lutra: *blush* ...maybe not, but sometimes it really feels that way! i have never, NEVER, picked up a woman in a bar! (never!) and i useta hang around w/ the guy who was the lead singer/guitar player of the most popular band in town, and when we chased women in "REAL" life, he beat out my time everywhere! (ironically, unless his band was playin', i don't think i ever saw HIM pick anyone up in a bar, either...)

To Brunette Oakie---It is just like playing poker, You have to take a chance and bet the hand you are holding...Sometimes the pot is full and sometimes someone else has a better hand, in other words" No B*lls, No Blue chips" Rejection is never fun but just think of all the opportunities you are maybe missing.....Dive in Darling, The water is Fine!

momvon, easily said from someone as pretty as you... you'd be amazed how many times i've gotten emails that tell me how fat and ugly i am and that i'm wasting my time, cause no one will ever want me. and yes i know there are people who do that for fun, or to make themselves feel better, but it still hurts.

I'm glad to hear men express appreciation for women who initiate contact. That's comforting and strengthening news. Plenty o' fish has no winks or other site features to to hint toward interest in someone. A higher level of assertiveness is required here by having to send that initial message. I'm happy to share the burden, since good old body language and a come hither stare just don't translate in cyberspace! Thanks guys!

Thanks Brunette oakie, but after checking your profile you have a million dollar smile $$$ and guess what? Looks fade but beauty to me is found in a persons smile and how they treat people I just bet you are someone truly special! Would you believe I look the same except a few pounds heavier than I did in High school and the boys called me " Spider woman" Never did figure that one out but hey...At the last class reunion all those handsome rascals had been invaded by fat, bald and very unhappy men! I sooo laughed and flirted my hinny off, because they couldn't believe how little I had changed.....Danced just like I know what I was doing too! It is all about perspective! Laugh and the world laughs with you....Heck ignore the ignorant ones and have fun just being you!!!Flirt and flirt and then flirt some more! So do not let someone elses negativity make you think less of you! I think you are beautiful and if you think that others will see that confidence as well... FLIRT, have fun and keep writing them fellas, bound to be a smart man out there just waiting for you to find him! Okay that was long winded of me but I meant every word!

Momvon , in reference to your reply about all the hot looking men from Canada, Darn I noticed that also. These Canadian men seem to have it together and have great profiles, not too mention great looks. Makes me want to visit Canada also.
And I would be more than glad to make the first move on one of those guys !

Yep those darn hot Canadian hunks....Just to tease and flirt....Oh Mike you are a cutie but you might as well be in Canada... So far away,lol. Please do not tell me how darn hot it is there....As I shiver in the cold with just Merlin my cat to snuggle up with! Heck I read the profiles and I even reply to ones with no picture if the words move me...I am not all about the eye candy but.... I still turn my head to watch a tight fitting pair of jeans walk by, Probably always will too ; )

Mike I happen to think you are one of the sexiest men on here, not just your looks,but your profile and your entertaining comments in the forums. Now .. is that making the first contact or what ??
And .. just my personal opinion but .. sometimes women do need to be more straightforeward when contacting a man. I have made the first contact and the man usually does not realize I DO mean YOU when I am making a contact.Seems to take the man by surprize that I actually would be interested in him . Men .. show us women more confidence in yourselves.
(That remark was actually for Mike, but it does go for most of the men.)

Hi Brunette Okie,

I am shocked to hear that there are people that would send hateful hurting mail like that! Notice I did not say "Men". A man would not do that. A boy, some child, or some jerk would, but not a man. So please, just ignore garbage like that and consider the source. Trust me Babe, you have a nicer smile then they do. You look good girl!
And don't be shy! You see a guy you want to meet, write him! Go for it!

^^^^^ I was just going to say the same thing!! Hard to believe that people would put someone down like that for showing an 'interest'!!! 'Interest' is the sincerest form of flattery!!!! I sure wish we were allowed to give names...I'd hate to see anyone else contact that jerk and get hurt!!!

From one of the okie clan who has gotten similar haughty email to another, methinks they need an optometrist and a lesson in manners delivered on the business end of a cowboy boot to their posteriors. :::hugs:::

I know it's difficult sometimes, but keep believing in karma and don't let the little Pinocchio ego'd dirtwads rent space in your self-esteem.

__Because I organize local single activities, ladies make first contact with me regularly. Always enjoy it but I never abuse of the situation. They approach me for information on this or that activity but I will always take the time to inquire some info from them to define what they need from me.
__Always a pleasure, the exchange is friendly and at time we do tease one another, all in good fun.
__A few ladies have approached me for more than the above, this was always well received by yours truly. Thank you ladies.

Iwarrior .. what a shame ... I don't meet all your criteria.
But .. as the song says .. four out of five ain't bad .. or is that two out of three ain't bad .. so don't be sad ..

I would welcome a woman who asks me . It would take the pressure off of me . I worry " is she married " . " would she say no "

Must just be the men in Texas that are put off by this. Oh well, their loss.They just don't know what they are passing up.
