some advice please
Posted: 8/2/2009 7:45:49 AM
You don't neccesarily have to get back together.
If you've got an undeniable connection, how about you just date? Enjoy each other's company when you get together but don't make any assumptions of monogamy and don't give him all of your spare time.
Just a thought.

Car brake question
Posted: 7/26/2009 7:01:08 AM
Little known fact. Brakes need to be 'bedded in'. The first several stops will usually be weak. This is especially true if you only swapped new pads but kept the old rotors or drums.
Get to a long road with no stops signs or lights for a couple of miles. Preferably one without much traffic.

Accellerate up to about 50, then brake hard, just enough so the anti-lock does NOT come on, BUT DON'T STOP COMPLETELY!! Get back up to 50 ASAP and brake hard again. Do this several times. Get the brakes nice and hot and stinky, then do it several more times. Don't be afraid of the smell.
Very important...Do not come to a complete stop while doing this. After they're smelling pretty strong, drive around without using the brakes for about ten minutes at highwy speeds to let them cool down.

Do pay attention to how the braking feel changes as they get hotter. They should get really good and then fade again as they get hotter than they can cope with. When they start fading, you've got them hot enough and it's time to cool down.
Do avoid coming to a complete stop with the brakes clamped on untill you're cooled off.

Higher performance vehicles and race oriented pad compounds require a lot more stops from much higher speeds.

Why do this? The pads need to be shaped to the topography of the rotors/drums, and there needs to be a certain amount of pad material evenly distributed onto the rotor/drum.

You may not know anyone who is aware of this (techs included), but it is NOT BS. There is an awful lot of important info out there that is virtually unknown.
Also, brake fluid does indeed go bad, change it every two years, minimum.

Posted: 6/30/2009 7:54:16 PM
Staying power is cool, but there are things that definitely can't be worked out.

Like if she cuts off all her hair with a knife. Then throws out all the lampshades and puts in those clear lightbulbs.
Definitely time to bail...

If she buys some horrid little Boston Terrier and never bothers to house train it.

Everyone Wants a Cougar - Everyone deserves one too.
Posted: 6/30/2009 7:48:06 PM
One doesn't find cougars.
They do the finding.
That's the nature of a cougar. They're on the hunt. They know what they want and that's a little fun that pretty much always includes sex.


As a youngin' (high school and just after) all I did was hang out in adult bars. Sit at the bar, sip my drinks and be receptive.
That was fun. Sucks that I had to grow up.

Wants kids. -Already been there, time to have fun. Unless she's 24, disgustingly rich and will let me stay home and raise them as I see fit. Then I'm totally in, LOL!
Has young child/ren. - See above.
Has dogs. -too many restrictions. Tiny little 'accessory' dogs are just as bad as 80lb Rots.
Refers to pets as babies/children. -that's just wrong on so many levels. I have a cat and she's a pet, nothing more.
Love Baseball! -eh, not my thing at all.

Whom you masturbate on (your woman or out sider)?
Posted: 6/19/2009 4:59:59 PM
Who I'm thinking about when choking the chicken is nobody's business. Especially not the current GF or wife unit.
If you're a wife or GF, and think you need to know that, you have serious issues.

On the other hand, he should not volunteer that info. If he does, he's screwing with your head.

Honestly, if I'm getting trim on a frequent and regular basis, there isn't much action for Mary Palm anyway. Except if I'm reading an 'Anita Blake' book, or watching 'Wild Things'...or if Lena Olin pops into my head for some reason...or that chick I knew in Houston...

Besides, the term 'nice guy' usually means 'helpless, whiny, mope' around here. Real guys, who have strong 'nice' tendencies, don't have to mention it.

Women's reasoning in not pursueing a relationship
Posted: 5/31/2009 7:49:18 AM
Both guys and girls do this all the time...they feel like they are owed an explanation.
WRONG!
You are owed nothing!

She/He doesn't quite like you enough to date. Get the F over it. Grow up. Lot's more out there.

