I'm retired, bald, and overweight. I don't have a problem getting dates and repeat dates with women half my age and sometimes much younger than I am. I live in Las Vegas, and I'm referring to ladies like waitresses, receptionists, show girls, and tourist girls. I'm white, but when it comes to women I'm color blind. I have no trouble getting dates with blacks, whites, or whatever. I may not be an absolute expert, but I do understand a great deal about women.

I grew up in a household of grandmothers, mother, sisters, aunts, and older and younger female cousins. They thought racist and bathroom stories were hilarious. They could take a joke too. There was no father or other males in my youthful years.

Being the only male in my family, I got lots of attention. I was always the cousin who got the extra piece of cake. My wife has passed on. We had three daughters. I have a wonderful relationship with them.. Women bring a great joy into my existence. I can't imagine a life without them. My background gives me an edge on most males, because I understand a great deal of just how women think.

There are some things that a woman will not put up with that can ruin a relationship on the first or second date. Dressing sloppy or dressing too casual on a first date will turn a woman off. A woman takes a lot of effort to look her best, and she expects her date to meet her at least half way. It's rude to be late without a valid excuse and women are turned off by it. Losing your wallet and asking a date to pay for drinks and dinner is a real turn off. Laying your cell phone down on the table and engaging in long telephone conversations when it rings is a good way not to get a second date. Bragging how good you are at your job and what a wonderful guy you happen to be are good ways not get as second date. Bragging about your numerous girl friends will assure you of not getting a second date.

Showing off expensive jewelry and indicating you are very wealthy will not get you very far with a serious woman. Whining and complaining about politics and whatever will not get you very far with a woman either. Complaining to the management about poor service and talking down to serving staff is a good way to kill a relationship before it even gets started. Picking your nose or picking at scabs is an absolute turn off for most women. Even if your dates smokes, lighting up a Cuban stogie or lighting up a pipe is an absolute killer. Telling a woman how sexy she is and that you want to get in bed with her will turn most women off right at the start of a relationship and a good way to assure yourself of no second date. Putting your hands where they are not suppose to be is a killer too. Talking about your health problems or your dietary quirks is a first date killer too.

I've had a close relationship with women all my life, and I fully realize I don't have all the answers. I realize that being old, ugly, and fat will turn most women off upon initial contact. I also know these obstacles can be over come if a women is treated just right when meeting a man for the first time. I don't have a clue of some of the things that go on in a female's mind. It takes another woman to know all these things.
