You guys say it's nice to get emails returned, right? Posted: 9/25/2008 2:32:24 PM
I don't think it's ego..it's entitlement...i want therefore i should have...on second thought i guess they are alike.I consider a thanks but no thanks to be courteous and something to be appreciated.

Your Pet or YourRelationship? Posted: 9/20/2008 7:41:41 AM
Sabrosura...."unconditional love" is based on knowing the conditions,having the ability to interpret them and loving anyway...who,man or beast would not love someone who feeds them,pets them and gives them a free place to live.The ones who use the term unconditional love usualy struggle with giving it the most.

Do most people still turn their noses up at the idea of meeting someone online ? Posted: 9/20/2008 6:50:43 AM
People's irrational fears are prophetic at times...they actual increase the chances that what is feared will happen.

Those who are prejudiced against online dating forget that good and bad people can be found anywhere,the same nut ,male or female can get up from their computer,go to the store and you could meet them there,they have co workers and friends that you could meet them through,they ride buses,trains,they fly in airplanes and do all of the things all the "normal" people do and can be found and met any where at any time.The people who are prejudiced in their attitudes about how and where to meet people are usualy predictable and easily read...all anyone has to do is approach them in the prescribed manner and they will fall for it every time...like always we blame the ways and means and our own creations instead of ourselves.

When one invests more in relationship.... Posted: 9/16/2008 2:12:56 PM
Op...i like to see it as a closed door vs an open door...nobody spends or has to spend any time wondering what's behind an open door...it's there for anyone to see,it's the closed door that sparks the curiosity and drives one to try and see what's there...the reality is there may be nothing there at all but the door being closed prevents you from seeing that.I have experienced these same things and i have found that those who contribute"absolutely nothing" usualy have nothing to contribute.....the closed door conceals nothing of value,it's just closed and that's enough to create some of the things you speak of.

Op your list might be better describes as a tutorial on how to get a woman seeing as how alot of you fall for it every time... a male "player" is simply a man who understands the psyche of a large majority of women and uses that knowledge to have his way with you...the rest i belive you usualy refer to as ....nice guys....women do it to.

Your Pet or YourRelationship? Posted: 9/14/2008 8:22:47 AM
I love animals but i am always amused at the things some people say about their pets like "my pet is always there for me"....they have a choice ? "my pet gives me unconditional love"....do you treat your pet the way you treat your b/f or g/f...do you lie to them or play games with their affections ? do hint at an attraction for other animals ? do you stare at other people's pets in public to make them jelous ? do you place demands and expectations on them ? do you require anything from them aside from the fact of mere existence ?....you feed them give them a place to live and let them do as they please for the most part. The dynamics between pets annd pet owners and men and women and people in general are so different that it makes a comparing the two an exercise in absurdity.

prosthetic....people get mad when you express points of veiw they don't like,dating single parents can be great or it can be a disaster depending on the people involved and what the realtionship is between the x's,the attitudes of the children and sometimes the in laws as well.I can tell you this much it is easy to go from peace and quiet to complete chaos in a short period of time if you find yourself in the wrong situation...an unpopular and inconveinent truth.

Sweetness...i have the right as do you to be anywhere here i choose to be...get the rules changed so that only single parents can post here and also get the rules changed to where single parents cannot bring up the issue anywhere but here and that they cannot bash anyone who does not wish to date them...bitter ? the word women use anytime a man questions their behaviour..no i am not bitter.....dumped ?...no ...i had enough sense to get myself out of it. The reason i am here is because i have dated women with children...it is difficult at best and i suspect your attitude comes form your ignorance of those difficulties.I suppose your understanding of the word forum means that some points of veiw must be submissive and deferential to other points of veiw....people in various situations can complain about other people avoiding those situations,make assumptions about their character and those people are just supposed to take it with no response...does putting down anyone who does not share your veiws and experiences make you feel like a woman?

