Rings with no tone
Posted: 6/15/2007 11:11:49 AM
Some girls wear rings just because they have a lot of family rings and they're running out of fingers to put them on.

I say go ahead and ask the question. Better to get it out in the open than to worry yourself over it for too long.

Traveling Alone
Posted: 5/31/2007 11:33:00 AM
Not that I've ever tried it, but I don't think I would enjoy it. I know it would be a great opportunity to meet new people, but there's the paranoid side of me that would worry about all sorts of stuff.

If you're like me and you're a little weary of it, why not look into dropping in on some family members or friends that live elsewhere (okay give em some notice)?

Or you could buddy up with some people on POF and make an event out of it.

I say go ahead and try new things, but be safe and smart about it...you'll have a great time!

Do all women want kids?
Posted: 5/31/2007 11:23:53 AM
I have a cousin that says she doesn't ever want kids, and I actually believe her. I doubt much will ever happen to change her mind either. However she's planning to be a teacher and will be working with young children all day, so I can understand why she wouldn't want them.

I also have friends that would rather adopt a child rather than having their own. No reason they can't open their hearts to a child in need of parents.

Personally, I GOTTA have kids. It's a long story to explain, but I've just gotta have them. How many is totally dependant on how the first one goes

Pedestrians , are they too cocky?
Posted: 5/30/2007 11:45:21 AM
Well having been on both sides I can understand the frustration of being either a driver or a pedestrian.

I admit, I'm the goodie goodie that choses not to jaywalk, it's not worth the risk. However, it can be tempting to just dart across quickly when there's no traffic, it sure beats standing at a marked crosswalk waiting for drivers to stop, and then there are the drivers that aren't even paying attention and I've had a few close calls.

As a driver, my frustration comes from ignorance of the laws and people being oblivious to the fact that it's not always easy to make that short stop when someone darts across the road. Just this morning a girl at a cross walk glared at me because I didn't stop for her, but by the time she'd pressed the button to cross I was past the point of no return and couldn't have braked fast enough to stop without having half my car sitting on top of the crosswalk.

So I think it's fair to say that people just need to be more aware and even courteous of other drivers and pedestrians alike. No need to stereotype one vs. the other.

Rodeos...should they go?
Posted: 5/30/2007 11:31:39 AM
Every year there are protesters skulking at the gates of the Stampede. I can understand where they're coming from, but it's like some of you have said, it's a way of life here in Alberta.

If you honestly believe that things are so much more "humane" on a ranch, perhaps you should experience it being a ranch hand. Those of you that see this as cruel and torcherous should try catching a calf with your bare hands, or break a horse by patting it and telling it what a good boy/girl it is.

If you don't agree with the events of a rodeo, perhaps you should just boycot the Stampede entirely and let the rest of us enjoy our mini donuts while catching some serious bull riding.

Is the how many partners question a catch 22
Posted: 1/31/2007 11:40:26 AM
I don't think I'd end a good relationship over the number of partners either one of us had.

One thing that I won't ever forget that my boyfriend said to me is that it doesn't matter what's happened in the past, it's the past. The only thing he cares about is the present and that the past is what made us who we are today.

I think the only reason that conversation comes up is to see how promiscuous someone has or has not been and it's a good lead into the STD talk too.

Young people?
Posted: 1/31/2007 11:34:59 AM
Ooooh there was a special on W-Five about this. They took a bunch of teenage girls and seperated them into groups of three. They were provided with cell phones and computers with internet and web cams. In another room there were a group of college kids dubbed "the cool people". Obviously the teenage girls wanted to impress the cool people especially the boys, so they did whatever it took to get their attention. Eventually it got really catty, downright disgusting really.

In the end everyone was asked about their experience and why they behaved the way they did. They all agreed that they did all these horrible things for attention. They didn't really think about any consequences or how badly they could be hurting someone.

Throughout the show they were also showing clips of a true story about a boy who's best female friend abused his trust and also did horrible things to fit in at school. Whatever she did drove the poor kid to suicide.

Kids are flipping awful, but I think it's the girls that are the worst. It's no wonder school violence has gotten so out of hand, I'd probably do the same if a co-worker was sabotaging me that way.

Dating And Chemistry
Posted: 1/31/2007 11:26:56 AM
I dunno about that chemistry thing, ya know, the fireworks, headspins, walking on clouds feeling. What I do know is you just KNOW! If you're not willing to give it more than a first or second date, then it's probably not a relationship your heart will be in, but if it's someone you enjoy talking with and spending time with, certainly you should continue seeing that person.

