People fear the unknown and have always been suspicious of outsiders. Also, many minorities like Jews, Blacks & Irish have been mistreated or discriminated against big time. Also, it’s easier to relate to someone you have more in common with. I enjoy things exotic and new experiences, but was mugged several years ago by a young black guy and it was a devastating experience. I was petrified. Still hard not to be afraid of black guys, though not black women. Just Curious

During the millenia prior to this, hetero-sex generally led to pregnancies. Since women are the ones who carry and bear children, we’re on our own to support and raise a kid if the guy decides to bail and spread his seed elsewhere. Biology is destiny. It’s more common for males of all species to seek variety since they aren’t forced to deal with the consequences of pregnancy. If men were the ones who got pregnant and had to stay home with the kids, they might be more inclined to seek a woman willing to settle down and make a commitment to monogamy. Just Curious

They haven’t had much choice. Biology usually favors survival of the species, so women tend to have maternal instincts. There are many exceptions though. I believe I treated my cat with more maternal affection and concern than I received. Just Curious

Perhaps because their leaders were greedy for more power & wealth. Since they often considered their ordinary citizens cannon fodder, they sent them to war to attack their neighbors and other far off countries and towns. Since those conscripted soldiers were fighting “the enemy” for their king or emperor, I guess they came to regard all outsiders as potential enemies and spies. Just Curious

Look at the VIOLENT crime statistics in this country and you’ll see why. Gay men are the safest men for women to be around, frankly. We don’t have to worry bout rape and they have a low rate of violent crime. Just Curious

Call it ebonics or whatever you like, it is not proper English and sounds uneducated. If you’ll notice, the blacks who succeed (outside of rap and sports) – Obama, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice – they all speak proper English. It’s no coincidence. Other educated ethnic minorities that have become successful honor their heritage and speak ethnically at home, but they speak proper English in public. Just Curious

Maybe you need to find other places to meet women, like church or volunteer organizations. 2. Perhaps their fathers are adult “bad boys” so the daughters consider that normal. They don’t know what it’s like to be treated nicely. 3. Teenagers are at that awkward stage of being dependent on parents, yet starting to become an adult. Part of that process involves separating from parents, which often leads to rebellion against parental values. What would piss off nice parents more than having their daughters date bad boys? See what I mean? Sometimes this rebellion continues into the 20’s or beyond. Hopefully, these girls will discover they are worth the attention and kindness of a nice guy. If not, they’re not the girl for you. Just Curious

A joke – but true: When you’re 20, you worry what everyone thinks about you. When you’re 40, you don’t give a damn what anyone thinks about you. When you’re 60, you realize that nobody was thinking about you in the first place. Just Curious

I’m not old, but middle age. I have no problem with younger people as long as they don’t blast their music or TV. The few times this has happened, I’ve asked nicely for them to turn it down and they usually do, so no problem. I do get irked by some of the young guys who drive through the parking lot like the Indianapolis 500 and don’t give pedestrians right of way. Just Curious

JOKE, but true: when you’re in your 20’s you worry about what everyone thinks. When you’re in your 40’s you don’t give a damn what anyone else thinks. When you’re in your 60’s you realize that nobody was thinking about you in the first place. If somebody asked me why I couldn’t find someone my own age, I’d be tempted to ask them why they couldn’t mind their own business. Just Curious

Not just “the main event”. I enjoy sex and fantasize. Have you noticed that in movies, women characters who really enjoy sex seem to die or get punished for their urges? Just Curious

My mom (86) and my aunt (89) still have their licenses. It represents their freedom. Neither drives at night and both have cut down on their driving, still … Older drivers have slower reaction times, and generally have poorer vision and hearing loss. With the increased use of cell phones by drivers and pedestrians not looking where they’re going, driving has become even more of a challenge. Personally, I think all drivers should have to take not only the vision test but the driving test every 10 years. If more cities had good, safe public transportation, it might be easier to convince older drivers to give up their keys. Just Curious

When you arrive, tell her you can only stay 20 minutes. If they ask why, just say, “I have other obligations.” Try not to lie. After 15 minutes, look at your watch and say, “It’s nice talking to you, but I need to leave soon.” Then do it at 20 minutes or so – not rudely, just assertively. She may not like it at first, but if you make a habit of doing this, she’ll get used to it. Be sure to say, “I love you” whether you mean it or not and hopefully she won’t be too upset. If you train yourself to do this (it takes practice to work up the nerve), you won’t resent her so much and can have pleasanter visits. Also, you may come prepared to tell her something about your life, bring photos, tell h
