Ron Pauls HR 1207. Will your rep sign it?

This has been Ron Paul's passion for a very long time and I happen to agree with him. I have already shot off letters to my representatives... don't know how much good it will do.

Are there male chubby chasers/BBW lovers in los angeles? Guys and Gals what is your experience with
Posted:
10/12/2009 11:12:46 PM
There are some clubs mostly in Orange County that have dances every week for BBW's. If you Google it you shall see.
There is the Butterfly Lounge, in Costa Mesa. There is also Club Bounce in Long Beach.
Never been to either, so I cannot recommend them. Never saw the need to. I do know people that have gone and liked it a lot.

trusting a long distance relationship....
Posted:
10/6/2009 6:04:54 PM
- She lives four hours away (another STATE, actually) and you don't have a phone number for her??? WHY??? Have you even met this girl? Did you drive to AZ, or has she come to Cali? Have you done the horizontal mambo??? You may just be a booty call, cyber sex friend, etc. ... don't know, but its just ODD you are in a relationship but don't have her number.
Umm, yeah!
I am in a long distance relationship, and I have all his numbers. We text and call all the time, which is why the relationship actually works. We spend time together when we can, and we vacation together. It works because we are both busy people, and are secure enough and have the trust to make it work. He travels a lot for work anyway, even if we lived together, I wouldn't see him constantly to begin with.
I am pretty sure her aunt has a phone, most people do. If she has internet, she surely has a phone. It's not as if people in Yuma are living in caves. You say you have been cheated on, well... if you make stupid choices like this, I can see why. If you can't contact her, she is not the person you are dating.
And yes, stay in school.

Why are there no hippie chicks on pof?
Posted:
9/30/2009 6:02:59 PM
Now, when you say "hippie chicks..." Are you looking for women in their late 50's/early 60's that might have gone to Woodstock? Or are you just looking for women that don't shave their legs and armpits?

Too much honesty
Posted:
7/13/2009 3:01:18 AM
It's best not to vomit your personal life all over someone when you first meet them, you need to establish a relationship of trust.
Someone who does this, does not have very well defined personal boundaries.

Older women: would you date a man old enough to be your son?
Posted:
7/13/2009 2:56:11 AM
You just have no idea how attractive a young man in his twenties, isn't... when you have had one come out of your vagina.
Just sayin'.
And Raiderfan is right, they are chasing the cougars, not the other way around.
If you wanted to date one and decided it would be best not to see each other, what would hold you back?
His age and a sense of common decency.

What makes you think a female is going to invest her time, her energy, her emotion, and her health to screw some stranger, just because he has a story to justify it?
If you want to sleep with another woman, hire one. Don't hurt someone else in your quest to fulfill your silly fantasies.

would you date a guy that's works out of town?
Posted:
6/17/2009 7:18:45 PM
I do... and he lives out of town as well. He travels about 80% of the time for his work, and we spend as much time as we can together. I go there, he comes here between gigs.
I would rather have him, as much as I can, than anyone else all the time. If you have good communication with someone, time apart is not such an insurmountable issue.

When I get those pictures, first I forward them to my army of gay boyfriends, then I attach their e-mail to a Craigslist account and post them in M4M Casual Encounters. If they are silly enough to include their phone number, I post that too.

Must not have messaged users looking for intimate encounters or sex.
Posted:
6/5/2009 6:58:02 PM
I am really sick of hearing married men complain about their wives and the lack of sex they are getting from them. There's no passion? Well that's a two way street, and you have to participate and not take your problems elsewhere. If you want to put passion back in your life, that is what your wife is for. Go to counseling, work it out, or leave. Appropriate to this site... fish or cut bait.
A lot of women
and
men lose their sex drives, if they want to keep their other partner and live up to their commitments, they work on it and make do. Amazingly enough... not all of them sneak around behind their spouses back. Just the evil, scum-sucking ones.
Do not expect the other women in the universe to slake your lust. We have important things to do, and none of them includes providing you with free wet holes for your enjoyment.

