Expectation of anger
Posted: 9/7/2012 5:48:24 PM
I rarely agree with Literate, but my first thought when I read the post was to immediately look at the pic and think, well no shyt Sherlock.

If your idea of who you are is someone who points guns at the world, then yes, it's a good profile pic.

House sitting for the EX wife/husband....strange???
Posted: 8/22/2012 6:31:05 PM
I don't see anything wrong with it. It is quite possible for people to be divorced and have a civilized relationship- the other person IS after all the parent of their children. I know couples who divorced but had the other stay with them while recuperating from surgery- AND were with another partner at the time.

I know families who have Christmas dinner all together. None of those couples were having sex with each other or went back to each other.

He's not staying with her, he's taking care of her pets (possibly animals he is familiar with). I don't see how doing her a favour is a red flag.

Advice on talking about exclusivity
Posted: 8/21/2012 10:45:31 AM

So I don't know, how does this work? If you do have sex and discover there is little physical chemistry, are you only exclusive for a couple of days? Or do you say, if this part of our relationship goes well, I expect we will be exclusive? Surely by having sex it doesn't mean you are exclusive for years?


Well if there was little physical chemistry (although I do think I would know that before having sex) then we wouldnt keept seeing each other, rendering the question moot.

IOW, while we were seeing the other and sexually involved, there would be no other parties involved.

Thank you for posting about this. I am sure there are many of us who would not know about this type of thing, and are now safer internet dating because of your post.

Sorry you had to take flak for it here. It would certainly creep me out, and probably most women. If you were a girl no one would have told you to get over it- interesting eh?

Monster Children
Posted: 8/18/2012 9:31:12 AM

I was being very descriptive to make a point if 'Adult' conversation offends you, I'm sure there are plenty of Teen sites that would suit you.


It is totally inappropriate to refer to a CHILD as any type of whore. This is a child- the only 'adult' conversation that would apply to your comments would be pedophilia.

Mature respectful sexually appropriate adults do not sexualize children in any way. And that has nothing to to with 'adult' conversation.

The more people I date
Posted: 8/15/2012 1:45:16 PM
So all those 'wonderful' men had one attribute the OP liked. Why would you think you could find one man with everything? It is possible that some of the qualities you are looking for are mutually exclusive.

That wealthy hard driven executive type isn't going to be available to spend as much time with you as you want. The laid back guy who is so sweet to you isnt going to be pulling in that salary you seem to want. And so on. In the meantime you will drive every man away from you looking for the unattainable.

Here's my advice. Figure out what THE most important thing is to you, and the ONE big dealbreaker. Look for that in someone you are attracted to. That's not settling, that's called having priorities.

ignoring texting game
Posted: 8/13/2012 11:28:59 AM
It's hard to know how serious things are between OP and her guy. Or how long they have been seeing each other, to know if there is an actual 'pattern'. So I don't feel like I can comment on that.

BUT. There have been some posts that suggest the guy is off with a woman and playing games. Just gotta say- any good player will have no problem finding the time and privacy to send a few texts while away with someone else.

Texts mean nothing!

Quite frankly, it sounds to me like he's an average guy who went off with the guys and forgot to text his gf because he felt no need to, maybe even forgot. That can happen even when someone is crazy in love with you. Stop LOOKING for signs of disrespect. You should be able to know when someone is disrespecting you, and it won't be because the poor guy forgot to send you a text. (And even apologized about it)

Plain Janes Better Than The Pretty Ones?
Posted: 8/1/2012 12:47:27 PM
Why do we continue this ridiculous discussion of rating women ( and sometimes men) on their perceived rating or rank based on physical attraction....

I`m moving myself into the IDGAF category of woman from now on. It`s a much nicer home than the lower tier most of yàll have me placed, based on body and all that other stuff.


And oddly, once in a while a man finds me there and even with the lack of bleached hair, makeup and lipo, finds me wildy attractive. And I likewise.

Friends with Benefits... Found someone Else
Posted: 7/30/2012 9:30:43 PM
I thought thats what I said, 'unless you're cheating on them"

I read what Ms Micki wrote to mean if you were having sex with multiple partners but not pretending to be in an exclusive relationship. People who do that should obviously take precautions, but that's really their own business, no one else's.

I dont know why you would feel guilty about anything you did before you met someone.

