How would you describe 'LIFE'? Posted: 7/29/2006 10:50:49 PM
"LIFE" is a series of four letters taken from the 26 options available and arranged in such a manner as to provoke philosophical thought and discourse about it and what it may or may not mean. {{ KIDDING }} Life is a miracle that it happens at all. You want to feel a miracle 6 times per minute for the rest of your life? Breathe. Now think about what happens during that breath, so that we may exist... Such complex creatures are we! Such an improbable and delicate balance of all the right elements in all the right locations at the right time doing the right things... and it can all stop in the blink of an eye. And if you're asleep at the time, you might never know it ended. There is no yesterday, there dwells experience. There is no tomorrow, there dwells hope. There is only the here and now. Live in it.

8 Types Of Guys Women Avoid Posted: 7/23/2006 8:37:23 PM
I guess I've got a touch of all 8 "Avoid-me" issues... but I s'pose most of us (regardless of gender) are, at one point or another, one or more of the "dread 8". I'll admit to being more predictable than not -- I really don't care for surprises myself, and "the daily routine" has a certain amount of appeal. I like knowing what to expect (for the most part) day after day... Aahhh, maybe I AM f#@%ed... I'm imperfect. Hate that.

Does your past matter? Posted: 7/23/2006 7:08:24 PM
The only time a "past" should matter REALLY is if/when it will affect the relationship later down the line, like medical issues. I've had two (2) heart transplants (and I have the scars, medications, and hospital bills to back that claim too), and I've come to accept that when a certain percentage of women hear that news, they have no further interest in me. Actually, I find that it kinda saves a bit of time and effort on both our parts, knowing how she'd handle that... More often than not, if she did show some semblance of interest, it usually leads directly to the "let's be friends" talk. Sucks, but only kinda...

what is the opposite to love? Posted: 7/22/2006 4:33:05 PM
I can agree to that. My original line of thinking was simply "what other highly-charged emotion is opposite of Love?". I never thought of "opposite of highly-charged emotion is lack of emotion" bit.

Love and Hate are highly-charged emotions, sometimes separated by a very wide, fuzzy grey line in the sand. But they are, in fact, opposites.

Yeah, I think I'm still here, after 38 long years... kinda looking but not seriously... at least not while I'm working & going to school all at the same time. I figure if something's gonna happen, online or not, it'll happen when the time's right.

best/worst place for a first date Posted: 7/17/2006 6:41:05 PM
Best place: meet at a neutral place, get a cup of joe, and throw some ideas about what to do that afternoon -- go-karts, mini-golf (egad I sukk at that! but it's fun!), or something along those lines. Hmm.. oughta alter my profile a bit... Worst place: Movie theater -- how can anyone get to know anyone else in the dark facing the same direction in near total silence?

20 Year HS reunion!!! (Uh-oh...) Posted: 6/15/2006 4:57:36 PM
If it's your first reunion, then you should probably go, if for no other reason than to see some people you thought you'd never see again. If you end up having a good time, go to the next one, and the one after that, etc. etc. until "fun" fails to occur.

Does dancing tell alot about a person? Posted: 6/1/2006 3:32:37 PM
I've been to exactly two clubs in my life -- one country-western club where all they did was two-step and line-dance (and lemme tell ya, them women in western-style outfits.... Very, very nice!!), and one Dance Club where all the "dancers" did was f**k with their clothes on. Sorry, to me that's not dancing. Though the line-dancing comes close. Not that I've ever had any lessons, but from what little I've seen & heard about, Swing-dancing, ball-room-dancing, etc., ... you know, "Classic" dancing... now THAT's dancing. And THAT (to me) says a lot more about a person than what passes for dancing now... And all that really says is "Hey, I know how to dance... wanna learn?" And my answer would be an immediate YES.

I call 'em like I see 'em, when it happens. If that happens to be on the first date, then so be it. My self-imposed maximum "dates" that I'll go on with a woman to try and find the spark is three. No spark by date #3, no date #4. And I'll tell her as politely as possible that for the both of us to be happy, we should pursue other people at this time.

