WHY CANT I SEEM TO FIND THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE ? Posted: 5/5/2009 9:00:24 PM
Yep...Everyone's right here Hon. I am a Web Developer by trade and one of the classes that I took was in Internet Ettiquette. And CAPS ARE A NO-NO! See? Do you see how it can look like you're yelling? It really stands out! Almost like the BOLD and ITALICS *OR BOTH TOGETHER* to really get your message across! So that's how you can accentuate how you come across from the other side of a computer screen! I also have a background in Printing and Graphics and when building peep's resumes and profiles for employment and marketing, using all caps only works in HEADLINES! F.Y.I. I think the ailing economy might have some men a bit stressed and not as serious as to wanting to take a woman out?? It's also spring and most men are back to work working outside to make ends meet to support not only themselves but their kids...So not only are they pressed for time but also financially as well. Be patient...It'll happen...That's what I'm having to do as well... We're all in the same boat together. I hope I was of some kind of help to you. Take care! ~Karen

SUGGESTION: Add a Drop Down for What Physical Traits We Are Looking For Posted: 4/28/2009 10:25:10 PM
Hey Markus...Here's a really good suggestion here. Because I found it quite frustrating that a lot of guys are more into "average" or "thinner" women...or women that are "blonde" or "brunette" ... not "redhead". So...You know how you have the Drop Down menus when describing who WE are? What if a section was added about WHO we are LOOKING FOR? That would make it so much easier. Because a lot of guys don't really describe in their ABOUT ME section WHO they are looking for...So it's frustrating when I send them an introductory email and get responses back "Sorry...you're not my type." I think, "Well, who IS your type? I wouldn't have wasted our time had I known and it was on your profile!" Do you understand? I hope so! This might help a lot of people out! Thank you so much! ~Karen Subject Line Edited to reflect contents so people can search on it - It's a given that it's a suggestion since this is the Help/Suggestion Forum Trappedonbayst

Can Someone Please Help Me Write My Profile? Posted: 4/28/2009 7:38:02 PM
Well, like a lot of the experts say, you need to have some interests and list your interests. Then in the About Me section, expand on those interests. Then explain in detail on who exactly you are looking for. Describe who your Mrs. Right would be and what you would do for you. Maybe an expert will come along and help you out a little better than I as I, too, needed some profile writing help. GOOD LUCK!

Hey Thanks Mod! I was praying someone would come in and help! I also wasn't feeling too good and was beginning to get a little cranky. Especially when I had asked a question about dating and behaviors and it turned into my weight and I felt like I needed a different forum! LOL To the gal that mentioned something about that if we all got hooked up after just a couple emails then there wouldn't be any singles...Yeah...I never saw it from that perspective before...but then again...ISN'T THAT WHY WE'RE HERE??? Anyway...Thanks for all the advice. Have a good day!

Re-Review My Profile Please? Posted: 4/27/2009 4:09:19 AM
Lake County Gal and Mike I was able to fix my profile and got the bullet list off like Mike suggested and adjusted my pics. Does it look better? Does it READ better? I even added some of my educational and career goals and hobbies. Thank you...

Can Someone Please Help Me Write My Profile? Posted: 4/26/2009 6:24:26 PM
Some people have a really good way of reviewing and writing very creative profiles that really get the emails! If someone can review mine, and help me write a very fun and creative profile, I would be very honored! I was just advised to limit my photos of only pictures of me So I removed the pix of my kids/pets from directly off my profile page so they can focus on me for now. I want to keep my playlist tho. Thanx!

"BBW, " "a few extra pounds," it's still obesity, and it's still a potentially fatal disease. That's really mean. That's why I as I have said lost 100 lbs. so far with my membership at Gold's Gym! I only have 50 more lbs. to reach my ideal goal weight for my age! My profile picture! From paid memberships that an x paid for with LA Weight Loss and the Gold's Gym I paid for, the help of sparkpeople (like Weight Watchers) and my doctor and staying active with my kids...I am losing weight. My daughter and I can almost now wear each other's clothes! I have went from a size 32 (or 4x) all the way down to a size 22/24W (or XL-2X) !! My daughter is 15 and wears a size 18W (L)!! People should not be judgmental. Nobody is "PERFECT". It's not the weight...Like I said, even when I was thin and athletic...I still had this problem...It's the attitude with people. Men are just using this as an EXCUSE.

True beauty comes from within. And I have a membership at Gold's Gym and have lost 100 lbs. so far from actively losing the weight put on by the stress that my x has created. I've lost not only a lot of baggage but a lot of weight. 50 more lbs. and I'll be at my ideal goal weight for my age. My trainer has helped me significantly! If I can lose more...Then great! More power to me! Even when I was thin and athletic...I received the same responses. Only shallow people see the Barbie dolls...and it's the High Maintenance Barbie dolls that these men keep getting hurt by and they are the ones that continue getting hit on and that's how the circle starts...they cheat...yadda yadda yadda... I'm your average genuine girl next door.

