Alternative to Club 54 for us older folk? Posted: 5/11/2009 7:59:02 PM
Try 'On the Curve' which is just beside Square 1 Mall in Mississauga. Mature crowd there for sure. The Chicken Deli off of Mt. Pleasant and Eglinton is another bar you can check out.

Tamil Protesters To Paralyze Toronto Traffic Posted: 5/11/2009 7:41:01 PM
Okay, I had to chime in here. I do NOT agree with ANYONE blocking traffic and using kids as shields etc etc etc ... Blocking the Gardiner Expressway was absolutely ridiculous and the police should have stepped in. However, saying they should be tasered and that if it were another group who did what THEY did WOULD be tasered is ridiculous. Native Canadians blocked off the main road heading into Caledonia for WEEKS, and they weren't tasered. The police stepped in only AFTER things started turning violent. Unions and workers march downtown on Labor day and shut down the city, should they be tasered? Gays and Lesbians block the entire east portion of Downtown for a weekend, should they also be tasered? Yes, I realize there is a difference between a march or parade that is organized and gains legal approval tohold their event versus the Tamil demonstrations. However, all of these events are examples of a vital and integral part of Canada. The right to assemble, meet, speak freely, demonstrate and protest. The Tamil population in Canada MUST be allowed the right to protest. Whether or not the opinion matters to YOU or if you agree with the opinion or group or protest does not matter. I'm not a Tamil or a supporter of their movement, but I do support their right to meet and protest and bring attention to their cause. As for the comment 'the provincial government should gather all the tamils and send them all back to Sri Lanka' is about as ignorant a statement as I have ever read on these forums. You have a right to voice that opinion, I have a right to think it is racist and ignorant. It's wonderful isn't it? Our country was also built on a foundation of tolerance for other cultures. I can just see someone typing something to the effect of 'It's not our problem, don't bring problems from where you are from to our country. We don't care, go away, shut up and stop protesting about things that have nothing to do with Canada.' People protest in Canada because they are free to protest here. They may not be able to protest in their country of origin. They may not have the freedom to speak aloud and show disagreement with the government in charge from their country of origin. Also, some who are protesting might just want to show support for their people back home and feel like this is the best way to do it. All people who protest or picket, or gather or meet do so because they have a common cause but more importantly because Canada protects these as rights for all. I must say, to any of you in the Tamil community, continue to fight your fight. Stay off the roads and don't be idiots about it. Breaking the law, blocking traffic, and ticking the general population off will not forward your cause. It will, in fact, cause the opposite effect as people will resent your cause and show intolerance towards you.

Fishing in Toronto? Posted: 5/10/2009 4:16:19 PM
I don't think the poster was looking for fish to eat, just places he can go fish and catch something. OP, try the mouth of the Rouge River in Scarborough for bullhead and carp. You can also catch Brown trout there as well in the spring of the year. Also, in the fall try the mouths of the Rouge, Credit, Bronte, or Humber Rivers for Salmon. they come close to shore at that time of year. Take a trip to the Toronto Islands for some Largmouth Bass and Northern Pike. In addition, try osme of the reservoirs and small ponds (Grenadiere Pond, Lake Acquitane) for Largemouth bass, Crappie, Sunfish, and carp. There are plenty of opportunities to catch fish in the GTA. Pick up a Perly's Map and see where there are ponds and small lakes and try them out. A lot of hidden gems in the city for fishing. I've been catching Crappie after work for 2 weeks now!!! Sorry can't tell you where but just keep your eyes peeled for waterways and I am sure you can find your own honey holes as well.

Ya know what's funny? We can't laugh at ourselves anymore. Canadians don't have a thick skin at all. I guess it's okay when Ray MErcer goes to the US and makes the average american look stupid by asking questions about Canada, but Billy Bob makes one or two stupid comments and we are up in arms???? C'mon people, I love Canada as much as anyone, but let's stop being so dang touchy.

