...I know I'm one that would rather fish in my own pond but unfortunately all the cute little fishies have somehow managed to elude me for the past three years Must really think about changing the bait.
Even if they cast their lines in distant waters, they tend to be just practicing their *catch & release* technique.
...I have never intentionally cast my line in distant waters... the wind carried it, honest. But in all honesty, there are a few fishes that if I caught, I woud be hesitant to release.

Posted: 7/6/2009 7:52:47 PM | Hey Miss Mae? So nice to see you post darlin! Hope all is well!
OT: As some have said, this sleepy ole London town does indeed have it's cluster of great gals all seeking one thing. Cept dayum, that is so hard to find.
Somehow, I think if I hooked up with a georgous hunk, no matter where he was, I would make the effort....I have never been one to be "narrow minded"! | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 8:06:47 PM | | By my own experience, there are not many women who do not already have all the companionship they want from their pet. And yes, you will often play second fiddle to the pet. I have often got the impression, I was supplemental to the pet....there being a few things I could do well that pets simply would not or could not do. I have learned to zip out of there as fast as the door will open. In nearly all cases, the pet in question is a dog.....seldom a cat, and never a bird or a fish. | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 8:18:06 PM | some people are meant to be alone in life, fulfilling their own destiny ie calling for a higher vocation like religious life, that I understood. Not everyone shares the same vision of marriage, finding the right suitable partner for life has always been a challenge and that will never change, all good and bad points, it is worth the wait and the patience too.
If the universe decides to put the right person in the path of my puddle, all is good. If not, it is still all good... Stop looking... | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 8:25:07 PM | My "pool", although never large, has shrunk to a puddle, to now an eyedropper full.....
It has nothing to do with pool size. .....more like searching for a needle in the haystack. After all, how many do you need? I am only looking to find ONE. And I doubt, the one I am looking for will be hidden away in a big ocean of people. | |

You are a good looking man Mr. Lion. Do not give up hope. She could be anywhere just waiting for you to find her.....remember that surprise is the element of great things! | |

Moonchild48.....I promise to be nice....and easy on this one. Ha Ha.
I can cook you a tasty meal, drive you around, repair things around the house, send you text messages that make you laugh out loud, and tell you things you never heard before. (But unlike a dog......I cannot chase my tail, chew up your favorite shoes, shower you with pet fuzz before you go to work, or bark at your friends.) Which do you prefer? | |

Trust me, I stopped in 2000.
"

Well, my rotties don't chase their tails (don't have much to chase anyway), never chew anything that doesn't belong to them, never shower me with pet fuzz, and they LOVE mt friends.
NOW, when comparing the shower with pet fuzz............I have had many nasty experiences with fuzz faced men who damage my face skin just trying to kiss me........that never happens with my rotties. The rotties don't slobber either.

If you aren't pet friendly, don't date women with pets. | |

In the case of this poster, I doubt that it's her pets that narrow her dating pool. The fact that she plans to go to a 3rd world communist country for 6 months might give most men some reason to pause, though. | |

The point is simple enough, there are women who already get all the companionship they want from their pets. (Why they bother with PoF or any other site is still a complete mystery though.)
"If you aren't pet friendly, don't date women with pets."
You are too late. I figured that out years ago, but not all women bother to mention that dating them also includes their doggie. (You call it "pet friendly". That is funny.) | |

My choice Ren.
More than half of NA men what contact me need to be given boundries, where I have been treated with nothing but gentleness, kindness, and one h*ll of a lot of spirt by the men in Cuba.
Ren.............how many times have you been to Cuba.............do you even know what you are talking about. Millions of Candians go to Cuba yearly. Why because they can. Unlike you who live in a free country(?), but aren't allow (?) to go.
Narrowing your dating pool often means having a closed mind full of fear of the unknown, or just believe everything the spin doctors say. | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 9:06:36 PM | Narrow dating pool? Hmm, think there might be 1 or 2 tadpoles left, but don't quote me on that.

