Would someone be awesome and review my profile?
Posted: 1/26/2013 2:11:09 AM
Hello.
First thought was your profile main picture. Maybe it is because Im of an older generation but shirtless pics are not good. Picture 3 is your best as you show a bit of a smile, whereas the others are a bit harsh.
I didnt read all of your profile but the very first line has a negative, you live in terrible T, I read a bit more and there is more negative about why you have been single for 3 years and your size.

I would like to see you change it to focus on the positives not the negatives.

Hope that helps :-)

Getting lots of views but no messages!
Posted: 1/26/2013 1:06:43 AM
I don't see anything wrong with your profile. I just read a post asking women how many messages they get and it was from 10 a day to more. Why you dont get the same baffles me.

Do women really recieve that many messages per day?
Posted: 1/25/2013 6:06:30 AM
Lucky these other women getting 10 + messages a day, or maybe not so lucky if the quality is as bad as some say.
I would get maybe 1 msg a month.

Real world Vs Internet profile, would you still date the same person?
Posted: 1/25/2013 5:47:22 AM
I prefer real life. It is likely that when I meet someone in real life for the first time they are polite and respectful. I get very few messages on line and even fewer are interested in talking to me but rather finding out how I groom myself under my clothes.
When I go out and am seen in person, I meet many people, laugh, joke, dance and get a dinner date. Online ,again few will message me and many reject me.
My visits here are mostly just to visit the Forums these days.

is he lying to her
Posted: 1/25/2013 5:33:34 AM
We can give the short answer and say tell your friend to leave, sounds like he is cheating but there is soooo much more to this than a short answer. Its a marriage and your friend must be in terrible pain. In my experience and my friends/relatives when the gut says he is cheating it usually is proven right, even when our head will argue with "on this hand he did this, on the other hand that happend but on this hand" etc etc etc. Makes a person crazy and then he will talk to her like she is crazy because of course he isnt cheating. Umm yeah he probably is.
I really feel for your friend and think this marriage will probably end but not before a lot more pain, confusion, lies, tears is had.
Support your friend as best you can, she is going to need you.

I think I'm a good guy, Help!!!
Posted: 1/18/2013 3:24:08 AM
I had a similar situation. I met a very nice guy and he was everything I wanted, ALMOST. The thing that was missing was the chemistry. I think we all come across people that we are attracted to but are not nice to be with and then there is the great person that we are not attracted to. Pity we cant mix and match LOL

How do I make her feel like the only girl in the world?
Posted: 1/12/2013 1:48:26 AM
Some of the other posters answers are not what would make me feel like the only girl in the world. I like a meal cooked or flowers but for me I dated a guy who was so focused on me when we were together that I couldnt help but feel we were the only two around.
I remember getting sick and as I laid on the bed he combed my hair with his fingers telling me I was so beautiful even when I know I looked like death warmed up.
Experiencing him lets me believe that there is a possibility of a great match. He sadly died.

Yes I have felt the same and being on here while you feel that way can do more damage than good.
Get your divorce, stay away from dating for awhile and learn to like yourself and get to know yourself as an individual. Go out and have fun with girlfriends.

Posted: 1/10/2013 4:26:47 AM
Good idea.
I see two scenarios here, 1. you go back to your wife if she lets you and you continue with your happy safe looked after life but feel something is missing - a child. 2. You leave your wife and may or may not find a suitable match to be married to and have kids with.
Women should not be considered for marriage for the sole purpose to carry and raise a child for you. That will not make you, her or the child happy.

I agree with Ann, I also have little sympathy for someone who wants to procreate at the expense of a seemingly good marriage.
Your wife said no kids before marriage and you changed your mind and left her, now it sounds like your messing with her emotions which is cruel and doesnt seem like you do really love her.
Leave her alone to meet someone else and hopefully she will be with someone that doesnt disrespect her like you have, someone that will appreciate her caring nature as you described.

Should I feel guilty?
Posted: 12/31/2012 3:26:07 AM
I love seeing men guiding this young boy with words of advice that it isnt a good thing to do.
I had a guy asking to marry me and then I caught him while we were both on a cruise, with one of the ships staff. It was horrible and his reasoning was that I didnt give him an answer and justified this disgusting (to me) behaviour. I started to think that I must be living in the wrong period for me as I dont get this new way of thinking but thank god for this forum showing that people still find this behaviour disprespectful.

How Big a NO NO is it to read your Partners Emails ?
Posted: 12/30/2012 3:14:43 AM
I have read most posts say its a No No and thats fine, I respect others differences.

