Too persue or be persued ...
Posted: 5/28/2012 7:33:08 AM

I do miss aggressive men however . Men that are afraid to be themselves due to all the cases of sexual assault , harassment that have found such a common tread in today's society . Tis a pity really . It's in thier genes to be "he" men .. kidna miss it .


I would have thought you were too young to remember that kind of stuff. That's the way it was in the '70's. We'd meet someone at a party or dance and then shove her up against a wall and plant a big wet one on 'er. We either got slapped and left or slapped and laid.

But that was the time of the sexual revolution, when love was free and it was OK for women to enjoy it as much as men. If you do it nowadays, you can be charged and have to submit your data to the national sexual offender database. I know of cases where this happened. One of which... all the guy did was touch her bare back.....

50 Shades of Grey
Posted: 5/28/2012 6:57:44 AM
LOL... well I'm only one Nova Scotian....

Personally.... I'd read a user guide for raising teenagers first. But since every kid is different....

Much like relationships. Everyone's is different. I'm not really interested in anyone else's fairy tales just like noone would be interested in mine.

Single Men in Apartments wanting to move in here ! Why ?
Posted: 5/28/2012 6:51:12 AM

I am a survivor and self sufficient, therefore I do not see the point of providing everything for someone who is not.


Exactly! Losers need not apply.

While that may seem a bit harsh... there are a lot of us who have had to start over more than once. And although from my profile picture one might think that I just like to hang out and drink all of the time.... that's not the case. So.... ya' I'm choosey. If ya' don't have something going on in your own life, you won't respect the fact that I do. We aren't a match.

Venus/Mars Vocabulary
Posted: 5/25/2012 5:44:32 AM
I think "head games" means a partner with a hidden agenda.....

For example.... let's say the person you're dating has received notice at work that there is a lay off coming up. They don't know how they will make ends meet so they try and convince you that things are moving along smoothly in the relationship and it may be time to move in together.

Or your partner convinces a friend to keep you busy for a day, so they can do something they would rather you didn't know about.

These are a couple of examples from my experience, I'm sure other folks can likely relate to as well.

is an hour commute too far for a relationship?
Posted: 5/16/2012 6:15:44 AM
I don't have a lot of free time. So traveling an hour to go on a date, plus the time for the date, and then an hour drive back, isn't something I will do.

relationships
Posted: 4/29/2012 1:54:43 PM
You're only responsible for your own actions, not anyone else's. No one likes to feel like they are controlled. But I feel there might be more to your question, that I'm not interpreting correctly. You said:


i want someone who is confident,easygoing and who can control themselves.i just cant imagine having to control another person.i just would rether stay single


What kind of control are you talking about? When to get up, when to go to bed? How to behave in public? And by control... how would you expect to do it?

Single Men in Apartments wanting to move in here ! Why ?
Posted: 4/22/2012 3:06:10 AM

Doesn't anyone want to slow down this time round and be sure or is it that the clock is ticking and they feel time is running out in which to find a better match this time ?


I've slowed down so much... I may have stopped; could be dead... not sure.

I've found there are two kinds of people. Group one, moves from one relationship into the next as soon as they can. They need a relationship to build and grow again. Group two can't do that. They have to take their time. I'm group two. We build and grow on our own.

Moved back to Nova Scotia in 2003. Bought a house a few years ago and my teenage daughter lives with me. Other than my daughter, there hasn't been any woman living with me. And I like it this way. I've got lots of friends. Anytime I'm not working, I always have people to hang with. Works for me.

Because group one, needs to be on the move, it stands to reason that POF is used by more group one than group two. So the chances of meeting group two single men is considerably less.

Why is the NS Forum so quiet ?
Posted: 4/5/2012 4:23:56 PM

Aside from that topic being done to death, it is a chat topic, thus not a valid one for POF forums.


