Reply #69: Some guys do, some guys don't.

I have a friend at work who, like me, is mid 40s and recently single. At my other job I've met a woman I'm interested in, and I was asking his advice, since he's been single longer, about how to approach her and whether signs she was giving me meant she was interested (I'm clueless--I was married most of my life, and never really had to learn the whole dating thing, so I'm always hearing from female friends that I missed an obvious pass or come-on or whatever).

Anyway, I knew within a couple moments that he wasn't helpful. His whole goal and agenda was how I could get her in bed, using trickery or whatever, and he even took the time to brag about ending his dry spell, and showing me a picture of his "trophy," complete with her small child whom he seemed to know nothing about. He couldn't even understand what I meant when I said I wasn't trying to get her in bed, i was trying to figure out if she liked me, if I could go out with her. "Yeah, to get her in bed," was his basic attitude. :(

Guys are all different. Women are all different, too. That's why I hate threads like this one and can't resist posting sarcastic snark in them. :)