For me, I am an open book and would have no problem with a partner reading my emails, facebook etc but would not give my password to my bank account.

Posted: 10/25/2012 4:59:12 AM
I take on board what everyone has said but dont necessarily agree.
To clear up something I was slightly attacked on, when we discussed me not wanting kids he agreed it wasnt a problem for him. When I said I cant marry you because I cant accept the financial drain, he promised me it would stop, which it did until I walked down the aisle. I believe I was being responsible by discussing prior to marriage possible issues and we ageed on them at the time.
I agree he has a right to date other girls and never said that was wrong. What I dont get is his wanting me back since I put a STOP to us hanging out, his behaviour by dating others to me doesnt seem like someone missing me, hence my confusion.

Men confuse the heck out of me and am interested in what other guys think of this behaviour.
I was married, life was great full of laughter apart from a few issues. Before marriage we discussed many things, one being me not wanting kids and another my concern about the constant drain of money by his family that I cant accept.
After marriage his family continued on a weekly basis demanded money and its a very big family, when it started to put us in debt I got angry and we would fight. Not much else we would fight over but that.
Then he decided he wanted kids, he was getting older and time was going to run out so he left me. That was hard but I get people change their mind, however he always wanted to see me and kept asking to hang out. Now we are divorced he is still wanting to hang out but openly makes dates with other women in front of me. Seems like he wants his cake and eat it to. Ive put a stop to us hanging out so now he is talking about coming back but with conditions. All this drama was because of him. Weird, really weird to ask such a thing when he has been so open about his flirting and dating of other women.

How are any of us decent guys ment to meet a girl on this or even get mail replied to?
Posted: 10/14/2012 4:14:15 AM
Some food for thought. Women can receive many messages a day. What does your message say that would stand out from the rest. Think about an employer advertising a job, and all the resumes they get, they would only view and respond to the ones that stand out right? I think it is similiar on here.
You dont have a profile picture, 30 other messages might have a profile picture. It isnt about beng shallow but to get a look at someone you can get an idea if you might have an attraction or not.

Perhaps she has found out your on a dating site seeking a relationship and showing as single on your profile.
Could it be she didnt want to make a liar out of you and dumped you so you are single?

Australians should work harder
Posted: 9/1/2012 6:52:40 AM
I had a look at the article : Gina Rinehart tells whingers to get out of the pub.
I dont get it, whats wrong with that. I dont read that as Australians need to all work harder. I read that those that are whinging about not having wealth should get out of the pub and work for it (it aint gonna come to your bar stool).
I have seen so some very irritating ppl complain that I have too many toys and holiday overseas alot, well they could to if they didnt blow it on smokes, booze and eating out all the time, but hey, if thats what you want to do then do it but dont complain you dont have money to buy the jetski or go on the holiday.

High Expectations and First Dates.
Posted: 7/13/2012 9:02:32 PM
I finally got a message from someone Yeah for me. Went on my first POF date, no big surprises as we had skyped previous so knew what each other looked like.
Meeting in the carpark and the walk to the restaurant was great then it turns out the family restaurant he chose is owned by friends so I wasnt just being judged by my date but 5 other ppl aswell. EEEK pressure.
He talked about his 'bestie' most of the night making it clear he has set dates with this person. Bestie = female friend without the romance. At the end of the evening he asked to do it again. Sure, maybe we can invite his bestie next time.

High Expectation on First Dates - I dont expect to be hearing about an obvious crush on another women.

Getting to OP comments:- For someone to be that strong on the thought that the asker should pay, you said she mentioned it 10 times, was there no sign that she was a princess in your conversations to the lead up to the date?

I agree with qldblue. I would wonder about who the rightful owner was and are they being inconvenienced by the error the company has made.

I quick little story to share although it isnt as grand as a big TV.
Came home one night and found flowers at my door, I luvvvvv receiving florist flowers. Upon reading the card it was clear it wasnt for me. I rang the florist to tell them of the mistake, turns out that the delivery should have gone to someone nearby so I offered to take them. I got more joy out of that visit seeing the womens face change from tears to smiles than I would have from keeping the flowers.

Men happy to take money off women ?
Posted: 6/30/2012 11:25:03 PM
Since I left my marriage I have had friends set me up on blind dates. One thing I noticed in common with the dates is that the man had financial problems and raised the issue when the bill came, Im not one to cause a scene and although Im not rich paid the bill but left thinking I dont want to meet this person again.