Hey there! I have a serious question here. I'm not quite understanding when men say that they're looking for that Christian woman who shares the same quality as themselves (BBQs, fishing, camping, cooking, holding hands...a good friend turning into a LTR)...then say in their post they're tired of the women coming on to them, hitting on them and "why do all women seem to only want sex?" Then I come along because I'm not looking for sex. I'm looking for what they're looking for. The friendship, LTR thing. Then sometimes I get a response back! "You're the answer to my dreams!" Sometimes I get..."You're not really who I'm looking for"... If I get the latter response...I usually only get an email or two but then they "drop off the face of the 'net". Are they being attracted back to the women that only want the sexual experience??? Are these men "toxic"? And how do I educate myself on these type of men in the ads that I pick out to know how to avoid them? I'm ramming my head into a very hard brick wall... Trying to change my viewpoint in my quest for searching for my Mr. Right... Thanx!

Favorite Quotes Posted: 9/9/2006 6:03:21 PM
Let's face it: a date is a job-interview, that lasts all night. The only difference between a date and a job interview is: not many job-interviews is there a chance you'll end up naked at the end of it. -- Jerry Seinfeld My grandmother's 90. She's dating. He's about 93. It's going great. They never argue. They can't hear each other. -- Catherine Ladman. My mom always complains about my lack of a boyfriend. Well, next time she asks, I'm going to tell her I'm dating two different guys : Mr. Duracell and Mr. Energizer. -- Michelle Landry

Rules For Men, Finally!! Posted: 9/9/2006 5:49:18 PM
Rules For Men Explained -- Finally! For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works. Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. "That's just not fair!", you exclaim. Sorry, that's the way the game is played. Here is a guide to the points system: SIMPLE DUTIES You make the bed ...........................................................................................................................+1 You

Why It's GREAT to be a GUY!! Posted: 9/9/2006 5:41:05 PM
Why It's Great To Be A Guy Phone conversations last 30 seconds You know useful stuff about tanks and airplanes A 5-day vacation requires only one suitcase Bathroom lines are 80% shorter You can open all your own jars Old friends don't give you grief if you've lost or gained weight When clicking through the channels you don't have to stop on every shot of someone crying You can go to the bathroom alone You can leave a hotel room bed unmade The garage is all yours The remote is yours and yours alone You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness You see the humor in "Terms of Endearment" You never have to clean the toilet You can be showered and ready in 10 minutes Wedding plans take care of themselves If someone forgets to invite you to something, they can still be your friend Your underwear costs are really cheap – a 3-pack for maybe 7 bucks None of your co-workers have the power to make you cry Chocolate is just another snack You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger seat Three words: Flowers fix everything! Pair of shoes is more than enough You can say anything and not worry about what people think Car mechanics tell you the truth You don't care if someone doesn't notice your new haircut Gray hair and wrinkles add character Wedding dress $2000, Tux rental $100 You don't care if someone is talking behind your back You don't pass on the dessert and then mooch off someone else's If you don't call your buddy when you said you would, he won't tell your friends you've changed If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you might become lifelong buddies The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected If something mechanical doesn't work, you can bash it with a hammer and throw it across the room New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet You can watch a game in silence for hours without your buddy thinking, "He must be mad at me" One mood, all the time. -- B O N U S -- ****************************************************** The Perfect Husband Store A friend of mine told me about this new Husband Shopping Center where a woman could go to choose from among many men for her husband. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place. So, a couple of girlfriends go to the place to find a man as a prospective husband. First floor, the door had a sign saying : "These men have jobs and love kids." The women read the sign and say "Well that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up". So up they go. Second floor says: "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking" Hmmm, say the girls. But, I wonder what's further up? Third floor: "These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework." Wow! say the women. Very tempting, BUT, there's more further up! And up they go. Fourth floor: "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak." Oh, mercy me. But just think! What must be awaiting us further on! So up to the fifth floor they go. The sign on 5th floor door said: "This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please.

