Show some intelligence when writing someone. Posted: 10/14/2009 12:11:36 AM
The OP started her thread with "Show some intelligence when writing someone." I have no beef with that but shouldn't a personal request begin with "please" as in "Please show some intelligence when writing someone." That is all.

The philosophy of money and public finance Posted: 10/1/2009 7:24:11 PM
"A Day in the Life of Joe Republican.... The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards." Nope, the water is clean because he drove to a country spring that's been there since he was a boy and filled his gallon bottles with the spring water that has flowed since well before tree hugging liberals ever came to be. "With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised." Nope, he takes no medications because he eats only natural food grown by himself and his Amish neighbors. They contain no pesticides nor growth hormones and he is a very healthy man. "All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too." No again, see the above. "He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry." No, wrong again. His breakfast is safe to eat because the bacon came from free range pigs that have never taken meds and the egss are from chickens who have never been penned. The meat packing industry is completely irrelevant. "In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained." This Joe does not partake of any chemical concoctions. "Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air." The air is clean because the local God fearing farmers use only nature's own for fertilizer, they revere all life, even bugs, and horses pulling plows and other implements emit no nitrous oxides. Liberals must be some type of aliens living in a far off land, he doesn't really know because he doesn't watch network TV and has no need for listening to talking heads who have no common sense or knowledge of God's green earth. "He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor." Really? Subway? Oh, you mean the path that the goats and cows use as compared with the main roadway used by horses and buggies. Public transportation? Yes, any neighbor can ride freely with him if s/he is going in the same direction and doesn't mind sitting on the hay bales behind. "Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union." He who does not work shall not eat. Man shall work by the sweat of his brow. God recognizes the union between man and woman and blesses them with abundant offspring to work in the fields and perform household chores. "If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune." What are neighbors for? A barn nor a house can be raised in a day by the local men and all can enjoy a great dinner prepared by the women. Those who till the earth as God intended reap a bountiful harvest and there is no need for university, indeed going beyond junior high school is a waste of time. "Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads." Father and son and grandfather live all on the same land in separate houses built as the need arises with new generations. A family visit is only a short walk away. "His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans." No, financed by the sweat of family and neighbors. There is no need for government intervention in the private dealings of men. "The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification." What is electricity? "His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to." Not so. He lives in the house next door though it may be true that liberals are eating cheese and drinking wine but guess who made it. 'Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."' The only part of this that is correct is that indeed we don't need big government liberals running our lives. And we are all here in the country self made men who believe that they should take care of themselves and with God's blessing they do exactly that. They also take care of God's other creatures protecting them from the liberal's meds, food from pesticides, and in general maintaining nature in its pristine state.

Why do 60 somethings want 50 somethings...and 50's want 30s ?? Posted: 10/1/2009 5:18:08 PM
There are lots of guys out here who take care of themselves too but then we get lambasted because we ride Harleys, drive sports cars, go hunting and fish for monster cat fish. What are we supposed to do? Then there is the subject of sex. We're not supposed to need little pink pills, or are they purple - dang I don't know, have never seen them, but mention we don't use them and all hell breaks loose. We're accused of being horny old men or lame bananas. LOL If we state we are looking for someone who is weight proportionate to height the libbers' lobby stands ready to swat us with the frying pan, never mind that according to the libbers' lobby they shouldn't have to be using a frying pan. Women can blame their out of shape bodies on childbirth, never mind the low birth rate for most groups. Men who have worked hard aren't allowed to blame an overbearing boss and 10 hour days plus Saturdays for the beer belly they have because Sunday is the only day they could actually sit down and have a drink. Nope, they get referred to as pregnant men but cannot blame the body on childbirth. It seems that cougars are OK but any man who looks at any woman who still knows how to walk, wears a skirt above her knees, or God forbid is showing some cleavage and out comes the verbal fry pan. Any wonder men ride Harleys; they don't complain, they don't bite, they don't mind a little dirt and they just get looser with age.

