Favorites List????? Posted: 8/1/2005 9:55:10 AM
I don't mind most of the people that have me in their favorites. Some I respect, some I occasionally chat with, most of them messaged me at some point. The ones that really creep me out are those that have no pics in their profiles, have never messaged me, and have not posted in the forums either... which leads me to think they are here to collect pictures of women and just like to look at profiles. THOSE I don't like. The rest I don't mind.

Do you think your ex treats his girlfriend the same way he treated you..... Posted: 7/19/2005 9:34:53 AM
We can try to change, but I've found there are certain patterns of behaviour that are repeated in all of my relationships. Since this seems to happen to other people as well, I've discovered that finding out what went wrong with my boyfriends' EXs is always quite useful. I don't push for this kind of information, but whenever the guy decides to speak about his ex I pay close attention to what he says about them. For example, if after 6 years of being together his ex decides to leave him when everything seemed perfect and they were talking about marriage, instead of thinking "what a ****," I would wonder what made her run that way. Ultimately you (like her) could find out he's a total loser. I know I went a little off topic, but what I'm trying to say is that, whether we are aware of it or not, we tend to repeat behaviours in all of our relationships because that's what makes us be who we are. The tricky part is finding someone that accepts us that way. And, if you're not too sure about the guy you're dating, finding out about his ex's might help understand him a bit better. That's my 2 cents.

Spiritual But Not Religious.. Posted: 7/4/2005 9:10:05 PM
Interesting thread. I agree that the "spiritual, not religious" phrase has become a cliche, but I have to admit I have used it several times to describe myself. I actually picked up the word "spiritual" when I went to study to the US, over 3 years ago. Up until then, I wasn't sure in what category or religion I fit in. I was raised as a Roman Catholic, but in my teens I started to question many things in my church that I couldn't relate to or thought were too old fashioned, etc. I then turned to Wicca in search of something completely different and more in my line of thinking and loved it. That is why I can relate to most things wiccanenchantress said. Today, after much mixing and blending and trying to find my own personal way of connecting with a higher power, I can affirm I am "spiritual but not religious". This means I don't go to churches or participate in any religious activities, but rather consider Nature to be my "church". So I am not part of any organized religions, but I respect and cherish life, I pray (in my own way) and feel deeply connected with a Higher Power, angels and other entities. That's my personal viewpoint. Hope it helps. Cheers!

Why are some women afraid of commitment ? Posted: 6/26/2005 9:21:27 PM
Amen to Spiderwoman's words: I deserve to be picky, I really value my independence and don't care about my biological clock ticking. I personally feel that society puts too much pressure on people, expecting them to have a relationship and/or a life partner so that they can be considered as "successful". Have you ever been to a high school reunion or got together with friends you haven't seen in a long time and had that feeling you weren't good enough because you didn't have a boyfriend/girlfriend at the moment, and those who did got all the nice words and congratulations from the rest of the group? I think that's BS. How about achieving career or life goals? How about just feeling GREAT about being alone but not feeling lonely? To blast and bucs (Anitas): I found blastkis' story very inspiring as well as bucs' words of encouragement. Cheers to you both. Kat

What have you learned? Posted: 6/26/2005 8:30:41 PM
I'm better off alone. And try to resist the urge to date just to kill time. It's not fair for the guy or me.

psychic/tarot for our advice?? Posted: 6/26/2005 8:18:10 PM
I have used tarot, runes, an angel oracle, among others at times when I've had to make a difficult decision that would affect my life. I've found oracles have their "moods" and that you need to go beyond the obvious to understand their messages. We should always trust our intuition, whether we choose to consult an oracle or not. And if you do decide to consult them, you should keep in mind they are just a tool to guide you towards the right choice but they will not tell you the final answer.

DO YOU DREAM ABOUT YOUR EX? Posted: 5/12/2005 7:29:10 AM
Yes, I dream about my ex a couple of times a month. Our relationship turned into a long-distance thing, I stopped caring and broke it off despite his complaints almost a year ago. The dreams are usually nightmares: of him finding out where I live, or running into him somewhere. I am in the worst of moods the whole morning whenever I dream about my ex. And I agree, lack of real closure is usually the problem.

