What u guys are really looking for in a girl?
Posted: 8/20/2009 3:06:48 PM
I would say best friend and lover at the same time.

which means sharing some similar interests. or be willing to learn mine/teach theirs.

I personally like someone who has a spirit of adventure and a bit of ambition.

I always hate when i see girls go to university/college only to end up working a dead end job because they dont want to bother getting into their field.

I would consider it a bonus if they are blond ;)

and to get really nit picky,
i am bothered if someone is allergic to 18 different things, is extremely picky and have big emotional baggage that stop them from doing things in life.

Can men deal with NOT getting blowjobs?
Posted: 8/13/2009 7:28:17 AM
how could you enjoy it if the other person didn't like doing it. I would rather not get any if it means my partner has to do something she dosnt' enjoy doing. So as long as everything else is good i can live without.

European men vs North American
Posted: 8/11/2009 12:37:27 PM
i dont know how anyone can generalize all europeans together.

if there is one thing europeans hate it's being compared to their neighbouring country, there is a huuuge difference between a french, german, italian, greek and bulgarian guy. if you go to europe and tell a german he is the same as a french person you are not going to make many friends.
there are huge culture differences not to mention physical differences between the different countries, a typical scandianvian man or woman tend to be taller and blonder and heck, even less hairy than a mediterranean for example.

as for how good they are at sex, well since i was born in scandinavia i would like to say that we are of course, naturally, the best.

Has the Economy affected you?
Posted: 8/7/2009 11:41:00 AM
me not so much, i had a second job that they ended due to the economy but i was planning on quitting it anyway but not for a few months as i was using it for extra income to splurge with.
however i do have a few friends who lost their job but has since gotten another, some have had pay cuts but overall there hasn't been that many life changes.

main thing is i know my friends are a lot more penny-wise when it comes to doing activities which cost money so unfortunately a few trips have been cancelled.

Eharmony - Knowing What You Are Buying ?
Posted: 5/25/2009 1:59:21 PM
i've got mixed feelings from eharmony,
i've gotten lots of matches. you can check on the filter how far away people can be, but only to a minimum of 100km which i think is still stretching it a bit, i think they should have better filters for that.

the only fatal flaw with it is that people still really only care about what the other person looks like when they decide to do communciation.
there is also the problem with not knowing who is a member which i think makes it that way too many of your "matches" are not real.

but i think their personality profile is better than nothing and the people i have done open communication with would be great friends if nothing else.

i do find that people who are on it and paying are a lot more serious and i've gotten more dates from that than on here.

in fact the last person i dated was from eharmony and i would say that she was closer to being "the one" than anyone else.

Circumcised vs Un-Circumcised...
Posted: 5/21/2009 7:40:54 AM
It’s pretty obvious there are no good reasons to have it done.

Only reasons I see on here are people saying “oh well, it’s just skin, and i think it’s cleaner”

And really, the only reason why people do is really only due to cultural and social reasons.

But just because it’s tradition doesn’t make it right. There are no medical reasons to have it done, no informed doctor should recommend it and let’s be honest here the only reason why people defend it on here is because they are cut and therefore want that to be the accepted norm.

Sure, on occasion there are people who are uncut who need it done later on cause of complications, yeah it may suck, but should that be the reason to remove it to begin with? No you deal with it as it comes. Like any sane person. You don’t cut away the breast tissue of a young girl to avoid her getting breast cancer.

As for lowering risks of infections? Please, it’s such a low percentage that it’s barely measurable, besides, if people use normal safe sex practices there is no need to worry, everything else is fear mongering.

Is it cleaner, perhaps, but again, silly reason, you don’t cut away the folds of a vagina because it may trap odors.

So, it is in essence unnecessary surgery.

Curious about peoples success rate on here...
Posted: 5/19/2009 12:34:48 PM
I've been on here before but just recently started on again.

i would say if you are serious, you need to go to places like eharmony where both parties have to pay.
since this site is free i can't complain, but success rate on finding a person on here is a bit on the lower side. I've met a few people though but nothing serious.

Circumcised vs Un-Circumcised...
Posted: 5/19/2009 8:39:02 AM
First and foremost, the illogical conclusions by some people is mindblowing.

Let’s look at this with a bit of logic and comparisons shall we.

having covered this in human sexuality classes and had big discussions i see the same poitns over and over again.