New missing link but still they don't believe in Bigfoot Posted: 10/1/2009 5:02:37 PM
I'm always amazed at how certain scientists can write or rewrite human, or other history on one meager pile of bones. Yet with tons of sightings of Bigfoot all over the world, and scientific evidence (bones in China) that a large ape like creature did once walk the earth they still don't believe. And notice the similarity in appearance between the new missing link and reported sightings of our big footed friend. Unfortunately pictures cannot be posted here so you'll have to check the below URL. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/10/01/oldest.human.skeleton/index.html Oldest human skeleton offers new clues to evolution (CNN) -- The oldest-known hominid skeleton was a 4-foot-tall female who walked upright more than 4 million years ago and offers new clues to how humans may have evolved, scientists say. This sketch shows what a 4 million-year-old hominid, nicknamed Ardi, may have looked like. This sketch shows what a 4 million-year-old hominid, nicknamed Ardi, may have looked like. Scientists believe that the fossilized remains, which were discovered in 1994 in Ethiopia and studied for years by an international team of researchers, support beliefs that humans and chimpanzees evolved separately from a common ancestor. "This is not an ordinary fossil. It's not a chimp. It's not a human. It shows us what we used to be," said project co-director Tim White, a paleontologist at the University of California, Berkeley. Ardipithecus ramidus, nicknamed "Ardi," is a hominid species that lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Aramis, Ethiopia. That makes Ardi more than a million years older than the celebrated Lucy, the partial ape-human skeleton found in Africa in 1974. Ardi's 125-piece skeleton includes the skull, teeth, pelvis, hands and feet bones. Scientists say the data collected from Ardi's bone fragments over the past 17 years push back the story of human evolution further than previously believed. "In fact, what Ardipithecus tells us is that we as humans have been evolving to what we are today for at least 6 million years," C. Owen Lovejoy, an evolutionary biologist at Kent State University and project anatomist, said Thursday. Analysis of Ardi's skeleton reveals that she weighed about 110 pounds, had very long arms and fingers, and possessed an opposable big toe that would have helped her grasp branches while moving through trees. Ardi's brain was believed to be the size of a chimp's, but she also had many human-like features, such as the ability to walk upright on two legs. Her "all-purpose type" teeth indicate that she probably ate a combination of plants, fruits and small mammals, scientists say. "The anatomy behind this behavioral combination is very unexpected and is certain to cause considerable rethinking of not only our evolutionary past, but also that of our living relatives: the great apes," said Alan Walker, professor of biological anthropology at Pennsylvania State University. Many scientists hypothesize that humans took a different evolutionary trajectory from those of chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas. Ardi's findings help challenge earlier beliefs that humans evolved from chimpanzees, their closest genetic relatives, scientists say. Video Watch scientists discuss the importance of Ardi » Researchers are still trying to pinpoint when the two lineages -- chimps and humans -- split from their common ancestor. Digging up the past has not been easy. Scientists stumbled upon the Ardipithecus fossil in 1994 when a graduate student found a single upper molar tooth. The rest of Ardi's fossilized bones, sandwiched between layers of volcanic rock, took three years to be recovered and many more to be analyzed. "In many ways, the discovery of Ardipithecus has been like a marathon," White said. "Ardipithecus ramidus and its prevailing anatomy revolutionize the way most of us understood the earlier part of our evolutionary history," said team member Yohannes Haile-Selassie, paleontologist at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The Ardi findings are the work of 47 paleontologists and geologists representing 10 countries. The results will be published Friday in 11 articles in a special edition of the journal Science. Until now, Australopithecus, nicknamed "Lucy," was the oldest fossil studied by scientists seeking to explain human evolution. Lucy is believed to have lived about 3.2 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia. Many scientists credit Ethiopia with taking the lead in helping the world better understand the origins of humans. "This finding points to a deeper sense of our [humans'] interconnectedness," Samuel Assefa, Ethiopian ambassador to the United States, said Thursday. "We are all Ethiopians at heart." Ardi's skeleton resides in the National Museum of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa

Japanese blood-type theory of personality Posted: 10/1/2009 4:56:58 PM
If you've never lived in Japan - I have extensively - you just probably would not get it but blood types are not all bunk. Getting the wrong type during a transfusion can endanger your life. Blood types do have differences. Try reading the book Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type which was written by an American doctor. You may be surprised.

Question for 50 + guys Posted: 9/28/2009 6:01:17 AM
OP, you say that you do not hear back "for a while." Does this mean that you do hear back again after a while or not at all, a very important distinction. Because if you do hear back eventually perhaps the guy is really busy; especially in this economy there is no playing around on the job and more than a few people are putting in the extra mile in the hope they are not laid off. If you do not hear back at all then as others have stated it's more than likely that they guy did not feel any chemistry for you. However, I see one more concern that has not been mentioned either by you or any of the other replies: distance. How far away do these men live from you? Are you going there, meeting half way or are they coming to you? If the latter then go back to what I said above, perhaps they just do not have the time or cannot afford the added expense. "why does all guys want girls to be barbie dolls at our age?" 1. They are the guys who weren't into cabbage patch dolls and still aren't. 2. For the same reasons that women state on their profiles that they are not interested in pregnant men.

Wow, you have some beautiful pictures, all with a wonderful smile. But then I look at your bio and I cannot find a single coherent sentence that describes you, and you are a psychotherapist?

Why Are Over 45 Men In Love With Motorcycles? Posted: 9/27/2009 3:58:40 AM
I am in almost complete agreement with everything itsathought says. Also, the posters that talk about experience and taking a safety course which I did last year and I've been riding 40 years. I recently had an accident with a deer, see post a few pages back, which I at first walked away from, well limped away. That was just after dusk. I kept my bike upright and brought it to a stop. Most people would have been thrown off or laid the bike down and with 2 cars behind me - experience, riding alone (not in a group with other bikes too close), and keeping distance (from the cars ahead and the ones behind). And obeying the rules - within speed limit, don't panic, don't apply the brakes wrongly, know how to swerve, and keep 2 wheels on the ground. Sure, I may be out for a while but I'm not scared and I will be back out there as soon as the leg heels. As for agsdad this is from his profile: "books birds cooking wine canoeing nature environment roller derby travel fishing " Also he said he's made a trip to Alaska. As a big guy who is 6 foot and appears to be at least 260 pounds why does he think a bike is more dangerous than roller derby, or maybe he's just watching the girls on TV? Canoeing? Damn, that can be extremely dangerous. The last time I was out my dog jumped out of the canoe and nearly turned us over out in the middle of the lake. Both this summer and last summer canoers have died in the river just a few blocks from my house because it has a very swift under current. And Alaska? All those Kodiak, grizzly and polar bears. Being 6 foot won't help you much. You were fishing for salmon? A bear's favorite food. So you are into statistics; why not do a search on the number of salmon anglers and bear attacks. I would be willing to bet that the percentages are worse than those for bikers and accidents. Finally, if you don't like bikes hey, don't get on one. But when you are in that big SUV of yours keep your frickin hands off the cell phone, stop at the line at stop signs and red lights. Look both ways right and left when making turns, don't tail gate bikes because they can stop much more quickly than you can and often slow down using their gears, and give signals before making turns being sure to turn right if you used a right signal and left if left. Oh, you do all of that? Well, good because my experience in 40 years of riding is that most people don't especially SUV drivers. BTW I keep tabs on bike accidents around here and every one in recent memory between a bike and a cage has been the fault of the cage driver - running stop signs, making sudden turns in front of an oncoming bike, rear ending, and using that bloody cell phone. There have also been 2 accidents where cell phone drivers ran over people in cross walks. There were also 2 accidents involving illegal aliens but that's another story.

Owning a bike is not necessarily an expensive hobby; it depends on where you live. I know for a fact that in the U.K. and Japan it is cheaper to ride a bike than drive a car. For one thing there is the parking which is all but non existent for cars and then very expensive. Bikes are also cheaper to insure, and use far less petrol (gasoline). Also for the younger crowd that doesn't yet have a family bikes are just more convenient and of course cheaper. As for accidents and ER yep, stuff happens. I posted about that somewhere else and will not rehash it here but hopefully this weekend I can be back out on the road. I actually walked away, let's say limped away from an accident with one of nature's critters but then I was wearing heavy boots, jacket and helmet. I'm not going to change anything except to wear leather chaps over my jeans and boots. I don't care how they look. For some of us golf, boats or other things just don't do it. Men or women who ride, we're the modern cow pokes and I love my Harley horse though I admit to owning a couple of antique Honda horses too.

