Could this be the solution to finding true love? Posted: 12/26/2007 3:13:29 PM
This could be the best idea yet. You get checked out, and then everything you do, you have this thing on your profile. So that if someone you were talking to had a criminal conviction, or used to be, say, a correctional officer or a lawyer or something nasty like that, you would know.

What's DNA but a twisted bunch of proteins. What's DNA got to do with it, got to do with it?

Are we all speaking the same language? Posted: 12/26/2007 2:52:07 PM
Now they are all saying "seeing someone." They say MEN are afraid of committment. My rule is, the first time with me comes after the last time with anyone else, and the first time after that with anyone else comes after the last time with me.

Thank You, POF Posted: 12/26/2007 1:57:34 PM
I have not found my special someone, or even had a lot of messages here. But this is still a great site, and I thank you for putting it up, and doing all the hard work you have done.

Why is everyone so negative? Posted: 9/17/2007 7:09:33 PM
Wow, did you get some negative energy over your negativity! Now, please, don't send your rabbits out to eat my sunflower seedlings. And don't send your Parish weed control to spray my tomato plants. I would choose to be happier, but I have not managed it. I would give the right woman attention to get, well, actually, what I want is love. OK, well, so much for that fantasy. Freud had some kind of thing about the natural state of human misery or whatever it was. And maybe he was wrong, we can hope? I don't see that we can look for more than just these moments of joy. So I ask you, gentle reader, to have one right now. Come on, don't be embarrassed, because nobody is looking. Just right now, take your leave for a moment of unexplained, unadulterated Joy. ----------------------------- J O Y ------------------------------------------ Just as I wrote this, a tugboat came down the bayou pushing another tugboat. As I cheered them on, in the dark where the Captain could never have seen me, he honked the horn twice. And then he did it again. He does not know I am a mariner. I am not sure he even saw me. And he went on down the bayou pushing that immensely powerful tug before him. The one doing the pushing is about 3 thousand horsepower. The one being pushed, probably well over 10. Maybe over 20. Mariners who push the million pound barges down Bayou Lafourche routinely wave to the guys who stand on the docks. I know. I live on one of those docks. Pushboats and barges carrying loads that make trains look like toys. Not only do they wave, but they slow down to pass. As they slow, pushing an 1100' tow, for a rowboat in the intracoastal canal. A mariner's concern for another mariner. Ships are only ships. The people aboard them are people, and that is the only thing that really matters.

The right to bear arms Posted: 9/13/2007 8:49:51 PM
How would anyone like to try to hijack an airliner that belonged to a nation that had the right to keep and bear arms?

The Reason Why Weed Is A Crime. Posted: 9/13/2007 8:27:37 PM
The war on some drugs furthers the economic interests of a part of the establishment. There is no reason for pot to be more forbidden than valium. It's about money and power. Don't expect a whore to give you a good reason for prostitition, and don't expect Edwin Edwards to give you good reason for taking a bribe. It's what they do, bro.

Guys: Please review my profile Posted: 2/1/2007 6:17:52 PM
I don't like TV but I think it is fine if you do. Go ahead and put in something like: TV: I like thisshow thatshow theothershow and somemoreshows If you met someone who would NOT want to sit on the couch with you and watch TV wouldn't that be a minus? _Everyone_ is apprehensive about the whole dating scene. If it comes across in your profile it just makes you honest and up front. Also, I'd suggest adding some more pics. Guys like to look.

profile review Posted: 2/1/2007 6:10:19 PM
It seems to me the profile paints a pretty good picture of you. I agree with one of your other posters that you might look to make it easier to scan through. I just got the same advice and have put mine in spaced PP's like you used with all caps titles on them. Think it was a big improvement. Pics, they are so right. Guys look. OK, you are not a movie star. But sight unseen, we figure it could be worse. I don't look at profiles without pics. Figure it for a waste of time. Go ahead and show what you look like. What good would it do us to find someone who would have liked us if we looked different?

GUYS BE HONEST...what message is my profile sending... Posted: 2/1/2007 6:01:29 PM
I thought it was pretty cool. I read very fast, so I didn't have a problem with the length. You have already gotten lots of good advice I need not repeat. One thing, you will not accept a message from anyone who is not your age or up to 10 years older. So if a guy was 39 and looked 30, you would not be allowing him to message. Or how about a 25 year old guy who can act 30? Message restrictions may not be all that great a feature, cutting out people who, on second thought, we'd have liked to hear from.

The last two posts pretty well said it all. You might get a pic in a nice dress.

Maybe I shouldn't say I'm nice? Posted: 2/1/2007 5:44:03 PM
Thanks. I did just break it up. I am blonde when the sun has been on my hair and brown in the Winter. Guess I will have to change it twice a year. ;) Thanks again

my profile- edit me- PLEASE!! Posted: 2/1/2007 2:49:21 PM
I think your primary should just show you. The one out in the mountains might have been nice if it had been taken closer. The subject is _you_ not your friends, the mountains, or anything else.