My personal position with a guy- and I tell him- is what he does until we have sex is his business. If we are going to be sexually involved, at that point I want exclusivity, and an understanding that we have some commitment towards each other. If we are dating and he goes out and gets laid, its none of my business. Not unless we become sexually involved.

Asking to meet someone
Posted: 7/30/2012 10:01:45 AM
SO I was talking to this guy for about a week, and he seemed interested but never said anything about meeting. So jokingly, I said (typed) you know, people actually meet here! He instantly came back with- do you want to meet?

Seems he thought perhaps I just wanted to chat, and he didn't want to be pushy. It's not that easy for guys to always have to be the instigators. Once I gave him the signal, he was full steam ahead.

Just had date 3...... :)


(Go ahead and ask, so what if he says no then move on and don't waste your time chatting)

Why wouldn't a woman want a good man? Should she want a bad one?

even if she did want a bad one she isn't most likely going to advertise for one.

I gather you would like to meet a woman who is more creative, or thinks a bit differently than most of the women whose profiles you are reading.

Not sure what age range you are looking at and if that might be one reason.

What's available is what's out there. Unless you want to write them and tell them ;)

Maybe looking in real life might produce more compatible partners????

Clip in extensions on middle aged women?
Posted: 7/28/2012 2:33:44 PM


However, I like to please me, I feel like a feminine, romantic, sexy woman w/ longer hair.


This. Its when we feel sexy that men also find us sexy. Not all men, of course not. But more men will find a woman sexy who feels sexy.

Of course there has to be a basic level of attraction. But it is based on so many things- well for people of depth it is.


So you go right ahead and do whatever you want to do Angel. :) Enjoy the extensions. I have some, have only used them a couple of times- I'm just not good enough with doing hair stuff. Fun tho.

Cancelling a first meet

After having guys cancel last minute (never had a no show) I am torn in my answer, because what if she turned down the tickets, and then HE didnt show, or cancelled?

I do believe in honouring commitments to meet. Not sure what I would do. Offering to take him to dinner sounds good.

How are the two of you so alike? He wants to have sex in his car, you want to spend time doing other things with him also.

He wants you to suck his**** you don't.

Those are pretty big differences. Liking the same food hardly makes up for that. Not to mention his complete disrespect for you.

A suggestion? When you break up with him, don't do it in person this time.

Living on a shoestring budget
Posted: 7/10/2012 1:53:26 PM
Children don't starve to death, but families do live in shelters, which is a pretty hellish way to grow up. Overweight children in poverty are usually malnourished, and overweight due to substandard food, lack of fresh vegetables and fruit which are far more expensive than pasta .

Never once did my ex husband and I argue about money. We each worked as much as we could, and contributed everything we had.

We never once had a fight over money while separating either. I know that is hard to believe.

Thus, I never knew this was such a big issue for people. I sure am learning.

Posted: 7/3/2012 8:22:28 AM
When I was in a LDR, one of us would pay for the ticket, one would pay the other costs.

I can see her telling him she cannot afford to buy a ticket., and then it would be up to him if he wanted to offer. I mean if she cannot afford it she just can't. But if I were asked to pay for someone else (and most likely with an air of well you can afford it so you should) that would get my back up. People like to offer, not be told what to do.

And if he didn't offer, oh well, she wouldn't go.

It always amuses me to read people's (read men) assumptions about women ( or vice versa too, to be fair). I'm sure it has to with previous experiences, but it gets so wearisome for men to make assumptions about me because of things other women have done.

But then again, no one here asks me out LOL.

Posted: 7/2/2012 7:52:21 PM
I think one of the big differences is between first marriages and later relationships. In a first marriage, especially one where you are raising kids together, blending incomes and finances makes sense. If the woman`s income is lower it is usually because she is staying home raising the family, so her financial contribution is in terms of lost economic opportunities.


However, when we are older, and meet someone we have obligations outside of the relationship. We have our own children, etc. We have already created our lives- purchased homes, made retirement plans. So it makes sense that people do want their partner to bring if not an equal, at least a not grossly disproportionate financial contribution.

And for people who have been financially taken to the cleaners after a split- well you cant blame them for being cautious.

I don't know, Welsh, I don't think these are all the same people.

I havent said any of those particular things (well if he has ED and cant or wont get it treated, yes I wont date him)


I wouldnt date someone who was mean to animals. That would be way worse than someone who had made a mistake and cheated.

I wouldnt go out with someone for whom cheating was a way of life.
