with respect, cherise... these are the kinds of guys that you reward with being your boyfriend and your all time favourite?
Vancouver Single Women are Impossible
- Thread starter mik
- Start date
Sumo wrestlers can be considered "fit." They are athletes but they need extra weight to get the other guy out of the ring.
A guy I follow on twitter recently posted some frustration about Vancouver women. He said --- paraphrasing him here --- that only in Vancouver do the 7s think they're 10s, and the 5s think they're 9s. Referring to Vancouver's women.
I have to say, I really do agree with him, with very few exceptions. Where I come from originally, the 7s knew they were 7s on a good day, 6s on most days. The 5s ditto. The 8s and 9s couldn't believe they were 8s and 9s. No one thought they were 10s.
Here, especially in my early days as a teen in Vancouver, I really noticed that most women (and many guys) really rated themselves far outside their reality. And when a 6 guy approached a 6 woman, more often than not he'd get the down the nose look. All my friends noticed this - especially those from not here. I haven't seen this change much over time either. Even when I was dating in my mid 30s, I couldn't believe the attitude of some women who kinda "let themselves go" thinking they were still gods' gift to men. And to be absolutely fair, I've run into more than a few guys in this town with the exact same attitude.
BTW, I'm not making a judgement call here on peoples' looks - but calling out others who are making judgement calls, thinking someone's way beneath them when approached or engaged. It really sucks.
Corrie - a solid 6, and maybe even a nice 7 if I dropped a few.

I have observed something over the years... especially as a lifelong Vancouverite. You're as or even more likely to get a snotty response from a girl who's not that hot and is uptight about her looks than from a woman who is truly beautiful. A woman who is really gorgeous - and I'm talking about a woman who is aware of but comfortable with her beauty and radiates it from inside... she knows that she has an effect on every guy and is often more gracious about a sincerely made approach than a girl who is self conscious and trying to measure herself by the quality of men who approach her.A guy I follow on twitter recently posted some frustration about Vancouver women.

Once a woman is at a certain level there's pretty much no man who is going to be considered her equal on a purely physical basis, especially since there are many different facets to what makes a man attractive.
So what happens is that woman is often not approached because she intimidates men... or she learns to deal gracefully with those who approach her since most of the men doing so know damn well it's a long shot and she knows that she has an effect on men and they can't help themselves.
On the other hand.. an uptight, self-conscious girl with low self-esteem is more likely to be terse, snotty, or unkind when approached by a man she deems as less than ideal because she's measuring her self worth by whoever approaches her.
If you're confident but polite a lot of very attractive women will be cool with being approached - even if it's from an 'OK, I know this will never stop so let's see what you got' kind of place. I think they sense sometimes that guys don't even care they just can't walk away without trying and will respond to a subtle but firm decline on her part.
Not sure if other guys out there have found this to be true or agree with me but the bottom line is... aim high. If you're going to get shot down it might as well be by a gorgeous woman than an uptight girl who's not even that hot.
see thats where its messed up...fat is a physically trait which has no bearing on who a person is ! we didn't get to design ourselves ,so should not be judged by what we look like. gross and nasty however are how a person behaves which is a conscious choice! who would want to love someone who chooses to be gross and nasty? not me! i have loved men that others would not even give the time to when asked, and it was their loss !
I don't care for these types of posts because I highly doubt these women would have been part of your life if they were 120 - 130 lbs overweight or 220 -230lbs overweight instead of 20 - 30lbs overweight. What do you care if someone only likes spinners or waif like super model types. I like hips and a small waist...some guys may think the women I prefer are heavy, some may say too skinny.
But don't try to paint yourself as better than the next guy because you can look past looks because you can't. None of us can do it completely.
Do you care what we think? Do we care what YOU think? Probably about the same.
Welcome back. What was your previous handle?
Haahaha. Nice! Took you all of 3 posts to become heated and confrontational! You're fun for a noob. Most folks wait at least a week to start schoolin' the board on how things should be... I'm really looking forward to more of your awesome contributions!
And if you are looking to get "pegged", I would humbly suggest the ALTERNATIVE INTERESTS section, not the lounge.

I wouldn't expect someone who claims to be an actor (and is probably also a singer and songwriter) with model good looks to care what anyone else thinks.
But welcome to the board Mr Iglesias.
You're exactly right. Too often we either sugar coat things or "settle". If you know what you want, ask for it.
I had a buddy years ago who tried Lava Life when it was a phone service. Initially he went the same route everyone else was going. "Successful, single, guy looking for his soul mate. I enjoy long walks on the beach, candle lit evenings, blah, blah, blah"
You know the same shit they all put on there eventhough its 99% BS.
Anyway after connecting with a bunch of women who were really not his type he thought enough of this crap and posted a very blunt but honest ad. He laid out his expectations in a partner and basically said don't reply if this is not who you are because it would be a waste of your time.
He ended up meeting a few women, having a great time in the process and eventually met the woman he is now very happily married to.
I think that’s a great add. I’ve spent my fair share of time playing on dating sites like pof – not as a SP, just to have fun. I enjoy these sites, but they are frustrating because are filled with big time wasters.
So many times women sugar coat their appearance – and so do men. It’s very disappointing when you are psyched up to meet someone hot, and well the pic they posted was 10 years old and “a few extra pounds” should have said “a few hundred extra pounds.”
She won’t waste anyone’s time, including her own. No one will show up and think “wtf”. She may not get a lot of attention, but if she does it’s a better chance of a match.
My two cents …

The point of my first post was to point out that, in general, Vancouver women who are 5s or 6s seem to think that they deserve men who are 9s or 10s.
As one commenter stated, these 5s and 6s walk around with the attitudes of 9s or 10s themselves. 21st century Caucasian girl syndrome?