I had one clammoring for reasons a few years back. I thought about giving them, then decided, NO. I just can't be that mean. This person had potential, but there were issues that weren't gonna go away.
I was no way going to tell her:
1 - I don't like the way you speak to your Mom.
2 - You're on 'happy pills'...need I say more?
3 - You're hung up on tragic events that happened 25 years ago.
4 - You're bitter
5 - Your view of social situations is very different from what is really going on, it led to a mortifyingly embarrassing date, never again...
6 - I simply don't like the way you walk.
7 - Your taste in music is questionable at best.

Plus, I have every right to reject a prospective date for purely superficial reasons.
I mean really, do you whiners really want folks to tell you that stuff?
I may not want to date someone, but I don't want to undermine their sense of self worth, or crush them, just because of my personal tastes and attitudes.
I've found the women, guys too, who scream the loudest about explanations and truth are the ones least capable of handling it.

So look, when someone says "I really don't think it's going to work out", you might want to take it a face value. You may ask "Is there anything I can change" if you like, but don't push it. I bet a week's salary you will not like what you hear.

Would you prefer to date someone with a cat or a dog?
Posted: 1/17/2009 11:09:28 PM
Cat.
Fill a big bowl with kibble and another with water, you're good for a three or four day weekend away. And getting someone to refill is easy.

I've dated the dog chicks. No more.
No dogs in my car anymore, period.
No dogs coming on vacation, period.
No dogs in my house, period.
No more "I can't stay over, who's going to walk the dog?"
No more rushing her home in the evening to walk the dog, then rushing her home in the morning to feed and walk it again. And the poor creature is upset being home alone.
No more 90# Rots sharing the bed or ill-mannered Bostons chewing my $400 boots.

Unless she lives with family,
Dogs = huge restrictions

Slept with 83 people
Posted: 1/17/2009 10:38:52 PM
Sounds like she had fun.
Question should be, is this guy man enough to satisfy her.
Also, why exactly are these two getting married? Think it's time? True love? Peers think they should? Need a place to stay?

OP sounds like a wussy to me. Little boy, scared of the vag.
I was (am?) a total geek. I still managed to get (many got me actually) about 45 women in the sack by 30.
If she's hot and liked to get some on a friday night, it wouldn't be difficult at all to rack up 83 salamis. If she enjoyed playing with couples from time to time, well, do the math.

Leave the girl alone, she got some...frequently, so what?

What is it about her that you find most annoying.
Posted: 1/17/2009 10:05:31 PM
Most annoying?

The 'Key Panic' - She sticks her hand into her purse, doesn't immediately feel her keys, goes into a panic and starts looking everywhere the keys aren't. I have to grab her, put her hand back in the purse and make her actually look for the keys in the same place they are all the time. I have no idea what's up with that, an anxiety disorder perhaps?

Then there's the dreaded 'Ditz Mode'. At random times her brain just seems to switch off, like a breaker pops, and she becomes a total ditz for a short time.

Other than that...I dunno. I'm kinda falling for this one, the sun shines out her butt.

can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers?
Posted: 12/8/2008 6:35:56 PM
I just don't like it when they want to spark-up in my car.

Last thing I need is to get pulled over for something benign only to have the officers find out there's pot in the car. Then instead of getting a ticket, I'd be spending the night in jail. All because the person in the passenger seat couldn't leave the green at home.

If we're in for the night, just hanging out at home watching Dr Who, there's a chance I might even join in! Rather have Gin and Tonic though.

Dancer In The Dark (I'm strangely attracted to Bjork and still couldn't stomach this horrendous movie)

Tragic insane chicks are not cool, sexy or interesting.

A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman.
I do have a SERIOUS weak spot for Asian/Indian/Pakistani women. Especially the ones with the very 'anglo' features, very dark skin and curvacious hips...that's a killer combo if you ask me, don't know why.