Not sur eif I am coming to this event. I'm moving into my new place the weekend after which means a lot of packing needs to get done before the move. I also think that the live band thing isn't my deal. I don't do well with live bands. I'll see how things are closer to the event date though.

Proper pictures in profile as a guy? Posted: 4/13/2009 6:43:25 PM
Posting pics of yourself topless isn't a bad thing unless you have the body of an accountant .... pudgy, furry, and pasty. Not a good look men. If you remind people of George Constanza without a shirt on ... keep the shirt ON. If Woody Allen looks buff beside you, then maybe wear a sweater in your picture. If you take your shirt off and remind people of a Bartlett Pear, maybe a gym membership and a few months of exersize before you take a picture. Now, do what you want to do but then don't come whining in here trying to figure out why you haven't had a woman write to you or write back to something you may have sent her.

A touchy subject...who pays? Posted: 4/5/2009 8:42:31 PM
Oh yes, and when people claim they are independant and are looking for someone who is independant, but expect a man to pay for them when they go out on dates regardless of the situation, is, to me hypocritical. That's like saying you like canoeing but your canoe has an outboard engine so you don't have to paddle.

A touchy subject...who pays? Posted: 4/5/2009 8:28:13 PM
Stacie555 said: "under all circumstances, on a date, the man should pay...my only exemption to this rule is being in an ongoing relationship, the girl can pitch in sometimes and pay sometimes... " Miss Allison I don't think you have said that men should pay for a date regardless of anything. I believe the above quote was from Stacie555 and not you. Stacie555's comment is exactly why as a man who has a fairly decent living I am cynical about many women. The man should pay???? Let's take this scenario: Person A meets person B and they are instantly attracted to person B. Person A approaches person b, gets Person B's phone number, calls person B, suggests meeting, makes the plans, picks the place for dinner, sets the time. They go to dinner, have a drink or two. who pays? WITHOUT knowing whether Person A is man or woman, it would be appropriate to think that Person A would pay because they initiated the whole date from start to finish correct? What Stacie555 posted in the above quote and Sweetgirl posted a few posts above ("Hope not. Unfortnately men do expect women to pay sometimes.") seem to be saying is, no matter if they were person A, they would expect the man to pay for the date. Regardless of who initiated the date or who asked whom out. They even go so far as to say or imply that the man should pay for the next date, and the next, and the next .... then you ladies wonder why, maybe just maybe you either can't find a genuine guy to be with or you don't get to go out on more than 3 or 4 dates with the same guy?????? Sweetgirl, when you responded to Moonshine (The guy stated he would pay for every date he would go on) a good guy, did you not think he may have written that after reading the thread thinking tohimself "Hey, I betcha women have read this and if I write on here and look all genuine and crap and tell women I will pay for every date then one of them will eventually swoon to me". Please. Every date? For the next 5 years the guy is going to pay for every date? There are other words to describe guys like that. Even worse, you would let him????? So before anyone accuses me of being cheap or not a gentleman, I have stated before that I don't mind paying for a date in the least. I don't mind offering to pay if a woman asks me out. If I am asked out, I will always take money with me to offer to pay. Miss Allison's issue with a lack of chivalry is valid. I will go pick my date up if we decide to go somewhere together and not meet up at a neutral place. I will have a little gift for her when I meet her. I will open doors for her and give her my jacket if it is cold and she is ill prepared for the weather. However, as stated before, if SHE asks me out, makes the plans, picks the restaurant or wherever we are meeting, the bill comes and is handed to me (The reality is that Wait staff bring the bill to the male 99 percent of the time) she doesn't even make an attempt to say "No, I asked you out I'm going to pay" that'll be a warning flag for me. At least make a feigned effort to offer to pay if YOU ASKED ME OUT. If I asked you out, all bets are off. I pay. I pay happily. I even pay happily if you ask me out and at least not EXPECT me to pay. If I go out with a woman 10 times and the 11th time she buys me a coffee at Timmies or comes and picks me up for a change, shows a touch of effort that she isn't with me because, in part, of what I can buy her, then I will pay her back 10 times over. It shows thoughtfulness for me. Surprise me sometimes.