Have you ever risked it when the pic just didn't do it for you? Posted: 9/24/2009 4:24:13 AM
"So that everyone knows on September 2, 2009, i was cow kicked in the face by a horse. I lost 2 teeth and right now my mouth is wired shut. The healling is coming along really well. (I lost 12 lbs) I now weigh 88 lbs." OMG I hope you make a speedy recovery; I do know how you feel. About 6 weeks ago I had a similar experience except it was a deer that came out of the woods as I was headed down the road on my bike. It cracked my leg and caused several blood clots and I've pretty much had to lie around and have probably gained half of what you lost. The face still looks the same however and I'm sure no one would want to see my gut and the needle marks from having to inject blood thinner twice a day. And it caused me to walk with a "stuttering gait" for a month or so as someone mentioned on another post. I had to walk down the street a whole week with a full length mirror in front of me trying to get that straight. Any new pictures would not be my true self, just a reflection. LOL Seriously I expect to be out riding again this weekend, deer be damned. I'm just looking for someone to ride shotgun, seriously shotgun.

First things first. " Guys like him end up marrying Asian mail-order brides who become their virtual slaves." Wow, we're not racist are we? So where, when and how did you become the expert on Asians? that should make for even more fascinating reading. As I've posted more than once Asian women are not any more slave than western women are and for the most part they are also not slave to overeating. Perhaps it isn't what you think but looks that attracts men to them. And did you realize that in general the average Asian dwelling is much smaller than western ones with smaller baths having narrower mirrors. If the shoe fits wear it. For the most part this thread has been very entertaining though I'm a little surprised at some of the extreme negativity towards a guy who is actually clean. This is what men have been led to believe that women want. How wonderful that I no longer have to worry about vacuuming, picking up magazines and papers, straightening the furniture, putting away the tools and taking all the car parts out of the sink and bathtub before asking anyone over. Life just got a whole lot easier. LOL

"Look OP...it was a freaking meeting for coffee. If you shave your legs and put on lipstick just for that then I'm sorry. Cause it's just a first meeting--nothing more." Lady, we clash again. This is the kind of thinking that leads men to look elsewhere as in Europe, the former Soviet bloc and the Far East where women taken care of themselves. Think about it - you go to a couple of used car lots. You find the exact same car on both lots except that one has had a detailing and is spotless. The other the dealer has not touched and it looks as dingy as his lot. The prices are the same, as is the mileage and the options. Which are you going to buy? Two houses by the same builder are for sale on the same street. One has been taken care of while the other needs the grass cut, some shrubbery and could use some paint. Guess which one sells for more or in this market sells at all. While we may adopt stray cats at the animal pound women are another story.

Semper fi to Ron. As to the lady in red who says: "my philosopy is: the position the rider is in creates pressure on their Perineum. The prostrate glad in this area. the variable vibratations stimulates this area causing a release of endorphines. A great stress reliever! Ride on Bike Lovers!!" Next time I re-enlist in the Air Force and spend some time in Witchita Falls again, God forbid I'm a cold weather guy - I'll invite you for a ride on my Harley Sporster and you can test your Perineum theory. Personally, other than the wind in the face thing, I think it's got something to do with people who like things like bucking broncos, camel riding, and using rocks for furniture. Ain't nothing pleasurable about the way a Sporster seat pounds the hell out of your ass. But it does go a long way towards weight loss and ensuring any loose fillings will fall out and expose those hidden cavities. LOL

