Okay..next one: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The dog had an owner. The owner had a gun. His wife now has a new fur coat. The fox wasn't that quick now,was he?

Why do women try to make men feel quilty? Posted: 9/4/2009 8:08:57 AM
I'm responsible for me, you're responsible for you. If, after a good, logical conversation we continue to come at a place where we keep making and allowing ourselves to be miserable in guilt and hurt feelings.... [insert any other negative emotion], it's maybe time to hang it up.... Very nicely put,Twinkie! Especially if football gets turned off. Turning off ANY playoff game is a cardinal sin!!!

Why women want guys to come to THEM Posted: 8/25/2009 9:29:12 AM
Well, that's the whole premise of why some would rather sit and wait for men to come to them. Hedging their bets. Sometimes you get a bigger jackpot with w 7/10 offsuit. It only gets them what is easily available Which isn't much fun. a concerted effort to tempt "fate". I like to tempt fate...I'm evil that way. Most guys will routinely go after what may very well be out of their reach, sometimes succeeding, and sometimes failing at the numbers game, and develop a thicker skin due to it. And,some women do,too.I love a challenge.Much more rewarding,I think. But then,I've got a hide as thick as a rhino's.

Add me to the "kicked out of the girls club"...and I'm an avid reader, but Lord spare me from the "bodice ripper" novels with Fabio on the cover. Crap!Another club that won't take me! Ummm...I used to read 'bodice rippers' quite often,and a recurring theme is that the heroine is too strong-minded and willful for the period in which the novel takes place. She risks life and limb (and kidnapping and lecherous advances etc..) to be with man man she loves.And...usually has sex with them before marriage (gasp!) "As the Viscount slowly and seductively surveys Madeline's beauteous nakedness,she nimbly begins to undress him..his powerful manhood is awakened and Madeline,flushed with desire,whispers huskily,"Take me...I'm yours forever..." P.S..Fabio has a face like a daschund.

Can I not get over the past, or is there really something there? Posted: 8/12/2009 4:57:57 AM
I have no doubt that you still feel love for your wife,but the trust is gone. Having come from a military family,I know that being married to military man is not for the weak-minded or faint of heart.It takes a great deal of loyalty and faithfulness,perhaps moreso than an 'everyday' marriage. She's already betrayed that loyalty and faithfulness. The question remains..do you think she can change that? If not,then your future together will be pretty bleak.

Real world vs. Cyberspace? Posted: 8/10/2009 4:54:55 PM
Maybe because she got to see you in real life, watch you interact with your friends and children etc for a day, and liked what she saw? Maybe there was something in your initial email or profile that she wasn't quite sure about? I don't get it, OP...wouldn't you be pleased that she actually was interested enough upon seeing you in person , to contact you, even belatedly? As opposed to just going on one or two pictures on a website? I agree with sweetness-one on this. Profiles are ,at best,two dimensional representations of who we really are. Apparently,she found you attractive in real life,and got back to you. Nothing wrong with that.

I just simply use something that is in everyone. Innate. Instincts. This is how we function within our species. We are born with this! I guess some people are more in tune with their instincts. Ummm..no,we're not. Flrting is NOT an innate behaviour. It's a learned conditioned response. The only innate behaviours we are born with are the needs to eat,sleep,pee and poop. And,upon sexual maturation,to mate. How we function within our species is either a learned conditioned behaviour or a learned adaptive behaviour. So,on that note...I'm off to a BBQ,to practice some of my learned adaptive behaviours,and be my witty,charming self!