It's been awhile since I looked at the "rules" so I reviewed them this evening. Your interpretation is different than mine.

http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts141520.aspx#defchat
... under definition of chat, #3 says "An Interchange devoid of any Subject or Topic." -- and in this case the word "Topic" is hot-linked to another definition which #2 says "a Subject for Discussion or Conversation."

So what's your take on that Frank? Looks like we aren't allowed to discuss much of anything?

Right below that is a definition (you guessed it) for "Troll".... which is where you fit in Frank.

OK... well maybe you're not a perfect fit for a "troll". You're a smart, intelligent man, but one who feels he needs to control posters comments on the Nova Scotia forum, and one of the reasons why I think people stopped posting here. You know I've been accessing wild-cat bulletin boards and discussing topics with people long before the Internet ever became popular, and there is always one or two guys in each of these groups that tries to assume the role of the forum policeman. Well I don't see moderator in your handle... and if you can't dazzle us with the brilliance, I know you're capable of, push the link at the bottom to alert the real moderators and they can decide for themselves if something is wrong with a posters comments or topics.

I say, give the forums another chance to grow. Don't start shooting people just cause they posted to YOUR forum.

There is a downside to the fish I am thinking about, though. They are huge Sturgeon (in the Suwannee River) , and if they HIT a boater when jumping into a boat, it can be deadly.


Note to self: leave fishing rod home; take hand-gun!!

I hear fishing season is open... maybe they are off fishing?

It used to be quite lively in here, but then during website redesigns, the forum link got removed, so many people couldn't find their way back. By the time it was in place again -- the momentum was lost. I expect since this site has become so popular, a lot of people have met their pof matches too. I have several friends who have.....

I must admit I've had a bit of luck here and there. But it was mostly catch and release. The only ones I've kept were the flounder and clams I caught in the bay.

See? And that's a problem too! Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Show him how easy it is to fish, and then all he wants to do is drink beer, lay in the shade and dangle his hook.

Funny yet dumb things you've done while drunk...
Posted: 12/29/2011 5:03:16 AM
I was in a little town I wasn't real familiar with, and was at dance. I'd had been drinking a bit (I know that may come as a shock to some of you....), and decided I needed some air. So I walked out with one beer in my hand, and tucked a couple of others into my pockets (for good measure, you know). I stumbled... oopss, mean found.... this backstreet and thought I would take a stroll down the road to clear my head when I noticed these red and blue lights flashing behind me.

I turned to admire the pretty lights when all of a sudden two cops were standing in front of me. So I tossed the beer I had in my hand into the ditch, and while one cop went after that, the other one (female cop) yanked one of the ones I had in my pocket out and held it up in front of her. She asked if I would follow her please....

I went over to her and wrapped both arms around her and said if she could keep pulling out the beer like that I would follow her all night.

Well... she chuckled... maybe even turned a shade red.... but I wound up in the cell alone :-(

Thought it might be the time of year to revise this old thread ;-)

Hi Carolyn,

This is the forum for introducing yourself. I'm thinking if you need some help resolving this problem you may wish to post this message in the help forum/section

http://www.pof.com/suggestions_v2.aspx

It says that "Nearly all questions can be answered by READING THE HELP sections first." but if you can't find the help there that you need, you can submit a form for personal help here:

I keep getting these messages sent to my email account from this site that says "username wants to meet you" Click here to view her profile. To check your messages click this link... and then underneath this is text that says:

Replies to this email will be automatically deleted, you will not
receive more than 8 meet me notifications in a 24 hour period.

But when I check my inbox on this site, there isn't any message. What's this "meet me notification"? Is this something this website just generates randomly and sends to random users?

My Dad... it's been a few years
Posted: 7/11/2010 5:11:51 PM
I was reading though some profile s tonight and this line in one that caught my attention:

"The only man that I know who really knows how to treat a woman is my father. "

Well, I don't know the woman -- I don't know her father. But it made me think of mine.

