I like eastcoast women . Like people from the eastcoast they're brutually honest.
Here in Texas, there is a bit of the southern belle in the women,but a bit more independence. I feel that is in part to how Texans ( men or women ) are. The attitude here is we can do it ourself.

AGuest,
Peace and prosperity to you as well. Thank you ! Northern California ? Been to some nice places up there. Monterey, and the aquarium among them.
MrsJones5,
You're right. I came out to visit and was in Davis, and it must have been a nice warm 82. This was my first time out there at the time. Well upon getting to San Francisco it was about 55.
I've learned that much about California. Went to Oxnard to the cowboys traing camp sometime time back and it was noticeably colder that night on the beach than when I arrived in LA.
Anyone know the name of that sub shop in Santa Monica by the pier ? The guy told me he is from Philly, and he made the best cheese steak subs with shrimp on top !!
almost all woman want to get married and have children.
if you are a faithful jw woman there is a good chance this will never happen.
70% of jw are woman and 30% are men.

 Post 250 of 251 Since 8/31/2009 | av8orntexas : Every sister seems to say they don't need a MS, Elder, but just a guy who is trying. But my experience tells me if it's not that, it's something else. I know others may not agree with you,but I understand where you're coming from. 'Entittled' probably best describes the attitude I usually get as you said. It's like pulling teeth in trying get to know someone. It screws with your head...I'm stable in my career, I have my act together, but my generation doesn't appreciate maturity ( I'm 33 ) MTV, Reality Tv,etc.. there are people out there who I honestly view realationships and life through that garbage. This is what I love about this forum. Somedays I think its just me. Sorry, I'm not good and cutting and pasting this stuff. I try to speak from my experience, and mine only. Realtionships within the JW, hell, the process of getting to know someone, is beyond frustrating. It's not just you. Well I've often thought it was just me. I constantly try to look at myself and see what it is about me, that may be causingthe problem, because we always see ourself differently than what others may....at least I think so. Nevertheless, dealing with SOME sisters always leaves me thinking what the hell. I've always become the guy who is good to talk to,but they always marry someone else. Marcia,marcia,marcia ! miseryloveselders,nothing some ice could help out with. hahahaha |

daringhart13,
Hahahaha. Do you live in So Cal ? Namely the LA metro area ? Wow. Have dated two people from there, and I can say, I NEVER gone through such headache and heartache than the two people I met from that area.Throughout the organization,as a whole. Alot of nice sisters,but it always seems to come down to the same thing. Every sister seems to say they don't need a MS, Elder, but just a guy who is trying. But my experience tells me if it's not that, it's something else. I know others may not agree with you,but I understand where you're coming from. 'Entittled' probably best describes the attitude I usually get as you said. It's like pulling teeth in trying get to know someone.
miseryloveselders probably best described what I can say I have gone through. It's like a job interview. Yes, you want to know a guy/gilr goes to meetings and all,but the constant talk of pioneering, meeting, etc gets tiring. You have to prove your sprituality beyond a doubt and be Jesus Jr every waking moment. The point he made, I agree with. Being a JW encourages this type of thinking, and thus relationships within that religiuon can be jacked up. Because as a Woman/Man, you readily put the ORGANIZATION before your significant other, and that is troubling.
I agree with you daringhart13. There is no bitter men's club. I've experienced it, and it's true.
Bottomline, from a single guys point of view, forget dating. Just TRYING to get to know a sister is a big pain in the ass. Again, mainly because it feels like a job interview,which as miseryloveselders pointed out, is a big turn off.
It screws with your head...I'm stable in my career, I have my act together, but my generation doesn't appreciate maturity ( I'm 33 ) MTV, Reality Tv,etc.. there are people out there who I honestly view realationships and life through that garbage.
Ok, I had to vent that out.

AGeust,
I can say it is an great place to visit. I love the weather. I can only recall bad - see overrcast- weather one or two times visiting there. But I enjoy myself when there.
Hey, flaky and shallow can be said of many places. To be fair, some of my decisions back then could have avoided alot that as well.
Needless to say, what;s it like to have sun EVERY day of the year,lol.

Just my luck you leave a post right before I do.

Well,I can say from my experience, most are truly sweet and nice. I'm as a native northerner, I find most to be on the quiet side. Caring
While not trying to make a blanket statement......I've NEVER met so many women, ( again, not a blanket statement, just my personal experience ) as shallow, and flaky as those in California. And I LOVE California. Yet, some of my greatest headaches and heartaches have come from there,lol.
i would just like some opinions on something that seems strange to me.
there is a man at my sons' school who comes every day to pick up his daughter.
he has always been friendly with me, and i am friendly back, which is fine.
Since you're married, I take it you have a ring on. If not, he sounds like he's interested. I agree with an earlier poster. Pretty wierd way to go about it. But yes, sounds like the guy wants to get to know you in some sort of fashion.
I'd just cut to the chase and ask if you'd like to take in lunch/dinner, and a movie.
