Breaking a Date...By Text Message
Posted:
11/23/2009 1:44:31 PM
If someone cancelled a date with me via a text, there wouldn't be another date.
I think that's the point of the text. They don't want another date. Calling would usually indicate they want to reschedule, IMO.
I don't see what difference it makes. Either way they are saying they don't want to go.

This thread has been a long, long story of you.....waxing, maintenance, ya da, ya da. Enough already. Hope it is effective in finding you the right men to date.
Next........

I'm with you, cher.
It's almost Thanksgiving and Stella is still crowing about her cooter.
Oh well, I learned about rub 'n tug places in Canada and the importance of wanking before dating.

What lessons have you learned from online dating?
Posted:
11/23/2009 12:51:14 PM
-Always check in the background of photos for clues as to what decade it was taken in
if applicable.
-No matter how shallow it may seem at the time, if your gut tells you the person you
are considering meeting is indeed as creepy as they look, listen to it.
-I would have better luck in a biker bar, even though I made it a hard rule to never date
bikers.
-If you meet the creepy person your gut told you not to meet, get out quick and don't
feel bad about it. Creepy is as creepy does.
-Do not allow anyone to get your phone number until you are comfortable with them.
-If you break the creepy rule, make sure you go somewhere you know well. Places with
large, intimidating men (if you are female) are good. The creep will be less inclined to
get extra creepy.

being yoked to an unbeliever.
Personally, I see the OP being the one yoked, but I digress.
OP, I don't see how you can be compatible. You will spend all your time arguing the fossil record, while she will insist you are going to hell. That's really boring and non productive, IMO.

Is it Wrong to call a woman handsome?
Posted:
11/23/2009 12:02:58 PM
Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like, Bea? Don’t cha?
Now that's funny.
Handsome is a word to describe a woman you think is ugly. Bea Arthur, Janet Reno, Hillary Clinton, and yes, Mrs. Olsen from Little house on the Prairie probably fit in that category.
Mr. Remington55 in this thread is an example of handsome in a good way. The women I mentioned are handsome in a bad way. They are simply too intimidating to be called plain old ugly.

met my 1st psycho ( might belong in the humor section)(Long read)
Posted:
11/23/2009 11:42:31 AM
He was trying to relate the humor in it, folks. Stuff about heads in the fridge...um, a joke? The heavy drinking? Um...another joke! Yeah, why is it that on either end of the spectrum you find people utterly incapable of humor: Fundy Christians/Jews/Muslims/hell, Hindus, I imagine can't laugh and neither can fundamentalist atheists. To say nothing of MADD mothers and other Carrie Nation types (for the record, and my detractors: I rarely drink anything stronger than rehydrating fluids
You aren't funny either, Beavis. Had he said something actually funny about psycho nurses and atheists, I would have laughed.
The responses the OP got were pretty tame compared to other threads here. The thread about pee is way funnier, too.
P.S...Like another poster, I too wonder why the door was wedged open.

pee
Posted:
11/22/2009 8:42:56 PM
I'm bored, I'm rifling through threads and I see this. pee. Not Pee, or PEE!, but pee. Not "He PEED in my bed! Is this a red flag?". Just little, unassuming, lower case pee.
For some reason, I found a thread simply entitled pee to be hilarious.
Oh, and no, it's not normal for adult men to be peeing in your bed or anyone else's. I've never had it happen, nor know anyone it happened to.
pee.

You have an image of heads in the refrigerator because she doesn't believe in God?
Huh. I've found most atheists to be grounded in reality. I've also found that most people who keep heads in the refrigerator are neither grounded in reality, nor atheists.
You go out with drunken psycho nurses for the butt cheeks? I'm not sure what was so bad about her other than stealing your keys and saying she's not attracted to you. No, this is not a funny dating story, so skip the humour section, Beavis.

A playful groper
Posted:
11/10/2009 12:36:18 PM
OK. Tell your girlfriend that you will not tolerate this, and she needs to put a stop to it, or you are out, love or not. He's either cuckholding you, or testing to see if you are open to swinging or something like that.
If your gf tells him in no uncertain terms to stop, and he continues, you may feel free to molly whop his ass. Then again, if your gf wants to continue being friends with these people, either take my first advice and break it off, or be prepared to hand the geek your balls.
Maybe your gf doesn't want to rock the boat of a twenty year friendship and takes the groping because she's weak, or maybe she enjoys the attention and reaction, as others have said. It's a creepy situation all around.