All of these long convoluted threads from....singles who have been here for a long time....I guess they know it all. There speaks experience. I know!!! They know POF politics...that is what they are experienced in!! Sorry...my bad. I am not experienced very much with idealistic single POF politics. In case it hasn't been said before,this is first and foremost a single's dating site. So...why bash people for being just that? Tonite is going to be an interesting night. I have gathered about 20-25 single and newly married or newly relationshiped ladies to come to my place. Some have been single for ages. Some are new at the singles world. Some just got out of it. Some are very attractive and some are not so....( according to to some visually governed men), some are from the lower economic sector and some are doing very well financially. Some have a higher level of intelligence and some are just naively sweet. Some have had many men sexually and some haven't. A good cross-section as there is tons of experience talking. Maybe it's just me,but,this seems somewhat obsessive.I mean,it's a post..on a thread..on a forum..on a website.So what?Why feel the need to be so hellbent to prove yourself? I just hope it doesn't denegrate to what some harpies are like on here....no it won't. Again...why the unnecessary bashing? My next session will be with my man and his friends as some of them are single. Session?Is this thread really that important?I can think of much more important things to do...like painting my toenails. Just curious as most of you think I have no experience...which is too funny ...seeing where it comes from... AGAIN with the unnecessary rudeness...why?Because some people don't agree with you? So?That's life.Why be catty? These are all real women and do not subscribe to the Cosmo mentality More rudeness..and you wonder why people take offense??? Then...with my experience...as I feel I have more than some of you on here....way more...I will come out with what is a reality. No..you will come out with your reality.Again..why be so hellbent to try and prove yourself,to the point of being rude and disrespectful to the opinion's of other's? I myself have been on this site for years,even whilst in a relationship,but I would never..EVER...try and make other feel small for being single!That is completely uncalled for! Now..back to OT: not everything about relationships is black and white,because as individuals we all think and do things differently.What works for some,doesn't work for others. That is the beauty of individuality!

What does it matter who persued. It's HOW the persuing is done that makes it successful or a failure. If two people are drawn to one another and the so called 'dance' is intriguing and sensual and attractive to both people, then success has been accomplished. Whether the relationship lasts 5 months or 5 years. regardless of who started it. Absolutely! There's something about the word reciprocity....give and take. If a man's interested in me,and vice versa,I'll let him know how I feel. Mutual attraction is just that...mutual.

Dating while pregnant, or just friends. Posted: 7/23/2009 7:05:55 PM
Time to grow up. You have the mentality of a person a decade younger than you are. Which is mighty sad that you are able to breed. But you'll just keep attacking anyone who gives you any bit of advice. You need to stop being so selfish and think of your kids. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it's more of an attitude problem than a pregnancy one. But,the OP has left the building.

I don't think anyone's being bytchy with you. It's just that you've only been out of your relationship for two months,and in two more months,you're going to be having a child. IMO,dating right now,shouldn't be a priority at all. You say yourself children are a blessing,so take some time off from the dating scene,and focus on that blessing.

Underwear - The New Relationship Indicator? Posted: 7/19/2009 6:40:48 PM
The question wasn't what type of underwear do you like best on a guy, but rather what his underwear (and the state it's in) tells you about him... If it's in a state of disarray with the rest of his clothes,on the floor,it tells me that we really,really like each other...

How old do they have to be to go threadbare? I'm not sure, but when I was a kid, I remember my mom getting us to help her dust around the house. For some reason, it was always dad's old underwear that he never wore anymore that she used as her dusters. That's what your mom called 'wiping the floor with his azz..'. Boxer briefs...mmmmmm.........

Are women who don't need men likely to ever find one and be happy? Posted: 7/13/2009 5:55:14 PM
Yes,Sweetness One, It does seem to come down to the 'need vs. want' debate. I went back and read every single reply to this thread (yeah,I had some time to kill.. ) Here's what I've seen; ~Women who chose to say "I need a man have,at times been classified as needy.clingy,emotionally dependant,and insecure, by some. Why?Because of the word need? No one has the right to say this person is any less capable of having a whole,healthy relationship than any one else. ~Women who chose to say "I don't need a man,have,at times been classified as bitter,angry,negative,crushed, and jaded,by some. Why? Because of the lack of the word need? No one has the right to say this person is any less capable of having a whole,healthy relationship with any one else,either. The only qualifier,I'll bring into this statement is that practically all of the women on here who said they don't need a man,it was for self-sufficiency.They also said they want/desire a relationship . IMO,they're all saying the same things,just in different ways. <div class="quote">Since the origonal question was polarizing and has now become a-sexual,, I will only speak from my perspective when I say... what the hell is wrong with prefering to be with someone??? Want/need... semantics. I PREFER it. This...right here....sums up my personal POV quite well. Thank you,Fa Que.

