When a woman asks for a ciggerette
Posted:

well, asking for a cigarette or lighter.. whether or not they're breaking the ice isn't really a concern as much as, is it an opportunity for you to break the ice?

why do most white guy, there open 2 race,but if your not white or latina then there not interested??
Posted:
5/14/2008 10:53:38 AM
op: maybe, the other person just didn't like you for some reason, ever think of that one? believe it or not, there are men out there that will shoot down supermodels because guess what, that woman's personality sucks.. true story, I've even seen it.
besides that, people just like what they like. how about you stop worrying about what people think, find someone that makes you happy, and you them, and like.. not worry about it, or are you into blaming others for your lot in life?

Whatever happened to making out?
Posted:
5/14/2008 10:40:19 AM
No idea what happened to it either for a lot of people, and a number of g/f's i've had were all like.. er.. wait, you don't want to just hop right in the sack? then when they figured out that no it wasn't a rejection or i was making up my mind as to if there were worth having sex with (her words, not mine.. wierd), etc then it was like rarrrr gimme.
dunno, thats like half the fun it seems like.

Forgotten
Posted:
5/14/2008 10:36:02 AM
nah, I have to agree there, It happened once to me too, I'm almost ashamed to admit. Same person, same pictures, probably 5 months after we decided it didn't work out, but at the time I was using the shotgun version of dating.. no no actual shotgun, just going on dates with tons of people and seeing what shakes out. Even dating a few at once because nothing went on that would put us into the exclusive zone. so among the crush of faces, people etc.. yeah forgot about 'em.
Luckily, we both had the sense of humor to laugh it off, exchange pleasantries carry on.

Does Friends first ever really work?
Posted:
5/14/2008 10:27:57 AM
In my experience, and observations, really, the friends first mostly only works in the mind of most women, or, they're not articulating what they mean precisely enough (communications gap).
Here's some general differences.. and i do mean really general(ized) ... In any non romantic (read: SEX!) relationship, A guys interest for a woman will drop considerably over time in regards to a romantic relationship and all the stuff besides sex that comes with it. A woman's interest may tend to grow, but it just as likely to end up in a relationship where there was a big spark and they just went for it.
Yeah, its in some of those dating books, but I've seen it as true.. if a woman sees someone as a long term prospect, they'll hold off on sex, but they're also more likely to get into a relationship with someone they're already getting it on with.
What does it boil down to? Stop fooling yourself about friends first, or at least realize it doe shave to be more than "just friends". While that doesn't have to include sex, some obvious hints of attraction, or that this can be going somewhere are needed, and basically required. Yeah, there will be a bunch of guys that will just follow a woman around, and effectively just simper and whine until they get rejected for a date enough, then usually storm off after enough pain and disappear. They lack the self confidence to say "that doesn't work for me' in the first place, as well as being needy to the point of screaming "I did all this for you now why wont you love me!?!??!1!!11".. mostly because the guy has emasculated himself enough to be one of the womans 'girlfriends' and now thats just what he is.
seen it happen way too many times. ladies, pipe up here and let me know if what i'm seeing is right here. Look at all those failed friends first deals and see if thats not just whats happening a majority of the time.
To be fair, my last relationship started as friends first, but it happened more than was stated. about 2 dates in, a lot of stuff happened, and she simply said, I want to date you, I just can't right now, I have too much going on in my life, but I like you and want to hang out with you and spend some time together when we can. there was flirting back and forth all the time, a it more than a friendly peck on the lips here, and a but grab there, etc.. finally, we were working on some of those things that were an obstacle and were like, woot, we're done. lets go celebrate, and got totally schnockered, ate, had fun, blew off a bunch of steam and then when getting ready to head home, more or less got tackled and er.. mutually let off about 4 months of built up sexual tension. So afterwards, I look over and jokingly say in my best surfer imitation 'so uh like, does this like mean we're dating?' , and she deadpanned back to me "yep, right after we fix the holes in the walls, the bed and night stand we busted up tonight". we looked at each other for a minute and burst out laughing and we hit it off from there.
how did it work? we knew where it was going, but set and accepted that the 'intro' period was just going to be really long and slow. There wasn't that "inequality of desire" that busts up so many starting relationships. since the lack of feeling on one side will quickly frustrate both people and things fall apart.
Of course, maybe I'm also just patient as hell for the right thing,, as long as theres true hope in sight