Is There Any Serious People Out Here Looking To Find Mr./Mrs.Right???...Honestly!!!!! Posted: 3/16/2009 2:34:08 PM
I really think it's a fallacy to think there is a Mr. or Miss Right for everyone or that there is one person out there perfect for me. you know what the odds are of meeting 1 person? What if the right person for me lives in South Africa, or Sweden, or Russia, or Japan?????????? Don't go telling me that fate will bring us together either lmao. I think there are plenty of people who would be a good or great fit with me. Just gotta put yourself out there and meet people and eventually you will find someone who you are compatable with, who makes you feel all giddy in the pants, and that you really enjoy spending time with. It may not happen on this site, but eventually it will happen. If not, then you will settle for someone and live a boring yetnot lonely existence ... hahahahahaha

A touchy subject...who pays? Posted: 3/16/2009 2:27:20 PM
Who ever asks the other out pays. C'mon ladies, if you ask a guy out to dinner and drinks you expect the guy to pay even though you asked???? Having said that, I will OFFER to pay for dinner and buy her a drink or two, but if she sits there and after asking ME out, looks at the bill and pushes it to me, I'll pay but I ain't going out with you again. That, to me, is just bad etiquette. I have no problems paying for a date when I ask the woman out. I even don't have a problem insisting on paying for a date even if she asks me out and takes the bill, even in a feigned attempt to show she will pay. I think offering to pay for the dinner or drinks even if you have been asked out is good etiquette. Sit there and expect it? Nu uh. Not if you asked me out.

Why aRe MORE Black Women Against Interracial RELATIONSHIPS? Posted: 3/6/2009 3:21:06 PM
Once again, peacethx gives out a piece of wisdom to the world that it could have lived without. Racism exists in Toronto and in Canada. We are fooling ourselves if we think it isn't. Tolerance, as someone said earlier, is the ability to look away from something you don't like without acting on your TRUE impulse. Just ask a group of Italian, Greek, Portuguese, Armenian, Turkish, Lebanese, Russian, Irish, Scottish, English, Dutch, Jamaican, Trini, East Indian etc etc etc what they think of Asian drivers ... go ahead ... ask. You'll get the same response from 95% of them. As for interracial relationships, things are changing but slowly. An italian woman who brings a black man home, IF she brings a black man home, will be chastized and ridiculed. Not all, but many will. Same with a Greek man who brings a black woman home. Tell me that is going to be accepted with open arms by the majority of greek parents? As generations grow here in Canada racial acceptance and interacial acceptance will be more prevailant. However currently, it isn't just black women against interracial relationships its people in general. There are many who don't care and will date someone regardless of the color of their skin or religion that they practice but I would bet that there are many, MANY more who would not, who have personal predjudices, and who if push came to shove, wouldn't have an interracial relationship.

GLBT Pride in Ontario Posted: 3/6/2009 3:01:06 PM
Why is that lame? Coming on here and making a statement that someone's opinion is lame especially when on topic is ignorant. I'm Straight. I'm Proud. If gay pride is a celebration of your sexuality, then I want to organize a parade to celebrate MY sexuality and those who also share in the same sexual preferences that I share. What is so wrong or lame about that??? A parade? That's what the gay/lesbian community needs, a whole week of events to show how 'proud' you are to be gay? Be proud, be strong, be expressive, kiss in the open, hold hands do everything straight people do, but don't stand there and tell me that you need a freaking weekend to show your sexuality to the world and to validate it. Is the parade meant to strike out in the face of persecution of gays and lesbians? The majority of people in Canada don't CARE if you are gay or lesbian. There are always going to be people who have problems with it due to religious beliefs or personal predjudice. Those people, for the most part, will NEVER be tolerant of your lifestyle. So why must it be put on such a platform and flaunted? That is my biggest question. Be gay, be openly gay, but why have parades and official days and Coalitions etc? If gay/lesbians wish to celebrate their sexuality, then I want to do the same with my sexuality.

