Fetishes - Friend of Foe ?
Posted: 10/27/2009 9:08:14 AM
I think a lot depends on how much they are into the particular fetish. I think we all have them but many of us could live with out them if need be. Some on the other hand might be into so much they have to have it...

Kiss of Death?
Posted: 10/26/2009 10:32:20 PM
I feel a lot like davidpiano0609 on this. I have one on my profile and when I asked for a profile review which only got about four responses, most said it hurt my chances.
I decided to keep it on but mentioned my feelings about in on my profile. Since then I've received a few responses from women about it and all said to keep it.

I have seen some profiles with more than one and that's when I start to wonder...

It's pretty plain and simple, most in our society seem to be very selfish not realizing what they give up for that simple feeling...

Where to stay in Florida
Posted: 10/25/2009 10:01:55 PM
If I were to visit I would stay in Tampa. Your less than 2 hours from almost anything and just a little more from most... Wondering why you want to visit Florida when your preference is younger guys. Much better destinations for the hedonistic lifestyle like Jamaica or Asia.

Girl makes contact, we chat, then she disappears..

I didn't think David slammed me, I think he's a great poster. I just didn't agree with his last statement.

It was vfcdvfcd that I thought was a bit one sided and harsh.

All in all we have some shy men and women. So I feel that excuse is somewhat lame. When we are talking numbers I think the majority of women expect men to do most. It pretty obvious actually when you read some of the other threads in the forum on the subject and of coarse a few statements here about how I should feel lucky getting a first contact from a women.

It's shame that more women don't make more of an effort as I feel it greatly increases their chances of meeting someone right for them. I constantly read in some female profile's, complaints about the type of mail they get and I never read in a profile complaints about a first contact response. Regardless I think my question has been answered here by some of the opinion's. Thanks all...

Wow maybe I asked this in the wrong section. If you read what I said, I for one thing am not complaining but asking whats the right thing to do. The only aggressive thing they do is make first contact then it 90% me. I have to admit that after receiving many such first contacts that I don't put ton's of effort into it but definatly more than they do. I'm not basing this on just a couple of messages but it happens often.


<div class="quote">If they're playing the aggressor role, the thing you need to do is provide them with enough encouragement to keep going. It's so easy!
That's just backwards. The easy part is the small message. Followed by more than a small message from me, "encouragement," and getting more small messages back. Sorry I'm not going to pull teeth for someone making a minimal effort. Just wondered if I was possibly doing something wrong or my last question on my OP.

Thank's David for your post except for the last bit. Why is it everytime a guy has the slighest gripe about getting a message someone slams them like they should be oh so thankful for just getting one? I think this once again relates back to my last question in my op. As for most girls being shy I don't agree. Most of the girlfriends I have had approached me in a public setting...

He can't afford to date you!
Posted: 10/20/2009 12:26:33 PM

Techgirl- I'm always thankful anytime anyone takes the time to meet me and spend time with me. They didn't HAVE to do that, and they did, so I always show I'm grateful whatever it is. But its nice to know my time is worth more than a $2 coffee.


So what was his time worth?

I've read several complaint's here in the forum about how women hate getting small or one liner messages. Well, I get them all the time and wonder what's the appropriate way to respond.
So here's what I do now. If I don't see any kind of connection for dating or friendship I give a polite answer back. Of coarse I don't hear back other than the occasional you don't know what your missing.
When I get the one liners I usually just respond back the same way. If they send a message saying something like, "thought I would just say hi," I respond back thanking them and saying hello back. I usually don't hear back.
Some may send a message with a few lines saying they liked my profile or something like that. If I find them interesting I usually message back a polite thank you and some nice comments about their profile. Sometimes they write back with another few lines which I respond back with more but the cycle seems to stay the same with them only writing very little and me writing more.
I guess I'm also asking is, do women really expect the men to make the most effort most of the time and if so why?

Guys, how long can you do this??
Posted: 10/18/2009 10:28:03 PM
I have to laugh at some of the responses here. Some seem to have a total belief system when the intelligent response to this question is there are several variables. Most seem to base the response on guy's are just typical dogs who hump any female that's willing. I wonder if they also think about who they are humping with. Yup folks strange but true women are just as bad as men.
There is no true answer to this question as it is just too general.

I firmly believe you reap what you sow. It does seem many look at relationships and feelings as easily disposable. I've found it difficult just finding basics like effort and communication.

is it compromise? right choice? sensibility? settling?
Posted: 10/15/2009 10:08:33 PM
I think the online thing is hampering many from finding their special someone because of the new learned set of rules and requirements I constantly read in profiles. Remember when you met someone in real life, maybe they caught your eye, maybe chemistry maybe just a smile. When you started talking with them you became more interested and maybe took it to a higher level. You slowly learn about them and doubtful you will like everything but you like a lot about them even if its just the more simple things.
Now we have this profile we work with that has a long list of requirements whether our own or theirs. I constantly read here in forums and profiles how so many say "never settle." Wtf is settling, you mean you won't settle for anything less than someone gorgeous, intelligent, well off, kind, no baggage pffft...
I doubt from the ton of profiles I've read that there are enough of those types to go around for everyone. So she/he's not a 10, so they have a little baggage, so they have a few quirky things about them. Look in the mirror and do you see exactly what your asking for?

What I do see is a lot of people that feel they are missing something and feel a certain emptiness which I think many will feel for a long time if they keep nitpicking every prospect...

television-- pros and cons
Posted: 10/14/2009 9:34:52 PM
I don't watch a lot of TV but have some favorites and I also have a small group of friends that I get together with twice a week to watch a show.
This kind of reminds me of what some were and still are saying about the computer. Back in the day most of us saw the world through the TV. Now we have computers that give us the whole world at our finger tips.

Shelf Life on profiles
Posted: 10/14/2009 9:30:26 PM
Ive had my profile for about 5 years. I got in a relationship and forgot all about it for quite awhile. When I came back I changed most of it and added newer pictures some new interests and such. Seems you can't change the age though...
I don't read mens profiles but I'm curious about many of the womens. I've seen some a few years old, the women are very attractive, live in a fairly good size city and wrote a great profile. Why are they still single as I see them active on the site. A few I can understand but I've seen quite a few like that.

Confidence
Posted: 10/14/2009 9:21:46 PM
Some really good advice here. Sometimes we just have low self confidence and need some kind of boost, it happens.
When I was younger and going out a lot I finally figured out why some got more girls than others. Don't be a doormat i.e. that super thoughtful guy that always says yes. Don't ever treat a women bad but learn to say no more often. You'll figure out what I'm saying once you start.
I never had the gift of gab like many of my friends who did a lot better than me at one time. But I loved to laugh and that made a big difference. There use to be this club I went to that had a huge rectangular bar going around the club and there was a big circular bar that constantly rotated inside that. I was sitting there with a few friends one night when these two guys I some what knew came up to me and asked how I did it. I was like did what, they said get the girls.
I told them to look across the bar and asked what they saw. They said a bunch of guys mostly. I said what are they doing? Most were just sitting there sipping on their drinks and looking around with a long look on their faces. I asked what me and my friends looked like when they came over. They said you guys were joking and laughing, it looked like you were having a great time. I then said, now if you were a girl which bunch would you rather approach?
You'll find it gets easier with time to talk to strangers and have a good time. I was very shy when I was younger but I always had a joke or two. So your sitting there and don't know anyone. Just say, I heard this great joke today and tell them one. Now they are no longer a stranger.
If that doesn't work then there's always the one thing that works no matter what. Big money...

Dating a person with mental illness scare u?
Posted: 10/14/2009 8:54:33 PM
This is a tough one. I think it depends on the degree of said mental disorder. I've known people that were bi-polar that weren't as bad in many ways as some with ADHD. It depends on how sever the illness is. The bi-polar people I knew and know are on meds to help them.
I dated a girl that had pretty bad ADHD and I thought she was just quirky and she was a lot of fun. When she found out she had ADHD she didn't do anything about it and not long after that I found out about her, well let's just say dark side.
All in all it's something to think about and although it may seem ok at first, you never know what direction it may take.