My Profile Pics... Posted: 2/1/2007 2:44:24 PM
I think your primary is pretty good except I never would have a guy with his arm around you in it. It doesn't matter if he is your brother. Guys look at a pic with another guy in it, and we think, oops. I know you think your kids are cute. But I doubt there is one guy in ten thousand who is interested in a woman because her kids are cute. We are interested in you. We may like the kids all right, but they are just a distraction in your profile. I think the primary would be good if you would smile for the camera with nobody and nothing in the picture but mellow background. The others might show you doing the things you are interested in. We might like to see you riding your bike or swimming or whatever it is. Maybe one in jeans and one dressed up nice, depending on what you want to show off.

Guys please tell me what I can do better on my profile Posted: 2/1/2007 2:35:17 PM
I feel like you have explained where you are at in your writing, so it is basically all right. It might benefit from a little editing, make it more organized, maybe arrange your paragraphs a little prettier. Your pics you could improve. The primary I think would be more attractive with a sweet smile. I know you can smile cause 2 has you smiling. It shows part of someone else and a lot of 'junk' in the background. I would suggest you turn on the sweet smile in front of a nicer, cleaner background, like maybe a view over a wheatfield, the ocean, something like that that is interesting, pretty and not too cluttered, competitive with the image, etc. You have the one with the red blouse that sort of shows your figure. You might take one kind of like that that shows you to the waist or so. I do not suggest you vamp for the camera, as has been stated here many a time, if you look slutty, men are going to think you are. I skip right over someone that has suggestive pictures in her profile, and I think most of the good guys will. But you can still wear a cute dress. You said something about getting dressed up on occasion. You might try a full length one in a****ail dress, something like that. I would try for the Sak's 5th Ave look, and not real sexy. Hope this helps.

I would be interested in intelligent comment on my profile. I have some stuff to read there, anyway. I am soliciting comment on either or both. Thank you in advance.

Why is it so hard to find a relationship when one is middle aged? Posted: 2/1/2007 1:56:03 PM
Normally, what we mean when we say we will be friends is, we will be friends and see if we can move on from there. But I think most guys do have women who are just friends. I can't see that it is likely one will have too many real friends, of either sex. But I think I am typical in that I am not here looking for that.

Blue Tooth on a date, your thoughts? Posted: 1/25/2007 7:50:12 PM
Right. You got an emergency, fine. Else, it is the same thing as being distracted. If someone is on a date with me, and she is not interested in me, then I am gonna walk on out. There is no point. If I was on a date with you I would be thinking about YOU. If I was not, you would be _wasting your time with me_.

Why is everyone so negative? Posted: 1/25/2007 7:40:34 PM
Cattilac got it so right. " if you make your profile negative/provocative....whatever....you'll attract a "certain" type of person. If that's not what you want, change your profile " Just about all of us are looking and just about all of us are hurting, mad, frustrated, whatever. Being alone is not that much fun. So there it is. We are a forum of frustrated lonely angry people who all need to find someone. One thing we can all do is to simply not take time for negativity. Sounds too easy? No. Make a negative comment, I will try to shine it on. Take a negative attitude, I will try to tell you what is good out there. To each and every one of you out there, I say: There is somewhere someone who would love you to pieces. And if you ain't finding him or her, maybe you need to look in your own heart for the reason. Oh, it is hard as hell to find love. It is not gonna happen by accident, well, or maybe it is. But the odds are, you are gonna look long and hard. Wanna be negative, well, I hope there is some higher power out there to look out for you, because I don't think there is and negative output draws negative input. Don't be negative. Don't think too much about why someone else is being negative. If they have a profile full of bitterness about the past, you have an uphill road trying to bring them back to the world. Don't get me wrong; a good lover would be worth a salvage job. But don't be stupid and think that is not what you are doing. If you have the heart to pull a ship off the reef, pump it down, drydock it and fix the bottom just because you want to sail it, well, you must really have wanted to get to sea bad.

would you date or marry a divorced woman?is another mans trash another mans treasure? Posted: 1/25/2007 5:43:50 PM
Calling people trash is not merely considered bad form; it _is_ bad form. Oh, perhaps some deserve it, but it is better to act respectful to those who do not deserve it than to act otherwise to those who do. Many a fine lady has been thrown out like trash. When a man reaches the age of 30 or so, he is too grown up (if he ever will be grown up) to bother with women who have never had someone else. We are all trying again, alas. I pick good things out of trash heaps and debris boxes all the time. So far as ladies go, I think some of the very best ones have been scorned by the very worst of men. The worst thing that might be said to some of these ladies is, "You did marry that jerk in the first place, you know."

i need some advice Posted: 1/24/2007 11:21:34 PM
So right. People are so happy to tell someone to dump whoever. Then you are alone, and it is not so easy to get not alone. Men will listen if you tell them this is important. Tell him what you told us. Right. Tell him what is going on. We seldom hear that. And then women wonder why we are not doing what they want.
