Cheers, but not needed. Certain jokes deliberately do not make syntactical sense, nor often times, even grammatical sense. As if they did, many of them would just lose their funny (not that this one particularly qualified as being that). Your fix just makes it clear that there are three women being spoken of and so the punchline then just becomes a statement of the obvious.

+ 1000000000. I've been surprised over the years at how many women have little or no interests beyond socialising and TV. And yep like you I'd run a mile. An extension to that would be those who expect me to entertain them all the time.

My basic rule is no headmelters. If I want dramatics I'll attend my local theatre thanks. I used to have much more patience on this score but with experience it's pretty much gone.

Its unreal. I used to know someone who even admitted having no interests what so ever. Facebook & TV was all she ever did and sending me texts that said "unbore me" LOL.

If you're serious, why don't you break up with her?

Nope, the way you typed it, it wasn't funny nor did it make sense. Learn from your mistake and move on

Divorce? Separation? If i knew my boyfriend was posting those things about me, I'd end it immediately.

I'm heavily biased, but any woman I've been with has eaten pussy much better than any man I've been with...and that's even the one woman I really regret going home with I'd imagine most gay lads suck cock better than I ever would too.

Anyway, that's enough of my sexy ramblings for one day!:pac:

Oh yeah, a big fact of life!

Girls that've gone down on me have always been worse compared to the lads. Guys just know exactly what works from what they like themselves.

Girls with girls and guys with guys will always get each other off better than a guy and a girl purely for that reason that they're natural experts in that area.

As a general rule, I always used to ask any woman I met what she was interested in. I didn't care if her answer was international cross country athletics or weaving on a loom, as long as she had an interest and had the capacity to develop a hobby or an activity. A surprisingly high amount of women were stumped by this question. My alternative way of asking it then was to say that if it's an average Tuesday evening at 8.15pm - what would she most likely be doing? If the answer was watching TV, then that was the end of that.

What on earth is off-putting about someone saying they'd be watching tv of a typical Tuesday evening at 8pm? Especially in the winter?
It's just a way of relaxing after a day's work. It doesn't mean the person doesn't have other interests they pursue at other times; it's not the sum of them. Plenty of TV is interesting too - it's not all soaps and diet/celeb programmes. If a person likes how a person seems and it's suddenly a no-no if that person watches a bit of TV some evenings... no loss.

Do you not jump out of planes or go scuba diving in the evening?

Sorry, I phrased that badly. What I meant was that my first question would be asking about hobbies - a lot of girls would reply "I dunno" to that and be a little baffled, as if they've never really thought about it. My follow on question was the Tuesday evening thing. If they said that they were into hill walking, for example, they won't be doing that at 8pm of a February Tuesday.

Obviously if you're into lots of outdoor stuff you won't be engaging in your hobby in the dark. I merely meant it as a safety net in case somebody might say something like attending a local gig, helping out with a sports club, meeting a book club, any kind of activity that they mightn't call "hobby" but still is something to engage the mind and/or the body.

Neither am I saying there's anything wrong with it - I'm sure there are plenty of couples that are happy out getting in from work and chilling out in front of the box. Just that I would never be able to be half of any such couple.

I did stress it was my personal experience, I never claimed to speak for all men!

The other side of it though is the amount of men who think passively watching a football game in a pub on a Sunday afternoon with mates constitutes as a hobby as well. A huge proportion would list "football" as a hobby while not actually playing it. It's no a more a hobby than saying you like fashion, for example. I don't think it's fair to state that it's mainly women who are guilty of this.

"Hobbies: hanging out with friends"

Not a hobby, it's just what people do!!!

A lot of people would consider going to the cinema a hobby which is basically the same thing - You're sitting down watching a tv screen. Not all hobbies are wild or exciting. Also, a person's age could determine what they constitute a hobby too.

I never said they were. That's not my point at all. If a woman claimed to enjoy watching soaps on telly, I don't see how it differs from the 100s of men I've met who state watching football drinking pints in a pub on a Sunday as a hobby. They're interests. Perhaps it's not the kind of thing you're into but they're interests all the same.

I am sucker for cute looking girl.

She does not have to be perfect ten but if she has something about her that very little girls have, I want.

Well you're right, it is no different. It's not something that would put me off a person anyway. If I'm attracted to a girl and I get on well with her, I wouldn't be bothered if she likes to watch Fair City every evening.

Hi,

Looking to start a new thread to help me and any other single ladies. Guess feeling a bit down in the dumps lately and being that dreaded V day also doesnt help.

Basically is it all about the chase with men, do they not want a nice girl that is pretty good to them funny..so confused lately by a certain someone playing hot and cold and would be nice to get peoples opinions on it

Hi there, if he is playing hot and cold it normally means that he's not too interested..I think men want an attractive woman who is not too clingy..personally I have had girlfriends that have zapped the energy from me with so called 'bunny boiler' behaviour...I like a woman with confidence thats not up her own backside, and humour is important

I don't think ya should waste your time with someone who's playin hot and cold-its not what you'd call a great start so whats the point!

Obviously i was physically attracted to my girlfriend when i met her but what really drew me to her was i thought she was lovely and a genuine nice person. But thats just me-everyones different.

My advice would be to think what you really want personality-wise from a guy. Like if you think you're a nice girl who would treat a man good maybe start lookin for a genuinely nice guy who ya think will treat you good......(obviously there has to be physical attraction there too though!)

Good luck

Firstly, I'm in a rural area, so watching soccer on TV is not nearly as prevalent here. In Ireland as a whole, the numbers may very well bear out your view that as many hours are spent by men watching soccer on the box as are spent by women watching whatever else tends to be on of an evening. Secondly, I didn't say anyone was "guilty" of anything. To be honest, when it came to chatting up, a man didn't need to be a "footie on TV" kind of guy for me to rule him out. The fact that he was a man in the first place was enough to do that.

I was only trying to help the OP by giving her my perspective, and that's all it is - one guy saying why there were certain women I used to look to form a relationship with, and others who I didn't. I never said that all men did thought like me, or that I was somehow superior to guys (or girls) who do go for the more sedentary partner. I'm not trying to pick a row here folks, each to their own. Please feel free to ignore me.

The_Kew_Tour

Lol.

Can I clarify I meant 25yo plus.

You be all glad to know I haven't dated a girl younger then me ever funny enough.

Ah well that's me on the list.

In the long term a woman who can bring out the best in you. Straight up though it's all about the looks.

Fair enough and I agreed with a lot of what you said as you will see in my comment following your own.

I took you up wrong obviously. Nothing wrong with wanting a girl with interests.

SimonTemplar

OP, you are going to get a lot of varied answers in After Hours, some genuine, some not.

Obviously I can't speak for all men, but for myself, my "perfect" girl would be someone who shares my interests (cinema, travel, music, food), someone who has a good sense of humour but also able to have interesting and intelligent conversations, and someone who I find attractive especially if they have a nice smile. I'm a big believer in beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I know a girl at work who ticks all these boxes (especially the nice smile, one of the prettiest I've ever seen) but unfortuately she's in a relationship, so I should probably add being single to my list

I be one of those lads who would never date a girl I work with.

Work in 50/50 split of men and women some are dating and for me they dont act the same as they used to. Obvious reasons I guess.

I'm not thinking you're speaking for all men at all - just saying that watching a TV programme here and there after a long day's work is not the same as being plonked in front of the box from after dinner to bed-time.