Lion, not all women with pets (namely dogs as you say) are like that. Yes, my dogs offer companionship but they also act as my protectors - comes in handy when you live in the middle of nowhere with few people around but lots of sightings of coyotes, bears and cougars, deer and the occasional moose.
As for companionship, they are dogs my youngest got me. I enjoy having them with me on my daily walks - make is more like a pleasant walk than the "yeah, I've got to exercise" routine. They also let me know if there is a wild/strange animal in the yard.
Do I value them above people? No, they are pets and not meant to replace humans. When I have visitors, the dogs greet them or, if it's their first time at my home, I'll introduce them to the dogs. The dogs go "yeah, someone new" then head to their crates and chill. | |

I seriously doubt it! Canadians have been going to Cuba for decades.
I have a new cousin-in-law who is Cuban. The people there are beautiful, warm and educated. I suggest you go there, Ren, for your next winter holiday to get rid of this phobia you've mentioned times before. | |

No doubt they have plenty of spirt.....ha ha.....especially for Canadian Lefties. (Do you warn them about your rotties?)
"Ren.............how many times have you been to Cuba.............do you even know what you are talking about. Millions of Candians go to Cuba yearly. Why because they can. Unlike you who live in a free country(?), but aren't allow (?) to go."
I think you should go to Cuba. Maybe thaw out some of your frozen parts. In the USA we just go to Florida if we want to see free Cubans, does not cost nearly as much as visiting the workers paradise.
"Narrowing your dating pool often means having a closed mind full of fear of the unknown, or just believe everything the spin doctors say"
Who knows? Maybe you will get lucky. I am sure there are plenty in Cuba who would do almost anything (yuck!) to move to Canada. Sounds like a marriage made in heaven to me. I bet even the old fat broads could find a young hubby that way. I will pass the word around. | |

Another Londoner here! Don't hold your breath Ms. Divine........What I've encountered is that some don't want to leave the comfort of their own pool area. Even if they cast their lines in distant waters, they tend to be just practicing their *catch & release* technique.
As the OP pointed out, attitudes and attributes can be pretty ingrained. And, of course so can lifestyles. Some don't want to leave the comfort of their homes and locale.
Oh, I don't think so. What man could resist the many charms of one of the London lovelies? It's just that most of us are too intimidated to approach them, that makes us keep our distance. :) | |

Check out the friendship catagory.............this site has it, as do others..............hello, here for friends, and have made some wonderful ones.
"I'm brushing up on my Spanish....can I come to Cuba with you? "Los hombres en NorteAmerica son loco!!! "
Absolutely, I would consider it an honour, and a h*ll of a lot of fun too.
25% of the people standing in line to board a plane to Cuba at Toronto International are from the USA..................not all USA citizens think like Ren.
"In the USA we just go to Florida if we want to see free Cubans, does not cost nearly as much as visiting the workers paradise."
No, it cost more to go to Florida. Went there multiple times before going to Cuba and see the better dollar pesos value. In Florida, often the lobster sevred had been in the freezer for 6 months, Cuba everything is totally fresh. Cooks educated in Europe........food to die for, and my Cuban friends are great cooks too.
Please check into Piere Elliot Trudeau and the Cuban connection. Canada/Cuban history is very interesting.
"Maybe you will get lucky. I am sure there are plenty in Cuba who would do almost anything (yuck!) to move to Canada. Sounds like a marriage made in heaven to me. I bet even the old fat broads could find a young hubby that way."
If I had wanted to marry, I would have done it years ago.
ps. I am a size 2 - and muscular. (What size are you?).............he he.
pss. Brownlady, please add me to your fav. list then I can message you.
Note:..................friends is yet another reason to be at pof.

I believe you and I know you are correct. I have met some of them, in fact.
I am sorry that you thought I said "ALL" women with pets. Obviously, that would not be correct. | |

Yes, all is wonderful in the worker's paradise, with an average annual income of less than $1000.
If I had wanted to marry, I would have done it years ago.
ps. I am a size 2 - and muscular. (What size are you?)
6 ft, 174 #, size 34 waist, 32 length, and 42 suit coat. I don't have to "hire" a girlfrined under a bridge in Cuba for $10, but thanks for asking.
In any case, my "dating pool" does not include moonbat leftists , or all the "willing ladies" from 3rd world ccountries, who would do almost anything to move to North America. It doesn't include women who aren't comfortable speaking in English.
I'm holding out for someone "sane" and mostly reasonable, who lives somehwhere in North America. Call me "picky", if you must. LOL | |

Hey, that is impressive.....5'2" and a size 2.....AND muscular.
Obviously, you are not French Canadian. (My ex is 5'6" and a size zero. ) She is not pushing 60, she is now 44.
Since you asked.....I am an inch short of 6' and weight 185#. My jacket is 44R and my pants are a size 34W 31L. My shirt is 16.5 to 17, with 35-36 inch sleeves, and I have green eyes. I like clothes....but Christmas is so far away and you just missed my birthday. Maybe next year. | |
