Posted: 7/25/2005 3:43:46 AM | | lol...I don't think he was fishing for attention, but more that he has a somewhat narrow perspective due to his locale and his age. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 4:27:53 AM | i was talking on the site here... dont dare tell me there are more women on this dating site then men I'll flat out call you on it.
and I get the whole fox thing..it's not much more clever than my name only on the vulgar side... the foxy reference was to clarify to Idigorose that I was not posting that reply to her as she knows I adore her.. it was a play on words.. and if i was fishing for attention I'd be in word games where I can garner more attention than I could ever need.
know who you are attacking before pulling your gun, country don't mean ignorant neither does age. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 4:40:09 AM | Not that I even like that guy or anything ^^^^, but narrowmindedness is exactly what dismissing someone for their age and their locale IS. When you have no other legs to stand on and you attack a person in this manner it shows your inability to recognize everyones opinion as valid and viable. Because it is different then yours and you can never agree does not make for an arguementative attitude where someone is the winner and someone is the loser. There were generalizations made in reference to gender here that we should all try to avoid. All men and women lie. All men and women want to find love. All men and women have a different way of seeing things. It is not gender specific. How about accepting people for who they are individually, it is likely your hang ups about the opposite sex are what is keeping you from being in a happy and healthy relationship. If you have had bad experiences, accept it and let go so that others do not have to pay for the mistakes of others. Now off my soapbox and onto the word games threads where everyone loves everyone. Everyone play nice.
OH and SK I live in a super populated area and some people have been awful and some really great. It will happen for you girl so don't give up, and get out and have a little fun. Hugs

Posted: 7/25/2005 4:40:51 AM | I don't need sleep.. I need people who one minute are arguing the sore points of being judged by age to not turn around and dismiss me based upon age.
my bad on the clever/joke thing.. either way it's a little degrading to have someone assume I couldn't catch onto such as simple play of words or assume I have a narrow perspective of the world based purely on my location with out even asking if I've been here all my life. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 4:43:57 AM | | Seems to me you are a little sensitive to any comments being made in your direction but are very free with making derogatory remarks about others. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 5:52:07 AM | | Okay again he doesn't need anyone to fight his battles, but allow me to say that if you were judged by him to be a dried up bitter old hag because you are 44 and have had far too much life experience, wouldn't you be sensitive. The point is...you both are entitled to your opinions without the personal attacks taking place. Once that happens, your intelligent opinions are overshadowed by your tongue's lack of self control. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 12:53:55 PM | If you read the whole post, he made comments about sagginess etc that I chose to ignore.
The point here is
country is the same age as my children, we are going to have seriously different viewpoints. He lives in a different country and a rural location where I live in a highly populated one, he lives in the midwest and I live on the Left Coast...we are going to have different viewpoints for all those reasons.
MY stating that his views are different than mine because of his age and his locale were NOT intended to be slurs or slights. It was merely an observation.
btw....thanks for the "dried up old hag" comment. I appreciate it | |

no in real life you are judged on the sag of your breast and the age you "appear" to be.. you just don't notice it as readily as the guys do it in a more discrete fashion. sad but true. and in my opinion age IS a factor for anyone seriously looking for a partner anyhow.
Don't put words in my mouth. This quote of mine, is in no way directed at any one person nor does it say that the affects of gravity are even negative... it woud take an extreme amount of twisting to say otherwise. If you feel this to be derogatory, you may want to stop casting stones from your glass house.
btw I spent half my life in Seattle.. fairly populated and left coast if you ask me. | |

Posted: 7/30/2005 2:53:38 AM | This argument always makes me laugh. There are no statistics to site and unless somebody's had a sex change since they signed up around here nobody can say who has it easier. I only know that there are considerably more men on this site than women.
Who The Fox : I like you, I really do but sometimes you really come off as so damned angry at all men. I don't know if you mean it or not and around here EVERYBODY does it at some point. Just go with the flow. He's probably around here somewhere and if not here then he's somewhere else. Just tone it down a notch or try and vary your posts in the tone you present to men. Maybe defend their point of view if you see something you agree with just to let us know that you don't hate us all. If you're only going to defend the woman's side of an issue that's fine but that's all we're going to see right?
sweetkristine: Without a doubt your handle is no misnomer. You really are as sweet as you claim judging by the posts I've seen. And you have thick skin which is good around here. Keep on posting and he'll come along. | |

Posted: 7/30/2005 8:18:59 AM | I am not angry at men at all. I am not happy with online dating though....and I am not very pleased with the city I live in. If you read my posts, both those things should come through. Right now I have decided that it is pointless to even talk to anyone except in Forums and to just bide my time until I can move out of this shithole. When I see a POV I agree with, I do defend it....god knows I have taken the guy's side about the whining bbws....and the stupidity of high maintenance women and the ridiculous concept of $$ first "dates". I don't look at things as being a "woman's view" or a "man's view", I look at as MY view or not my view.
I personally didn't see anything even remotely resembling an "attack" in this thread.....not until bean jumped into it at any rate. I was stating fact. It is only natural that I am going to have very very different viewpoints about dating than a man who is young enough to be my son and who lives in a completely different country. Enough said. | |

I could identify myself with you. Still though, me being eternal optimist and romantic, no, I do not give up. My motto is: Where is the will there is the way".
Distance cannot be a problem, never was a problem. | |

Posted: 7/30/2005 9:21:24 AM | hey "who_the_fox" don't you know we are always accused of being "angry at all men" when you have an opinion that doesn't agree with the one that thinks they are always right and a women's place is in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant or that you should listen and agree because they said it--LMAO
i've also been accused of it and have been told the same in the last 24 hrs on here as well...i take it as, well hell guess i pissed another one off and laugh....If you state your opinion and they don't agree you're a "B*t*h or hate all men by those types male and female alike......
but hey what do i know i'm just an "ole angry man hating B*t*h, whose opinions should be kept to herself"---
OT: hey i live in a large area and there are not many from this area either...so go figure guess they know of someplace to go to have fun that we've not found.... | |

Posted: 7/30/2005 10:34:24 AM | | ^nah112, that's not what I said and it wasn't meant to apply to you or anybody else but who the fox. Even then, I wasn't accusing her of hating all men, I have read alot of her posts and she tends to stick up for her beliefs. What I was getting at wasn't that she DID hate all men but rather that that was an impression that she may have been giving to many. I have read alot of her posts and like I said, I know that she doesn't practice misandry. I think she's jaded with this site (I guess with her experience with so many of the men around here I don't blame her) and unfortunately it comes through loud and clear sometimes. All I suggested was to see if she would maybe have better success with a more moderate tone when she disagrees with men on any given subject about gender relations. Hey, I didn't say she had no reason to get up in arms sometimes either but those reactions are observed by every man who comes across the post. | |

I love bcb he's a good MAN... proud he lives in my state and proud that he is my friend!
I can't find a man MY AGE in my City I guess I better just crawl to the edge of town and slit my throat eh ? Keepers are a rarity.. most men I date are 30-35 and they have no children ...I don't think it's fair to tie them down (maybe a little)
So yes I'm at that awkward in between age! | |
