What are some of the things men do that kill a relationship?
Posted : 30 Nov, 2009 11:42 PM

My question is what are some of the things that we men do or say that put the kibosh (that's Latin) on a possible relationship?

Starting from the opening e-mail. What will cause you to not reply. And when a guy contacts you and you do reply and you're considering a possible relationship; what will turn you off from continuing?

What things that are said or left unsaid or insinuated or outright idotic comments that just "burn your toast".

I'm putting this in a book titled

"Cold Water for Men's Souls" or maybe

"Ice..Ice..I need some Ice".



Thanks

1. if i catch in him in a lie... the one guys tend to do is their age, thinking that a younger woman can keep up. Unfortunately, i've notice that when guys turn 65 they go down hill, sometimes fast. I've worked in the senior field and its the ones who have had an active life that generally do better, not the 50 yr old who decided to exercise everyday and buy a motorcycle or other toy. Anyway, to be deceptive is a relationship killer.

2. On the profile, i look at their age range. Not interested in men who don't even include as old as they are and definitely those men who would consider a woman 20+ yrs younger than them (that's their daughter's age!). A "youth-full" lifestyle is defined more than a birth date.

3. I look at the Christian doctrine in the profile and consider how the doctrine treats and respects women & women in leadership roles.

4. Profile picture - i want to see the picture along with the pictures selected helps define the person.

5. In the description section, does he lists what he is looking for in a woman and really nothing about him. That's a major turn off to me. Most of us women know who that perfect woman is, and it's not us. Plus, i'm not looking for perfection, i couldn't handle the pressure.

Overall, these main points are not only considered how they would be a deal breaker but also I consider that these types of men would most likely NOT be interested in me.

HA! I agree! Why do guys think that we will like it if they send us messages that say "hi cutie" I don't want a hi cutie. I don't care if you think I am cute! I want to know if you are a good guy and if you want a good girl.

Guys just tend to come off too strong. You don't have to tell us all about your life in one setting, don't tell us all your problems, don't call us sexy, and DO NOT SAY THINGS LIKE "we'll see where this takes us." WHEN YOU JUST MET US! Here is something to make a mental note about......READ OUR PROFILE BEFORE YOU E MAIL US. If you are not the type of guy we are looking for, don't e mail us. That makes us have to feel bad for saying no and you feel bad for getting the answer no, even though it was clear the whole time.....

wow, sorry that was kinda a long.....

ha, interesting question....i won't respond to:

P

rofiles w/o clear pictures!:

-sorry, i am not vain or only about looks, but once you're dealing with the internet world, i think is it integral to let your future mate see exactly who you are, esp. if you got to see their picture nice and clear! no fuzzy pics, no pics that aren't you, and if you don't have a pic but need some time to put them up, just say that ur gonna put it up soon and wait til you do instead of begging me to send you all of my pics!



Profiles that either highlight not much about the guy, or is nothing but about what they want in the girl and what they expect and nothing much about themselves: if you dont take the time to elaborate (within reason) about yourself on the profile, why make one to begin with?



Profiles that are not an honest reflection of who you are: if you're a father, say so...if you were married, dont put single, but that you were either divorced/separated/widowed..you know, little things like that on the 1st impression will make me wonder later down the road, if i even drive down it with you!



Emails that just say your pretty or only about physical attributes: ask a lady how she is, say hello, introduce yourself! don't just send me a msg saying "hey, i like your profile". give me a reason to write you back b/c you show a genuine interest in your msg, esp if you took the time to read my profile, you can make note of something u read in it that interested you so i feel like u took the time as i would 4 u.

Don't wait for me to send you the first msg! i'm traditional in the courtship part..show me how you will lead a future marriage/home by the way you lead in the courtship!



and finally, if im not interested please do not keep emailing, msg, winking, etc...that's pursuing TOO much!



looks like theres going to be alot of ice in this glass when this post is over! :laugh:
