men outnumber women on dating sites Fact? or Myth? Posted: 8/13/2009 7:57:45 PM
I did a search on every age level in a 25 mile radius of myself for both genders. I would not want to be searching for a partner in your city. As I said in my earlier post, location plays a big part in it. Here are the results for Ottawa, Ontario, Canada as searched for both genders in 5 year increments: 20 - 24 Male 281, Female 600+ 25 - 29 Male 299, Female 600+ 30 - 34 Male 223, Female 600+ 35 - 39 Male 193, Female 600+ 40 - 44 Male 136, Female 600+ 45 - 49 Male 158, Female 600+ I would have broken it down further, but I think this gets my point across.

I would imagine that some of these statistics could be skewed. Although it represents an overall average, location will definitely play a big role in the percentages. Some locations have higher ratios of women to men and vice versa.

I'm just going to take a wild stab at this one. I believe there are more women due to the fact that many dating sites allow them free memberships to try and get men to pay for theirs. As liberated as our world may be men are still doing the chasing and a lot of these sites know that. Some even advertise "Free for women."

Younger men have spoiled me!!! Posted: 8/10/2009 3:59:54 PM
The truth of the matter is that as hard as it is to find someone to love, PERIOD, as long as the two people are above the age of consent, it's nobody's godamned business what they do. I couldn't agree more, very well said!

You already know the answer to this nonsense. You are using the excuse of "we have fun together" just to bang her. I have to say I like the way you "bang" that one out straight up, Senorita.

Maybe, just maybe it is about feeling young and beautiful. Younger men tend to make you feel that way. The same would apply to older men with younger women. The younger ones seek experience while the older ones seek refreshment. The question seems to be about the timing. When will I not be attractive enough for younger men but yet attractive enough to find someone my age so I don't have to grow old alone. It seems as though it might be a fine balancing act.

Cameltoe- a question men need to ask! Posted: 8/7/2009 4:31:04 PM
Maybe it is unintentional in the attempt to attract the opposite sex. But just maybe it is intentional in the pleasure sense. All that walking and rubbing...perma pleasure...lol.

Nice guys finish last is a sad truth... Posted: 5/7/2009 6:24:37 PM
Involve yourself in community activities where you may find other genuine people. You need to place yourself in situations where you will find other nice people with similar interests. There are many ways you can find the type of lady you seek, you just have to put yourself out there in those situations. Volunteer for community events. They do not have to be boring events, they can be music festivals, winter carnivals, etc, etc. At the very least you will feel great about what you are doing.

Is honesty the best policy.. Posted: 5/7/2009 6:10:16 PM
Be honest and most importantly be you. That way you will likely attract the type of girl that appeals to you. If you make yourself out to be something you are not, you run the risk of attracting someone that you would not normally be attracted to. If you are just looking to bed someone temporarily then do as most guys in that situation do and say whatever it takes to accomplish your goal. If this is the case you may want to check out the "DOC LOVE" @ http://ca.askmen.com/. According to DOC LOVE, his advice is apparently what most women seek. At the very least it makes for some hilarious reading. It usually makes my day. If you are looking for a long term partner then be you so when you attract someone, she truly is attracted to you and not your other personality. Otherwise it will be a rude awakening for her.

Women who use toys Posted: 5/2/2009 2:18:13 PM
I would like the men's point of view of what they think about women who use sex toys. Why would any guy not want his lady to get completely turned on prior to engaging in physical contact. She will be that much more receptive and reciprocating...that can only be a good thing.

sex with older man Posted: 5/1/2009 5:33:33 PM
I don't understand any guy who doesn't derive his own pleasure from driving his woman absolutely insane with her own pleasure-! I get so intoxicated by driving a woman crazy...! I couldn't agree more. Giving goes a long way. And the positive to come of it is that she will likely reciprocate 3 fold.

Relationships and Women, hey guys what do you think? Posted: 4/4/2009 6:24:40 PM
My ex common-law summed it up quite simply. People keep chasing that first time high. That is why people flirt, they want to feel the high of being desired. When it wanes from the relationship, they start to chase it again. I would call it true love if you find the person that you share that high with and no longer require to chase it.

Do successful men want higher maintenance women? Posted: 4/4/2009 6:01:06 PM
Most people appreciate someone who makes at least a little effort with their appearance and I would imagine most men assume a woman is going to wear a little mascara and lipgloss. I really do not think that mascara and lipgloss would qualify as placing someone in a high maintenance category....Just a thought from Pizza.

Men in their 40's, attracted to women in their 40's? Posted: 4/4/2009 5:49:27 PM
I'm rarely contacted by local men in my age bracket. Being 45 myself, I consider 40something year old men to be in my preferred age range. I would say keep trying. I personally can't see why any man in his 40's would not want to date such an attractive lady. I'm not sure if it's me/my profile that isn't attractive to those men, or if it's a case of men when they hit the big 4 0 preferring women a decade or more younger than themselves. Just my take on men over 40 dating women a decade or so younger. I personally find that I much prefer the intellect of an older mature woman. As pretty as a younger woman may be, when most of them speak a major disconnect happens for me. I prefer a woman who can communicate intelligently and when you add the maturity and experience into the equation; nothing can compare. I find nothing more annoying than the way younger generations speak, it is just so immature.