Last time you were in a relationship
Posted:
5/14/2008 9:57:15 AM
This might sound weird, but I'll out it out there anyway, I haven't counted how long I've not been in a relationship for awhile. I was in a relationship for over 10 years until it stopped, rather dramatically, and such. 2 bad relationships after that made me realize I had to get good with myself again, heal and all that. Once I got to that point, I realized I wasn't counting how long I've been single, or not in a relationship or whatnot. I'm assuming of course, you're talking about a romantic relationship with a partner, of course. I realized that while I would like to form another great one with a person, I don't need one really. I'm happy with myself and where I am and the life I have and things I do fulfill me rather well. Having a person there with me is more like icing on the cake. I just don't see not being in a relationship as negative, nor do I focus on it. really.
Some do and that's just their thing, I figure they just like counting things.

Mensa? anyone?
Posted:
3/12/2008 7:05:14 PM
I've actually met one or two people through the meetings. Its kind of like being at a bar with no alcohol, but at least you have one thing in common so far, in that you know the other person isn't as dumb as a box of hammers.. usually. But yes, ego's abound, but mostly in the men who are insecure about other things (read: corvette drivers)

would you date a stripper?
Posted:
1/20/2008 12:44:19 PM
I don't have a real problem with it, but then again I'm dating one now. There is quite a bit of checking I normally do though since I used to know a fe win my past, and while some were great people who just needed a job and could do it, others were.. um yeah.. thats all they were good for was putting themselves on display.
I agree with the poster above me that said that the one im seeing is really cool and hasn't played all those games people do, nor made me feel like i had to prove something, or whatnot. Then again, given the stigma people put on these types, I would guess that someone who can accept a person for who they are, over what they do is something valuable.
Then again, I've met some that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, on the other hand, I've met some accountants and librarians that were the same way for the same reasons. Still never been to a strip club though. This one says she wants me to come over and see her do her thing. Should be... interesting. lol

Wow, someone's loud, obnoxious and opinionated.. Wow buddy, decaf, anger management and basic computer literacy class and you'll be fine, or are you just looking for some attention?
As for the OP. Tough call on the responses. Most people here are actual people as far as I know although the quality differs, obviously. Main thing to ask yourself, are you talking to them, taking at them, or actually trying to engage them in conversation?

oyster sauce is one of those wonderfully versatile things when it comes to meats especially. haven't tried it on chicken, but it works wonders on enhancing the flavor or beef and pork of all types. notice i said enhance, not cover up with a new flavor.
but yeah, watch teh salt content, whoa mama

It's over a year now. I still think about her all the time.

For th eOP
Looking at your writing here, I have to ask, at what point have you given yourself time for your mind to actually confront what has happened and come to terms with it? From what you're saying, it would seem the answer is little to none. We've all done this at som epoint and some have been hit harder than others by it. Some are still waiting their turn, an dth erest hope they never get a chance to experience it.
It seems that all you've done is kept yourself busy to the point where you're more running from your problem than confront it. in fact, you seem to scream it from the rooftops.
Depending on the relationship and such, will you ever stop thinking about her? maybe, maybe not. But given actual healing time, the frequency and intensity of it fades, as doe sits mpact on you. Given the proper healing time, of course, of which, its up to you and it'll suck for a while.
all you've really done so far, is go on your own version of a drinking bender. Stop running and confront it. The good days start to outnumber the bad ones... in time.

Dating Someone With A High IQ
Posted:
11/16/2007 6:11:01 PM
IQ is one of those measures thats more of how you know vs what you know. I have been measured a number of times and my IQ really tends to top the charts. Yes, I absorb things like a sponge, I pick up on a lot of things people don't and I can be much more creative than most. Thats just part of the job.
Personally, I'd rather pick wisdom many times.
Interestingly enough, thats actually a good pairing. some of my best friends, and those who really 'got me' weren't really the most intelligent at times, but very very wise. we worked famously together.
Two extremely smart people together. its really hit or miss and usually miss. Ego and sometimes that natural competitive spirit gets in the way.
Really, as long as they have enough to hold up a conversation and they don't have a need to wear their brain on their sleeve so to speak, is there really that much of a difference?
Smarts don't usually equal brains.

op: yeah, people like that do exist, and they sometimes even find each other. its easy to be all that on one package, you just have to realize levels. one mans stunner is another's dog. and so on and so on, you get the idea.
it was said before in this thread and its definitely true. If you aim low, you land low. Anyone can aim high, some can actually put the effort into it, sometimes it works, sometimes, you just end up higher than the rest.