First. Is it a necessary part of the body. No, it’s not crucial to live obviously, you can have a happy life without it, much like you can live without a fingernail or your pinky toe. Had you been born without it you probably wouldn’t really know what you are missing.

Does it serve a purpose. Yes, yes it does. Otherwise it wouldn’t be there. some of the reasons include protecting the head, keeping it moist, aiding in lubrication when sexually aroused and various other purposes. There are also a ton of nerve endings in the foreskin.

Does it cause harm. On rare occasions it can, it can be too tight and cause pain if it is forced back. Is this a normal thing? No. by no means and it can be corrected easily if required. In some tests the foreskin has shown to be more susceptive for virus intakes, with something like a 0.01% better chance. This by no means make it more safe to have sex being circumcised.

Does it make you more hygienic? I hardly think so. There is absolutely no reason why it should. I don’t know any man who doesn’t generally spend more time cleaning his genitals in the shower than any other part of his body.

So what does it compare to on a woman.. well the closest comparison would be the clitoral hood. So in essence it would be the same thing as cutting it off. But why don’t we do that. Well, because that would be female genital mutilation and is illegal.

So why do it? Well as far as I can tell there are 3 reasoning people have on here to why they do it
1) They think it looks prettier
2) They think it’s cleaner
3) They had it done so their kid should have it done too to “fit in”
The first point is a personal one, no one can argue against that. Much like you can’t argue if someone finds baldness to be sexy.

The second reason is just plain stupid. IF you don’t clean yourself no matter if you are circumcised or not you have bigger problems to overcome.

The third reason is just plain backward thinking. That’s the same reasoning they use in some parts of the world to perform the cruel inhumane ritual of lopping off the clitoris. Just because you had it done dosn't mean it's a better way. Learn from the past dont just copy it.

Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 5/10/2009 7:31:41 AM
Being tall myself, at 6'5" i can tell you why i gladly date short women. simply put there are signficantly more shorter women than tall ones in the dating pool. This means that the likelyhood of the persons personality being a match to mine is greater in the pool of shorter women.

I dont narrow my searches on height but go through the profiles and see if anything catches my eye, i dont even notice how tall they are. I have though gotten some replies back stating that I am infact too tall. =/

Why would someone say they want to be friends?
Posted: 5/8/2009 11:30:11 AM
From my own experiences i think it's perfectly valid to be just friends.

Sometimes after dating you realize you dont have the right chemistry, but that dosnt mean you dont like them as friends. So unless you only dated someone for the sex part and not for who the person is i dont see any reason why you can't be friends.

In fact I have a couple of friends that way. as long as you are honest about your intentions and dont take advantage of people it can be done.

Can a relationship work out if the woman does the chasing?
Posted: 4/15/2009 9:03:50 AM
I see no problems with girls contacting guys and i personally would not be turned off from it.
for me it means they have ambition and are not just sitting on their hands waiting around.

besides i may miss their profile and it would be a shame if a good match came up and we never contacted.

wich laptop will you recomend
Posted: 12/10/2007 8:57:17 PM
Ok the LG is in a completely different catagory than the others so it's like comparing two economy models with a luxury one.

the LG is considerably faster and is a premium notebook. It would run circles around those HPs for a number of reasons including a processor that's probably about twice as fast, a video card that you can actually game with and various other neat technologies such as intel turbmo memory for faster boot up times and faster loading of your most commonly used programs and of course it also has bluetooth and a longer lasting battery. If that wasn't enough the screen resolution on the LG is personally my biggest selling point. the screen displays 1680x1050 compared to 1280x800 on the HP 15" or 1440 x1050 on the 17" this means you can have more information on the screen and the pictures look sharper.

The LG's also do not have as much "bloatware" meaning pre-loaded and useless trial software that the HP's do so out of hte box it will run considerably better.

LG's are also considerably better built than an HP. In fact, The R500 carried by futureshop is a model that normally carries a 3 year warranty from LG but due to Futureshop wanting to sell PSP's they opted to get the model made with only a 1 year warranty.

AMD puts all their chips on Barcelona
Posted: 9/18/2007 8:47:40 AM
AMD is in deep trouble. This is what they get for having greedy corporate managers who wanted to cash in on mergers. They, like every other company in history, thinks by merging that they will win a lot of marketshare and technolgy advanced and also save tons of money. However, as history has proved, the chances of a merger being a success is practically nill. Had they not merged with ATI they would probably be fine and had the Barcelona chip out in june when it was supposed to be.