I'm I the only man that think this way? Posted: 2/15/2009 1:19:43 PM
Making love just elevates you to a mental and physical place that when void of emotional feelings you likely will not experience. If there is deep love, you almost feel that you truly want to be one with your partner. When I hit this level with my equal nothing compares.

Skipping for cardio Posted: 2/15/2009 12:10:48 PM
If you get bored with your skipping routine, try doing it to the beat of music. You can also try arm crossovers. You can cross them and come back right away or you can cross them and keep spinning your rope with them crossed. Try some double jumps, where you try to pass the rope under your feet twice in one jump up. (You may need to jump an little higher though. As you might have noticed, I love skipping.

If you ever decide to start weight training, skipping is an excellent warm up to your routine. It works out a very large range of muscles in the lower and upper body.

Found out my partner is secretly bisexual!! Devastated!! Posted: 1/24/2009 7:02:09 PM
Our relationship is perfect with the exception of this. Which isn't a small thing IMO. First the fact that he is Bi....second the fact that he hid it....and third the fact that he's lied about it for the last year!!! Keeping information from each other is not lying and as you state he seemed pretty embarrassed about it. You admit that you have also fantasized about being with other women. Have you ever communicated this minor relationship detail to your partner before now. Is this forum the first place you have revealed it? Men and women equally keep information from each other. The key to a successful relationship is to be honest and open. So my take is that maybe this could be the best thing that could happen to the two of you. First it is bringing down some walls...that can only be good. You mention that the relationship is otherwise perfect. Well if it is so perfect this is your opportunity to make it even better. Suggest that he act on his fantasy and maybe you should too. That way you will never have to second guess yourselves ever again. If he crosses over to the other side, your question is answered. If you cross over to the other side, his question is answered. If you both decide that your preference is the opposite sex you will never question it again. Your relationship will become that much stronger for what you have experienced. You may even come to discover that you are each other's soul mates and will have great sex well into your 80's. Remember now that it is out in the open, keep it honest and open. This is not the time to close down the communication lines. You may also want to consider sexual counselling. This could be the best opportunity to mature your relationship to another level. Most importantly, do not forget to practise safe sex. Dr Sue Q107. Pizza

Yeah, I agree. Let's fear EVERYTHING We need not fear everything because everything is being created by one thing...and that one thing is mankind. It is a case of who can get who to listen to who and why. So I hope I have helped reduce your stress level because you now only have one thing to fear, rather than everything. The world has been lifted from your shoulders. Here's to economic prosperity in 2009...Happy New Year.

Would you consider Bagels to be a health food? Posted: 12/30/2008 9:59:44 PM
Your body requires energy at all times. The amount of carb intake would depend on the type of activity you are engaged in. In order to sustain aerobic activity you require carbs to replenish the energy that is burned at the cell level within the muscles. Without achieving the necessary balance your body will not perform to its peak and you may experience hitting the wall, the body will not want to continue. Regardless if you participate in aerobic activity or not, all diets should contain some amount of carbs considering that the two essential ingredients for the brain to function properly are oxygen and energy. Carbs are converted to energy, so you should never engage in a diet void of carbs. If you completely avoid carbs you could experience memory loss. You will have to do some research to determine what your intake should be and when to consume them for your activity. I could get into more of the science of it but I would have to pull out my coaching books and refresh myself a bit. It is sometimes better to research these things on your own to help make them stick.

running when its cold out Posted: 12/30/2008 9:30:12 PM
When running in the cold the mouth and nose are well capable of heating the air before it reaches the lungs. The problem is that the air is much drier and causes the airway to narrow thus making it difficult to breath. If you cover your mouth and nose you will trap moisture in the material, thus making it easier to breath on inhalation.

Workout program for police/army tests? Posted: 12/28/2008 7:03:05 PM
I have to agree with MilitaryMike. Being an ex military Physical Education and Recreation Instructor for the Canadian Forces there are four main areas you should concern yourself with. Aerobic conditioning (cardio-respiratory fitness), muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and some swimming skills. I am not sure what kind of tests you will undergo in Denmark but here are examples of what they test for in the Canadian Military. Running, push ups, sit ups, underhand grip pullups and a basic swimming standard test. The swimming test simulated that you may have to abandon a ship at some point throughout your career so it was conducted with your combat clothing on (pants and t-shirts). The difficulty of the test is determined by what you are being tested for. Airborne troops had much more difficult standards to meet. Search and Rescue technicians are probably the toughest in the Canadian Forces for obvious reasons. Firefighters had a tougher than average standard for obvious reasons also. As MilitaryMike suggested, you may want to do some research so you can make an educated decision. I am sure your recruiting office is an excellent place to start and can tell you what standards you will have to meet. Pizza

