Looking good for your age Posted: 10/3/2009 5:14:24 PM
Is it an insult? It sort of sounds like it. It could be 'you're looking good, especially good considering your age' but it still sounds like like a left-handed compliment. I occasionally see people who look good and much younger than their age, but can't think of a compliment which doesn't sound like 'qualified' by the age rather than in addition to it. Any ideas?

Old people driving. Posted: 9/12/2009 4:15:10 PM
It's only a matter of time before the elderly start causing more accidents. There are more of them still driving, they're less likely to want to stop, and public transport is worse than it used to be, fewer services etc. AFAIK unless you cause an accident or have some known medical problem, you can continue driving.

Are parents immune to how annoying their kids are? Posted: 9/12/2009 4:09:25 PM
I had to leave in the end, it was just too shrill and loud to be sitting near. My question is, at what point would it be acceptable for me to ask them to shut it up? Do parents become immune to the amount of noise their kids make? I wouldn't get involved with the family, but I would point it out to the restaurant. If they want a noisy kids place, let them have it, if they want a 'well behaved' place then do something about it.

Men lose their minds speaking to pretty women Posted: 9/4/2009 3:22:50 PM
The research shows men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive. You really have to be careful if you're doing business with an attractive woman, not to be sidetracked by the beauty, and make sure you get what you want. OTOH I'm reasonably immune to that effect now, so I quite prefer the attractive saleswoman, to see what ploys they may use, although I'd probably still be taken in by that woman on The real Hustle.

Are you a snob about anything? Posted: 8/28/2009 4:04:27 PM
I am a snob about tea, I hate cheap crappy tea and will refuse to drink up, not to the point of being rude but will avoid at all costs. PG Tips being the best. I'm an Earl Grey drinker so most other teas taste lacklustre in comparison. I was going to say 'nooooo', but now you mention it, it's what could be described as 'chavish' styles and behaviour. I could never watch 'Shameless'. I was brought up in a similar surroundings as was my mum but it was drilled into her and us not to act like we belonged there, which was a two-edged sword, you had to fight for your right to sound your aitches. [rant]aitch but not 'haitch'![/rant]

Why daren't I share my opinion? Posted: 8/28/2009 3:12:24 PM
Apart from the odd aged rant, which I'm now allowed due to advancing years, I only vent forth on subjects I'm prepared to argue about. Fortunately there aren't many for me now, but I suspect as I move further into grey-haired oblivion I'll need to be noisier. I recently noticed forum posts no longer appear on profiles, so maybe I should rant more!

Single women prefer married men! (It's true) Posted: 8/28/2009 2:48:26 PM
I prefer men who've committed to someone at least at some point in their lives, even if the relationship failed. After all, you can't learn if you haven't made mistakes or taken chances in life. But have they really committed or just got something in the bank but still looking for other opportunities when possible. I remember that being the outlook from some of my married friends so I wouldn't necessarily take it too positively. OTOH I remember getting on well with most of my mate's wives when I was single but assumed it was due to the 'pressure off' situation, as it wasn't like singles meeting. Also (with one exception) I didn't fancy any of my mate's wives, so no date-style awkwardness.

USA Right Attacks British NHS as Death Panels For Old Posted: 8/19/2009 6:54:18 PM
The USAns are getting a biased pitch on the NHS from the vested interests of the US health industry where they can make big profits, although some of the HMOs are reigning that in so costs aren't unlimited but ditto for the coverage. Even the NHS had to allow specialists to have part-time private consultation work in parallel to NHS work to get enough backing for the whole system. The US system seems to be ok if you have a job with health benefits, self-employed with enough income to buy health insurance with adequate cover or elderly. If you become unemployed or poor, unless you're sufficiently ill for your life to be immediately threatened, there'll be no treatment, unless you can find a charity surgery, until you waste away possibly to the point of death by which time it'll probably be too late to prevent the inevitable. Even those with cover and funds can be bankrupted by chronic illness. I often see fund raisers for older celebs fallen on hard times by chronic illness. One of the ideas behind the NHS was if treatment was given in good time the general health of the nation would improve and the actual cost required would reduce, when compared to the previous system similar to the US with insurance, payment plans or PAYG. Maybe if the self inflicted illnesses from booze, smoking, obesity and lethargy were discounted it adds up. OTOH there are more treatments at more cost for things that were fatal before the NHS, so probably not.