Obama rocks! Posted: 3/6/2009 2:43:13 PM
So we have sbnt detracting from Obama and saying he is backpeddling. He is doing nothing of the sort. 1. His plan to close Gitmo was the first thing he signed when he took office. He's still CLOSING IT!!!! 2. The withdrawl from Iraq is still happening, but will start a few months later. A few months. It hasn't been stopped or reconsidered. The withdrawl is still occurring but after discussing the withdraw with his advisors they realized that such a fast withdrawl would cause Chaos. So they decided to delay it a bit. 3. In his campaign he said that Afghanistan is where the US should concentrate their efforts. He is still going through with this by finding a plan for adding more troops to Afghanistan and removing troops from Iraq. 4. He said the economy needed a stimulous and he has delivered. He signed the deal this week. 5. He asked for the Big 3 Automakers to come up with a contingency plan as to where the money is going. They came back to him, TWICE, and put in their plans. He is not going to release money for the sake of releasing money. All this after LESS THAN 100 DAYS IN OFFICE!!! Are you kidding me??? sbnt says that his own cabinet and party are turning on him. When? Who? Disagreements over policy with his own party? Sure. He isn't partisan with his politics so staunch liberals are going to be critical of him, but for the most part the peace and tranquility in the house and senate is astonishing. McCain and other Conservative leaders feel that Obama is spending too much money to save the economy now and leaving the ramifications for later generations. This is such a load of crap!!! It was the policies of the GOP that led the US into this crisis in the FIRST PLACE!!! McCain during the campaign was all for economic stimulus so for him or any other GOP member to say they didn't want the stimulous package to happen is an outright lie. This fix is going to take a long time. The debt is eventually going to have to be dealt with. The big three automakers and the continent in general have to find a way to move away fromt heir dependance on fossil fuels. The environment is as big an issue for this administration as is the economic crisis and they recognize it. Are things going to be perfect? No. However, this man and his administration have done more in the first days of his presidency than the last President did in his full 8 YEARS.

canadian men and dating Posted: 3/5/2009 5:21:38 PM
Shy? Maybe many of the men you want to approach you AREN'T INTERESTED!!!! Ever think of that???? Sheesh. There are plenty of Canadian guys who have confidence to strike up conversations, who are non-latino, but who may have discerning tastes and likes about the person they strike up a conversation with!!! I love how Canadian men are flogged as being shy and worried about what other people think. Here's the deal. There are many confident men out there who are not married. There are a lot of guys out there who approach women all the time and ask them out on dates. Could it be something about you that makes a man not approach you???? Hmmmmmmmm???? Is it possible that maaayyyyybe, just mayyyyyyybe you put yourself out there as being unapproachable??? Have you looked at yourself and your behavior to figure out why the heck men don't approach you????? Of course not. Every man in Canada is shy or doesn't know what they want and you have no faults for why you are not being approached. Pullease.

~~Go Leafs Go~~ 2008/2009 Season Posted: 3/5/2009 5:13:59 PM
Pogge has had 3 years in the minors to hone his game. Burke went out and signed Gerber off waivers after Toskala was shut down for the season. What better time than now to put Pogge in and let him 'grow' into the position for next year? If he is a slwo starter at each new level, give him the rest of the year to get used to the NHL. Instead, Burke brings in Gerber to start for the rest of the year. That should speak volumes about where they feel Pogge is.

~~Go Leafs Go~~ 2008/2009 Season Posted: 3/4/2009 8:02:42 PM
You arewn't deep in Goalie now. Kolzig and Gerber are unrestricted Free Agents at the end of the season. Kolzig won't play a minute in Toronto as he is injured for the rest of the season. Gerber is a stop gap until the end of the year because Toskala is done for the season. Makes you wonder what Pogge is going to do if they picked Gerber up to start the rest of the way. Why not Pogge? Easy. Pogge isn't a number 1 netminder. Another wasted draft pick. Burke traded who he could and got back what he could. Leaf fans tend to over value the players on this team. 2nd round picks for Moore and andropov is pretty good. The only 2 guys that had any value were Kaberle and Schenn. Schenn isn't going anywher and Kaberle was injured last night, scared a few teams off him.

