Well, I am afraid of heights. I can't help it. I've tried. Never used to be. It just came over me over time. And, frankly, it sucks. I try over and over again to overcome it--and each time I do, I get half way up some steep height and I get dizzy no matter how positive my attitude is. Frankly, I think there's more biological crap going on than there is psychological crap going on because fearing such a thing as a height is totally anathema to my way of thinking.
Beyond that, I totally agree with you, Voyager, about fear of animals. I have no patience at all for people who are afraid of animals [excepting lions, tigers and very big bears. LOLOLOL]. Heck, I am sickened to the point of puking by women who can't deal with a mouse in the house! IDIOCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, that's it for tonight. Time to take my beloved dog out for a final pee, with my .38 in tow to make sure that any bears we might run into are well-taken care of before they can take care of us. LOLOLOLOL
Quoting Voyager54:
~ALL~...ok, I had to once again think about this and frankly, there is not too much I can think of as to why I wouldn't date a particular woman. Obviously looks are a big deal. If there isn't mutual attraction right off the get go, then what's the fricken point of any of it. That goes for men and women and I think we'd all agree. Then the chemistry has to kick in. In my profile I describe how women that eat boogers is NOT a good look. Nor is it for men. Mollycoddlers...that is a real live deal breaker for me. I detest men AND women that do it. Even if they don't know they're doing it. Crappy drivers...I have issues with women that are not mechanical or logical. Women afraid of animals and heights...can't ski with a girl like that. And they can't hang out at the farm with all my critters. MAJOR deal breaker! Women that suck at sex...this is a given amongst all humans . And if it isn't, then it is definitely what causes many divorces I'm sure. I have been with hot women and I was immediately turned off because they could even kiss well. I don't have time to train somebody in the finer points of touchy feely stuff. Women that can't cook...how do these type of women even survive?
Slobs...dealbreaker. Uneducated...I don't mean schooling...I mean LIFE! On the other hand, women are a lot like pizza, even when they're cold, it's ok... at least for a couple of bites. Take that as factual from a real Transylvanian!

LOLOLOL. I know. Sorry if I didn't get into it with you for fun. I don't get to spend much time on here lately. Too many obligations and WANTS interfere. I pick and choose at random rather than giving over hours to decide what and where to respond to. Final note: I hope Brad and Angelina are very happy. So I said from the most shallow aspect of my being because, really, I couldn't care less. I'm far, far more concerned with the happiness of my own real friends and me. Brand and Angie can take care of themselves. And if they can't--oh, well. Too bad. LOLOLOLOLOL

By trouble, I think he meant all the little idiosyncrasies in general that men seem to find baffling about women...like sometimes the hormonal situations where they cry or get their feelings hurt for no apparent reason, that the man can fathom…..or in Seinfeld's case, women that eat peas with a fork.Just weird stuff, in general, that men say they have to put up with.

I remember watching a program, maybe on Animal Planet or Discovery, with Brad and Jennifer still very young and married. It was about the loss of Grizzly Bear habitat and to promote funding for protecting its habitat.They had a Grizzly Bear on the program, that was trained, on a leash with his trainer and supposedly been in several movies.Jennifer was obviously very frightened, hiding behind a tree…..Brad kept telling her to come out but she kept screaming back “No”.Brad was visibly irritated.It was obviously an issue he cared about, but she was NOT with him on the bears. lolo
Brad had just out grown Jennifer!Although she is very cute and he remains fond of her….she’s a bit shallow intellectually.Brad left on his own free will, finding Angie obviously beautiful and sexy, but also appealing because of her mission of compassion for African women and children who are less fortunate….AND she had that womanly aura of motherhood.These were things that I think Brad wanted in a woman. Brad and Angie seem to have similar values and interests, regarding concerns for the planet and humanity. Brad was bored with Jennifer and wanting more when Angie came along. JMO

FEAR OF BEING HURT, LACK OF SELF-CONFIDENCE, FEAR OF JUDGEMENT, FEAR OF REJECTION, FEAR OF COMMITMENT, LACK OF TRUST...........What it comes down to is this: a desire for and fear of closeness at the same time. Funny thing is to experience love in the truest sense one must first realize that it requires "RISK" meaning we have to risk being seen for the person we truly are mistakes we make, wrong attitudes in the moment, all our childish ways of acting cannot be avoided by dismissing our own actions-- BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR ACTIONS--for unless we risk vulnerability which means the possibility of being judged, mocked, dismissed etc. which ultimately we all fear to an extent. So, how can a person be truly loved when only willing to show their good points, positive qualities,etc. Then they are only able to be loved on the surface. Let's face it we all want more but are we willing to risk our whole self to be loved unconditionally? FEAR does not bring love. Undatable is pretty harsh and judgemental wouldn't you say when you have fears like the rest of us--if your willing to admit them that is.

Being a rather thin-lipped woman, I must--I'm obligated to--take exception to this explanation. ROFLMAO Could we just bring up Angelina Jolie as an example of a thick-lipped woman who used sex as a weapon--and, I must add--won? On the other hand--well, actually, using celebrities as examples of thin-lipped women who are not users of sex as a weapon isn't going to work here because off the top of my head I can't think of one female celebrity who isn't thick-lipped to begin with or hasn't had her lips plumped up with "junk" to make her look like the thick-lipped women your friend thinks are "safer." All in all--I'm not taking any of this very seriously, so no one should take my response very seriously. Except for this: Thick-lipped or thin-lipped. It matters only visually and prejudiciously because, in the end, what counts is what a woman does with those lips. And I can guarantee you that thin-lipped women can often do a heck of a lot more satisfying stuff to a man with her thin lips than any thick-lipped woman he might find could, or would want to bother to do. It's all a matter of attitude and heart. Once you're willing to get past looks, of course. So.... ROFLMAO at the nonsensical nature of this entire thought.

1Cats ( just kidding.......but women should know a LOT of men feel that way. My personal limit is one, for 99.999 % of the female population. The limit for the other .001 % is two.):):)
2Meanness
3Intolerance
4Lack of personal integrity
5Lack of sense of humor
6Laziness
7Sense of entitlement/superiority over others
Except for the cat, these are all things which are absolute rainouts, for me. As soon as I see any of the other 6, I am outta there. I wouldn't be back for date # 2, if I found any of these traits on date # 1.
And remember, these are just the things that make her 'un-dateable.' There is a far longer list for 'un-marry-able' or 'unsuitable match for a long-term relationship.' That list would be far more specific to the individual person, I would imagine. That list would render the person un-dateable to me, because I am looking for a permanent relationship. As soon as I know she's not the one, I'd prefer to spend my time and energies looking for the ONE. I have plenty of great friends, male and female, for companionship. But others may wish to continue dating, just to go out.
