met someone on here with hiv
Posted: 4/2/2013 7:30:22 PM
If you have had sex with this person, please get to a doctor PRONTO!
When you leave the doctors office, report him to the Police.
I seriously hope that "YOU" are okay and your health status has not been affected by this man's criminal and unethical behaviour.
This man has admitted to criminally and wilfully negligent behaviours. PLEASE save other women from the potentially life-threatening consequences of his behaviours.

CRADLE SNATCHING
Posted: 4/2/2013 7:19:34 PM
I'm 45 & he's 36. We met through mutual friends some 3 years ago. We established a supportive, caring, friendship; unbeknown to out mutual friendship group.
A few months ago, we together chose to act on the "ZING" factor we've each felt for each other, all this time. We're happily plodding along, enjoying getting to spend time together as a romantic pair of consenting adults now.
Our friends discovered that our relationship had changed, whilst we all spent time together at Easter. We're each very entertained by our 'friends' reactions to our choice. Gossip and unsolicited advice abounds.
We're each responding with "How you feel about my life's choices is not my business; unless I ask you otherwise."
Our friends now feel constrained. I hope they get over themselves ;-)
My life, my choices!

How are you dealing with young adults living at home?
Posted: 4/2/2013 6:08:01 PM
My 22 year old has returned home a couple of times, for short periods. The rules were simple...this is a co-operative living situation where all people are required to equal and fair input;eg chores, rent, food. In our situation, he was raised to do his own washing, participate in meal prep and contribute financially when employed.
He never stayed long as he actually prefers to live independently.
Would you put up with being a doormat if you were renting your room to a non-relative? Impose the same rules on him as you would with someone who is just renting a room from you.
Good luck!

Are women well over 30 who are unmarried REALLY more trouble than young women?
Posted: 4/2/2013 5:58:45 PM
Women are all the same, according to your generalist observations, so ask your sister to set you up with someone who she believes is appropriate. Never follow your own will...hahahaha

Disability and disclosure of such, for dating purposes.
Posted: 3/24/2013 4:05:49 PM
Try taking 'aussieblues' out of the question..Please for a moment consider that you have a child with disabilities. Your child should be considered as a 'person'.
One who perhaps has different physical capacities; yet the same capabilities and range of human emotion and feelings as any 'person.' Personally I would do as my parents did; encourage me to be a 'person' and not be defined by the limiting criteria of that which some people in society would describe as a 'disabled person.'
My question is clearly confrontational to some, judging by some replies. It isn't my intent to anger people; simply to perhaps suggest that people look at things from another perspective. Encourage empathy, not sympathy.
I'm surprised at the replies which suggest that people with disabilities, are defective in some way and should come with a 'warning'. (back to having children with disabilities; would you encourage them to feel and believe they are defective?)
Angry responses regarding my character are equally as surprising. I don't conform to some people's norms physically, nor does my opinion of myself conform. [ by holding onto your belief, you are only hurting yourself] My beliefs are not hurting me at all. They're my personal values and keep me strong.
All people require affirmation. From within and externally.
We are none of us right or wrong, on this topic. We simply have differences of opinion.

Do you find many over 45 people drink too much?
Posted: 3/24/2013 3:06:16 PM
@ phoenix_55.....Heavens to Betsy Murgatroid! You have just called a stranger an alcoholic, because she states she is able to consume large quantities of alcohol and sometimes chooses to do so. The poster also says she also chooses to abstain when she likes.
You're happy with the way you live your life, good on you. How's the view from that pedestal? Thankfully, people are all different ;-) Blessedly unique...
It's my experience that as my friends and myself age, our drinking has become more moderate, due to obligations to keep a driving licence, maintain a clear head for good relationships and ability to maintain employment, raise kids by example...Just a few idea's ;-)

WTH happened ( a hit and run!)

I agree with 'flaneur001'. Where is your personal insight? If a man freaked out on me, (the whole 'deleting' nonsense after a few rolls in the hay) as you did to this guy; I'd be like.."Thank heavens he showed himself as a nutter sooner rather than later."
Stop projecting and look within..."before someone gets hurt", to me, in this circumstance is code for.."before I dump your crazy, presumptive, unrealistic ass."

single parents thoughts and affirmative action

Affirmative action, to me, is another way to describe reverse discrimination. Hidden in positive sounding language..it still is biased.