Physical Attraction.... Does it really matter???? Posted: 9/12/2008 1:31:08 PM
The thing i find ironic in the whole male female attraction issue is that there are very few women in the world too ugly to get a man,any woman can get a man of some kind.... but there are tons of men too ugly to get a woman,can't get one no matter what they do...kind of makes you wonder who looks matter to most doesn't it.

sweetness...you are not going to debate because you are not capable of it,please if you can,quote me where i have said that i didn't like single moms...of course you cannot and simply resort to nonsense about what forum i'm in.I doubt you know or understand the word forum,rebuttal or refutation...you do not have the capacity to debate the issue or any of it's aspects.The assumptions you make about me and my life are idiotic and imbecilic at best and assinine at worst seeing as how i have made no such assumptions about you,then you take it a step further by telling me irrelevant details about yourself,being a widow or not a teenager again has nothing to do with anything...babble on or yada yada yada as much as you like,you have no points and nothing to say,however i do learn more about you with each post and will not need to make assumptions like you do.

"They too are entitled to have someone"...i was wondering when someone would finaly just come out and say it....no! nobody is entitled to the attention and affections of another...."so just remember you also do have a mother"....the point being what ?...the pursuit of a relationship and the choice of a partner has nothing what so ever to do with it. The issue is single parents and the challenges and difficulties they have in relationships,no one to the best of my knowledge has ever said there was anytghing"wrong" with single parents,speaking about the challenges and whether or not one wishes to get involved is not derogatory,accusatory,slanderous or anything close to what has been said by SOME single parents around here about people who have made the choice to not date a single parent.....it's just people complaining because they are not getting what they want from other people.

Sweetness...this is a forum...one of Webster's definitions for forum is as follows...."an oppurtunity for open discussion...single parents do not confine themselves to the single parent forum..they bring up their issues where ever they feel like it and likewise they receive responses where ever they bring them up.....me or anyone else being in the single parent forum is a non issue. The issue is single parents talking about the difficulties encountered while dating or attempting to date,they bring up the issue of men and women without children being reluctent to get involved and some even go so far as to take cheap shots at them,calling them "selfish" "self centered" ect...in the spirit of the definition of a forum i or anyone else has the right to dispute and confront such comments..this is not or should not be a special place where people can come and complain,make accusations,assumptions and ad homenim attacks against others simply because they are not getting what they want...i can only assume you have no valid point other than i am saying things you don't like and think i shouldn't say.

No one is sterotyping...dating a single parent is hard...very hard for both women and men...what i get tired of is hearing single parents express confusion over the fact that people are not standing line for it.I dated three women with children...one day i'm relatively happy and care free and the next thing i know there are these people who's names i didn't know a week ago that i have to impress and win the approval of,the kids,the ex,inlaws on both sides and the woman herself...always wrong,last and the fifth leg on a chair....yeah sign me up The best thing to do is stay by yourself until your children are grown,it's called sacrifice...but no they want what they want on their own terms and it's up to another man or woman to make the sacrifices to be with them and be damn happy about it to,otherwise they will be judged to be deficient in character....the entitlement mentality 101

Op...why do women think they have the right to decide what should appeal to a man and the right to judge his character if he doesn't go along ? you might also tell me why people in general seem to beleive that it's all about what they think and perceive of themselves and not what others think and perceive.The fact is in your own mind you can be all that and a bag of chips but if the other person doesn't want all of that and hates junk food you're done.

Sparky......neither you or her will ever summon or dismiss me for any reason,this is a forum and everyone comes to it with different experiences,both positive and negative being equaly valid,it could be that those who express such concerns did not appreciate the treatment they received from people hardly in a position to judge anyone,people who have children are often quick to assess what the other person brings to the table but fail to consider what they bring...if it's nothing but a bunch of clanish,tribal B.S they are not worth the effort....the goal of being the fifth leg on a chair,almost always judged to be wrong while everyone else is always right is also a load of BS that most people should not waste their time with.