WHY DID YOUR LAST RELATIONSHIP END? Posted: 4/26/2005 8:33:48 PM
He was separated but still living with his wife (?!) plus had a daughter (nothing wrong with that, but I didn't want to get in the middle of a family). Oh, and I was working there for a short period of time, so add long-distance to that list... too much drama!! But can't blame him... I shouldn't have let it happen in the first place

How many people connect emotionally/spiritually with the outdoors Posted: 4/25/2005 2:26:56 PM
Nature is my way of connecting with a Greater Power too. That's why I chose a career that would allow me to be outdoors most of the time.

Explaining the origin of your profile name.... Posted: 4/25/2005 12:03:19 PM
I went through a lot of screen names in the early internet years. Then the online life stopped for some years. I came back a year and a half ago with "katyz24". "Kat" is not my name but rather a reflection of the animal I love and feel identified with. I've also been called a viper, so go figure lol. My first profile pictures in other websites were kitties, so many online friends started calling me "Katz". The complete name actually means "cat is 24" since I was 24 at that time. So I got rid of the 24 part when I signed on to POF. Not very original, but it's grown on me.

Habemus Papem!! Posted: 4/19/2005 10:24:22 AM
I think the late Pope (JOhn Paul) was so respected among his followers that he left a huge void the Vatican wasn't sure how to fill. Ratzinger is for sure an interim Pope (with 78, I would guess less than 10 years). He is SO conservative that I'm sure by the time he dies, people will be ready for a change. Personally, I liked that Cardenal from Belgium but I guess he was too reformist...

What do u find most annoying about the opposite SEX??? Posted: 4/7/2005 8:38:29 PM
- Men who create a mental image of the kind of person they think I am when they haven't even bothered to ask any questions about me or give me a chance to show them the REAL me - Mama's boys - People who fail to see the good things that life has to offer and instead spend most of their energy whinning and complaining (applies to both sexes)

You've talked about fat guys, what about shorter guys? Posted: 4/6/2005 10:05:16 PM
I have to agree with Babylonia and verycdn on this one. I am 5'10'' and prefer the taller guys (6'0'' - up). It is a shame though... there are so many cute shorter (than me) guys out there! I even dated a short-chubby guy in the recent past but it was too awkward. I guess I have the movie image stuck in my head: girls should look up when they are kissed, not down. I didn't break up with him because of the way he looked --I obviously didn't mind much when I started dating him-- but rather because I moved back to my country (plus he was separated and had a daughter... I'm too young for such a complicated love life! But that's another story...). So I guess it could happen: short guys dating taller girls. Personally, I don't think I would do it again.

9/11 victims were Posted: 3/23/2005 3:07:50 PM
Since the original subject has shifted a bit, I thought it would be good to shine some light on the new subject (Muslims). A guy in another thread ("What's all this FUSS about Islam and Muslims") has recently posted info about the history of this religion. It's worth checking it out. Maybe some of you would like to investigate a bit more before speaking hatefully against all Muslim people. Just a suggestion.

Apologies..... Posted: 3/23/2005 2:54:07 PM
Hi segovius, I haven't been part of this thread so far, but I just wanted to say thank you for the information provided above. I will try to pinpoint people in other threads to come take a look. Many have been talking hatefully against Muslims without realizing the fact that you pointed out about the Saudis being that small group causing trouble. These people also fail to understand that these terrorists are extremists and that we cannot generalize and say "all Muslims are dangerous." Anyway, thanks again and I wish more people would educate themselves before opening their hateful mouths (Ironic, isn't it, that they criticize Muslims for their hatred against Americans but they're not any better...).

