I want a man

[MissHoneychurch]

a good, honest, trustworthy and funny man. Why is it so f*cking hard to find one?

[GOPisEvil]

1. We're out here.

(He said without a trace of ego.)

[MissHoneychurch]

2. then why are ya'll hiding?

[GOPisEvil]

5. I think a lot of "good guys" are homebodies.

I really don't go out all that much myself. Thus, it's hard to be seen at meet people. I'm also an introvert, which doesn't help.

I'm just speaking for myself, but I bet my answers are fairly typical.

[SarahB]

27. I think you're right there.

I've always liked the more quiet types, but I can be enough of a flirt to put myself out there so they know I'm interested. Sometimes the types of men that make better "relationship guys" are more reserved to begin with. Therefore, you have to be willing to meet them halfway. It helps that I'm more of a family-oriented homebody when it comes down to it too. As flirty as I can be (or as girly as I can look), ultimately I'm a die-hard monogamist who doesn't use drugs (except coffee :P) and is pretty geeky on most levels. :D

[GOPisEvil]

41. See? I'm a lot like your fella, just less sappy.

:D

[kick-ass-bob]

49. I would have to agree.

I only met my wife because we lived in the same building - and all her friends are jealous because I am all of the aforementioned.

(And I'm smart enough to use the word "aforementioned")

:P

[MissHoneychurch]

51. I noticed it

I am impressed! :P

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

94. I think I'm a"good guy"

and my mom tells me I am also.

I'm not much of an outgoing person. I'd much rather stay home and watch a movie or go to the movies then go out to normal socializing places.

Your answers are fairly typical, in my opinion also, for those of us who consider ourselves "good guys."

[Wetzelbill]

162. GOP is right, I've evolved into a homebody too

I'm a little introverted too. Never used to be like that so much.

Better than being perverted I guess. :)

[BlondieK143]

3. Because almost all the good ones are either

taken or gay. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

4. you are right about that

but you are younger and have a better chance than I to find a good one :) You have a bigger pool to chose from :P

[BlondieK143]

6. Not necessarily.

Most of the ones my age are immature and egotistical. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

7. but they will grow up over the next few years (hopefully)

[Wetzelbill]

163. oh you just sound as if you were a spinster

[ghostsofgiants]

21. So I'm not a good one?

Ouch. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

24. are you gay or taken?

:P

[ghostsofgiants]

25. I am neither

[MissHoneychurch]

26. then you are bad

which is good for us. Hey Blondie, here is one who isn't taken yet. Who gets the first dip? :evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

28. I can live with that

:evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

30. I am sure of that

:P

i guess Blondie has a better chance since I am in Germany. Too far away to get a threat :evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

43. I'm pretty light, I doubt it'd cost much to FedEx me overseas

[MissHoneychurch]

46. if FedEx is too expensive

check UPS :)

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

172. Ey!

This german gal allready has a minstrel...bug off :P

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

97. I am neither taken or gay

and young and employed as of tomorrow. What else could I possibly do to "advertise" myself.

Alright, maybe I could go out and be around people more....

[maveric]

131. What do you consider a "good one"?

Good looks, makes a lot of money, intelligent???

[teach1st]

8. I'd volunteer...

...but I'm a liar. And that's the truth!

[MissHoneychurch]

10. thanks anyway

:)

[Xipe Totec]

9. You just reminded me of a quote from Dogma

Bethany: You're suggesting I need to get filled?

Liz: In more ways than one. You need to get laid, Bethany Sloane. You need a man, if only for ten minutes.

Bethany: It's been my experience that the average male is never a man. Not even for ten minutes in his entire lifespan.

Liz: That's a bit militant. You thinking of joining the other side?

Bethany: Couldn't do it. Women are insane.

Liz: Then YOU need to go back to church and ask God for a third option.

Bethany: I think that God is dead.