20 RESPONSES TO USE WITH TELEMARKETERS!!! Posted: 9/9/2006 5:32:03 PM
This oughta get the calls to stop!! I need to try some of these!!! ROFLLL (Again...I copy and pasted from a website...) 20 Responses to Use With Telemarketers (PG) 1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money. 2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems. My arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died . . . " 3. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located, how long it has been in business, how many people work there, how they got into this line of work if they are married, how many kids they have, etc. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary. 4. This works great if you are male. Telemarketer: "Hi, my name is Judy and I'm with XYZ Company. " You: Wait for a second and with a real husky voice ask, "What are you wearing?" 5. Cry out in surprise, "Judy? Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where she could know you from. 6. Say "No" over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one, and keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. Sing in an operatic voice if possible. Or a "Tiny Tim" falsetto. This is most fun if you can do it until they hang up. 7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends, would you be my friend?" 8. If the company cleans rugs, respond: "Can you get out blood? Can you get out goat blood? How about human blood?" 9. After the Telemarketer gives his or her spiel, ask him or her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you can't just give your credit card number to a complete stranger. 10. Tell the Telemarketer that you work for the same company, and they can't sell to employees. 11. Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a Telemarketer, set the receiver down, scream, "Oh my God!" and then hang up. 12. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back. When the Telemarketer explains that telemarketers cannot give out their home numbers say, "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The Telemarketer will agree and you say, "Me either!" Hang up. 13. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times. 14. Tell them it is dinner time, but ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation. 15. Tell the Telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they could bring you some beer. 16. Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a number. 17. Tell the Telemarketer, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But I should probably tell you, I'm not wearing any clothes." 18. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on, Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your momma?" 19. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up . . . louder . . . louder . . . 20. Tell them to talk very slowly, because you want to write every word down. NOTICE: The above have all been tested and approved for use on telemarketers. No Telemarketers were harmed in the testing. ******************************************************************************* I suppose some degree of commerce would grind to a halt if telephone solicitors weren't able to call people at home during the dinner hour. But that doesn't make it any more pleasant. Now Steve Rubenstein, a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, has proposed "Three Little Words" -- based on his brief experience in a telemarketing operation -- that would stop the nuisance for all time. The three little words are "Hold on, please." Saying this while putting down your phone and walking off --instead of hanging up immediately -- would make each telemarketing call so time-consuming that boiler rooms would grind to a halt. When you eventually hear the phone company's beep-beep-beep tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.

CONCERNING OUR OIL SHORTAGE... Posted: 9/8/2006 6:36:22 PM
I heard this one today and thought I'd share!! A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country. ~~~ Well, there's a very simple answer. ~~~ Nobody bothered to check the oil. ~~~ We just didn't know we were getting low ~~~ The reason for that is purely geographical. ~~~ Our OIL is located in ~~~ ALASKA ~~~ California ~~~ Coastal Florida ~~~ Coastal Louisiana ~~~ Kansas ~~~ Oklahoma ~~~ Pennsylvania and Texas ~~~ & Our DIPSTICKS are located in Washington, DC!!!!

Will there be a world war III? Posted: 9/8/2006 6:29:03 AM
Eeeeeekkkk!!!! RUN TO THE HILLS!!!! Better yet....find me a Bomb Shelter!! QUICK!! I have children to save!! "And collect every animal in the world by two...Two Mosquitoes...male and female!!" Why don't we just find another planet and move there? Or better yet...take those that want to kill themselves and cause a disturbance for others and place THEM on that planet so they can blow themselves up? Well...In the Bible, in the book of Revelations, they say that the Gulf War was the war of Babylon. The End of the World is supposed to be coming and many theologians can testify to this with accounts from the book of Revelations. I just hope I'm not around to witness it and that I'm looooong gone by then. Of course, if I have any grandkids or great grandkids...I hope they learn the skills to protect themselves...but then again...No one can protect themselves from a bomb that will blow up the Earth. MAKE LOVE NOT WAR

Is there a difference between Incarnated Angels and Earth Angels? Posted: 9/5/2006 8:52:56 AM
Earth angels are like magical pixies with fairy dust whereas Incarnated angels resemble angry hobgoblins and sometimes bite. But if you take your medication they shouldn't bother you. HA HA...Very funny. And as far as the other guy is concerned: Yes, I believe in God...And I was quoting a book...I didn't write that "garbage" as you called it. But I have read literally hundreds of testimonials from people and their belief in angels or earth angels because of a miraculous "save" from an accident or something and just wanted to find out what other people thought. I appreciate your input tho.

Crocodile Hunter gets killed Posted: 9/5/2006 8:48:48 AM
I'm saddened to see Steve Irwin go. I was just talking about him to a co-worker the other day. She owns a pet alligator. He was the reason why my daughter wants to be a wildlife conservationist. I am hoping that she will continue with her dreams and pursue her happiness for the animal kingdom, like he did. He was so young!! And my heart and prayers goes out to his wife (who was in Tasmania at the time) and his young children!!

SUGGESTION: Psychological and Personality Testing Posted: 9/4/2006 8:03:23 PM
I can't see the men taking the time to actually take these tests. They barely write anything in their profiles as it is...much less take the time to answer question after question after question. Unless they are the "unique" type. And then those men are usually "wierd". LOL My own personal experiences talking again. However...I'm stupid. I'll take any test you throw at me!! DUH!!

