God, how many waitresses did I ask out after they gave me their secret smile and said those magical words, "Would you like fries with that hon?"

Flirting And The Older Male Fish Posted: 3/13/2006 11:48:42 AM
Remember when you were younger and you saw a pretty girl sitting at a table mindlessly scratching her head with a pen while reading a book? It only "looked" mindless. You KNEW she was scratching her head because...she wanted you! And when you saw another girl brush her hair back while eating, it was as OBVIOUS AS THE NOSE ON YOUR FACE. She brushed her back because...she wanted you to see her face and come over and talk to her. That girl sitting over there BREATHING...she's breathing like that because...she wants you to notice her! Every twitch and movement a woman made was because she wanted you. So you went over and took your "CAN'T MISS" shot. But now that we're older, wiser fish we realize that girl scratching her head...has an itchy scalp. Maybe dandruff! The other girl brushed her long, beautiful hair back from her face after she noticed she dipped it in the ranch dressing. And that girl breathing is just...breathing. Our "can't miss" shot is now 50/50. Lousy odds.

When you logon is the same person always on? Posted: 3/12/2006 7:58:24 PM
you may go on 12 dates and out of 12 be interested in 1 person You realize this is EXACTLY the kind of thing men complain about? I don't think I've had 12 dates in the last 5 years altogether. (Yes, I know your numbers were just a made-up example.) I'm just saying I could not imagine exchanging messages and photos with 12 women, meet each for a date and only like ONE of them.

Which is worse... being a couch potato.... or a puter goober Being a couch potato. Back to the original thread, you could say the same thing about personals in general. Ever notice these REALLY attractive, successful people who have their profiles posted for MONTHS? What's up with that? They've gotten hundreds and hundreds of responses, but every month there their ad is. Are they that picky? That bad at relationships? Or is it just a fake ad designed as an ego boost?

Why Does Every Post Start With... Posted: 3/11/2006 9:40:47 AM
Here's one I've heard from several women I've dated, "Every man I dated has cheated on me." They have the opinion that all men are UNFAITHFUL DOGS. Is that a generalization? Yes. But in their life it's a FACT.

Totally New Picture Rant Posted: 3/11/2006 9:31:53 AM
This is why I love the internet. Offer a little constructive criticism and people jump down your throat. Well too bad! I'm still RIGHT! Those of you saying you don't care if anyone likes your photos will be THE SAME ONES complaining in those ENDLESS threads "waahhhhhhhhh, no one responds to my ad!", "waaahhhhhhhhhh no one responds to my messages". You've got only one photo posted and that one looks like an alien from the planet Mongo! And you wonder why no one responds. As far as MY photos are concerned, they are designed to give you a REASONABLE idea of my appearance and physique. If we were meeting at a restaurant, you WOULD recognize me from my photos. Those of you who need a really closeup photo so you can see my eyes...and look into my soul???? PUT DOWN THE ROMANCE NOVEL and try dating a REAL person.

Totally New Picture Rant Posted: 3/10/2006 2:43:24 PM
a few of your pics are blurry I'm not trying to show you the pores on my skin. And notice I have FULL body shots. so I'm not hiding anything. and in the background you can see a messy room or That's not a bad photo. That's a DUMB photo. I've been guilty of that. I had someone take a full sun outside picture of me with my new camera. It was an EXCELLENT photo of me...with a huge dumpster behind me. now we have to not only have pics...but they have to be good quality I was contacted by a woman who had three photos with her profile. They were so blurry I told her I couldn't tell if she was man or a woman in ANY of them.

Totally New Picture Rant Posted: 3/10/2006 1:54:14 PM
No, this is not yet ANOTHER rant about people posting photos or fake photos or even a rant about people posting pictures only showing certain body parts. And this rant is not about people who don't post ANY photo. Like I said this is a totally NEW rant. My beef is with people who post BAD photos. It's 2006! We have cameras in our cellphones for God's sake! Photoediting software is FREE on the web! And you can't tell the difference between a GOOD picture and a BAD one??? Think about it. This is a DATING website! Why would you post a BAD picture of yourself??? FYI, if you and the background are the same shade of black...BAD PICTURE! If you're out of focus, BAD PICTURE! Too far away, BAD PICTURE! If I have to read your profile to figure out your sex, BAD PICTURE!!! This concludes this rant. You may now go back to complaining about why no one responds to your ad or why no one responds to your messages.

relationships Posted: 3/9/2006 6:42:25 AM
I would say the answer is YES. Women are very stubborn when it comes to relationships. A lot just REFUSE to let a bad relationship go. I've said it before, some women would have to catch their husband/boyfriend in bed with their SISTER before they would let him go. Men just aren't like that.

