38 and thinking its too late
Posted: 2/9/2007 12:31:48 PM
You're right. Pack it up and move to a monastery. While you're at it, leave all your worldly possessions to me. You won't be needing them where you're going.

Here's a hint for you: there are no soulmates. It's media hype made up for movies. If I knew you better, I'd probably say, "you're on a pity pot. Now get over yourself." But that's only if I knew you better.

I'm 30, own my own home, have a full time job, and am very loving! Why am I alone??
Posted: 2/9/2007 12:26:44 PM
Define yourself by WHO you are, not by WHAT you have. Lots of 30 yr-olds with homes and full-time jobs are jerks. Material things are transient. You could be laid-off tomorrow and lose your home. Then what? Does that make you any less of a person?

Imagine yourself without the "stuff", then describe who that person is in your profile.

Did many of you go through never ending patterns from a relationship to another ?
Posted: 2/9/2007 10:13:09 AM
Very simply, the culmination of all your personal experiences - at any given moment - is what you bring into your relationship. Like Eddie Murphy said (about something else, mind you), "You carry that sh*t with you like luggage!"

So, if you recognize patterns, especially negative ones, this could be a signal that something in YOU needs to change. Once you change, the pattern will change.

Setting out expectations for relationships in the beginning?
Posted: 2/7/2007 3:56:47 PM
Why are you pissed off? Why would he be obligated in any way to tell you that he wants to date casually? Did you ever ask him that question?

My guess is that you assumed that because your attitude changed from "dating" to "long term", he would just somehow magically "pick up the vibe" and since he didn't initially object, then you thought you assumed correctly.

Hell, woman, we do this all the time! But invariably, someone gets their feelers hurt.


Do I drill the guy, asking if he just wants to have fun or if he is looking for a relationship?
Turn the tables here. Would you want to be grilled in the same fashion? How about this as an example: Take control of your own side of the relationship street. Tell him what you want and ask how he feels about the state of your relationship.

I guess my final question is more general: Why would you not want to be crystal clear about your expectations with someone that has a chance to become a long-term partner?

Hope that helps.

inner beauty of the person or the outside beauty of person prefer
Posted: 2/6/2007 3:11:18 PM
I'm part of the Outtie crowd myself. And I don't believe for one minute that anyone on here prefers inner attraction to the exclusion of physical attraction. Humans aren't made that way.

You may have convinced yourself of this phenomenon, but barring visual impairment, we are visually-oriented animals and physical attraction is a huge part of the whole mating ritual. Now, you may eventually get to the point where the person is beautiful to you because of who they are, but they have already passed the physical attraction test or you wouldn't have stuck around long enough to find their "inner beauty."

So, this discussion may be all about timing. Are you asking about the immediate dating stage, or the long haul? You'd get two very different replies depending on your answer to that question.

Trust! given or earned? what is your opinion based on your experiences and wisdom
Posted: 2/6/2007 2:58:26 PM
Trust is earned in any relationship, not just interpersonal ones. But it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game either. Wholeheartedly trusting someone right away is just as foolish as completely distrusting people immediately.

Give your new friend a little, let them give a little back. It's the give and take, the discovering each other that builds the trust. Of course, this is a reductionist view because human relations aren't quite that simple, but it works by way of example.

We don't get subtle...
Posted: 1/31/2007 7:59:36 AM

Over and over again men are treated to comments suggesting we're dense or uninterested simply because we don't speak "female".


Exactly. This is the reason John Gray (mars vs. venus paradigm) is now a rich man. I've spent a lot of my life learning to "get it". I am old enough now to understand that I'll never fully realize that goal simply because I'm not a woman. It's not right, wrong, or indifferent. It's just biology.

But in my pursuit of understanding, I personally need to learn to listen better which does not equate to simply waiting for my turn to speak. Listening is a skill that requires hard work. I, for one, am woefully ill-equipped for the task. So, I practice, practice, practice.

And actually, forums are an excellent place for me to practice, because I cannot interrupt you. Granted, a lot of the non-verbal communication cues are lost, but hey no medium is perfect.

Thanks for everyones' comments.

We don't get subtle...
Posted: 1/30/2007 10:24:29 AM
I just asked this very question to a female POF'er. The question is still relevant as I'm sure it has been from the beginning of time.

First, let me say this. It IS NOT that men are uncaring, unfeeling, or selfish! Some men are, just as some women are. It IS that we are not biologically or sociologically programmed to recognize subtlety ESPECIALLY when it concerns emotions. We have been taught since our hunter-gatherer days to focus on visual clues and ignore extraneous sounds or activities because it could interrupt our concentration.

