		<description>question, 

You can tell the differences by watching WHAT they do. When a bill comes to they insist on paying? Do they do the half-assed purse reach? Do they just sit there like Cleopatra while you take care of it? Does she want to go to every high-end restaurant and club in town? With you paying? Does she talk about the trips her ex took her on to Europe/anyplace else? What does she do for work? What is her plan of advancement? If non, be careful. Is she a secretary that knows all high end clubs, restaurants and vacation spots? If she earns good $ (same or more than you) and never offers or insists on paying, you have a good indicator.

By the way, these questions apply equally for both sexes. I do not understand why, if women can do the same jobs as, and earn the same (if not more than - see Warren Farrell), that either sex should pay the other for their companionship, which is really what we are talking about. I think it&#039;s because those who insist on the inequality (men pay system, all else being equal), don&#039;t like the logical conclusion, that conclusion being tacit prostitution, at least in part. I mean payment for companionship, not necessarily sex. I think this answers women&#039;s oft-repeated complaint that men don&#039;t care about  them as people. My answer is that if you insist on being paid for your company, you devalue yourself as a person and cannot reasonably expect someone to therefore care more about you as a person.</description>

		<description>How can you tell the difference between those women who are sincere and the ones who should be avoided because they&#039;re too preoccupied with what they stand to gain economically?</description>

		<description>My point exactly, Selena....For women, it&#039;s usually about what they gain economically. Such women should be avoided and shunned by rational men.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I, on the other hand find MOST if not all Asian women to be err…not “my type” to put it nicely&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I have met women who said that &lt;i&gt; men &lt;/i&gt; were not their type.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Here is man’s perspective. Men like younger women. They are usually more fun, usually physically more attractive, less likely to have shrew-like harpie tendencies (you can argue this point, but assume it happens more often than not). After the aforementioned divorce or ended long term relationship, most men I have talked to just want something simple and to have fun. They often see their 20’s and 30’s as a waste of their youth and fun time due to their previously mentioned divorce, LTR. Now in their 40’s they prefer younger, simpler women. Simpler doesn’t mean being with a robot.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
What proportion of younger women would be willing to date an older, &lt;i&gt; divorced &lt;/i&gt; man?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The nicest men all seem to already have someone in their life. The ones who do find the courage to ask me out are all either wanting a night stand, no strings attached sex, or have an affair.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
While an affair would be out of the question for me, no strings attached sex is a perfectly acceptable way to fill in the gaps.</description>

		<description>I was just curious on a link I found on another site and just wanted to see what people would write about someone being over 40 and dating this day and time. I am not ready to date as I am in the process of divorcing my present husband ( girlfriends and children with the girlfriend tend to piss wives like me off ) but when we have all this nastiness past and the divorce is done and over with I will more than likely date again. It will be strange for me I am sure because being with someone for 28 years and going back into dating again this day and time is going to be a culture shock for me. I am an attractive 46 year old woman and have been told I look 35. I have three children and the youngest child is still at home she is 15. For the time being I am putting my youngest child first as she needs stability in her life as her dad has not tried to see her for over a year, its his choice not to as I have not tried to prevent him from seeing her. Time heals all wounds and I am giving myself and my children time to heal from this. When my 15 year old is comfortable with it if the right guy comes along I may date some but my kids come first and any guy that comes into my life will have to accept my children and my sisters/mom  as family is very important in my life.</description>

		<description>Sorry Yuki, I didn&#039;t mean it to be derogatory or an insult to you or Asian women. The terms &quot;put it nicely&quot; and &quot;not my type&quot;. Saying someone is &quot;not my type&quot; is an obviously nicer way of saying &quot;I&quot;, meaning me personally don&#039;t find that person or in this case Asian women attractive to ME. Do you consider those &quot;negative feelings&quot; ? 
If I would of said &quot;I&quot;, on the other hand find most if not all Asian women to be unattractive TO ME&quot; that&#039;s not derogatory or insulting no more than you saying  large overweight bald Caucasian men aren&#039;t &quot;err..to put it nicely &quot; &quot;YOUR type&quot; meaning not attractive to you.
I guess saying you don&#039;t find someone or a group of people whether it&#039;s &quot;race&quot; or &quot;weight&quot; or &quot;height&quot; attractive can obviously be considered negative not positive but it was&#039;nt meant to be insulting,derogatory or racist. There is a difference. 

Case in point... I prefer blonde,blue eyed women that aren&#039;t obese that&#039;s what I&#039;M attracted to. So obviously most Asian, African American and a hell of a lot of Caucasian Brunette women aren&#039;t my type. I don&#039;t consider that an insult to any of them. I might of just singled out Asian women in my post because that&#039;s what wyandanch asked about. Again sorry if you misunderstood me.
On a different note I have an Asian friend Nancy who won&#039;t date Asian men because they&#039;re not HER type !...LOL</description>