This is the reason they are in trouble. They are atleast 6 months behind in both processor and graphics technology. Their cost is high and there has been no savings.

Although AMD will never die, they are going to be on a short leash for a while and will probably have to be content with the bottom end of the market. I would imagine it will take them atleast a few years before they emerge from there. As of now what they compete on is not their performance, but rather price, something they have always done.

We need AMD for competition but at the same time, this is what you get for being stupid in business. A much more logical thing for them to have done is a strategic partnership with ATI if they really wanted to do more with graphics.

Female Circumcision - Wrong !!
Posted: 4/26/2007 6:37:44 AM
Just out of curiosity Dave,

if you advocate male circumcision as a way to help curb HIV being spread in Africa as per the reports you showed.



Which is a laugh. It may come as a shock to many in the west but the rest of the world does NOT live like we do. The MAJORITY of the population of Africa live in conditions which haven't changed in thousands of years. Doctors? Hospitals? Most are LUCKY if there's a clinic within a 5 day walk. Condoms aren't used because many don't have any concept of how babies are made let alone how disease is transmitted. The idea of "anesthetics, proper surgical tools and antibiotics" is foreign if they have a major medical condition. A tribal / religious "rite" in this case FGM is done by a bunch of hopped up old ladies, late at night with rusty razor blades, carrying on some time honored tradition


woudlnt' this be exactly the same then for males being circumcised?

besides condoms many times are not used because some whack religion comes in and tells them that wearing condoms is like sleeping with the devil or some equivalent BS.


yes there will be some that may medically need a circumcision later in life. however that percentage is extremely small. Wouldn't it be more wise to have someone choose it instead of forcing ones beliefes onto the baby? at the moment we condone male circumcision and use the excuses now of some medical benefit which is largely unproven. (and funny enough, there is the .
Yet, we express disgust because of FGM because we know better.

i wonder what it will be like in the future if male circumcision will be seen to be as barbaric as FGM appears to us now. after all, male circumcision is really only practiced in undeveloped countries and US and Canada.

Gun Laws..
Posted: 4/23/2007 2:01:36 PM
so why do you oppose the views of gun laws? you have then not made any arguments for it.
you want guns to protect yourself. if you say i make it up. then please explain yourself. if you are for guns, and like to have guns around and want peopel to be able to "Defend" themselves you must therefore want more citizens to have guns, hence more people owning guns and therefore more guns in the system.


if all you say is that gun laws dont eliminate the gun problem then do you want no gun laws at all?
i said borderline paranoid. which it is, when one is afraid of others and need to have a gun to defend themselves in a country such as canada.

again. you introduce absolutely no argument against guns. just because you find the procedure troublesome is no excuse.

Gun Laws..
Posted: 4/22/2007 8:19:18 PM
[Yes by all means, let's be logical. Less guns means less gun crime, agreed. The fact is all the anti-gun laws put in place to date have led to what we have today, an astronomical increase in gun crime. We don't need another law, we need the laws we have now to be enforced. We need the so called civil rights of the gun toting criminals and gangs to be taken away. We need convicted felons to be locked up and when released denied any access to an unaware public. We could permanently brand a violent convict and place them in a situation of constant suspicion and the aware public could deal with them from a vantage point of complete knowledge. I like to know who I'm dealing with.

so because you dont like the laws. you want to introduce more guns into the system. which you can then lock up into your house for that time when a criminal comes barging in so you can protect yourself?
the time it would take to get the gun out of a safe or out of a protected case would be too long to be useful in most situations. secondly. if you are not home.. which is the ideal time to break into someones house and the burgular finds your gun. .well guess what. you just helped those criminals gain another weapon to use on the public. congrats.

and the guns laws dont increase the gun crime. that has to be the most brainless thought thus far. if this was the case, lax states with no gun control would have absolutely no gun crime whatsoever. this is nto the case.
your idea for dealing with criminals is borderline paronoid. afraid of anyone and anything. harsher punishments do not curb crime. again, looking at the states with death sentences hasn't exactly lowered their murder rate now has it.



