Both. Respect first. Love follows respect.

Name the number one thing keeping you single..

This sounds like a bunch of feminist bs.

Anyone who thinks it's harder for either of the genders is a little delusional.

I can't believe women are still pulling the whole "he got me pregnant and left me!" bs. I don't know a lot about the birds and the bees, but as far as I know a woman has to open her legs to get pregnant. I doubt she was complaining too much when the act happened. It's not cool to play the victim after.

Maybe women need to get over themselves, and realize that men are not the root of all evil.


My point was hardly feminist bull sh!t. Also, women don't "pull" something like "he got me pregnant and left me". It's many women's REALITY. In actuality, my point was to show the poster I responded to that men do not have the cornerstone on having been hurt or being shy. We all have been hurt.

Personally, I'm merely tired of being the one making the effort to contact men. It would be nice to see men make their interest known in ways other than stalking my profile. That action in itself is not "shy".

And your comments do not come across as grumpy so much as uncompassionate.

Oh, puh-leeeze! ! !


women don't keep in mind that a lot of guys are shy and it would help if they put in a little effort to get to know the gentleman. As you said, Paul, a lot of us have been burned a few times in the dating wars to that makes one a little more reluctant to plunge into the fire one more time


You talk as though women have not been hurt or are shy. Women have been as hurt as men, some even more so. Think of all the girls who have been left pregnant by some guy who refused to take responsibility for his actions, for example. How easy do you men think it is for someone in that predicament to find work, get her life together and thenfind a man worthy of her trust. In addition, women are just as shy as men and have more reasons to be self-conscious with all the judgements and expectations heaped on us! I have to break free of my shyness to make an effort and if I can make the effort to overcome debilitating self-consciousness, so can some man who deems himself "shy". Women make much more of an effort than men do. Just look at the number of favourites lists you men are on. Men don't make nearly enough effort to find what they're looking for. You expect us women to come to you. On virtually every man's profile they say, "Drop me a line" "Email me" or otherwise ask women to contact them. Using the women should contact us because we're so hurt" card seems more like lack of self-esteem. You're really only making excuses not to make an effort, by the sounds of it. Get over yourselves!

Suggestion - Pics on Profiles
Posted: 6/4/2008 5:46:57 PM
I strongly disagree with the notion that others should be able to see who my favourites are. Even though I have nothing to hide and am proud of the friends I've made on this site, those on my favourites list are my business. Like the moderator says, that would purely and simply be invasion of privacy. Also, it could invite and exacerbate problems like obsessive compulsive behaviour and stalking. What are you thinking?

How does a woman show she likes herself?

I disagree and agree with message #2. I would ask to see his cell phone, hand it to him, then tell him to call one of the women he's talking about before walking out on him.

Bush gives stimulus package to protect Mexican south border
Posted: 2/12/2008 2:02:07 PM
What do you all think will happen next with this? Are these grounds for Bush's impeachment? It looks like a huge issue:
