how come girls can order things on the side, but it's a turn off when guys do it?

you would be surprised at how many guys really don't pay attention to what they are doing. my husband thinks he has to take a bite of food just before he starts talking.

How about because we want to be! After 2 failed marriages to less than honest women, I have given up on being married to an American woman. They are generally too needy and think that the world revolves around them! eff that.

People, men and women, are single by choice...they may throw in bad habits to make it easier to stay that way.

Obviously, the article is just common sense & it is assuming you will get a 1st date. The reality is that younger men are on the prowl a lot more than men in their 30's & 40's. Middle aged men have been around the block with women, and they are tired of having their soul sucked out. A big reason why men are single & want to remain single is women hold all the cards & they know it. First, its the man who has to approach the woman, if he wants to go out with her. Then if he is lucky enough for her approval, he pays for whatever they are going to do. Then if he passes her interview, maybe he will blessed with a 2nd date (that of course he pays for). Then if she grants him the honor of dating her, it is still on him financially. If you are blessed to be around long enough to have sex, again she decides if & when it happens, every time. Then if you have met all her personal standards & are "chosen" to be engaged, the guy must fork over 4-5 grand or more for a ring. Then the wedding comes around & of course she is really running the show now. If for any reason she wants a divorce & if thier are kids involved, guess who again gets to pay for that. It is a lot to ask of a guy anymore to go thru this stressful, rigorous process just to be with a gril. You girls have made it so complicated & you think we have to pay & give our souls to you, just for the honor of being in your presence or be in a relationship. Please tell me the upside? I implore any female to tell me I am wrong about any of this & still wonder why a lot of men nowadays (especially over 30) want to be single.

no one is perfect, we all have different opinion, and i respect that. but i think , if your married ( or not) ,TIME with each other is the key to a successful marriage, SACRIFICE , also is the other and last but not least, UNDERSTANDING , the one that you love.

Please. Can every body just learn to spell words correctly? Man, what a turn off! And, if you know a person who uses a word incorrectly or spells one incorrectly, a friendly heads up is in order. You don't have to do it in a way that is demeaning or condescending. Just help a person out! Sometimes these posts are painful to read.

So guys are still single because of eye contact, eating like a caveman, length of toenails, ordering food on the side, and assuming they'll strike out? OMG. Really? My sisters boyfriend has ugly toe nails, is a picky eater, has his own style of eating, (LOL), and is the sweetest, most hard working man I have ever met. He treats my sister like a princess. Come on now, is this article for real? In my opinion females need to lighten up. Many females talk too much about stupid stuff, are too controlling, are way too clingy, and are boring. Who'd want to be in a relationship? Everyone is aware of the importance of proper hygiene and if the dude is gross you won't look twice but all that other stuff? NOT! I'm a female who really enjoys having men around.

All you losers are wrong, girls date wanna-bees. Going half on a check, BAMM, they who ask pay the first check, end of story. And as far as storybook endings, WOMEN want bad guys, us single nice guys are lost in that parade. If I really met a true nice girl, looking for a nice guy, I would romance her and say you article is crap. Women want cavemen and I bet both of you are single, and your hubbys have left you for someone younger.

I think having a GF is fine but being single is much better in today’s society. If I want sex I look at porn or not and whack it and move on. If I’m hungry I eat. If I need entertainment I rent a movie. If I want to buy something I buy it. Its my money my house my TV and my life! Women have changed so much that instead of a Man Woman relationship it is now an individual / individual relationship. One day science and technology will give us life like robots or Holographic technology to create a life like environment like we seen on StarTrek where we can have what we want our way. That day will be the end of procreation in its natural form, as we will have what we want with out the negative aspects of today’s man woman relationships. Good luck to you all!

I rip lobsters apart with my hands, and throw the utensils under nearby tables while my date is in the bathroom. This brings her down to my level and evens the field. I always take the time to make eye contact, especially when talking about her breasts. Before desert arrives I trim my toenails. I order on the side, and dip my fingers in the dressing to annoint the servers upon thier return. Im not just a cave man, I'm the chief of the tribe.

Since the obvious is already listed I will add some... 1. Chew with your mouth closed 2 Do not speak badly of your ex 3. Do not flirt with the waitress BUT do not be rude either * Also if you are a regular a first date this not the time to ask Mary or John about their kids. No one thinks the fact the staff 'knows' you makes you cooler 4. Do not talk about only your job, NEVER brag about your salary (unless you are in fact looking for a 'gold digger' 5. Never comment on what the woman orders such as "Wow, it is refreshing to see a woman order real food most order a salad OR Really that is ALL you want? 6. Be yourself (other then pretending to have manners if you really don't and you should anyways make that part of who you are anyways) Remember if you score with someone and you are misrepresenting yourself the best you can hope for is the other person falling in love with someone who is NOT you. There really is someone for everyone, never forget that confidence is important. Confidence NOT arrogance. I can't believe I almost forget - TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE!