Have pride in who you are. Must you have pride in your sexual preference? I think we should hold a Straight Pride Parade to celebrate our straightness!!! Be gay, or bisexual, or transgender and be happy but why must we have a day to celebrate it? Persecution? Parading down the streets of the city naked doesn't help defeat persecution. I know I know, Dante you closed minded sloth you. You Neanderthal. If you wish to be openly gay thats great I just don't get the whole celebration angle. Help with awareness of what? That there are people who are gay in Canada? We need to be aware of this???

As abhorrant as****ighting is and disgusting a practice it may be, it is accepted practice in a lot of cultures around the world. Now, don't start saying things like 'If you are in Canada you have to live by our rules or go home.' I'm not condoning it but I am making the point that to some cultures there is nothing wrong with it. Bullfighting is considered a national past time in Spain, even though they stab and eventually let the bull bleed to death. Is that any less barbaric a practice? You can control animal registry's, you can shut down operations like this and the government should do what they can to find these types of operations. However, they are going to exist in the deepest and darkest recesses of society. Just like dog fighting will continue. There are some people who enjoy this type of violence and will do what they can to continue it. All the government and police can do is try to control it and deter those from wanting to open these kinds of rings.

Tough Times = Tough Measures Posted: 2/27/2009 4:15:37 PM
I agree with you Vain. If your circumstances are stable and there is no impending doom to your financial income then why change a whole lot just because things are tough for people around you? Those who do have stable jobs and incomes should actually help stimulate the economy by spending as normal, not cutting back. I'm not looking to cut back on my spending. I've learnt how to budget my money properly and don't have any ridiculous expenses and I am fortunate to be in a position that affords me the ability to buy the foods I want, eat out, enjoy going to bars for drinks every so often, and enjoy the hobbies I like. I'm not going to stop living my life if I know I am going to be alright financially.

unsure where to post this Posted: 2/22/2009 3:02:28 PM
It goes against forum rules for anyone to post derogatory and inflammatory comments in the forums regarding specific POF members. So even if there was a post, it's long gone by now. If a guy writes to you and says he read you were a player, then maybe you should be wondering why bother writing back to the guy anyways? The guy seems to have some trust issus.

Toronto's other team the raptors Posted: 2/19/2009 3:21:14 PM
I love the Raptors more than the Leafs. I know, that's sacreligious to say around here but it's true. Disappointed in this team is an understatement. Jay Triano is NOT an NBA caliber Head Coach, Jose Calderon (hate to say this) is NOT a #1 Point Guard, in my opinion. He cannot cover top point guards 1 on 1. They have no back up at the point, and their wing players are underperforming. Parker hasn't shot the ball well and Moon, until he was traded, was a waste of a jersey. Kapono for whatever reason doesn't SHOOT THE DANG BALL. Bargnani has been improving, Bosh is Bosh, and Joey Graham has actually looked like a solid pro off the bench, so it isn't all bad. Marion will give them a strong wing player who can slash to the basket and can rebound. The team needs direction, a point guard, and a shooting guard.

