Granny-Barbies!! Yuck or Yum!! Posted: 6/15/2007 10:30:39 PM
I have a few women friends who could be described as a " Granny-barbie". They are active, happy and healthy. Why would you fault someone for taking care of their bodies and being who they want to be?

Women In Seattle Posted: 6/1/2007 5:35:53 PM
All I have to say about this thread is (while shaking my head and rolling my eyes) if you don't like it, leave. Why would you live in a city that is so socially deviant? OH, and I was born and raised here. Why are you using a thread created for people to meet local people, to rake the city through the coals? Sheesh, get a life.

Have you ever noticed... Posted: 6/1/2007 5:14:16 PM
Actually, the truth is, yes, you do have to do something incredibly different then the usual: age, sex, location, what do you do for fun, what kind of music do you like, what movies have you seen....etc. Do you know how boring it is to type all this info over and over. If you're advertising negativity, you're probably not going to get any takers.....there are plenty of positive fish ...and, try referring to women as women, as opposed to girls. Do you like being called a boy?

older gentleman - longer hair Posted: 5/20/2007 9:02:22 AM
What is fashionable now? Seems like it's anything goes, and plus, you can do one of those long haired mohawks, like on American Idol. I think men with their own sense of style, whatever it may be, are always more attractive then those who let their moms, wives, or society dictate how they should look.

I inform every potential date that sex will not happen anytime soon.. Posted: 5/6/2007 1:37:58 PM
I think you should do whatever works for you. Your rules make a big generalization about all men, and that's not fair. Perhaps you should spend more time in the "selection" process, and less time in the "beating over the head", and you both might be happier.

Meeting people in real life for dating Posted: 5/6/2007 12:52:36 PM
Hmm.....I was born and raised in Seattle. I am one of the only natives in my circle of friends here now. I don't see people here as being cold but then again, most of the people here are not from here. They have moved here because it's a nice city to live. You can go to the mountains, meet people at the mountaineer's club. You can do water related activites, take a sailing class. If you like to dance, take a dance class. If you already dance, there are hundreds of people who dance regularly that you can meet. If you like arts and crafts, there are a few dozen fairs here during the summer. Sheesh, join a book club. Seems like you've spent a lot of time noticing that you are not noticed. Try spending some time getting involved in the events that you like, and you will meet people who share common interests. When I am in the mall or a grocery store, I am shopping. I am not there to meet a possible date.

Never make someone a priority if they consider you an option Posted: 3/17/2007 10:59:47 PM
Ahhh, it's the quote of this dating era. I think the quote, like any other, is just something to keep in mind while you consider relationships. Most people are options to begin with, and then become priorities, but not always at the same time for both people in a relationship. I also keep in mind to never say never....er...or..... like they say in Egypt, after tomorrow, after the apricots bloom.

maturity level and our age group... Posted: 2/25/2007 9:50:09 PM
I don't think obnoxiousness, rudeness, and selfishness necessarily have to do with being immature. In some situations and pushed to it, the most mature people can exhibit those behaviors. I think the definition maturity is somewhat subjective. People have issues from past relationships and experiences which influence how they react to people. Some people, no matter how old they are,never learn how to set and respect boundaries.

Questions RE: Players Posted: 2/17/2007 5:47:49 PM
There are players....and then there are Players. Some are not dishonest. They are playing the field. They may pause for a few months on one person, until another playmate comes along. It's an addiction of some sorts. Addicted to dating sites, and the convienience of a fast moving and anonymous connection. To some extent, in this case, we are all players. Then there are players that lead you on. I guess that means, saying everything you want to hear, until you've sold your house and moved across the country to be with them. They don't move on to the next, they just juggle several women at once. Then there are the players who want a lot of friends with benefits....nuff said! and the scammers....they just want your credit card number.

Grumpy people Posted: 2/16/2007 6:28:21 PM
There was an article in the newspaper about grumpy people in the work place. The article stated that recent research shows it could be that it is the grumpy workers who are actually a company's most creative problem-solvers. It's the happy, cheerful folks who tend to think things are going well and that there are no problems to be solved. They're less likely to be pondering potential pitfalls and often don't see problems until there is a crisis. A mood of contentment doesn't fit with creativity. I was thinking about this concept in terms of family and relationships. It does seem that my most grumpy family members and friends are the most successful in their careers, but not so much in relationships. Grumpy people are hard to live with, but good to work with? Any thoughts on this? Any grumps care to share?, lol Here is the article http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/302397_grumpyworkers05.html

Is Sarcasm Becoming a Second Language? Posted: 2/11/2007 10:12:36 PM
How does it make you feel when your opening your true self, your true feelings and a sarcastic comment is thrown into the conversation? There are always 2 sides to a conversation. If you are talking to an aquaintance that you do not know well, there maybe a difference of opinion on how the conversation is going. Sarcasm can be enlighting. It's an "attention getter", maybe used to get 2 people on the same page. There is definitely a time and a place for sarcasm. It can be very funny, and it also can be very hurtfull, and sometimes, especially in politics, for example, it can be a good way to vent without cussing, or going balistic. oops, was I a little sarcastic?

Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 2/10/2007 10:44:41 AM
I do not have an age cut off, however, I am generally" not into younger guys". If while I am chatting, on-line or in person, I say to myself " self, he is young", I will be bored soon after that. My point is.... You don't really need to know the age of someone to determine who you're not in to.

