Please revue my profile Posted: 12/6/2007 9:22:27 PM
I believe it's "The unexamined life is not worth living".... by Socrates or someone. Interesting you thought of it. I agree with the above. You definately need to break it down into paragraphs. It's difficult to read. Break it down, and simplify. Use the KISS method. Try something witty in the beginning. Grab some attention. As for pictures, I'm secure with my sexuality.... Keep the top on. I've seen countless profiles requesting "any pictures of you showing your abs, or your car, or you holding a child"...... Again, KISS. Reader's Digest version: Keep it simple. Keep it real.

Judgement day is now.... Posted: 12/6/2007 9:06:49 PM
I'm curious of how my profile does or doesn't stand out. What can I do differently. Is there a way to put neon lettering about to catch the wandering eye? Judge it. Hold no punches. I can take it. I'm tough.... like an 8 year old girl in a pink dress.

Ending things. Posted: 12/6/2007 8:59:18 PM
Always face to face. This over-the-phone garbage is just...... garbage. I had it done to me over the phone. Utter shite! I didn't have closure until 6 months down the line when I finally had a chance to purge my feelings. Get it done and over with right then and there. It's hard, and it sucks. You just need to cowboy up, and do it.

critique my profile please Posted: 10/20/2007 9:02:34 AM
Well, to begin with, I think you should drop some information. Being widowed (my condolences) is fine, but stating how long isn't quite necessary. That can be brought up through conversation. The other issue I have is the "not sure what to put down" or "I read other profiles to get an idea".... I read those lines too often. People only need to be themselves. Just write a humble opinion of yourself. If you're funny, be funny. If you're articulate, be articulate. I get some heated flack from my profile, but I don't care because it's exactly the way I am, and will attract like-minded people.

Am like the OP. I was never one to play the field. I go with my gut, or heart, as did he. Perhaps it was too early. Maybe he saw something more, that in reality wasn't there. I've been there. OP, I think you did the right thing. You said how you felt. She didn't reciprocate those feelings. Absolutely nothing you can do. No sense in walking into the same wall.

Ok. I think it can be separated. Coming from a loss of life, I can absolutely understand. Having someone taken from you is much different than them leaving. As far as dating, memories can haunt a person.

Well, you folks are asking me questions about experiences I'm not dealing with. It's basically a general question. I've had my heart torn frae me chest, splattered about the room....but I lived. Did I learn something....other than the pain? Well, suppose it's similar to first burning your finger on the element? You learn once! Why is love different? Wow, a new twist.

"Tis better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all" Is this entirely true. I have had many-a-pinted pub night discussions....numerous debates within a close group of people. Now, to the masses.... the masses that be POF, is this statement true? I ask because I'm not 100% sure I agree. I think I could do without the pain. Granted, one has thier heart filled for a certain time; be it long or short. They also say you learn something from every heartbreak. Any inquiries have brought me down much different paths. FYI, I searched this topic (none too hard) and came up.

Just the fact he's Scottish makes him gold. I think right now in his life he needs a friend. He's not ready for anything. I don't think he's anything to run from. He has his plate full. Let him sort things out. If something materialises later on, great. Just don't wait for him.

Mixed signals Posted: 8/24/2007 10:41:23 PM
Let me begin by saying that these aren't mixed signals. The ones who say you are too cautious clearly don't understand how dangerous the internet is. The ones who get angry and vicious at you for not meeting them on THIER timetable is a clear sign they are controlling and very self-absorbed. Now, if you had an anecdote about a guy who was bi-polar like the forementioned, then I'd have some personal advice. Here's what I can give: Don't give up, and don't sell yourself short. Think of this site as an additional avenue for dating. If you rely on this site as your main means of dating, you'll find things quite aggrivating. Be cautious. Be aware. Be yourself. Go at your own pace. If a guy can't handle your speed, then he's clearly not for you.

