WOMEN'S ASS SIZE STUDY

There is a new study about women and how they feel about their asses. The results were pretty interesting:

30% of women think their ass is too fat...

10% of women think their ass is too skinny...

The remaining 60% say they don't care, they love him, he's a good man, and they wouldn't trade him for the world.

OMG .. lmao!!

I won't bother wasting mine on a site where you have to be a certain way to get noticed

mr. archer - You've Only been here for 8 Days!!! Omg.. !!! lol - you do know that Patience is a virtue - obviously isn't your strong suit! lol
holibatcrap..there are people who've been here for a couple years! why? - cuz it's FUN!

A good attitude, patience And a Smile are ALL attractive .. the opposite of which are not..

And it is Not being pretentious to be honest! lol .. No one said you "have to be a certain way" to get noticed - However, since we're using analogies! lol .. If there's a big old pile of leaves on your lawn .. the leaves on top are all crisp and red and light .. the ones at the bottom .. are well .. at the bottom .. hidden, invisible - NOTHING making them "standout" .. would you choose the leaf that is There, visible and UNPRETENTIOUS - just bein a red leaf hoping to be noticed .. or would you dig under the pile for one that is Hiding .. playing that old "cat 'n mouse" game??

If you aren't willing to put yourself out there .. perhaps the online thing isn't for you ..

Anyway .. s'up to you .. but I think you're looking for Sympathy in a pond where there Are loads of guys who Know that - if what they're doing Isn't working, Maybe it's time to try something new..

Pretentious?? You're on a Dating Site - Your profile is Supposed to represent You and it is Supposed to be what (Initially) Attracts someone to you. There are lots of Men on this site (and women too) who have Lots of luck meeting and dating ..

but you keep on doin it your way ...

B-bye!



.. 8 days and complaining about wasting time .. sheesh .. this isn't the sears catalogue ya know! lol..

.. so .. ummm How's That workin for ya??

lol .. sorry I just had to .. anyway

OK .. Whoa!! .. I was NOT accusing You of copy and paste .. I was addressing the topic in general.

I Was "Trying" to help - seriously! .. You posted a thread - I Assumed you were looking for feedback and Maybe a few suggestions to Help You get what you are saying you are looking for .. I didn't think you just wanted to complain .. sigh ..

Anyway .. I'll try One more time..

As for you having pics attached to your note - Unless your profile is "inviting" many people don't even open your note to see the pictures they have No Way of knowing are attached. I am NOT speaking for myself - if I get a note I open it .. and Depending on what it says - I most always respond. The ONLY notes I don't entertain are either Very Rude or from someone looking to cheat.

The statistics re whether there are more men or more women really don't matter .. Like I said earlier - We (women) are often treated the Same way you complain about in your OPost .. It Happens. Online brings with it a lot of the nastier side that SOME people have.

I agree that Any relationship STARTS with talk .. etc. - However - the field on our profile is not about where we want to START or there would be No option But "Talk" .. I "get" what you are saying HERE - But it isn't always about what we mean as much as it is about how we are interpreted..

S'up to you .. you either want someone who can read your mind .. who presumes to know you mean something other than what your profile states - OR you want to find someone to date..

There are methods that you might find more successful. My earlier post was ONLY about trying to help you get what you are looking for .. It was just what these forums are supposed to be for .. questions followed by comments, opinions and advice.

and btw - I know plenty of people on this site who DO meet and who DO date .. They must be doin somethin right! ;)

Like I said earlier .. and I meant it - Good Luck!

We are not the enemy!! ;)

IF you are serious about finding someone - you needs remember the old saying: "You get out of it what you put into it."

A Picture "might" help - most of us who've been on here any length of time KNOW that a lot of youngen use mom and dad's puter to "play" with people (internet )

Als0 - you are (only) looking for "talk/email" so right there you've limited how many women will be interested. It is a "dating" site and so Most are here to actually Meet and Date.

That said - It goes both ways here - I've sent out plenty of emails and Some have even been responded to! Not the majority..

I know that there are some (men and women) who send out emails to Everyone they see .. usually the generic "copy and paste" (Obvious) and/or the short 'one liners' (ie: Hey - wanna chat?) .. or something equally 'Exciting' lol ..

It is best to surf .. look around .. READ The Profile - Before you send that note out. And it is important to remember that Most of us Do read your profile before responding .. I have received a FEW notes from guys saying: "Long profile" or "too long to read - wanna chat?" .. lol .. holicrap .. IF you haven't got 5 minutes to read a few paragraphs ..you probly don't have time to 'get to know' a person .. and isn't that at least Partially why most of us are on here??

