Where are all the men ?

[Demongirlie]

I've just been chatting with my friend and both of us have been single for some time. And we were wondering where all the men ? All we've noticed lately are boys in men's clothing. Surely there amust be men out there who are intelligent, attractive, who have good sense of humour. Are we just being picky ? Has anyone else been experiencing this ??

[Minxie]

Reading this post with interest! Blimey, I think Englishbird was just having a joke with you happy face, and I think jim was also just having a laugh too. Lighten up a bit :)

[Demongirlie]

I think we've gotten a bit off track. No ones answered my question as to where are all the men ? I agree with Englishbird, I hate going to the pub as there's never anyone interesting there. Maybe I'm going to the wrong places ????

Jimboy2 you're cute, but unfortunately you're only 23 and I'm 30, and I'm looking for something a bit more serious than a bit of fun.

[Fat Boy]

Just maybe the intelligent attractive men aged over 30 with a good sense of humour have all pulled by now...

Sorry happy face but you are coming off as a bitter sour misery.Demongirlie sounds delightful and was playing happily as was everyone else.If you have such revulsion for men's privates then you are not ever going to find a man that will "make love to your mind" as statements like that are really the ultimate turn off. If a bloke said "I hate women's bits they look like a pig with a cut throat" then we'd all be hung drawn and quartered by the likes of you as mysogynists. Your poems are the height of immaturity. Please try and afford us the same respect that you imply we are lacking and try actually wearing a happy face rather than making your name a freudian slip for what you really need to do.

Demongirlie, being able to be silly and immature is important to men of all ages as there is nothing more sexy than a girl like you whose relaxed and feels she has nothing to prove and has a broad sense of humour.Often it's a cover for shyness as well so look a bit deeper even at the goofiest cretins as that's probably not what they are really like at all deep down. Try alternatives to pubs and clubs as well, I was once chatted up in a museum, and when I was looking for ladies never felt the pub/club scene was ever going to yield any fruit as the classless and brainless exist amongst the opposite sex as well.Museums, art galleries, gigs, basically anywhere that's not a pub or club should furnish you with a decent man.

"pig with a cut throat"! Well, never heard it described like that before! noxlumos

[charliebaps]

Fat boy may have a point. Whilst I was having a great time out and about, the good guys seem to have been clamped by my mates! Now the only good guys I meet are either in serious relationships or under 25. No disrespect to guys under 25 reading this, but having had a few realationships with guys under this age (now I'm 30) they really do seem to have a different outlook.

Now you've all made me depressed by bringing this subject up!!! Girls nights out are great and seeing friends etc but sometimes you do yearn for conversation humour (and everything else that's already been mentioned) with a man.

I'll keep looking. If I find any I'll tell you where I met them!!

[Frankie Babe]

Leave Jim alone. At least he has a sense of humour & even more importantly can laugh at himself. Unlike some people here.

[happy_face]

I have promised Demongirlie this will be my last response as my wind up of Jim wasn't 1/2 as much fun for you as it was for me. I've been in fits of giggles but never mind. For those of you assuming I am a very happy go lucky girl who has been with Mr Happy for 11years. And Mr and Mrs Happy are very happy together. I'm not no sour old lemon and Demongirlie is my best friend and I wish she really would find the 'perfect man'
Jeez.. lighten up

[Minxie]

hey Demongirlie, bet you wish you never asked now! LOL

[Englishbird]

See, I just have this problem with supposed 'wind ups' that just aren't funny. But maybe that's just me.

[Demongirlie]

Yeah Minxie, my question has provided an interesting road of responses to say the least.

To be fair Noxlumous, guys foolin around dont really do anything for me as most of them are much younger than me. In all fairness, they're entitled to have fun and when I was in my early twenties I thought they were neat. But not anymore. Like Charliebaps I've been out with guys younger than me which have resulted in good relationships that I wouldnt change for anything but at the end of the day they weren't meant to last.

In defence of Happy-face she is very very happy with MrHappy and Iam exceedinly jealous of their relationship. She only wants me to find the right guy and get away from my awesome crush on Richard Dean Anderson!

I thought your poems were nice, happy_face... And jim's answers, however humorous, sort of proved the point of the question: the first thing young people talk about is very often themselves; older people, for whatever reason, are less likely to do so. Where are they all? Well, there aren't enough to go round, so they get snapped up quite quickly. But don't stop looking.

[Cymbeline]

Happy_face, I think you are 100% right and very funny. I remember when I was 23 and felt (like jimboy2) that everything I had to say was "important". That is the big giveaway of age, I'm afraid. One of my male friends said to me yesterday "you know my failings and still love me for them" - that is what maketh the man.

[Cymbeline]

Oops jno seemed to beat me to that comment! Succinctly put jno...thank you.

Try a supermarket, our local one has a singles night

[Demongirlie]

Which supermarket is that peterd ? What a great idea, while I'm shopping for groceries, kill two birds with one stone, groceries and man. I like it!

[OBonio]

The only 'man' I know of that might fit your criteria (single, about 30, genuinely nice) is my mate John. Ex computer tech support, got bored of that, retrained as an electrician and now owns his own business. 6' 5ish, black hair. Sometimes known to sport a goaty.

I'm amazed he's single, but he's just a little shy!

Interested?

[Demongirlie]

Obonio, sounds intriguing does he have a cleft chin by any chance, I have a real soft spot for them, crazy I know!

[peterd]

It's Asda, think it's the first or last Tuesday of every month. They even make sure you park your car next to someone of the opposite sex. They think of everything don't they!

[OBonio]

No, no cleft chin (I don't think).
