How did you learn to cook? Posted: 11/29/2007 5:46:59 PM
Out of desperation! My mom couldn't really make anything other than green bean casserole, and chocolate chip cookies. Anything else and you were risking your life! So rather than heating up tv dinners in the microwave I started cooking and never really stopped.

Bartending 101 Posted: 11/29/2007 5:34:48 PM
1 shot drunk! Terminator 1/2 shot bacardi 151 1/2 shot everclear(some areas may not be able to find) 1 drop of grenadine the grenadine sinks to bottom, and when you look down into it, looks like the terminators eye. Seriously, do not have more than one of these with lots of water and don't drive, the everclear will sneak up on you.

Insults or helpful suggestions? Posted: 11/29/2007 5:24:50 PM
I think it depends on the person giving you the feedback. If they are someone who is comfortable around you then, I would take it as they are telling you what they would prefer. You said you cooked dinner for somone, not for you and shared it. Everyone tastes things different, if that someone is comfortable enough to be honest with you about what they like, it is a good thing. And the whole point was you were trying to make something they would enjoy. If they are someone who does not know you that well like a friends date for a dinner party who is giving you feedback like that they are just being self centered.

Does it bother you to be watched? Posted: 11/29/2007 5:19:14 PM
I don't mind being watched, and as lond as I am not on a time crunch to get food done don't mind if they help either.

Something more than sauteed mushrooms Posted: 11/29/2007 5:08:37 PM
Try this Fire up your grill and get it at about medium heat or medium high. Buy 2 dozen medium to large mushrooms, cilantro, blue cheese, garlic, red wine and have some olive oil and pepper on hand Wash and stem the shrooms, keep the stems, put the caps in a ziplock with enough red wine to marinate them. Do what you will with the rest of the wine. finely dice the stems, 4 tbsp cilantro and 2 tbsp garlic. crumble about half a cup of blue cheese into a bowl. in a saute pan lightly brown the garlic with just enough oil to barely cover bottom of pan, then add the stems and saute til the are browned about 3 to 5 minutes, add cilantro and turn off the heat and add pepper (use as much as u like DO NOT ADD SALT). mix well. add to the blue cheese when cool mix well again. put mushrooms on grill stem side down for about 4 minutes with grill closed. then flip and fill cavities of shrooms with blue cheese mixture and go for another 4 minutes with grill closed. Remove from grill and serve, if you have any wine wine left it will go well with them! Let me know if you try this, any one I have made these for has loved them unless they don't like blue cheese, in which case I use grated parmesean.

Okay Guys, What am I Missing???? Posted: 8/1/2007 12:26:54 AM
The guy was palying you. He lives an hour away right. He is looking around and found someone else he is messing with, and more than likely they are on his my space. Wondering who you are. She might have even been there with him when he wrote the email. I can 't speak for every man but you don't go after the twins in public unless you are drunk or you know it is acceptable with the woman you are with. If you do you are being a little desperate for a man. Best thing you can do if you are interested in this guy is keep being nice to him, but set up a meeting and call let him know you can't make it (after he has been waiting a while) and don't show up. See what his response is. If he lets it go with out a thought because you had something that was important that came up. That is a good thing. If you bruised his ego and he keeps harping on it. You have got a man who is more concerned with himself than you!

Will a man really take a woman's profile seriously if she wears skimpy clothes in her photos? Posted: 8/1/2007 12:16:32 AM
If a man is emailing you because of your boobs you don't want him.

How do we get a woman answer an Email? Posted: 8/1/2007 12:00:43 AM
I send out email to women I would like to learn more aout. I am not talking about two or three words. But a legitimate email where I actually let them know I have read their post and not just oogled their picture. I mention things to either challenge them or give them something to reply to me about. Etc. Etc. is it just all about the looks on the picture for us for you to reply? Seems that way. I have read many profile where the woman is looking for the personality, drive, sensitivity, etc. in a man not looks. Yet when emailed read within 48 hours, yet no reply in two weeks. I have read a post a woman decides if she wants to know a man with in 30 seconds of meeting him. Is it the same way for email and if not we are not deserving of thanks for the email but "insert truth or excuse here" reply? Again I get it if we are sending you "U R Hot wanna chat?" or something. But I am talking about real men with real brains that are here looking for real relationships. Anyone female with an opinion on this????

What to say without being a jerk? Posted: 7/28/2007 9:20:51 PM
Hello, I am looking for some feed back on how to meet an attractive, normal, sane, sweet, caring woman. I was going into Starbuck's the other day and the woman in front of me held the door open and waited for me to come in. I said thank you as I looked at her and then realized she was beautiful. Then I did not know what to say and the opportunity was gone. I went over in my head for the rest of the day things I could have said and all of them sounded cheesy. Now please understand I consider myself to be a handsome, confident, funny, healthy, fit, and caring man with a touch of sarcasm. I run a sales company and lead and motivate a team of sales people every day I go to work. I am not afraid to speak in public to a group of people. Come to think of it aside from talking to an attractive woman who I would like to get to know there is not much that scares me. The last thing I want is for the woman I try to talk to, to think I am a desperate man and saw a polite gesture and am now hitting on her. If the tables were turned and some woman started asking me out after I opened the door for her I would wonder how many men she asks out and might get the entirely wrong idea of her. I am sure many great guys who decide to talk to a woman never get a chance because she gets the wrong impression. So the question is how do we talk to you to try to get to know you with out coming off as desperate, intrusive, or an a$$? Do we try to talk to you when you are with a group of friends or are we intruding? And is there a good place to actually talk to you other than a bar/club where everyone is drinking? I am on here so I can be anonymous to anyone that I may work with, and for the vast array of people on here. I have gone on a few dates from women on here but none of them led to anything. And by that I mean a possibility for a longer term type of relationship. If by chance the woman I seek is reading this, please reply. But to the rest of the women that took the time to read this please answer the above questions and help a genuine nice guy out.