Would you do any job rather than be unemployed? Posted: 8/19/2009 6:23:03 PM
My question is would you do any job even if you were overqualified to do it rather than be unemployed or would you rather wait for the right job to come along? Probably, apart from the very icky ones but for a limited time. I was a student and did a summer job as a bin man which wasn't too bad once you'd master some techniques. A mate had a job bagging amputated limbs prior to incineration. Yet another drove hospital ambulance collecting deceased for delivery to the morgue. I wouldn't want to work in slaughtering/meat processing though, anything with much killing blood and guts etc.

Has Dating Become More Difficult? Posted: 8/19/2009 6:06:59 PM
I think it's easier to get a date but trickier to convert to relationship the older and longer you've been away. Don't know if it's common but I'm finding the closer I've got to a very good relationship match (which didn't work out), the less I'm inclined to settle for a lesser match. I used to contemplate an LDR but after a recent SDR, an LDR doesn't seem attractive now.

RIP Les Paul Posted: 8/15/2009 4:22:57 PM
I watched and recorded the documentary on him last year. He seemed to like to laugh a lot, crack jokes etc., and I'm sure that's why he lived so long and was still playing up to a few weeks ago. He also invented multi-track recording. I think sound-on-sound recording may have pre-dated him, but virtually everything recorded which didn't have everyone in the same room at the same time was down to his invention. Even classical recording where everyone is in the same room recording at the same time are multi-tracked for ease of mixing at a later stage.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach entrance fee. Posted: 8/13/2009 6:38:48 PM
Charging £5 for entrance to the Pleasure Beach however is ludicrous. Ok sure it may keep some undesirables out, but charging people just for the pleasure of holding their kids bags while they actually go on the rides is just not on. Entry should be included in the wrist band price, and for a party of people, non riders should be allowed free entry wrist bands, if going with a big enough group? If the £5 was recoupable on rides it would be ok but I can't see £5 worth of entertainment just for that entry fee, which you can in some places. Maybe they'll improve the place to that level before punters will avoid it completely, but I doubt it.

when were old Posted: 8/11/2009 5:28:15 PM
It doesn't matter what age you are there tends to be a 'trend' of clothing, social and music habits for each age group. We shamed my mum out of the tight perm and polythene rain hood, when I mentioned a day trip bus queue I'd passed where they all had identikit perms and hoods. She started getting a bob more like June Brown has now, and binned the poly hood. She just hadn't noticed she'd slipped into that trend which made her look older, when she could still pass for younger than her actual age. What about the short-sleeved shirt, blue denim jeans and trainers uniform brigade = any average bloke from 20s-60s at the weekend!

The bizarre and fetish scene Posted: 8/10/2009 4:36:17 PM
She got more and more kinky and more obsessed by sex and - it dominated (arf) everything and got in the way of a relationship developing. Ho hum. I was once involved with someone who wanted a kidnap scene. Unfortunately she didn't want a play-acting at a pre-arranged date and time but a 'realistic as possible' situation. All very well but most likely to attract police or other unwelcome attention, so I passed.

My question is: Is there any style of music you don't like? What is it and why do you dislike it? If you can call it music, rap! It's just bad poetry with a limited range of forms and subjects. OK some of it is reasonable but most is just hectoring and whining. Not interested, get over it! Classical is generally ok, but some of the stuff where an entire orchestra is used to make sound effects defeats me. I prefer to listen to the original sound effects not an orchestral impression.

Should high heels be banned in the work place? Posted: 8/8/2009 4:35:31 PM
If your a man do you enjoy seeing a lady in high heels during the course of a days work? I like the look but I'm always suspecting there's damage being done it they are worn at length. Banning wouldn't work but I think a change of shoes would be advisable for part of a whole work day. 'Heel walking' looks better now. I rarely see the 'bent knee' walk of old, in the days of white stilettos.

The bizarre and fetish scene Posted: 8/6/2009 4:18:01 PM
I'm fairly 'live and let live' about things but the 'fetish scene' can be all things to all people and not necessarily what appeals to any one person. Just because someone would like to wear clingy, shiny or fantasy stuff doesn't necessarily mean they want to be involved in S/M stuff and vice versa but often clubs have to cater for all interests. For some the all-inclusive funfair nature of these events is ideal so they can pick'n'mix from what's on offer. For others it's all too OTT to be enjoyable, so horses for courses depending on the event, caveat emptor. I notice the current range of women's extreme high-heeled shoes are definitely fetish inspired.

