Where are the single, successful, manly men hiding in this city? I’m tired of showing up somewhere, thinking there are a ton of guys, and then realizing that I’m really just outnumbered by gay men who have no interest in me.
Please, Halifax, tell me where the straight guys are!? —Girl who likes guys that like girls

sweetheart, you can’t get too much more back to the country than yours truly.sounds like we were made for each other. mail me baby, gary_more@hotmail.com, and we’ll have us a hillbilly hoedown sometime. btw, do you like 4 wheeling? i’m serious here.
in the mountains? 🙂
Stop going to Reflections… Or at least stop thinking of it as a pick-up bar.
I was gonna tell her to stop hanging out at Menz Bar or out front of Seadogs. Of course she might also be hanging out at Citadel Hill 🙂
We don’t exist. See, people like affection, respect and sensitivity much more than hateful, judgmental cruelty. The result over recent decades is a natural one; to be expected.
As modern western sexual selection moves further and further toward selecting only for violence, large penises, low intelligence and controllability, the result will be that breeders continue to degrade in intelligence and behavioural sophistication.
The rest of us who are not violent, have average penises and some intelligence and dignity will simply go extinct. (we will not be shared around like some toy for comparisons and a peer-reviewed performance guarantee) But in the meantime, we are not playing that game. Dignity and freedom are very important. Take them away and this is what you get.
I won’t accept “the new deal”. The men I see in most heterosexual couples in public today are so pathetic I can hardly bear to watch it. I almost want to reach out to help them, to free them from their misery and shame. I hate to think how they are treated behind closed doors.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
Amused to Death, Idiocracy, Devolution… call it what you will but the ride is almost over.
So if you are a woman who likes intelligent, averagely endowed, kind, gentle, dignified and free men, then you are going to need a time machine to find a heterosexual one.
oldhand, what the fuck all you talking about? there are plenty of straight guys around, just that most of them are too into themselves. or playing video games or at sporting events, that do nothing for the general populace. real men, are people like myself, who can take care of what they have, hunt to survive in a post nuclear world, and who protect others from harm, in different ways. real men, do not spritz themselves with stinky shit cologne, and deoderents to smell like cheap whores. real men have a natural affinatity towards keeping the species pure and also keeping it going. they also do not effeminate around a room asking people if they are enjoying some douchebag play or party. real men leave. and to those that will come after we are all gone, i pity this fucking world.
You’re trying way too hard – many men can smell desperation a mile away.
The question should be “Where are the single, successful, masculine gay men hiding in this city? I’m tired of showing up somewhere, thinking there are masculine gay guys, and then realizing that I’m really just outnumbered by effeminate gay men with an interest in Lady Gaga.” Bring back the str8-acting gay guys Halifax.
Actually, oldhand has a point. There’s actually a whole group of “pick-up artists” that treat women like absolute shit, and yet manage to get women. Wost part is, they charge money for seminars and books to learn their “secrets”.
Sure Fever, did you see that on a tv show? Would you like to back that bull-shit up?

There ya go, balls. Maybe you can give it a read, and get out of your parent’s basement for an evening.
holy crap…. I hadn’t shaved in a few days and actually called myself a mountain man just 3 days ago…
how bizarre.
we do exist though… we’re just elusive. Oh, and generally don’t go to bars….
bars are for flashy, axe-smelling, collar-popping, player type jokers.
at least most of the skeezy bars here are anyways.
So where does a lady go to find such a man, zZz?? That’s the problem… they’re hiding. Which means they aren’t really interested in developing relationships which means the end of the species as we know – according to oldhand, that is…
We are not hiding.
Most of us are TAKEN.
( many of us have been taken before & are much more cautious now)
zZz is not taken…and he looks like a sexy hairy beast, judging from his photos. i gots me a bear so i’m good to go
“( many of us have been taken before & are much more cautious now)”
AGREED.
we’re out DOING THINGS.
swimming, walking/running in parks, mall, sports, gym, everywhere.
You don’t have to be @ a bar to walk up and talk to someone…..
uh… thanks pg. I keep forgetting I’m not as anonymous as I used to be….
and if it’s a lumberjack you’re looking for… go for a walk in the woods.
Now take that analogy and run with it.
sorry buddy, just trying to be helpful in my rather useless fashion. algonquin park is a great place to meet real bears and well that’s where i found my human bear. heehaw
Now hopefully OP can take your advice zZz… and you’re right More – most are taken, and hopefully happily. I’m lucky have one of those mountain men myself. 🙂
Sounds like a boring story,I’ll wait for the movie. I thought Hitch was good, but the object wasn’t to treat women like shit.
I got me a bear too, PG, I just call him Hub-Unit but he also answers to ‘Crack Me Open a Beer.
As for getting out, I’ve be out of the homestead since 18, and unfortunately, I have to work. You still a bum collecting E.I.?
my bear comes a salivating when there be charring flesh on the grill
mmmmmmmmm charring flesh.
ya, there ya go!
you want mountain men…. carry around some bbq with ya.
you’ll have to beat the guys back with a rotisserie.
or maybe some bacon scented perfume….