Actually non lethal guns would be a huge problem to those using them, police and military alike, not to mention the poor criminals using them. Firearms were invented just for that purpose, when I aim at Bambi, I want him to DIE, so when I gut him and cut him up for my freezer he won't be suffering. The REAL problem with guns, is all the wrong people have them because the laws we have now are unenforced, and the courts are swamped with the scum of the earth leaning on their so called civil rights.

the point was not to introduce non lethal guns. but you should be well aware that since guns are only designed to kill they do not serve any useful purpose. as for law enforcement they are actually looking at non lethal weapons now due, heck even the military is. you dont want to kill someone innocent. for hunting purposes.. well if you truly find it to be a "sport" to kill bambi half a kilometer away with a rifle without it having even the slightest clue what is going on, that's your perogative.. however you wouldnt' be using a handgun for this purpose.



So maybe we should change focus, and zero in on the real problem, the criminals and the whole legal industry that has arisen to coddle and protect them. The insane theory that whole segments of society are somehow "victims" and only defending themselves against oppression. If that was true, I claim my rights as a victim of the criminal mentality and reserve the right to defend what is mine and my family. We expect the police to operate in a quagmire of political correctness and civil rights for sub human criminals of all stripes, and wonder why crime continues to rise.

ahh yes we should just go kill everone that will solve the problem right? you can sit with your gun and be all twitchy when anyone comes to the door.
i can't believe you actually believe what you write that you are protecting yourself against oppression? truly. you do not live in nazi germany nor in a war torn region of the world. there are no one who is oppressing you and storing a handgun in your safe is certainly not going to make it safer for you.

crime rises for many reasons.. desperation tends to be the main cause. arming yourself is not going to make it better. we coudl all just live in fear.. make our houses into fortresses and suspect everyone around us to be criminals, but that dosn't sound like a society i want to live in.

Plenty of things are not necessary, but they don't need to be banned. Motorcycles, cigarettes, marriage, 57 flavours of ice cream, are all less useful than efficient firearms. Imagine a world without guns, the criminals preying on us with knives and swords and the law books full of anti-knife legislation preventing us from owning unregistered knives and the bleeding hearts calling for an outright ban on unnecessary cutlery.

Guns unnecessary? As stupid a statement as ever made.


efficient firearms.. yes.. we certainly must have semi automatic hunting rifles.. and handguns.. they are sooooo important in life. what would we ever do without our precious handgun. oh wait. i know.. live life.

again. guns only serve the purpose of killing. we do not need to kill anyone. hunting is one thing and really can be done a lot more sportsmanline with a bow and arrow than a sniper rifle.

as i said before. .guns are super efficient in killing. technically you can kill someone with a spoon if you really want to. may take a while. but you can. people will still kill each other no matter what. but the problem with guns is that it makes it so easy to just pull a trigger.
plus you dont even need to stand in front of the preson. you can drive down the street and spray bullets and hope it hits your intended target. arn't guns just wonderful.

this is why we introduce laws so that automatic weapons and handguns are not available for the public. you can still get your precious hunting rifle and go shoot bambi if you want. i know people living up north need a rifle to protect themselves against bears and what not and besides hunting rifles are not the kind that gangs use. so why, why in the world would you want to have a handgun or even an automatic/semi automatic rifle? i would like to see a convincing argument for this.

Gun Laws..
Posted: 4/20/2007 10:55:23 AM
oook.

let's use a bit of logic shall we.

More guns = more people using them. More people using them = more accidents and heated arguments that turn deadly.

the problem with guns is that it makes it so damm easy to kill someone.


Guns are also an item that is not necessary. There is an extreme remote chance that we would ever need to "rise against the government"

it's funny how gun nuts always start on a rampage on how we should ban automobiles or baseball bats and what not since they can kill.
this has got to be the most boneheaded reply i have ever heard in my life.

these other items have a useful purpose ohter than hurting people. guns were and are designed to do one thing. kill.

s for the article about violence soaring in UK. well guess what.. violence keeps rising no matter where you are when population rise and cultures clash. if you look at the crimes committed you will see where and why tony blair suddenly made the comment that it's "blacks" who commit the violent crimes.. it's not because they are black, it's because of the living conditions and gang warfare.. exactly what happends in canadian cities as well. giving out guns to people is certainly not going to stop that.. and taking guns away may not stop it either.. but it's certainly not going to hinder the process.

think of it as seatbelts in cars.. sure they dont save your life all the time..and deaths in cars may quite easily rise all the time.. that dosnt' mean seat belts dont do anything.

