What do Atheist Holla Out During Sex?

My Uncle once told me that there were no atheists in fox holes. I think perhaps there are no atheists during orgasm either...lol.

Flakey & inconsistent behavior. Localized or more common than I realize?
Posted:
11/11/2009 1:56:42 PM
There are the rare people who are "real", who know exactly who they are. They are usually confident enough not to try and please someone else to maintain a relationship with them by being who they want them to be and not who they really are.
Everyone is real...but not everyone knows who they are. And it does take time to get to know someone. Many people are so lonely that they want "instamacy". This makes it hard to take things at a normal pace from the internet. The phone calls and emails can really make you view someone in one way when in fact they are quite another; they didn't necessarily misrepresent themselves so much as they put their "job interview" face on and are showing you their best foot forward.
Someone else gave great advice. Lower your expectations. Hope to make a friend or even just a friendly connection. Stop viewing meeting someone that is not "the one" as a waste of time. Enjoy dangling your line off the pier...look at the pretty fishies that are not for you but are still sparkly.

is meeting over a cup of coffee the answer?
Posted:
9/11/2009 1:30:37 PM
Let's go back to being constructive shall we? I'd like to start my suggestions with the following observations:
I've met a LOT of nice people from Fish. Some were dates, and some were friendship offers and I enjoyed both. EVERY guy was at least as good looking as his picture. The vast majority were better looking. I only met three men that made me uncomfortable - neither were from Fish but from other online sources. Sadly, men don't represent themselves honestly all the time either; many shave years off their ages and once I know they lied, I don't bother telling them I would have met them knowing their actual age. I no longer make meets for Friday or Saturday nites. Those always seem to be the ones that lied about something or who call an hour before with mysterious maladies or car trouble. Friday and Saturday nights are for friends and real dates.
Coffee Meetups are horrible. I hate them. I don't drink coffee. I don't like to sit that close to someone and stare in their eyes. They make me nervous. I won't go out on one any more. I prefer:
1) Shoot pool. But you better be good or you will be putting your quarters on the table, and I will be doing the breaking. But if you are good, I'll be interested and I'll ante up my own quarters.
2) Walking the outlets. It's outdoors and they play music. When I'm done powerwalking off nerves, we can stroll and chat. Or I can power walk to my car, lol.
3) Walk the mall. Not as good as the outlets and not outside, but sometimes its raining or cold and it's a back up.
4) Any inexpensive ACTIVITY like minigolf, bowling, street fairs, apple picking, etc. Basically, anything where we are able to chat normally in the course of a normal activity. When you chat with strangers at the grocery store, the mall, etc...it is always about the "activity". Sitting down with a stranger and talking always seems to lead to way too many awkward silences and too many inappropriate personal questions.
Good Luck OP, just like everywhere else in the world...there are winners and losers, users, takers, givers and good peeps. May you find a good peep.

first date - nerves, clothes and banter
Posted:
9/3/2009 12:34:06 PM
I stopped going on coffee dates and voila! no more nerve wracking meets. I like to do something physical - like walk the mall, or shoot some pool. Sitting at a 36" table knee to knee and staring in each others eyes...way too much eye contact and not enough personal space for me.
Don't ask me to get in your car for any reason. If we are moving venues, assume I want to follow you.
Don't continually point out how nervous either of us seems; an initial admitting to awkwardness is fine but after that it puts the focus on the wrong thing. I start worrying about whether I can put you at ease instead of trying to have a good time.

Posted:

My uterus is definitely closed. I *could* have more but despite what someone else said about the diaper/midnite feeding stages...for me, it's the teenage years. I have a freshman and a junior in high school. I wouldn't mind a newborn or toddler...it's the drama years that are tough! I can't imagine having the patience to go through teaching someone to drive again in another 17 years...yikes. I hope to be enjoying sex in my rocker by then!

Meetup is a great place to meet new people...I am loving that.
That said - change your profile to dating if you want to date. Many folks are afraid that "friends" is code for "friends with benefits".

Adam,
Your profile shot with the "free to good home" sign is HYSTERICAL!!! Love it.
Your main problem is the demographic. The vast majority of folks your age are using their university contacts, friends, clubs, etc. to meet someone. And, in your demographic you will be expected to do ALL the contacting. Delete the feel free to write to me phrase and send out TONS more emails.