They’re in Afghanistan
burning meat Paingirl….you got me there…. roasting chunks of cow meat , shredded swine flesh, my mouths watering just thinking about it !
They don’t really exist in Halifax in numbers big enough to have any sort of choice….that’s part of the reason I moved! Bigger population=more chances and choices!
Make friends with the gay men and their str8 guy friends will include you to the event. Works for me 😉
i am not much of a dead flesh gourmand, but my biped and quadruped buddies enjoy it… the garbanzo bean rocks my world
Triple Z, I’m out and about daily playing basketball or swimming and I don’t go to Reflections or Menz Bar. I prefer live music and comedy. Any more tips? (author of Where are the Mountain men?)
uh… ok, I’m by no means the authoritative source on where burly men congregate..
let’s just clear that up right here and now.
that having been said, pubs with non-blaringly loud music may be a good spot for friday/saturday night… that’s pretty much a given though anyways.
during the week… hmmm….
filter the bus candidates (with filter set on HIGH…. there be crazies about on them buses)
ALWAYS look around for the source when you smell BBQ. there’s bound to be someone around there that may like to chat you up…
I don’t know… the rest I suppose is chance meetings?!?!?
best way to meet people though is to get out and be personable.
Also, go to highly-frequented areas…..
springgarden, waterfront, actual beaches on nice days, etc.
quite obviously, the more people that are there, the more people you may take interest in might be there.
not that I know what the hell I’m talking about in any way….
I agree with Old Hand to a certain extent.
Men like myself (confident, smart, employed, nobody’s fool) give certain types of women a really wide birth, regardless of how physically attractive they are. We can smell a controlling psychopath a mile away. Often they are cleverly disguised as successful, seemingly normal girls.
What’s happened to hetero relationships is they’ve in many cases become lopsided. Its the great unspoken, “we are doing things my way or watch me get all cold, distant and guilt trippy on you mister”.
I’d rather piss rusty nails thank you.
Don’t get me wrong, I like strong women. I just have a problem with the relationships I’m in having an alpha dog. It shouldn’t work like that.
The men you are looking for are out there. In their houses. With their wives and children. Staying away from bars. And yuppie chicks.
this chickie can’t want a MAN bad enough, my ibox is still empty.oh well, just as well,she couldn’t handle the suckster anyway, remember that cool pic i had up there. eat you hearts out.
“maybe some bacon scented perfume….”
That stuff really exists (also in hamburger), or you should try some bacon soap.
Dunno, but there are probably a whole lot of white, single, hetero young guys in Dartmouth, since every nubile young chickie I see over there lately is hanging off the arm of some black guy. Must be the thing to do these days. I figure there are a bunch of young white guys over there just desperate to meet an available caucasian gal.
(Biting on the troll – if it is one)
It has been the thing to do for the last 20 years… ever since about oh I dunno… NWA?
You will find the Caucasian Dartmouth men unresponsive. We are conditioned to fear and hate women.
I just love walking by all these women later in life, I look awesome and well paid, they desperately want me to look at them. They do not exist.
It’s OK though, there’s plenty of money in “raising” children for them, pretty lucrative actually. Single men however are allotted $260 per month welfare that is all – the municipality might as well say go kill yourself, you’re not worth anything, but this cow over here we’ll pay her really well. You property taxes? That is where it all goes. To pay for more of these creatures. It is a vicious circle.
I guess the old several hundred women all screwing the same man routine gets tired after a while does it? Well it’s your bed, now lie in it.
What is particularly pathetic is the wigger phenomenon, the poor misguided Caucasian youths in their desperation for affection and acceptance will completely reject their own culture and pretend to be part of another. Pretty sad. Unfortunately this behaviour is reinforced as it occasionally works.
ps…. there is a difference between looking to meet cool guys (not just to date) and being desperate. If I were desperate, I’d be “with” one of those playa types who pretend to be nice guys yet treat women like shit. And you’re right, LS, I don’t want a man that badly. I did like the car picture, however! Ohh, and Booer, I’m far from a damn yuppie “chick” or an alpha dog and I’m definitely not the type to go looking for married men. People like that are dirty. I’m just sayin’ that it’s tricky for a fun and cool woman who has moved across the country to meet people in a new place.
the offers out there b.t., anytime you’re looking for some quick commpany.i’m safe, and don’t bite hard, or much. just a nibble here and there. and yes, i could be called mountain man, cause of the things i like doing, when i get the time, to do them.
Aw, the mod took off my ‘hairy lasso’ comment – fucking baby feminists (sigh).
your hairy lasso comment is on the other thread, i just read it again…gold baby gold
Fuck, I need to give my ol’ noggin a shot with a cattle prod.
I HAVE THEM ALL.
it’s otay ttfn, i would have been disappointed if our maudey had removed such jocularity
Do you seem to be attracted to skinny dudes who wear their sister’s pants? That could be your problem right there.
ug… mick jagger wannabe’s…
if you look like you’re smuggling grapes…
you’re not a manly man. end of story