9/11 victims were Posted: 3/23/2005 8:41:48 AM
Infinitee: Thanks for starting this post. I read his essay weeks ago and I’ve been wondering since what other people outside the University of Colorado thought about this issue. This post has gone a little off subject at times but it has been quite interesting. For what it’s worth, I took Churchill’s course on Native American issues a few years ago and it was great. I thought he was an awesome professor. He challenged my views, made me think outside the box. I encouraged my friends to take his course. Some liked him, some didn’t, but they all respect him. He has a very in-your-face style, so whenever you see his name you can expect controversy. In my opinion, this issue is not just about people not understanding his essay. It is a larger matter. The government has wanted to get rid of him for a long time because he’s not afraid to speak his mind and show Americans (quite crudely sometimes, I admit) the reality many are not ready to face. I recommend you read “Should universities be societies in miniature?” by Tim Oakes in the Denver Post: http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E73%257E2768721,00.html?search=filter I am not very elocuent, so am I offering this link for those of you who feel like doing some extra reading. It portrays the way I feel about all the changes going on in my former university and the way I feel about our “freedom of speech” being censored. Needless to say, I hope Churchill doesn’t get fired. We need people like him (whether you agree with his viewpoints or not) to question our worlds and the things we take for granted.

What is it with the cat pictures??? Posted: 3/22/2005 11:47:41 AM
I don't have any cat pics in my profile (which is actually strange in me). I am a cat lover and cat owner so I can relate to women who post those pics. I find them adorable and even funny. Maybe it's more of a chick thing to do and/or understand. Maybe you have to be a cat lover. Either way, I don't see what the problem is with posting animal pics.

I DARE YOU TO TRY THIS Posted: 3/21/2005 8:17:19 PM
There's too much I could say about this subject but I'll try to keep it short. I have been and will be (this coming Fall again) a legal immigrant. First as a tourist when I was a kid, then went to college and graduated over there, and now I've been accepted to this graduate program, which means I'm going back. So as you can see, I am pretty familiar with this whole issue. Woodrow: let me congratulate you. You were able to capture the essence of this problem in a few words. Terry: I won't agree or disagree with you, but it doesn't look like you've been around the world and ran into your fellow Americans out there. I have. [then adapt to it instead of expecting us to change to your ways ... I would learn the language just as fast as I could instead of expecting the entire country to learn mine]. Read "world" instead of "country" in that last sentence. In general, Americans expect the whole WORLD to speak their own language. I've met Americans who have moved to other countries and never even tried speaking the new language. After all, why should they; English should be spoken everywhere, right? Look, I'm not saying you are like them. You did seem to at least have the INTENTION of trying to learn a new language if it were necessary. But the truth is that in general, Americans don't even try. Why do you think Europeans despise you guys so much? Anyway, I'm not trying to defend ignorant immigrants (after all, I do speak your language, and I've even come to discover in these forums that my spelling and grammar is superior to many of your own), but rather give you an outsider's perspective. I find a wealthy American who travels around the world but doesn't speak another language besides English (versus an illeterate Latino who migrated out of desperation and in look of a better life) much harder to swallow. That's my humble opinion and my food for thought. KAT

female/male option suggestion Posted: 3/1/2005 7:53:10 PM
I think there should be an extra option in the "Female/Male looking for...". There are only two choices: you're either looking for a Female or a Male. How about bisexuals? Can't they choose to be looking for both? Or in my case, I'm just here to meet new people from around the world, it doesn't matter wether they are male or female. So suggestion to the creators and administrators of this site: try adding an option that lets people know we are looking for both Male AND Female. Thanks!

What do women want? Posted: 1/20/2005 8:18:44 PM
In my personal opinion, what I don't want is a guy that will fulfill some need or empty space in his life with me. No matter how well they treat me, if I am just looking for a casual relationship (which I announce on our first date), I don't see why they have to get all clingy! Worst thing in a relationship, and probably one of the main reasons of why they don't work out, is when the 2 involved aren't at the same level of commitment or same sentimental level. And yes, we like the challenge, so once the relationship gets serious, try to spice things up so that we don't get bored (which does NOT mean, beat her up!). Hope this helps :)