Why would someone try to screw you over? The "screwing over" is not intentional. From my perspective, the only criteria women use to set two people up is...you're both single. I'd be married with kids a long time ago if it was that easy.

Bad sex leads to solo hand job. Famous quote, "Bad sex is like bad pizza. Even when its bad...it's still pretty good!" As a guy, I can truly say I've NEVER had bad sex. Now whether my ex-girlfriends would agree....

if you could not see the opposite sex, would you still like the same men/ women? Posted: 3/2/2006 2:02:43 PM
Think of it this way. Most people have sex in the dark. So you have to use your memory to remind yourself of the appearance of what you're touching. But then you have those lovers who don't want you to see them naked beforehand. They turn out the lights, THEN take off their clothes. Then you just have to use your imagination.

Multipart question for us older fish. 1. Now that you're older (and wiser?), are you more or less willing to be set up on a blind date? 2. Who would you let set you up on a blind date, your best friend OR your mother? 3. Who is more likely to SCREW YOU OVER when fixing you up with someone, men or wormen?

I started falling for him before we even met in person. Because...you're a woman! I've said it before. Women have this ability to "suspend reality". A guy walks up to you on the beach and says "I noticed your smile from a mile away." And you'll blush. The fact that you're wearing a bikini two sizes too small will NOT make you believe him less.

If you look at those cards, they are stupid. They are like those little valentines day cards kids give each other in elementary school...... only stupider.. and very childish Wow and you're single. I can't believe it! This woman gets up the courage to try something other than the traditional method of finding a man (stand there and look pretty) and she's stupid and childish. Hope YOUR method is working for you.

Friends Posted: 2/28/2006 1:40:03 PM
Has there ever been a more HATED word when it comes to dating? Notice how members of the opposite sex are utterly DESPERATE to have you as a "friend"...that is until you show more than a "friendly" interest in them. Then suddenly you're a LEPER! To be avoided at all cost. And notice how many married friends of the opposite sex love to shamelessly flirt with you because...they're safe. Married. And just because they frequently gave your butt a playful squeeze you OBVIOUSLY knew nothing could ever come of it right? Finally, wasn't it your closest, bestest friend that set you up with that BLIND DATE FROM HELL? They just knew you two would hit if off because you were both...single. Ahhh, friends...what we do without them?

Oh please! This is the same "quality men" drivel women have been complaining about for years. You've got 4 million people in Ireland. If we assume half are men and you've talked to all 2 million (an impossibility), then you've found 10 guys out of 2 MILLION MEN interesting. Wow, talk about high standards! My advice...stop looking for the Irish Brad Pitt.

Yet another SILLY question. The truth is women already KNOW what we like. They just refuse to wear it. It's another one of those "I can get a man with my BRAINS instead of my BODY" situations. Yeah...good luck with that.

I don't know if you can call this guy an alkie just because he has a few beers everyday. I used to work at a company where at the end of the day a big group would go to the local bar for drinks...EVERYDAY. I didn't do it because it wasn't my thing, but I wouldn't call those people alkies. (But if you NEED to drink every day after work, maybe you need a different job.)

Dating twenty-somethings - good exp. or bad? Posted: 2/13/2006 5:32:40 PM
I guess it's my lonely job to stick up for older guys. So be it! First, any woman that has ever told me I was stubborn and set in my ways....wanted HER way...and didn't get it. 50/50 means you get your way 50% of the time and I get my way 50% of the time. If you're willing to settle for less than 50/50, that's find with me. Second, as a guy I get sooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of being the one to think up things for US to do. Simple math. Me + You = US. Women that go out with me are required to think along with me. If you find a guy boring, maybe he's just exhausted for thinking for the BOTH of you.