Calgary Police Service
Posted: 1/25/2007 6:50:26 PM
I agree with the majority. We purchase insurance and stuff like that for a reason. Just because the Calgary Police force is understaffed isn't any reason to call them idiots. They've got bigger fish to fry (no pun intended). I'd rather they hold off on investigating a B&E, and theft and stick to chasing down rapists, violent offenders, murderers and dangerous criminals. I'm sure you can agree that financial ruin is much less offensive than being dead or near dead.

Marijuana....Friend of Foe?
Posted: 1/25/2007 6:39:39 PM
I know that in moderation it really can be beneficial to ones health, however I'm not one of those people. It's kind of embarrassing, but I react really badly to it.

Personally, I don't care if people smoke it, just so long as I don't have to smell it. I don't really condone people becoming complete potheads either, but I'm not one to go and get an attitude about it.

I wasted nearly three years waiting for a man to come to me. EFF THAT! Don't wait. Tell him how you feel, but let him know that you'll be dating while he's away, and if he's still interested when he gets back he can give you a call then.

Butt Out of It
Posted: 1/18/2007 11:44:56 AM
Okay, well this post has been up for a while and I don't think I'm being forum stocked on it, so here goes.

This friend is his female roommate that he likes ONLY as a friend. She went behind my boyfriend's back and told his best friend that this is her opinion of me.

I have met most of his friends here in town and they like me a lot. One of his really good female friends wants my number so we can hang out some time.

I do believe it's an issue of jealousy, and there's nothing I can do about that. I'm not giving up my happiness and I'm certainly not going to stop holding his hand when he puts it out for me to hold. I'm actually pretty careful not to be all over him or to let him be all over me when there's someone around. Pecks on the cheek and a hug or holding my hand is sufficient. I would never go out of my way to make someone feel awkward or like the third wheel.

So that's my story. I really am not a controlling person...quite the opposite actually.

Thanks for all the responses!

Do most women think like this?
Posted: 1/17/2007 11:29:08 AM
I believe that is vaguely true. I don't know how accurate any of the statistics are or anything like that and individually it really is a different story.

Generally I am in it (a relationship) for love, but I like sex just as much as the next guy/girl. I don't believe that my boyfriend is really consumed by erotic fantasies since he's not constantly trying to tear off my clothes, but he enjoys those moments when they happen, I'm sure of it.

Oh no...this someone exists...for sure...I've met them in person.

Apparently he wasn't told this first hand, he heard it from his best friend and he told me cause he's totally ticked off about it.

We both agree this person's behavior is immature and even a little pathetic. I think at this point we're okay to just drop the subject and go on being happy

Posted: 1/16/2007 7:49:34 PM
I don't like it when people want my MSN so soon, but I can understand that it's the preferred means of getting to know people for some out there so I just give it. I just hate that I feel so guilty when I block and delete people later on because I'm not interested in chatting anymore.

Okay, so she's seeing someone, perhaps you should just bide your time until that's over and drop some hints of your own. Really, if you're never going to make a move, you're wasting your time. What about you? Don't you need a little love? What are you waiting for?

Long walks...
Posted: 1/16/2007 7:24:32 PM
LMAO dude...you're hilarious!!!

Well I dunno about a long walk, but I think a bit of an evening stroll in the summertime isn't so bad. I usually find that a nice walk can lead me to a quiet place to be alone (you said first date, not first meeting so I assume it's safe).

Usually a new couple wants to spend as much time as possible getting to know each other without any voyeurs or interruptions. If you keep moving, it can prove difficult for someone to spy on you and become a living, breathing hemorrhoid.

Personally, I don't mind sitting down and having a couple pints and relaxing. Like you said with the nerves and all that sweaty stuff....it's not cool.

Loves Illusions
Posted: 1/16/2007 12:00:44 PM
I can't say as I've lead anyone astray in telling them who I am. When I'm dating exclusively, I make it clear that that is my position, when I'm single, I feel free to browse naturally.

You might wonder what has me on this website still since my current status is in a relationship, well, I like the forums. I'm opinionated and like to seek others advice as well.

My boyfriend knows this about me, he trusts me and I wouldn't dare betray that because I would hate the same to happen to me.

airport security, police pat downs male versus female.
Posted: 1/16/2007 11:40:25 AM
Oh dude...I've BEEN there!

On my way home from Germany I was going through security. They had the metal detector on so sensitive that it was picking up the wire in my bra. Wouldn't you know it?! OLGA comes out, this big brute of a woman and starts frisking me. I was so humiliated and probably would have laughed it off so much easier had it been a man.

I think stuff like that can be tricky, but security is security, and as long as the officer is doing their job properly it should be a non-issue. No reason for anyone to scream abuse/harrassment/rape over it. If you end up getting strip searched, I pity you, but it's better than becoming the latest show of fireworks.