Financially Secure
Posted:
6/5/2009 6:47:11 PM
I am much more interested in being with a man who loves me and who I love.
You know, I used to think that too, until I got pregnant and my husband did not work for 6 years, nor did he lift a finger to help put with the housework when I was working. Added to that, he was financially irresponsible. He was really happy to spend the money that come into the house on stuff we did not need. My retirement savings will not soon recover from that.
A woman IS a resource, if you want to perpetuate your genetic code, and no, it is not equal between men and women.
Exactly. If you want to have children, it's incumbent on you to make sure you can support them, and moreover... someone has to take care of them. If the wife earns more and the husband stays at home and that works, fine. But that is generally not how it is.
I own my own home free and clear. There is food on the table and the lights are on. I cannot afford to support someone else and for me to pursue a relation that might take things away from the kids I need to support, is just plain stupid.
If you can't pull your own weight or stand on your own, financially, emotionally or otherwise... you are not a good candidate to hold up half of a relationship.

CA AB 1185: new birth certificates for transgenders.
Posted:
6/4/2009 10:43:24 PM
The PBS documentary series has done a really great job of covering it, in "Sex-Unknown." If you get a chance, it's worth a look see.
I found it on youtube... along with the Learning Channel's documentary "Intersex."
They are both very good, and talk to the people who have the condition. It's not an easy thing to deal with.

CA AB 1185: new birth certificates for transgenders.
Posted:
6/4/2009 7:40:51 PM
I posted this on another site and someone brought up a good point: how about those born with both genitalia (hermaphroditism)?
The prevailing theory on this now, is to let the child grow up for a while and see which they identify with. This has been spearheaded by Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling. Babies were routinely given gender assignment surgery at birth. Some were not identifying with the choices made for them by others. There have been more than a few who have committed suicide over this matter.
Allthingscnsdrd and Ace, all that biology talk is making me hot. Y'all know how that science talk makes me swoon.
What if an Heir is to the first born male of a line.... And a woman had a sex change and changed her birth certificate to create that heir? If it was worth billions... ????? Just saying.
Primogeniture is pretty much out the window now, one would hope.
And he'd always felt more like a woman than a man. Hearing someone like that talk openly about their life, you can't help but appreciate the personal difficulties they face.
It's an emotionally and physically painful process. By the time most people decide to do it, they have gone through a lot. It's not covered by insurance and it's hellishly expensive.
But what's with the XYZ I read about? There was even a picture of the result--and it wasn't pretty. I remember the caption very clearly--it was "Jojo, the dog-faced boy."
Fedor Jeftichew, the Jo-Jo of which you speak, had hypertrichosis. There are a few causes of this, it can be congenital, caused by genetic changes on chromosome 17 , or it can be acquired and it's usually a very bad sign if you develop it. Usually it signals a malignant growth.
There is no Z chromosome. The chromosomal disorders that relate to gender, such as Klinefelter's or Triple X are trisomies (three instead of two) that include an extra X or Y. There is also Turner's syndrome which is a monosomy, where there is only an X.
Be that as it may, in the absence of the testosterone bath, we would all come out with female characteristics, regardless of our chromosomes.
This is true. Humans are protogynous. In the womb we all begin as female, then hormones in utero at 11 weeks create the male characteristics.
The intersex conditions are a fairly specialized area of study, but it's quite fascinating. The PBS documentary series has done a really great job of covering it, in "Sex-Unknown." If you get a chance, it's worth a look see.

Well, I think that just because you not a slut, does not make you a prude.
Just because I don't want to have sex with anyone wandering by, does not mean that I have inhibitions or issues regarding sex. It just means I am being wise and selective.
I am not about to think or do anything differently, to please someone else, let alone a man, unless I see it's reasonable or a good idea. If someone does not like me the way I am, they may feel free to avoid me. In fact, I would prefer they did!
I will do the same.