There's a serious problem though, it's really tough getting past the cultural barriers. Around here they're a very tight-knit community. All I get from them is the 'Stink-Eye'.

Does it matter if a woman is a good cook?
Posted: 11/16/2008 9:44:07 PM
It definitely matters to me. No joke.
And most definitely not in the 'Ozzie and Harriet' kind of way a whole lot of you folks are thinking.

I like cooking and I like food. But I don't want to be stuck as the only one in the relationship that knows how to wield a cast iron skillet with a 3 generation history.
I'm no chef by any stretch of the imagination, but gimme $20 and a good gas stove and I'll give you a rather nice meal. I like a woman who can tell me "Move over hippie, here's how it's done!" LOL!
It's an activity we can share right at home, culinary creations are fun.

I've dated a variety of women over the years, from welfare moms to corporate CEO's, to crazy biker chicks. Nearly all could cook, some better than others. But they could all whip up an edible meal.

The ones that couldn't were, I dunno, just odd. Either trying real hard to avoid that old 50's wife stereo-type, or just astonishingly inept. Both of those reasons were rather loud hints that there would be more restrictions ahead. Not a good omen for a possible relationship.

So yeah, it matters because it means something bigger than just cooking.

How long did it take for you to meet a person from POF?
Posted: 10/27/2008 8:55:21 PM
I can't really remember...

I think I was around here for maybe two years. Made some e-friends, but nothing 'live'.
Then I got a nibble. We got together and had a great time for most of the summer.
That must have gotten things rolling because I started getting more bites.
Made a couple of good friends, fooled around a bit, but nothing serious.

Then last year I met someone from here and we've been dating ever since.

Y'know, now that I think of it...as soon as I turned 40, I started getting dates. Go figure.

Dating coworkers = no no, but this case?
Posted: 10/27/2008 8:42:14 PM
Depends where you work.
Unless your company says it's a no-no, go for it.

I work for Verizon. Been here ten years and I have not met one woman that I'd like to date.

Before this I worked in the entertainment industry. Concerts, tours, tv, industrials, movies, fashion shows, whatever. Lots of great looking and/or really cool women.
And well, pretty much everyone I ever dated was a co-worker.

After working in that biz from my teens untill around thirty, It never occurred to me that I'd meet a good woman anywhere else. 'Bar-chicks' don't count, that wasn't dating, just mating.

It was a huge shocker going to Verizon, not much by way of interesting singles at all.

Suppose you were stuck single forever...
Posted: 10/27/2008 7:33:39 PM
Wow, way to revive an old thread. WTF, I'll bite!
Honestly, if I came to that conclusion (with the aide of psychiatric professionals, of course!), it would mean that I was totally bonkers and terminally soul sick.

In reality, if you go through a bad enough dry spell and get depressed enough, you will start thinking you might be unfit for any sort of interpersonal relationships, even one-nighters. That's a real bad place to be and I'd suggest seeing a psychologist to try to get things fixt, right faakin' now. Don't go to a psychiatrist, those nozzles will just have you poppin' happy pills, not good at all.

If you haven't 'gotten any' in a year or so, go get friggin' help. Don't rationalize with vapid plattitudes, get help! Before the funk gets too deep.

For all those folks who said anything to the order of:"Being alone is OK, you have to love yourself, yada yada yada". I'm calling Bull sh--t!

Try spending a couple of years with nothing but the occasional (3 or 4 times a year) drunkin, unsatisfying romp, followed by 5 years of celibacy. An unimaginable drought.
That WILL mess a guy up. Like scars on your soul messed up. Takes a mighty toll on the self-esteem.

I don't know how I survived that, but I did. A few years down the road and it all seems like a bad dream. Thanks Jess for...being you!

Posted: 10/27/2008 6:46:59 PM
Yeah, it matters.
Not that she should always have a meal waiting, that's just creepy.
It's a basic.
It's just a cool thing to know.
I put cooking up there with swimming, bicycling and driving. These are things EVERYONE should be able to do. Maybe not well, but all of those very basic activities are a whole lot of fun if one takes the time to do them fairly competently and with 'gusto'.