Female Circumcision - Wrong !!
Posted: 4/20/2007 8:26:36 AM
Geez Dave,

for someone who reads a lot you sure dont seem to read much

neither the US nor Canada or any health organization suggests using circumcision as a way to curb HIV. IT even states that in the reports that under no way should circumcision be seen as a method of effectively curbing the spread of HIV but could be used in addition to condoms (which then makes me believe that since you have to use condoms anyway.. what's the point)

Besides..we dont live in Africa. We have free access to condoms.



These procedures are NOT done to enhance the women's sexual experience

do you somehow think male circumcision is done to enhance sexual experience of the male?


would you be in favour of having hood removed from a female if done under the same circumcstances as males? since you so avidly posted earlier that apparently the hood of the clit is more receptive to the HIV virus. for example if parents decided that they think their girl would look prettier with the hood removed.

this is more a general question to everyone really. since most seem to oppose the procedure of completely removing the clit.. this wouldn't be so and would be done under similar conditions as circumcision on males.

the reply she wrote was in regards to your post #54


If you google about a bit you can also find reports that women who are with UNcircumcised have a much higher incidence of infection by HPV - the precursor of ovarian cancers.



in all regards any "health benefits" from any sort of circumcision is not needed in civilized societies as we have ways to quite easily counter them.. may it be washing or simple vaccines. in either case mutilating the body is a bit of an extreme way to go for something that "may" provide a tiny benefit, especially when it's done without the concent of the person.

Female Circumcision, Right or Wrong?
Posted: 4/18/2007 6:46:36 PM
This should be a fairly easy topic.

Anything involving mutilating another being without their consent and full understanding should be banned.

And yes, I call it mutilation as it removes a part of the body. That would be male or female circumcision.

If someone, when they are able to make their own decision, wants to go ahead and do whatever it is they want to do, may it be cutting of their penis or clit that is all fine in my opinion, as long as they do it under their own free will.

Doing any harm to someone under false pretences or because you believe it’s “better” for the person is just ignorant. If it’s not your body, leave it the heck alone.

The cultures that still practice female circumcision I would consider either uneducated or simply barbaric.

If we just sit idly by as people perform atrocities because we don’t want to “interfere” with their culture how will we ever move forward as a whole? Will you just stand idly by as some guy beats his wife into submission because it’s their “culture”? will you let someone take another persons life through revenge killing because it’s part of their “culture”?

I’m all for choices in this world, but this isn’t giving someone a choice when you forcefully mutilate their body.

I’m pretty sure if we put males and females in rooms, without interference from any culture or society and explained to each of them when they were old enough that we will now take a knife to their genitals in order to “improve it” in some matter they will all object.

Female Circumcision, Right or Wrong?
Posted: 4/18/2007 8:48:55 AM
There are many types of female circumcision.
not all of them remove the clitoris.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_circumcision



Clitoridectomy involves the removal or splitting of the clitoral hood, termed "hoodectomy", with or without excision of the clitoris,


however i personally oppose both anyway. i doubt you will find anyone who are into female genital mutilation since it's socially opposed.. however since some parts of the procedure can be compared to male circumcision it is interesting to see the contrast (again, talking about "hoodectormy" )

since most circumcision originated from religious grounds i like this quote


a god who demands that his believers be mutilated and branded on their genitals the same as cattle, is a god of questionable ethics.

most poeple tend to be tall in the legs so when you lay down everything still matches up.

besides.. thinking about it, is there any position that will not work because of height differences? only one i can think off is doggy style and even then that's not really a problem as the guy can just spread the legs to get down further.

Circumsized or not circumsized
Posted: 3/14/2007 7:53:46 AM
Well it's no longer the 1970's so not everyone is circumsized, even in the US. from what i could find it is now around 60% are and 40% are not. In canada it's about 17% who are circumsized.

next.. a lip bowl is very visable whereas a cut penis is not. if all the boys start starring at your boy's penis in the shower there is maybe other things to be concerned about.

in addition, i doubt a woman will scar him for life because you didn't cut him when he was an infant, and if she does, make him mention how they used to cut the hood of the clitoris and perhaps we should start that practice again since you think it looks "prettier".

Following blindly what other people do just because it's "what everyone else is doing" is pretty ignorant and leads to some pretty freightful scenarios. But of course if you are afraid of standing of for yourself and doing what you think is right based on an informed decision, then i guess that's your choice, some people followers and some are leaders.