Liz: The sign of a true Catholic.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. LOL

good conversation. And so true :P

[In_The_Wind]

11. I WANT ONE TOO!

darned it

[MissHoneychurch]

14. ...

:hug: .... I know they are hiding somewhere.

[In_The_Wind]

19. yesterday's bass player

was wearing a lovely gold wedding ring (darned it :() that I noticed as we shared a few moments of conversation and a drink between sets ... the music was great but there was nothing else interesting on the honey hunting scene ... however if ya can't spend the afternoon oceanside spending it creekside is the next best thingB-)

[MissHoneychurch]

22. darn wedding ring

I know you keep hunting till you have the big prize in your hands :evilgrin:

1 more month and I am sitting at an ocean again. The Baltic Sea :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

32. I'm glad he was wearing his wedding ring instead of hiding it ...

in his pocket. I complimented him on his playing but my flirt switch was instantly turned off.


x( dammit :grr: honey hunting season is already 1/2 over this year

[MissHoneychurch]

34. true also

you know I started my own hunting again also. But I take it slow at the moment :)

[In_The_Wind]

38. I've been taking it slowly

for 3 friggin years ~ it's time to move on ... kick it up a notch as the saying goes

[MissHoneychurch]

45. only one notch?

:evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

47. only a very part time notch

FWB ... but far too infrequently :evilfrown: x(

[all.of.me]

60. yes, it would be nice, huh?

but it has to be a HEALTHY relationship! no more bullshit for me!

[In_The_Wind]

67. I totally agree with that!

bullshit games are for children

[Wetzelbill]

165. I like playing trucks myself

other than that I'm relatively mature. Well...I do watch pro wrestling.

Maybe I'm not that mature.

[gmoney]

13. I thought I was one...

...but I'm still available, so apparently not.

[MissHoneychurch]

15. any excuses?

:)

[gmoney]

16. Ignorance of the laws?

but I'm told there's really no excuse... no room for a learning curve.

[Bucky]

17. Perhaps it is your crude, unladylike language

that astrix won't fool any real Democrats

[MissHoneychurch]

18. it takes a lot before I curse

but I do curse when I feel it is necessary :)

[LynneSin]

20. If you get a few extra to spare can you share a few with me

:D

[MissHoneychurch]

23. I sure will

but they are rare around here.

[chknltl]

169. Your hobby made me laugh...

...thanks, LynneSin, best hobby I have heard of in awhile. :)

[no name no slogan]

29. HELLO! Here's one!!! Even comes with OWN baggage!

I am honest, have a heart of gold, am gainfully employed, own my own home, intelligent, not bad looking (or so I have read), and will make you laugh within the first five minutes of meeting me.

Hey, I'm even going through a divorce, so I come with my own baggage! You don't need to bring yours, unless you want to!

:P:* :+ :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. are you moving to germany?

:evilgrin:

Darn, I need to come to the next bigger DU meeting.

[no name no slogan]

33. Hey, I'd emigrate!

I have highly-transferable tech skills, and after I sell my house I'll have about $60k sitting around. Too bad my German stinks. However, I did take a couple years in high school-- I don't think it would be too hard to pick up again...! :D

[MissHoneychurch]

35. well, my English is pretty good

so take your time with the German ;)

$60K, huh?

[no name no slogan]

44. Yeah, we bought right before the housing bubble started

We bought at below-market value in 1997, right before the local market took off. We had to quit remodelling it last year, when I lost my job, so it's still in disrepair. We're selling for less than the market value, but we'll still make out okay. The house is in such a sorry state of repair, I'd rather have the money right now, anyway!

What part of Germany are you in? My last employer had offices in Frankfurt, but I never had a good enough business purpose to make the trip. Of course, I bet I could fly pretty well for $60k... :D

[MissHoneychurch]

48. Frankfurt

:D

[GOPisEvil]

52. The first place I ever "saw" in Germany was Frankfurt.

I arrived from Athens on my second birthday. We even flew Lufthansa. Sadly, we were stationed at Fulda.