Nurses in the hospital.. NEED to vent! Posted: 12/28/2008 6:46:04 PM
I think the issues you have been exposed to is an ongoing problem in Niagara. I am originally from Welland and have been back quite a bit in the last two years due to family members being admitted for a variety of reasons. I currently live in Ottawa and find the level of care to be very professional in the city. I have had hip surgery in Kingston and found the level of care professional there as well. I believe one of the issues is that most of the doctors and nurses want positions in the well established hospitals with the best up to date equipment. They are attracted to Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston (Queens University working hospital), London (Western University working hospital - eleven story hospital right on campus), Hamilton (McMaster University working hospital). Some of the medical professionals are truly dedicated to their professions and do not mind going where they are needed. Others are truly driven by cash and seek out the best opportunities to support their needs. Although a lot of people are against an amalgamated hospital for Regional Niagara that I have read about lately, I believe would be a good way to possibly attract some talent to the area. A new hospital with new equipment could make it a desirable place to work. Location would have to be carefully considered to meet the needs of all the communities. But if they use software such as ESRI GIS to determine the best possible solution according to the demographics of the area it would probably lean more toward the north end of the Niagara Peninsula as that is where the majority of the population is. They would then have to consider access for the other communities. Near the QEW would probably meet all accessibility needs as people of Fort Erie and Niagara Falls can use the QEW for access and people from Port Colborne and Welland could use the 406 to the QEW for access. It is a complicated situation in Niagara, but it is one that needs to be addressed. Pizza

Go with whatever you feel best with. If comfy is your thing, who really cares about what others say. Do your thing and most of all be you. I am sure there will still be the odd occasion or date where you will want to dress to the nines. And at that time you will probably find it very refreshing. Pizza

I was stationed with some British soldiers once and just because you had to leave your room and walk about 50 metres to the latrine during the night, these guys would keep empty pop bottles beside their bed so they could relieve themselves without getting out of bed....now that's disgusting. They were just too lazy to walk to the washroom. They would then wake up in the morning and stand outside their rooms and empty the bottles on the ground, or down the exterior wall of the living quarters or off the balcony of the upper deck. I just wanted to rub their face in it....lol.

Cheggy died if I'm not mistaken but I hung around with him when I was 15 and lived with my mother on Almond St for about a year. I grew up on Elmview St just off Niagara St, then we moved to Line Ave off Quaker Rd and my parents now live on Leaside Drive. I went to E.L. Crossley and Welland High. A lot of my really good friends went to Centennial High though. Pizza

Rent a hall - have a house party - do a card game somewhere. Just offering some suggestions....I used to be from Welland. Hey you could book some hotel rooms at the Casa and do it there. That way no one has to drive anywhere afterward. I'm in the military and our Sgt's Mess does a New Years Eve party like that. The get a reduced rate on the rooms for booking in quantity and people can have a good time and not worry about drinking and driving or having designated drivers Pizza

Tattoos Posted: 11/8/2008 6:38:48 PM
Are tattoos acceptable? If you like tattoos and he does not, the two of you may not be in the same ball park. That could then root out the guys you might not care to attract. The tattoo will be yours, why worry about it. I have one and plan to get another because I want to. I am doing it for me and not to impress someone else nor would I not get one because someone might not like. Life is too short to worry about minor issues, just go with what you want and don't worry about it...it is your body. The tattoo you want also represents significant parts of your life...it's not like your having your boyfriend's name tattooed on your bicep. Mine represent significant events from my military career and I wouldn't give them up for anything. One thing you may want to give some thought to though is location. You may want to locate them where they are visible when you are in a bathing suit but you may want them covered when you dress in an evening gown. That will afford you the flexibility to show them when you want but yet hide them when necessary. Anyway they don't bother me but I'm sure everyone has a different opinion on the topic. And in all reality will it change the type of person you are? If you are anything like some Irish people I've met, you are probably a good person so it really wouldn't matter. Cheers!

Isn't that also why we're now perilously close to financial ruin - because many do not understand the notion of living happily within their means. Wow, someone else who really gets it. The old bigger and better syndrome even though I cannot afford it. You are so right. It might turn out good for the people who could not afford it in the past.

I find when it come to guys some of them seem sincere as though they are actually a good friend of the lady trying to spark some interest her way. But then there are the testimonials that seem as though it is a dog urinating on a fire hydrant and marking it's territory...lol. Must be the testosterone thing going on there. It reminds me of that song by Stone Temple Pilots that goes something like this..."I can sense when the dogs begin to smell her."

From Russia, With Love???? Posted: 9/17/2008 7:43:47 PM
Have you ever heard of mail order brides. If not conduct a google search on it to see how many women are looking to leave third world countries. Here is a list of areas that young women are trying to leave. Russia, Eastern European countries, Middle East, Far East, South America. They are looking to create a relationship long enough to acquire a citizenship in a Western country. The countries they target are usually England, Australia, Canada, USA. You will be amazed at how many are out there. I have a friend who married a Russian girl when he was stationed at an Embassy in Moscow. He was telling me that it is very common for young women to persue older men for stability.
