"As for the last part of my most recent post to you, regarding height, you know very well what that was about. Another one of your hurtful remarks about the fact that she was glad that her sons were taller than the rest of the men in her family. So am I glad that my son is taller than his forebearers. There are advantages to being tall. If that were not so, why are you and the rest of the small man brigade pizzing and moaning about being so looked over"


funny how you lump him as part of being the "small man brigade" when you are infact shorter then he is. Why did you even bother going up against silentman? you were clearly outgunned


There are also advantages to being white, there advantages to being a a boy being proud of your kid because they are tall (like they had any choice) is like being proud of your kid because they have light skin. It's a physical trait what is there to be proud of?

I just posted about this same thing in another thread. I'm not concerned about what anybody thinks about me on here, so I wouldn't try to be anything but me. I don't believe that I will find a woman here anyway. I'm not closed to the idea, I just don't have high hopes.
The forums are fun. I would never post advice that I didn't really mean in a heartfelt way. Life is too short for BS.

The idea that someone would sit and calculate what to say in hopes of getting a date...is too stupid. How would you know what to say and what not to say?

In addition, this forum is countrywide, right? So why would I trip about what people on the other side of the country think about me one way or the other? The likelihood of EVER coming into real contact is so slim. POF is a very big pond so people shouldn't worry about such silly things.

If you wanna say something within reason, say it. As long as you're not abusing and hurting others who cares?

I don't hold back on the forums. If a guy sees my profile, and then checks out my posts, and he can't handle what I've posted in the forums, then he's not the right guy for me. I am open and honest about myself. I have nothing to hide and I am not ashamed of things I've posted. I have changed my opinion on some things, and my posts may reflect that sometimes, but for the most part, my posts are mostly me.

However, sometimes we get into a rut and post when we're having a "bad day" and our posts may reflect that too sometimes. I try not to take posts so terribly seriously, if I read posts on a guy's ad that I like. I don't judge a guy by every single post he's put out there but sometimes it does give me a better idea of what he might be like, or his views on things. Just depends.

I just don't see the point of holding back on the forums. Then you're not being the "real you". And that's just pointless to me.

I don't hold back, either. I try to be honest in my responses without bashing. Someone did mention some of my posts were negative. Who? Me? I guess he doesn't get out much because a lot of you guys are lot more brutal than I am. I'm a lightweight.
