I've never really understood why friends don't set each other up more, but at least here it doesn't seem to happen much. I don't do it, so why would I expect my friends too?
Totally, you should! My thing wasn't a set up, our mutual friends didn't even know Bob was going to come to their baby shower, but he was someone they always claimed they
would
have set me up with if we lived in the same town. Ha! who knows?
What does it mean when a woman's profile says she wants a "real man"?
Well, she could be an idiot who has very stereotypical ideas about how men should be but maybe she just means "wants a grown up" and is phrasing it badly?
why would you not consider yourself a real man?
'Cuz usually in that context, "real man" = macho or whatever, which I am not.
I want a Honda Fit for my next car, I think.
I would hope they mean someone who can take care of himself as a grownup.
Maybe I will look at all my single male contacts in LA tonight on Facebook and see who would be good for Allyson.
Although my brain works in weird ways. When I think "real man" I picture the guy from the Marlboro ads... dressed as a cowboy, riding a horse, smoking, gay....

If you're lucky, possibly she means she wants a man who isn't a Apatow-esque man child or a spray-tanned dudebro with ridiculous hair.
If you aren't lucky, she's been conditioned by a patriarchal society to expect a man to conform to her own bizarre set of rules, and if you can't do something on her checklist, you have failed at being a real man.
I am a woman and also real, but I suspect that I don't qualify as a "real woman" most of the time.
Also, "Real Man" and "SNAG" are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
I am pretty sure those women are not looking for the Marlboro man or even a hetero version of him. ijs. If that is the only thing in the profile giving you pause, take a shot.

Well, they do love "real manliness" in the Castro.