[MissHoneychurch]

53. Fulda isn't too far from Frankfurt

on your second birthday???? How much did you remember then seeing?

[GOPisEvil]

56. Almost nothing.

:(

I remember a little bit of Fulda. We left there when I was 4. I haven't been back to Europe since.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. it changed since then, you know?

and you might actually be able to grasp what you see :)

[GOPisEvil]

58. I'd love to go back.

I'm saving airline miles to fly for free. I'm about 2/3 there.

[MissHoneychurch]

59. that is cool

when you fly to Frankfurt, I am more then glad to pick you up :)

[GOPisEvil]

62. Thanks!

I'll keep you posted.

I'd like to take 30 days and just cruise around Europe at my leisure.

[no name no slogan]

61. COOL!!!

Maybe I could look up my old company and see if they'd hire me? I was laid off, but I left on very good terms... :D

[MissHoneychurch]

70. maybe you should

Germany is different from the States but then we do have things in common with you. It is actually a good palce to live.

Let me know when you are coming so I can clean up my apt :)

[no name no slogan]

74. I'll be sure to let you know

I haven't been to Europe since 1998 (I used to live in the UK back in the early 90s). I need an excuse to travel, anyhow, and once I sell the house nothing will stop me.

And if worse comes to worse, I can always bring my guitar and busk for Euros on street corners! :P

[MissHoneychurch]

75. you better let me know

my home is always open for friends.

[no name no slogan]

76. And if you ever get to the midwestern US

around Minneapolis, mine's open too! Of course, I don't know why you'd like to come here though... the weather stinks, the food's not good, but the people are nice. And the music is GREAT. Home of Prince, the Replacements, Husker Du, Soul Asylum, and a bunch of other bands who never got famous, too! :D

[MissHoneychurch]

77. thanks

I'll keep it in mind. There are still a lot of places in the US I wanna visit.

You mean like your band? ;)

[indigo32]

92. I'll vouch for the cute, nice and funny part

I've met him in person.

Unfortunately I'm on my own search and he doesn't qualify ;)

[no name no slogan]

96. Thanks indi!

The check's in the mail :rofl:

[Trigger Hippie]

36. I want one too.

But it's been so long since I've had a man, I don't think I'd remember what to do with him. :P

But I'd probably remember pretty quick. :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

39. you need suggestions?

they can be useful once in a while :evilgrin:

[Trigger Hippie]

42. Yeah, lay 'em on me.

I'm always open to new ideas. :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

50. Lemme see

they are useful when you need anything done in the house (like putting together a kitchen or bathroom).

and in the bedroom .... they can be useful too :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

166. fortunately I am well trained and able to use at a woman's leisure

so you'd have time to get your skills back in order.}(

[Deja Q]

37. I want one too! Let's start a club!

:D

[MissHoneychurch]

40. LOL

I think the man you are looking for might be a bit different from what I look for :evilgrin:

[all.of.me]

63. lessens the competition.....

;)

[Kathleen04]

65. Send the ones that

are gay but not taken over to Hypnotoad, let's work together here. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

71. sounds good to me

the gay ones to Hypnotoad, the straight ones to us :)

[Wetzelbill]

167. hahaha

Now that is being a team player. That cracked me up.

[Kathleen04]

66. dupe n/t

[swag]

54. I like that "hard working" is not one of your criteria.

This gives me hope for the world.

[MissHoneychurch]

55. I want a man who can spend the time with me

not with his work.

[JHBowden]

64. You want someone who thinks life is a joke...

and yet is honest and trustworthy. Now think about this....

:think:

[MissHoneychurch]

72. no, I want one who enjoys life

and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Sorry, sometimes my English grammar isn't the best. Keep in mind I am German

[Wetzelbill]

168. hey, i'm German too

well some, anyway.

[leftofthedial]

68. I want a woman

A smart, funny, honest one who likes to have fun. Why is it so fucking hard to find one?

[gmoney]

69. They're elusive.

As someone else observed about men, all the good women seem to be either taken or gay, too.

[MissHoneychurch]

73. we get hurt by the liars

and then hide.

[leftofthedial]

141. why do the women blame the men and men blame the women?

why do hot dogs come 12 to the package and hot dog buns come only 8 to the package?

Life is full of mystery and wonder.

[leftofthedial]

142. why do the women blame the men and men blame the women?

why do hot dogs come 12 to the package and hot dog buns come only 8 to the package?

Life is full of mystery and wonder.

[ForrestGump]

78. I'm one...BUT

(there's always a 'but,' huh?)

despite sometimes strong contrary feelings, I'm not ready for the fray. May never be...or so I sometimes wonder.

And it's not just (an entirely justifiable) fear of cooties.




I guess it happens when it happens, huh? Maybe in your local supermarket, for all you know.

[pdx_prog]

79. I am a "ahem" prime specimen....

I even fly through Frankfurt on occasion.......<smile>

[MissHoneychurch]

80. you might want to get together with

gmoney and GOPisEVIL :)

let me know when you are here again. I like to meet fellow DUers :)

[pdx_prog]

132. Probably in September......

I'll just be flying through on my way to Stockholm....

We have a direct flight to Frankfurt on Lufthansa (from Portland), so we make most of our euro connects through FF...:)

[chaska]

81. You'll never catch a man with that potty mouth, young lady....

LOL!

[MissHoneychurch]

84. you watch and see

LOL

isn't there a saying "A lady on the street, a whore in the bed"? LOL

[RubyDuby in GA]

82. I took the last one. I'm sorry. We are working on replacing him, but it

could be about 20 years for the payoff. :)

No, seriously. I used to think the same thing, then poof, there he was. Good things come to those who wait. I promise. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

85. hey! give him back!!!!!!!

:P

happy for you that you found your right partner

[Taverner]

83. We're all gay and/or married

Sorry :)

[MissHoneychurch]

87. darn

and I felt so lucky today :P

[JVS]

86. What's in it for me?

[MissHoneychurch]

89. what do you have to offer?

:D

[JVS]

90. I asked you first

[MissHoneychurch]

93. Let's see

I have a good job, no kids, am intelligent and funny (once you know me). I am down to earth and a lot more

[JVS]

98. You still live in Frankfurt?

Am Main oder an der Oder?

[MissHoneychurch]

100. am Main

live here since almost 3 years and wil be hrer for some more time.

[JVS]

101. I might be out in Germany next summer.

I'm hoping to be the Grad Student/ Chaperone for my universities Vienna study abroad program

[MissHoneychurch]

102. that sounds great

and Vienna is so beautiful. At least that is what everybody tells me who was there. A lot of history there.

What kind of program?

[JVS]

104. German

[MissHoneychurch]

105. so wir können Deutsch sprechen

:)

[JVS]

109. Natuerlich

[MissHoneychurch]

110. wunderbar

seit wann lehrst du Deutsch?

[JVS]

113. Seit 1991

[MissHoneychurch]

116. das ist eine Weile

how often were you in German speaking countries sicne then?

[JVS]

119. Ich wohnte in Augsburg von 5.2000 bis 9.2001

[MissHoneychurch]

120. anderthalb Jahre

und Augsburg ist eine schöne alte Stadt. Wie hat es Dir gefallen?

[JVS]

122. Augsburg har mir sehr gut gefallen, aber ich glaube Muenchen ist etwas...

interessanteres.

[MissHoneychurch]

124. Ich muß gestehen, ich war noch nie in München

ist fast peinlich aber es stimmt

[JVS]

128. Du musst dahin fahren. Bald wird es Oktoberfest. Das sollst du sehen.

[MissHoneychurch]

129. genau da will ich nicht hin

zu viele Besoffene.