So I am not the only one. It never crossed my mind that I would not be married with kids by 30. 30 came and went. No one seems to be able to stay married (especially in my family) and how much everyone struggles with raising kids, I begin to wonder if that is something I really want.

Older And Wiser...Or Just Older? Posted: 2/8/2006 7:57:20 AM
is this thread about getting older & wiser or falling apart & getting senile?? I begin to wonder myself and I started it! So I'll restate the question. Are you older and wiser or are you just older? Do you make the same silly mistakes you did when you were younger? Are you still chasing some 22 year old blonde with KILLER legs? Or do you now NOTICE her three kids? Do you still run out of gas in the middle of nowhere? Still wake up naked next to someone whose name you don't know?

OK now that we've reached the "ugly" side of 30, time to fess up. Which of you are older AND wiser and which are just...older? I use to sprain my ankle every summer playing tennis. Then some time past 30 I looked at the ball and decided "that one's out of reach". Haven't sprained my ankle since. On the other hand, my body all these strange popping and cracking noises that I SWEAR it didn't make in my 20s. I'm a homeowner and I'm about one or two summers away from yelling at the kids to "Get off my lawn!"

Chatspeak Defined Posted: 2/3/2006 1:40:33 PM
If you hang around this site long enough, you'll notice people use strange words like "lol", "iso", "imho", etc. No, these aren't bad spelling fishies. (Well most of them anyway.) This is known as "chatspeak". Abbreviating sentences to save time in typing. Below are the common abbreviations and what they mean: LOL - lust only lasts ISO - insane, stupid and overworked LMAO - Listen! Men are honest ASL - anxiously sweating and loud IMHO - I may have herpes BTW - God will punish you BRB - belch YN - catholic F OFF - I could not agree with you more CUL8R - I'm going to have sex now L8R - I'm going to play with myself now TTFN -Of course my breasts are fake!

Simple Online Dating Advice Posted: 2/2/2006 7:40:55 AM
For every person that quickly found their Mr. or Miss Right online, there are HUNDREDS of frustrated people who have not found ANYONE. Hopefully this advice for BOTH sexes will help: 1. POST A PICTURE! The people who say they don't care what you look like are lying to you or themselves. I don't know a single person dating someone they don't find PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE. 2. READ THE PROFILE. Don't just look at the pictures! If it is beyond obvious you're not what they want, DON'T SEND THEM A MESSAGE. 3. ASK A QUESTION. For initial contact, find something in their ad to ask them about. "You're hot!" does not require a response. 4. ACCEPT NO AS AN ANSWER. And no response is an answer. NO. Even if you meet every criteria in their ad, they still might not be interested. ACCEPT IT! MOVE ON! 5. ASK WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW! I don't personally think you can get to "know" someone online, but if there are questions you need answered before you're comfortable meeting, it is YOUR responsibilty to ask those questions. 6. "Here for the forums." If you have no interest in meeting anyone EVER for whatever reason, PLEASE say that upfront in your ad. Feel free to add to these.

Are you looking or wanting to be found? Posted: 2/1/2006 8:35:11 PM
Both kinds of profiles can be frustrating. The people looking have this laundry list of wants, but can't be troubled to say anything about what they bring to the table OR post even ONE picture. The people wanting to be found (especially women) love to describe every nuance of their personality, but say NOTHING about their daily life. Ooooohhh how many profiles have I read where someone tells me how honest, trustworthy, brilliant and funny they are. And how they volunteer at the homeless shelter and pet small dogs. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China???????????

Wait a minute. You can't complain about the age of the men who send you messages if your profile states, "Age is no problem for me , younger or older." I personally stop writing women when it's obvious they just want a penpal. If you don't know me well enough after exchanging e-mail for a week to meet for at least coffee, I move on.

As you get older, you fall into a rut...otherwise known as LIFE. It's a nice rut, a comfortable rut. A rut you aren't really interested in changing after a while. You no longer are looking for someone to build a life with. You're looking for someone who will fit in your EXISTING life. Is that a bad thing?

Might as well dole out some advice between rants. Ladies, if you're going to post a photo of you and your best female friend. Look at the picture first. Is she SUBSTANTIALLY better looking than you? Then don't post that picture! It's like Hillary Clinton standing next to Jessica Simpson...don't let us see that comparison.
