Man cards do not get revoked because you are not currently in a relationship with a woman. On the contrary, you get "man card rewards points" for that (as long as it is not because you are with a man, instead). But being bothered about not currently having a woman is, without a doubt...grounds for revokation of your man card. Read the small print...it's on the pamphlet that came with the card.

When you are between women (figuratively speaking, of course, because if you are literally between two women, your man card gets upgraded to gold man card status), the correct decorum is to be happy about it and spend that extra time doing man things.


You really should give a good read to the pamphlet that comes with your card.

Edit - On a side note...if you are in a relationship with two consenting women at the same time...man card rewards points are doubled.

Don't focus on finding girls. Focus on doing what you love to do and being you- and the best possible you, you can be.(If that makes sence). Focus on what makes you happy,and learn to be happy with yourself, and someone will see that and be happy with you.

...Don't worry buddy, your time will come. :wink1:

see I completely get this, the first couple of months, after a year, it starts to feel not great, after more than a year for more happy than you are doing the things you love, you start getting lonely, by year two, you're f__ed lol, I will admit, I had a couple of times where I could have dated a girl, but like I was saying before, one was a cheating psycho, so why get in that, and the other I couldn't find attractive, at all,
so yeah, I get what Nam said too, first year I had freedom and did Man things, I still do but, loneliness starts messing with your head, for real, starts making you think what if I dont find anyone in the next 5 years, 10 years? sure it sounds ridiculous, but, like I said, it messes with your head

Have you ever tried meeting new people online that share your hobbies and interests? There are lots of events online where singles meet and indulge in their interests together. How about online dating? If you're heavily involved in your religion, they have singles networks based on religion, etc... You have plenty of options, only a mouse click away. All you have to do is exercise them.

I tried online dating website but the only times i got messages were either jokes or older women, like way older, or stuff like that, about meeting girls sharing my hobbies, I have met some, but like I said they are always taken, and the single ones...well, they are single for a reason... some girls also just want to get drunk and sleep around, and I don't like that,
it would sound like I am really picky or negative, but that's just the way it is, maybe i should move or something,

it's all about timing and persistence. Your time will come, don't sweat it. Girls don't like sweat :wink1:
 
For those who aren't in relationships. Fear not, they aren't all magical or nor will it be life changing for the better. They are a lot of work. Real stress. In the end, if we can't love each other, how can we truly love others?

Now you may all tell me to STFU.
 
In the end, I am just as guilty in breaking up this relationship as she is. There are always three sides to a story. Mine. Hers. And the truth.

I am a ____ing moron when it comes to communication and taking constructive criticism. To be fair to myself, I'll learn from the error of my ways. If not, then I am truly an idiot who deserves nobody. So get your ____ together Eli!

What's wrong with older women?

You're dating, not getting married. And didn't you complain about girls not wanting sex, now you complain about the ones who are willing. Those girls aren't exclusive to you, so why should they not have fun?

Did you try messaging girls or were you just waiting for girls to message you?
 
Love you Ween. Truly do! However, there is no girl I would rather have than her. She had my heart. She still does. I just wasn't empathetic enough to her constructive criticism. I am learning that many men endure it. We just have to be calm and cool. I really flubbed it... granted she would correct me far too often and late at night when I was sleepy. My threshold for being corrected or lectured at that point, is next to nil.

Nope...the nagging would only get worse as time went on....cut the chord and move on...I learned that from experience.

lol, yeah everything I said seems wrong now, women that are old enough to be my mother, yeah I don't think I could, I would be okay with dating someone older, just not decades older, like I would be too young too, it would be weird, ( I would totally date an older more experienced woman though, Kinda wish it happens actually,) actually, maybe that's what I'm doing wrong, going for girls my age, maybe that's the answer,

about the girls sleeping around, I just hate cheating, the girl flirting with me at work had a boyfriend, I don't know I hate that it has to be extremes, either they hate sex or they want to F__ every guy around, why can't it be a nice healthy middle, a girl that loves sex with her boyfriend, I could see how that comes off as being a jerk, like you said they are not exclusive to me, I mean you are right but I hate that it has to be either extreme, ( at least here ) the girls I heard about liking sex a lot they ask their boyfriends, but they dont go every friday and pick up a stranger, that could even be dangerous, one thing is to be horny, or want sex, another thing is to sleep around a lot, guys can be horndogs all you want but not all guys cheat,

Did you try messaging girls or were you just waiting for girls to message you?

it was both, I don't know why but it didn't work out, i would get messages from the weirdest people, and some girls I messaged would answer but they were just messing,

Im starting to think people are here are crazy, this is Florida after all :slap

It's not necessarily cheating, it's called dating around. You can do that you know. A person can date more than one person at a time. Go out and have fun. Just put yourself out there with your friends and mingle.
 
Dating around i would not advise, focus on one at a time and give them your full attention, if you can't find chemistry early in your conversations then move on, don't have multiples on the go at once, you will probally end up not giving the right person of the bunch a fair chance and make a piss poor decision.

Take your time, you'll know who to stick around with if you are smart and you'll easily move on quickly to the next if the one you focused on(hopefully not too long) was not a good fit.Don't talk to too many people at once or you'll find it overwhelming and need to take a step back out of dating, might even become turned off by it.

And Eli, how do you rebound from a break up?..well, Gay Pride Parade is on this weekend in Toronto..still not too late to make the drive down. XD

He needs to just go out and have fun and not treat every girl he meets like a potential soulmate. That's what I'm getting at. He just needs to put himself out there and let something happen.

 
blackmask, it will happen for you. Patience is a _____, but it will happen. Love yourself. If you do, then you'll be just fine. Women like a guy who loves himself. They love confidence. It gives them confidence.

And by "love yourself," Eli does not mean:
