Okay, folks - let's get this thread back on topic.
If you wish to discuss this particular issue (which, admittedly is a good one), then start a thread on it in Relationships as it is not solely a Singles issue and one that many others can give good insight.
This is the game thread.

OK ladies here's a tough one.
When are we just supposed to listen to your problems and when are we supposed to fix your problems?
I'm very clear about this: if I want a man to listen to me, I will tell him that I need him to listen to me while I rant, opine, contemplate, etc. If I want him to assist me with something, I will ask specifically ask him for his help. But often, that doesn't mean that I want him to fix anything, but rather help me do it or teach me to do it.
As to fixing problems, humans can rarely fix someone else's problems. If I want a man's opinion on how to handle a situation (or even if I want a woman's opinion), I will be very specific in asking for their suggestions. Otherwise, I probably just want their prayers for Our Lord's Wisdom and Guidance in my life. (Oh, and if someone asks me if I want their opinion, I may say yes or I may say no thanks. If I say no thanks, please respect that and not take it personally).

I had the strangest thing happen as I was reading this. ANd it's so strange because I know it's not a Shar-Mar sort of thing.
I read the first line "As to fixing problems, humans can rarely fix someone else's problems. If I want a man's opinion" and my mind continued with "I'll beat it out of him"

BTW, Love the hat.
Which brings me to my next questions.
It used to be that a woman wasn't considered well dressed without a hat. Why don't most women wear hats anymore?
Thanks, on the compliment!
As to your question, I absolutely love hats . . . but rarely wear them.
Some of the reasons that come to mind are:
- Good quality hats are expensive. Cheaply made hats are horrid;
- Hats take up a lot of room in closets and such;
- I currently live in a very windy area; I would constantly be chasing my hat after it had blown of my head.

Hmm...some questions for the ladies here.
1) why do ladies need so many pairs of shoes? I know girls who have a TON...and it makes no sense to me!
2) why is it that a girl will say one thing and do another? For example, I had one girl saying that she wasn't interested in dating at all, and then within a week she basically straight-out hinted. I wasn't interested, but it left me wondering why that happens.

I have my Birks which I prefer over anything;
I have my Chaco sandals that I wear when I'm out riding my trike or walking around doing errands (my Birks are for casual walking; my Chacos are for errands and such);
I have a pair of felt clogs that I really don't like (color), so I'm waiting to figure out who to give them to;
I have a pair of loafers that I wear when it's too cold to wear my Chacos or Birks;
I have a pair of insulated snow boots (which is probably self-explanatory as to why I have them);
And last, but not least, I have a pair of brown suede Mukluks (Indian-style "snow boots")

Why do women go to the ladies room in groups?
Like SharMar, I'm okay being independent. Not to mention that it's much quicker.
However, my observation has been that women like to chat and primp together.

I think what they are looking for is, can you tell me the truth, in a way I can receive it? Can you compose an appropriate answer that is both truthful and loving? OK, then why do we get punished if we make a mistake in coming up with the perfect answer? Why not look to the meaning of what's said instead of merely the words?
Hmm... maybe it's because men often tell us they really do mean exactly what they say, and we shouldn't read into it? <shrug> Just a guess. I don't know for sure.

Question for the guys:
We all know what a man desires most in a relationship/marriage is respect.
When dating, what are the qualities you look for, that would make you feel that a given woman, would respect you in marriage?

In response to Nadine:
Does she listen intently to what I have to say or is she distracted by anything and everything?
Does she bounce back to me what I'm saying?
Does she thank me when I do something for her?
Does she ask me how she can pray for me? (and then follows up on it, prays, and then comes back and asks the next time what happened with the prayer request. also, if I ask her how I can pray for her, if she opens up and shares SOMETHING, that is also nice. doesn't need to be something deep.)
Does she badmouth me to her friends? (that will usually get back to people)
Does she encourage me and make me a better person?

When she asks for my advice, does she listen to me and seriously consider my advice or does she come up with one excuse after another as to why my suggestion won't work?
When I tell her how I'm feeling, does she dismiss my feelings as unimportant/wrong, or does she allow me the freedom to feel the way I do?
Do my mistakes/failures/personal failings/quirks become the butt of jokes when she's with her friends or do they remain behind closed doors?
Does she get angry with me because I don't know what she's thinking/feeling without her telling me or does she acknowledge that I can't know what she's thinking/feeling unless she does tell me?
Does she assume hidden meanings in every innocent remark or does she accept what I say as it's offered?

I've always wanted to know why guys take a perfectly nice pickup truck, put huge shocks on it and big tires and ruin the poor thing? I always feel so sorry for the poor cars.
And why do most guys like sports?