Do we really need film critics? Posted: 7/12/2009 6:04:41 PM
Has anyone here seen the cartoon series "The Critic"? I thought it was hilarious! I'll read what critics have to say,but ,unless I know ,through past reviews,that their film interest match my own,then I take it with a grain of salt.Same with friend's reviews of movies. I moonlight working at a video store,and,unless I really know the customer and their likes/dislikes when it comes to movies,I prefer not to give them a critique,even when they ask for one. If they insist,I will,but I also tell them that my taste in movies maybe different than theirs.

The blue goose casts no shadow on the frozen lilypad.. ...got it.... The red raven flies north in the summertime.. Just an opinion....yes,men and women do sometimes seem to be on different wavelengths when it comes to communication. But,I have known some women who were equally as direct as men.And,as far as I know,most of them were brought up in an environment where family communication was very honest and direct.Sooo...perhaps,the way one was taught to communicate may have some correlation.

Exception, women who say they don't need men, gay women, or women that were really abused might be this target. Are you for real?! Most average every day woman always needs a man, that is the way women are designed. Strangely I find the exact opposite that happens, MEN WHO DON'T NEED A WOMAN. Are you for real?!

Why do you girls go on and on about your kids? Personally,I don't. On dates i have to hear about how brilliant, sweet, great, big, super, athletic your kids are. how many goals or touchdowns they score, test scores, honor student, how pretty they are, blah, blah. Then,change the subject. We are not here for them we are here for you and yes i know they are a part of your life but not mine. As you say,they are a part of her life,a big part..and obviously a part of her life you don't really care about,judging by your post. Are your kids really all you have to talk about? Again..personally..no. Why do you think i want to know about every move they make? As I said before,if you don't want to talk about it,change the subject. Or,tell her to stop talking so much about her kids,which may end the date. Or...as was mentioned before,it it bugs you so much,don't date women with kids.

Wow how very bigoted of you.... maybe you should just be gay then so you have something to say to someone who would be interested in the same things as you...... I don't think the OP intended to be bigoted.He just copied and pasted a list that appears on this site. There's a men's 'favorite/least favorite conversation topic' list as well....I can't find it right now,but I'm pretty sure that it had 'sex' as the #1 favorite topic.

Why do we women do this to ourselves? Posted: 7/7/2009 5:39:42 PM
Why do we hang on to someone that we know in our heart really doesn't want us? You know the guy. The one who only contacts you once in awhile. The one who talks about the girl that he really fell for, but then dumped him for someone else. The one that you are just pretty darn sure is only out for a booty call, even though he says he's looking for more. Because you're hoping and praying the someday he'll "see the light". Sadly,though,it's not going to happen. Maybe he would be the luckiest guy on earth to be with you,but unfortunately,he wants to look elsewhere. Just gain the courage not to be his 'fallback' anymore. I know this may hurt,but hanging onto to something that's not right is hurting you even more in the long run.

Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 7/5/2009 10:58:56 AM
I'd be extremely worried if I had nothing but bad things to say about my exes.. I completely agree with this. After all,at some point ,there was caring or love,even if that's the only good thing you have to say. I don't have anything bad to say about my ex-husband.He's a decent person,honest,respectable,and kind.We,as a couple,did not work out. I'm friends with him,his wife and their children. Of course,there was anger and resentment on both sides when we first split,but we worked past it.No point in burying yourself in bitterness over the past.

What would it take to ask an adult child to move out? Posted: 6/27/2009 5:11:14 AM
Rules about chores, picking up after themselves, not eating all the food and/or contributing to the grocery bill worked really well for me. This was along the lines of what we discussed.If the child had a complete disregard for any rules you laid out,then perhaps it might be time for them to have their own place. Other thing mentioned were being disrespectful (constantly swearing at the parent),drug use in the home,things like that.
