The Female Chatroom

Why do you think some guys are afraid of commitment?
Jenny: I think their past experiences/relationships keep them at bay.
Kim: Guys don’t commit cause they want to keep the playing field open. They want the chance to field any hit that comes their way and not feel tied down.

Why does a guy stay single?
Kim: Many stay single cause it’s not their option. Some guys just don’t have good luck with women. On the other hand there are some lifetime bachelors out there, you know who you are.

What irritates you most about a single guy?
Jenny: Random guys staring up and down, must have respect
Kim: Don’t’ touch a girl you don’t know.

Does it make you feel good when a guy notices you?
Kim: Sure it does, even if it’s from a sleazy looking guy it is sometimes nice. I have to give them credit, but don’t stare at my chest and say your hair looks good today.
Jenny: Yeah to a point. Don’t be undressing me w/ your eyes. Just look discretely.

What do you expect when you give your number out at a bar/club? Are there different expectations if you meet him in a “non-meat-market”?
Seena: If he gets my number, he better call, wherever the place may be. Oh, by the way, being cute/hot will persuade me to give him my digits. I’d rather meet someone thru school or friends.
Jenny: I don’t expect a call, it’s just another person I met, no expectations. You can tell what he’s all about from your conversation/interaction. A non-club/bar atmosphere makes me feel like he’s actually going out of his way to meet you, rather than at the typical “meat-market”.

Every girl hates pick up lines. Has a line ever worked on you?
Senna: No. Please no lines. Just come by and say hi and introduce yourself.
Kim: Make the icebreaker that fits the environment, and mood. Not just “hey baby, you’re looking bangin’ hot.”

How would you like to be picked up/approached?
Seena: Be yourself, don’t try to be slick and too cool.

Would you try to pick up a guy?
Seena: Not a random stranger.
Jenny: I would look at him, but that’s about it.

Have you played “hard to get”?
All: Definitely, guys do it too.
Kim: Playing “hard to get” makes it more fun and challenging, you don’t want to make yourself too available.

What methods/tricks do you use to try to pick up a guy?
Kim: Listen to him.
Jenny: Make eye contact.
Seena: Complement him.

If he doesn’t notice your signs/attempts, how far would you go?
Kim: Smile, pay special attention to him.
Seena: Introduce myself.
Jenny: If he doesn’t get the eye contact – forget it. I’m not going out of my way

What if he sends over a drink?
Kim: It’s definitely a nice gesture and a good ice breaker. It would be nice for him to do a post drink follow-up. If he doesn’t and if I drink it, I’ll go thank him for the drink. I won’t just drink it and leave.
Jenny: I’ll wave to acknowledge a thank you, but won’t go out of my way.

Are taken men more intriguing to you?
Seena: No I avoid them, waste of time.

What do you think about players? Is it more challenging/exciting to date a player and try to tame him?
Seena: Be cautious, if he’s hot, he’s probably a player, I’d try it. It could be more exciting. If he’s really attractive – there’s always exceptions, and I’m more prone to make justifications to accept him.
Jenny: If he’s a player - I’m not playing
Kim: If both parties are aware of the expectations, then I don’t see anything wrong.

If a cute/hot guy approaches you – you dig him, but says all the wrong things (lame conversation), would you give your number?
Seena: I would give him the benefit of the doubt, so yes, I would give my number, maybe under different settings he’d be more interesting.
Kim: Forget it, just cause he looks good doesn’t mean anything, I wouldn’t bother with him.
Jenny: I’d give him a shot, at least he could be a good looking friend.

Is a “bad boy” image more attractive?
Kim: No, I go for the brains.
Seena: Yes, I think they are more “edgy” – not the norm – I have the impression he’ll introduce me to more new experiences.

One last advice for a bachelor on the move…
Seena: Don’t look too hard, don’t think you have to have a girlfriend, be comfortable with yourself. A job would be nice.
Kim: A guy that has his shit together, can take care of himself, be well rounded.
