Are Jamaican men boring to date?

[RichD]

Is she really that bad?

the other day a single friend of mine was talking about finding Gf who played golf ..we told him that he would have to find new golf partners..because boys could not be boys if there was a lady present.

Speaking of Urban Dance.

you have missed the point once more

more deep thinking required

[Tropicana]

You said that there may be reasons why people don't go to certain places or do certain things.

you need to do some deeper thinking on the reasons why the jamaicans you meet here might not be into Ballet or Symphony.

a good friend of mine always buns fiyah on christmas and the commercialism of christmas..but one day he let it slip that it was the financial pressures of the season that made him bun fiyah and that he would probably not bun fiyah if he had no financial constraints.


sometimes you have to have some sensitivity.

I am building on that. So what point do you feel I have missed this time?

it is nuanced. so you grew up exposed to classical music and cultural events ... do you think you would have the same interests if you had never been exposed to these things when growing up?

it has to do with parents and nurture also.

1. Find smaddy that you like/love and go to the things you have in common together and go to those things with them; (not fair to him or you) and

2. Make sure the girlfriend list ling so the things the man don't like you have a friend to hang out with.

Just like it is good to have friends and other interests outside of work, the same applies to marriages. Not disrespecting your preferences just a suggestion on how to have your cake and eat it.

Yes and no. For sure that has a something to do with it. I have cousins who have no interest in those areas. My parents had limited exposure to those things growing up but they learned to like them. Can't remember if my Dad went to the Nutcracker with us. He certainly came to my ballet recitals. Your daughter dances, do you go to her recitals?

As for horse riding, afternoon tea, and polo, I didn't grow up with them but got exposed to them by accident and loved them. So we can acquire new interests but I don't think I would ever take to cricket. I can barely tolerate watching baseball and I did grow up with that. It's fun to play but boring to watch.

For sure it's important to have some time apart or you'll drive each other bonkers but I think if something is really important to either party, it's important to share it...though RichD seems to prefer a wife who does not golf and it is important for him to play.

For ballet, I used to go with a friend of mine all the time but she move back to Montreal. We would have a subscription. I continued on my own for a while after that but now just go occasionally.

For a while I even qualified for rush tickets but not anymore alas.

I go to my daughters dance recitals because she is my daughter and that is what fathers do ...but i would be hard pressed to go the any other kind of dance recital .

somebody should start a post about how boring it is to date woman who dont have any interest in going to the cricket match or watching it on tv and who only want to go to the ballet and symphony and go have tea an crumpets

Why/What about those things make them so important to you? Can you get that in a different setting which would make the person more receptive? When I was younger and single I enjoyed going to the movies not for the movie but for the snuggle in the dark and Carib's nachos. Now we turn off the lights and snuggle with great nachos at home watching sports which is important to us. Save the money for going out to eat at our 2 favourite steak houses.

Alas, that is too long to fit in the title but I do explain it all in the first post.

I finally learned to like hockey and soccer through my son but I loathe cricket. What's the point of being married if he is going to be off watching cricket and playing golf (for RichD ) and I am going to be off going to church, browsing art galleries and going to classical music recitals. I think having interests that are so dissimilar eventually leads to problems in any marriage as the man eventually meets women who do share their interests.

Xavier, did you ever change baby nappy or bathe baby? My ex did but it took some pressure and a number of arguments.

I did it all, wake up & feed babies, change babies, taking them to doctor, and I also the main cook in the house. I don't loathe the symphony or the ballet as I have gone to both before however will not on a regular basis. I will listen to classically music but not a "heavy diet" of it. It is a give an take...my wife know I am a sports junkie and she is not. She will watch a game or 2 with me during playoffs but that is it...

I think that would be fun go for it....but it's tea and scones not crumpets.