I'm with forumfilly - re read ameera's post over and over. Instamacy. He probably does want long term - who doesn't - EVENTUALLY. That's how it gets long term. But it sounds like he was falling in love with the "you" he had built you up in his mind to be rather than the "you" you actually are.

I particularly like the way you reworded the "I don't talk about..." piece that Luvnlife referred to. Now I get the sense that it's ok to ask, and you are open to answering...just that you aren't big on volunteering it. So there is a lot more insight into your personality.

Profile Review

7/8/2009 8:13:41 PM
So Mr. Spock...
I've been following you around a bit on the forums...
Your profile is dry but you are way too smart, and I daresay have made some pithy comments elsewhere to be living with a dry profile. You can do better. (Resistance is futile).
Earlier comments about your pics are correct. Although you have a bunch of them...yawn, same one over and over in essence. You're plenty good looking so get a friend to take some shots in some of them there clothes you never wear. You know, the shirts with collars. And wear one of them on first dates, cause chicks dig that.
IMHO - Stay away from talking about the finances. Also drop the lasik stuff - I think you would make that amusing in person...but it just isn't doing anything for you here. Not, say, the way conquering sky diving might. My biggest fear is the dentist but I've already spent 40 years trying to conquer it so now I just use valium. You might try that too.
Good luck.

What are some of the funniest things you've had happen on your first date?
Posted:
7/8/2009 7:32:58 PM
I admitted to a date that my teen daughter liked to surf profiles and would give the guys who emailed me "nicknames". So of course, he wanted to know what his was. I explained that she had been away at camp for two weeks so had not seen his profile but that she would have thought his comment about fighting to keep his hair, up to and maybe even including a comb-over (he was kidding) was funny so that I thought we would call him "Mr. Stylist". He thought I said "Mr. Style-less". I was embarrassed at the time but in retrospect it was kinda funny.

Chris 755:
NONE of the people on my favorites list are "Dates". They are all people I follow here on the forums. OR someone I'm thinking about messaging.
*I* can't control who puts me on their list...but it doesn't seem to be an issue because they are so far only people who seem to follow me on the forums...

Must.....have......white space. And some commas. Break your thoughts up more so they are easy to read.
And, as everyone before me has mentioned - you need a smiling close up head shot without a hat. Chicks dig that. A) We like to know you CAN smile B) We like to know you DO smile and C) We like to recognize your smile when we actually meet you.

Deceptive profile text

and my personal favorites:
I'm honest as the day is long: And it will only take me the first half of our first date to tell you all the things I "embellished" on my profile. Oh yeah, and I'm actually having my last cigarette right now so I'll officially be a non-smoker tomorrow.
I'm a real gentleman: So I will totally pay for your ten dollar dinner if you'll only climb into the backseat of my car in the parking lot afterwards.
OP, TFF...thanks for the laughs.

Posted:
7/4/2009 2:16:16 PM
OP: Be the person your dog thinks you are...cause she looks like she thinks you are god's gift to pupper-doodles.
I was married for a very long time so my situation is a bit different from yours...but I think as you get older, you do want to compromise less. And it's not so much that you are narcissistic or selfish...it's more that some of the bologna that people spout is no longer ok. Taking this out of dating context; don't you have friends that you like and enjoy...but would never live with? I have friends that I know I can't go to certain places with because their behavior there drives me nuts. Etc. So, in looking for a love connection (good lord, I just had a Greg Woolery or whatever the heck his name was flashback) there are a lot of moving pieces. I have a co-worker whom I dig going out for drinks with - but eating out with her at lunch time drives me nuts. I have a friend that can't handle anyone else joining us on outings, sheesh, imagine being married to that? Eeek. So, no, I don't think your narcissist. Yet.

Posted:
7/2/2009 8:51:57 PM
I'm not really all that into flowers (I prefer jewelry
) but I would bring a single rose or similar with me as an apology for standing her up. There is a big difference between having to reschedule and actually having left her sitting somewhere by herself - and I would think it well worth the 5 bucks for the rose to let her know you took the time to do that to apologize for your mistake. Because, she would be only human to think you changed your mind about meeting her and she had some very uncomfortable minutes after realizing you weren't going to show.