Her message makes her out to be bitter and lonely and friendless.
I agree with this! There is a lot of anger in that message and it looks like a big, red flag.
Painting an entire gender with a broad brush, is somehow worse if you are a member of that group. If you feel the need to make yourself stand out by doing this, you are one sad puppy. And worse, if you are doing it to impress some random man... there is a special place in hell for you.
Like men, some women can be pains. That is not gender based. And like men, some women can be great. We are all individuals, we do not think, feel, believe, or do the same things.
I particularly resent this:
These ladies are behind me (I'm usually a decade ahead in major trends) with their old-fashioned thinking about women, the dichotomy about good girls don't and bad girls do (madonna/whore complex).
Not all of us spend all of our time worrying about that. Some of us just have boundaries, values, or morals that guide our decision making ability. To reduce it down to this, insinuates that it's just a game theory and does not involve choices that we might be making as humans.
She is just telling you she puts out and tooting her own horn. She knows sex sells and is marketing to the lowest common denominator.
The rest of us are not behind her.

Why do women get ready for first meetings and men don't
Posted:
6/4/2009 12:51:22 PM
Hey, it's a great indicator of how much effort they are going to put into the relationship later on.
When you start to date someone, generally you are on your best behavior. So if this is the best they have to offer, take careful note.

I love men with facial hair... if it's neatly groomed and well taken care of. I don't want to find bits of your lunch or pests in there.
I find the soul patch to be the silliest bit of facial hair ever. What, can't grow a real beard?

Would you (ladies) agree that this site is female oriented?
Posted:
5/27/2009 2:28:19 PM
Oh wow, did you actually expect to get responses from women with that whining profile of discontent? Oh my holy hell, are you delusional?
to get any benefit from this site you have to be a white male awkward nerd
Oh yeah, and PHP is a chick magnet. Honey, I have news for your, your profile screams nerd. You should be a God here.
I've spent my life trying to throw off the yoke of nerdism and I think that is a GOOD thing.
Umm, it's not working.
A better idea would be to express interest in the kinds of things a man you are attracted to is interested in and hope that he chooses you based on many aspects of who you are both mental and physical if is his prerogative.
Because a great way to find someone compatible with you, is to pretend that you like things you don't really care about and pretend to be someone you aren't.
I get this strange feeling that the creator of this site is jealous of all other men and in a way this site is designed to try and make men look bad.
If anyone is making men look bad, it's a subsector of the males that wallow in the stereotypes. They players, the men looking for intimate encounters, the married men looking to have an affair. Blame them, not Marcus.
If it was up to me I would change the colors of this site or something because it is designed to appeal to women assuming women know what they want. Do women know what they want?
Yes, we do, and apparently, it's not you.
I have experimented and I can get plenty of responses when I have a nice picture posted, but that is not the way a dating site should be run.
In another thread here, you claimed that the most important thing for you, is to find a skinny woman. Don't blame others if they are as shallow as you are.
Edit: As an addendum to this post... the user has left the system. Maybe he did not like our answers!

My significant other lives in Denver, I am in California. We see each other and travel when we can. We do this because we prefer each other's company to the company of others. It's not like I have not tried to date someone closer, I just don't click with anyone that I have met around here, and I love that man stupid.

The California Collapse
Posted:
5/20/2009 10:02:14 PM
In the last three years the nation's voters as a whole, and California's in particular have resoundingly rejected the Republican Party's message.
Well, that must be why we have a republican governor...
Oh, and last night's election results might contradict that statement. The truly amusing thing here, is how the Democrats painted the election returns... I heard some bimbo on the news saying, "Californians are clearly telling us they want us to make these kinds of decisions!"
Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Just sayin'.
I have no affection for either party, being a dyed in the wool, long time Libertarian. When the economy was booming and Republicans were in the top spots (Wilson, Deukmajian), we had a surplus. We blew that on whatever.
The problem is, that the entire economy is down... part of the state tax revenue comes from the business in the state. When business is down, so is that income. Regulating businesses out of the state, or making taxes high enough so they want to leave... is not helping the situation at all.
The state government does not seem to understand what most private citizens realize... when less money comes in, it's time to look at where you can cut costs to keep the household running.