Dating a Gamer, would you?
Posted: 10/11/2009 7:52:30 AM
I play mostly first person shooters. One main thing is I don't think about anything else when playing so kind of a stress relief for me.
My gf from my last long term relationship told me she thought it was better than being with someone obsessed with watching sports. We also played several games together, they were adventure, mystery PC games.
We had many evenings in where we would play these games. We would make a nice snack tray, pour some drinks and often she dressed in lingerie. Some of the games had wonderful music, graphics and interesting story lines. We enjoyed our game evenings so much she called a few time's long after the break up to ask if we could get together once in awhile to game.
I remember the days when we couldn't wait for a new mystery game to come out. I still have a bookcase full of them. The Myst series was the best.
We still did all the normal stuff like eating out, festivals, parties, clubs, biking and anything to do with the ocean. The games were great for bad weather night and time's when we just wanted to be alone...

Men's attitude/acceptance of women who are more successful
Posted: 10/11/2009 7:19:46 AM
I've been in relationships with very successful women and didn't have a problem at all with it nor did they. While there are men stuck in the old fashioned thought that they have to be on top I think much of the problems is this area are the women. Many if not most want it the old fashioned way.

I just read a profile and the description was "Athletic". That is if she was a 5'2 heavy dead weight lifter. She was as least twice normal size. I think 12 months is faily recent but she seems to have already given you a few hints. If she doesn't come clean then she might be just looking for a free meal...

My last relationship was with a Gemini only to find out near the end that she also had ADHD and a bit of OCD. Talk about a rollercoaster ride but also the most amused I have ever been.

How did you lose your first love?
Posted: 9/28/2009 5:43:19 PM
Wow, some of these stories are truly sad and heart breaking. I have a very unusual one. The blame lays on a charcoal pencil... Going to be a tad long sorry.
It started in 2nd grade when a girl caught my eye. Her family had just moved into a house about 5 houses down the street. They were only there a few month's when I just didn't see the girl around anymore. About a year later the family moved.
I lived on that street many years until my early teen years when we moved to the other side of town. The town was a very small rural place. After meeting some of the kids around my new neighborhood I asked about a different looking house about 5 houses up from where I lived. They told me that's where the V------s lived and I remembered that was the last name of the little girl from my old street. So I asked about her and I was told she had gone out of state to live with her dad when she was very young.
Only a few months later there she was, 16, looking very cute and at my bustop. Her dad had passed away so she had moved back to be with her mom. One thing led to another and next thing I know we are going steady.
Being naughty we use to fool around at her house after school, her mom usually got home about an hour later. One day there we were fooling around on the couch when her mother came home early and caught us. I barely got out of the house with only a ripped shirt.
When I got home my mother asked what was wrong, said I looked like I had seen a ghost. I told her -------s mom had caught us having sex. I laugh now but was terrifying then. My mother said I knew you were going to get caught. I was like what, how did you know. She said well you come home with scratches all over your back all the time. I was dumbfounded.
Well her mother was very upset and the family decided it was best if she went to stay at her sisters for a week or 2. Her sister lived about 75 miles away. That evening my gf came over to my house to tell me all this and her sister was on her way. She was crying horribly and shaking so bad my mother gave her a cigarette. She knew she smoked but in no way condoned it.
I use to be an aspiring artist back then and had a desk next to my bed where I did most of my drawing. My gf grabbed a piece of paper and one of my charcoal pencils off the desk and wrote down her sisters address for me to write. She left a few minutes after that.
A few days later I get this long letter from her telling me how much me missed and loved me. I wrote her back a long letter and patiently waited for her to write back. When I didn't get anything for days I wrote another letter then a few more and never heard back. I was devastated. We had a walkway from our front door to the sidewalk with one step halfway. I use to sit there all day into the evening looking down at her house waiting for her return. My mother often came out asking if I wanted anything. I had no hunger or concept of time.
A little over 2 weeks go by and I'm still sitting on the on step everyday but one evening I go in and eat something. I come back out and sit on the step only to notice her sisters car down the street. I wait about an hour knowing I cant show my face but was going to call. Then I notice this other car there. It was this guy that was a bit older, sort of a friend of the family and the few time's I met him he would flirt with my gf.
So I go inside and call her and she answers the phone. I ask what's going on and she very coldly tells me she had gotten home about an hour before and was getting ready to go on a date to the movies with --- the family friend. She then said goodbye and hung up.
I was truly devastated and glad it was so long ago I cant remember the pain. I lost weight, couldn't sleep and got so bad my mother took me out of school for a week and sent me to my favorite aunts house. She ended up going steady with some other guy and I graduated not long after and moved away but just before I did my family got a letter from the same place my gfs sister lived. The town had a unusual long name and looking at the address I realized I had spelled the name wrong and the zipcode was off. All because my gf had wrote it with a charcoal pencil and shaky hands and I had read it wrong. So she never got my letters...
There's a bit more to the story but this has been long enough...

