Wait a minute, I want more of Tony and Geck0. They're better than Adam and Dr. Drew on "Love Lines."

ASK YUKORIN...
90% of my friends are female. I prefer them for several reasons. Never had problems about the subject (finding a girlfriend). One clue is not to think about girlfriend as a supermarket item. Other clue is not to "search". Just wait until something clicks in your mind - heart - stomach. When interested in someone, be yourself. Don't act silly or funnier - cleverest than you actually are. Do not idealize. My few male friends are the kind of guy that thinks about "looks" as a very deep human quality. The fact is, people in love has their eyes closed most of the times.

Never had a problem with the ladies in high school - I looked good then.,. Been married for 6 years and with said lady for over 10. Life is good.

I am hardly qualified to discuss success with women - or am i? i have been married and divorced twice, had many long relationships, dozens of short ones, so i can't complain, i'm an expert on how not to pick the right woman
from reading some of the above threads i say guys, remember girls are people who feel exactly the same as you, they're not aliens from another planet - friendship is the most important thing, i've learned that to my cost. As for now, i'm "resting" between wives.
PS my most successful chat-up line - "fancy a......drink"

I am of course very skilled with the ladies....
Has to be said the World would be a much better place if it was populated only by women. Look at the ignornat bozos on this site (no offense meant to anyone, apart from the few, and you know who you are, right!).
My very best friends are women, the people who I share my deepest concerns with and problems with are all women.
Sometimes I just despair with the male of this species...

I'm not in a hurry, because I want a Canadian girl, not a Finnish one.

Oh I quite agree, NA. Most of my close friends are female and they are indeed the easiest to converse with when it comes to concerns and worries. I have a few older male friends (when I say older, I mean 27-30) who are caring guys, but's that because they've lived lives and they've been where most teenagers are at the moment. Sometimes I feel quite happy not having a woman in my life, it saves a lot of hassles and I am far less stressed too. There's no rush for me.

i believe it works like this..........
the male is one thing, the female is another, and when they come together it becomes a third thing.......a very special and powerful thing.
.........but there needs to be a lot of understanding for that third thing to be a good thing!
the two halves make a whole if they work together, it takes two to make it work, and it takes two to make it fail. It's collusion, and sometimes it takes a while to find the partner that fits, but it's amazing when that happens!
(of course I don't exclude gay couples from this)

I've come too the conclusion I have more experience with girlfriends then some of you guys.
And I don't think it's the music, because I met a guy who likes all good prog bands and I find it so sexy.

Well said!
Though it is evident that such an enlightened comment comes from a 'Chick' ! What male has the required sensitivity to make such a statement?

Yes, understanding is the top of the pile for couples for me, without that, the relationship will inevitably fail.
I like my own time, doing things I want to do, so an overbearing girlfriend would not be for me. Clingyness is not for me.
From experiencing some of my female friends, I find girls seem so bored nowadays and they crave for a guy and then when they do get one, they're overbearing and clingy. I've seen it with my own eyes and I feel sorry for some of the guys, because they're too nice to say anything about it.

Then they married the wrong person.
One day you'll meet a girl who'll give you the feeling that just listening to her voice is a 100 times more beautiful then listening to your favorite cd.

O I can't stand girls who don't give their guys any freedom. I had a girl like that in my class and she was always annoyed when her boyfriend was out with his friends instead of with her.
I always told her to let the guy have some time for herself.
And then she started saying mean stuff like "You give your guy too much time for himself, do you even know where he is?"

Exactly, both of my best friends used to be like that, but they seem to have calmed down a bit since they've been stable relationships.
Just because men are generally idiots and don't always understand women, doesn't mean women should take them for granted. A lot of guys are compassionate and want the best from a girlfriend and truly do love them, yet a lot of women seem to get paranoid when they're not with them, that their boyfriend is out with other girls. I've seen it numerous times.
Of course though, men are the worst, so I'm not solely having a go at women here. I admire women actually and men generally treat them like dirt.

Currently, I'm trying to move in on a friend of mine who's dating this guy who has been acknowledged by me and my friends as a "total prick." She even dumped him at my suggest, but got back together.
We'll see how it goes.

ONe thing I've noticed about girls in general, in a relationship, is that they are passionless. What I mean is that they get up, go to work, come back from work, go to sleep, start all over again... No hobbies, pastimes, or passions whatsoever. They are so fully concentrated on their professional lives that they end up missing everything else worthwhile. We men (read overgrown kids) are more hobby-prone it seems, and that is why we need OUR time, and most women don't seem to understand this.
Well I am a lucky b*****d! My girlfriend has her passions and hobbies !!!

Not in the case of my particular female friends, until now. They always wanted to party, pick up guys and quite often they didn't even go to work the day after. Luckily they've changed for the better, but it is worrying indeed. That's why they're clingy, because they don't have any hobbies and they don't want to be alone. I'm not a woman, but I enjoy my own company (it used to be the complete opposite, I used to hate my own company so much, I used to always go out and be with people) and it's my observation that women don't generally enjoy their own.