Y'know... I don't think of them as failed relationships Posted: 4/21/2006 10:03:15 PM
Substitute "Broken down" for the word "Failed", and I'll agree. Failure = the inability to perform some task at hand. Relationships start up, so failure is obviously not what we have here... more like a car in my eyes... You get a brand new sportscar, and you're loving every minute you're with it! You test it's limits, how fast it'll go, how well it takes corners, etc. -- that's the first 3-12 months of any new romantic relationship. Now the car's a year old, you know it's limits, and you get comfortable. You maintain it as best you can, and it lasts a long, long time. The car isn't as fast as it once was, but it doesn't break down, though it might run out of gas now and again, or require the occasional major fix, but nothing terminal -- that's the following years of a very happy long-term relationship. OR The car is a few years old now, the limits have been tested and are known, and you get comfortable in it. Comfortable enough to ignore the warning signs of impending breakdown, even though it still runs reasonably well (after all, if you turn up the radio, the noise goes away, right?). Then something happens where you pull an emergency maneuver, and just like that, the transmission hits the pavement and the car breaks down and dies. -- the relationship didn't fail, it broke down. It had to work to get you where you were when it broke down, right?

What is learned in relationships? Posted: 4/21/2006 9:48:03 PM
I know I'm going to sound like a paranoid stalker when I say this, but... 1.) Take your time & observe whom you wish to date for a while. You can learn a lot from a distance if you keep your eyes & ears open while pretending not to notice. Try this when you next order Chinese carry-out & arrive a little early. Sit down in the middle of the bar and see what you can learn about the people around you just by casual observation & listening. Pay particular attention to conversations they may be having, but DO NOT jump into one unless you have information that is relevant to it. 2.) Know your "breaking points" -- the things that, to you, will kill a relationship dead in its tracks -- and watch for telltale signs of their occurrance. 3.) Listen to how your potential LTR talks about his/her family. Anger or resentment towards those they are closest to will 100% guaranteed be reflected towards you as well. You don't want this. 4.) Does your potential LTR introduce you to their circle of friends within the first two or three months of the relationship? If he/she doesn't, what might they be afraid of? 5.) WHEN your potential LTR finally introduces you to the family/friends, how comfortable do you feel around them? If you feel like the only Art History major at a Hell's Angel's hangout, you may want to remember that birds of a feather flock together. I guess what I'm trying to say is that his/her words & actions are a reflection of how they want you to view them, while who and what they surround themselves with may be a much more accurate of what they're really like where the rubber meets the road. Yes, I know... I sound like a spy.

over 30 and still living at home Posted: 4/18/2006 8:00:33 PM
Been in both worlds actually. Back in '97 I was considering proposing to my live-in girlfriend when we were living in Agawam, MA (you could chuck a stone and hit 6-Flags from where we lived). Things were nice. She kept the place clean, did a moderate job of cooking, and I earned the money. I got sick. She left me at that point. Yeah, yeah, Waaah waaaah.. good riddance. Stayed in Agawam for another year after I recoverd and promptly lost my job exactly 53 weeks after I returned to work. Reason: I single-handedly doubled their health insurance premium, and when another company bought them out, the one condition was that the health insurance premium be brought back to normal. So they got rid of me. So I did in fact move back home with the folks in 1998. I needed a roof, food, and access to the doctors in Boston if something went wrong. Struck up a deal with the folks that went something like: When I get a job, I pay the bills, I pay the taxes on the house (since the house is paid for), PLUS my own bills (all except heat, but including DSL when it came to us). Plus I became their on-call I.T. computer-fix-it guy. I buy my own food, cook 2 meals a week for all of us, I help them with whatever needs doing to or around the house (last year, we installed new-construction windows in a 35-yr-old house... THAT was a learning experience), and in exchange, I get... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. The smallest room in the house, plus my own bathroom. That may not be exactly everyone's definition of "The Real World", but besides the fact that they live downstairs (oddly enough, I think they're the ones living rent-free now.... funny how that works, huh?) I fail to see any difference between me living in an apartment and me living where I am now... Oh yeah, the dating scene never really recovered from that move-back... Not like it was fantastic beforehand.