Do some young women dress too revealingly.? Posted: 6/29/2009 4:57:54 PM
I know I'm at the risk of sounding like an old fart, but how did such dress become acceptable.? I think it was spillover from 'entertainment' movies videos and fashion intending to be sexually shocking. When Pans People became too tame so it needed Hot Gossip, Hill's Angels etc. Then the 'x-rated' Madonna video moves and styles copied by upcoming teens, so now we can have 13 year olds trotting about in identikit fetish-slut outfits with no real knowledge of the background to this particular 'look'. I'm fairly immune to it now but every now and again I see some who wouldn't look out of place in some European red light districts. I hear what some say, in that it shouldn't matter, but is a form of 'fire' that can result in burns, so should probably come with health warnings.

Single? Ever really HONESTLY asked yourself why? Posted: 6/21/2009 5:18:51 PM
It varied over time. Originally I had a lot of things I wanted to do and could see my coupled and married friends weren't able to do those things, especially when the families started. Later I realised that my friend's domestic situations weren't particualarly attractive to me, so no reason to follow their lead. I also never found anyone not wanting to follow that particular lifestyle. Now I see a lot of single empty nesters looking to do the things I've always done but my health has taken a turn for the worst, so I'm not so able to do those things predictably now. I'll keep looking but I'm less optimistic about finding or meeting someone compatible, and probably not feeling the right degree of motivation to try and make things happen like I may have done in the past.

There is a ring, can't recall its name but it has a crown over a heart with two hands either side, and depending on which way round you wear it, is supposed to signify whether your single or not. I remember looking at a few of them but they all looked a bit too ornate for my tastes and can't recall ever noticing anyone wearing one.

Relationships...a step back in time. Posted: 6/9/2009 4:46:48 PM
If they don't last so long now, is it because there's a smaller pool of matches, or were you more tolerant to your differences/their shortcomings in your younger years? Cliched film plots are only cliched when you've see a lot of films. Sometimes I feel I know how this ends before it starts. It may not be the case but sometimes I try avoid repeating the same mistakes more than chancing it will work out differently.

UK POF Meets : Icebreaker Ideas? Posted: 6/9/2009 11:41:16 AM
The trouble with icebreakers is, they are toe curlingly embarassing to most folk What about having a room full of computers, and people can message each other? I remember seeing something about a Muslim country (could have been Iran) where 'singles' aren't allowed to meet but go to bars (tea, coffee?) and text each other or something similar (message, bluetooth?). I think in another country there was also a bar with some sort of comms TV on each table and contact could be made via table numbers. Maybe get Maplins or a phone company to sponsor a meet and supply the kit?

breaking zips Posted: 6/6/2009 4:32:47 PM
Usually the 'closer' parts company with the teeth causing the embarrasing 'open flies' situation. I used to carry some tiny safety pins 'just in case', but yesterday the 'tag' came off the closer, so no 'open fly' situation but the 'closer' on this particular zip locked closed without the tag! I was in the men's at the time and couldn't get the zip to budge. I hastily withdrew to a cubicle and realised I couldn't get my pants off with the zipper 'locked'. Luckily I managed to re-engage enough of the tag to 'unlock' the zip but it was a close run thing. I'll now have to check all my pants zippers for 'locking' or 'non-locking' variants and carry appropriate emergency kit, like surgical shears. Any zipper stories you can share?

Chronic Fatigue Posted: 6/6/2009 4:12:47 PM
Just to agree with smileyinkamloops there's no 'standard' with cfs/me. I have it too and it's very variable. Some days 70% of my previous self, other times 30% or less and there's no way of predicting which way or for how long, although the 'crash' after trying to do too much in a good period is often the 'norm'. Your friend may find the energy level of her parent's friends more like her own currently (not that all old-agers are more sedentary). It's up to you whether you can deal with your friend's current lifestyle compared to what it used to be, but it's common that previous friends drift away because of that change in aptitiudes. Depression is common because of the illness and separately, but it's also promoted in some medical circles as the sole cause, so not a popular view with sufferers.

Attractiveness - Of course it matters... Posted: 5/21/2009 6:27:01 PM
I've read a few of these things before. One interesting one was when a 'lads mag' put a beautiful international star on the front cover they sold fewer copies than when they had a less well known 'girl next door type' on the cover. IIRC the buyers felt they 'had a chance' with someone like the 'girl next door' type but not with the international star. That's supposed to translate to real life too, with the most attractive (women, at least) getting less attention that would be expected, because most men are ranking themselves out of competition at the outset.

pro model photos on POF Posted: 5/21/2009 5:56:47 PM
I noticed recently a few profiles on POF with only pro model photos. I think they were genuine of the person, not trying to pretend to be someone else, but it seemed par with some of the unecessarily bad pics used. Sure you look good, but you're a pro model (or in the beauty industry) and the pics have been posed and taken by a pro photographer, probably with a good helping on Photoshop (OK so who doesn't use that, or similar), but what do you look like in an average 'snap'?