[JVS]

177. In Bayern nennen wir das "gute Stimmung"

[chaska]

88. I've looked at every post and not one picture....

Honey, you gotta advertise. Let's see what you got! ;)

Seriously, I spent an evening, a year or two ago, with a beautiful (and intact - a rarity in the states these days) family of 5 from Germany. We shared a lean-to (a 3 sided log shelter) on the Appalachian Trail.

I just fell in love with this family. They were so wonderful. They cooked a nice meal, roasted marshmellows over the fire, and then read to the children before bedtime. It nearly brought tears to my eyes.

They were so great (and included me in much of what they did). I wanted to move to Germany ... where the American Dream apparently still lives.

[MissHoneychurch]

91. here are some pictures - just klick through the posts

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3620021

yes, the American Dream is still alive here. It is for me. I really love the U.S. except your government. I lived there for a little bit and I met the average American and I felt like home. More than in Germany.

[no name no slogan]

95. Okay, it's official

I officially have a crush on you! :9

(scurries off to find when the next one-way flight to Hamburg leaves) :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

99. ummm ... Frankfurt my dear, Frankfurt

:)

and wow!! Someone has a crush on me :blush:

[no name no slogan]

103. Lookit that, you're making me all muddle-headed

FRANKFURT-- of course I knew that!!! :banghead:

[MissHoneychurch]

106. aww sweetie

don't worry, eveything is alright :hug:

[no name no slogan]

108. [whew] that was close!

And I thought I'd blown it already!

[MissHoneychurch]

114. holla

you sure can come to me :evilgrin:

[khashka]

107. I want a Nazi with a heart of gold

but I'm kinda weird in the relationship department.

But good , honest, trustworthy, funny? Well, I found one but you can't have him - I'm keeping him for myself :)

Khash.

[MissHoneychurch]

115. not very nice of you

never heard of sharing?

[khashka]

125. Ok you shamed me into it

How about a joint custody agreement?

Khash.

[MissHoneychurch]

126. that could be the deal

any small printed text I need to read vefore signing?

[SOteric]

111. Dudette, this place is swarming with them.

:shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

117. only problem

we are online here. Most of you are in the States and I am in Germany. It might be a problem there :)

[SmileyBoy]

112. I guess I'm at the end of the line, huh??

I'm number 97.

"Number 6, next, please..."

[MissHoneychurch]

118. me really needs to start to think

I live in the wrong country.

[sendero]

121. Because....

... we're all pretty much taken. But one comes available every now and then :)

[MissHoneychurch]

123. can you send me the next available over?

it would be much appreciated.

[maveric]

127. I know many women who want that but opt for the "bad boy", tough guy.

The guy with the attitude, and the Harley, who 8 times out of 10 end up being an abusive asshole.
I'm going through that right now. She likes me but is attracted to the big, "alpha type", tough guy who is intimidating and daring.

[ET Awful]

130. Because you don't live near me Honeychurch :)

Hell, I might even make you Mrs.Honeychurch-Awful

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

134. you already have part of my heart

or should I say your cats? :)

A man who has such beautiful cats just has to be loveable :*

[liss681]

133. don't give up!

I found one when I was 16... I just had to train him to be that way!

[MissHoneychurch]

135. well, I am 30

and still hadn't had the luck to stumble over one.

[liss681]

136. i'm sure you will stumble over one soon!

[MissHoneychurch]

137. your word in gods ear

oh and welcome to DU :hi:

[enigmatic]

138. Hey, I was 37 when I met my wife

And I wasn't looking; I was a confirmed Loner. You'll find the right one sooner than me:)

[GaYellowDawg]

143. Ahem...

How about this? I'm 38 (but look 30), never married, minimal emotional baggage, one year from completing my PhD. I love sports, movies, classical music (and I will sign to you or play the piano for you... ah, Chopin...), and I'm trained Southern gentleman; e.g., I open doors and pick up the check. And how's this for a range of talents: I can cook, I can do laundry without ruining it (yes, I know what fabric softener is and I know not to put bras in with the other "delicates" or in the dryer), I can change the oil in the car, and I can do tilework/caulking/basic plumbing. I love to make people smile or laugh. I have no distinguishing scars. I am 6 feet (1.82m) tall. Black hair, fair skin, light brown eyes with gold highlights.