Should we HELP others with their profiles here?
Posted:
11/7/2009 11:59:55 AM
I suppose that's my point. If those doing the reviews help take out all these things, haven't we the reviews just changed who these people APPEAR to be?
No, I don't think we the reviewERS have changed who they appear to be. They still be morons, hicks, hillbillies and such.
I noticed on Facebook that my ex, (who is intelligent and well educated) makes frequent errors in grammar and spelling. Had I encountered him through online dating, I probably would have passed him by. That would have been stupid on my part, because he was quite the catch.
I'm going to cut them damn morons, hicks and hillbillies some slack from now on. Well, as long as they don't piss and moan about narcissists, gold diggers, and fat chicks.

49 and never married/no children
Posted:
11/7/2009 10:50:27 AM
interesting how generous the women in this thread are to the childless, never-married 49-year-old woman. a man with that relationship resume gets crucified.
Why? It means he doesn't have alimony, child support, ex wives he has to deal with due to the children, and more free time. It's a bonus.

what do men consider overweight?
Posted:
11/7/2009 7:01:14 AM
My personal trainer and friend looks like she weights 110 but she weighs 130. If you work out and have more muscle than fat you may weigh more than you look.
That is true, but she's an exception. A woman with 130 lbs of densely packed muscle will look quite a bit smaller than a woman who doesn't have much muscle at 130, but those types are usually genetic. It can be acheived, but that takes a lot of time in the gym and much self discipline.
I often wonder about the men who are a good 30-50 lbs overweight who find a body like Jennifer Love Hewitt's to be "fat".
Anyway, most of my "fat" friends are married/in long term relationships. I don't think fat is the issue in finding a partner.

Are professional pictures better?
Posted:
11/6/2009 7:24:43 PM
whatever, I love my photos, they were done by a good friend and are me 100%. I'm artisitic and these represent that side of me. Sure they are minorly touched up, but barely. I told him to keep them as normal as possible. They are me and I love getting them done every so often for fun.
I like your photos, especially the second black and white. Your friend did a much better job than most. You don't have to post a body shot. Plenty of men will look twice and be interested with the shots you have up.

If there's complete anonymity on the internet-- no one knows you, no one can vouch for you, you have no accountability-- should people suspend their disbelief and assume whatever you say is the truth?
If you won't go for showing your ID, what other options are agreeable to you?
Until I decide I want to know someone better, I'm going with complete anonymity on both sides. First or middle name only. If both parties decide to proceed, then more disclosure is needed. But a first date in a public place? There is absolutely no reason to show ID.

I don't give out my phone number. Bypassing the phone is fine.
If your date needs to contact you to cancel or say he/she's running late, that can be still be handled thru e-mail, since most cell phones have internet.

Disgusted yet Not Flattered
Posted:
11/6/2009 12:44:40 PM
LMAO...not trying to get a compliment. Uh huh. And the sun rises in the west too...
I've seen better, but I digress.
Doesn't matter what you wear OP, people will say whatever is on their mind when they contact you. You're getting attention which means mission accomplished (yea I saw the full naked back shot btw), but you're just not getting attention from guys you "want". Get used to it. You could wear a potato sack and still get the same shallow endorsements that you're seeing now.
It's how things work around here. Don't like that kinda attention, I suggest using the "crop" feature in your photo editor and keep things neck up.
Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. If you didn't want the boob commentary, you'd have made sure to not appear quite so provocative and crop accordingly.
Nice try though.
This.
Most of your photos are boobilicious, especially the main one where they are the focal point. When you show boob, you get comments. Ignore the comments, or don't show boob. Showing boob and expecting men to ignore it is like wearing a pentagram to church and expecting the priest and church goers not to notice it. Muy facil.

OK, I suppose the fish aren't really a "red flag". So yeah OP, you aren't off base by being suspicious. If someone tells you who they are, you should believe them.

Posted:
11/4/2009 10:03:43 AM
Because a professional photographer will use lighting and angles to create an "image" shot and then will re-touch the photo to remove imperfections (lines around and under the eyes, skin blemishes, etc).
It's not a "glamour shot" but still isn't showing the real you.
You seem to assume that all professional photographers are the Olan Mills/Glamour Shots type.
Most of the time, your friends take a shot of you with a point and shoot camera, usually with flash, which overexposes to the point that those flaws you speak of are washed out. If they use natural light, it's rarely morning or early evening light which is the best to not only flatter, but to truly represent how a person looks. Harsh daytime lighting makes everyone look bad, as does florescent light.
A good photographer will take candid shots that look like you, not that green tinged web cam and cell phone crap. Proper white balance, light, and focal length are your friends.
P.S. Digital magnifies flaws that aren't so obvious in person.

