Do you ever see POF members in public? Posted: 8/24/2011 10:27:56 PM
Yes, I do and have in Las Vegas - even people from other states!! Weird but true. I have been approached by people who "saw" my profile on POF and have actually gained good friends due to this... Isn't that why we're here?

Screw Pickup Lines, What is the best place & way to introduce ones self Posted: 9/16/2007 9:55:53 PM
Ok....valid response: hmmmmm.....best way is to BE who you ARE. One obviously MUST know that first....and once that is configured....it shouldn't matter where and what is said....may sound like BS to most... however they're the one's using that start and/or asking your same question. Therefore, the best you can do is be YOU. I realize it may sound unrealistic, not work, etc.....However one must look at -- WHAT are you looking for? WHO are you looking for ? Once all that's figured....doesn't matter where/what is said....unless in fact you are looking for what you WILL find; an unindulgent (if that's a word, lol) , unsatisfactory relationship which cannot even end up in a friendship....(everyone knows, guys have enough friends; dont' need more)..... Just a POV....Good luck to you!!!

If you've had cancer or an illness at what point in a relationship do you tell Posted: 8/13/2007 9:52:15 PM
Ok, HI everyone! Do not know many of you; would love to get to know you; been a member of POF for just .....I don't know ....a tiny minute! Just a follow through here....."""If you've had cancer or an illness at what point in a relationship do you tell"" .... didn't read last 5 pages; however, it is one's own decision to tell of this of themselves. Cancer as well as many OTHER illnesses are NOT always airborne pathogens...they are usually VIRUS'. We, as people are ALL born with it! Whether it ingests/tranfers itself is another story....however, to answer the inital question, If you've had cancer or an illness at what point in a relationship do you tell"" that would depend on the indivdual....are you in love? Do you want to spend the rest of your "time" with this individual? If so, then YES, HELL YES, tell the TRUTH!! These in my point of view are very poignant yet true questions one would have to feel a "comfort" about; if you will.....as well as give the OTHER person the respect to accept and/or decline or even inquire about..... Just MY POV.....

Has something happened to you where you changed what you thought was a core belief? Posted: 4/27/2007 10:07:33 PM
Have to say....and yes, to the acclaim of the higher....whatever that may be to another....it's a sad, however, yet true "interference" in which one must overcome and succumb...nevertheless.....yes, sadly; yet proudly I have been of admonishment of such "justice." And yes, it sucks!!! In other words, it can be a blessing...................all in how the disguise is.............. but yet it make one a better person for the worth!!!! (whatever that may mean to another........................makes a great deal of means to me....whether it's mattered or not) (Just a POV).....

Da plane!!!! Da plane, Boss!!!! This, girl cant't help it, won't deny it, Dr. Strange has been witness....YEP, I'm a snorer!!! And yes, I'm sure it sucks (for those who can hear it!! Like my neighbors, Cali and Utah; my cats, oh never mind!!!) I do go to S.A. (Snorer's Anon) and my sponser says I'm doin' well, she now can hear the F-14's from Nellis at night! (Hey, for those of you who don't know of this, that's not funny, that's an improvement as F-14's are quite loud and can, at times, crack your windows of your house!) P.S. Luv that Dr. S!!!

The Greatest Act of Love??? Posted: 1/1/2006 10:36:44 PM
As I've read above; in previous posts; to give above and beyond your OWN wants and desires in order to fulfill another's you do admire/care about, for ANY reason whether you know them or not, thus, with no feeling of remorse or guilt. Just a POV...

Which characteristics do you find LEAST desirable in members of the opposite sex? Posted: 12/18/2005 10:21:28 PM
Narcissism. Definitions as per encarta: 1. self-admiration: excessive self-admiration and self-centeredness 2. personality disorder: in psychiatry, a personality disorder characterized by the patient's overestimation of his or her own appearance and abilities and an excessive need for admiration. In psychoanalytic theory, emphasis is placed on the element of self-directed sexual desire in the condition.

Intimidation and Strong Women Posted: 12/18/2005 10:09:36 PM
OT: I believe men may be more leary than intimidated by a "strong woman." Each person has their own "idea" of what intimidation vs. strong is....some who see themselves as "intimidating and/or strong" aren't always so....however, a man that is truly secure within himself WILL be confidant with a strong woman, realize she is HIS; compliment him so whereby both compromise for what each may not be best in and finally, KNOW it and be proud of her!! just a POV....

To the OP on this "so" subject of insanity.....You are not of the uncosmic as you'd like to believe....life is of the giving....even with insanity as "we" as people know it; doesn't mean it's wrong or right...it's just what "we" feel.....don't give up so easily....trust me...and YOU don't know me ....however will ALWAYS stand next to/behind YOU when you are right in your feel of things...trust me...don't play it; just feel it......don't let THIS one situational get YOU down......there is soooooooooooooooooooo much more to life!!!!!! Trust me on this, without knowing me...there are few here on POF that will back ME.....know it...trust it my new friend....

"It's finding a man who truly is a king, one deserving of respect and honor. ...The true character of an individual is reflected in how we find ourselves responding to them. Find a man with a regal character and you'll find him being treated like a king by everyone." Bucs has it down....tis true ^^^. Dragon is definitely ONE of those....is admired and respected my many.... ...especially dragon tail swaying O women...

what put a major smile on your face today? Posted: 11/13/2005 10:01:25 PM
a major smile......is dragon being WHO he is.....in addition....reading all the posts of those on POF I truly respect....and then some for YOU KNOW WHO.... and the effectiveness YOU portray as to WHO YOU ARE....makes me smile genuinely.. In addition.... (may sound bad to some) but this IS my reality.... my daughter making 13 baskets yesterday on her all male baskeball league; she has the saying. "Anything boys can do, I can do better." ....not that it's true. However, "that's MY GIRL!!!."....AND i truly love her for it....(not that theres's anything wrong with that....lol) watching the blue angels and more write in the air from Nellis A.F.B. what freedom means to those of of US who live it; smile on my face.... bats outside my window right now; squealing of their desire.....not sure what that is...but in Vegas...actually is a soothing sound....as weird as that may be....

