As in like you want to be a secret agent/cowboy/astronaut/millionaire? or... you would like to date one! or all 4...

I think everyone wants to date a millionaire...
 
I want to be one. Or at least 3 simultaneously.

oh right :) I see... lol, yes that's probably a better direction to take this!

well, mine was to take over the whole world and be so super powerful that I could destroy the whole universe... but I think there might be some opposition to this, you know, just a few objections here and there... never mind the question of feasibility...

Girl, ain't you suppose to be lookin' for a job? No I ain't your dad and don't wanna' be neither but if I knew him, I'd say, "look dawg, that girl needs to be lookin' for a job instead of playing around on an internet forum." And he'd say, "well I can't tell that girl what to do." Then I'd say, "Yeah, I know what you mean. When they hit 13 or so, you can't even get a word in edge-wise. Best to just stay out of their way unless they need you for something, you know, kinda' like right now."

I got grass to cut. I'm outta' here.

Geez. You don't have to look good to attract women. Besides, not looking good, why would you want to mate with all these women? Its kind of selfish to want to spread the less-than good-looking genetic material, don't you think?

Believe it or not, I actually wouldn't be a jerk with my looks or anything :D I got really low self esteem so the good looks and attracting loads of women would seriously help. Plus when I meet a girl and get her number, I'll stop having negative thoughts like "she just gave you her number 'cause she felt bad for you" type of thing.

When I get married I'd like my wife to really hold me as this good looking guy that she's so into :-p

The idea here is to come to terms with your own self. If you are not in love with yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you? By corollary, if you are not a stable individual who won't commit suicide because he is so depressed, why would any female want to propagate your genes so that her child would kill herself or be miserable? Its just not going to happen.

Once you realize that you are who you are and you are happy with yourself, people will see that calm, assertive guy, with inner peace and a happy smile on his face. That is attractive. That signals to any woman out there that you are worth spending time with, and that your kids will be happy with being themselves, even if its not really true.

sounds like a cliche or the normal generic stuff older people tell younger people when they say things like I said. I'm just mentally screwed up right now that's all. :cry: it's screwing up my relationships with people. sometimes I want to be alone, I feel lonely and said and what not. Oh crap I'm screwing up this thread. If you want/care we could do this in PM or over some form of IM since you seem come of as this "preacher"

We all feel lonely sometimes. Sometimes anxious and sad beyond belief. It is felt by every human being on this planet, you are not the only one. And you should pay attention to your elders, they are both wise and experienced like you have no idea. Respect the elders and you might learn something. Read Tuesdays with Morrie, its a great book.

I didn't read all of cronxeh's advice, but seriously dude, good looks won't provide you the confidence boost that comes from working on becoming a better a you and learning to be social with women. you'll get rejected a lot but you'll keep improving and that will give you confidence. (and the only realistic way. sorry, but boy's dreams about having a woman approach them don't come true)

I think my ultimate romantic fantasy is to stay in bed on a Saturday night with a sweet guy who will have pizza delivered and watch SNL with me. I guess I am showing my age, but I can't think of anything better than to have someone to snuggle, snarf, and laugh with.

understanding the relationship between speed and body temp alone makes it a worthy experiment.

NOT TRUE! just be yourself and girls WILL notice what a great guy you are! maybe not all, but some will! and then they might approach you! depends on how confident they are and their views on who should approach who... but still, if you like a girl then approach her!

Hello PF,
It's difficult to describe what my fantasy is but I'll try. See, I'm looking for someone with same values as I have. Respect to life and believing in love are the most important ones. But that's not everything. I would do everything for my fantasy girl and I hope I'll someday have a chance. However, she wouldn't want that. Only thing that would be important for her is knowing that I love her and for me as well. I simply wish for that feeling of being together and enjoying it. Just watching stars with her speechless, comfortable and with no sorrows... When I find a girl like this, I will know that we will spend a beautiful life together...

I know this is naive illusion and world that we live in made us to prefer other values then love and beauty of life, but I want to be naive. And If we are all little "foolish", world, at least for me, would be better place... And I would have bigger chance to find someone like that, even though I don't know where to look...

:) awww that's nice. its not naive at all. It should be a human right!

I've had women approach me - even in crowds of people. Unfortunately, I was usually engaged in something so I couldn't take time to join them.

That would work for me. Otherwise, reading a book in bed. I'm quite content to stay home in the evenings, even on the weekends - unless I'm traveling.

