ORIGINAL: FieryOpal We've all sown our wild oats. Maturity tends to come with age, and I'm sure you're a lot more content in your stable LTR than you were when you were hunting around for your next hook-up back in your 20s. I've got to say every idea in that is completely foreign to me. Okay,...then you are an advocate for NSA casual hook-ups because this is foreign to your experience. Makes perfect sense. You must have only had a couple steady girlfriends. Sounds like my older son, always respectful of females (so is my younger, but hasn't had a real girlfriend yet, just the girl he took to the school formal dance). quote:

ORIGINAL: FieryOpal Oh, I also believe those lying-profile stats reflect the majority of stag (or cheating) men's basic nature to say whatever line of b.s., or to give whatever impression they can, even make whatever promises they sense are necessary to get what they want from a woman. Wow, issues with men much.... I didn't make up that conclusion, but I checked my driver's license, and it indicates that I wasn't born yesterday. :p I've know a lot of women, some of them have been co-workers. We swap stories. They didn't all have great fathers like I did, spend over 20 years with one faithful man (who was a devoted husband and father), raise two wonderful sons, have pretty decent male relatives. None of us have been spared from the date(s) from hell. Btw, the most common stat that men fudge is over-reporting their height. (Also age, but there are women do that, too, with under-reporting their age.) Yep I have known one man who was honest about his height.... and that was by refusing to say... I don't get it but it doesn't bother me... not just taller, some say they are shorter than they are too. A part of me thinks that's because men don't tend measure much, so they just say whatever they assume they are. Which neans what they say is an easy way to judge their self importance. If he says he's more than a foot taller than he is, likelihood of him being an asshole goes up exponentially. Women do it too but usually less with simple facts and more withihow people feel about them. Like with references for a job. "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".