OMG i LOVE that show!! it's sooooo scary. i guess i have more in common with you than he does, lol.
Right? "A Haunting in Connecticut" was especially good. (Not the movie, though).
Tracey, there's this thing that's all the rage with the kids these days. It's called "negging", wherein a guy insults a girl, either because he's insecure and shy, or he's an ***hole who goes after girls with low self esteem. I think a teen can grow out of it, but a grown ass man? Probably not. Lose his number, and ask him to lose yours.
He's an ***hole. Why wast your time wondering why he's an ***hole?

I don't like "damaged" women. I don't like drama--it's no fun. But, on the other hand, my last honey was a self-contained, postured, well-behaved, domesticated sort whom everything had to be perfect for. There was no passion, no spontaneity, I fell deeply into her routine, and was bored out of my mind.
Maybe she was bored out of her mind, too. Are you really Captain Adventure?

Women at Pubs by Themselves
Posted:
10/25/2009 1:44:50 PM
Maybe I'll give it a try just for experimental purposes. Might be good for me!
Try a wine bar. At the very least the patrons aren't drunk, or at least aren't very drunk. At best, you will be able to enjoy a nice glass of wine and probably have a conversation with someone interesting.
In my experience, I've never been to a neighborhood/sports bar/pub which didn't have it's obnoxious resident drunk. The one who think's it's their duty in life to plop down next to you and regale you with drunken babbling and foul breath. Even the nicer places have them.

would you date a guy who doesn't believe in education-content with his job
Posted:
10/24/2009 11:44:09 AM
I know a person who goes on and on about how she is getting a masters degree, and will automatically make big bucks (false) because of it. She's getting a piece of paper, but is she educated? No, because she cheats her way through. Her only reason for going to University is because she thinks a degree will automatically give her a six figure income, and she thinks it makes her more intelligent and superior to people who don't have a piece of paper.
Did I mention she's cheating her way through?
I know plenty of others, usually poli-sci majors, who work as customer service reps, real estate and insurance agents, because they don't have the drive or intelligence to get into the careers they originally wanted.
I'll take a guy who went to a two year trade or technical school any day. Most of them, in my experience, have good paying, high demand jobs. Jobs they enjoy, I might add.

Adults living at home with Mom and Dad
Posted:
10/24/2009 11:12:12 AM
I never **** at people who are self sufficient. But if my mom needs me to help her out somehow, and it meant she had to move in with me or vice versa, I wouldn't say no because someone who is self sufficient thinks I shouldn't. It wouldn't be permanent, just temporary. What I have said is that so many women think men shouldn't be living with any parents regardless of the situation.
Then do it. If you want to live at home with your parents for whatever length of time, that's your choice. Not wanting to date an adult from 40-50 who is living with his parents is mine.

What we women do for a date..
Posted:
10/23/2009 2:32:07 PM
Put it in your profile or where ever else you want to cry about your poon waxing. The visual for me isn't so pleasant!
I was going to cheat on my diet, but after reading that I decided I just wasn't hungry after all.
OP, you just weren't funny. You were trying to attract attention by being all cool and vagina monologue-ish (gag), and it backfired.
Women going on about their hoo-haws are just as juvenile as men going on about their johnsons.
Now that I know there's a standard of checks and balances, I should be able to order
that lobster with a clear concience. He aint getting any, but he owes me because I paid so much to go out with him.
I put no more effort in going on a date than I do going out with friends.

Adults living at home with Mom and Dad
Posted:
10/23/2009 7:54:35 AM
Alot of Women will always immediately think a guy who is living in his parents place is a loser and mooch. Even if you explain it to her, she will still think you shouldn't be there or that you are lying. It is a stereotype and you can't make those people think otherwise...Sad.
Why is it sad for an adult to not want to date another adult who lives with his/her parents?
Damn "those people" who insist on being independant and making their own way, instead of reverting to their childhood position.
In this horrible, terrible economy, there are still 90% employed persons. Some of the other 10% never were employed, and never wanted to be. Others work under the table. I've been down to my last $40.00, yet I never moved in with my parents. I expect the same from a partner.
The adult children living at their parent's home need to seek out others who also live with their parents, and quit ****ing about how people who are self sufficient refuse to date them.