I hear/read in forum posts how our culture states that the man pays on a date but my experience has been quite the opposite.

I was raised by a proud father that insisted on paying and a brother that has the same attitude. 'A man isnt a man if he has to take from a women' attitude. Im not saying that is the right attitude to have but it has left me with thoughts that if I am expected to pay for a man, has society done a complete role reversal.

I have no problems paying for myself, I want to make that clear.

Speaking with other single women recently they have said they experienced the same thing. I would like to hear the opinions of others on this apparent role reversal.

Have women experienced this also, do men feel that it is about time or do men still feel it is their role to pay?

SlutWalk Brisbane 2012
Posted: 6/30/2012 10:08:03 PM
This is my opinion worth nothing to most on here but forums are for us to offer our opinions.

Do I think it is right to use the excuse a girl was dressed slutty so they deserved it. NO!
But. I also think we need to take responsibility for our own care aswell. When I went to Egypt where a high percentage of women wear a Hijab of one sort or another, I needed to wear covering clothes in the suburbs or risk being gropped. The opinions of a majority of men were that non muslim women were open to sexual attention. This is wrong thinking but it is the thinking so I took precautions.

Is it right that I cant walk the streets alone and feel safe, no it isnt but common sense tells me I would be stupid to do so.

The slut walk to me is like most protests, a group of people saying they arent happy and whats the harm in that.

Someone mentioned the lack of equality regarding a nun and a prostitute being raped and the sentence handed for each was different. Sentencing takes into consideration the severity to the victim. It was recognised that both had a crime upon them and you cannot deny that a nun would be more emotionally scared than a prostitute.

should you confess to an affair
Posted: 6/30/2012 9:27:47 PM
Im sure this question stirs up emotions for many.

I was a teenage bride when I was first married, a few years later was about to have a beautiful son and all seemed to be going well. Shortly after bringing my son home my husband was spending more time at work, I thought I was very tired with a new baby and imagining things but 12 months later learnt the truth that he was having an affair. "my husband had an affair", words that brings a conclusion that she was married and he cheated on her, now the marriage is over. There is so much more behind those words. The sense something isnt right but told your just imigining it, you feel like your going crazy and start blaming other things, is it post natal depression, is it my insecurities. Then the truth when the 'other women' confronts you. Did I just get knocked thru a wall or hit by a bus cause it felt like it. Ok so I wasnt crazy or imagining things for 12 months but now what to do, my world and my babies world is falling from under us and no one is catching us. He didnt want to end the marriage and tried hard to keep us together. The unanswered question - why disrespect us and risk so much pain to those you supposedly love. I left and the pain and damage it caused kept me a single mum for a long time.

2nd marriage, it was a good one for a time, we had so much fun travelling, boating, hiking. I am older but was of equal fitness to the husband. I noticed he was starting to groom himself and take more care of himself, he was more flirty with other women. (being religious he wouldnt even touch other women previous) so I ended the marriage. Shortly after he met and started dating another women and many others since. Result for me was that it was painless and we are still friends today.

Cheating in a marriage or committed relationship causes so much more pain to many. Recognising a marriage is over, being mature about the break up, leaves everyone, partners, family, friends, all that loved us as a couple, disapointed but thats all.

There are many things that seperate us from animals, one is the understanding of consequences.

Sorry for the long post.

Age differences .. do they really matter?
Posted: 6/9/2012 7:56:30 PM
Plato, I am not seeing what point you were trying to make at me or was it an attempt to be simply mean.

My opinion is that I dont think age should matter, what I see is that for some people it does. The fact that I have an age range of 39 - 49 proves for me that I dont think it should matter.

Dating someone 10yrs younger doesnt guarantee a failure and dating someone of the same age doesnt guarantee success. For me someone younger matches my interests in activities better than someone older than me. I definately wouldnt rule out someone I met that was older simply because they are older if they matched my interests.

Soon, boat people will no longer be able to lie through their teeth
Posted: 6/9/2012 7:33:39 PM
A topic that always stirs up peoples emotions.

I was privy to knowledge of a Pakistani going to Malaysia for a holiday last Sept, legit holiday. He had to pay for a passport, show enough money in a bank account to support a holiday and show he had purchased a return ticket before a visa was allowed. Then at the airport in Pakistan he was questioned and had to show all documents.

It does make one wonder with having to pay for a seat on a boat on top of all the other costs, with all this money they have why are they claiming they are refugees.