Anyway .. I think that if All you are looking for is talk/email .. you might find the forums more to your liking .. I have made friends through these forums from one coast to the other ..

FYI OP - SOME men And women are on here to Cheat - they have their target already and probly don't respond to many notes as they fear it "might" be their partner catching them. Yes .. it does happen.
Some are not at all who they claim to be - ie: some are the children of the people they are trying to 'represent' here. Yup .. that happens too..
Some aren't even here anymore - so you message will be unread/deleted in a period of time determined by the system..
Some .. well I could just go on ..

Remember it is the Internet - all is Not as it appears. Best to Read those profiles and ONLY message those that Truelly interest you ..sure there will be those who still don't respond .. ya can't control what a disembodied entity / Total Stranger does or doesn't do .. specially online where anonymity is the arseholes best friend.

Good Luck = Remember this too - there are Loads of Great people on this site .. I hope you find yourself a few.

WTH is going on? Phone relationship??
Posted: 11/14/2009 5:07:31 PM

I texted her, called her same day and next, nothing. So I sent her a msg saying I get the hint and goodbye...she immediately calls back apologizing and to explain I misunderstood and she was just busy.

All is well again and we continue to talk everyday. Yesterday, I sent her a text asking if she wants to go for dinner..no reply.. I call her after work...no answer...left a msg...no reply.


So WTH is going on???


She's probably BUSY Get it? Holibatcrap - just reading That was annoying! Just My Opinion - you sound Clingy, Needy, Smothering = Sounds to me like she can't breathe and Needs Space. Already!


my patience is running thin..
.. Are You serious??? You have No patience to begin with. ALL of what you complain is over a day or 2!! OMG ..

is this normal when child involve or thats too much. whats your 2 cents in!
Posted: 11/14/2009 3:07:28 PM

Trying to raise the kid....having both parents involved....seems normal to me. Doesn't mean anything is going on. Just means they're trying to raise the kid right. Doing activities together...having meals together.




IF you can't handle these parents getting along so well - Please = seriously .. walk away. There are Far too many children in this world who hve to deal with the crap, drama and fallout of parents who hate, argue and otherwise can't find Peace - for the sake of the child.

I think what she and her ex are doing is Exactly as they Should - For the Child.

When there are Children - They come First.

Nice to hear about parents who .. even though they are no longer together, behave in a manner that is appropriate and beneficial to their child.

TEXTS FROM THE EX
Posted: 11/13/2009 2:27:30 AM
Be Honest.

Most of us have more Respect for a man who isnt afraid of Speaking His TRUTH - without fear of how it might make him "look".

You dont' have to "ignore" her (initially) .. just tell her the truth. IF that is what you've posted here, then tell her you NEED a clean break, that the texts are messing with your head and your heart and that MAYBE 'down the road' .. you can be "Friends".
Then - if she continues with the texting - Ignore her.

Be True to Yourself.

Anyone else think Dating someone with a previous Drug Addiction is a BAD idea?!
Posted: 11/10/2009 5:07:07 PM
lekitty - Right On!
Yes, absolutely! I also think that it's a horrible idea to date someone with a CURRENT personality disorder...like not having any sense of compassion, or perhaps feeling an overwhelming need to put every person into a little pigeon-hole


btw - Just because someone has shared certain symptoms does Not mean that they have the same 'affliction' / disease. There are varying degrees of most every ailment that plagues man or womankind - addiction being only one of them.

There are some who drink "alcoholicly" for years and seem to have little or no difficulty giving it up. There are others who drink for fewer years and indeed drink less throughout who simply cannot (not by choice - by Definition of the word Addicted) just cannot give it up.

Anyone who has been to AA or who has studied addictions or alcoholism Knows that there are many 'types' .. many degrees .. But the one thing Most know is that it is Not a choice. IF it were as 'easy' as that there would be Fewer people dying in back allies, fewer people in psych units .. fewer people suffering.

There is a HUGE difference between someone "choosing" to use and someone who is Addicted to that substance. The ONLY person any of us has any right to "Judge" is our own self.

I have been sober for over 16 years = absolutely no doubt in my mind that I am an alcoholic and that I have a Very addictive nature. I poked needles, popped pills, snorted some crappy coke (and some 'good' coke) .. blahblah .. I Could NOT quit on my own.
The withdrawals that Some addicts / alcoholics must struggle through are in Some cases literally Life threatening. NOT Choice.

Judge Yourself.

IMO the key word in the OPost is PREVIOUS - aka Not Now. We all have a history - anyone who can claim they don't .. was either comatose or very boring and is just not interesting enough for me.

Live.

Texting while on a date
Posted: 11/10/2009 12:13:05 PM

Why in the world would a guy continue to carry on a text conversation with a "friend" after they pick me up for an evening?
Why?? because he is Very Rude.

Am I wrong to expect that when I am picked up for a date that the focus should be on the two of us?
.. nope .. not wrong ..

If it was an emergency or a family member then that would be understandable and expectable but a "friend" who just happens to be female. I'm not even the least bit jealous by nature but should I expect things like that while dating these days?

Totally agree with that - esp the family emergency thing ..
He was texting with a Friend?? holicrap .. no manners eh ..


After about a half hour of the texts having his complete attention, he did turn the phone off. I don't even know what I would of done if it would of continued. We were at his home because the plan was to watch a movie.


He carried on a conversation with someone who was Not there, ignoring You who Was there and who was sposed to be his DATE?? and You let him get away with it for a half hour?? ... noooo no no noooo .. He should have texted his lady friend that his date had arrived and it would be rude to continue yakking / texting after that.


I don't expect him to stop the world from revolving when he's with me but this is a NEW thing that we've got going on.


I feel the same .. no ones world stops for me .. BUT - I think these text message things are getting out of hand .. Rude rude rude. People tap and click endlessly, all the while Ignoring friends, dates and live human beings who are right in front of them.

RUDE.

Heavier Americans Push Back on Health Debate
Posted: 11/9/2009 4:43:59 AM

But why should taxpayers have to pay more so that those who make no effort to improve themselves can have the same coverage we have?


wow .. I have never had a weight issue .. but I most certainly do feel for those who have had that struggle! People who are overweight are most often the targets of bullies, ignorant comedians and people who (in Most cases) have No idea why that person is overweight, let alone what their struggles and/or Other health issues 'might' be. I (we) are in No position to judge.

I think it would be scarey if our (Canadian) government started segregating those who are entitled to free or less expensive healthcare from those that (They Judge) less 'worthy' of that healthcare! Why not take it a step further .. instead of charging 'certain' people more, why not just cut out those that are Judged to be more a tax on the healthcare system .. which btw IS supposed to be in place for the Sick, Not the Healthiest among us! ..

So .. lets just 'say' (they decided) no healthcare for those who some consider more a burden .. like:

Overweight
Smokers (cancer risk, emphysema.. etc)
Drinkers
Drug Abusers
Military* (ducking that flack!) lol ..
Diabetics - now talk about people who are a drain on the healthcare system AND most of them 'could' control their diabetes through Diet as well! Oh Yes they could!
People with Chronic heart disease who Refuse to exercise (cardio) ..
Paratroopers .. Now there's a crazy bunch eh! lol

I know .. I'm getting a 'bit' extreme .. BUT .. where do you draw the line?

I look forward to the day when All nations spend More money on keeping the people Healthy than we do on Killing each other.

oh .. and btw .. 3 years ago I was a HUGE Burden on our Free Healthcare system .. and I was that "burden" for the better part of the past 3 years (only the past few months I've been Much Better - thank you!) .. that said: I am definitely Not overweight (5'5 / 13olbs), I do not smoke, don't drink .. I eat properly and I am (generally) very active .. healthy. I suppose when I voluntarily went into tht smokey building 4 times 'they' should have penalized me and charged me for that oxygen I needed .. cuz ya know .. I was the one who Chose to put myself at risk ..

I say that a Good, Well Run, Civilized Country should provide Free Healthcare to All of its citizens. There are countries (very few) who Do this.. they benefit in more ways than most of us realize .. y'all should google "Free Healthcare" and check out places like Copenhagen!! REMARKABLE!! They put us (Canada and the U.S.) to shame.

btw - I am one of the lucky who survived a serious case of smoke inhalation (no no no - Not cigarettes! sheesh - I'm talking house fire / black smoke billowing .. that sort of smoke inhalation) .. Not only was I fortunate to 'survive' it - My damaged lung has virtually repaired itself and my heart is dam near perfect! I am sooo lucky that no one said I had to pay more because I placed my own self at risk.

I Don't Need A Man.., I very Independent..etc etc = RED Flags?
Posted: 11/9/2009 4:10:35 AM


If a man said this to me, I'd think I was sitting with a man who got it. A man who'd rather want a woman than need her is a guy who won't freak out when I'm not around him 24/7. Works for me.


hmm.. seems to me Womaninprogress IS speaking for her ownself .. nowhere in her post does she say anything about most or all women .. So .. what's with this:


Stop playing ignorant.

Most women aren't going to react like you would.

In fact, many would take it a slight to their ego if a man said that on the first date.

I think you have more progress to go before you internalize who you are in comparison to "other people".


