As a single guy with standards, how do I turn down married women without offending them?

It's nice to see a man with those standards. Just say NO :)

Be honest with her.  If you think you came on too strong, take her out to a nice dinner and explain yourself.  Tell her you were so eager to get to know her better you let your heart act instead of listening to your head.  Tell her you want to be something more, but you want to take things at a pace that is comfortable for the both of you.  If its meant to be, it'll be.  Give yourself a little credit, at least you are trying to read your woman's heart.  If she's not interested, then you could do better anyway!  Lots of women out there would love to find a man like you!

Ok.. from what Im getting is your meeteing girls then telling them how much u like and appreciate them.. ok dependin on how u show/say this ,and how this sounds to me.. you sound like u are wanting a commitment, and there is a theory that only men are afraid of commitment ...thats not true.. some women are too.. dont come out and say "hey i want to get married!" ( not that u say that but u might as well)  just be normal, get to know her. and if sex isnt in ur 1st date agenda, then theres no reason to "convince" her its not.  just be ur self without all the "persuading" of how u "appreciate" women. cause also when a man goes on about how much he "appreciates" women.. well thats just hey im a lying ass and just want in ur pants. somethings can be taken  differently

You could have let those girls down easy when you turned them down.\n\nTry being cocky and funny.

I don't think that having standards is a bad thing. In fact, I think it's great that you are looking for someone that you can form a meaningful relationship with. However, just because someone doesn't fit every single criteria you have listed here, doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a chance. Some of these things aren't necessarily bad qualities for a woman to have, unless they are doing it to the extreme, for example, the being emotional, and even being a bitch. sometimes, you need both of those. You need to look at the individual, and not just the standards, because often times the one you will love will have a couple things about them that you never would have thought you could have wanted in a partner until they came around.

First of all you have to tell her exactly your situation.  Women don't like men who take them out under false pretenses.  It will put them off you when they find out.  Not necessarily because you are broke (depends on the woman) but because you have kind of lied to them.xx

find a nice boy who is respectful to women and give him a lil attention the ignore him on and off. DO NOT SLEEP WITH HIM THEY WILL NOT WANT YOU AFTER ITS DONE!  play hard to get and respect yourself.

Just try to be yourself. I've found that women like honesty and are not impressed with pick up lines. Most women just want to talk to a genuine guy who is not looking to get laid right away. Stay away from really good looking women. They are messed up. Remeber ths song "If you want to be happy for the rest of your live, never make a pretty woman your wife". Go out to social scenes like hikes, bike trials, etc. The bars are for losers.

Before I found my wife, I was looking for a decent girl, not decent as in average, but decent as in proper.  When I came to an age when I wanted to be serious in relationships, this was the single most important factor in the woman that I wanted.  Of course all of the other common traits had to be met, ie. great personality, common interests, great smile, spiritual, intelligent, wise, resourseful, and whatever else may come to mind.\n\nWhen you find a proper woman, someone who knows etiquite in different situations, all of the other things seem to come together very nicely.  Also, women generally dont learn to act properly if they were not raised as such.  I guess I'm trying to say that very few women can fake it.  This type of woman is more genuine in all other aspects, and if you can connect to someone like this, you have found someone very special.  Besides, these days, this is such an outdated trait that when you find it, you know you've found a gem.

Nice guys tend to be in nice places. You won't catch a brook trout in a storm sewer. Join a church or the Young Democrats or the Young Republicans or the Sierra Club. Volunteer for a work day at Friends of the River. Join a gym. Look for single dads at your kids' activities. Stay clear of bars.\n\nTake it very, very slow. Assuming you are past 35, from the list of problems, you will probably have to settle for someone 10 - 15 years older than you. It is an ugly fact of life that there are about 2 nice women for every nice guy out there, so the guys can pick and choose.\n\nMy wife works in a large medical building with a lot of nurses. We belong to a large church, and I work for a meduim sized-corporation. The lack of reasonable men is astounding. I know just 2 single men I would not hesitate to introduce to anyone. I know a dozen women I wish I could pair up with nice guys.

Try this: \n\n1. Start with your interests/sports and invite her there (say, bowling alleys, swimming pools, etc.)\n2. Carry yourself modestly. Don't overdo it. \n3. A well behaved men sometimes attract women (i think).\n4. Invite her to parties for singles.\n5. Ask her friends what her favorite food is and invite her to YOUR house for dinner.\n6. don't go to the bars (it's risky).\n7. If you are good to one girl , this will be passed around in a jiffy. And you will meet more girls...for you to choose from.\n\nALL THE BEST.

OK I'm not like that but im willing to give you advice anyway just make sure your in the right crowd when its comes to meeting other women and just go up to them and treat them like a friend then if you comfortable telling them then let them know

you are going to have to be straightforward and direct with them. You tell them point blank, this is the woman I have chosen, if you love me then you will have to accept her. Tell them she will be your wife, and you are expecting to see enough respect out of them not to ruin your joy. When they see you will stand beside your wife-to-be at all cost, they will submit. Be sure to guard your lady against their rejection, it will break her heart. Be firm, but gentle, and stand your ground. You obviously are not a child anymore, and should not act/be treated like one. Good luck!

son, your just young and shy. i've been there and lived that. there will come a time in your life where you will look up and say to yourself that if you dont get the courage to ask for something, you're not going to get it. Life is all about getting who and what you want. If you're too scared to run the race, you have no chance of winning. i am now at the point where i'll ask just about any woman out because a) I'd love to go out with them\nand b)if you dont ask, you'll always wonder if life could have been different. \nThe trick is to live life with no regrets and, by asking someone out and her saying 'no'. well how bad is that really? a bit embarrasing at the time, but who cares. she should be flattered that you thought so much of her.\nCool, little bro, and good luck. theres a lot of women out there and quite a few are probably checking you out asking similar questions as you just did. If its like a chick that works at the shops or something, why dont you tell her you think shes' beautiful? as in ' i just wanted to say that i think you are beautiful' I bet she blushes. it ALWAYS works.dont ask her out. just let her know. that'll get her thinking about you and if she's interested. if she is she'll be very friendly to you the next day or so. that and women ALWAYS like being told they're beautiful. not pretty, little bro, beautiful.\nGo for it. I want to hear back from you in ten years saying that you've got 37 children from 28 different women. and you've been divorced 15 times.Lol.\nSmooth sailing brother.

Everyone has their preferences, your not alone. But at some point we've all turned away from them, I'm sure you will as well. I would suggest trying on-line services, andI hope you meet a fine woman.
