Ask

Every guy I go out with only wants to either talk about himself, sports, or how rich they are. How about asking me a question? I am a human being with interests and passions that are just as important as yours are. Then when I bring something up you interrupt with something completely out of context about yourself and how successful you are. I hate being interrupted mid sentence and then talked over loudly. Dating is 50/50 and it just hurts me when guys think they can just dominate a conversation and interrupt me again and again.

Was there drinking involved? I can't get a word in with my boyfriend or my friends when they're drinking.

This is one of the most typical complaints that women have about guys. Regardless of whether you’ve just met them, you work with them, you live with them, whatever.

That is what dating is, multiple tries until it's right.

Do you magically find every piece of clothing fits perfectly the moment you try it on?

Nope, sometimes a nip or tuck makes a shirt better.

Why not use your superior mind or become a cunning linguist and steer the conversation like a race car driver would.

Guru,website,you tube video,matchmaker,etc out there tells guys: "if you want to make a woman like you,just ask her questions and let her talk all she wants"
So,we're just supposed to listen to them,yet keep shut. Yep,sounds about right,as almost every woman I know cannot be quiet for more than 30 seconds

You should be happy they are showing their true colors and what they are. Should make you not confused but ready to run for the hills.

This isn't a guy problem

This is a people problem.

I've been on my own fair share of dates with women who went shut up, only talk about themselves, and steer the conversations back to themselves when I try to shift it to something more inclusive.

One chick even shot me dirty looks every time I tried to talk about something other than her.

My best advice. Would be as follows:
Its definately good to have standards. I do, and as a guy in today's world, having standards severely limits the chances you get, but still, maybe stop paying attention to only the guys who dress in suits and drive fancy cars.

There is lots of good guys out their who have their zhit together, make decent money, but dont drive ferrari's and own their own home and dress in all the latest fashion etc. The guys that had to work hard for what they got but dont quite have everything, they're usually more humble.
