meat is murder Posted: 9/30/2007 2:39:18 PM
I agree whole heartedly, but you could say that about most things, how many people respect other peoples' views eh?

meat is murder! Posted: 9/30/2007 2:37:27 PM
I have become a vegatarian, not because I hate meat, I love it! but I found that I was starting to feel sick everytime I thought about the way some slaughter houses treat the animals that are taken to them for killing, some sheep are stunned but it is done so quickly cometimes its hasnt killed them first time, amnd they are left suffering until someone comes back up the line and notices, in some places some sheep and cattle are not stunned but have their throats cut, and left to blled to death! Then you have chicken farms, where the chickens never see the light of day, never scratch around chasing corn, but are crammed so tightly together that they are unable to turn round. These are the reasons that I stopped eating meat, oh! not forgetting the millions of carcas's that are put inot refrigeration, but not sold on so are destroyed, what was the point in killing that animal then? by greed at source! wouldn't it be better if these "beef/chicken" mountains were sent to thirld world countries and actually do some good?

I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 9/29/2006 2:50:00 PM
Do you know I have spent a lifetime treating people with sensitivity, honesty courtesy and respect, and what do I get? nothing, that hurts, but like a fool I keep on doing it as that is the way I have been brought up, younger men to me are in their 30s and 40s old enough to have some of the right qualities, but sadly it doesn't seem to matter what age they are, a lot are still ignorant and arrogant, So where does that leave me? same place as the lady who started this thread!!!

I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 9/29/2006 2:42:40 PM
Just remember she did say that there are some men who are ok, but they are usually too far away, I have got to agrre with her, I find there are a lot of men my age who look so old!!!, I also agree with her that some just do give up, I look at some of the pics and can't beleive some of them are younger than me! Yes it does matter what they are like on the inside, but if you don't like them on the outside, you are not going to hang around long enough to find out what they are like?

Study shows 1 in 8 Americans are living in poverty... Posted: 8/30/2006 3:34:18 PM
I am a little confused!! I was under the assumption that all americans had to pay for medical care, that those in full time employment got health insurance from their employers, but those who are not employed have to pay, it seems that if someone is very poor then they can be ill and have no medical resource? so they can just suffer and some die. For a "Superpower" thats a disgrace, your government should look after it's own first before outsiders.

lack of confidence Posted: 8/27/2006 4:23:27 PM
Thanks for all of the advice, some of the methods of building myself up I have already treid, I have joined in a lot of evening classes, gone to college, joined singles clubs, volunteered to teach tose who are illiterate, I am now a Parsh Councillor with a lot of civic duties and get to meet a lot of people. When it comes to my abilities to do something, then I don't have a problem, what I do have a problem with is what I see when I look in the mirror!! at 55yrs age is not just creeping up on me, it is actually here, my body is going downhill, and my face is following fast!!! I agree with some views such as just enjoying a night out, that is what I have in mind when I go out, but I also can feel in the back of my mind the niggling doubt thatthe person I am meeting will take one look at me and mentally cringe, especially if I find him really attractive, like a lot of people I usually find its the ones I don't like who like me, and the ones I do like who can't wait to escape!!! lol

lack of confidence Posted: 8/27/2006 3:53:23 PM
At 55yrs and having been divorced for 30 yrs I have been out on lots and lots of dates and have had some incredible bad luck, ranging from finding out someone was married after 18 months!!! went out with a seperated guy for 3 months, one day I was cooking our tea and he went out the door for cigarrettes and never came back!! For several weeks one guy kept telling me he loved me, then suddenly stopped answering the phone. those are just the tip of the iceberg. It would be so nice to meet someone who I liked and who liked me and who didn't have weird or strange hidden agendas. Then I could have a "normal" relationship" with someone.

Thanx justme, I have actually gone out in the past feeling that I am as good as everyone else, but sometimes by the end of the date that force/confidence has just slipped away, I think that to keep a level of confidence I would need someone to tell me and show me that I justify having confidence and it on a regular basis!!!!

how does anyone get their confidence back after it has been sent to rock bottom? Joining POF is a start, but it is still at a distance which is great, but it's when you get to meet with someone that it becomes a stressful venture, as you can find that you don't like them or they don't like you, then it is not just disappointment that steps in, but the feeling that you must be really ugly or unlovable, as they didn't like you at all, or you can feel that it's typical that you always end up with the ones you dislike for whatever reason. It makes you feel as if you will never get your confidence back, so should you go through all that stress and meet another person?

We dont take the time Posted: 8/14/2006 3:48:54 PM
I think people forget that there are a lot of people here who have lost their self confidence but not thier dreams, when you are emailing someone you get this picture in your mind about how wonderful this "relationship" is and how romantic it is, but when it get to the stage of meeting, huh! how scary is that? what if he doesn't like you, after you have taken all your courage in your hands and made the effort to look your best, then on meeting you can sense that he's dissapointed? how demeaning is that? so sometimes you don't want to let it get that far. It doesn't hurt then, as you can keep everyone at a distance

why do guys not just speak their minds? Posted: 8/12/2006 3:42:26 PM
I think the guys on the thread have got things slightly wrong, I think what is meant are such things as being unhappy, or worried about something, I dont think that such things as: does my hair look ok? or does this suit me? is what is meant here, Yes men are conditioned to hold back, to keep it all together, being the big strong mail protector, look after the little woman, lay the traps, kill the meat, and then bring it back to the cave, then fight off a big nasty bear!! But the modern man in our eyes should be able to express himself about things that are on his mind, don't forget, most women go out to work, a lot support themselves, some can even change a tyre or paint a house! or even go out a get their own food!! Oh yes, men will also lie about things in order for them to look good in your eyes, it's not always meant to decieve, its just a front to show that they are the big strong type A lot of it boils down to society, boys do boy things at school, and at after school clubs, they go fishing and other man type things, other boys would take the p..s out of any boy who was not completely macho! so who is there to teach them to be slighly more sensitive? well... thier mother could, couldn't she?