Dating while unemployed? Posted: 4/15/2006 9:57:14 PM
Heh, last time I was "let go", I found myself living with my Aunt and working at a supermarket deli, making well under half of my prior paycheck. They originally didn't want to hire me (the whole "overqualified" thing), so I lied through my teeth, telling them something like "Well, I tried that one career field, and it didn't work out, so I made the decision that retail work was really the job for me" or something like that. No, I was not in a happy place at all. GOD I hated that deli job! So glad I got the one I have now. I don't think that supermarket even saw me leave, it was so fast!

Video gamers: losers or big kids? Posted: 4/12/2006 8:47:28 PM
Hello... My name is Airmech, and I play PC games. I spend about 10 hrs a week on them. And I enjoy it. It's fun. I suppose I could be doing what "normal" people do, like going to a sports bar for beers and to hit on the hot waitresses, but I don't see the pleasure in parting with $50 for a bar tab and chicken wings (just for me) to watch a football game with a bunch of other drunk people, and to hit on a woman that's interested in anything BUT sports and beer, and in all likelihood, entirely "taken". I suppose I could be going off to dance clubs, but the music is far too loud and the women there seem far too superficial to even WANT to get to know better. Last time I went was, to put it nicely, a total disaster to my wallet and my pride. Plus the drinks are weak and priced like they're double-strength. And did I mention that I can't dance? Hrmmm... normalcy....

Dude... I feel for ya man. That sucks big bwonga. But the cord must be severed. Severed quickly, cleanly, and totally. This part might be a little overboard, but either sell, hide, or otherwise eliminate entirely everything that reminds you of her and what you two went through. Move to a new apartment if you have to, and take only your own personal stuff. If you don't, you'll drive yourself crazy. It happened to me back in the early '90s. Un-fun.

People that love their pets Posted: 4/8/2006 10:03:06 PM
I have a cat (Lucie) that seems to think she's a human -- eats when I eat, sleeps when I sleep (and I'm sure, when I work & go to school too... that's a cat's job, isn't it?), and meows at me for coming in late. God forbid I stop at the supermarket and get things like food, right? I also think she can tell time, as she knows how to read my alarm clock. She bats me in the face very gently 3 minutes before it's due to go off. Obviously, it's time to feed Her Royal Highness. Seriously, my cat is probably as close to a daughter as I may ever have, and I certainly would go to some harsh lengths to see to her health. Lucie and I are a package deal too. And my love of animals is fairly general, but I prefer cats and dogs over the other "pet" animals. I dated a girl who had ferrets once. Talk about stinky little elongated rats, but they were funny to watch run around, especially on a linoleum floor!

Sen Suelle... To be as politely "let down" (so to speak) in the manner your response to that one guy was, should be taken by any rational male (ok, there are a FEW of us out there) as exactly that -- a very polite "I appreciate your interest, but no thank you"... When I eventually work up the courage to email one or more women on this site, I hope and pray that the "no-thank-you's" I receive are a fraction as polite as yours is.

Does my partner have a gambling problem? Posted: 4/7/2006 2:29:12 PM
IMO, people that convince themselves they can win at craps, roulette, bingo... have a serious problem. Not entirely true. They CAN win at Craps & Blackjack in the short-term, just that they ought to expect, in the long-term, to lose more than they win. What they CANNOT do is make a living at these games. Except, like the poster above said, with poker. And ya gotta be DARNED good to win consistently. Maybe he is, but I am not. My eyes hit the back of my glasses when I get dealt a pair of royalty in Texas Holdem! Can you say "Tell"??!? To the OP: 2-3 times a week with bankrolls of $1-3k EACH TRIP is, IMO, way too much risk, way too often. Unless he's in like an executive position at Microsoft or something and can afford the threat of a huge wipeout. The advice given above is certainly better than I'd ever be able to give. The real question is: Is gambling, to him, still about "fun" or is it about "winning back the money they got last time"?

