you are coming from. I met a ton of guys who were like that. I had to kiss a lot of frogs before finding my prince. ;) I will say this, I know a lot of women who are not like that (not just me). Unfortunately you will just need to be patient and keep your eyes open but not expect to find a gal so quickly. You are still young and have time to find that person. In the meantime keep traveling, cooking and whatnot. Chances are you will find her on a trip or an adventure you are on. Don't give up :)
Not to ignore your question, but who cares why drunks waste their time?
There's two possibilities: they'll never change, or they'll snap out of it and realize how many years they've frittered away on foolishness and have nothing to show for it.
Either way, there are other girls who aren't bar-hopping drunks, but they might take a bit more effort to locate.
Not every person is going to be fortunate enough to be a well rounded as you are, to have traveled and had the oppurtunity to explore many hobbies. Be a little more open to people and if girls don't like you, then that's fine. saves you money and time.
A girl may drive an Audi R8 and think nothing of it and would prefer the V-Beetle because it's cute. Wait until someone test you and know's the potential under the hood.
Aside from that, welcome to dating. Finding that one car you'll want to keep, maintain and fix for the rest your life is no easy task.
PS: You sound very angry and confused as to why women aren't all over you (remember: cocky vs confidence, balance them). Chill out dude, rub one out and be more optimistic. You'll find someone who appreciates what you have to offer.
men don't play mind games, at least not elaborate like women. the way I've always seen it play out women ALLOW themselves to be played. they go into...