My dad has been dead now for a few years. We didn't always get along. But he raised us boys to be gentleman and he set a fine example of what a man should be. He ALWAYS treated my mother with love and respect. The last intelligent thing (cause it wasn't real quick an no-one could understand what he was saying) was that early morning when the ambulance came and they were taking him out on a stretcher... he took my mother's hand as they wheeled him out the door and he said, "I guess this is it then. I love you Audrey."

And you know what? I believed it. It was just days shy of their 50th wedding anniversary, and I never so much as ever heard him to even raise his voice at her. Lord knows, she could be a trying woman at times.

Me, I got a cottage on the bay about a mile away from where they lived, and I was there when I got the call. Wasn't nothing I could do. I stood there like the helpless country boy I am -- wanting to do something, but not wanting to get in the way of the paramedics.

We all got to the hospital. My brother was trying to console my mother, and not having a whole lot of luck. I slipped in to see him for a few minutes. Like I say, I figured he never cottoned to me much 'cause we was too different. I'm thinking his mind was gone as well as his heart, but he looked at me like I never seen him look at me before, and he said something; I don't know what. I took his hand and I said "I love you Dad." Then the hospital staff showed me the door and said I couldn't be in there right now. Next time I saw him, he was dead.

Me and my brother had another brother. He was 8 years younger than me. We kinda' think maybe he was an accident. He was a little touched in the head, if you know what I mean. He turned out to be a strappin lad at 6'3" in his socks weighing in no less than 200 pounds. There wasn't a thing he could lay his hand to that didn't move. And Dad loved him. I seen it. Why, he could cuss that old man out like he never been cussed before, and Dad would just grin. If it hada been me, I'd be likely to get a poke.

The boy died when he was 22. There was over 400 people at his funeral -- standing room only. He had a way of making people feel good about themselves. I never understood it, but he done it. The only time in my life when I saw my father shed a tear. They were inseparable through-out his life. One didn't move without the other.

Sure, me and Dad butted heads a lot. Maybe that was my fault; I just had to do everything my own way. But I'm thinking maybe he was a good man. I didn't follow in his teachings, but he done the family proud. And he was real good to my mother.

I can't say that I liked him real well. But you know, he was real good to the people that needed him the most. I think he was a man, and I'm proud to have known him.

Mac

A funny thing happened to me today....
Posted: 7/11/2010 1:47:02 PM
I've had young women email me -- looking for a sugar daddy. Maybe that
doesn't count as weird -- maybe it happens to a lot of guys.

But I also had a proposition from a young woman who just wanted to party.
She was very up-front. She made it clear that I would be buying the booze,
smokes, getting a room and paying for a night on the town.

Wide screen
Posted: 5/15/2010 4:57:07 AM
If you're using Firefox, go to View/Page Style/No Style

It won't look real good, but the forum posts will be contained in your screen and you won't have to scroll sideways to read them.

I think the divine one's guess is spot-on. I think it must have been done to further discourage forum usage. But if he doesn't want folks using the forums, why doesn't he shut them down?

First the forum link goes missing, and now the width of the forums has been set wider than 1024 pixels. According to the w3schools.com browser stats, it shows, as of January 2010, that 76% the population is using 1024x768.

Interesting to note that the rest of the site still appears to be using a display resolution that will fit.

I wonder why they would do this just to the forums....

Do you enjoy your employment?
Posted: 3/27/2010 6:27:46 PM

have you ever thought about getting your skills upgraded? If you don't enjoy what you do now, it's never too late to switch your career choice. Some people are doing it in well into their 50-60's.


True enough! A friend of mine I went to school with is going back to school to learn some IT skills. He's 51 or 52.

And if you're largely unemployable (by nature) like I am, start your own business. That's what I did when I was roughly your age. I only hire people who are smarter than I am. It helps me get the work done, but it gets done in the direction I want it to go. People with education and skills always work for people who have vision.

If I wanted to open a school tomorrow for people who wanted to learn how to fly airplanes, I wouldn't let a little fact like I don't have a license to fly, hold me back.

LOL... I could go on... but this is a dating website -- not meant for career motivation.