Can't cook...well, what else can't she do? Never bothered to learn? Likes to be served? Or is it a neurotic knee-jerk reaction to some percieved stereotype? A misguided rebellion perhaps?
Faak it, bound to be a PITA somehow.

Have you ever felt you are used for sex?
Posted: 9/6/2008 11:25:28 PM
Have you ever felt you are used for sex?

I know it's not really the case, but it sure feels like it sometimes.
My girlfriend's got a complicated home situation and doesn't get a lot of time away from her kids. It's usually a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. It's our only private time, so we go to it.

That leaves me with no one to take out for dinner or drinks. No well dressed hottie on my arm at the symphony. No one with me at family gatherings or car shows. No one to 'put their freak on' with me at the Wicked Faire. Definitely no weekends away.
And no one around when I'm actually horny.

I don't know, sometimes it really does feel like I'm the weekly sausage, and it don't feel good. Sucks 'cause I really like her. Talking about it only makes her feel worse about her screwed-up situation, so we kinda ignore the prob.

I thought things got less complicated over 40?

When a woman is so beautiful you can't approach her.
Posted: 9/6/2008 10:35:31 PM
When a woman is so beautiful you can't approach her.

Hmm...ain't the woman's problem.

I figured out when I was young, might as well go for it. I mean, if you're certain she's going to reject you, what have you got to lose?

Approaching un-approachable women was my modus operandi for most of my 20's. It's also a good excercise in dealing with rejection. You get to find out that it's no big deal. Might get ten blasts of stink-eye, but that one that smiles is sooo worth it.
It's also really cool when some of those un-approachable women actually seem to take a shine to you. Some just liked the fact that as goofy as I was, I was able to muster up enough stones to try.

So basically, if a woman comes across as intimidatingly attractive, that's a sure sign I NEED to go over and say "Hi!"

Just go for it! Don't crawl away, go down in flames! Fail with style!

Prenuptial - maintaining physique - is it reasonable?
Posted: 9/6/2008 9:56:11 PM
I think it's a little odd, but what the heck.
One could also look at it this way.
If I'm signing onto to a legal contract to honor, love and cherish, and never to have sex with anyone else...ever, I'd greatly appreciate it if she stays somewhat close to the person I entered that contract with.
Whether she puts on another 200#'s or turns into some ethically challenged psycho, she's very much not the person I signed on with. Stuff happens, things change, but y'know, lets try to be reasonable here.

Same could go the other way. I know quite a few guys who prefer larger women. I'm kinda thinking they'd appreciate the wife staying nicely plump. Who knows?

Doesn't get better than that. I keep some in the fridge at all times.

Honestly though, I like most of the micro- and mini-brews, leaning heavily towards ales and 'bitters'.


Buuuutt...If I'm drinking all day long, it's gotta be something weak, like that almost seltzer Coor Light.

Guys asking to meet with you immediately
Posted: 5/14/2008 9:17:30 PM
I'm all for meeting up fairly quickly. I came here looking for a GF not a pen-pal. Got the GF and a couple of really good friends along the way.
Swap a few e-mails and if you seem to get along go get lunch or coffee. Contacting folks who are reasonably local helps A LOT!

There are also a lot of folks on here who have no intentions of ever going 'real world' and another batch that would like to but are struggling through huge anxieties about it.
I think the latter group are the ones who get freaked about being asked for a meeting too quickly.

Ohh, I read the OP. Yeah, digits or a meet on the first e-mail isn't cool. If a chick did that to me my first thought would be that she's a nutter.

Yup, should be easy.
There are an awful lot of folks getting all emo, thinking that just because you chat with them, or g-d forbid, go out sometime, that you can't also be doing so with others.
Throw a playful, naked romp into the mix and folks get alllll messed up, lol.

I'm more than a little happy I'm currently 'exclusive', but yes, legally, I'm still single and so is my girlfriend. Our agreement to be exclusive does not change that.

