    What is it with the young men of today?? As a young, single and i suppose i can say moderatly attractive girl of 18 i am quickly becoming seriously disillusioned with the whole concept of dating and relationships. Now the critics out there might say im generalising but for heavens sake in past year I've dated men who:

    .have turned up on a date drunk
    .brought another girl on the date with us and asked me if "i fancied?" :mad:
    .wanted sex 3 seconds into the bloody date
    .cancelled the first date altogether because there was a match he forgot about on tv!

    Now you cant tell me its the type of guys i go after because ive tried a broad range of personality types and so on. So what the hell is going on?
    Is it the type of signal im sending out or what?

    What is it with the young wimmen of today?? As a young, single and i suppose i can say moderatly attractive boy of 22 i am quickly becoming seriously disillusioned with the whole concept of dating and relationships. Now the critics out there might say im generalising but for heavens sake in past year I've dated wimmen who:

    .have turned up on a date in her flowers
    .brought another girl on the date with us so they could judge me
    .wanted shoes 3 seconds into the bloody date
    .cancelled the first date altogether because there was a episode of sex in the city she forgot about on tv!

    Now you cant tell me its the type of wimmen i go after because ive tried a broad range of personality types and so on. So what the hell is going on?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Your going for the wrong type of men, you should try 29 year old yellow, internet persona's, I'll be honest and up front with you though, I will turn up for the date at the very least drunk out of my mind, I will bring another girl and you'll be lucky to make it to 3 seconds before I'm demanding sex.

    It's probably because you're dating teenage boys, and most teenage boys have the maturity level of a chicken's big toe

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 kinkyboots


    Just because im 18 doesn't mean i want to play the field. Been there done that, bored of it. Just want something a little bit more meaningful.
    Not talking about falling in love straight away or anything like that, just something thats built on a better foundation than just sex. Is that so bad?

    in fairness you are going to find it hard at 18 to find a man to date imo 30 is the reasonable age to expect a man to finally act like a man


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 118 ✭✭mrs moneypenny


    Firstly I'd suggest chancing your user name. It's throwing out all the wrong signals. :)

    You'll get there honey, not all men are bad. :)

    u have the rest of your life for that. im 22 now and i honestly dont know why some of my friends have been in 4-5 year relationships since they were 16. im not going to speak for the girls but i can gaurentee you that all of the guys are going to deeply regret it later on in life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 930 ✭✭✭*giggles*


    Maybe it's your fair self turning them off. Have you ever thought of that?
    The whole concept of dating is a la mode. What about courting in the 1950's? Is that what your after?

    Not at all, it's quite admirable but most 18 year old guys simply aren't going to be like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 kinkyboots


    Well maybe it is me turning them off I can't honestly say that it isn't. And no im not saying i want a 50's style courtship. Just someone i can be comfortable around and have a laugh with. Someone who sees me as more than just some kind of "sex buddy".

    You're not at all particular when it comes to finding "romance". I think you really need to get over yourself. Sex buddies only exist in programmes like "Sex and The City".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,699 ✭✭✭Brian


    I would postulate that you are sampling from the wrong circles of "gentlemen".

    Thats kind of naive. Sex buddies are everywhere today. Are you a teenager yourself?

    Are you looking for marriage in your next relationship? You are 18, I am not saying go riding everyone, but don't get hung up on one person too long. Just go clubbing with your girlfriends and kiss random fella's. You don't need a relationship right now and if you have one you will probably end up resenting it.

    I think what you want is Intimacy rather than a relationship anyway.


    (I hate giving PI answers in an AH Thread!)

    I beg to differ


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 kinkyboots


    Yes intimacy sounds like exactly what i want. I'm not saying I want a relationship that'll last years and years. Just something more than "kissing random fellas" :)

    So you're looking for a celibate 18 yo who you have no expectation of having a longterm relationship with?

    A friend perhaps..
