This question would confuse my motorcycle riding girlfriend... :S
But I think you can approach women the same way you approach your motorcycle... If you don't treat your motorcycle right, it won't treat you right in return. What happens if you don't lube the chain? It will wear out and everything will go to shit! What happens if you don't maintain the right pressure in your tires? They'll go flat and you won't be going anywhere... What happens if you don't fix the suspension? Even a night on the town will get you jerked around... You'll be having a conversation and BAM! One speed bump and she's already driving you nuts!
That being said, even if you so treat her right and change her oil on a regular basis (e.g. get her flowers every 5k), she may not be the one for you... Not into fat chicks? Then why are you riding a Harley? Have an Asian fetish? Then jump on a gixxer! Like those quirky tattooed up sexy girls that work in your favourite coffee shop? Get a cafe racer! And of course if mommy wants you to bring an Italian girl home then you always have a high maintenance ducati girl...
You see folks, life imitates art and vice versa. You need to first find the right girl for you, and then treat her right, and in return you'll be a happy man. If you're not being treated right, then either you're doing something wrong, or she's not the one for you. Now if you'll excuse me... I'm going for a ride... I hope you are too.

Yeah...I'm old school.
The four bikes I have in my garage, are still cheaper than my ex-wife....
All guys are crazy, all women are crazy, you just have to find a crazy that works well with your crazy. This is made harder because women LIE, most often to themselves. :
There is NO SUCH THING as normal! If there were, normal would be average, and average is mediocre. ;D
I think this topic came-up around the coolers at the last Barber get-together. One of the ladies present was surprised when I said, "I have found very few women enjoy being around men." Oh sure a lot enjoy having access to a guy to fill various needs and deeds, but actually enjoy doing the same things he enjoys, in an atmosphere where he is most comfortable......NOPE. :'(

I don't want crazy I don't want lies I just want mediocre
I literally want a plain and normal girl, if she were nice or sweet in the slightest it would be a bonus but any girls I've dated in the past you could write a freaking book about...literally you can't invent crazier stories than I have about them
All bikes have the same routine: suck, push, bang, blow.

Then there's the oddball like me that prefers, hands down, to hang out with men. I have no interest in sitting poolside with the girls, admiring a pool boy's ass while sipping a cocktail and reading the latest issue of Vogue. Nor do I care about shopping sprees or couponing or play dates or trends.4eyes said:All guys are crazy, all women are crazy, you just have to find a crazy that works well with your crazy.

I'd rather be surrounded by my dtt buddies in the garage, with beer, bikes, and cigar smells in the air. Angle grinder? Allow me.
Sounds like you've had some bad experiences, Finn. But you don't have to hate on all women, ya know.

So what is the common denominator with all the girls you've dated? (Wait for it....)

Crazy town. In San Diego if you grew up here you have a chip on your shoulder, and girls that got kicked out of university to teach yoga think they're God's gift.
No joke the last girl i went out with said she'd been haunted since she can remember (apparently her whole family has been for generations)
Then there's the one who after the first week of dating told me she thought it'd be sexy for us to poo on each other.
Sorry haircuttergirl i'm sure you're a blast but I'm gonna die alone unless you know someone in southern CA with similar interests as you

Mr. Finnigan... We all know, especially if you're of a certain age, there is always two sides to every story. What is it that attracts these women to you? STOP IT!!
I hear ya dude, it's tough out there. Years ago I was at a pub after ending my first marriage. A beautiful woman sits down next to me and we hit it off. I noticed the guys at the bar started moving away, and looking a little scared... About 54 seconds into our conversation she goes into the whole history how her and her girlfriend had been abducted by aliens just the week before in the desert.... I asked for my tab and left.

I feel partly responsible for the thread as Finn and I were talking about it yesterday, as seen in the first post. Seems like he and I are in similar situations single, eat, sleep and breath motorcycles just different location. There are a number of things that run through my head about the dating scene and as someone said earlier guys and girls alike are crazy just depends on what kind and how much that makes ya compatible.
Although I am still young in the whole scheme of things I have had interesting experiences, like anyone else, from having girls ask me on a first date to be their donor because they wanted a child or had one come at me with a knife because she thought I was an old boyfriend that really messed with her head. It all adds to the flavor of life I say and I have seen guys do just as crazy off the wall shit. If anything it has made me pay more attention to who I ask out and more observant and I don't do the whole blind date thing anymore, by doing that I tend to find more women that I have common interests with and less.....issues.

I'll just throw this out there. I did the online dating thing for awhile back and met some great women online. Some are still my good friends today. Yeah, a few odd ones that made it past my filters but not past a 1 hour lunch date. I considered the nutty ones entertaining. I didn't take it personal if we didn't hit it off, dating is a process and you just have to go through it with a good attitude. I found it easy to be straight forward and honest and expected the same from them. It's a different way to go about dating but it can work. My previous smart ass comment about "the common denominator" is _you_. It was not intended as criticism. We choose how we look at life, improve the outlook, improve the experience.

Anyone named Kevin on the forum, I am just wondering if this happened to you?

No quarter given, none taken.
Hahahaha! That made my day! Got me some this morning, after work. And a woman was involved. She didn't even need to be inflated. ;Dlingo said:
Seriously glad I'm done with the whole dating thing. Good luck to all of you still out there.