Older fit men shunning older fit women and chasing 25 year olds??? What's with that? Posted: 9/15/2009 10:48:07 PM
"Dont let these guys lead you to believe that the young american girls are chasing them. Most younger females of today are too independent and educated. They dont need a man for his money, unlike their foreign young counterparts -ukraine, russian, asian females....those girls are desperate and will give up their young bodies, and basically their dreams. Its the lesser of the 2 evils I imagine, for some poor foreign girl. The American girl on the other hand will only play with an older man to maybe get her through some tough financial straits. But love him....I guess it they have goals of changing his bed pan while other women her age are enjoying their youth with a man of their own age!" OMG Not Just A Face from Frackville you are just too frackin funny. Younger females too educated. Though your state is next door on the map you must be living on a different planet than me. All I need to do is read a few posts from these younger girls, or should I say try to read since what they are writing in does not appear to be related to English. So you honestly believe that all foreign women are desperate. Have you never seen the cartoon comparing women from Paris, Kentucky to Paris, France? Perhaps we older men have better eye sight. And these ladies from Eastern Europe are not giving up their bodies nor their dreams. If anything it is some of the crowd herein who have given up their bodies, why so many men here look elsewhere. Cows may be sacred in India but...... These ladies are not going after the lesser of 2 evils; they end up with good men who appreciate them and who just happen to live in a country with endless opportunities of which they can avail themselves, a country that is full of amenities that many of the natives have forgotten to be thankful for. Goals of changing bed pans.... I will admit to having a thing for nurses but bed pans are not in my future if I can help it. Perhaps some of the wimps who frequent this place use them. But real men who are not afraid to speak their mind, not afraid of feminists nor PC nazis, no we do not have a place for them though I suppose in a pinch a bed pan could pass (sic) for mixing cement or washing engine parts. Come to think of it you could probably use one in the oven.

"Dude - it sounds like she's being on the up and up with you. She's doing this masters program. 12 hours IS a lot for a masters program so I can't even imagine how she's surviving right now! She's right. She needs to concentrate on school and worry about the relationship later. It sounds like she really digs you. The timing is just bad." I am rather in agreement with Sidewinder but then we're both from Ohio, even the same part, good ole Midwestern common sense. Also you have not mentioned how she is paying for school; is she on a scholarship, has taken out loans, work study, company paying; there are lots of variables here. You have stated that you are working on your bachelor's; are you aware that standards for MA and Ph.D. are higher. Not only must you must maintain a higher GPA but the subject matter, the amount of reading, amount of class participation, research and preparation for thesis is a ton of work and can be quite stressful. Having been there done that I know there are times when you just want to take a huge lunch box, sit in the library stacks, and tune out the world. I did it while I was working full time and my ex never never got it. 12 hours is 1/4 to 1/5 of the typical 45 - 60 hour masters program. Finally, think of the current economic situation we are in; anyone in their right mind who's put a lot of time, study and money into a masters program is going to want to concentrate on one thing - grades. Average just doesn't cut it in this economy. Be patient and wait for the cream of the cream to emerge and perhaps you'll be in line for a taste.

date night - why register if you do not even look at our emails Posted: 9/14/2009 9:12:36 PM
"gain...the OP seems to be operating under the misconception that date night means "I get a date with whoever's available in my area whether she wants to or not" or some mumbling semblance of that. Well it don't work that way! You need to be attracted to, and attractive to, the other person." Sorry, lady but except for your last sentence, you are absolutely wrong. You do not know me so you cannot say with any certainty what I am or how I think. For all you know or don't know I may have started this thread just to get input about the date night thing. I see that you have replied to it more than once have you not. You come off sounding like some of the other women who think every guy is only looking for sex. Unless you have personally been out with every guy on this site than that chain of thought does not hold water. There are many guys here, admittedly many of those older ones such as myself, who for various reasons would not bed any woman even after 2 or 3 dates no matter how beautiful, talented (fill in your own definition) or rich she might be. Morals and standards of conduct are not something that are exclusive to the female gender. Get over it. And I just love all the advice from the experts here, especially ones with names like dingleberry. Damn, makes me laugh so hard I'm shedding tears. Now, if I can only find the toilet paper.