I still find it funny that the rest of the civilized world, except for US has low circumsicion rates, but of course, it must be the right thing to do if the US does it

I don't see people who had their tonsils and appendix removed start pity groups about not having what they were born with.


funny you should mention it. but tonsils which used to be considered useless was quickly removed from many people until they realized the benefits of tonsils and how they helped the immune system..... there are actually a lot of correlation between it and this discussion. people can have complications with tonsils and so they remove it, does that mean that everyone should get them removed? no. and that's because it has a benefit.. same with the foreskin.

so it just goes to prove that it is probably not always a good idea to start cutting off thigns you dont really know what does or what benefits it has.
there are lots of reports that's exploring what the foreskin exactly does and guess what.. it's actually extremely useful.

circumcision is old medicine and a barbaric way of curing somethign that dosnt' need to be cured. sure you can live with it.. some may even prefer it and i think that's because most of the american porn stars have it done.. and since most likely it's the only exposure to penises that most males have.. well unless they are gay or explore the showers in locker rooms... you dont want to seem different and that's why people like having it done merely to fit in, without knowing anything about why it was there in the first place.

Tattoos on women turn on or turn off? just curious
Posted: 3/10/2007 5:48:33 PM
Yeah i must admit i'm not the biggest fan of tattoos...although some of the smaller ones are just fine and they can be ok.

I just find the natural skin to be nicer to look at. plus, when the girl is older it wont look completely weird or trashy imo.

not only that, i find that a lot of woman now a days are getting that lower back tattoo. I hate to say it but i'm starting to hear it being referred to as the "mark of the wh*re" since apparently pretty much all strippers have it. now this is also from people who like tattoos. frankly i find i know more girls with tattoos than guys but i suppose thats the fad.

that being said, i dont mind girls with tattoos, they just dont do anything for me. (this being tasteful tattoos)

well ironically enough the US has the highest level of HIV infected males, yet they also have the highest level of circumcised males in developed countries.

the HIV factor is not significant enough to warrant any consideration on circumcising or not. every medical group states this from the British ministry of health, the Canadian or even the American. it is a livestyle that increases HIV chances not if someone is cut or not.

In regards to "bubbles1979" post on the references for circumcision.

First of all, as far as i can tell these refereces are based on HIV factors in Africa where they dont use condoms. the recomondation to do circumcision is only based on the fact that it is in Africa.

also, your websources are outdated and come up with errors that the pages do not exist anymore.. However, i can provide you with a quote from the ama-assn.org website which you seem to quote a lot. This is based on the HIV studies

"Regardless of these findings, behavioral factors are far more important risk factors for acquisition of HIV and other sexually transmissible diseases than circumcision status, and circumcision cannot be responsibly viewed as "protecting" against such infections"

i think that is clear enough in removing the whole HIV part as a reason to have it done.


I find it weird that no one seems to care about the benefits of the foreskin and what it actually does. seriously, if you are cutting off parts of the body it should be important to know what it does and what you are missing out when its gone.

hmm i'm thinking it could just be that you are located in England and that they use the time for the messages based on where the server for pof is located, which is probably here in north america.

so could be that the weird times you get is just the matter of the time differences between you and POF's standard time.

I imagine that either you set up the profile as you being in a different time zone or that your windows clock is off. check the clock in the bottom right corner in windows and if it is completely off that's your answer (it can be changed by just double clicking on it and then changing it)

if it is your windows clock and it keeps going wacky each time you reboot your computer you have to get a battery changed on your mainboard.

to the above.

circumcision dosn't "prevent" anything. All the studies that show benefits are based on a "reduction in the chance" of getting the diseases and at that it's minimal. if there was such a huge medical benefit as you claim the procedure would be recommened by the health ministry in both europe and north america. However this is not the case.
In fact the only countries that openly do circumcision as a norm are developing countries and then the US.

Besides. if you use circumcision as a method of preventing STD's you are in for a great surprise. The use of a condom is always recommened and with that it nullifies any sort of benefit a circumcised penis may have.

In addition to the so called prevention of STD's. you should probably consider the reason for the foreskin and read up on what exactly it does and see the benefits of it like the sensitivity the foreskin adds, and not just in the thousands of nerve endings in the foreskin itself. there is also the fact that it protects the head of the penis and keeps it in a natural state.
just remember, not many years ago they thought tonsils were useless and cut them away happily.


The arguments thus far for circumcision have been pretty silly.

1. circumcision is healthier as it "prevents" STD's. - silly since we live in society where condoms are reguarly used so this dosn't really matter, besides it's a reduction not an elimination.