Paying for College OR a Life Altering Trip
Hmmm...I'm not in a position to pay for either. Kiddo's off to school right now on grants, her loans and some that I had to co-sign. Plus various chunks of cash from me for 'right now' expenses.
Funny thing, just a couple of weeks ago she mentioned that she'd pay me back right after school. Huh?
She kinda bugged when I replied that she wasn't to pay a dime unless she immediately started making more cash than I was. Since her mom is keeping tabs on what the kid owes her, she assumed that that was normal and I'd be doing the same.
As it is now, if she passes, I pay. If she fails, gets preggers or drops out to be a waitress, the loans are her problem.
I'm thinking she's going to do fine. She didn't like growing up poor very much. She focused on advertising and graphic arts careers in high school figuring there's good money to be had while excersizing her artistic tendencies. I couldn't disagree. When she started talking about investments and real estate for side 'hobbies' I kinda got that she's been researching ways to maximize income. She's way ahead of me, like 2 and a half decades worth.
Yeah, I'm thinking she''ll be OK and I've got no problem at all committing to paying off her loans while she gets things rolling. Damn, I love that young lady something fierce.

Doesn't single mean unattached ?

I thought "single" meant "not dating anyone EXCLUSIVELY." That would mean they could still be seeing several people.

That's exactly what it means. The trick is being respectful. Don't ask, don't tell unless you're BOTH ready to go exclusive.

Did you have Naughty for Christmas? Did you like it?

I liked it just fine. Not as much as the 'french maid', 'naughty nurse', 'Bettie Page/pinup'. Definitely not nearly as hot as the woman who had a few custom built corsets I could tie her into nice and tight.

And that ain't fairy tales. Fairy wings, 'Bo Peep' and 'Dorothy' are fairy tales. Fun indeed.

I'm easy though, if she wears anything that includes a garter belt and stockings, I will remember her very fondly.

Kids say the darndest things

My quote's from when the kiddo was a bit older than most of these posts.

When I asked my 17 y.o. daughter if she was really sure going to art school was a wise choice, and that I was a little off-put by the size of the student loans I'd have to co-sign. She replied:

"I don't want to be an artist. I'm going for graphic arts and advertising. There's allways money in advertising and I'm going to need a butt-load to take care of you two overgrown high-schoolers. Plus I want a good-sized family and that ain't cheap either. Besides the work, I want to start flipping houses by 25. I've done the research, I can make it happen."

She was dead serious. We looked at each other and after a long pause all I could say was, "Damn...you really are the best kid ever. As long as you pass, I'll pay for school."

Ex wife's b/f is letting my 3 y/o daughter steer the car...

Yeah, we are getting more paranoid. The world is NOT a safe place no matter what you do.

I guess I'm a really bad man. I used to let my daughter handle the wheel on A 35' truck in the stop and go traffic on the Queensboro Bridge here in NYC. As soon as she could reach the pedals I had her driving my hot-rod around the runways of an old airbase here in Brooklyn. Scary how fast she picked it up. Some things are best learned young before you get scared.

Any farm folks out there? those kids learn to drive very large, dangerous and expensive equipment well before it's healthy.

Can't wrap the whole world in pillows.

Is it really true men feel like this??

That guy does sound like a mo-ron indeed.

I'm kinda having a situation right now. My girl's off to college and starting her own life. I'm totally ready to go on cruises, impromtu B&B weekends and general adult fun stuff.
Thing is my girlfriend's got young kids and can't do sh1t. It's getting a little frustrating. I mean I like the kiddo's, but I kinda want to have some fun.
Eh, I really like her though, just gotta tough it out for a while.

Sexual desire over thirty?
Posted: 12/24/2007 10:40:00 PM
Oh yeah, the desire part's in overdrive, but the equipment only works for the very special little honey that's got my heart.


Well sh1t, looking back, that sounds a little ghey...faak it, I'm over it.
