Do Men REALLY Like to Cuddle?
Posted: 3/10/2007 8:07:24 AM
I've loved to cuddle from the moment I was first held by my Mom! If only we could go back to that moment....I'm very content with cuddling with my son and whoever I'm involved with - after all, there's really no better feeling, is there?

Class action against Yahoo Personals and Match.com for fraud
Posted: 11/21/2005 8:22:57 AM
I had a similar experience with another site, and am glad to see something is being done. I had an account on Lavalife. I received a "smile" from someone in one section (Dating), and it was this gorgeous looking woman from pretty far away. At the time, I didn't think much of it, and I didn't have any credits. I purchased credits a few days later, and I sent her a message - I figured what the heck? No reply.

The following day, I was in another section (Relationships), they have a profile that appears on the home page for that section, and it rotates through various women each day. That same woman's profile came up - same picture, but totally different information. She was from a different country, different height, age, etc.

I contacted Lava, thinking something was fishy there, and told them about this. They immediately deleted both profiles, and reversed the credits I used to contact this "person". They made it seem like someone else was fooling around, when in fact, it sent a signal to me that something might not be all right with that place.

I have met many great women from that site however, and had some good relationships, so I didn't follow up, but since then, I've been careful with that site as well....and I don't trust many now. I tried American Singles, and that same thing happened - I got about 10 messages from women...but you can't read your email until you pay. I got a free trial for a week, checked messages, and replied to them - nobody ever replied. Some were from women from Russia - guys, stay away from them! They just try to take you for your money!!!! That's another story for another time.

Another site that I think is VERY guilty of this bs is Ashley Madison, and Date.ca (the Canadian version of American Singles) so I'm glad something is being done - maybe now they will all be brought down!

Our reasons why we do not post pictures
Posted: 11/17/2005 7:43:33 AM
Azcosmogrl - some people don't post their pics because they are married and in here to fool around on their wives. That's why I don't respond to women without pics - your point is a valid one!

How Important is Honesty?
Posted: 11/15/2005 11:58:01 AM
Tell them immediately. If you know as soon as you lay eyes on them, then it's the first thing you say. What I would do on any first meeting is tell her not to say anything....let's just enjoy each other's company while we have this coffee, and we'll discuss how we feel either on msn, or in an email later so there is no confusion on either side. I've done this a few times, and it's worked out well. I am very honest, so I don't let it continue if there is no "spark". If it only went one way, you've only met once, and nobody gets hurt. What good does it serve to pretend there is spark when there isn't? That is the sign of a player....just to make their conquest, and move on. People like that shouldn't be dating at all, and chances are they are probably married anyway! Be careful out there guys & gals!

Would a man seriously date a woman with three kids
Posted: 11/15/2005 11:46:38 AM
It doesn't matter how many kids someone has - however, if they have severe financial issues, do drugs, and don't take care of themselves, that would tend to keep me away ;) Seriously though, I don't base anything on that - I loved the Brady Bunch!

To the Single Dad in Florida (who will probably always be single after this post)

I find it both interesting, and educational reading all the responses to my question (and I thank all of your for your input)....but none more than this. If you think for a minute that "getting laid" would have made this ok, you need help. That is not the purpose of this thread, nor is it in my nature to have that be my "bottom line". I don't care about anything other than respect, and if getting laid is what is bottom line to you, then you'll always be in POF! Women deserve respect, and I treat them as such - I just ask the same in return. You, my friend are the Spade here - what a foolish thing to say.

Yes, the women have made it known...lol. I guess, my intention all along was to hear from the men - I had a feeling what the female reaction would be like ;) It's easy to say to make it known before you go out...but that also seems a bit cheesy, don't you think?

Wow...puts my experience into perspective, thanks. But also, I was not horny..lol. If you read my profile, you'll see I'm not like most guys - I just think respect works both ways - always open to making new friends if nothing else!

My only question to you is - did you tell him how you felt right away, or did you wait until the check came ;) Even though he sounds like a loser...he still deserved to know that.

For the record - had she told me she wasn't interested, I still would have paid - I guess it's just the way she went about it that bothered me, but you're right - meeting for coffee will have to be the way from now on - I just find that so....typical and boring - there has to be a better "first meet"!

Again, my apologies for leaving the part out about her asking me out...and again, to me it was a "meeting", and not a date - that comes after you decide if you want to date, correct? Why post her name? So others don't get put in the same place. Who is to say she doesn't do this to others? Nice guys always seem to finish last - guess I'm just trying to put an end to that ;) Nope - she doesn't owe me anything other than a thank you, but a gesture would have been nice. How would you feel if I didn't pick up the check, and waited for you to pay? What would you think of the guy in that case?

Thanks...it is of my opinion that the first meeting, isn't really a date, or have I been out of the loop for so long that it has changed? lol I agree, that on the first date, if I ask the girl out (which wasn't the case here), then I would by all means pay. But if I'm asked to meet...my thinking is meeting halfway would be appropriate, that is all. Wow....women attack! lol....thanks for the input all!

Actually, she asked me out...sorry to leave that out - and whether or not I could afford it, is irrelevant, just asking as a matter of principle.

Hi all,

Guess I'm wondering how many others are a victim of this. Here is the scenario - first date/meeting. You go out for dinner, and the check comes. You both look at it. The reasonable thing to do is a) look at the check but avoid it like the plague until the other takes care of it b) offer to split it with the person you are with, or c) pay it to be nice.

I guess I'm the kind of person that is too shy to ask someone to pay half, but it really is an awkward position to be in. You'd think I'd learn because from a past experience, I paid, only to have the date barely touch her food, then take everything home in a doggy bag for her kids.

My latest scenario was that after some deliberation, I paid the check. She made no attempt to pay at all, but just said "thanks" once I paid. An excuse was then made after dinner about having to leave, and the "date" ended.

No contact was made after, either to say she didn't want to continue, or explain any reason as to why things went the way they did.

I know not all women are out for the "free meal", but don't you think some respect is warranted either by paying half, or to let the other person know why you didn't think the date was a "click"? It really leaves you looking bad as a person.

I had thought of posting her name so she wouldn't do it to others in here, but that's just not me.

What are your thoughts, I'm curious!

how to detect liars.........???
Posted: 9/24/2005 6:59:12 AM
From my experience, the only way you learn to detect a liar is by learning from past relationships. For example, My ex-wife cheated on me, and I had no clue at the time. But from that experience, I learned all the signs - when it happened again (yeah, lucky me huh?), I caught it right away, and got out of the relationship. I've also been on a number of "dates" or "meets", and if you go on enough, you start to pick up things that you recognize right away. Like...why did they only give you their cell #? Why can't I see their house? Why can they only chat late at night? Things like that....bottom line is, if you lie, people always find out in the end, so why bother? ;)
