How to deal with heartbreak of ending a marriage? Posted: 12/27/2006 9:44:44 AM
Personally, I'd not resort to making the first move to end a close relationship or a marriage. Make another effort to talk to her, like your life depended on it. Seek professional help and visit a marriage counselor. You said it yourself: she's a wonderful woman with many good qualities. It seems to me that she's unhappy. BUT, if you really - really want to end your marriage then do as the poet says: “I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.” Alfred, Lord Tennyson Ease the pressure on your mind and think of something else, that will fill the void she leaves behind. Immerse yourself in work! Do something that reflects you, do something creative, something that you'll be proud of. Find your real self! May next year bring you happiness and love, which we all deserve so much! Mike

I'll review yer profile...you won't regret it. Posted: 7/13/2006 12:14:48 PM
NoMoreRegrets Thanks for taking the time (again) to take a look at my profile. I know that my presence at POF lacks more photos - and the ones I have are not very representative of me. I will address this issue ASAP. Thanks again. You're doing us a BIG favor by spotting the weakpoints in our profiles. I believe I speak for all of us whose profiles you put under the microscope, when I say THANKS! Your efforts are very much appreciated! Peace Mike

What is your recipe for a long lasting relationship? Posted: 7/10/2006 12:54:20 PM
In my opinion it all boils down to what each partner expects to receive from the current relationship. I believe, that the key to a long lasting relationship is a multitude of elements, very unique to each relationship. But if I were to name the single most important element upon which a succcessful relationship builds, that would be plain and simply: RESPECT. If you don't respect your partner as a woman (or man) but most importantly as a human being you won't get it in return. Also, if you don't start from scratch and actually don't take anything for granted and are willing to consciously help build the relationship you want, word by word, action by action and don't omit even the smallest detail, then you might get what you asked for. In other words, elaborate communication and commitment would be another asset to a succesful and long lasting relationship. Good fortune to all Mike

question for men! Posted: 7/10/2006 7:49:30 AM
Well, you can definitely say, OP falls into the "challenging women" category, as far as reading her profile is concerned :) But to answer the original question... Yes, sure! I have always been attracted to difficult, challenging women. I suppose that's because something "earned" the hard way has more value than anything else. True women are very competitive and demanding. BUT, if a challenging woman is toying with men, than that's a whole different story. Let's take for example Scarlett O' Hara. I couldn't possibly bear a woman like that. She'd drive me insane after a while (although I've been told that my patience is monumental) - hell, she even drove Rhett Butler nuts! :) Peace Mike

Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 7/7/2006 6:20:19 AM
Oh, absolutely! I do read the whole profile. I like it if somebody has taken the time to write more than 2 sentences and I read it very carefully. Actually you can't get to know people from reading their profiles. But it CAN give you a very good idea of who they are and what they like/want, if it's well written. On the other hand I'm hugely disappointed whenever I see a pretty face and no words to back it up. It then seems to me that this person has much more to offer on the outside than on the inside... Now don't get me wrong. I like pretty faces, but they have to show much more to be taken seriously by people who look for more. Even a shy person can write much more than 2 sentences. Peace Mike

NoMoreRegrets, I am most grateful to you! I didn't even realize, that my profile was full of contradictions. Thanks for pointing that out! I have changed the profile according to your suggestions and added two more photos. I would value your comment on the 2nd version of my profile. Thank you!

Hi NoMoreRegrets... Now, that I've finished "fine-tuning" my profile, would you be so kind as to take a look at it? Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind! I value frankness! It's the first time I'm doing this (online dating). Thanks a lot!