History, Genealogy & Secret Societies.
Posted:
5/8/2009 4:25:45 PM
I am pretty interested in Masonic History and the Knights Templar history as well.
However, I think think the rest of it is purely speculative.
In particular the Mayan calendar date, polar magnetic change hysteria. As a scientist, I just don't think there is sufficient evidence for anything of that nature happening. It would have been observed before. Added to that, the Mayan Doomsday Prophecy is based on a calendar which astronomers believe hasn’t been designed to calculate dates beyond 2012. I put that right over with the Large Hadron Collider causing mini black holes theory. If you have a good working idea of scientific method, and a solid basic education in science, it's pretty easy to see why this is silly.

I was engaged to be married to two Australian men at different times in my life. One when I was 18, the other at 41. Both of them died before we married.
I dated an Aussie and he got in a car accident.
I am thinking it's a good idea to stay away from the Australian men. I think I am their jinx.

To get a Males's perpective if Boy/Men feel di-advantaged when it comes to dating.
Posted:
5/8/2009 4:11:50 PM
Well, if you want a male perspective on this, you came to the right place. Since men answer all the time in here.
Listen, we all are who we are and someone is going to like it, and someone isn't. No sense in stressing out. There is a lid for every pot, I firmly believe. So just be who you are and find someone that loves you that way.

Some women like to play games, just like some men do. It's universally obnoxious.
No sense in even thinking about it, because even if you got someone away from someone else... they are the kind of person that would leave you someone else without thinking twice about it.

Just know that however, she is... that's how she is and you cannot change her. If it is bothering you now, it's likely going to piss you off intensely later.
Added to this, if you cannot give compliments, you are going to suck as a parent. Kids need a lot of encouragement.
Honestly, she should be complimenting you Cornelius, you are a great guy!

Something wrong with MSN chat
Posted:
5/5/2009 1:07:51 PM
Because often men who move immediately to chat get sexual right away. We don't want to read it.
Also, I am on the run a good deal of the time. Between work and class, I use this invention called the telephone. I just do not have the time or patience to chat endlessly online.
MSN is not the most popular chat program either. I find yahoo to be far more ubiquitous. However, if you use Meebo, you can log onto several chat programs at once.

am i single?
Posted:

i have regular casual sex with this one girl, but there is no emotional attachment or commitment.
Oops, time to change profiles and let me tell you why... you have outed yourself as a complete jerk that is willing to use someone for your own selfish needs.
I know this may escape you, but it is possible to go for long periods without having sex with someone. No one has ever died from lack of sex.
i am looking to find a long-term partner and will try online dating.
I would argue that someone who uses women for sex and does not seem to care about them is not good relationship material.
i do consider myself single and will stop having the casual sex as soon as i find a partner.
Try living life and making choices in the right order. Stop the casual sex thing, work on your issues and then enter into a relationship. Right now you are a bad monogamy risk.
how would you feel if a guy said they were single in their profile but then you found out they had a ****buddy, but are willing to do away with it for a long-term relationship?
Before you even finished that sentence, any intelligent woman would be out of there so fast it would make your head swim. If that is your strategy, my advice is to look for very, very stupid women.
There is a huge difference between having a d*ck, and being one.

age difference,,does it matter??
Posted:

If you will think back clearly to the time when you passed between the ages of 20 and 30... were you anywhere near the same person that you were? Or did you grow and mature into someone rather different? Hell yes, everyone changes their mind quickly when they are younger. This is why relationships should be with peers and contemporaries. As you are growing and maturing, you can do it together and preferably in the same direction.
Age difference does matter when the people are younger. Not so much as we get older and our personalities are fully formed and we know more of what we want.
Added into that, when you are choosing "prefer not to say" under wanting children... don't you think that a young woman of 24 should have the chance to have her own family and children? Unless you want a woman that is going to leave when she is fed up with watching your kids and wants to have her own life, I would suggest you look for someone that is a closer to your age and situation.

do any women really want to meet someone?