2. circumcized is prettier - well that's just based on the norm and personal experience, a fully erect non-circumcised penis with the foreskin retracted looks fairly identical to one that's circumcised

3. it's cleaner - this is more based on the individual than the penis. if someone dosn't cleam themselves they probably have more issues, in any case it is based on the individual not on the state of their penis.

4. i just like it that way - personal opinions are fine. however if they are based on false information it is time to re-examine them.


there is tons of information on the benefits of the foreskin, i think it's time for some to read up on it.

I would recommend a spell check and a grammar check first of all.

Second, as funny as your headline is, mentioning sex in this fashion as well as showing off your abs may leave the impression that you are only out for sex even though your written profile dosn't show this.

I think it really depends on what exactly you are looking for.

Reading your profile you seem to want to talk to people with sassy comments and primarily about sex.
if this is the case then i doubt you have any problems finding willing males to e-mail you as seen by the number of people who put you on their favourite list.

I agree with Fiery
those pictures as attractive as they may be = sex.

they just dont match the rest of the profile especially since you indicate that you're looking for a nice caring man. The last 3 pictures i think you should defintely delete.

having a "naughty schoolgirl" picture is fine, but i would suggest saving it until after you have found someone whom you would like to share it with.


Otherwise the rest of the profile is good. :)

Profile and pics ...
Posted: 11/24/2006 1:05:25 PM
Why dont you describe a bit more about what you like in a person other than just someone to keep a conversation. Perhaps you should describe what topics you like to discuss. Are you into poetry or literature? or do you like to discuss what music to dance to?

Instead of saying "mature guys" why not describe what you see as mature, put a more positive spin on it. Are there specifics that makes you think a guy is mature?

I'm afraid as it is now, i doubt you will get many guys who are interested in a meaningful relationship. I have a feeling that most who contact you now are probably looking more for a bed friend to party with more than anything else. If that's what you want, then it's good.If not then i would consider editing it a bit.

on a plus you have some nice pictures i think.


otherwise i would suggest Fiery-D's comments.
though personally i dont think just having your first name showing is going to be that big of a deal.

I'm not sure exaclty what type of person you are looking for.
I would say judging by that profile that you are a heavy party person who likes to drink and that you like going out with older guys to have "fun" with.

If this is not the case then i would re-write the profile.

Did you get the $300 warranty, when you buy your pc?
Posted: 11/17/2006 12:18:52 PM
Having worked in computer retail in the past i can assure people that buying extended warranties are a waste of money unless you purposely plan to commit fraud and "break" the product to get a replacement.

The extended warranties are the main money income. A $300 plan costs them maybe $60. a computer has a normal margin of 8-9%. Cables have about a 90% margin and accessories about 30%. One advice i have, buy cables at the dollar store.

In stores such as futureshop they get commission on selling warranties. In stores such as Best-buy you loose your job if you dont sell enough of them. Other stores offer spifs for selling extended warranties as well.

The typical trick of hte trade is to tell the customer about the horror that happened to one customer who was left in the dark because he didn't have a warranty, then they tell about another customer who was practically blessed by the pope because he bought one. it's scare tactics.

Think about it this way. No extended warranty (unless you buy accidental coverage) covers physical abuse. The chance of electronics just simply breaking down without some intervention is rather remote.

save the $300, invest it if nothing else and if you computer breaks down, then use that money to fix it.

AMD or Intel Whats Your choice people!
Posted: 10/26/2006 8:03:07 PM


that may well be yet then one has to ask why so many of the ads touting the intel chips use exactly these types of "benchmarks" that don't isolate the ability of the chip itself.

Still looking at amd chips you find a better speed on the "killer apps" vs intel, and the intel has an edge in multi threaded programs.
If you check into the amd plans on dual core technologies they clearly state they are going the opposite direction as intel. They want both working in conjuction as one single suoer fast cpu, where intel runs 2 separate slower cpu's ........ again a very simplified reason why the amd chips are faster unless you get into heavy hyper-threading.



why not cehck the benchmarks yourself. Intel comes out first. Even the entry level Core2 duos can compete with the top of the line AMD's and many times beat them.

price vs performance. intel is actually better than AMD right now.


Besides.. last time i checked most poeple's taskbar there was more than 1 program running. Multi tasking is the way of hte future since most people always run more than one program at the same time. May it be a virus checker, spyware sweeper, internet explorer, burning cd's all at the same time.



tomshardware is fairly well known as being very good with their testing.

