I prefer consistent displays of simple affection and/or admiration and creative varieties of man-handling. Tell me my shoes are cute, text message me "Sweet Dreams", invite me on a bike ride, serenade me with Barry White, tell me a funny story, pick me up and throw me in the water, e-mail an erotic fantasy, kiss me on the forehead.

Sounds normal and resonable ... if not pretty far down the dating line. As long as you are doing it out of fun, Ms, and not to seek her approval. Always remember that.

This is the "nice guy" trap. NGs who overdo this kind of behavior don't realize they are not so nice but are actually trying to manipulate the F out of their own selfish need to buy her attention, sometimes even at high financial cost. Of course, these same guys are the ones you always hear out there bitching about how women suck and are ungrateful (because the ppor babies were rebuffed when their expensive "tactic" failed). Sniff-sniff.

Just as a matter of simple curiosity who would you have me dating and what would he be signaling?

Now, now, Mojo. Tsk tsk. That info is not for free. Besides, I can't have you come after me with guns blazing when the guy I thought viable for you turned out to be a complete sociopath.

Nice try, Mojo. I'm old enough to know that flaming lunch sack you just left on my porch contains a big squishy dog turd, you little rascal.

Do you really think it would be a wise move to hook up with a guy whose profile says "I don't play games." IMO, that's just a way of saying "I only play a very boring game that involves pillows, safety helmets and lots of nets."

Want my short answer? (Yes, I do have them from time to time)

"I don't play games. = Damaged

Huff. Why do guys do this? It just shows their last R was one big drama fest. (Cracks me up too b/c often their R mess was b/c they, in fact, were the ones who started playing games. That kills me.)

The difference between a warrior and an ordinary man is the warrior views everything as a challenge;
the ordinary man views everything as either a blessing or a curse.