Answer abstinence or castration. What a azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
If you haven't dated or don't plan on having sex that is just absurd.
I don't care if you are from Africa, Romania, or Miami-Dade county, bringing up HIV and contraception of choice when you don't even know if you want to meet at all is crass.
At least he didn't ask you if you were pre or post op.

Dating someone who`s a Cigarette Smoker and your not.
Posted:
10/18/2009 9:51:59 AM
So you don't want to date smokers and indicate non smoker in your profile. She indicates non smoker. You meet, and she lights up in your face. You lived with a smoker, and don't want to do it again.
She lied to you, probably because the majority of people don't smoke, and she's not had any luck with the smoker's she's met, so decided to widen her net.
If you continue with her, know that she has set the rules. You will be the one making compromises to accomodate her. Sooner or later, the two of you will be in a car and she'll light up. First thing in the morning, you'll wake up to her dragon breath and a stinky veil of smoke.
She lied to you and manipulated you. She'll continue doing so. That's worse than smoking. There are considerate smokers, but she's not one.
What exactly are you questioning? You don't want a smoker, yet she is one. I assume you don't want a liar, either, and she's one of them too. Keep looking. This is not a matter of dealing with a smoker, it's a matter of dealing with a manipulator.

Coupons and Dating
Posted:
10/15/2009 2:16:02 PM
I had a first date involving a coupon. The guy told me when we were deciding where to go that he had a coupon for a nice restaurant. I didn't mind. I had a second date with a different guy with a coupon, and again, he told me about the coupon first. I didn't mind then either.
A third guy who didn't have a coupon was upset when I ordered bread because it was .99 cents extra. He insisted on paying for the meal, but made a scene over the bread so the waiter would take it off the check. No, I didn't see him again.

Cell phones and the first date
Posted:
9/23/2009 4:25:42 PM
If someone can't understand children having access to their parents while the parents are out, I'd say don't date people with kids. It's on everyone's profile, so it should be easy to weed those people out. :)
Really? I've had men change their profile to no kids/does not want kids so I would give them a chance. They just knew I would love their little darlings when I met them.......
I guess I really am old, because I was working at fifteen, and more than capable of taking care of myself so my parents could get a much deserved night or two off. Most kids I knew were, too. These days, not so much.
My co workers spend more time on the phone with their kids every day than they do working. If I called my mother at work for anything less than an emergency, there was hell to pay. She did not play when it came to her job, and rightly so.
No cell phones on the first date. If you can't get through an hour or so without it, I don't see any reason for a repeat performance.

Let me give you the tour...

I found the white carpet to be a red flag, for me anyway. The floor is made to be walked on, and as such gets dirty. It's impossible to keep a white carpet white unless you are completely obsessive about it.
Messes get made, you clean them up. I wouldn't want to ****foot around flooring that is never to get dirty. It's nonsensical, at least if you want to share your life with someone else.
I really dislike going to those restaurants and clubs with bathroom attendants, because they hand you a paper towel, and try to spray you with cheap perfume in exchange for a tip. I've never seen one move from their stool to wipe out the sink, though.
Yes, the fact that he called you that night under the guise of inquiring about your safety to tell you that you not only left hair on his floor, he told you how many hairs you left on the floor was a control tactic. You're lucky you found that out early.

Decoding the Female Language

I would decline an invitation like this.
If I was interested in a woman, I'd want to be alone with her so I could get to know her better.
I would decline this invitation, too. I would prefer to get to know someone a bit before I add their friends to the mix.
As far as I'm concerned, Verity and Abelian in particular are communicating in the clearest manner possible. I'll wager both are smarter than me on an intellectual level, which doesn't bother me at all. Facts are facts, and talking doesn't change them.
I do the chit chat thing at times, in fact I once got a job through idle chit chat. I look at it as a networking opportunity at the least, but if someone doesn't want to waste their time? that's their option.
Flirting is fine. If you like to flirt and signal interest that way, don't be upset of some men don't go for it. Why be so upset that some men have given you their opinion that differs from yours? Learn from it.

