Perhaps someone on this thread could tell me . . . are there any good free sites to do international background checks?

Why Would an Adult do This to a Child?

I am really sorry for what happened to you dear. Don't let your life go to hell because of that son of a ****. Get counselling, be strong, and try to make a good life for yourself. You deserve a good life.

Are single parents marketable ??
Posted:
12/27/2007 8:56:37 AM
[This tells me several things: 1) they are selfish; 2) they are insecure; 3) they are looking to me for their happiness; 4) run little doggy run!!!
Good parents make great partners. They have already learned that truly loving someone is a selfless act... I have found very few childless people that understand that concept. /]
Aprincelyfrog -- thank you for your words above -- my feelings exactly, and, I am really glad that a man said it!
I get passed over a lot because I have a child -- oh well, HIS LOSS.

finding it hard to find someone on here
Posted:
11/24/2007 2:03:53 PM
Hey sincereman7 - its not you. I think it is on-line dating. It is really strange . . . I have never before in my life had a problem getting a date (meeting someone). On this site I can barely get anyone to even answer my email. I have read a couple of other threads where people said that they have better luck (meeting someone) when out shopping. I may try that -- soon. lol Your pic is good, you are attractive enough, maybe try the age thing -- how about 35-45. My ex is 7 years younger than I am. Sometimes a woman a few years older is just the thing. Good luck.

Situation needing advice.... Please.
Posted:

I agree with rune3. I know a woman whose dad remaried when she was about 11. The new wife was the step-mother from hell. All she did was totally alienate the father and his children (my friend had 2 brothers as well). It was far to hard on my friend to be around this new wife. She was mean to my friend and really caused a lot of emotional trauma. Now that my friend is grown up, she wishes that she didn't have to be around that awful woman. Protect your child from her. Find another way that your ex and daughter can spend time together. Hopefully your ex will be cooperative. I don't know why men allow other women to treat their children so poorly. Good luck.

People who are unsuccessful at getting dates
Posted:
11/22/2007 6:23:59 AM
...."Is it THEM, or is it ME?"
OP: Firstly, your profile says that you are here for the forums. If you are here to date, you should write a profile. (and even post a picture)
Second, I met a guy for the first time on the weekend. He told me that he has been stood up a few times. He is a really nice guy, and I could see no reason whatsoever to stand him up -- so I doubt it was "him" who scared them off. There are lots of fish in the sea, just keep trying, you're bound to "land" something some day.

Immunize or Go to Jail
Posted:
11/19/2007 3:07:35 PM
Chatter box: Hep B is sex; IV drug use is Hep C - vaccine has not been developed yet for Hep C; Hep A is contaminated food or drink.
Here in Ontario it is up to the parents whether or not to vaccinate their children. There usually isn't a problem with illness outbreaks, as since most of children ARE vaccinated. The ones who are not vaccinated, are protected by "herd immunity" (they are protected because the majority are vaccinated). However, the parents who are against vaccination, are required to sign papers that are filed with their local Public Health department. If a vaccine preventable disease does surface, ie. measles - the children who are NOT vaccinated MUST stay at home until Public Health declares it safe to return to school.
I didn't believe in vaccicnation until I worked in the Communicable Disease/Vaccine Preventable department at Public Health. The more you learn, the more sense it makes to have your children (and yourself) vaccinated. As someone else has already mentioned, small pox has been erradicated because of vaccine. Take a look at a picture of a child in the 1930's or 1940's in an iron lung because they have polio. These diseases are not to be ignored, they are serious and can ruin your child's life -- that is, if your child survives some of them. Education (and history) are the key to making an informed choice . History has proved vaccination really does make a difference -- like it or not.
Some people I used to work with thought that it was child abuse to deny your child the protection of a vaccine. Here in Ontario they are now immunizing for menningitis. My child was one of the fist in line. Have you ever seen anyone with menningitis? Many die, however most that live are affected for the rest of their lives. I have a friend who survived -- he was left blind. Kids love to share things with their friends, expecially teenagers. Something simple like sharing a cigarette, or a can of pop could mean the end of their life. I won't take that chance with my daughter's life.

