Yes. Especially a dishonest, unfaithful, fanatically religious, abusive child-molesting chimpanzee.

Dude, most men ARE like me.
How many men are going to say "Wow, I want a really slu*ty high maintenance woman who only cares about dressing in the latest fashion and a man who will shower furs and jewels on her"?

Gee I really want to marry her to be the mother of my children.

Hale, From what I have read of your posts I think that you are a smart, well balanced and desirable woman.
Don't sell yourself short.

Anyone who remind me of my step-dad, which means:
-Physically, verbally and emotionally abusive
-Sexist and condesending towards women
-Abusive in any way towards children and animals
-Anyone who brags about how potent he is and what a ''real man'' he is
-Anyone who makes fun of my dead relatives
-Anyone who calls me a ''ret*d''

I should stop now, I could go on all day. Since I grew up with an abuser, I can spot them easily, which will probably help me in the future. All women should learn how to spot abusers and get away from them.

How did this thread become about child-molesting chimpanzees?


Someone suggested that all men are child-molesting chimpanzees.

I'll be the first to accept there are a lot of child-molesting chimpanzees out there. You can demonstrate the chimpanzee bit just by visiting Glasgow - or probably any major western city - on a Friday night.

I do dispute the generalisation, however.

I do not want someone who:

  • is disrespectful of me.
  • ignores me all the time.
  • demands my attention all the time.
  • is completely passive.
  • is (or attempts to be :lol:) domineering.
  • doesn't like cuddling.
  • doesn't like sex.
  • doesn't like horror movies.
  • can't stimulate me intellectually.
  • is negative all the time.
  • is a fanatic about something I find unpleasant or inane.
  • doesn't believe in or bother with self-improvement.
  • doesn't love me.

Me too - I always thought that "growing up" would happen automatically, but I still feel like a teenager, even at my age...

Narcissists, pedophiles, alcoholics, manic-depressives, drug addicts,some autistics, sociopaths, envious people - not the romantically envious but those who hate someone else's
accomplishments, etc..., religious fanatics, bisexuals, those that refuse to work (bums), men who have no regard for animals or the environment, and men who refuse to look at the flip side of situations, godless men. I like a man who fears the lord - this may sound corny but it says a lot!

Wombat, I have a question: how come, in your mind, all women are either/or?

You young women these days are asking the wrong question.
You ask "What man lives up to my demands?"

Because we don't know what you demand.

You say "I am strong. I am opinionated. I am my own person. I am thirty years old and have had dozens of lovers before you. I have a degree and a career and make good money. You can't tell me what to do because I demand my "rights".

Ok.

But what is a man looking for? He wants a wife in the traditional sense. He wants a woman to love him and be loyal to him. He wants a woman who will mother his children, cook his dinner, keep his house clean, and be a "helpmeet" to him.

That is what he hopes for from you. What do you hope for from him?

A "real man" will bust his guts working in a coal mine to keep his wife and family fed.
THAT is a "real man".

Are you a "real woman"?


This is actually very well said because a woman should demand that her man be a husband in the traditional sense that he loves her and is loyal to her, will father her children (if they decide to have them), will also cook, clean and be an equal partner and "helpmate" in their marriage. She will care for him in sickness and he will care for her in sickness. Everything that a man expects of a woman is what a woman should expect of a man. They should both bust their asses putting food on the table and getting the rent paid. I do. My husband does.

Now, honestly, I never thought about putting words to this demand. I'm glad Wombat did.

What hurt me the most about former partners wasn't their slothfulness and lack of loyalty and love. It was their negativity, which bled into and manifested as every problem in the relationship (which included slothfulness and lack of loyalty and love). As I said in my first comment, everybody will have a bad day but that positive energy and optimistic worldview exists in the heart of a person and I think having everything that Wombat articulated must really have such a heart for life to be worth living, even at its hardest.

wefunction - I love everything that you wrote about negativity. I totally agree with it. I don't want a man who drags me down with him.

I don't want a man who makes me feel constrained and tied down. If I'm going to be with someone then they have to trust me enough to let me fly free. :)

To me, that rule looks like you're practically admitting that you're so high maintenance that you need him to put the relationship above everything else, including his passions. I guess that means you'll never marry a physicist, or any academic scientist for that matter.