Too funny. My point was why would one put their name up there and then not follow up, i.e they have not looked at the email nor deleted it unless they have their profile set to stealth mode but still you'd think they'd delete it. It also leaves people hanging. How long do you wait for a reply or no reply before making other plans. Perhaps a dual sword approach would be better, ask several at the same time but that is not the way I grew up. I guess I should have posted this on the Over 45 forum. Too bad there isn't a forum for those even older who grew up in different times with different sets of manners.

SO???? Just how modern are you old farts????? LOL Posted: 9/11/2009 7:31:05 PM
I was texting before it was called that, via teletype tape in the military where we also used computers and the Internet before it was called the Internet. BTW I don't ever recall having run into Al Gore and doubt that he invented it. We did graphics before there were graphics by "texting pictures" with certain combinations of letters, keyboard art I guess you could call it. I had my resume on a CD, interactive with graphics before most computers even had CD drives and also programmed kids' learning CDs before Just Grandma and Me was even an idea in its inventor's mind. When I presented the resume to a certain big name university they didn't know what it was. Any wonder I got the job I was applying for. LOL I watch TV in a window on my computer monitor, called picture in picture (PIP) and I've done this for over 10 years, way before it became commercialized. But I write this post on a 5 year old Mac. Macs are like old generals, they never die, just fade away. I'm not into technology just for technology's sake but use it where it's needed. Don't buy one of those mid night TV veggie machines when all you want to do is cut a slice of tomato for a sandwich. I ride a Harley, not an overpowered rice burner; the speed limit is 55 on most back roads not 155 and anyway I rode those monsters enough during the 2 decades I actually lived in rice land. I can tune carburetors with the best of them but part of the reason I bought the Harley is that it's got fuel injection and a drive belt, no carbs to adjust or chains to oil and I can wash my hands with dish soap in the kitchen sink. Why would an old fart want to waste precious hot air and possibly rupture a hemorrhoid and bleed to death. LOL

date night - why register if you do not even look at our emails Posted: 9/11/2009 5:52:22 PM
As far as I know the way the date night feature works is that you contact the persons via POF email once they have posted themselves on the date night list? If it works some other way I would like to know. I see that some users are complaining that they have received no responses but my experience is no reply from the persons contacted; in fact they haven't even looked at the email. What are they expecting? Santa Claus to come down the chimney. Though I'd probably fit most people in my age group would more than likely get stuck as I'm stuck for an explanation on this one. LOL

redfeather14 "you expressed that you're not really into them, and they say fine, go silent as expected, but then a month or 2 later they contact you - like they're thinking you're changing your mind about them after a month of time apart?" Helen0426 "The guys in the first group are hoping that you'll reconsider now that you've surely been on worse dates than they could have been." Surely you jest. Never on your life. I might accept you as a friend but why would I or anyone else want to go out with you if you after being turned down for someone whom you thought was better. Personally, I'd take that as an insult and that friendship I mentioned above you would have to earn. I grew up in the country and learned first hand that you don't stick your hand in a bee's nest twice nor invite a second bite from a copperhead.

Missing Human Touch Posted: 9/5/2009 8:18:07 PM
"And it's not random touch per se that is missed... it's more the caress. Not quite the same with strangers." Am I the only guy here that agrees with that. But random hugs from people I don't know. Meat cleaving massages - no thanks. I get enough bruises from the stuff I do every day. But caresses.......

Penis Enlargment Posted: 9/5/2009 12:05:35 AM
Dude, this site is Plenty Of Fish. Fish are found in streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, seas and oceans. It would behoove a seafaring person to have a craft suitable for the intended body of water. However, I'd suggest that before you launch your boat you first learn how to navigate with it. Nevertheless, if your partner in crime is complaining maybe you should look for a smaller body of water or she should look for a larger boat.