Dating East Indian Men
Posted:
11/19/2007 1:26:28 PM
But you see the problem with that is then these women might be perceived to be racist or narrow minded by men of their own race and they would not be interested in these women. Thus, this sort of women want to hide their narrow mindedness and show to the whole world what an "accepting" sort of person they are when truly they are far from it.
In most case, such as mine, it is not narrow mindedness - it is fear. I will tell you a little story about narrow mindedness (maybe even prejudice). Last year my girlfriend's 13 year old son was friends with an East Indian girl his age at school. She really had a crush on him and used to call him every night. After a month or so, the girl's older brother lured my friend's boy to a park and beat him up quite badly. The brother told my friend's boy that he was not to talk to his sister again, his family forbid it. Kids were not even allowed to be special friends. You see, here the shoe is on the other foot.

Dating East Indian Men
Posted:

As mentioned by some of you above - - there is this taboo with East Indian men that they are narrow minded or that their views towards women are not in par with Western/American standards. I think that this is completely unfair because for those of us (like myself) who have lived here for the most part of our lives, our views are very open minded (perhaps even more open minded than most Caucasian or African American men).
Speaking for myself, I am afraid to date an East Indian man, or a man from the Middle East. Even being brought up in the western world, your family would still have instilled in you, your own culture and values, wouldn't they? I want to be an equal in a relationship, respected, and valued. Getting involved with someone from such a different culture is taking a big chance.

Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted:
11/18/2007 3:11:26 PM
Last night I met a guy for a coffee at Tim Hortons. He did have a pic posted, however he looked nothing like it. Heis profile said he was 49, but he looked more like 65. When I got out of my car he got out of his. Right in the middle of the parking lot he roughly grabbed me by both sides of my open ski jacket, and wouldn't let go. A couple sitting in the window were watching the whole thing, so I didn't freak out, as I knew by the look on their faces, that I had help if needed. As I didn't want my new jacket ripped, I asked him to go inside and had a coffee with me. He was nothing but a dirty old man. It was the most awful experience I have ever had. After awhile, I managed to politely get away. So, even if the person does have a pic, you don't always know who you are meeting. Be careful ladies -- I'm still shaking.

Just a phone call, can't be that bad can it?

[quoteAlot of them are paranoid, some for very good reason, other are just wishful thinkers. It is a good way to weed out the ones that will waste your time, be greatful they didn't take up anymore of it. Your better to just move on, let them suggest it, when they are ready to talk, they will. It's a control thing on they're part. They hear stories and immediately think it's going to happen to them. Not that people shouldn't be careful, they should...but,they also have to be willing to feel out the person they are talking to. Either give them more time before asking to talk, or let them go. Their lose, and move on. /quote]
It may be hard for a guy to understand -- women really do want to meet someone, but at the same time I think all of us are a little afraid too. Date rape is more common than men realize. Stalkers are too. Look at Ted Bundy, he was a good looking, nice guy, going to law school . . . you know the rest. Police go into our schools and teach our children about staying away from strangers. Police tell women if their car brakes down on the road, not to open their windows to male strangers. We have been taught (and frightened by) these things our whole lives. We really want to meet someone, but at the same time we are afraid -- try walking a mile in our shoes sometime. It may sound screwed up to you, but this is what today's world done.
When I lived alone in a a rough part of Toronto, I walked up the street to the corner store at 8:00 pm (in the winter & it was dark). The police picked me up and drove me home -- told me not to go out by myself after dark. Hope this may help guys understand a little.

I'm 38 and it's hard finding women my age who I find attractive. When I do a search on here most of the women just look overweight or don't seem to have any sense of style. It just seems like when alot of women get to my age they could care less what they come off as.
OMG - you should check out some (actually lots) of the men in my age group!!!

How do you know when a POF member posts a fake pic?
Posted:
11/16/2007 3:07:51 PM
I think that people who post false pics are really only hurting -- or ruining things for themselves. I met a man earlier this summer who had posted a pic of himself at a much younger age. He was a nice guy and we had coffee, but I wouldn't see him again because things started off with a lie. He still has that same picture posted. Another guy says he has a PhD. The grammar and spelling in his profile are bad. I doubt if he could even write a thesis let alone defend one. Maybe one day they will learn that they are just biting off their own nose to spite their face. Deceipt will ruin things in the long run.