Why do so many women just want sex?? Posted: 11/7/2005 10:21:51 PM
OT: Not so many just want sex....they want it for many different reasons....but mostly without the feeling of being made to feel inhumane; just wanted; even if for a moment for some....something EVEN you seem to be missing.... To the OP of this thread....gawd, it must sooooo suck being YOU....(I can actually visualize this, YIKES) and oh yeah....in the most least narcissistic attitude one could possibly portray.... I'm scared for you in the most sincere way.... ;l "I don't understand why so many women just want to use me for their sexual satisfaction? I'm a sensitive guy with brains and a heart too!! But most of the women I talk with or the messages I get on here are all about sex, sex, sex!getting really tired of it!! Any ideas??" A) Firstly, based on your previous posts, the "I don't understand" statement can't be more of the truth; your a definite when it comes to showing WHO you are and not understanding; B) Secondly, "I'm a sensitive guy...." must be regarding your allergy to life and what it's really all about; the hives must be horrid; C) Thirdly, "most of the women...are about sex, sex, sex...." and YOU mean to tell me you don't bring this on yourself in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER....yeah....I see it...beep. beep. consider your horn tooted...you'd never survive the road of a true relationship... D) Fourthly, and lastly, the "any ideas?" thing is so distorted it's truly unforgivable and out of order, like you could really reciprocate a true educational response to this....you can't really be honest of this question??? Again, based on your past posts many have read; you should truly be ashamed to even THINK of asking such requests and/or making such inane, rhetorical statements....dude, seriously, mirrors are not just for view, they're also for reflection....you're simply too afraid of what you see...hope some sort of light comes to you in life; cuz life is not what you have shown here on POF!!! Sincerely, Good luck to you!!!

"My question to you is what does honouring the divine within a person mean to you? Do you feel you do that when you are in a relationship with someone?" Honouring the divine means to me, "knowing" without really knowing....as odd as that may read...the wanting, willingness to allow yourself to absorb anothers' insights, thoughts and renditions of what life is all about...and successfully use them within and along with who and what you are...and sometimes possibly want to be. And yes, when in a true relationship, whether it be friend or more, I Do feel it and embrace it with every breath given within.... Just a POV.... great thread!!!

@ Astro...no, I don't feel used as much as just spun is the word for it I suppose... @YAM..."find it odd that when the going has gotten rough for him, he decided to remove her from the equation." good point and that's what I'm saying...just behooved and befuddled...yet I cannot do anything about another and have just decided to count this experience as one of many to come in life and learn from it's trial and tribulation. I don't "hate" this person for doing this, I just feel there could've been a better way to end the "relationship" than the way he did. All one can do is keep a chin up and move forward...

WTF happened???? My POF friends...come to light...help me understand... Posted: 11/1/2005 2:05:14 AM
I met someone recently....@ 2 months ago....we've been hitting it off....now he's lost his job due to a broken arm he encumbered because of some stupid azz in a bar .... Yet, 5 days ago, he breaks up stating, wants to be "alone", wants no one around....yet I walk in for a casual drink tonight and find him with some girl talkin' like there's a future...then even later (as I don't encounter and/or bother either, as "we" are known there) he invites me over just to confirm his "statements" to her and to find it totally backfires....she states...he just wont' stop talking @ YOU.... I'm so unclear as to what this really means???? I don't give of myself on a regular basis (those very few here know this of me) therefore, was a lot for me to give what I did. He states I have done EVERTHING for him ; more than a friend would EVER do and would do ANYTHING for him and he recognizes but cannot accept...yet I find him with this "person" who even states to me.....know I could never be like you....I, at this point, asked to talk to him...his response; I care about you....but just can't..... WTF??? comes to mind firstly...and secondly....ok....WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last thing he saw and got was, me looking straight into his eyes and said, "is this truly what you want as this WILL BE the last time YOU are EVER this close to me....and he paused, looked in every other direction and then at me....and stated YES. I then stated, then IT will be.... I heard him calling after me as I walked away....and I simply kept on walking..... And here I am now....for my friends of POF ...for answers????? I think..... Pls...your assistance in this crazy chit!!!! sincerely, dumbfounded.....

a strong woman Posted: 10/18/2005 9:31:15 PM
"A strong woman intimidates a lot of men. Women see being strong as being independent, self-sufficient, someone who knows what she wants and who’s unwilling to settle for less... someone with clear boundaries firmly in place. Most men recognise those qualities, but also experience it as being controlling, unwilling (or unable) to admit she’s wrong or that there are other equally valid ways of looking at life... someone who maybe plays minds games, and plays them well." OT: a very strong and yet a true statement....regarding....some...as many have stated in above posts, it's not always about being pushy. Reserved or hidden agendas....just grounded. Some actually are those...what's bad is when one "acts" as if she is, when she truly is not. I feel, a man will truly recognize, trust and appreciate a true "strong woman." Just a POV...

Sorry to read of your breakup....trust issues; over normal things such as your free time and hangin' with your friends = definite problems...which will grow to others in the long run.