What is your take on interracial relationships
Posted: 5/13/2012 7:05:34 AM
I was in a relationship with a man from Saudi Arabia, met him in Oz but his comments and attitudes showed he was not integrating well at all, seemed I was doing all the compromising, I didnt mind at first because he was really HOT but time changed that. The cultural difference was too much. This would make me wary of having another interracial relationship but it wouldn’t stop me from looking at a potential. I believe it was more about the individuals’ personality and unwillingness to be open minded.

I dont think age should matter but I also think it does for some.

If two ppl click then what is age, many can raise arguments why it wouldnt work and plenty of same age ppl cant make a relationship work either.

In your post, sounds like it was the age that bothered him or maybe your insecurity about it had you pestering him with questions and after only 4 days of knowing you he saw it as a red flag and bailed.

hatred of webcam
Posted: 4/14/2012 7:57:23 AM
It is a love hate relationship for me.

I think photos can be a little deceptive in that a not so good looking picture can be daunting but add a confident personality and you get a whole different spin on things and vice versa. So for me going on cam gives me a better look at who I am considering meeting.

The down side for me is that in most cases my face can be seen then im asked to stand up, turn around and I am thinking huh, I have just turned into a piece of meat and am sure they wouldnt ask me to do that face to face.

More on the down side is that when I am to meet someone face to face, a time and date is worked out, I have the chance to dress up and feel good that I am looking my best. Once you have been on Cam I am pressured to use it each time I log on, sometimes I am in my PJ's with no makeup, or just tired after a hard day and I say No, and get sulking or pressure from the guy.

Sounds to me like she was trying but wasnt getting what she wanted back. Then you moved house and I am wondering if you managed to show her support while she was stressed with her son. Then you went away for 3 weeks.
She moved on.
You cant expect a person to keep hanging around when there isnt a lot of feelings reciprocated.

It never rains it pours, sounds like its been a bit more of a storm in your life but I hope things are settling down for you now.
Im not surprised you felt overwhelmed and you have come out the other end ok, well done.
As for the guy, I dont blame a guy for not wanting to get too involved in someones drama, we all have our own to deal with. It takes a special person to support, help or just be there for a big hug when its needed.
These are the times you will always know who your true friends are. Doesnt sound like he is there as a friend or otherwise.
I believe its a good thing he has decided to back away, when things are rough you need support around you not someone that is just there for casual relations, its too much hard work to add to an existing trying time. Dont you think?

How evil are Banksters? What should we demand of them?
Posted: 5/21/2009 6:40:56 AM
Years ago the banks offered interest and friendly face to face service to get us from keeping our money under the mattress and letting them use it for investments.
They have cleverly marketed themselves to the point were we dont really have a choice, we have to use them. They got us!

Should I take up Smoking at Work so I can get lots of Breaks too ?
Posted: 5/21/2009 6:27:37 AM
Had the same problem in my workplace. Smoking breaks extended to 30 minutes albeit not every hour but several times in the day other than the lunch break.
I dont believe smokers realise that while there away someone has to cover for them and thats not fair, also I dont think they realise that basically its stealing. If your paid to work an hour then work the hour, to not and take the money is stealing.
It didnt take me long to go with them with my cup of coffee in hand, sit, chat and stay as long as they did, yep I was stealing but if the boss didnt care then why should I be left out of the wrought. Shortly after this smoko breaks were only allowed in the allocated morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea breaks that we all were entitled to.

WA daylight savings referendum
Posted: 5/16/2009 8:27:27 AM
Well its over AGAIN, the NO vote wins by the biggest margin ever. Forget the sarcasm from the YES voters about cows and curtains, Ive only ever heard a YES voter mention those things anyway. Day light saving didnt really effect me, it was simply my preferrence not to have it but what got me annoyed was the Govt forcing it upon us for 3 years when not 1, not 2 but 3 previous referendums clearly said NO. No obviously doesnt mean NO to the Govt. I wonder if there is great embarrassment for the Govt now knowing they forced an issue onto the residents when a majority doesnt want it. They should be.
WA timezone is in line with Malaysia, Singapore, China, well Asia and the East has who next to them ummm Figi maybe its the East that should get more in line with us. Ok so that is unrealistic but I really dont get this argument of it being difficult for businesses and I am insulted when someone suggest Im a dinasour and living in the dark ages because i dont want the extra hour of daylight. Change for the better is great Im sure most will agree, change for the sake of change is not necessary.
It boils down to each individuals preferrence, simple, most WA residents dont want it as shown in tonights vote.