This is a clear cut case of "you never have a second chance to make a first impression. Your profile should be a marketing tool and you have committed an enormous "FAIL." Take that sucker to profile review, now. Aside from the rampant ellipsis abuse, you cannot spell very well and have no sort of idea where the CAPITAL letters or punctuations marks are supposed to reside. Your ability to communicate properly is severely in question. Yes, your profile is full of negativity. You come off as being, well... sort of a jerk (<---- note the correct use of the ellipsis marks).
It's one thing to be your own man dude, but it's quite another to be a pig headed fruitcake and expect everyone to fall at your feet and worship the greatness that is you. At some point, it is necessary to conform to general society in some small way.
Here it is staring you in the face, and you blame women for not giving
you
a fair shake. Fair only comes to town once a year and it's full of scary, tattooed carneys that operate all the rides. Nobody likes a whiner.
Welcome to dating, where physical attraction is a consideration! Where whiners are ferreted out and reviled. Where you intended to let your freak flag fly (and hey I am down with that), but it turns out that they all look suspiciously like red flags.
Tine covered a lot of ground here and she was right on the mark, but I can add a few things to her comments:
Your profile says "a few extra pounds." Your face and build belie this. Just the same, a full length pic is in order if you want to attract anyone.
I am only going to say this once, and no more. It's been something that bothers me in men of my age group for a while now. I know I am going to get flamed by a hoard of hostile ZZ Topp fans, but I am doing it anyway. Some women do not like facial hair at all, but most women who like it, prefer it to be neat and
closely
trimmed. Very few women have a desire to be accosted by a massive crumb catcher. I personally find it more than slightly repulsive.
Finally, I have never once met a woman with a Santa Claus fetish, and I know a lot of women very active in the fetish community. It's not a big selling point, regardless of how proud you are of your ability to grow a manly beard.
If you expect to come down anything else aside from a chimney, think about it.

Why is physical age such a problem when truth is asked for
Posted:

Congratulations... that is one of the most arrogant profiles I have ever seen. Take that thing to profile review, now.
I still have the prowess of a late 30-early 40 man, and I do not intend to slow down, or decrease my prowess.
We don't want to know about your prowess.
I need some advice on whether to lie on my profile, or just, well, patience is not one of my strongpoints (sic).
You had best be learning to be patient, because it's going to take you forever with that attitude.
I am 57 years old, but I do not look or act like my age. I have not, nor do I expect to find a woman in my age group who can keep up with me.
Judging by the photos, none of them close up enough to tell what you really look like anyhow... if someone told you that you did not look your age, they were being very nice to you.
While we are on the subject of lying... yes, if you lie on your profile, we will wonder what else you lie about. That's a deal breaker for most of the female population.
Let me tell you what is between the lines:
I am looking for a woman who is able to keep up, not poke along and expect me to push her wheelchair.
You are going to leave someone who does not do what you want them to do, when you want them to do it. And it's nice to know that you won't be there should something happen to a future mate, that puts them in a wheelchair.
I guess, if she were my "soulmate", that she would love good food, real food, steak and taters, not buying into the govt propaganda about nutrition, knowing that everything in moderation is fine. Activity uses calories, nuff said.
You don't want a woman that has weight issues, and since we know you are not patient, you would not be should she develop one.
Very active socially and sexually
A great many women, myself included, scroll right past any profile that has to mention your sexuality. Before you even meet someone in person, that is exceedingly presumptuous on your part. Just because you can still get it up at 57, does not make you any great prize. There is a difference between having a d*ck and being one. It's not a marketing point.
That you chose to put that in your interests, and put your interests in the profile, just says you do not follow directions well, or are not detail oriented.
You are 57 and a student? It's one thing to take classes, but one would hope you have a degree and a career by now. This says you have not made the wisest choices in your life. And if you are looking for a much younger women, let me clue you in... if they are looking a lot older, they are looking for
security
.
The complete lack of paragraph form in the profile, does not scream college student. It makes it visually confusing to read and I bet hardly anyone finishes it when they make an attempt. Truthfully, as someone who works as professional writer and editor, I would have torn that to shreds had it come to my desk.
You lack self introspection. It concerns me that you do not seem to realize while you were breaking your arm patting yourself on the back, the whole profile comes off as selfish, arrogant and unpleasant.