Oshawa Valentine's Celebration - Feb. 14/09 @ The Groove Lounge Posted: 2/19/2009 3:13:05 PM
Ai'ght, So Valentines night I was doing nothing in particular and had decided to bury myself in my apartment for the night. Welp, by around 8:30pm I was bored out of my tree, so I drove to my folks in Scarborough. They weren't home. Da#M them having a life!!! So, what to do. Oh h.e.double hockey sticks no I can't go there. No freaking way. Oshawa? For, of all things, a POF party? No nononono ... So I get there at around 10:30pm hahahahaha, walk in and at first don't recognize anyone. I stroll around, buy myself a drink, take off my coat and feel completely out of place (WAIT, this IS NOT A BASH POST, so DON'T jump to conclusions, read on)!!! Oy, this may not have been a very good idea I thought to myself. Then, while walking back to the bar, out pops in front of me a friend I hadn't seen in a couple of years. I was hesitant at first, seeing as I disappeared from the world for two years, but as soon as she saw me she greeted me with a smile and a hug!!! Okay, so that wasn't so bad. Then, this same person introduced me to a few of her friends and reacquainted me with others I knew before but had lost touch with. I started to loosen up a bit and then, god bless her soul, she dragged me onto the dance floor. There I spent the better part of the rest of the night, dancing like crazy, having a blast, laughing, smiling, and really enjoying myself. By the end of the night I was in a completely wonderful frame of mind and was extremely happy I came out to your event. Thank you to the hosts for a well organized party, to the DJ for spinning some pretty darned good music, to those of you I met for the first time and for a second or third time thank you for making me feel welcome and at least tolerating me hanging around all night, and finally thank you to that one particular friend who made my drive out worth it. You ARE the bomb!!! Will I be back? Possibly, depending on the weather

NSA - How do you define it? Posted: 2/15/2009 1:42:34 PM
It's abotu getting L**d. Has nothing to do with FWB, although that is a possibility. No Strings Attached means let's meet, FVCK or play around sexually, and then you go your way and I'll go mine and we don't ever have to talk to one another again ... I think my hand wants a NSA relationsh ... Oh never mind....

Dating Widows/Widowers... Posted: 2/15/2009 1:34:59 PM
I would date a widow. I'm dating the person and if I like them, they like me, we are attracted to one another, and we communicate well and want to get to know one another then sure I would date a widow. After reading your last post I don't think the issue is whether you should be dating a Widower, I think the issue is your own ability to trust men in general. The 5 months after the wifes death thing is really quick that is for sure. A couple of questions, and please think about this and reply to yourself honestly: Are you using the Widower angle as surface dressing for a deeper trust issue with all men? If he wasn't a widower would you have still had trust issues with dating him?

Dating sites more work than in public social settings Posted: 2/15/2009 1:19:18 PM
14 days? Why have such stringent rules? If it feels right to meet a day or two after exchanging emails why wait? Y'all are making this to be more difficult than it is. Angel-devil I have some idea why you haven't been messaged very much. There are many men who are intimidated by a confident woman who is attractive. Might not necessarily be a bad thing that you are not getting emailed a ton, to be honest with you lol. It's possible your profile is naturally weeding out the slugs on the site that you probably don't want emails from anyhow. Unfortunately, some nice guys who you may actually at least like to be-friend might also be intimidated, and from looking at your profile, wishy washy spineless guys need not apply either. So it's tough meeting someone on this site. Gee ya think? Its an ONLINE WEBSITE FFS!!!! Other websites are the same. Meeting people in person may be easier for most of us (me included) for a number of reasons: 1. Profiles don't give a true account of ones personality. There is no tone or flexion or expression to the words typed on your profile, no matter how creative you are at typing them. There is huge gap. 2. Pictures rarely do anyone justice and let's be honest, most of us don't even bother emailing people who don't have pictures on their profiles. 3. For whatever reason, both sexes are much more picky ove the internet than they are in person. What I mean is, when you read someones profile, you normally don't get an emotional reaction from it. You may laugh, or shake your head in dismay, but there really isn't an emotion. It's almost like looking through a catalogue. You COGNICANTLY process information you read, you RATIONALIZE what it is you read, and you LOGICALLY deduce whether or not the person is a potential match. Notice what is missing in all of this? 4. Dating websites are missing the HUMAN aspect of the whole meeting people thing. I also think that we become more choosy when emailing or responding to someone who emails you on this site. You are more set in your expectation of who it is that is contacting you and it's easier to brush someone off over a computer when there hasn't been any real personal contact made. That's the thing. Go somewhere and talk to someone face to face and see if it is as easy to just walk away or brush them off as it is on here? Nope, it isn't. Online dating sites are not easy. They do work for many, but they don't work for everyone. All you can do is keep getting your name and face out there, keep emailing, maybe go to an event or two that may interest you that is in the area, and keep it all in perspective.