Mr. Walrus,
My daughter (who is too young for you) likes the middle photo. I prefer the last one. But they are not sufficient. You need some smiling shots -you're cute, but you are not showing off your smile. Women dig that.
Overall, I like your profile and thought it doesn't strictly fall into the profile guru's view of the world, it provides me with what I want to know to get started. You might add a few more words about what you are looking for in a woman.

Aside from the fact that you are too young, and too far away for me to date....I have no problems with your profile.
I don't think your problem is your vegetarian lifestyle - but you might put in whether you would give a damn or not if the girl you go out to dinner with eats meat. Because most women are carniverous man eaters....errrrm...wait, that didn't come out right.
Anywho, the only really constructive thing I have to say is that at your age you need to man up on the kids issue. Either you want them, or you don't. Because most of the women in your demographic are gonna be looking at that.

Both men and women do it. It typically means they are somewhat interested but something stopped them from contacting you at that time. Usually what YGF said: Chickenshyte. But also out of time, etc.
Personally, I do it all the time. You can take them off, or message them and ask...

Forum review please.
Posted:

Since I'm separated I will comment. Separated means NOT single and NOT divorced. It's part of the "honesty is the best policy because that's a deal breaker to many human beings" plan. A lot of folks won't date separated people because we have all that drama and baggage. So, best to be right upfront with that. If I had a dollar for everyone who says "oh just say you're divorced, everyone does" I'd be rich, but lying about this issue will lose you a second date faster than B.O.
Nextly, asking women to message you...not good. Guess what, they are going to expect YOU to message them. Yes, I know it's unfair and all you guys want all us women to message you. But, they (yes, I mean we) won't. So you better start messaging because that's the way it is (or was...was that Walter C?)

does not want children?
Posted:
6/30/2009 4:25:05 PM
It's awkward the way it appears on this site.
For me, it definitely means my uterus is closed. If you already have cute little people on the face of the planet, that's fine. But I have cancelled my subscription. I have been surprised by the number of men in their mid forties to mid fifties who are either still willing to have another child or *gulp* actually seeking it.
If someone messages me who has something like "undecided" or indicates they are still willing to have/start a family I casually throw it out in my first email back that I'm only interested in those children who've already made their appearance on the planet.

Ruthlessly, here are your problems:
1) You are in the wrong age demographic for internet dating. Most of your peers are dating at college, meeting at bars, meeting at parties, and hanging out with all their single buddies at places where single girls are hanging out with their girlfriends looking to meet you and your buddies.
2) In your age demographic you will be expected to do ALL the work. That means sending ALL the emails. And getting few responses.
3) Join some clubs, join an after work softball team or something, get out in the real world because for your age group...internet dating is just not a great avenue.
Good luck OP

OP,
Not a bad start. You have some redundant info; like repeating your age. You could flesh out a little more about how you spend your free time and try to add some humour to your profile. You sound like a nice guy but will likely fall into the "nothing special" to remember.
I'd also like to see a couple more pictures; maybe a work function one since you mention the good group you work with. Definitely something other than white tshirt!
Good luck

The first half is quite good but then you get very negative. You are absolutely giving off angry vibrations (perhaps not what you intend) but it is the vibe we are picking up on. The last half needs a serious re-write if you want to meet the kind of women you are talking about in the top half.

Speaking as someone who's ex has put them through a lot of pain (and who dragged his kids into his drama-rama too) I think there is only one way forward. Take one itty bitty step forward, whenever you can. CHOOSE to move forward. For you, this might mean dating, or it might not. It sounds like right now, it means pursuing health and career goals. You don't have to be dating/seeing someone to be moving forward.
Do you have good friends? Did moving back in with your Mom cause you to move far enough away to lose your buddies to hang out with? One thing I find weird about the male half of the species is that a lot of guys don't seem to keep their own friends. That's the "woman" job. If you don't have buddies - get some. Getting out and enjoying some good times does not necessarily have to include, or heck, preclude women.
Good luck OP.