I wouldn't pay a 10.00 cover, either. I never go anywhere that has a cover, but there are many choices in my area to go for free.
Doesn't mean he's cheap. How can you get to know someone in a loud club, anyway?

100 Fifteen Minute Dates
Posted:
8/25/2009 6:55:05 PM
I think it's a great idea, but I would spread the dates out over more than two months, and for probably 1/2 hour increments. It really is a numbers game, though. The more you get out, the more you get seen, so if the current date is a no go, there are other chances.
I'm lazy, but I approve of the concept.

Googling Before a Date ?
Posted:
8/25/2009 2:42:25 PM
Tell you what is creepy, are the guys that I avoided because I googled. Married, players, and criminals.
Google away, OP. While you're at it, you can sometimes find even more information on Pipl.com.
To the poster who stated why use Google because their parents didn't have to, and had better marriages, many of them stayed in bad marriages because society used to expect them to, and in our parent's day, it was far more common to marry someone who was known to them, the family, and the community they lived in. In today's society, we meet and interact with far more strangers than our parents ever did.
Any man who gives me his full name is getting Googled.

Women's Favorite/Least Favorite Conversation Topics
Posted:
8/25/2009 7:44:50 AM
Who else finds these just a little bit depressing? I do. I think it is sad (and maybe hypocritical) that women don't seem to have any real intellectual interests. I don't expect politics to be high on the list, but absolute least favorite? Jeez. And I think we all know that "hopes and aspirations" is code for the man's income.
I find it depressing and ignorant to go by these lists. They're about as useful as watching Oprah, or reading The Secret.
BTW, I have found the majority of men I have been meeting lately want to talk mainly about the Miami dolphins, the UM hurricanes, or golf. How scintillating is that?

Would you ever consider being in a relationship with someone who is into BDSM?
Posted:
8/23/2009 11:40:40 AM
As for the stereotyping of BDSM being all about pain and dark, devious, sexual acts, I recommend anyone who thinks along these lines to read:
"When Someone You Love Is Kinky" by Dossie Easton and Catherine A. Liszt
That's a great reccomendation. Dossie and Catherine not only know their subject, they are great writers. The illustrations are cool, too.

Help me here - what to do after meeting a psycho?
Posted:
8/23/2009 11:24:38 AM
Calling her out (though anonymously) in the forums which she will doubtless read was a pretty bad idea, if she is truly a nutbag and obsessed with you.
You may have have just added fuel to the fire.
Next time? Use an alias, meet somewhere you are not known, and never give out your phone number until you feel comfortable. Oh, and take the bus so she can't get your tag number.

Profile pics of the poster hugged up to other people? Kinda Goofy?

I recently met a guy from here for a drink. I was a bit wary of contacting him, because his main photo was a picture of him and a woman showing more boob than she covered.
What the hell, I went. We had a drink, and he suggested going to another place, which turned out to be his neighborhood bar. He was very friendly with the female staff who also showed more boob than they covered.
I guess he likes boobs. Maybe we can assume the women in the photos are representative of the type/look they are aiming for, not just the guy trying to appear desireable because he's posing with a chick. It does help to narrow things down, so it's not always a bad thing.
I don't mind the group photos, as long as you know who is who.

Online dating vs Social groups
Posted:
8/19/2009 9:28:00 AM
The Meetup group that I joined is 90% women/10% men, so odds are better for men. But I would agree that it is the best way to meet a "real" person that you can actually see and talk to.
I thought about going to a POF event in my area, so I looked at photos posted from previous events. It looked like the same 30 or so women to about three men. Maybe that was just one group within the event, but the menfolk seemed pretty sparse overall.

Madame, explain where I accused you of racism. I stated what you said is completely uncalled for, and that it was a cheap shot. You are the one who used the word racist. I used the word race. There's a difference.
Your words, cher. You are upset at your words, not mine. But you're just being honest, of course. That makes it all good.

Huh? Why is that? I have no problem with skin color, I only brought it up because sexism is not very different from racism. It's basing an opinion and expectation on a fact, that has nothing to do with the person and is completely irrational
Race has nothing to do with the topic. There are surely many other examples you could have made, yet you went with race. Cheap shot, Lady.

How do you feel about people being racist and expecting you to be automatically guilty of something because of your skin color? Once they've made it clear, that they expect you to be certain things because of your race, do you still listen to them?
That was completely uncalled for.
Many people troll through the forums force feeding anyone who will listen their point of view. They're not all men. Far from it.