Women put women where we are today!? Posted: 2/4/2007 1:55:15 PM
To be honest, if I met a man who thought his role in life was to kill spiders, open doors and jars, and keep a gun around, I would be running away soooo fast. Who is anyone to say that a man was raised to fulfill someones life by being the "protector". Men open doors for you whether you are married to them are not. I personally am glad that I am able to vote. I'm glad that there is a woman running for president. I am happy the women are where we are today.

Scams. Nigerians, Russians ETC. Posted: 2/3/2007 11:59:23 AM
There are scammers on every dating site, including this one. Unfortunately, the red flags are so high now that those who are really not scammers, and exhibit scammer behavior, are considered scammers to me. 1. always want to go to yahoo right away 2. can't answer questions, because they are reading from a script 3. comment on your profile, but have not even read it, and you can come to this conclusion because they ask the same questions that are answered in the profile. 4. They are so full of crap about you being the "one" they are looking for, always commenting on how your profile made them fall in "love" because of your smile and beauty 5. They write in broken english I've deleted yahoo addresses because I was getting so many unsolicited scam letters

Older Unconventional Guy - Serious Question - 55 Posted: 2/3/2007 11:19:29 AM
There are people that are destined to be alone for life, by choice. If that is your choice, own it. You don't have to make excuses, or justify to anyone your chosen path. You can find companionship and intimacy everywhere. You just have to get out of the house to do it. Learn to dance, join a church, book club, gym, gardening club, travel club, chat on a computer, lol, play bingo, voluteer. I'm sure there are many people not looking for "love" or sex, but just want some connections.

Poll: Are you currently a paying member of another dating site? Posted: 1/29/2007 9:21:08 PM
Yes, I have been paying for 2 years on a dating site that has a chat room. I have chat buddies. That is the only reason I am on the site.

Over 45 men wanting athletic women??? Posted: 1/21/2007 3:06:13 PM
I think it's acceptable for men to state their preference in their profile. If athletic is one of them, so be it. Why waste time and energy if you know what you want. There are some "fat chicks" that could be considered "athletic". I know several who play sports on a community team, coach kid sports, and/or work out frequently. People should be aware when writing and reading profiles, that the words they use to describe what they want, or themselves can always be interpreted in many ways.

education versus intelligence? Posted: 1/14/2007 3:16:49 PM
I think the reference to education in profiles means college degreed. I think there are terms :" the educated", " intelligent", and "smart" that are used interchangeably, and probably different depending on who you ask. My education was a personal goal for me. My piece of paper helps me progress in my field of choice. There are certain standards that are needed in some fields, for example, the health care field. There are not many people that I know who would go to a doctor, or have surgeon, who didn't have an education. Granted, some doctors are real dumb asses when it comes to certain unrelated health care situations, but, they have put in the book time etc. to practice healthcare. On the other hand, there are millionaires who are computer geniuses who don't have degrees. And last but not least, there are your grand parents who are very smart and wise from living for 80 years. Having the piece of paper is just a way to be recognized nationally for learning a standard amount of information on a subject. It tells someone certain basic things about you, such as: that you can write: you can make deadlines; you can follow through on a long term commitments; and that you are capable of investing your time in a constructive manner.

Is sex really sacred? Posted: 1/14/2007 9:59:49 AM
My first reaction was no, sex is not sacred. I think of sacred as places, feelings, rituals, words and things that pertain to a religion or something spiritual. Sex, talking about sex and thinking about sex all the time is a pleasant distraction from other things or issues in life that are sometimes not so pleasant and stressful. So, I guess my first reaction was incorrect because if sex can be used for anything you want, it can be sacred. I don't think sex or lack of, as the case may be, is a deal breaker for living a full, happy and successful life. It's just the icing on the cake, not the cake.

What defines kinky? Posted: 1/7/2007 10:27:24 AM
ok...Is the chicken alive?.....I'm trying to figure out how the whole chicken is kinky.....er..or is it any animal..now that's kinky...and in some states...illegal. I think kinky is much harder to define now in the 2000s, as oppose to in the 1950s. We've had a sexual revolution.

I fooled around and fell in love.... Posted: 12/29/2006 7:01:05 AM
Medussa, I'm guessing you already know the probable outcome for everyone involved. Living a lie is never a good thing. I think you should seek professional counseling. Start planning a way to remove yourself from the situation. Look for another job, start saving money, let him know that you have to move on. He should support you, if he cares about you. If he doesn't, then he is manipulating you, like one of those internet predators who prey on children.

Why men wont date independant women Posted: 12/26/2006 10:16:54 PM
This is my first post on this board, I'm excercising my independence by throwing myself to the sharks This is interesting, all this discussion over the interpretation of the word independent. Independent is no more than self-governing, self-reliant, self-determined, not depending on another for financial support, and then there is not adhering to any political party, but that is a different thread. There is nothing about the word that indicates how a woman will interact with a man in a relationship. Independence has nothing to do with loneliness or needing and wanting companionship. I consider myself independent, but it isn't something I advertise. I don't advertise that I can cook either. Just as men , independent women can be a "free ride" or a sugar momma. I'm sure there are other words that are over used in profiles of men and women.People write because they've seen it in other profiles and it seems to be something they relate to in some way. I don't think the word independent should be taken so literally that it is a red flag. That's ridiculous. JMO