Men with beards and moustaches - is it sexy? Posted: 3/17/2009 6:00:15 PM
Men - why do you choose to have facial hair? Or why do you not have facial hair? I started after leaving school, can't recall if shaving was a school rule but think it was. It also helped my acne as I was no longer spreading contamination etc. I did shave it all off once for shock value. Like my hair I tend to wear my face hair longer in winter than summer. I think my chin now looks better with than without. I haven't noticed it being a problem with women I'm attracted to, although I know some women prefer me with short hair, others with it long. I think if I was to be without facial hair for life, I'd seriously consider having the hair permanently removed. When I do sculpt the facial hair even the shaved 'smooth' parts are abrasive and more likely to cause damage to others in close contact than the parts with fuller hair.

A bird in the flesh is worth ? on the internet Posted: 3/15/2009 6:41:57 PM
I just had the briefest of conversations with a stranger on a railway station today and I was surprised at how much information verbal and non-verbal can pass in such a short time. If I saw the same person on an internet profile I'm not sure I would be equally interested, but you get so much more in person and within 4-5 sentences of an exchange. On the downside I suppose if another person takes an instant dislike to you in person, maybe for some fairly irrational reason, it's probably less likely to happen via the net.

Thai Brides Posted: 3/15/2009 6:24:19 PM
My question is do you think these mail order brides ever work out, or are the Thai's just looking for a passport and have no intention of staying faithful and married?[/qoute] I don't know if they work out short term or long term but if there'a big age difference, and there usually is, unless the guy is fairly wealthy, which isn't usually the case, when he croaks, the woman ends up transplanted in a foreign culture with few if any friends and it's not easy or impossible to return to her own culture. I know a few eastern European women where it hasn't worked out for them, could be their own fault, but it's still between a rock and hard place and they don't have much of an ethnic 'look' to deal with, pro or con.

I think you can still 'connect' on a subconcious level with something in a photo or an 'about me', sometimes positive other times negative. You don't get the movement, sense of dress or 'normal face' you get in the flesh people watching, that can indicate some other personality traits, positive, negative, compatible or incompatible. I don't know about you, but if I see a very long 'about me' I start doubting, and only read the top and bottom. Only read any of the middle if the top/bottom have been of interest.

OCD's obsesive, compulsive, disorder Posted: 4/28/2008 6:27:07 PM
I used to stutter and picked up a few nervous ticks as a kid, such as 'throat clearing' and a sort of 'neck craning'. My mum was an old fashioned type and got me out of them by checking me every time I 'ticked'. Slowed my speaking down to stop the stutter. I also had a period of panic attacks mid-life but never got any rational fears up to the level of a phobia. I have consciously tried to limit anything I was doing habitually, because at some level I felt it may have become out of my control to stop. On one hand I don't have anything resembling OCD but I do have a fear of adopting habitual and compulsive behaviour.

Platonic relationships...can they work? Posted: 4/28/2008 5:59:15 PM
Can a relationship without sex really work? or are people just kidding themselves? It would be interesting to see how men and womens opinions on this really differ? I think it can but depends on the people involved, and it's probably more difficult for men on the visual/testosterone level if you find the woman physically attractive. Did Jerry have a platonic relationship with Barbara in 'The Good Life'?

I didn't pretend to be younger than I am but didn't feel it a problem because we had the common interest of my website. Now I wouldn't actively seek contact with those age differences, but I wouldn't reject them out of hand either, just be fairly wary.

This Ice Cream Van Is Driving Me Mad,,,,,,Any Advice? Posted: 4/25/2008 5:24:23 PM
Twice a day this bloody ice cream van stops out side my house blasting his music so loud its driving me mad and I'm thinking of taking action.... I think you could probably get him under current 'noise nuisance' laws if it's too loud but unlikely to be able to stop it completely. How about offering the local kids free ice-cream if they don't buy from him? He may then get the message and leave the site alone.

leave england or not leave england Posted: 4/25/2008 5:08:53 PM
I don't think so? it's on a par to here in most places - but the blacks (sorry Vapourise) afro-americans of new york, new jersey, washington, savannah etc etc. would probably prefer our standard of living. I agree that the poor and some sections of the US populace are probably worse off, but a skilled worker or professional in an economy on the rise would be generally better off, while your health stays OK.