Unlovable ???? Posted: 8/24/2007 10:23:53 PM
Well, from a guy's view, most of us do want a fit girl. Fit, not always being model type, but someone who takes care of themself. Very few get on with a person who sits on the sofa watching tele, regardless of gender. Lack of motivation speaks volumes. You don't state whether you're active in life, so I'm only assuming. There are really good people in all sizes. Sounds cliche, of course, but also true. I'm sure you're a wonderful person. You're clearly far too hard on yourself and of your image. My brother always told me: "Don't complain about something which you aren't doing anything about." Meaning, if you feel so strongly about how being "FAT" is so negative to your progress in the dating world, I suggest doing something about it. Honestly, if you just learn to like you in your own skin, others will notice it and will also bring positive feedback. Alba Gu Brath!

Predominant male friends Posted: 6/25/2007 4:02:39 PM
This post got out of control. I understand people need platonic relationships. I have my own. I was never threatened by any of her male friends. In fact, we got on great. I guess the better word to use would be "desensitized". 1. to lessen the sensitiveness of. 2. to make indifferent, unaware, or the like, in feeling. I'm sure there's a logical explaination why she gassed me as a boyfriend. It just got me thinking after my pal mentioned it.

Predominant male friends Posted: 6/23/2007 10:59:22 AM
Ok Kylie, here goes: I dated someone for 4 months. Things were great. Chemistry was there. Passion was there. A connection was there. Somehow, out of the blue, her emotions pulled back. She says I'm an amazing guy and there should be no reason why she feels the way she does, but she just lost all romantic feelings for me. Funny though, she wants to remain friends because she "cherishes" my friendship. We've only talked to each other, not really hung out. I'm ready to just cut it off from here because I don't do the buddy thing too well. A was chin-wagging with a pal and he asked me if she had alot of male friends. I gave an obvious reply, but then really did some thinking. She has alot..... ALOT of male friends. My question to women is this: Having so many male friends, is it possible to become numb to romantic feelings? Is it more difficult to seperate the two emotions?

Here we go. I'm sure it's been done to death, but nothing I can find. As women, do you suppose it's difficult for a woman to feel/realise/separate the plutonic feelings, as to opposed to the romantic feelings, associated with male interaction? For a female to have an abundance of male friends, good/close ones to boot, which have always been known as " pals ", would it be normal to have difficulty finding a true bond with a male that wasn't YET a "pal"?

Dear Metrosexual Men... Posted: 1/20/2007 12:03:02 PM
I have a pal who is extremely metro. Happily married, to a woman who also loves metro guys. Now, I always believed a metrosexual was just a manicured push away from being gay. I like looking good. I spend time in front of the mirror. But, I'm a mechanic, who gets dirty. I swear, I spit, I drink beer......but try to look good while doing it. No shame in that. I honestly agree with that poster who stated metros are attracted to women who appreciat e the same energy looking good as they do. You'll need TWO bathrooms. And don't scam thier afternoon mud mask.

I understand dogs need to be transported. That's no-brainer. Even in the backseat, they're potential torpedo's. (as mentioned in a vocal debate) But, so is anything with a certain mass in the back seat. It irks me, and I see it bothers a lot of other people. I find it interesting no one has mentioned they DO let their darling lil princess punkin pie sit on thier lap while driving. I would truelly vote towards a law being issued about this situation. Same goes for cell phones. Should be illegal to have it pressed to your ear. Hands-free is fine.......-ish.

Ok folks. This is an issue I've had for a long time. I see people driving around with thier dog on thier laps. Most dogs don't sit still in the backseat, let alone on the driver's lap. Here's my question: Are these drivers considered dangerous/impared? I mean, people who use cell phones are considered dangerous. What about trying to drive with a tail wagging in your face?