Women over 45 please help
Posted:
11/16/2007 10:20:46 AM
I am in the same position - though my daughter is only just turning 12 (I had her late in life) but I have been thinking of things that I will start doing in years to come, when she is busy with her friends. I think most women go through the same thing. Two friends that I made a point of keeping in touch with both died within 2 months of each other. That was a real blow.
Once every 3 months I get together with 3 of my girlfriends from high school and we go out for dinner, but I'll soon need things to fill in more of my time. There are clubs such as others mentioned, I am interested in animals, so I may involve myself with an animal rescue agency, or maybe just volunteer at the local humane society. Maybe volunteer a few hours somewhere, I find friends can be made almost anywhere, even in the strangest places.
I am far from being a religious person, however there is a very progressive non-denominational church in my city that seems to attract all ages of people. They are situated in a "countrish" part of Guelph and have quite a bit of property on which they have a barn -- so they have barn dances for adults, and events for kids (in the barn) -- rolling watermelons off of the roof (was one thing they did this fall) -- the adults enjoy that too. I have met some fun people there. Maybe Windsor has something similar.
I also like to play volleyball and euchre, I have found out that there are places I can go to join these activities.
Good luck dear, I hope these few suggestions help you.

Email addresses
Posted:
11/15/2007 7:41:44 AM
Since this site has the cability of corresponding (email or IM) with other members, do people here exchange home email addresses right off the bat?
A couple of days ago I received an message from a man who asked if I cared to chat. I responded that, yes, I would like to chat. He sent back asking for my email address. I responded that I preferred to chat on this site for a bit first, as in the past I had a bad experience giving out my home email address. He then wrote back saying that if I received email I didn't want I could just delete them, and basically it should not be a big deal. I responded, asking why it was so important to him to have my home email address right away. He responded "YOU are not important to me". So, -- maybe stupidly, -- I responded that I thought that comment was nasty and not called for all . I just received a response from him saying -- "your face says it all". What the f--k is up with this guy?

Need a man point of view
Posted:
11/15/2007 6:50:05 AM
Crazy things happen to people all of the time. It's not just internet dating. When I moved into my apartment there was a woman, her boyfriend/common law husband and a teenage daughter living across the hall from me. Probably about 14 months after I moved in, the man across the hall got a job out west. He went to work and find a place to live, -- the woman and daughter were to move out there to be with him when the daughter was finished school at the end of June. During the 7 months they were living apart, the man came back twice to visit. The woman gave up her apartment (3 months notice), gave notice at her job, and prepared to move. Two weeks before the move, he called and told her not to come, he had met someone else. Similar things have happened to 2 of my girlfriends. I think it is hard to find someone to trust period.

Profile Drop Down Menus

I would like to know if there is a way to use your own words instead of choosing a predetermined answer in a drop down menu? eg. In the top part of the profile section the question -- "Do you want children" the choices I have to choose from are:
1. Prefer Not to Say
2. Yes
3. No
4. Undecided/Open
I have noticed that some people have "my children are over 18". I do not have that choice. How did you display that? I would like to display "NO, BUT WELCOME YOURS".
Also, could someone tell me -- when I want to "quote" a line or paragraph from someone else, I cut and paste. How do you get the material to display in the 'beige', rectangle?

Wondering how people feel about moving...
Posted:
11/13/2007 10:32:16 AM
I have commuted to a job in Toronto before -- left the house at 6:45 am, would get home about 6:15 pm. Its not that bad. I know people who take the bus to work in Toronto. If the kids are comfortable, leave them where they are. I wouldn't uproot my daughter. And remember, kids do grow up. If they are in the 10 year old range, you only have a few years until they will be out on their own. After that, the 2 of you can live any where you please. Its traumatic enough for kids to have their family split up, do they really have to loose their friends and the school they are comfortable in as well?