Chivalry wanted, dead or alive!
Posted:
11/13/2007 1:50:22 PM
For the most part, you get it when you earn it, or actually show that you appreciate it AND also return the favor. At least in my world.
I came from the kind of place where if someone needs a hand with a door, you help them out. If you're just ahead of someone, you chuck out an arm and hold the door open that extra second so they can grab it and not have it slam out o f their reach. Thats just basic courtesy. But hey, its something thats returned.
Want more, earn it, don't expect it, appreciate it and return it, or you're getting no more.
thats likely a reason its dead or dying. some just expect it because they're women and thusly apparently deserve it, while still being rather much a bi*** in general. yeah, doesn't encourage the spread of being nice, does it? yes it happens all over the place, which is why th e polite people and just generally nice people tend to stand out easily.

love yourself more
Posted:
11/7/2007 5:13:41 PM
for the OP:
First off, congratulations on taking the first step. Actually acknowledging that theres is a problem and questioning if its you is one of the first step to fixing things.
First thing you should do is stop, pause, take a break and relax. No really, just get away from it all for at least a weekend. Give yourself a little time to recoup.
If you want to know how to avoid thos ebad situations again, go back in your mind and start to revisit those bad situations from before. get out a pen and paper and start writing down the things that got you into those situations, what attracted you and such. Also really and critically look at what made you not get out of them when you should have, what did you see or not see and why.
Look to see if theres a trend, or weak spot. Realize that people make mistakes, and thats human, repeatedly making the same mistake over and over without trying to fix it is the real sin.
After that, just remember, if you screwed up, before you can love yourself, you have to gain teh ability to forgive yourself of your mistakes.

To Shave or Not to Shave...... (Your Head) lol
Posted:
10/30/2007 9:18:04 PM
I still remember the first week when I shaved my head. Oh man that was a period of adjustment. I use to have hair to my waist. So if I did a qick turn, I tended to faceplant myself. I think I was used to the weight of all that hair helping my balance. and walking and feeling the wind swirl on the back of my head and neck was just eerie, then it became pretty cool.
But yes, definitetly a savings on shampoo. haha go from a bottle every 2 weeks to a tub a turtle wax a year ;)

Fat Flushing soup diet.
Posted:
10/30/2007 12:12:32 AM
I'm surprised people still try to follow 'diets' like these.
First and foremost, especially as a nurse, you know that losing more than 2 lbs a week is not all that healthy, and also if you're lucky, 2 lbs of that at most will be fat. The rest is muscle and water loss. Judging from the gross imbalance of nutrients here, I'd say you're wasting muscle at an alarming rate be eating on this plan.
Once you rehydrate after this, most of that weight will be back.

My fries suck . . . .
Posted:
10/30/2007 12:03:09 AM
Theres a few things to do and also to look out for when making fries.
Yes, everyone is right, double frying is king
Soaking in water is a double edged sword. it leeches out a good bit of teh starch and potato flavor, the up side is it waterlogs teh spuds, so the steam internalls and you get crispy outside, fluffy inside.
oil - hot as you can get it
spuds - you want a nice solid dense and heavy spud.
now the biggest mistake people make is trying to cook too much at once.
You can have that oil boiling, and if you drop too many spuds in there, they're still going to come out soggy and oily becuase the oil temperature drops rapidly due to lack of volume. Do multiple smaller batches, and you'll get better results, and the batches cook faster.
I've heard of some people taking the water their spuds were soaking in and boiling it down to reduce the water content a lot, and then dipping the once cooked fries in the starch mixture it leaves behind and then going for the second frying. Gives is a nice flavorful crust ind of like burger king.

I know I didn't make any money as a male stripper, but I made tons being a reverse stripper. Yep, I'd walk out on stage butt naked, and women would throw money at me and scream "dang boy, put it back on!"