I did a search for redundancy on this, but came up with nothing. So here goes: I need to ask why women (and men too I'm sure) put up pictures of themselves and roughly 4 other people beside them? This would be an easy question to answer.....had ALL the pictures have the same one person appearing in them. Sadly, the same 4 people appear in EVERY photo. Who is this person I'm contacting? The one who always has a drink to their mouth? The one smoking? The one sticking their toungue out? I know I could ask this in any forum, but I don't give a toss about the guys' forum.

One more to add Cotter :) Most of us will do the chase.....for a bit. After a while it becomes a pain in the a*** and other unmentionable areas. Any smart (i use that term loosely) man will know when you're keeping us on a hook. Fine, I know when I'm snared, I'll play along. Through and through, dating is a game. But the game can only go on for so long before people start quitting. Similar to Monopoly. That game goes on fooooorrrrreeeevvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........ why? Because the banker cheats!! I like the chase. I've lead the chase. It can be fun and it can be disasterous. Redundant reply? You betcha!

Wow, a bunch of guys talkin fashion...... In my opinion, I'd choose both, but for very different purposes. The slightly clothed one is great for arm-candy. I've had that. Fan**intastic to watch other guys drool over this too-smokin-for-clothes chick.....who, by the way, is so very insecure and is absolutely terrible in bed. I've also had the somewhat more conservative girl. Business suit (gaaah), black**ail dress, jeans and a t-shirt kinda gal. Other guys don't galk over her much. BUT, she's secure and confident......and will make you cry like a b!tch in bed. Point being: There are under-lying reasons why women display themselves the way they do.

I am IN the situation. I honestly believe this is the time to re-identify oneself. Knowing and recognizing who you are without that other person. I'm sure when the timing is right, you'll want to get that romantic crap back again. It's been a bit over a year for me, so I've slowly worked my way into the dating scene. No visions of grandeur, but just to feel it out. My biggest fear is this: The longer one waits, the harder it is to get back into it.

What to do when a drunk guy gets in your face? Posted: 10/14/2006 9:42:48 AM
Putting his arm around you, by law, is assault. Very well could be taken as a threat. So, basically, if you go the "headbutt to the nose" route, you're safe. Now, I have my local watering hole, and I know it's not wise to be fighting where I frequent most. But, if some jackass gets in my face day in/day out, no matter how many times I've asked nicely to fck off, he will get the message one way or another. The bathroom is a great place to fck someone up. Usually no security, and no one jumps in.....too busy using porcelain. Providing you win, you can go about your pint with no one the wiser. Or, get a buddy to smack the shite out of him. See, these guys don't go away. Like a fly at a barbeque. It's sad that they're always like that, and feel sorry for them. I know fighting isn't the answer...... perhaps a good thrashing will wake him up.

His place must be littered in porn.............. Something's fishy. I'll decline someone if I know my place is unacceptable for the viewing public. I've "cleaned" up prior to any meeting. Either he aint prepared, which is a dolt move, or he's hiding something. Basically, any guy who is comfortable/secure with his surroundings is willing for anyone to view. I think you should really press the "I'd love to see your place" issue. You don't have to put out, just test. See, women have the power of the "time of the month" which will rescue them from any danger. It's like mace to the

Hmm. See, I'm a pisces, which is pretty much bang on to my personality. I've been out with women who are other signs, mainly Leo. My problem is this: Sometimes I think people use their sign as an excuse for their behaviour. "I'm rude and obnoxious and ignorrant. Typical Aries...hahaha" That doesn't sit well with me. Typical Gemini "Watch out!!".....that's shite. Control and behave yourself. "I murdered my husband. Hey, I'm a Capricorn."

head gasket! Posted: 10/1/2006 1:08:45 PM
Doug, are you on glue? (no offence) That's by far the worst advice I've heard (as per vehicle repair) Most head bolts are "torque-to-yield". Which means they can be torqued ONCE. When a head gasket goes, tightening bolts will not remedy the problem. You can however get away with that for oil pans or tranny pans. That's about it. Hmm....UK cars I don't see quite often. Some people advise to never pay a repair that costs more than you paid for the car.