Makeovers for men. Posted: 2/15/2009 12:59:26 PM
a. lip protector like Carmex, makes your lips more appealing b. sunscreen. No woman wants to sleep with an alligator. In order to avoid alligator skin, use a good sunscreen. SPF 15 is about right c. fake and bake self tanners..Vichy makes a good one d. exfoliate twice a week, if you dont know the brands..start with Elizabeth Ardens Intervene 3 in 1..its a combo cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer.... For the adventurous man; d. Some brown mascara, gives you that Rudy Valentina bedroom look e. under eye concealer,...those deep dark pits will vanish with a good concealer, also a good way to cover razor burn, ingrown hairs... You have got to be kidding! If that's what floats your boat, go for it. Isn't fashionable another word for gay? ( Not that there is anything wrong with that) I'll pass on all the girly stuff, live with the alligator skin and rather than track pants, I'll wear jeans with a jac shirt and vest. Aigh't I have to chime in now. Being fashionable has nothing to do with being GAY. Wearing fashionable or classic clothing (basically dressing sharp), smelling good, and being somewhat current in your 'look' ain't just for gay men. Waxing? Might not be for you, but if a guy is like a grizzly from head to toe believe me, most women appreciate it if he rid himself of that unsightly back or neck or shoulder hair!!! Mullets? Telling me THEY still look good? Some of the stuff written above (exfoliating, make up, lip gloss) is just wrong. That is pushing it past a certain line. Men do not wear make up, unless smeared on them accidently by a woman lips. The fake and bake? C'mon now, that's a little Metro isn't it? Okay a lot. So in that sense I agree with you. However, there is also nothing wrong at all with a guy who wears nice clothes. Depends on the situation too. Don't go to a Monster Truck Rally in a dress shirt, dress pants, and dress shoes. Don't go to a nice restaurant in a ratty T-Shirt, track pants/or well worn jeans, and runners or freaking birkenstocks. As for the guy who said the girl he met doesn't mind him wearing sandles with black socks? Dude, whatever you do keep her. She is a keeper. I can't see me ever date a woman who wears birkenstocks or crocs with thick wool or colored or ANY socks!!! That freaknig drives me nuts actually. There is nothing wrong with us guys putting in a BIT of effort to look and smell nice, but let's also remember that MEN are MEN and we aren't changing that fact any time soon.

is ontario's economic downturn effecting dating Posted: 2/6/2009 4:25:07 PM
it does affect it a lot but I think a person who is creative can set up dates and have wonderful times without spending a lot of money. It's not easy to do but it can happen. I think of it this way: I enjoy doing nice things for the person I am dating. I like going to nice places and restaurants or clubs or art galleries. However, if it is EXPECTED that is the sort of thing we are going to do, or if I suggest something more low key but fun and she refuses, that tells me all I need to know.

Are you a 'Giver' or a 'Taker'? Posted: 2/6/2009 4:23:01 PM
I'm both. I give a lot of my heart and self when in a relationship. I do so willingly, but I have learned to not do it blindly. Basically, I expect to get some of what I give back from the woman I am with. I'm not talking financial stuff or gifts or anything like that. I'm talking about giving of their time, heart, feelings, and friendship. Yup, I expect the person who I am in a relationship with to actually be friends with me lol. I also expect it to be done naturally. I shouldn't have to ask for a woman to be there for me if I need her or be there with me when she wants to be or be there with me when I want her to be there. It goes both ways really. Otherwise resentment builds and then my temper rises and I end up pulling away from the person.
