OP posts:
fuckityfuckfuckfuck · 07/01/2012 17:21

Your money. Obviously.

Lifeissweet · 07/01/2012 17:22

What can I say? We are all the same, aren't we? Hmm

yellowraincoat · 07/01/2012 17:22

Someone who's not a bitter tosser normally does it for me.

You're a nice guy, aren't you OP? I just KNOW that's how you describe yourself.

KatieScarlett2833 · 07/01/2012 17:23

I take it you're skint then? Run along Grin

Chubfuddler · 07/01/2012 17:25

You need to date Neneh cherry.

SuePurblybilt · 07/01/2012 17:25

Punctuation makes me hot. It's only a matter of time before there's a hippity-hop song about some girl who only goes with men who don't use textspeak. I aim to be that girl.

Of course, I like money too. Money and punctuation - a winning combo.

KatieScarlett2833 · 07/01/2012 17:25

Or that one off Abba

yellowraincoat · 07/01/2012 17:27

OP, I think you've convinced yourself the reason women don't like you is because you're skint. Let me enlighten you.

The reason women don't like you is because you're a twat.

HTH.

LaurieFairyCake · 07/01/2012 17:27

I'm guessing they're interested in your wallet because your penis wasn't measuring up.

mrwidower · 07/01/2012 17:27

no Mcphee, not skint - just fedup with the same types -

Grin at yellow raincoat.

Op you seem to be a prince among men -am stunned you are single.

fuckityfuckfuckfuck · 07/01/2012 17:29

If you're attracting the wrong types then tbh at some point you have to ask yourself why you;re pickign these women. It can't be all their fault. And what kind of impression you give off. If you like to be flash you can't be entirely surprised that you attract women who'll take advantage of that.

Here is a sample conversation that will guide you in your search for love.

OP: Oh I'm so sick of women always being obsessed with money.
Woman: Er, yes.
OP: Why are all women like that?
Woman: Er, not sure. There's my lovely friend, got to go.
OP: Grrr, all women are obsessed with money.

Here is what you should do:

OP: Hello, what is your name?
Woman: Hello, my name is Hilary.
OP: Hello Hilary, what a lovely dress, would you like to dance?
Woman: Yes, that would be lovely. What a kind, considerate man you seem to be.

You can cut this out and keep it if you like OP.

HoudiniHissy · 07/01/2012 17:31

Perhaps if you try to look at how you are 'selling' yourself you may understand who you are attracting.

By selling I mean how you are presenting yourself, how you speak, dress, act, what you talk about, what you think etc.

If you think about what you want people to see in you, and how you would like to be seen, you may attract a different kind of woman.

Are you on a dating website? how does your profile describe you?

totallyscunnered · 07/01/2012 17:32

You may not have time to waste on gold diggers.

I don't have time to waste on uninspiring boring old farts.

HTH

mrwidower · 07/01/2012 17:32

thx fuckity - maybe

OP posts:
Chubfuddler · 07/01/2012 17:32

Arf at "cut out and keep".

Lifeissweet · 07/01/2012 17:34

OP, I have no idea what 'women' want because, you see, we have separate brains and the power of independent thought (I know! Incredible, isn't it?!)

Where are you finding these people?

totallyscunnered · 07/01/2012 17:34

PMSL @ "cut out and keep" yellow

Perhaps you should do mrwidower a handy aide memoire for his wallet?

SuePurblybilt · 07/01/2012 17:36

Oh I feel sorry for him now.

What has happened to make you feel this way OP? Do you see that you may have put a few backs up by posting on a mainly female forum that all women are shallow gold-diggers?

Lifeissweet · 07/01/2012 17:38

Ah - If Fuckity is right and you are being flash then I can assure you that I, for one, would find that incredibly off-putting. I hate ostentatious behaviour and think it must be a front for low self-esteem or lacking social skills.

If money is not mentioned/demonstrated, then it can not be a factor in forming a relationship.

IslaDoit · 07/01/2012 17:38

I know people think I married dh for his money but that's not true. It was for his amazing cunnilingus technique.

Perhaps you could do yourself a little CV MrWidower? Then we can see if there are areas that you could improve/train up in.

totallyscunnered · 07/01/2012 17:40

I almost spilled my entire guts onto this thread typed something very personal.

I shall now retire from this thread Blush
