"Friends" that try to set you up

I think this is the classic example of the differences in women and men, and the way they look at relationships. You would be better off going it alone IMO. Good luck either way!
 
A good man goes out to seek companionship... a good woman stays home and waits... they never meet. - fortune cookie

Have you tried one of those dating sites where you can dial in someone who has the attributes that you are attracted to?
 
I have a preference of girls that I like. Starts out the outside and then I check out the personality. Just how it works. If I cant see myself naked in a hot tub with them at some point it ain't happening.
 
I'm in the Fort Collins area through the 19th. If you need me to stop by and give you some free advice send me a PM. :D

Some of my lady friends are trying to set me up as they know I am single and back in CO......

I do have an issue though.

Why is it that the majority of my girl friends are trying to set me up with girls that they should know that I do not find attractive at all? I consider myself a fit, decent looking dude and yet so far, most of the girls that they are trying to hook me up with are, how can I say it kindly, overweight and not have cute faces? I mean to the point that it is evident we don't participate in the same activities....

Sure they are nice and all but really, if my friends want to hook me up with someone, I would like to be physically attracted to her and be able to relate to shared activities.

Makes me question what type of friends I have that are trying to hook me up with their single not-cute obese friends for the mere fact that I am currently not seeing anyone.

I am in no rush to date though wouldn't mind it but seriously, I am not going to date whomever for the fact that I am "single"

Anyone have similar experiences?

[doublepost=1488411486][/doublepost]Ive had the same experience with female friends. I'm happy being single and yet they try and push me into dating obese guys that complain no girl wants them. They do it bc they pity the guy and want to see him happy

Don't overlook other attributes such as character, personality, intelligence, etc.

Remember, external beauty is only skin deep and can complicate relationships at times.

Oh I know and I value those traits greatly. However, I would like to be physically attracted to the lady if I would date her and be able to enjoy shared activities



I have no issue having and making new nice friends.

However, I also will not date any single girl just because they are single and I am single. We can be great friends, sure, but for me, I need to at least have a physical attraction in the relationship and would hope my friends realized that before trying to set me up with their single friends.


No, I think my friends should try and set me up with a woman who is able to enjoy the same things as I. When her activities consist of alot of things not considered "active" in my book and it shows physically, it won't work regardless of how nice she is.

Lifestyles don't mesh and my friends should know that lol

Owell

Just tell your friends to just stop trying to introduce people to you. You have Tinder, Match and Grindr as options!