"Most" women might not react as the one you are addressing - BUT - I am one of those who would!

"Playing ignorant."???? .. wow

I have a friend who recently went away for a week or so. In that time her husband actually Lost Weight!!! I seriously thought that (in the past) when he whined about not having any lunch (because she wasn't there to make him a sandwich!!) that he was joking!! Wrong! > He Needs her .. OMG he NEEEEDS her! Like a child Needs its mother - to survive! Ridiculous!

IF I had a PARTNER who became ILL or Disabled - Then and Only Then would I be comfortable with being so needed. Adults Can and Should do for themselves what they Can and Should do for themselves. I am So Not interested in being a grown man's surrogate mommy, babysitter, personal maid / bartender blahblahblah ..

*Note - I am NOT saying that I wouldn't Do Things for my man - I am talking about doing those things out of a sense of duty.

I like my own cooking a whole lot better when I'm doing it because I Want to.

For the poster who is marvelling over all these pages with (Some) women defending their right to independence and a preference for a man who Wants (us) versus Needs us?? Whatever! - on the other hand it could be viewed as a thread full of men who are threatened by women who can survive without them! lol .. so silly ..

Change the words on a profile from "Want a man" to "Need a man"?? NO Fvk'n way!!! That's a great way for a person to set themselves up as a Target by some control freak who can't make his own sammich!!!

Are we all here for the same reasons ???
Posted: 11/8/2009 4:21:04 AM

Having been on this site before and now returning because .... well sh1t happens!
I was looking around the profiles and seeing a lot of the old profiles and pictures i saw nearly 3 yrs ago. This is a dating site so why are they still here and still saying the same things.


I've been here > Off and On over that period of time.. Why do you assume that others (as you described) haven't been much the same .. On site .. find someone .. blahblahblah .. doesn't work out .. come back to POF .. etc ..

A Plugged up Toilet, so she packed up and left?! Should I let it go?
Posted: 11/8/2009 4:10:42 AM

Why does SHE get to be the one that dictates ...


Because YOU let her. There is a Good chance that this user/loser "woman" just doesn't respect you. Most of us Prefer a man with a backbone - that means that ALL those little issues you've "complained" about Here you Could have and Should have brought to her attention AND told her at the time: "This is MY House. As long as you're living here, Not paying rent - there are rules: # 1 - You don't "own" Anything here but what you brought in, that means "my" son Can take a crap in whatever toilet is free at the time. You are NOT a princess and won't be treated like one. # 2 - You have ___x___ time to Get a Job and/or find a way to CONTRIBUTE to At Least Your Share of the household expenses - esp the food YOU eat, the hygiene products you use, and yes .. That includes your damned fancy toilet paper." .. Blahblahblah .. and so on .. All those things you Complained about in your OPost Should have been discussed BEFORE you Let Her move in and take over and if Not before - then When the problems arose.

**You are Teaching your Son some serious lessons - Right Now.

**Change your locks.

**You KNEW how she was in a previous relationship - a "Princess". Sure she said that all he gave her was 'stuff' (car, etc) - BUT - She stayed and She Took.
**You KNEW she wasn't employed and you KNEW that she hadn't been for sometime. YOU Should have told her that you Expected her to find work so she can contribute to her own rent and expenses.

You have an opportunity to Learn from this. If you don't - you are doomed to a string of Princess (mentality) women AND you are (YOU) are messing with your childs development.

I can't imagine rushing a child at the toilet .. Can't imagine causing a child that sort of stress or b.s. when they are just trying to take a dam crap .. Ridiculous!

Grow Up
Man Up
Change the frikkin locks.

Agree with "most" of what you say Margo .. but ..


healthy human need of acceptance and understanding


is Not the same as "needing a Man" ( nor is it the same as a man who 'needs' a woman)

Of course as human beings we tend to be healthier (emotionally) when we have that sense of community - belonging/acceptance .. and for some the 'need' is greater.

Still isn't the same as "Needing" an individual (of either gender) ..

Have you ever fallen in love with a sociopath??
Posted: 11/7/2009 9:12:10 AM
Psychopath acts on opportunity / impulse

Sociopath Plans in advance and it isn't about 'what' they do - it is about "fooling", "getting away with", ie: Proving to themselves (and us) that 'they' are Smarter / In Control. **Historically there have been 'sociopaths' who have planned upwards of 5 - 10 years the 'crime' they believe they can 'get away with'.!!

Both have victims. For a sociopath, those victims may be Business Partners, Spousal/Partners, Children, Animals .. etc. - Most view others as Inferior, less intelligent and this (they perceive) as a Weakness - not to be protected, to be either punished or exploited.