Are any of you the product of a single sex education?
Posted:

There are many studies that single sex is better for children to learn, especially girls... because its less likely to occur that gender stereotypes about girls not being good at math or science are instilled in a same-sex environment. They showed that the girls would often perform better and have more self-confidence in a same-sex environment.
She is dead on about this, there have been a lot of studies. Boys are more disruptive in classes and get more attention than the girls do. So the boys are harassed for not being more like the girls. Both genders are distracted.
Boys might be better off in same sex education as well. A 4 year research project that went on at Stetson University in Florida under Professor Kathy Piechura-Couture showed:
boys in coed classes: 37% scored proficient
girls in coed classes: 59% scored proficient
girls in single-sex classes: 75% scored proficient
boys in single-sex classes: 86% scored proficient
This was using the exact same curriculum, at the same public school. Some classrooms where coed, other were not.
Cambridge University got similar results in 2005 and took it one further, they found girls in a same sex educational setting, were far more likely to study advanced math, computer sciences, physics and biological science than their coed peers. While boys in the all male environment studied more art, drama, music and foreign languages that their coed brethren.
There is also a great book that any parent of a girl should read, called "Reviving Ophelia." The book is about girls coming of age in a culture that is poisonous to their self esteem and personal image. The images they see is an unrealistic standard of beauty and often highly sexualized. They learn to value themselves for looks and sexuality, instead of what is inside of them. It becomes the way they deal with the world.
There is another book, "The War on Boys," that talks about the male end of the spectrum, and problems that come with it. Young men are encouraged to become more like girls and modify their "anti-social" behavior. While they need guidance, self discipline and a sense of respect for others, they also need more love and understanding than they are getting.
Whatever you decide, I am sure it will be the thoughtful choice. We all want the very best for our children.

I gave the guy I am with now, a second chance. Pretty much for the first time in my life. Not that anything heinous had ever happened between us, we were just going in different directions at the time.
Had he or I done something horrible to the other, I am pretty sure that we would not be together now. We had remained close friends for three years after the break up. I was the one who approached him and I was pleasantly surprised to find him amenable.
I must say it's turned out well, but we are both very communicative people.

Why Women say 1 thing and act another way
Posted:
4/21/2009 1:29:53 AM
What I like so much about this thread, is that he has managed to lump all women into one category,
and
start yet another poor, put upon, nice guy thread... Very efficient. Not many people can get that much done in so little text.
I have news for you, and listen well...
Not all women say and do the same things, we are all individuals and are as such, different. In much the same way that men are all individual and unique.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the good men that you speak of have the morals to not treat you like that and you can't have both... Pick one.
You come into "Ask A Girl" and try to tell women what to do, how to think, choose, and lump us into one group and you wonder at why some of the responses are sarcastic? Are you insane, or have you received a severe blow to the head recently?
Good men allow women to make their own choices, of both behavior and action. They do not seek to control them.
Also, the reason that "women do not like nice guys" is aptly demonstrated by your last post:
But in the past 9 years I have done more and seen more than most will see in a single life time yet you want to right from the start judge and persecute me for a question... Swing that judgmental pendulum back the other way and look at yourselves before judging me. If you look at it I was asking a question to better my understanding, not openly attacking anyone... You want to attack me then attack me... But don't hide behind false pretenses to do so.
If you don't see that the tone of your original post was hostile and bitter, you are simply just not very bright.
Now, since you don't get it, let me give you the 411... Most women want confident men, it's that simple. We don't want pansies that we can walk all over, that get resentful and bitter when they are not getting their way. We usually only accept tantrums that come from toddlers, not boys masquerading as grown men.
You are very bitter and it shows. You can say whatever you think sounds good, but intent shows through. You are hypersensitive and attacking when
you
don't like the answers you got.