What makes you decide to contact someone on POF?
Posted: 12/5/2009 3:20:27 PM
This thread, just won't go away....

If you can't beat them; join them....

I've been on this site for a number of years. Haven't found anyone I would consider dating yet.

So, since this seems to be a thread where you post what you're looking for....

Must like kitchen parties -- must like to sing or, play guitar, piano, or fiddle. Must like doing the same thing at the cottage. ('cause it's a different crowd) Must appreciate drunken buddies ('cause when we're playing, we are apt to do some drinking).

Must have your own home, car and job; I ain't looking after you.

Must be shorter then 5'7" and weight less than 140 lbs. 'Cause I don't want us to look like Laurel and Hardy.

It looks to me, like it is a "seeking attention" thread. I think the original post should be on your profile, not in the forum. That's why I chose to have it deleted..

My choice wasn't meant to be taken personally though, Marelly. I hope you find what you're looking for -- hope we all do :-)

From a business perspective -- it's renewable capital. Once you sell it, you still have it. I'd like to invest in it. Of course, if there isn't any legal way to do it, I'd have to give it a pass.

How do you feel about people who've been on POF for your years?
Posted: 10/6/2009 1:30:17 PM

I'm just wondering what others think when they see a profile that's been around quite a long time who's looking for a relationship. Does it put up a red flag for you?


I've been on here for three years. For the few that have sent me messages, I wasn't interested and for the few I sent messages to -- they weren't interested.

You know, I enjoy the forums. If I find someone to date off this site, or I don't, it doesn't really matter. I'm not desperate. So when I'm browsing the forums and see the join date (which you don't see on anyone's profile), maybe they have a similar outlook.

I've got a couple of friends who have had lots of dates off this site. They are still looking. But they don't participate in the forums. I would bet only a small percentage likes to post here.

Anyone else get visited by the census police?
Posted: 9/27/2009 4:20:00 PM
[quote="James BottomTooth III"]
Yeah you tell them.

It is not like the government uses this information for allocation of tax dollars or programs designed to help the tax payers.

Those 30 minutes of my life are far to important to spend helping my country.

I guess I'm a little paranoid. Some of these tele-marketers (read some, not all) seem to have more information about me than I'd like them to have. I also don't feel that the disclaimers on the gov't website are up to 'snuff. You know, it doesn't take a whole lot of legal jargon a'fore a fellow is wondering which way is up. Do you need to hire your own lawyer to help you decipher some of this stuff?

Looks to me like they can share the collective information with just about anyone who is willing to pay the price. Now the people hired to do actual interviews are sworn to secrecy (like my sister-in-law was) -- but how do we know there aren't scores of savvy markerters hiring people to volunteer for these jobs so they have LISTS and DETAILS of your every move and purchase?

Ya' know, living in Truro, so I browsed what seems to be the latest stats (2006) comparing Truro to the rest of the province:

http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/prof/92-591/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=CSD&Code1=1210006&Geo2=PR&Code2=12&Data=Count&SearchText=Truro&SearchType=Begins&SearchPR=12&B1=All&Custom=

Yep, I know the info avaiable to the public at the above url is old -- 2006. But the information getting passed around about us isn't old.

I moved this Summer after I bought a house. Now... I'm receiving Sears catalogs, that I didn't get when I lived in an apartment. The address on them -- yep -- they are addressed to me.

A recent promotion from a local auto company -- my mother (who lives in an apartment) didn't get the offer but I did, and it was addressed to me. I expect 'cause homeowners are more likely to have better credit then renters.

Who told Sears and Ford that I moved and bought a house? How did they know that? I only moved two months ago...

If "helping your country" means coughing up any more information about me that they don't already have -- I'd prefer to opt-out.

It's almost like that TV commercial where they track you down and make you spit the gum out if you've been chewing it too long.... next thing you know there will be gov't sanctioned cameras installed in our homes to see if we're cooking Highlander fish sticks or McCain.

Yep... I'm finding it a bit much.