RR's Summer Salad
Posted:
10/24/2007 9:52:05 AM
Yeah, summer is almost over, but never know when the next heatwave might hit.
I tend to make this as a staple in hotter weather and just scoop some out as needed.
I like the combination of the sweet, sour, tart, tangy and such. On its own, its just a nice light & cooling salad. Add a yogurt and you got a decent summer lunch.
This came out of one of my experiments. Ingredient choices seem odd, but they work. I swear I wasn't stoned when I made this.
Love me for my ever so scientific measuring.
Base recipe:
1 Bag Rainbow Salad (shredded hearts of broccoli and cauliflower, shredded carrots and red cabbage)
2 Gala Apples - Cut into 1/2" cubes
2 medium-large cucumber - cut into 1/2" cubes
1 small sweet yellow onion - chopped coarse
2-3 Sticks celery, chopped
1 good double handful of grapes, sliced in half
1 Handful chopped walnuts
1/2 handful cashew pieces
(optional) 1 cup fresh pineapple, in 1/2" cubes (notice a pattern?)
2 tblsp lemon juice
combine all ingredients in bowl , toss well. lemon juice keeps apples from going brown when stored.
Dressing:
I prefer a tartish kind of dressing, since it plays with the various flavors in this salad.
I use:
3 parts apple cider vinegar
1 part balsamic vinegar
1 part sweet rice wine vinegar
1 part lemon juice (that stuff from the plastic lemon is fine)
1 teaspoon sugar
Blend well, chill
I usually bottle this stuff in small jars and throw it in my bag for lunch with a container of this salad.

I am noticing a trend in women over 30
Posted:
10/24/2007 8:58:39 AM
just something I've noticed in the past 6 months. Oddly, after I did some personal discovery and improvement on myself.
I usually say some of the older male/younger female that was within 5-7 years many times as a maturity factor, and one of those dynamics that 'just work' .. darn, I was hoping I just seemed that much more mature now.

Why don't P.O.F. Forum users just date each other?
Posted:
10/22/2007 2:27:34 PM
OP: how do you know they're not all dating each other?
I've only been here a short time but I've talked to a number of people in emails from this forum. I do think that some of them, I just want to rob a bank, buy an island and move us all there and live happily ever after, and the rest really have shown me just much most of the people here just are here for a crying shoulder, or to pander to others for attention.
The cool part is, half the emails i've gotten were for some of my more. er.. non-pc posts
The person who sent me an award for dirtiest comeback ever is still tops in my book. Shes a nutcase I'd marry in a heartbeat if she ever lived in the US, and was into guys. hahaha

Don't you just "love it" when some men bash themselves just to get noticed by women? Isn't it remarkable that so many women "fall" right for it and feel better about themselves in the process?....
Wow, smugness on the internet from overly sensitive people with little to no sense of humor, what a novelty.

How to annoy a wiccan

The original joke is so old its gathering dust.
For those that comment on it being degrading and so on.. well, You'll never realize that the joke is actually about you, and those in general that take their religion waaaaaaay too seriously.
As for me, that list is still hillarious, since I know people that are just that touchy.

RR's Fried Kraut
Posted:
10/22/2007 12:29:54 PM
Yeah, nothing beats home made.
I make a batch or two every year, takes a while to do it right though. About 3-4 weeks for good real kraut. Depends on how you like it. The salt is an unavoidable part of the fermentation process though.
To fight some of the sodium, rinse the kraut in water before cooking, or to fake it, go with a pickled cabbage, which I think is the bobby flay method.