Alcohol and Baby-Boomers Posted: 8/27/2009 8:15:14 PM
"ately, I'm noticing that people in the Baby-Boomer set (45 - 60) tend to consume more drinks on dates than people in the 25 - 45 range. I would have thought that younger people would consume more alcohol, but haven't found that to be the case." Where did you come up with that one? I don't even drink. But if you really think so well I would imagine that most in this age group have bigger "storage tanks" than those in the younger groups. LOL

Controlling guys you haven't even met Posted: 8/27/2009 8:08:02 PM
Secondly I must admit that when I first saw the title of the thread I thought you were talking about "you, or someone else, controlling guys you have not yet met." Go back and re-read it. Thus to a guy you do not speak very clearly; we are after all simple creatures. I think also Landra has made some good points. And the stuff she stated is what I see as part of the controlling person's persona. BTW women do pull this stuff too. I had this very thing happen to me a couple of years ago. A woman got pizzed because I was "still looking" when we'd never even met. That's like a car dealer expecting you to buy a car which you've never seen, let alone driven, one that is not even on their lot yet.

being selective with girls vs being general and indifferent Posted: 8/26/2009 4:06:14 PM
"it appears the more interest and excitement you show the less successful you are in catching the fish" OP, I haven't read your profile so don't know what your skill level is with real fishing. I do know however if I go out in the boat with a couple of other people I usually end up baiting hooks, replacing lines, bobbers, etc. And the fish usually bite on my pole only after I've laid it down to help someone else. In other words don't try too hard. We all have preferences. If you're an out and out Ford person you're just not going to look at Chevies. If you've got a sedan and think you might want a sports model that means you're going to look at Mustangs and probably not Camaros or Challengers (Chrysler) and then there are all those foreign brands. Of course if I get into those on here I'll probably catch a lot of flak. It seems the 2 legged imports are not as readily accepted in some quarters as the 4 wheeled kind are. LMAO

What someone does that really turns you on? Posted: 8/26/2009 3:05:22 PM
Blades? Axes? Picking up socks? Laundry? Fishing? As a guy who is pretty neat, I always do the laundry as soon as there is enough to fill the washer - why waste water, vacuums regularly, loves to fish and grew up in the back country making firewood and toys from sticks I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I get it; I'm going to have to take up weight lifting and cook in the nude. Maybe I'll just ride my Harley in the nude. As for women, a brain, knows how to use language, sharp tongue with sense of humor, well kept long hair with a great smile and is not afraid to be seen in jeans doing the activities that jeans are meant for.

Anyone know anything about vid cam lights? Posted: 8/26/2009 3:17:57 AM
Before wasting money on expensive lights play with the settings. Try night, portrait, sunset or fireworks from among the presets of portrait, sports, night, snow, beach, sunset, spotlight and fireworks. You could also try turning off automatic white balance. But my guess is the fireworks setting is what you want.

As one who is quite adept at plumbing, as well as most other building trades, perhaps most people are not aware but the bath tub, the bathroom sink and yes even the kitchen sink all eventually enter the same drain before leaving your house. As for the comments about those "sausages" what's the beef.

Is casual dating pointless? Posted: 8/24/2009 11:56:57 PM
OP, I'm more than twice as old as you and must agree with the person who said you are way ahead of your years. Let's look at some of the dictionary definitions of casual. 1. happening by chance; fortuitous: a casual meeting. 2. without definite or serious intention; careless or offhand; passing: a casual remark. 3. seeming or tending to be indifferent to what is happening; apathetic; unconcerned: a casual, nonchalant air. 4. appropriate for wear or use on informal occasions; not dressy: casual clothes; casual wear. 5. irregular; occasional: a casual visitor. 6. accidental: a casual mishap. 7. Obsolete. uncertain. We can skip number 4 which relates to dressing but as we can see the rest mean dong something basically without any definite purpose though it might turn out to be fortuitous. As someone noted so might the lottery. Personally, I'm very careful about whom I go out with. That does not mean I send 2 dozen emails. It just means knowing what I am looking for and not wasting time on someone with whom I have not much in common and with whom I am not likely to develop a relationship with. It also means that I don't fit into that group of men whom if you read these forums regularly are only looking to get laid. If that's all I wanted I'd just find a hooker. I'm also not lonely so casual dating is basically a waste of time.

OP you sound confused. Are you sure which twin is your friend and which one you are really asking out. From my experience identical twins can be hard to differentiate. HappyGoLucky I occasionally watch the Comedy Channel. What time are you on? Deborah, nice new pics.