What turns you ON when you see a guy Posted: 8/12/2006 3:24:59 PM
They say it takes allsorts, but there are a few things that we all seem to like, then there are others that vary. we all like; Nice eyes, nice smile, some height, Now I like the above, but I also like a nice smell, not sweat ugh!! or farmyard, eek! I like clean nails, what if they were to put their hands on your skin? no thank you not if those fingernails are dirty!! I also like a clean shaven man, kissing someone with a 5.o shadow usually ends up with me having a sore face for days!! I admire a man who has taken the time to put on clean and ironed clothes, they don't have to be really fashionable, but there is nothing worse that a check shirt with a spotted tie, or baggy brightly decorated shorts with grey socks and opened toe sandals, shudder, shudder, pants with sagging bottoms and a waistband and belt that can't be seen due to the large bulging stomach. And worst of all, clothes that are stained and shoes that are really scuffed, trainers that are curling up and never been cleaned. These thing give the impression that a man who isn't interested in his appearance at all, so why should I be interested in him? Give me a wholesome guy anytime, one who wants to make the right impression, I also don't like the tyupe of male who is constantly scanning passersby, which tells me he is not really interested in being with me, then theres the guy who eyes up every young attractive female around and is looking more at them than at me, that hurts a lot I like a man who at least looks like he is interested in me and what I want and what I have to say.

Why I love men... Posted: 8/10/2006 3:43:50 PM
Aren't you lucky? do you think it is possible you could lend him to science for a little while, just long enough to get some copies made? and can I be first in line to get one? I love the adrenaline rush of meeting up with a man who I found incredibly sexy, the warm feeling in my chest, and the way my throat would close up, A man who has all the attributes of your man is every womens dream (well mine at least!) bring back those days once more please!!

This co worker of yours either; has made the comments about your exs prowess between the sheets on purpose or she is as thick as a brickl, fear not, if she is telling the truth about his standard, did you miss out? but if she is telling a lie about his skills in the bedroom, why should you worry, I would be unable to keep a straight face, I would also be lying on the floor with tears in my eyes from laughing so much he he he Anyway what is a Skank?

Gardening Posted: 8/9/2006 3:37:49 PM
I actually enjoy my garden plus it faces south-east which means it has sun nearly all day, good for some plants but not for others, when my daughter came to stay for a month or two, but ended up here for a year!! she brought her two dogs with her, I already had two so you can imagine the state of my lawn, it is a mess!!!!3 of them are males, so when one decided to go pee on one of my plants, the others had to follow, so I now have big gaps in my borders, I grow my own plants from seed in my greenhouse, then plant out very carefully, then have to spend a lot of time fighting off the slugs,snails and caterpillars, which I have a job spotting, because they are all under the young leaves so again, out of a lovely group of young plants I might end up with one or two, it looks so desolate when there is just one plant flowering all by it's self I also lost a lost of seedlings during the really hot spell, I missed one night of watering them and the sun in the following day destroyed a lot of them, very expensive waste of seeds and effort However I love to watch the birds come down, and to see the dogs lying on the grass and the birds not caring at all, the only snag is that when they go for the bird seed and the bigger birds drop it onto my borders, I have grass growing in places it's not supposed to be. frustrating yes, but I would not be without either my garden or my dogs

Why do Men ask to see your pics then NEVER talk to you again....? Posted: 8/8/2006 3:54:10 PM
Whether you are looking for a friend, a date or just to chat, you like everyone else get curious and high expectations, sometimes you have had a picture in your mind of what that person looks like, then when a photo is seen, quite often there is some disappointment, so what do they do? they find its embarrasing to tell you they don't like your looks, most people are emotional cowards and will just back off without a word!!!!! its cruel but very normal!!

Is Intelligence A Curse In Relationships? Posted: 8/8/2006 3:41:48 PM
I am reasonably smart and have been out with men who are slightly less smart tham me and have been bored, because they haven't understood something I have said! I have also been out with very intelligent men, who I found patronising, they also seem to find it hard to concentrate on just me, they were alert to everything that was happening around us instead, I think the only solution for brain drains is for the intimidated dates etc to speak up about the situation they are in, otherwise how would a brainer know what they are doing, and how much it can hurt?.

is this it, is this what its all about Posted: 8/6/2006 3:02:03 PM
Now that I am older and my confidence is not what it once was, I want to feel at ease with someone before I can show them my body with the droops and wrinkles that age can bring, however, I remember when, as a young woman my hormones were off the scale!!! and thought about sex every 15 minutes!! but even then there was the conflict of do I have sex with him on the first date or not? because males also thought about it constantly, but the world didn't look on females and males in the same way, boys were expected to sow their wild oats before settling down to marriage, mortgages and kids, but girls were expected to keep themselves pure for the man man they would marry......mmmmmmmm conflicting views, but that's the way it was, Then the world turned, as the decades pass young peoples expectations changed, attitudes to sex changed. I don't mind that that is the way it goes these days, what I don't like is the callousness that seems to go along with it, it seems as if the laxer the attitudes become the less respect a lot of younger ones have for each other and for people in general. Seems to me we just have to be true to ourselves and ignore the ignorant ones!! The younger generations will learn their mistakes with age and heartache!!