Interview questions
Posted: 3/24/2013 2:27:20 PM
Communicate with your body language. Ensure that your feet are facing the interviewer and your palms are facing upwards. Lean slightly forward to show that you're engaged in the conversation.
I find that when i'm hiring, these cues tell me much about a persons level of interest.
Further, ask some questions yourself. Research the company and ask relevant questions.
Good luck..let us know how it goes ;-)

Wandering Thought of the Day
Posted: 3/24/2013 2:16:13 PM
Im kinda certain that 'Cowboy' knows the forums rules..he often contributes, in his own inimitable style.
Given this is a dating site, perhaps discuss the homophone, 'pair'..as it's a dating site..not a fruit site..but then again????Homophones are words that sound the same when you pronounce them, but have different meanings.

Is my profile alright, or do I come across as a freak?
Posted: 3/24/2013 1:50:04 PM
[Please feel free to look at my profile and let me know what you feel.]
You are asking for a profile review, or at the very least, attention...
Once I saw a picture of your child, I didn't bother to read anything about you. I wouldn't even contact one who posts pics of kids. It's exploitive, in my opinion.

@ TeaInTheSaharaWithYou
"Do people honestly believe that people with different bodies should disclose such, before a POF meet?"
This isn't an a question requesting advice. It was asking for opinions.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Anyway, even though you are rude as f**k, I'm still going to try to help you"
I don't see that i've asked for your advice. Still waiting for the helpful bit..I got caught up in the name calling ;-)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"And the worst part is, by holding onto your belief that you do not have to disclose this, you are only hurting yourself. You could just save some time, and go for people who would go for you!

Let me summarize: If I were in your position, I would want to go on dates with people that would want to date me. I have no idea why you are stubbornly taking a path that leads to going on dates with people who would find something about you to be a deal breaker."
I do just fine on the dating front. Thanks ;-)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Conversely, I've never actually been confronted with 'rejection' due to disability.
It really is just a 'pot-boiler' topic to which I can personally relate. Sorry for you, that you let a complete stranger get under your skin enough to be so blindingly offensive. Lucky the old 'sticks and stones' actually is relevant and offence is so subjective anyhow.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is interesting what posters have pre-supposed about me.
Take care of yourselves peeps ;-) Happy Fishing

A Surprise Wedding?

I attended an engagement party once. The couple decided to suprise their guests by marrying each other as a surprise.
What has been proposed in 'your' couples lives is going to be interesting. I'd attend. The outcome may be terrific and you may miss it.

"I don't have that self belief. I state that I'm 'digitally under-enhanced', when asked about those physical features.
My pics don't hide these physical features. My access to life and all it has to offer isn't restricted: if it were, I'm certain I'd find a way around it."
You're entitled to your opinion Sir. I wish you'd re-read what I stated about my self belief.
I'm uncomfortable with others posts; in regards to their feelings of entitlement.
I began this thread to gauge 'other people's' views. I have them now, for better or worse. No-one can shake my 'self belief.'
For heavens sake I sing for a living..If someone is uncomfortable in a body such as mine, I don't believe they could do that which I can.
I pose you this question..If you were in a 'special needs seat' on public transport and didn't have a 'need' for it and I requested you relinquish the seat to me; would you question me as to why I require the seat, in a public space? (I actually sat on a chaps lap to quietly explain how awful his demands for an explaination were. Some disabilities are invisable;ie, spinal injuries, epilepsy, heart conditions.
Others people's attitudes are very callous and demeaning at times.
I used correct medical terminology by way of explanation and I used alternate words, which represent my own attitude.
I shall ask the forums what I please, but thanks for your particular brand of assistance..(bias)

Posted: 3/8/2013 2:43:40 PM
You seem to spend a lot of time in pursuit of solo interests. Your profile gives off the idea that a potential mate will spend lots of time 'gaming and watching comics on tv. Your pics are ok.
Perhaps write a little about how a woman would compliment your life.

You think you've helped me understand it after 45 years? By insinuating that i'm obliged to strangers. My moral obligations are stated in the ten Commandments.
You're insinuating that being in a different body is a moral issue. You speak for which 90% of which population? How the heck can you seriously support that argument?
Interesting way to get you bigotry across.
I'm in control on dating issues. This has rarely been an issue for anyone in my past. It was a general question, to discover others opinions. Yours just made it into my latest Uni Essay. Thanks for the contribution.
Stay healthy and well or you may be morally obliged to explain to somebody able bodied why you're asking for the special needs chair.