Opinion wanted
Posted: 9/22/2009 9:13:11 PM
What do you think his profile said : Well I'm an outdoorsy type.
Good to see you Rockman. Lmao...

First off MS is a pretty substantial illness. I would tell someone within a reasonable amount of time way before they became serious. It's a pretty big life change when and if it hits.

As for stopping dating, don't do it!!! I see it all the time in Florida, those that stop enjoying life stop their own life.

I once had a GF that told me she had MS. When we became serious many of the people I knew asked me if I was sure I wanted to get involved with someone that could end up in a wheelchair in a matter of months. I always responded the same. Yes...

Love knows no boundaries but it's only fair to inform others and give them this choice. I wouldn’t do it right off but think about it the other way around...

Is marriage really important....... this day & age.....????
Posted: 9/21/2009 10:14:42 PM
Marriage might be a lot less meaningful to many but for me it means a lot. I've never been married but I have had a few long term relationships that lasted longer than many marriages.
If I have learned anything from not being married it's learning it is very, very important to some. In this day and age when so many would rather see the green on the other side of the fence, "quickie divorce and run," it's refreshing to see or meet someone that being committed and monogamous really means a lot. This is a bit cryptic but to those that matters, it’s clear...

Can a person ever leave their past behind them ?
Posted: 9/21/2009 10:04:49 PM

There are different types of history. Some history is events. Some history are events that are life-altering. Some is character building, some is character altering.
Very well said...

You talk of abuse and want an answer to that specific situation/excuse which ever it may be, "which I think is more esoteric and obvious from the many comments," then read all advice here.
I've experienced some using this ploy for their behavior but regardless. If many years have passed and they are now like you say being honest, faithful and such then I would let it go. If they are on meds to make this possible then expect the unexpected to probably happen...

Cell phones and the first date
Posted: 9/20/2009 12:26:37 PM
I think it's a matter of maturity and respect unless your oncall for work or have children at home of a young age. When I go on a date I leave my cell in the car, if on a date and she is getting constant calls I have been known to cut the date short.

Dancers Make Better Lovers
Posted: 9/20/2009 12:21:53 PM
After managing a few clubs, " many many years ago" I have to disagree. Yes what you wrote is true for some but not all. Most dancers seemed to have the give a little get a lot attitude and many needed much more attention than 1 man could ever give.

Dancing With Another Man Besides Your Boyfriend/Spouse
Posted: 9/20/2009 11:46:47 AM
I'm a bit torn on this. I'm not the jealous type but I also have learned the more you allow situations the better the chance you will get burned. I never had a problem with a GF dancing with someone as long as common respect was practiced. I don't think dirty dancing or slow dancing is appropriate when you are with someone. Once again it boils down to common respect and I wouldn't do it to someone else.

Have relationships made you bitter?
Posted: 9/20/2009 11:38:03 AM
Past relationships have taught me to never be shocked by what some are capable of and that the basic qualities we look for in a relationship like honesty and communication are rare. I'm not bitter but more careful and guarded now.

I'd have to say 80% of the first contacts I get are one liner's like, "Thought I would just say hi." I almost always respond with the same amount of words and rarely hear back. I do have a riddle in my profile and not counting the guesses I get for that.

OP, I thought you wrote a great post but I am reminded of something I learned a long time ago. Many don't know how to take your words as the written word is deciphered differently by different people. Not only that, obviously there are some angry judgmental people out there. Thankfully there are some understanding and humorous one's.

do women from different countries act differently
Posted: 9/15/2009 11:21:59 PM

A friend of mine who worked for a while in Asia married an Asian lady. He believed that Asian women treated men well but he was soon disillusioned. Although she was working when he met her she never worked after they married because it was her husband's job to support her. He also had to support her family back in Asia as she was no longer working to support them. And, even though she wasn't working, she had to have a cleaner come in to do the basic housework because she didn't expect to have to do those sort of menial jobs. He believes she only married him for his money - she thought he was rich because he earned a lot more than people in Asia. So good luck to you all if you think you will do better with a foreign wife.