I still get hit by women up to 15-17 years younger than me. It just happens. Youngest this year so far was a 20 years old. Women do hit on men. It also happens to one of my best friends, who just turned 40 this year and is married. I don't know for others, but I am willing to bet a lot of man get hit by women.

Re: what's your fantasy...

(1) A utopia society where money is rendered unnecessary for peaceful coexistence (kind of like Star Trek).

(2) I'd like to go back to undergraduate life, and do it over again (I really don't feel like I know anything).

(3) I think I'd like to become a priest and feed the homeless in NYC.

(4) I don't think I'd like to be President, so much as I would like to be appointed Secretary of the Department of Education.

Well, here's kind of what I was trying to say in another thread, regarding femininity versus the more overt aesthetic, physical attributes.

In keeping with "fantasy" (yes, I do actually attempt at least to stay on topic...sometimes), here are some film actresses I've always appreciated.First of all, here we have lovely Anne Bancroft...

AnneBancroft2.jpg


Notice, she's basically fully dressed (not even showing that much leg). But there's just something about the outfit maybe--or even just the expression on her face--that oozes womanliness (to quote a sometime more base self: "wrrrrrarr") .And then there's Elizabeth Hartman...

ElizabethHartman.jpg


ElizabethHartmanprofessionalshotfro.jpg


Again, there is no obvious sexuality to either of these photographs--she's just feminine and beautiful. In her case, I think it's the eyes. Wrap even one of those "snazzy" burqas around her, and I think she'd still be alluring.Lastly, my favorite of all: Kelly McGillis...

[PLAIN]http://blogs.lancasteronline.com/flashbacklancaster/files/2009/05/witcouple.jpg

Kelly McGillis made AMISH sexy. That's pretty tough to do, fully covered. She has nice lips Kelly McGillis, I've always thought; and is little thick here and there. Very feminine.

Dont get me wrong, but in that pciture Bancroft looks to me just like she finished a 6 months cycle on androgen steroids.

I think that all of the women I have been involved with approached me. I'm not even all that good looking. Every woman I approached shot me down. So I pretty much rely on women coming after me instead of the other way around. It works out ok I guess.

Pretty much the same thing here. I actually think that men get approached by women on a constant basis, but I'm slowly starting to realize that it's almost impossible for men to realize when they're being approached in that manner (men and women tend to interpret certain types of advances differently...).

If you are interested in her, believe me you'll notice. Else you won't notice even if he hits you with a jackhammer.

A naked evening in an un-airconditioned apartment spent painting toenails and sharing Godiva chocolate and a Cabernet Sauvignon.

I need the practice. It's hard not to dab instead using the smooth, bold strokes one should. Except dabbing makes it take longer, which is good. But then the down side of dabbing is that she has really horrid looking toenails for about 2 or 3 weeks; so bad other women ask about them.

I don't have any fantasies that don't involve air conditioning. If anything, I dream about going to a hotel room where I can crank the air conditioner up to 11.

I know a hotel where you can crank the air conditioner volume up to 100 decibels - 1 decibel for each BTU/hr of cooling power.

It's great! You can't hear the people in the next room!

My wife is about the only woman that I had to pursue. Two of my longest-duration "significant others" were during college and they both turned on the charm so high I couldn't help but notice. The second one (whom I ended up living with until she graduated and left school) saw me coming into the bar of a local motel one winter evening, came over and asked if she could sit with me if she bought me a drink. I wanted to pinch myself, just as a reality check.

She was almost 4 years older than me, baby-faced, and fit (lifeguard at the U of M pool).

:confused: Well...she isn't wearing heavy make-up, if that's what you mean.

Personally, I don't think women need make-up (it'd only be covering up what God and evolution have done perfectly to begin with). If she wants to, that's fine.

To each his own, I guess. I just don't see it. If she were a guy, she'd be a fairly short cross dresser--certainly not the ideal I aim for in myself (and miss frequently :biggrin:).

Not to be annoying, but maybe this is a better picture of facial features.

Silly, frilly pants aside, I think she has a nice curled lip...

I just found out that one of my favorite actresses of all time, (Kelly McGillis) is not really into guys; so even though there was already no possibility of my ever getting to meet and know her personally, now I know exactly what a snowball in hell feels like. :(

So very sad. My delusions can't even reach fruition now. It'd be like: "Hey, here's some flowers...oh...oh...yes, I see...no, I understand...I respect that…but...what…you still really don't want them though, huh...now where is that rock I usually crawl under?"

She was married a couple of times already (I think even had children) so part of me is like: "Hey, there's still a chance!" :) But no. Fantasy self-terminating.
