I've generally found that women who like me are quite flakey, like Phoebe from 'Freinds' but not as attractive or funny and often more dangerous. A real liability in fact. Predictably, the women I really like are usually terrified of my emotional honesty and sense of humour. I dont really 'play the game' I just be myself. Thats why I'm not married.

Sorry to hear about your broken heart. I hope it meands soon...
That principle applies to both men and women. Anyone I have ever felt very strongly attracted to has been completly un-interested in me. It's just a law of nature and there is nothing I can do about it. Sadly, nice women DO like b&stards, and nasty women go for nice men and f**k them over..it's the same on both sides of the fence.

One of the few things I have learnt through experience is that the opposite sex do prefer a guy who is confident of himself (that means assertive, NOT aggresive)...and they do like a bit of romance....so if there's someone you like don't be backward in coming forward, the worst thing that can happen is a bruised ego...which may hurt but you can recover from...but, if you never try, you'll never know. |

No problems at all; in fact, I'm in troubles with the girlfriend right now because of a couple good lady friends that, from her point of view, are too "friendly". I hope shes wrong though; that would be a bit embarrasing. It is not difficult to find real love; you just have to be honest with yourself in terms of what you are looking for, know for sure what is important and what is shallow, be a gentlemen (not kidding) and love yourself (in a healthy way that is). Other tips: think about girls as human beings, not stereotypes; be respectfull, but truly respectfull of their individuality, take the time to know her, etc. I know this for truth, since I'm bald, tiny, a bit fat (but I love food, and one day I'm going to day, and I don't want to think something like "I should have tried that chocolate; now I'm goig to die and I'm not happy"), and I always had good relations with the opposite sex. I think I met great people, clever, creative, interesting people; and then I met Mercedes, she is the best companion I'll ever know. I love her. But it took me 3 years to convince her about the benefis of having her own writter/storyteller/melomaniac/rare bird. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

Man, you have to fix your "balls" problem. Live alone because of being affraid to say "I'm interested in you" is not wothy, and also it becomes an habit. I have a very lonelly cousin who has reached the end of that obscure behaviour: paying for sex or company. Believe me; you don't wanna go there.

¿Would you please answer one thing about that? ¿Why getting married? Many of my friends that are also involved in same-sex relationships often talk about how bad they want to get married, while I think "¿Why would you want that?. You are free, you love each other; why mimic that behaviour, when you have the chance to make your own rules. ¿Is there any advantage, or you just wanted to?. The reason I'm asking this is related to the fact that this country does not allow same-sex marriages. My friends are alwasy talking about that. I know, if it is your wish, nobody should be allowed to say "No". But it sounds so right wing (sorry, ritghwingers); getting married, the mountain of kinds, live a boring life... ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

Andy, would you allow me to disagree? I don't usually like b*stards, at least not those who are explicitly so... and many so-called 'nice' men go for nasty women who make them suffer, then complain that they can't find good women... the thing is, when they find them, they're often not interested! The thing is, men and women have undoubtedly different points of view... I've suffered a lot because of men, but I still prefer them to women as friends and colleagues. |

easy? I don't even talk to a single girl on a regular basis at my school. It's almost as if I'm not allowed to. But, it doesn't mean anywhere near as much to me as it used to, and music (esp prog) has helped fill that hole, so I can live alone and be OK with it -------------

Fred, would you believe that I'm not interested in any of these things? I have my own credit cards, thank you, I can travel by bus (and I usually do), and I hate ordering people about. As to wanting it tonite... it depends on the other person (but it's not really the time nor the place to discuss that ). The result is that I'm alone, while probably the women you described have much more luck... And Ivan, my dear friend...  |

To tell you the truth, I've had no problems meeting and getting together with men as long as they have been foreigners, but meeting men from my native country, Finland, has proven to be a mission impossible, lol... Among one Marockon, one American, more than a few Italians  , one Spanish and one British fellow there has been one, single Finn, who I dated for a whole week some thirteen years ago...! Me and Finnish men just don't seem to be able to find each other on the level of romance, heh!
Hmmm, maybe I really ought to go to that rock festival held here in Helsinki next weekend as Opeth are performing there and I would love to see them live -for sure there wouldn't be a shortage of Finnish men in that audience! Aaand I might just stand out a bit