Butt Out of It
Posted: 1/16/2007 11:35:27 AM
I've been dating someone for about 2.5 weeks (yup still really new), I'm more sure every day that he's the guy I want to spend the rest of my life with. Everything has been completely fantastic, however there's something that's been irking me.

There is a certain someone in my man's life that believes me to be controlling. I don't know how close they are, but they do have contact every day. He told me about this last night, said that they think I'm nice, but I seem to be controlling the relationship.

Here's the thing, he asked me out, he kissed me first, and he was the one to put me in the mood (but patient enough to make sure I was ready) for sex. He and I talk everyday and see each other more often than not. Our dates are pretty simple and consist of a lot of movie watching and cuddling.

I think this is upsetting him on some level and it's kinda got my back up a bit too. I don't believe that this person is basing this assumption on anything other than jealousy, but then again I too could be making a bad assumption.

Should I just ignore this intrusion, or do I let this person know that they are over-stepping their boundaries?

Dr. Phil talking about online datining, he's never done it.......
Posted: 1/5/2007 11:57:17 AM
WAKE UP!!!

This whole thing with Dr. Phil mentioning Match.com is no mistake, he was intentionally plugging it like any random product so that he too can reap the benefits of endorsements. Believe me, if you were in his position, you would too.

On the other hand, he's right, it's a great option to meeting people that you wouldn't necessarily run into on any regular day. It increases your likelyhood of meeting someone special.

Well all have to weed through the frauds and phonies, but sometimes we get lucky and we do find the one. There are also the times we get equally as lucky and perhaps meet a great friend. Don't let the cons outweigh the pros.

What is wrong with my profile?
Posted: 1/5/2007 11:48:19 AM
Okay, I did a quick scan and here's what I've got:

Let's start with the online handle/nickname. It pretty well says to me that you're boasting about something that I personally don't care about. If you want a lady to get to know you, you need to dig deeper than what's between your legs.

Next is your list of interests. I'm sure these are all great and fun for you, but how many women do you know that are into NASCAR or hunting? Do you have any other interests that women might be more inclined to participating in? I'm not saying to take away from your list, but add to it, try to add on things that you honestly like that you think us females would be interested in doing with you.

Lastly, you've got a fair number of restrictions as to who can contact you. Maybe that perfect lady you're looking for has tried to email/message you but can't because, without even giving her a shot, you've put her on your denied list.

But that's just my opinion.

Walk In Clinics
Posted: 1/5/2007 11:32:10 AM

The solution for that is to make an appointment with your regular doctor to get the pill represcribed(and convince all the other hundreds of people on walkin to stop getting rxrefills this way, and your wait time will be diminished greatly)


What if your regular doctor IS one of the doctors at the walk-in clinic. What if you can't get a regular doctor because there's such a shortage of them in the city and watching the obituaries in hopes to find an opening is too tedious and morbid.



Another way to make it easier is to NOT go to the doctor when you have had a cold for a day or two, and then convince all those other souls that have had the sniffles for a week to not come in, too


This I agree with. There are far too many people in line to see the doctor when all they've got is the common flu or cold. You'd do better to visit your local pharmacy and speak to the pharmacist about what's best to help you feel better.

Does your Horoscope sign really matter?
Posted: 1/4/2007 11:53:37 AM
Does it matter? I'm not sure, I think that's entirely up to the couple not the stars.

On this note I feel I must mention that far too many people are under the presumption that they're lead by their Sun Sign (this is that vague description of a sign you read in newspapers and magazines), however there are far more Signs, Planets, Houses, and Aspects that make up the individual Astrological Profile. For example, my Rising Sign (aka Ascendant) is Scorpio, my Sun is in Leo, my Moon is in Leo, my Mercury is also in Leo, Mars is in Virgo, and Venus is in Cancer (I don't remember the houses off hand).

If you're confused or fascinated please visit www.astrodienst.com (I'm not a part of this site, it's just one of my favourites), you can learn a lot from it and also learn a lot about your partner.

The 'Calgary' Smoking Ban
Posted: 1/4/2007 11:27:06 AM
What's to say that hasn't already been said?!

I haven't been out to the bar since the new bylaw kicked in, so I'm not entirely sure what my experience is going to be. Personally I'm happy because this new bylaw will make quitting that much easier (day 2 all over again and no cravings). I'll be glad to not come home, reaking so badly of tobacco and ash that all I want to do is shower and wash all of my clothes immediately. Part of me hopes that I'll be less hung over on the occasions that I normally would be because I'll be that much less dehydrated from the night out.
