Death - Fear or Acceptance?
Posted: 7/8/2012 11:09:28 AM
I live each day as it comes.

It makes life much easier :)

The only thing that concerns me is who will look after my dog if I die before her.

Middle aged man, new Camaro

A Camaro is on my want list too.

My friends chuckle about "mid-life crisis"

I chuckle back and point out

-no kids = no need for 4 doors

-no kids = disposable income

So, who exactly is having the crisis? Not me...

Would you date someone who admitted to previous affairs
Posted: 7/1/2012 9:59:52 AM
It wouldn't be a factor for me.

People and situations change and a very clear indication of that would be that she told me at the outset.
Honesty goes a long way with me.

I would want to know the whys and story behind it, but it would likely have little bearing on my decision to move forward or not.

Perhaps I'm using the wrong lure?

Thanks for the feedback

My sense of humour isn't for everyone, but seriously, if you don't like it, then perhaps its best that its there so we don't waste each others time, as that is the humour that fills my day. Meaning if you don't like it in a profile you're going to hate it when you're subjected to it irl.

lol @buddies at the bar thing. it was one of them that gave me that line. Her exact words, "Yeah, you're looking for a barbie all right, a trailer trash barbie!". I was lamenting over a failed date where the woman I met spent most of the 30 minutes raging about how guys were looking for "barbie dolls" and btw her ex was a big fat smelly jerk who stole her favorite picture when he left (yes, I kid you not).

Which profile picture are you talking about btw?

I've read the "profile tips". There's nothing impersonal or short and "the more you write" blah, blah. I think a lot of people try to mash their profile into a formula, and read them with the same eye.

When I read a profile I'm trying to get the essence of the person. What are they like in person? If we have one or two interests in common that's great and enough to go on. I don't want things in a list format, I don't want a professionally written profile.

That's what I want, so that's what I offer.

Thanks for the feedback!

And with mine, that's exactly what you get.

Hello

I haven't been overly successful here and am thinking of moving on to one of the other sites.

My friends tell me that my profile is too flighty and no one is going to want to date someone who doesn't view profile creation as SERIOUS BUSINESS.

I did try that, but it didn't work either.

This profile reflects who I am, although for some reason, as stated, I cannot apply the same skills I have with communicating in other forms (business, blogging, story telling) onto anything related to dating.

Honest opinions please.

Thanks!

Whats the silliest thing you fought over when you split?
Posted: 5/5/2012 7:38:57 PM
The fact that I didn't have her boxes stacked right up the garage door and had the audacity to have my bbq there.

Her reasoning was so her father wouldn't have to carry them so far (10' farther).

Two educated articulate people yelling "F**K ME? F**K YOU!" at each other.

Mortifying to think of it, but the neighbours thought it was hilarious.

She and I are friends now. We don't see much of each other (she's remarried with 3 kids) but we do have a laugh over that episode.