What's the catch, you say? I just have horrible timing. I can never seem to meet the right person at the right time.

[MissHoneychurch]

145. A Georgia boy

now those are my favorites :)

Where were you when I was in Savannah in 1997/1998?

[GaYellowDawg]

147. Murfreesboro, TN

Sorry...

I love the Savannah area. I also love the coastal barrier islands. If you're willing to take the ferry, there are some great pristine beaches on Sapelo.

[MissHoneychurch]

148. been to St. Simon

and to the Outer Banks in NC.

I love the ocean. When I was in Savannah I went to the beach every weekend if possible (and I was there during winter time).

[GaYellowDawg]

149. I wish someone had told you about Sapelo.

It's not developed like the NC beaches or St. Simon's. There's a beach on Sapelo close to the old RJ Reynolds mansion that has almost no light pollution. On a moonless night, you can walk along the beach, see the stars, see the phosphorescence of the breaking waves. You can see the lights of fishing boats 2-3 miles offshore. It's completely dark... and completely romantic.

[MissHoneychurch]

153. where is it

I really haven't heard of it. I know you only can get to Little Tybee by boat.

It sure sounds like a place I wanna see.

[GaYellowDawg]

157. Here's a map...

And here's a nice little website...

http://www.gacoast.com/navigator/sapelo.html

[MissHoneychurch]

160. darn, I can't believe I missed that

next time I am in that area I will make a trip there.

[Wetzelbill]

170. I'm 30 too!

That does it. I am officially yours.

[CanuckAmok]

139. I'm all that, plus hung like a mastodon.

So that probably makes me overqualified.

Oh, well... back to the personals.

[MissHoneychurch]

140. now please explain the mastodon

that made me curious :D

[GaYellowDawg]

144. Let's hope he doesn't mean freeze dried.

Sorry... couldn't resist. ;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

146. LOL

:rofl:

[evlbstrd]

150. "I want a woman"

who won't drive me crazy.

[MissHoneychurch]

151. now that might be aked a bit too much

:P

honestly, there are also women out there who aren't out to drive men crazy.

[evlbstrd]

152. Well, if we could connect the Interstate to the Autobahn,

we might talk over some nice German Wine and American Barbecue.

[MissHoneychurch]

154. sounds great

who is driving? I bring the wine :) I hope you have spare ribs on the grill :9

[evlbstrd]

155. Babyback ribs, smoked to tender perfection.

Stack 'em on white bread with pickle slices and a zesty sauce.
edit to add to the menu:

Some German potato salad and a side of Freedom Fries.
Do you have a good cabbage slaw recipe?

[MissHoneychurch]

156. GULP

now I am getting hungry. And it is only 9am here :banghead:

I have a good coleslaw recipe.

[evlbstrd]

158. Since there is no TransAtlantic Highway, Autobahn or Tunnel,

would you like to trade some recipes?
I can teach you how to smoke ribs, and make great pit beans.
I need a cole slaw and German potato salad recipe.

[MissHoneychurch]

159. I'll pm it to you when I get home

I am at work and don't have the recipes here.

[Wetzelbill]

161. you just described me to a T.....

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

164. then why aren't you on your way to Frankfurt yet?

:D

[Wetzelbill]

171. now that is a good question

[MissHoneychurch]

173. good question, next question

huh?

[Wetzelbill]

174. ok, now I'm confused.

[MissHoneychurch]

175. was just teasing you

with the "good question, next question" ... sorry that joke doesn't work over the net.

never mind me :)

[Wetzelbill]

176. oh, I got it...

I was just playing the dumb guy routine.

(and if you believe that bs....)