Parental advice please?
Posted: 9/27/2009 10:51:09 AM
Thanks again for all the great advice.

Last night was my daughter's 13th year old birthday party too. Well, we celebrated it last night -- she doesn't actually turn 13 until tomorrow.

She goes on cell-phone binges. She keeps up with all the texting and mesasaging for a few days and then it seems to overwhelm her at times. She will lay the cell-phone down and not pick it up again for a few days.

Faceboo0k email --same thing. I sent her an email message one day on Facebook. She said no-one reads facebook emails because they get too many of them. If you want to chat with her you have to get on the IM or text her.


.....now when i was young.....:)


LOL... agreed.

It certainly seems that way Killer. I think I'll tell her that... and it's not only about when she's home. When she is at her favourite Aunt's place, or grandmothers, etc... it's a show of respect and courtesy to pick up after yourself. I think if I broached the topic with her using this angle, I might have better luck.

She does have a good heart, and is sensitive towards other people's feelings.

Thanks for bringing this up. It give me more ideas :-)

And thank you to all of the others here, who have chimed in with other great ideas.

Posted: 9/21/2009 7:51:23 AM


although my throwing out of their things may seem rather drastic it did in effect literally guarantee that they clean up when they are asked, no bargaining, no take backs and hassle...its just done


I do like this idea. But... where her only source of income is me, then if I threw out (for example) her sneakers, that I bought and paid for, then she is replacing them with her allowance -- which is again, money from me. So it's my money (more or less) that's paying for discarded items.

Granted, it may take her six weeks to save up for them, supposing they cost $60, and she would have to do without, while she saved the money. I guess I'm looking for a less costly solution. I agree the situation where she cleans up before she is allowed to use her laptop might get tiring, but after repeated offenses, she will have to go a day without it -- moving right along, later it could be two days or more.

No guarantee that this will work, I know. But I'll give it a try and see how it goes. If I have to change my strategy later, I may choose the option you suggest.

Thank you,
Mac

Thank you for the ideas. They are all good. LOL... just a matter of finding out which one will work with her.

I might try taking away her laptop first. She doesn't use the phone much -- uses mostly Facebook and Yahoo messenger to chat with all of her friends.

I don't want this experience to be too painful for either of us. What would you do? Just restrict her for the length of time it takes her to clean up her mess? Or would you take it away for the day?

Thanks,
Mac

Posted: 9/20/2009 12:12:42 PM
My 13 year old daughter (grade 8) who lives with me leaves wet towels laying on the floor in her bed-room, plus other articles of clothes including dirty undies, food containers etc. She gets an allowance for keeping her room clean and helping out with dishes ($10 per week). When she doesn't tidy her area up, she doesn't get her allowance.

But there are other things that tick me off. Candy wrappers getting left in the living room, tags from clothes being discarded wherever she decides to cut them off. Containers that should go in one of the recycle bins get left on the counter for Dad. Bookbags, jackets, shoes, miscellaneous papers, and garbage get dropped any place (she doesn't get paid to clean any of the other rooms).

So what about you other single parents with kids? Is CHILD MAID stamped on your forehead too? How do you guys deal with this? What do you expect from your kids short of paying them for every time they lift a finger?

Thanks,
Mac

Pick a topic... ummm... internet addiction support groups??

What about you... are you "addicted" and if so, what's your "drug of choice"?


Could have been at one time -- as it is I make my living online. But I think my "drug of choice" would be a cold beer and weekends when I can get away from it.

Shouldn't be that hard to fulfill that wish list, Mac.
;)


You wouldn't think... although a reply I got after posting that in 2006 was really quite scary. She must have thought I was serious.

[quote="divine 1"]gee, all this time I thought you were a smart man

LOL... I did too.... but then I got married and had kids...

[quote="crimson glutes"]I think the demographic term is "dummy"...

Well, um... suppose it could be applicable... maybe due to early dementia. A fellow just naturally has to have his excuses for this sort of thing, ya' know?