Is there a difference between Incarnated Angels and Earth Angels? Posted: 9/4/2006 1:41:57 PM
Because from what I have heard and learned...There is very little difference. I didn't know there was such a thing as Incarnated Angels until I read several of Dr. Doreen Virtue's books. I always thought Earth Angels were Angels that were temporarily placed on this earth (by God or some other divinity) to help us or assist us physically in some sort of way. Then thru my studies I was told about Incarnated Angels. These are people like you and me who in a former lifetime (or lifetimes) have been angels or spirit guides and are now living amongst us as angels. QUOTE from Dr. Doreen Virtue's book "Healing with the Fairies" "They are men, women and children of extraordinary beauty, with sweet heart-shaped faces and cupid lips. "They tend to be heavy set or struggle with their weight, because this Earth environment is among the harshest in the galaxy system. Angels tend to put weight on their Earthly bodies to buffer themselves from the negative energy upon the planet and also because they absorb negative energy from others, since incarnated angels usually put themselves in Earthly situations that promote the absorportion of negative energy. "They become professional helpers, working as nurses, teachers, flight attendants, therapists and such. Even if they are not employed as helpers, inarnated angels are put in the position of "helper" frequently. Strangers pour their hearts to incarnated angels saying, "There's just something about you that makes me feel that I can trust you! Of course there is! Incarnated angels see the very best in everyone, and it makes a person feel wonderful to talk to such a being. "Yet the flip side for the inarnated angels is that their love lives are often in shambles, as they fallin love with everyone they meet. Therefore, angels may marry humans who are technically 'inappropriate parnters' simply because the angels can see the potential within these people and vow to help change them into ideal mates." Hmmmm??? Interesting...

Is it okay for a woman to hit a man? Posted: 9/4/2006 1:25:43 PM
:Anyhow he finally called the police during one of her abusive moments, and when the police showed up they were not at all compassionate about the situation, and told her that maybe if she had a nap she would feel better and that he should just get out of the house for a couple of hours. When he got back she was worse and went to the back bedroom and came out with a gun and shot him 4 times. He lived and they were divorced before she was done with court, and is in jail now for not long enough.: (o.k. I don't know how to quote!! Sorry) OMG!!!!!!! What is WRONG with this world????????? I had a restraining order on my mother once because she physically assaulted me and attempted to kidnap my daughter when she was a baby!! A local police chief took me in until I was able to get back up on my feet!! The first thing that the police should've done was immediately restrained her and placed him in a safe shelter temporary until they could get away. I'm happy he's o.k. now...He IS o.k. now, isn't he melodytime?

How do you experience the Divine? (a ? for ALL faiths) Posted: 9/4/2006 1:08:56 PM
This is what Dr. Doreen Virtue explained in her book. About connecting with the angels a.k.a. Divine. God IS everywhere. And if you take time to meditate and soak in all good He has to offer...Your stress level will seriously decrease and you will experience more and more of these feelings and Grow from it!! I enjoy days like that too!! Thank you for sharing!

Is there a difference between Incarnated Angels and Earth Angels? Posted: 9/4/2006 12:42:21 PM
Hello!! I've been doing a lot of study about Angels. I truly believe that Divine Intervention has gotten me to where I am today. I believe with all my heart that I have met and SEEN my guardian angel and my daughter can testify, too...because she was there!! (saved us from a nasty car accident!) And I heard about God using people to do good unto others. Which is why I thought these few individuals I have met in life HAD to have been something of an Earth Angel or Angel Incarnate. However, I started doing research thru Sylvia Browne and Dr. Doreen Virtue and after reading what they said about angels...Hmmm...Is there really a difference between the two? God has given me a remarkable gift but it only happens when it's absolutely necessary. I have had dreams that have come true, dejavu experiences and a few visions that have actually SAVED the lives of a few of my closes "friends". But like I said, I'm not saying I'm psychic but I have strong feelings about my spiritual belief and Sylvia Browne and Dr. Doreen Virtue I believe have hit the "nail" on the "head" with their belief because I feel the same way.

One Night stands or a relationship? Posted: 9/4/2006 11:37:07 AM
AMEN!!! I have cut out a newspaper clipping I found in a Dear Abby column when I was 15 years old. Lost the clipping...remember the poem by heart. Am using it for dating advice for my daughter: "When I met him I liked him When I liked him I loved him When I loved him I let him When I let him I lost him!" Men need to have control. Women need to be in "control" and not let the man "take control". If you never see him again he wasn't worth it because he was only looking for one thing anyway: A One Night Stand. If you're lucky enough and he has interest...He'll call back and come back for more cuz he wants what you want: A Relationship.