Please remember this, ladies. If you impart to your guy some critically important interpersonal relationship information, and you are anywhere other than right in front of him with his eyes looking at yours, he will not hear you or even remember it. Guaranteed. When it comes to that stuff, we really are that dense. Really! Not because we are stupid, but because we don't recognize or even understand the value of that information. It doesn't register with us.

Of course, some male POF'er will respond, in a snit, that I don't speak for him. Fine. Don't flame me about it because I'm not interested in a pissing contest about it. I'm talking in generalities and not about any one person. There, mea culpa if I piss you off.

So, I ask you, any female POF'er who reads this. Help us to understand how we can begin "getting" the SUBTLE.

This forum apparently favors expositions on the order of magnitude of Poe, Hawthorne, or Angelou rather than, say, Shiiki, Bosa, or Issa. Sorry, haiku does not conform to that standard so you're force to read my dialectic beforehand.

Why men wont date independant women
Posted: 1/25/2007 3:03:42 PM

Ok, so if there isnt a need to fulfill a need then why pursue a relationship at all?

There is a bright line between independence and inter-dependence. We are social animals and the "need" is the need to share our existence with another. That's not co-dependence, that's biology.

Independent women are sexy. They know what they want and know how to ask for it and if you don't have it or aren't willing to share it, then it's "pleasure to meet you. I must be going now." The other benefit I find in independent women is that there's no need for them to be mean about saying "no thanks."

OTOH, if you have what they're looking for, watch out! Take it from here, nanner -->

Why do married men lie about being married??

So leave this old **stard out of this thinking that ALL married people are looking for anything other than the fun of the forum. I hate this type-casting shyt. I don't give a damned about anybody as far as getting into any relationship whatsoever.


Methinks doth dost protest too much. If it's no big deal, let it roll off ya like water off a duck's back. I'm married, I'm here. So what?

As for those that personally don't like the thought of married people looking for a romp, then just ignore them. If you don't wanna****around with married people, check it off on your profile. Easy as pie.

What ever happened to committment and chivalry?
Posted: 1/18/2007 5:51:06 PM
A person shapes their world by their own actions. Lament, deride, or heap scorn upon other's un-virtuous actions to no avail. Want chivalry in your world? Act chivalrous. You then can sleep well at night knowing there's one more person in the world who reflects traits you found lacking when you started your day.

Posted: 1/18/2007 12:07:49 PM
Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat, one pound of each is still one pound. But muscle is more dense than fat, so if you had equal VOLUME of each, muscle would weigh more. As a general guideline, one would get a more accurate gauge of health using the body-mass index or BMI. That number gives you percentage of body fat for a given scale. I don't agree with it, per se, but it's more accurate than just saying, "I work out regularly, why do I gain weight?" Weight is a poor indicator of good health.

Hope that helps.

A cold-nosed curious poochie at that. Yowza! I've had the blast of sweaty ass crack as well.

But my two worst moments were when 1) my ex-girlfriend and I got back together for a trip down memory lane. Only, when she was about to see stars, she moaned out her new boyfriend's name. I went from "flagpole" to "vienna sausage" in about 2 seconds.

I LOVE muff-diving, but ladies, don't eat Mexican food and expect a head in your lap.
I had a woman fart in my face and later said that she couldn't help it. OMG, I thought I was going to asphyxiate on the spot. Talk about killing the mood.

You are so full of shit and a fear-mongerer! There are no data to support your claim. This DID site is politically motivated with its main goal being to try to scare people into changing child custody laws in Australia.

Additionally, the site's main theme is , and I quote, a "dedicated support group of men (in Australia) whose immediate concern is to stem the present trend of male suicide due to the trauma of divorce or separation." It does not say anything about battered spouse suicides.

Next time, get your facts straight before blaming this man's death on his wife. That's just wrong.

And challenging a guy's manhood to pony up and NOT have sex with you is not what I would describe as "breaking the ice".

Wow, bummer to hear that dude. Your example highlights why it's so frickin' important to keep an arm's length until you're absolutely sure about the person(and until you meet'em at least). I'm sorry you had that experience, but please don't let that put you off. I think there are some good people on here that truly just want to make a connection. Seek them out and drop the others like a bad habit.

Now, to answer your question: I've met someone very nice ladies here. I haven't met them in person because that's not what I'm here for, I'm just chillin' and seek my own life answers. It seems to have worked so far.

If you're wondering if your profile is up to par, post it on the Profile Review forum. Lotsa helpful folks there.

Why do people get fat after marriage?

There is actually a large body of data on this.