Why are you single? Posted: 4/7/2006 2:06:40 PM
Actually, this is a great explanation of why I am single: Medical reasons, certainly not by choice... HOWEVER... Women that create a good first impression and whom I get to know over some time and through conversation/argument and find myself genuinely attracted to, I don't hesitate to let them know exactly how I feel, for tomorrow I "might get run over by a bus" and never get the chance to say how I feel. I also do not expect a similar response. She just needs to know when I have feelings for her. Doesn't work (rather, hasn't worked YET). And like I said in a similar thread... I've recently come to (reluctantly) accept that deep down, in the most primal part of a woman's brain, there's a part of her that wants strong, healthy children produced in part by a man that's "their own idea of perfect", which usually includes "growing old and sitting on a porch spoiling our grandchildren" and "capable of supporting, in part or in full, the family". The medical issues I've had since my early teens will almost certainly keep that from happening. And in all honesty, I don't much blame them for their reactions. This is why I usually want to let my potential ladyfriend know about that part of my past fairly early in the relationship... I don't want to waste their time or my own. It's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" type of thing -- scare them off immediately -OR- accuse of not trusting them later down the line.

JUDGE NOT, LEST YE BE JUDGED Posted: 4/6/2006 7:57:16 PM
One divorce = mistake. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes (Lord knows I've made my share, 'cept no marriages were ever involved). It's when they don't seem to learn from that mistake and go after the same type of person for marriage #2 and expect a different outcome that it moves from "Mistake" to "Didn't learn the first time". I cannot claim to learn first-time-round on EVERY mistake I ever made, but when I repeat them, I have no one to blame but myself...

coastergal : They don't realize HOW fricken wrong that is!!!! That it is lying.... to themselves and to others!!!!!!! nobody answered him, so he put a "hot" pics. Not answering is also wrong. Many people being ignored starting to enhance profiles. Typical things to enhance: weight, height, age, children, pictures, and description. Some even do fake profiles. Reason: honest profiles are IGNORED. Seems to be that way... maybe it's just me, but isn't that an awful lot of remembering to do when the bluff is called? The truth is so much easier to remember, since one is generally LIVING with it all the time. Aaahh, Idunno... starting to think I was born about 50 yrs too late.

Bugs bunny. Yes, this is odd, the King being #4, but this is my list, and this is how it is. 3.) Foghorn Leghorn. 2.) Ren & Stimpy. Too disgustingly funny to not love. "Happy happy joy joy!" And the number one cartoon of all time is.... 1.) Daffy duck (when he developed his greedy, less psychotic personality)

NO NO NO NO NO Please for the love of all that's holy in this world don't waste the money! I tried using a highly-publicised online date-for-cash site called e- , and all I got was a smaller checking account.

Thirty and not married Posted: 4/3/2006 9:03:01 PM
38 yrs old, with parts of me in their triple digits... go ahead, click on the [view profile] link, I double-dog dare ya... and never married, no kids. ALMOST I suppose doesn't count, but before Medical Trauma #2 hit me square in the chest, the girl I was living with was the closest thing I ever experienced to marriage. To the point that I was eyeballing rings at the time... I've had a handful of failed relationships since, but nothing that even remotely hinted at permanence.

GUYS!!! If you met the right woman, could you wait for the sex till marriage? Posted: 4/3/2006 8:05:35 PM
It would probably drive me out of whatever might be left of my mind, but.... yes, I would (given the other "freedoms" available). I'd stick around too... just to see what actually happens. Heck, it might even work out.

Do You Have a Self-Imposed Age Limit for Dating (or Whatever?) Posted: 4/3/2006 7:55:59 PM
Sorta... I'd like her to be at least along enough in life so that our experiences are from the same book & chapter, though same page would be ideal. In my past, I've dated women older than me by 5 yrs through women younger than me by 8 years. And by far I had the best connections with women about 3 years younger.

men to women Posted: 4/3/2006 7:23:03 PM
Worst response: She was doing something like this when I asked... That didn't take much to figure out. And yes I just discovered how to do the little smileydudes... Best response: (and this goes back a ways) An almost normal relationship that lasted for just under a year. Typical response: no response at all.

Now that it's spring... and single... are you sad? Posted: 4/3/2006 7:12:36 PM
And yes, you may read my prior post as "beer fishing". That's when you go out in a canoe with a 6 of your favorite brew sunk about 30 feet down and cast an empty hook into the water. Any fish that's dumb enough to bite it, you have for dinner. Meanwhile, your timer's set by the number of beers you have left. And worse case scenario, you catch a buzz.
