What is the best way to handle it if a date passes gas? Posted: 11/21/2009 2:14:46 PM
Well first I would consider the loudness and then the smell, which could indicate the nature of her diet as well as the strength of her abdominal muscles... And then I would assimilate her look of shame or lack there of... Maybe we can laugh/ waive it off...

Question about Dating; at what point is it a serious relationship? Posted: 11/21/2009 2:02:27 PM
Well about the whole intimate before dating thing; those were fast times... Boy do I miss 'em! lol... No not really...But seriously, that was in my late teens and early twenties when I would meet a girl while hangin' out riding with friends or get introduced to her through a friend... and then I would pick her up and we'd hang out all night just cruising and get comfortable really fast and find that popular hideaway spot; ya know, "lover's lane"? lol... But I guess you could call those first meetings a date, but we definitely didn't go bowling or out to eat... that came after we became closer. It seemed at that time a serious relationship was clearly stated in a late night phone conversation ( usually when we were very sleepy and incoherent ) after the question "are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" was asked. And if we both agreed that it was a yes, then it was on from there.

Is the number of acceptable places to approach women offline shrinking? Posted: 11/21/2009 1:48:29 AM
My guess is it would have to be the number of spontaneous people that could be shrinking. Some people are spontaneous, go with the moment types and those could probably be approached anywhere... and others are focused on one thing at a time; groceries, new shoes, cell phone upgrade; here for one purpose types who are most likely approachable only when they've planned to be... those I would think tend to be confined to online dating, or activities that are specifically designed for meeting people.

I sneeze you say Bless you. Posted: 11/18/2009 9:28:09 PM
Interesting how things are changing... back in elementary school when someone sneezed, what did the classmates/ teachers say? In my experience it was bless you... or Gesundheit if your teacher was a ham! lol What does one do in a one on one conversation when someone sneezes? Silently give them a few seconds to get their ish together? lol... I think there is something really intimate and special about sharing a sneeze with someone... as it often discombobulates the victim momentarily and causes others within earshot to fear the spreading of a bug.

I once dreampt that I was the kid from "Silver Spoons" with an arcade in my house and my own go-cart version of Smokey and The Bandit's "fire bird"... Then I woke up and came back to the reality of my "speak and math" and broken electric racetrack... I'm such a dreamer... lol

pariah03.Thank you for your post. I agree there are more important issues, but I also think most of those issues start with people, their personalities, and where they are from. And I will make it a point to stay far from Waller and New Caney, Tx, thanks for the heads up.

Where is your personality from? tv land? Posted: 11/17/2009 8:52:49 PM
Is it from where you were born and graduated high school or college? Is it from where you live now or who you hang around or did you get it from tv? When out and about do you get good or bad responses from the people you meet regarding your personality? Are you typical of your hometown or current surroundings or more or less an "individual"? I ask these questions to find out where others call home and what others would say about their personalities and how they developed for better or worse; how it has impacted their life. I personally am never quite sure what to say when asked where I am from and why I am so different. I don't have a hometown per se; I was born in Alaska but left there when I was 3 and moved around alot; graduated from high school in Tennesse and now live in NY; but upon meeting me one would never guess my origins... My first 15 years were spent growing up on an army base which kept me sheltered from the social/ political "free will" of civilian life. I went to church, school, played in the park with my friends and watched ALOT of television while growing up and alot of what I learned about personality came from tv. News people and sitcoms taughtnd me how to behave serious or silly... Those late night movies on cinamax taught me how to be intimate... Most of what I learned from my parents, being a military couple was respect ( yes sir, yes ma'am) clean up, wake up early, go to school and make good grades. I guess this all reflects in my personality where some people have thought me to be lame ( what you talking 'bout Willis? lol)...boring and overly concerned with trivialities ( see my post )... a nice guy ( too nice )... and also very friendly:) I guess what I am driving at is that as I get older and wiser and deal with relationships I often wonder how did I become the me that I am today and where did I get it from. Why do I care? I guess career/ goal stagnation and a desire for self improvement has brought me to this point of self reflection as well. So I am just curious to see where others are from and where they get their personality Anyone care to share?

personality matches Posted: 10/16/2009 6:38:32 PM
Was just wondering if anyone on here pays any attention to personality matches, or does everyone just look at a pic., and the move on? you know there is someonthing just as important as looks! looks will fade! Come on people wake up and think about it! All of this may but true, and very "pc" but from my own personal experience most people will not even begin a conversation with someone they find to be unattractive or an outcast. I think we would all be in for a surprise if we knew who we were truly compatable with, but most would wrather not go there...

Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/9/2009 9:05:05 AM
Do we get weirder the longer we are single? From a person who has been called weird before I can say... No, single doesn't necessarily equal weirdo... My exes thought I was strange... while I was with them. My friends thought I was strange and made fun of me and my choices regularly... Some of us are just naturally considered weird because we unintentionally march to the beat of our own drum; ie. have our own way of looking at things that may be unpopular in the dating world... Though we could possibly prolong our singledom by refusing to make an effort to fit in with the social norms that everyone else is following. Unfortunately people still put much stock into being "hip" and I always thought that was just a high school thing.

Is it a good idea for a couple to tell each other how much money they make? Posted: 9/27/2009 9:05:37 PM
Good question... I say no, not unless the couple has decided to invest in a joint venture like owning a house or business or share a bank account but then I still see no reason to divulge exact details of salary as the lenders would determine if you make enough to receive a loan or afford a mortgage.

I Want Someone Like ME- is it too much to ask? Posted: 9/24/2009 8:06:53 PM
Some might argue that one's interests and hobbies and aspirations can be a huge clue to one's being intellectually and emotionally compatible. How DO you define those, then, if not by what they DO or FEEL? The challenge is, how many are honest about what there true interest and hobbies are? I once had a great 2 yr relationship with a woman who shared my favorite interest... lounging, lovin', eating and world affairs... Met her thru a friend. Do you think if I had met her on a dating site, she would have put loungin', lovin' and eating as her interest? I don't think so... It would've been family, reading, traveling, poetry, working out... Typical no? I would probably have skimmed on to the next and missed out on two years of blissful compatability:)

Why are guys afraid to ask women out? Posted: 9/19/2009 9:45:07 PM
You guys who are afraid of rejection, ask yourselves what really bothers you, is it: The actual rejection by a woman whom you have gotten along without so far? The worry that if you ask a woman with whom you are friends or acquaintance, and she turns you down, it will forever change the relationship between you for the worse? The possibility of being turned down and looking foolish in front of other people? Is your fear of "rejection" actually the fear of some other kind of social awkwardness? If it is, you might be able to work around that fear in some way if you can recognize it for what it really is. Contrary to popular belief, most go guys do not approach just any woman that looks good... most of us approach the ones that we personally find attractive regardless of what our friends think of her... So in a sense we have bonded with her physically, her appearance, her mannerisms, how she behaves around her friends and acquaintances, her smile...ect... by the time we approach her, we have decided that we want her for everything that she appears to be... and if she turns us down, then we have just been informed by the very one who gave us an undescribabley wonderful ( albeit mushy feeling ) that she is off limits to us; cannot have her and never will... So to have that happen 14 times and not be deeply affected? He would have to have not been truly attracted to any of those woman.

Where to meet people that are datable over 30? Posted: 9/16/2009 12:57:18 AM
Let's face it---a single guy in his 30s who's never been married, has no kids, who is educated and cultured, has a thriving career, is very physically attractive and has all the inner qualities that you admire...is probably gay! Not true at all, most I know, are just really picky and very respectful of the institution of marriage and therefore we didn't allow ourselves to get serious with someone unless we felt she was the right one... the mistakes we made were having fwb's and on again off again relationships in between time to at least enjoy a physical connection which actually just served to leave both parties emotionally scarred when the other moved on. But seriuosly I think this is why some woman are against dating a so-called mamas boy as their standards are usually much higher. I think most of us who have managed to stay single are mold smashers and original thinkers.

leslieannec , I definitely understand your desire to be with who you are attracted to and it's my hope that we can all get as close as we can to finding a perfect mate for ourselves... On topic though, myself and other guys I speak to who are in there early to mid 30's are all good honest guys just looking for a nice girl, most would be happy to settle for a less than perfect woman, as long as she takes care of herself and her appearance and maintains integrity. But these guys range from being restaurant managers with their own apartment to in between jobs scrounging to get by; but they are not abusive, they a very respectful to their mothers and their families, they are wise gentleman, open minded, well traveled... they are all taller than 5'2:) But career and finance has not been very good to them or me for that matter. We may all have to learn to search outside of the box.

Where to meet people that are datable over 30? Well how would you define datable? Datable people over 30, are all over the place, the laundry mat, grocery store ect... some may be right in front of you but you'd look right past them because they don't have those certain things that popular culture/ society says we should have by the time we reach 30, like a college degree or a house, a car, kids, a wedding ring... The ones who do have it all together "so to speak" but have stayed single beyond 30 are making good money and traveling... Or going out to the most exclusive clubs and events...

Question about Autism and relationships. Posted: 9/13/2009 11:09:57 PM
I think the point is alot of the ones who have autistic spectrum disorder, particularly the men, have trouble even getting dates to begin with because of the perception of their behavior as being creepy or too nice. So maybe early disclosure and explaination of the disorder would at least educate a potential partner before hand so they know what to expect and aren't rude or unkind to a date who suffers from this disorder.

Also I would like to add that at least one of the two has to be mature and wise enough to over come variables that can detach a bond before it starts. ie. One may have to put up with the other's initial shortcomings and loosen up on the "dealbreakers" mentality.
