I have an observation too. Anyone else notice that justjake has nothing to say on any topics besides the ones he starts himself? Funny, that.
The problem is location, not you.
I had similar problems when I lived and was dating down south. “You’ve NEVER been married? And you don’t have ANY kids?” when I was **30 **was a ridiculous question, as was, “Wow, you’ve read all those books?” when a guy saw the overflowing bookshelves in my apartment. :smack: I also didn’t care one bit if the Gators or Bulldogs or 'Noles won, or if a small thermonuclear device went off in the middle of the Jag-wires game. And I hate beer.
Throw in a good deal of secondary education, and as a woman, you are out of the market. No one wants the sports-indifferent bluestocking.
I only date rich people who own Maseratis.
Bwahahaha

A lot of people like to blame the opposite gender–in my experience, it’s more likely men blaming women–when they can’t get dates. But when you look at what you’re complaining about, it doesn’t make sense. If a woman is looking for something you’re not, unless your goal is a fling, it’s unlikely that you’d be happy in a relationship with such a woman. I guess it’s possible that you’d find out you have other stuff in common than that and could be happy, but you’re not playing the odds, especially if she says that’s stuff that’s important to her.
It’s also possible that she’s not into you for other reasons, maybe she’s not attracted to you, or there’s some other thing in your profile or something you said or just a gut feeling that’s either not something she’s comfortable actually using as a point of rejection, so it’s easier to just reject you for something that’s obvious and immutable about you. After all, it’s quite annoying to someone to give an honest rejection to someone, and have them get mopey and say they’ll change.
That all said, I will say it is darn annoying in my experience when I’ve been rejected for something that either is something that’s a good thing, or for not being something I am. Now, again, maybe it’s just a cover on her part, but I’ve been rejected for being too smart, too good looking, too kind, etc. Maybe they thought I was out of their league or not being authentic or something, I dunno. Either way, as annoying as it is, I still don’t blame them. Seriously, if someone is rejecting me based on something that I am, especially if it’s something I see as either fundamental to who I am (like my passions and beliefs) or a positive quality, it’s just saved both of us a lot of time and energy and pain from an eventual break-up because of incompatibility.
I think people SHOULD be judgmental of people they’re dating. What else are you doing on a date, or when considering setting up a date, besides sizing them up to see if they’d be a good match? By all means, no one is perfect, but you still need to make judgments. Being judgmental is only a bad thing if it’s based on prejudice, whims, or irrelevant things, but when it comes to a relationship, I’m not even sure how much actually could be that, not only because so much of it is highly subjective, but because it’s self-selecting. And, really, if you’re not having fun and it’s making you feel bitter with the experience, take a break. Dating should be fun. Sure, you’ll have the stinker of a date from time to time, but I’ve still generally enjoyed dates, even if I was ultimately rejected or I wasn’t into her.
American women really want nothing more than a man with a solid grasp of spelling and syntax, but they find it’s easier to put the OP off with the whole “macho man who rides four wheelers” shtick.
They wish you were something more than jake.
City folk just don’t get it!
It took more than a decade, but I managed to turn my wife from someone afraid of guns to a more staunch advocate of the right to own a gun for self defense than I am.
I think the turning point was when she realized in a country with outlandish gun ownership restrictions every two bit thug has one.
Damn i like all that shit too! But i don’t do roids!
Guess i should go to jersey?
I just kinda assume that the more moronic the activities the men the woman likes are into the smaller his dick is. And he uses that to compensate.
For example, if a woman doesn’t like me because i don’t smear dirt on my face and ride HUGE trucks out into the dirt i just assume the reason that guy drives a huge truck is to compensate for his fairly small penis size.
Then, regardless of rejection, i feel happy about my self AND penis size.
I’m a southern girl (TN) and I’m not looking for any of that!
I just want to find a guy who will gently rub my shoulders as I sit here arguing with people on the internet. I don’t know why they’re so hard to find!
I spent a good part of my dating years attracting the wrong kind of women. I had adopted a style from my neighborhood that very poorly reflected who I actually was. I was all I knew so it took me a while to figure out I could change that.
Well, someone has to be happy with your penis size.
Honestly, it’s because they have standards and don’t want to date guys who suck.
Do you know how much time me and my friends had to spend looking fly for the bitches back when we were in our teens and 20s? A lot.
I’m from the Northeast though. I can’t really speak to Southern girls. People down south seem like they’re into this whole New World aristocracy thing.
How you doin?