Am I alone in thinking this??
Posted:
11/8/2007 4:53:54 PM
Carolinawolfie seems to think that its only the ladies that don't answer. I have emailed men that have never replied.
I am also guilty of not answering emails when I am not interested, as I just don't know what to say. I feel silence is better than hurting someone's feelings.
And to Mr. Dynomite -- (from your profile) I put men on my favorites list without emailing them, as I feel awkward about making the first move, hoping that if they see that I am interested, maybe they will email me. But, as I said, when I do make the first move, I don't get replies anyways.
I have met some nice people on this site, and I am hoping that I will eventually meet my life long partner here.
From the forums I've read here, it seems to be the Americans who are more bitter and dissatisfied with this site than the Canadians. Any thoughts from other Canadians?

What is Canada doing about it's Immigration problem?
Posted:
10/23/2007 11:29:56 AM
Mr. Your Ticket - my first reply was to CharlesEdm regarding LEGAL immigration and the legal immigrants taxing out social system. As the example I gave regarding the family from Ruwanda. (I got the idea he didn't think this was a problem, when in fact I believe it is).
I did not have any intention of arguing with you regarding the ILLEGAL immigrant problem. I believe what you are saying is true -- the gangs, the drugs, the prostitution, and whatever else they can think up. (I'm sure they have a whole network of how to rip off the country they have infiltrated).
By the way -- Windsor is in Ontario.

Well Charles, Whisper (from SW Kansas) has a point, I believe. She mentions that they will tax our social services. AND CANADA IS A SUCKER when it comes to immigrants and social hand outs. You may be too young to remember, but during the early 1990's -- and the genocide in Rwanda -- the family of a powerful Rwandan Warlord was living in London Ontario on WELFARE! That is far from the only case, there are hundreds more right here in Ontario but are not publicized. I hope Canada (Ontario) are not going to give handouts to every hard luck story on their doorstep. Otherwise, I'M GETTING IN LINE.
I've also been hit by an uninsured driver -- we have enough of them now. We don't need more! If immigrants don't want to play by our rules, then they should STAY HOME AND CLEAN UP THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

Everyone always wants to blame it on the "other guy". I think both countries (the US and Canada) need to tighten their belts on immigration, as both countries have problems.
I personally welcome people from other countries, and wish them the very best. However what I do RESENT is when they try to change our way of life. You know the old saying "when in Rome, do as the Romans do", well if they want to live in North America, you are welcome, however DO AS THE NORTH AMERICANS DO.

I have asked, and they don't show up. Or they say that THEY will call, and they don't. I am on more than just this site, and it is very discouraging. On a couple of other sites the only "smiles" or mail I get is from men in their 60's or 70's. I WANT SOMEONE MY OWN AGE. I have messaged several men close to my age on this site and they will not respond. I have been wondering if there is something wrong with me! Why are men on a "dating / relationship" site anyways? What are they looking for?

Why Do People Cheat ?
Posted:
10/13/2007 8:50:48 AM
My best friend had 4 serious (live-in) relationships -- married 3 of them. Her husbands cheated on her, she forgave, they did it again. Her first husband was so shattered when she left. He didn't get over her for years. He blamed me for telling her (the last time he cheated I inadvertantly caught him). After her 3rd failed relationship she moved to New Zealand. Met and married a "wonderful guy". He too cheated. She gave him a second chance and he did it again. Finally, too broken and hurt and no energy left for divorce, division of assets, and all of the other emotional bs, she hung herself. Her ex wrote me a letter to tell me that she was gone, how much he loved her and missed her and that he shouldn't have cheated. That was 10 years ago, I still don't know why people cheat, I don't know if they even know themselves.

You can't always have your cake and eat it too. She is playing with you by coming out of the shower in her underwear, and that is mean. You are only torturing yourself by hanging on. She knows how you feel and the control she has over you is making her feel powerful and she doesn't want to let go of that. She is stringing you along to keep you around for a safety net, -- in case she is dumped and hurting. Find someone else who really does love you. She is **** with a capital B.

Oh well I tried POF. Time to go
Posted:
10/7/2007 8:07:24 PM
I am looking for a loving "serious" relationship. I agree that there are too many (men & women) who are just here to play games, take advantage of who they can, and even have a laugh at others expense. I fell head over heals for a guy I met from POF. He just took advantage of me and then gave me the "brush off". However I'm not giving up. The time I had with him was fun, even if he did break my heart. I know not everyone on here is bad. Chalk it up to a learning experience and turn your bad feelings into compassison for others -- it can be contageous.
Good luck to all.
