If her dating profile says:

I won't change for any man, if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best, Ive been stuffed around too many times to deal with idiots etc etc

Take her outside and hose her down with cold water. Girls like that have the wrong attitude from the start and end up with a string of bad experiences.

imo its not that bad. However if they are pinching pretty cringeworthy quotes for dating profiles it checks all the boxes as dull as ****

Apologies - it's a work thing and so has become a habit

She is looking for the "normal" 28-33 year old and maybe they are getting sparse at that age

What is "normal", though? And if she's looking for 28-33 is she also 28-33 or slightly younger? If she's 21 that isn't what 28-33 year old guys are looking for.

Tayl0r is all over it. Many, many girls in Perth need to reassess what they're looking for and what they have to offer.

I can think of two reasons:

1. Cyclists
2. Motorists

You don't think maybe that guys may also need to lift their game.

I'm sure they do.

You still haven't told me what "normal" is, though.

Are we talking guys that are 20kg overweight, dress up like Stormtroopers on the weekends and don't go out other than to buy junk food and comic books that your daughter is meeting?

Guys are in a tricky spot, the sort that make for good partners aren't the ones who are catching the eye in the club being super confident and spontaneous.

Nope probably not, too many D/Hs out and about.

Tayl0r on the money again. The saying nice guys finish last didn't come about for no reason.

WCErevival · Mar 11, 2016

Do people go to clubs at that age?

The late 20's bracket you mean?

Yeah. Some clubs more than others.

ioppolo · Mar 11, 2016

Mustang Bar, if you call that a club.

That place still exists???

Scotland · Mar 11, 2016

I very rarely go to clubs. But I've never been a big clubgoer and I don't think Perth has a big clubgoing culture anyway.

Overseas I'll go out at 11pm or midnight and it's perfectly normal. Wouldn't even think about doing that in Perth. Would rather go to a couple of bars instead, even if they are only open until 12 or 1.

This would be true - girls do seem to gravitate towards the bad guy. I don't think though it's a factor the older you get (presuming here based on own experience)

"Normal" - takes care of himself, pride in appearance, stable job (not fifo), affectionate (beyond sex)

Taylor · Mar 11, 2016

If there was one piece of advise I could give to men it would be to have a plan for your life, be passionate about it and keep a spare seat on the trip for a partner to enjoy moments with you.

Guys struggling for themselves aren't alluring. If I want insecurity and confusion I'll talk to myself.

Know where you're going. Be happy without a partner on that journey, suddenly a wild partner appears.

Yes. My mates and I were the youngest by a good 10 years in there one Saturday night.

See, you are obviously part of the problem with that attitude

No, the older the get the more you look for good guys then complain that after years of being knocked back and watching you go for arseholes they don't show you any interest.

99 girls out of 100 will say this, and 99 out of that 99 will have a different expectation of what it actually means.

I'm going to apply it to one of my friends anonymously since he doesn't read BigFooty...

Takes care of himself - He's about 6', maybe 80kg. Does regular swimming, running but not stero-ripped by any means.
Pride in appearance - I guess so, gets regular haircuts, goes out in jeans and dress shoes etc, doesn't own anything with Unit or Ewood emblazoned on it.
Stable job - public school teacher with city permanency. Can't get more permanent than that but it's not all that glamorous.

Does he get 1 tick? 2 ticks? 3 ticks?

Keys · Mar 11, 2016

He doesn't read big footy so that's probably a good start

Reasonable advice, but if you have too much of a plan you'll have a line ruled through your name for being boring and predictable.

It's also very hard to accommodate someone else into your plan when they constantly want something else each other day.

So my counter advice to girls would be to be less batshit crazy.

Missing out. It's the best deal in town.

If anyone's looking Keyser has a daughter or daughters... give him a shout out. Dowry negotiable.

Yeah but they probably support the Eagles so there is a massive downside.

I guess you're right. Some folks are intimidated by intelligent females