Posted: 10/24/2006 5:51:31 PM


1. Athlon64s can run on a 64bit OS or a 32bit OS, it doesn't really matter, they run on any OS that any other x86 cpu (this includes most of intel's cpus) can run on.
2. All of intel's newer cpus have support for 64bit as well, though they don't do it as well as amd's athlon64. So, they technically are 64bit cpus.
3. A 64bit cpu is going to be a requirement for microsoft's next version of windows.
4. Amd's cpus currently can't compete with intel's in the performance department.


64Bit is over rated at the moment. only about 6 games actually take advantage of it, and even then if you read the reviews it's nothign spectacular. having dual cores is considerably more advantagous.

64bit's main advantage is being able to use more than 4gb of RAM in a computer, not something we will see required for a while.

Microsoft VISTA does NOT require a 64 bit computer. You can get it in both 32bit and 64bit versions.



you are however right that AMD can not compete with intel with performance.
The core 2 cpu beats out all AMD cpu's.. and is priced below what the top AMD cpu's cost.


The core 2 cpu is up to 40% faster and 40% more energy efficient than the previous generation Intel CPU. That being said, they lowered the price of the old CPUs so the power/performance compared to AMD's even on the lower end cpu's are going to be fairly close.


At the moment Intel CPU's are the better ones to go with. This may change later on but right now Intel has the upper hand.

Pondering between a Preputioplasty & Circumcision
Posted: 10/23/2006 1:34:29 PM
I dont think anyone on here is qualified to give medical advice.
but, Ok as far as i can tell after googling "maxirex" it's a penis enlargment pill? if that's the case i wouldn't hold my breath as it simple does not exist. there is a reason why your spam box will be full of "penis enlargment" e-mails.

if it did it would be a lot more well known and not be selling through a dingy website. using such great testimonials as "David from cincinatti" using photoshopped pictures.

secondly, think of it this way. if you get the preputioplasty done and its not working out for you, can't you at this point go get the rest of it snipped?

your penis wont have any different size depending if it's hooded or not. It's skin. it's not like it's holding back your penis in any way. I dont really know where people get the idea that a penis will suddenly increase in size because it's snipped. Frankly, it's completely rediculous as per definition when you are snipping your taking away part of the penis.. not adding to it.

Dating a bisexual woman.
Posted: 10/12/2006 11:04:20 AM
I honestly can see nothing wrong with dating someone who is bi-sexual. It's the person that matters more than anything.

I can see it being a bit uncomfortable openly checking out girls together since that is generally speaking frowned upon to do with a heterosexual girl who would slap you for such.

But in the end communication is key, she needs to know how you feel and she needs to tell you how she feels about it. if it really bothers you perhaps she is not hte right girl for you.


oh and just because they are bi-sexual does not mean they are more inclined to cheat. It all depends on the girl. besides, there is more to a relationship than just sex.

Places to see in Poland
Posted: 8/23/2006 1:10:14 PM
i was in krakow and woudl recommend it... beside the obvious castle located in the town there is also a pretty neat salt mine just outside of it. This mine is one of thee oldest still used and they have some pretty neat tours of the inside. To make it even neater you see what the miners have carved out over the hundred years which includes a huge chapel with salt crystal glass chandeliers. It takes about 3 hours to walk though though but it has some really neat sights. .. however if you dont like being underground i wouldn't recommend it.

Circumcision...
Posted: 8/21/2006 7:48:00 PM


it is a health issue i know of 2 men that had to get it done at the age of 40 and 45 and both because of health issues


Ok, I can respect your opinon on a personal preference and i respect that, but it is pretty clear by now that it is not a "health issue" just because you know 2 men who had to get it done does not mean every single person should. yes there are some people, and very few, who has to have it done but it medically does not warrant it for others. preventive surgery for things that may occur on a extremely small amount of men is not exactly ethical.

As for the "obvious propaganda" that Theaj claims.
Seriously.. do you actually believe what your writing or have you fallen so deeply in love with your own opinon that even medical research is considered propaganda for you? If you cant trust reports from respected doctors who do you believe? How did you form your opinions? I would like to know your source because apparently it must be pretty darn convincing in order for you to completely disregard any and all other research as pure lies. Seriously, please tell us of your enlighting source so we may all change our mind and understand your perspective since its so obvious that we have fallen victim to this great propaganda of saving the foreskin.
