I have been on several first dates and knew 5 minutes in it was a waste of time and had to explain it just wasnt going to work. I don't think that women are more picky. Some of us are not just looking for a hook up.

As a man I have been on a number of first dates where they were interested but I wasn’t. It goes both ways. It may be the law of supply and demand here, in the eyes of the two people. It is probably being more picky. It may also just be different criteria the two have.

I have to go out on a date first...

If he thinks you're hot in relationship to his level of horniness, he can ignore what you say and still want to see you again.

I think it is not so much about being picky. It has to do with the personality and communication. Eventually chemistry. It does not always work both ways.

It seems that men and women are both picky, but about different qualities. I'm attracted to people who are kind to waiters and waitresses, who smile and maintain eye contact, and who ask questions about me rather than just talking about themselves all the time. If that's being too picky, then so be it.

Yeah maybe. Sometimes I just wanna make out, no strings. Lol

Seriously though, I am very cerebral and want to text, then talk on the phone. If there is rapport then meet in person. A lot less weirdness this way I have found.

Sometimes women are way more pickier, it's tough out there for everyone. Smart phones have changed the game.

I spoke with a fruend testerday and discussed some of the differences ....laundry list Hell yes...As men do as well Particularly if they are leaving a LTR.. They may still have the skills of a twentysomething but are in their 50s and older.... Doesn't make for an 8interesting experience nir change my lack of interest in them

No I have had many coffee dates.... Just knew and it was sad to realize absolutely little in common but wished them well

More often than the reverse, absolutely. It might be just projecting what they feel and want.

I think there seems to be a half-truth to men not being very picky. I also think that there are two sides to that coin, as I've found myself in that situation as well. I can't really speculate on women being more picky about men though I have observed that personality in men seems to be a make-or-break characteristic for women that even looks cannot supersede. But again, I see that as a half-truth, as it's not always the case.

I'm sure the concept of this phrase has a previous origin but I remember it as Chris Rock had said it, "Desperation is the worst cologne."

In my experience, yes. Women seem to have a more highly refined definition of what they are seeking in a relationship.

it works both ways

I bet you both had tongues!

I don't know about other men or women, I know about me. I've had a couple guys that really seemed desperate and I just could not see it happening. One was really hard to discourage. Partly at my age, men seem to be afraid of being alone as they grow older, they want a nurse with a purse.

Some men would date a log. Clueless and thoughtless
