Single ladies

Hi I am Scott and I am single, not in a rush to get involved with anyone and have 2 kids.

Been on a few dating websites with mix results I would say I have average looks nothing special lol but have a good heart.

Trying to understand woman you need a science degree lol spoke to one woman how has 2 kids and one on the way never judged her from the start and we got on well so after getting to know each other she would rather go with someone how would treat her like crap and cheat on her what is wrong with woman lol not the first time it's happened.

I find looks plays a big part in woman looking for men as much as they say they don't, don't get me wrong I am not the elephant man or anything but !!!!!!.

Anyone had similar experiences?

    Women are no different to men, there's a general mix of all sorts, nice, nasty, honest,cheats,funny,boring,spenders,savers,thin,fat blah blah blah

    Maybe it's the type you go for.

    I think any women who's looking to get involved with another guy while already pregnant would ring alarm bells for me.

    You can try not to judge but your gut instinct is usually a good indicator of what's to come!

    Be honest here. In terms of looks would you say this woman was out of your league, the same or lower?

    I think looks matter a lot to both sexes when they are younger.

    I'm pretty sure many women mature & realise that there are far far more important things in a relationship.

    I don't think it's something many men grow out of.....

    Have to agree with kim kim actually. It's not just women who go for men with good looks. Men look for this in women too. :)

    I think it's a natural human instinct to look for someone attractive. I mean, many people will look for a mate, and think 'my babies have a 50% chance of looking like this person.' So I have to say, looks were a fairly important factor when I was seeking a mate when I was a lot younger, and I think, if most people were honest, they would say the same thing.

    Also, when I was under 25, every man I knew - around my age - would not been seen dead with an overweight girl, and even now, I know a few men who prefer thin women. Even if the face isn't great, it doesn't matter as long as she's thin.

    If anything, I would say that men go for good looks on women more than women go for good looks on men ... although I would say women look more for a man who is solvent/well off/rich.

    Despite my jokey tongue-in-cheek comment in my first post, where I said we are a funny breed, I agree with mark5 who said that males AND females have their idiosyncrasies, foibles, faults, flaws, quirks, and positives and negatives. Women are really no more awkward or difficult than men. :)

    Hi I am Scott and I am single, not in a rush to get involved with anyone and have 2 kids.

    Been on a few dating websites with mix results I would say I have average looks nothing special lol but have a good heart... in your opinion!

    Trying to understand woman you need a science degree lol spoke to one woman how has 2 kids and one on the way never judged her from the start and we got on well so after getting to know each other she would rather go with someone how would treat her like crap and cheat on her what is wrong with woman lol not the first time it's happened.. Because she's a moron/thinks she is worth nothing better/likes being the victim/doesn't see a future with you?

    I find looks plays a big part in woman looking for men as much as they say they don't, don't get me wrong I am not the elephant man or anything but !!!!!!. We don't all like the same attributes.. just the same as men!

    Anyone had similar experiences?


    Maybe others see something in you which you are oblivious to or choose to not believe.. What does your ex say? Obviously that relationship failed and it wasn't all her fault surely.. so you're obviously not perfect or gods gift or anything really special.. just like everyone else.. welcome to that realisation!!

    Without knowing anything about the OP's failed relationship, and it's none of anyone here's business, I wouldn't make that leap.

    Sometimes blame really does fall onto the shoulders of just one person in a failed relationship.

    My wife has told me that the thing that first attracted me to her was the car I drove. The first thing that attracted me to her was that she was drop dead gorgeous.