Can't wait until the day when they check me into the home. I'll be chasing all of the old gals around with a bottle in one hand and a pack of cigarettes in the other. The orderlies will have to wrestle me down and pry them from my fingers. And providing I can stay awake long enough, there might be more then 5 drinks per session...

Then, and sadly too, I'm reminded of the famous words Marty (Fraiser's father from the sitcom "Fraiser") said: "The ol' boy can still stand up and salute -- there's just not as many parades going by."

Regards,
Mac

PS
What happened to my buddy, Crimson? It looks like his account is gone. Maybe he deleted it?

You probably have one of those decals on your chevy truck of the kid peeing on a Ford logo...you're that kind of people.

I think the demographic term is "dummy"...so sure, dumb dumb, think about me getting an enema all you want...call me an a$$hole....over and over. Dig deep!

But when you find a sober moment, if you ever have one, turn your remaining brain cells up to full THIMK and reflect on why you spend so much time telling men you don't know about all the things you want to do with their anus....


I can take a lot of crap, but enough is enough!

I don't drive a Chevy truck. I have a Ford truck.

Hey glutes!

Wassup with you man? You OK?

Couple years ago you were all s***s & giggles. I'm one of the guys that happens to like your sorry a**. (no reference here to what Killer suggested... ;-))

I'm not much good at this bleedin' heart club type stuff, and after two ex wives and two live-ins, I can't offer any advice ya' would "want to take to the bank" -- but you're kinda' talkin' crazy...

Email me. We'll spend a weekend at my cottage on the beach and dig some clams. There is no phone, no Internet... nothing but the beach. It's a great place to 'clear your head'.

Mac

i find forum postings give much more information about the persons views and interests than most profiles do.


Agreed. You can learn so much more about a person.

Probably not. As for abusing you, I am not gay..... but I wouldn't see a fella stuck.




Sometimes I try to be funny, but my humor pales in comparison to yours, Killer. You are the master.

*pretty heavy drinkers


I'm thinking there must be something more appropriate that PHD can stand for other than "pretty heavy drinkers". One could say that there isn't anything "pretty" about heavy drinking. Plus, I've seen a lot of individuals drink (including myself) whom I wouldn't consider "pretty".

Therefore, I move, that henceforth PHD become an initialism for 'Pietistical Heavy Drinker'.

Is heavy drinking a factor you consider (one way or the other) in selecting a dating/mating partner?


I dated a woman who really liked to drink. Everytime we drank together, we wound up in bed. It seemed that our entire existence depended on getting soused and jumping in the sack. Everytime it was the same thing. Didn't mater if it was for a night or the whole weekend. Get drunk and get between the sheets.

One day when we got together I decided I should say something.... anything!!

So I looked at her and said, "Pass the wine, eh?"

socially acceptable prejudice
Posted: 8/16/2009 11:42:56 AM

It is simply what WE are attracted to
It is NOT being prejudiced.


Ya'... but the funny thing is... you never know what that is. Sure... I come on a dating website and say something like "I would never date Paige -- she's too tall". I want someone who is 5'4" so that when she puts on heels she is still one inch shorter then my 5'7. Yet.... been married twice, with both wives taller than me.

I don't want someone who is over-weight -- yet me second wife had an extra 10 lbs.

We 'all get a picture in our mind about the perfect mate and their physical characteristics. But the truth is, it doesn't really matter... 'cause when you find the right gal/guy ... everything else is acceptable.

Funny too... I've rejected a couple of prospects simple because they were taller than me. They could have been the third Mrs. Stevens; but it's a dating website and they weren't picture perfect. Go figure...

mysterious crush from afar?
Posted: 8/16/2009 11:05:47 AM
I've never seen her in downtown Truro, but her name is Sandra Bullock.

Ya' know, I'm too busy making a living to stalk her, but if I had the means -- I'd show up on one of her movie sets and say "Hey Sandy! I know you told me to "go to hell, yesterday... but that was yesterday. How 'bout a coffee?"
