What do females think of males who....

What if you had an isolated childhood? I would expect the lack of experience to cause a lack of self-esteem. And experience also helps with the more practical barriers regards advancing a relationship. Y'all were nervous about a first kiss, first sex, right? It's a thousand times worse when you're of a more advanced age because there are expectations and you can't easily initiate it yourself even if you're ready to.

if you've never been desired how can you have a good self image? Are you supposed to conjure it out of nowhere and hope for the best? True it doesn't solve SA but if you've had relationships in the past, failed or not, the next time you go to talk to someone you're interested in you can always say to yourself "People have loved me before, so its possible to be loved again". But if you're going off of nothing, you just have to hope people will like you, in that way. Even my therapist told me that, he said its much easier when you have past successes to encourage yourself.
Part of why my first few relationships/experiences with women were so screwed up is the fact that I couldn't imagine myself as being wanted, loved, etc. Even while it was happening. That still doesn't determine you will never be with anyone ever. It just means the road is rocky, which you probably have come to expect by now anyway.

I agree. A large part of the lingering pain when you have social phobia, and a lot of the association with inadequacy is linked to not having ever had a relationship. Absolutely. 100% Yes.

It's not the be-all-end-all solution, but it's one of the largest single steps you can take.

...it might help you feel a little better or more confident in the short term, but if you haven't addressed the root cause, it will eventually creep back in

and it could very well destroy the relationship you had hoped would save you

That´s true. A big reason why all my serious relationships ended; I haven´t sorted out my difficult issues -or haven´t accepted them.

I guess I'll just have to take your word for it. Besides I'm not gonna speak on the topic any further, I'm sure I sound like a broken record and people are probably getting irritated.

I'd be poorly motivated to lie to you. ::p:

And you'd only sound like a broken record if you kept saying the same things, which you don't seem to be doing.

hehe LOL Coyote and mmm!!! :)

You've done it again!! A funny AND thought-provoking thread!! hehe..

Well, Coyote, I'd be afraid of any stds and personal baggage too, I guess.. (or the gf running after me with a dangerous kitchen utensil!! or dragging you away for holidays/weekends etc - the classic 'mistress/wife' scenarios etc) and I think you're not eco enough for me!!! :D

As for 'open relationships' - I think both/all parties must agree... And still it can be difficult, what with safety/health/stds and people's moods and 'group dynamics' etc.. (That is what I READ about lol!!)
You have all sorts of people out there (both gurls and guys) and some may be okay with it...??

Do you want a harem??

That said, I did have a *HUGE* crush on Coyote (before we knew he was 'taken' hehe) so it can be done!! (A bunch of other SA-ers probably did too!! :))

Other factors that some women may consider: any kids (and how old they are - some may be okay with certain ages, some not) or lack of those, wish for more kids or not, your own wishes and ideals for the present and the future, what are the financial arrangements and how you get along with your exes etc. Do you run if an ex beckons or is it 'in the past' etc. What kind of life do you wish to build and live, is it compatible?

Does he expect a housmaid or a 'slave'/therapist/mum, or just someone to be together in life and share things with? would life with him be stressful or FUN/easygoing/peaceful... etc. Does he ever wash dishes or would expect the woman to do everything? Does he believe in 'men's work' and 'womanly things'? What kind of cooking skills does he possess or expect?? etc. lol

(eg if her dreamlife is on a boat with Donald Trump sorry Coyote no go - The Donald is happily married after probably many exes though too!! or at least seems to be-??)

I've been hit on by guys 10+ years older and 10 years younger, so hmm?? It really does depend on the person.. If you really like him and you're compatible a lot of things can be overcome or can be 'insignificant'... Each woman is different and has different values and priorities... Maybe ten would go 'OMG no!' but maybe a few would go 'Hell yeah!!?' (And do you really wish ALL women to be attracted to you?? OMG!! If ONE can make your life miserable already?? :D hmmm??!!)

I think you also need to be honest with yourself: do you look for another 'gf' or 'friends with benefits' or something else entirely? Or maybe just some friends and more interesting hobbies or such?

I think the whole 'experience/background' thing matters to some women more, to some less, to some not at all.. Apparently you wish to find those who are okay with who you are...

There are girls/women who will only date younger guys with no baggage/kids/ex wives, or guys up to a certain age... (if they can find them) or guys who aren't 'womanizers/Don Juans'... There are also girls who will only date Mormons or muslims or orthodox religions etc. Some actually 'prefer' older guys, or more experienced.. Some prefer younger and not so experienced.. There's a huge variety of preferences and priorities out there... (An (older) woman on another forum said she's too old to teach the really young guys though lol!! Then again other - maybe younger girls may be happy to do so or to learn together..)

So, whoever you are, there are chances for you out there, which of course Coyote you know already!!!

Oh, I should also mention that reading replies of guys is insightful too... :)

Can we please stay PG-13 rated or such though, this forum is kinda for young kids too...

It's interesting to see what guys think women think... :D

Thinking that all women think the same is like thinking all computers or cars look and work the same tho.. :) From Commodore to MacBook Pro to iPod apps, you have very different models - both hardware- and software-wise!!! :)

I don't see how women would turn you down because you've been in relationships in the past. 99% of people in their 40s have been is relationships in the past, so it sounds like you're just like everyone else in that aspect.

Btw, Old Spice is the most underrated cologne on the market.

WooHoo, I'm in the elite 1% of forty year olds.

LOL Kiwong but you know you're in the muchly admired 1%

It's your choice and not other people's, you said women have been eying you hehe!! :)

Cheers and howdy Feathers, hope you've been going well.

People sometimes look at me and smile, and it kind of makes me wonder if I've left my fly undone or if I'm still wearing my pyjamas.
