Demystifying the Single Woman

Ever wonder what goes on inside the single woman's mind when it comes to dating? It's not as dark, mysterious, or scary as you might think. In fact, by getting to know what and how we think, you may just discover a thing or two that'll make trying to date us easier.

Ever wonder what goes on inside the single woman's mind when it comes to dating? It's not as dark, mysterious, or scary as you might think. In fact, by getting to know what and how we think, you may just discover a thing or two that'll make trying to date us easier. Then again...

We’re not all about looks, so you shouldn't be either

While we appreciate the aesthetics of six-pack abs, bulging biceps, and a great butt, you don't have to have them for us to consider you a catch. But just as we're willing to accept your beer belly and/or back hair, you should accept us as we are. And even though we don't look like Angelina Jolie, when you compliment us on our curves, calves, or killer smile, we kinda feel like her. (Hint -- that would make you Brad Pitt, and most of us would do a whole lot to Brad in the bedroom. Bring on the compliments!)

We like it when you make the first move (but if you don't, we might)
We realize it's hard for a guy to know when to approach us, especially when we're out and about with our estrogen pack (or as we like to say, on a Girls' Night Out). But when we separate ourselves from the herd, make eye contact, and smile, we're giving you the go-ahead to approach. And if you don't respond? If we're feeling particularly confident and cute that night, we just might approach you. And when we do, give us a chance. After all, we're going out on a limb. If you're not interested, that's perfectly fine, but let us down gently. We can handle rejection, but we'd appreciate a certain level of respect when being rejected. (Thanks!)

You don't have to be a pickup artist to get our phone number
We know all about The Game, but did you know that you don't need to employ pickup artist tactics to get our phone number? In fact, it's pretty safe to say that by the time we graduate college, we're no longer looking for some guy who's got game. We're smart, driven, independent, and fun-loving individuals with brains who'd much rather hear your most genuine How are you? over How you doin'? any day. (Honest!)

Material things don't impress us
Unless you want to date a gold digger (and if so, good luck!), don't try to show off on a date by flaunting your material possessions. Expensive cars, bling accessories, and a pocket full of cash just don't impress us. We have our own money, our own homes, our own lives. If we're worth your time, we're not looking for someone to bankroll our lifestyle. Instead, what impresses us is kindness, consideration, and a sense of humor. Plus, when it comes to finances, we'd much rather date a guy who lives within his means and is planning for his future than someone who always has to have the latest gadget or ride but can't seem to pay off his credit card.

It is allways a good Idea to know how a woman thinks.. We all are in this world and we all need to know how to get along, we all have things going on in our lives, and we all have different personalities, so if we learn about (OurMy) personal qualities and (Hers) it is essentially giveing us some tools to work with in understanding each other.

It also will give you insight into what kind of a woman you want to spend your life with. then you stop wasting time chasing the wrong kind.Laughing

Clearly written by a female to maintain the Female Agenda. "...be honest"? Oh yeah that'll work. Dear, I slept with your best friend. Run that around the block & see how it works. The female drive to get the male to be honest is so she can have more control of ghe situation while she will be honest when she feels like it. "Material things don't impress us". Which planet does that exist on? You see gorgeous babes flocking to wealth by the busload. Sure a guy can do fine with just a little charm. But, try drivinging up to her fancy home in a beat up '82 Chevette. If she says she is not impressed with material things, let's see how she fields that display. Maybe not all women have marriage on the brain. But, at some point in the relationship, whether months or years, she will bring the subject of marriage to the fore. She's a woman. She wants kids. She wants a man to father them. Yes, some will settle for artificial insemination - but those women probably were not dating anyway. Otherwise there were some good comments re. you really do not need a pickup line. "Hello" works amazingly well. As for sitting around some lady's living room playing video games: that is just rude.

Yes, you're right . . . we're all out to get you, tie you up in knots and make you consumately unhappy for the rest of your natural life. That's a pretty global description of females as being rather adept at pissing you off. You've bunched them into a category where one size fits all. Some of us actually enjoy being with men, have people's best interests at heart and blunder through relationships and make mistakes . . . just like men. Makes us a all rather human instead of stereotyped into the Wicked Witch of the West . . . dear me, where's my broom.

We? Us?

So by virtue of the fact that I am single and am also a woman, I therefore think like every other single woman?