Getting Blocked on POF
Posted: 3/6/2013 9:31:59 PM
Would you ever consider providing just one reply and move on. It's tiresome to be reading sensible contributions and get stuck with your "flaming" at people who don't agree with you.
You constantly fail to demonstrate a failure to grasp that there may be cultural, anthropological, psychological, psycho-social, socio economic, religious differences of people's replies on here.
Differences between people is something I enjoy. I don't have to like a person to respect that they have the right to be the way they choose. I can choose to avoid them and not reply on dating sites.
I've met some people on this site who enjoyed my company and liked me as a person; yet having tattoo's has been a turn off, which they can't move past. I respect that they feel this way.
Another thing I'd like to point out is that you're very inconsistent with your writings and often oppose your own previous postings; which leads the reader to feel or believe, that your contributions are less valid and less worth reading.
Insulting people seems to be your weapon of choice. It's uncalled for and inciting behaviour from others which is also inappropriate and unattractive. I write with goodness in my heart....so when I suggest that you "pull your head in", it's with good intentions. You may actually have valuable contributions to make but are letting yourself down with so many negative and insulting replies.
Reporting 'flamers' is a forum posters weapon.

don't blame the guy who makes this a numbers game
Posted: 3/6/2013 8:47:13 PM
I am not of the opinion that I owe a complete stranger any kind of response on a dating site.
I will simply not reply to those whom I have no interest in, if it's a crap message. If it's not crap I will reply with a thanks but no thanks, happy fishing reply. Since 'crap' is subjective, I guess it's my business and you can infer whatever you like from it. But it's just an inference and it has sweet F.A to do with science.
You are not a mind reader. You are making sweeping generalisations about strangers. You are "Flaming", and it's annoying. You're arguing about that which is unquantifiable and not doing a good job at it.
Further, I am busy. I am actively engaged with my life; which includes family, employment, singing at nights and attaining a Uni degree. If I choose to reply to somebody, it is often prefaced with the above; I am a busy woman.
Your post has alerted all it's women readers and responder's with a warning of who to avoid. You. A self-pitying troll who likes to incite and flame.

Why do women think sarcasm is a desirable trait?
Posted: 2/28/2013 2:32:25 PM
Sarcasm=the use of irony to mock or convey contempt:
(http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sarcasm)
Irony =the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect:
(http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/irony?q=irony)

I feel that people sometimes fail to realise that humour is subjective. One persons sarcasm may be interpreted as hurtful by some and elicit great belly laughs from another.

Thanks for your reply. It's great to know that not all people think the same. We share a commonality of experience, but different opinions on my topic.
I have a joke for you..Wouldn't you like to sue Second Hand Shops for false advertising..lols...
At the end of the day, if someone isn't attracted to me due to my differences, I don't want to know them anyway. I do not believe people are 'entitled' to an explanation. It's an irrelevance to me and I seek same in others. I'd still prefer my way. It may be passive confrontational and make someone else feel uncomfortable; but I wasn't put on this earth to make others feel ok about my differences..My life is to be lived to the fullest and to do my best to build my on potential. They're missing out on getting to know me ;-)

Lower Back Pain Lumbar Epidural.
Posted: 2/26/2013 11:12:09 PM
In a motorbike stack I broke my spine..Had a spinal fusion at L4,L5,S1 after trying the epidurals which had no effect for me.My surgery was a complete success. I have some residual nerve damage which causes pain if I wear heels, climb stairs or hills. But as a woman who has one arm longer than the other it beats the hell out of turning circles in a wheelchair.
The core muscle strengthening exercises are really very important. Your body will strengthen and protect the region which gives you pain. The rest of your body will adjust in sympatico.
Good luck with it.

I don't date single Dad's out of respect for the kids. I have nothing to offer the children.

What's up with girls who can't share the spotlight? Low self esteem?
Posted: 2/26/2013 9:58:12 PM
I'll share the spotlight as long as the bugger can play his instrument properly.
Jealousy is boring and not worth the self doubt.
I deal with it by avoidance.
"They are really limiting themselves on meeting some awesome people because of their low self esteem!"
You can't back up your conclusion.
Perhaps you simply haven't rung any bells, or at the very least, any bells.
How is your self-esteem, as you point the finger, do you feel superior?