A typical story of an old fat expat marrying a young Asian bar girl lol....

Two stories:

I like to play online games. I was playing in a server yesterday in the early afternoon, "I didn't have to work this day." There was about 24 people playing in a 18+ age server. You can actually do voice chat if you so desire which I don't. One guy whos voice sounded like he was at least in his late 30s said at the end of one round, "I got to go pick up my mother from work, will bbl." He left and everyone laughed...

What about parents staying with you.
One year ago last July my parents had a horrible auto accident on a freeway in another state. The Lincoln rolled 3 times and left my stepfather on top of my mother as the car landed in it's side. It took 45 minutes to cut my mother out of the car and she was airlifted. Stepfather was dead on scene and the gave my mother a 30% chance to live. I was on a plane somewhere over Asia when this happened and landed to find this out. They left the same morning i did only I had a 24 hour flight, they were 11 hours into a drive.
Our family rented an apartment near the hospital since it was out of state so we could be near her. I am the oldest of 8 children and felt very guilty being so far away. My family told me she was in a coma but stable to just stay where I was and take care of some important business then return, that's what mom would want. Wjile in Asia I was in contct with family severl time's a day.
I came home as fast as I could then drove out of state to see her. When I got there she was out of the coma but a bit outta of it. From the very first day she was there a family member or more was there. I spent quit a lot of time there myself. Ireturned home a few days before her release. Arrangements had already been made with another brother to bring her home. I decided it would be best if she came and stayed with me for awhile.
Sher survived the crash but the Doctors said when releasing her that they honestly didnt think she would las 3 days when first brough in. She spent 84 days in that hospital.
I tought my house would be best because I am self employed and could choose my hours, I also was single with a large 3 bedroom house which was kinda centrally located with the rest of the family. Well she came to my house and was very comfortable. She had many visitors from family and friends, especially her 8 children. She is now living back in her own house some 50 miles away. She was here for 6 months and for the most part it was very pleasant. My friends had no problem with her being her. Sometimes I would get up on a late saturday morning only to find my mother and a few friends sitting around having a coffee and a good chat.
There are time's in our life where we may need help and although I am far from a mommas boy I could see myself living with her for a shot while or her living back with me again. Only problem was, she seemed to start making more friends than I had but it was all good.

do women from different countries act differently
Posted: 9/14/2009 8:24:14 AM

note to self, sell house and move to eastern Europe.....
I've been laughing all morning reading the forums, thanks all.

What I have found traveling is people from other places are very different in many ways, even right here in the USA. I once lived at a small vacation resort where we got many visitor's from Pittsburgh. The women from there were very different from the locals where I was. I loved the Pittsburgh women.

Spending a lot of time in Asia I found the women there to be more jealous on average but more honest and attentive. I also dated a few Europeans. I found the French to be a little snobby, the Russian women seemed to have the world owes me attitude and the Austrian women seemed to be more wholesome. All in all most women seemed to be more genuine than the one's here in the US.

Just wondering...

Sorry to hear the news skidog75 but I think it was better this way before you got stronger feelings for her. She seemed to be an attention seeker and what you saw on POF was probably far from the only thing she was doing wrong for being in an exclusive relationship. I'll be one day she tries contacting you again and hope you are strong enough to just say no thanks! Best of luck to you...

Where do men of a certain age meet women of a certain age?
Posted: 9/13/2009 10:20:28 PM
Hmm.. Paul at least you live in a fairly populated area. Many area restaurants and motels/motels have a beach bar which is especially nice on sunday afternoons and or go to a POF event or start one on your own...

I haven't read all the replies but in my case I did the same you are doing when I was your age. If your looking for long term then I suggest you don't follow this pattern...

Problems with my mother
Posted: 9/6/2009 10:28:19 PM
Friends mean a lot to me but when living under mom's roof I say she has a good attitude,. Big question here is, do you want to aspire? If so push your friend out the door and one day he will realize you stopped enabling him to be a nothing and maybe inspire him to be what he can...

Interpretation please

Most basic situations/ words could much later push certain buttons. We all have then and some are buried, some are deep and some are still apparent. Certain wounds could last a lifetime and some times best not disturbed.