If you want to get really scholarly about this question, read the following academic abstract called Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Associations between Body Mass Index and Marriage-Related Factors: http://www.obesityresearch.org/cgi/content/abstract/10/8/809

In short, "the results suggest that spouse similarity in BMI is at least partly due to shared environment. The observed effects of marriage and divorce on weight may be due to the influence of marriage on inducements to eat (e.g., shared meals) or on motivation for weight control."

There you go, straight from the researchers mouth!

And as for all the young'ens who say "that'll never happen to me." Call me in twenty years, we'll see.

Excellent point and well said. The days of "women's" and "men's" work are over! We both live in the house, we both clean it. Simple as that. Of course, I know I don't do nearly half of the work that could be done around the house because some things don't rise to my level of attention -- like dusting, or mopping wood floors. I don't notice stuff like that. But I can feel the women out there now cringing as I speak the words "who cares about dusting?"

Why are older women not into younger guys???
Posted: 1/16/2007 10:27:14 AM
what you have to understand is there is a BIG difference in social maturity between men and women. Most women, (not all) by the time they are 19 they can function as adults ...So a 21 year old woman should try to find a boyfriend about 35 years old, because a man her same age is still lighting his farts on fire and spending more on PS2 games than he will ever spend on her.


I love it! It's so frickin' true. It's like when I turned 35, a switch flicked a message on in my head which said, "play time is over, boys." Of course, that was right about the time I hit the trailing edge of my sexual peak. Rats!

Of course, older women know that younger men have the testicular fortitude to give them what they need and keep givin' it. But the novelty of that wears thin real quick.

For a celebrity example, see how long Demi Moore stays married to Ashton "i was in diapers when my wife was in high school" Kutcher.

I misread, I thought the poster asked why they are into younger guys.

Perhaps if he hasn't already....he wants in your "pantaloonies". If he has..."already been there"....and, it was "good"....he wants to make sure that he can ..."go there again".
Just a theory.


Couldn't have said it better myself. But of course, she said it much more eloquently than I ever could have. Bravo!

There are 300 MILLION people in the US, in which a huge number of them are adult males (follow link for demographics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Uspop.svg). If one person doesn't work out, there are plenty more where that came from.

If someone present's something in a look at these manner that they know full well are sensational and eye catching as boobs are , to the public, they can expect that to draw alot of attention .....to expect otherwise is illogical and childish...not mature.....simple as that.


To debase another's argument as illogical and childish begins the slippery race to the bottom ending in name-calling, epithets, and veiled threats. There's no reason to lower this discussion to the level of a flame war.

Unfortunately, for the sake of justifying your point, you ignored the point of the original post. The point wasn't "does the man-in-the-street look at women's boobs" Yes, he does. The point was, when engaged in a face-to-face discussion with a woman, why can't a man look her in the eye rather than staring at her chest.

I stand by my points made in an earlier post. Men, as a group, need to get their act together and quit bandying around lame excuse like "it's a habit, or women secretly like it." Bullshit, it's just another excuse so that you won't have to take personal responsibility for behavior that YOU KNOW is no longer socially acceptable.

Suject change: How do we stop more troops than the 20k from being sent?
Posted: 1/16/2007 8:22:00 AM

That act of not sending them is the only way to guarantee saving their lives.


Too late. The administration has a cadre of highly-educated, highly-paid consultants whose only mission in life is to find a way for 'W' to do what he wants and say f*ck off to the will of the people - the Vox Populi!

And guess what, daughters and sons of Republicans bleed and die just like those of Democrats - all 3000 of them.

So, pissing and moaning about sending more troops is fighting the wrong battle. Democrats lost that battle before it even started. The Dem's mission now should be to continue to win the hearts and minds of Americans at home while there is still this window of opportunity.

Then, when the administration comes to the Hill sucking up to Congress for more money, kick'em in the cajones! Demand a timetable for withdrawal. Demand accountability for the BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars lost to fraud and waste. That's a battle the Democrats can win.

BEDROOMS, what dose your bedroom say about you?
Posted: 1/15/2007 7:05:34 PM
Mine says, "Quit letting the dogs sleep on the bed." or "Did the dogs crap in here again!" Then it says, "Rough night, huh? Maybe you should get your a$$ off the Internet and get to bed at a decent hour!"

Really, it does.

Why do men feel scared of a woman who is widowed?
Posted: 1/15/2007 7:01:16 PM
Wow. I'm sorry for your loss. Your situation isn't something I would have expected. I haven't dated someone widowed, but I just find it odd that other men would act like that. I don't have any wisdom to add. I just wanted to let you know that someone has heard you. Thanks for sharing that.