RR's Fried Kraut
Posted:
10/22/2007 9:57:47 AM
Old family recipe
I've used this dish to *laughs* convert almost everyone I know to kraut.
Many said they hate kraut, now they're all confirmed kraut munchers.
Ingredients:
Large jar or bag of Franks bavarian or polish style kraut
1 -2 tblsp caraway seeds (extra) to taste
brown sugar, loose
1 large yellow onion, chopped medium
black pepper
apple cider vinegar
2 large russet potatoes or equivalent amount of your personal favorite. I prefer reds.
1 large link of smoked or polish sausage.
1-2 cans kraut juice (if possible)
1 can cheap beer
drain the kraut as much as possible, reserve the juice. Squeeze it good.
Following things you'll be doing all at once and letting them cook
1- cut up spuds into bite sized chunks. put in bowl, add half reserved kraut juice. if you got a can of kraut juice extra, add that in until spuds are covered. otherwise, just cover with water and some apple cider vinegar. Throw in microwave for 10-15 minutes or so until done.
2 - heat up a medium skillet (I use cast iron) and put in sausage, but into bite sized chunks. Add the beer, and get the sausages hot, and browned if possible. add extra liquid as needed so beer doesn't burn to pan.
3 - In large skillet (Cast iron for me again) over medium heat put in some oil to coat, then add squeezed kraut. brown sugar (enough to make it light golden brown), caraway seeds, onion and pepper. toss together well and let the kraut get good and hot. It should become fragrant at this point too. Kraut should still have some texture and body to it.
Turn over once.
Spuds and sausage should be done by now. Drain spuds and toss in with kraut
Sausage should be good, add that to kraut and any remaining beer mixture.
toss lightly. continue to heat for a minute or two
add remaining kraut juice.
add apple cider vinegar as well to taste (adjust for tartness desired).
Serve with some good rye bread, and maybe some sliced beets. good stuff.

My biggest strength and weakness are one in the same.
My 'can do' attitude.

Is it just me, or do we all keep saying Next time it is going to be different?

I just look at each thing and see what I can learn from it.
What have I learned thats the most powerful of all?
I stopped changing, improving, etc myself to get better relationships with others.
I started changing, improving, etc to get a better relationship with me.
Its helped me find a lot more people and many of much better quality than what I was finding before. In the end, I didn't care, I was happier with myself, and thats what mattered.

What was the nicest thing anyone ever did for you?
Posted:
10/22/2007 8:48:19 AM
I have to laugh about it, since it was actually the ex I had the worst breakup with, and it was during our breakup.
Long convoluted story but in a nutshell, I was devestated and not taking it well, we were living together, but a big bag of crazy all around. She needed time by herself but didn't want to go out so she ended up getting a hold of someone I knew online (argues on forums constantly lol) and asked him to get me out of the house for awhile, etc. surprisingly, he did.
We ended up at some rat-hole of a bar the rest of the night just talking, shooting the bull and actually, launching the seed of our current business venture. Yeah, basically, she unknowingly introduced me to by best friend and also business partner.
Didn't mean it that way, I know, but ended up being the nicest thing done for me.

Is the word yuppie outdated
Posted:

Die yuppie scum.
Yep, yuppie is still in use, but some use other terms or something more specific since theres so many kinds now. They're still around, they're still scumbags, but they're still just so darn amusing to watch.

Sex part of the screening process??

Yeah, I think its important, just maybe not as important as some make it to be for their own outlook.
But yeah, its another facet of a relationship. Things break down there, many times, the rest starts to follow

Would this intimidate you
Posted:
10/21/2007 6:37:32 PM
I'd more than likely think "cool, maybe I can get some pointers" or "someone must take good care of themselves"
i can see how some men can be intiidated by that tho, they're also the ones who get intimidated by a woman having anything more than them.

question about interracial dating ...
Posted:
10/21/2007 6:35:59 PM
Some people are prejudiced, others just are attracted to certain features over others. Those features happen to be of teh same race.
The real questions come to be: What's it to you? as well as ... all these who judge others biased on their preferences in attractiveness being of the same race, are they being just as prejudiced as well?

usually, no pic, or just a head shot at a weird angle + body type = prefer not to say usually means its a whale of a person, and no picture? I just figure it looks like godzilla with breasts.
Most of the rest works out nicely after that, including the neurotic and paranoid types who want to always claim substance over looks or they're famous and don't want to be seen on on a datigng site.

Would listing my standards be bitchy?
Posted:

Sometimes, it really depends on the list. Yeha, if you're only looking for one certain type of person, then yes, its usually shallow and such, if its just weeding out some of the weak (please be independent of your parents, self supporting, most of your teeth, not racist, etc) then thats fine and normal.
of course, usual rule, if you have to ask.....
and same as the advice before, put yourself in that person's shoes. Would they want to contact that you?