A "sociopath" gets their sense of "personal power" by overpowering others - physically, mentally, emotionally or otherwise.

They are generally incapable of "feeling" normal emotion, often are like chameleons - they mimic what they see others 'do' that exhibits the desired emotion. I 'knew' one many years ago who was able to make himself Cry on demand!! (Laughing to himself because 'you' bought his ACT!!)

Many do start with abusing small animals. Of course "All" of those who have been (properly) diagnosed as "sociopaths" have not been proven to have abused animals in their past and Most sociopaths wouldn't admit to a Past Crime that "you missed" ..

It is a "Game" to a sociopath, no more no less. A very cruel Inhuman Game.

I "fell for" one about 15 years ago. For a while I blamed myself for not "seeing" him for who he is. Since then I have spoken with Trained Professionals (Psychologists, Psychiatrists, RCMP Investigators .. etc) .. I feel a whole lot better Knowing that Most (if not all) of them have difficulty discerning a sociopath.

**Many (proven) Sociopaths are capable of fooling lie detectors.

so .. don't feel bad if you do or have 'fallen' for one such being .. but - When you Know - get the Hell outta there!

Posted: 11/7/2009 8:45:15 AM

Maybe you need to check and see for sure that the red flag ain't run up on YOUR flagpole.
Right On CindyO!! :)

IMO - People who are threatened by those who don't "Need" them are probly not relationship material anyway ..
It's a lot easier (For Some) to fvk around on or with / and/or abuse people who "think" they "Need" them..

I know some wonderful men who are married to wonderful (independent) women who don't "need" each other .. They sure as hell LOVE and Want each other .. however because they are secure adults, they treat each other in a manner that is respectful and are all about Working "together" rather than using ultimatums which are very common in those relationships where one person feels dependent on the other.

And btw - it isn't about "semantics" - Want and Need are two very different words with two very different meanings.

I "Might" Need a man to use his brawn .. open a jar, lift the car .. lol .. .. but to survive? .. sigh .. sorry .. not unless we're both stuck in the same snow drift with the threat of hypothermia looming .. Then I "Might" Need his nekkin body to keep me alive .. for a bit .. but then .. a woman would do as well!!!

Men who are secure in themselves are not threatened by Women who are secure in their own selves.

And then there is the growing number of Single Parent females who NEED to be independent to raise their children .. it would be really scarey / inadvisable for a MOM (or a single Dad) to look in desperation for a partner because of some misconception that they "need" one .. Thats the sort of crap that IN THE PAST led to abuse - All Kinds of abuse ..

Nah .. I think I'll stick to the "feminism ..cough .. nonsense

"Need" - Implies "Required to Survive"

Personally I would LOVE a man who "Wants" me - as much as I "Want" him.

I am absolutely Not interested in a Man who Needs me to survive - That would be a "Parent/Child" relationship - I'm looking for a Man who can and does take care of himself. A "Partner" if you will.

A "Relationship" requires / Needs 2 people. An (adult) Individual does not.

Needs: Air, Food, Water (and in Most hemispheres) - Shelter.

Yes we tend to be 'healthier' mentally and emotionally when we have people in our lives, however 'Most' able bodied adults will Not die if left alone for a period of time.

There is a difference between Wanting and Needing someone. Generally 'couples' do Not "need" each other Until they have been partnered for a period of time, and even then it is Not always the case. I know several very Happy Couples who Love each other deeply and who Want each other in their lives .. but they are separated for various reasons, jobs etc for sometimes Long periods.

I'm over 50, been single for quite awhile. I am Vibrant, Happy, Active and for the mostpart content. If I "needed" a man to survive - I'd have been dead years ago! lol .. I DO Like and even Love Most men and I would absolutely Love to have a Man in my life, a Partner ... someone who is my 'soft place to fall' and someone who I am that to as well ..

People who believe they NEED to be in a relationship often find themselves in situations of abuse, control and misery. They are often the ones that (some) people look down on and judge as being "stupid" for staying in a Bad relationship. They are most often the same ones who post threads whining about the Opposite Sex and blaming 'them' for their own inability to find a date.

IMO - If people were brought up Knowing that they are quite OK whether they are coupled or not - there just Might be more Happy Couples out there.

JMHO!

and IF She said to you: "because i could care less about the profile, i met HIM on here HE knows it, i even gave him my password, i could careless about any other guy in the world i haven't touched it since may thats how it is."

Would YOU have accepted that? Nah .. I don't think so, cuz even After she deleted her profile here (according to YOU) - YOU are Still here! and You ONLY changed a Few things on your profile After several posters called you on it.

Flue shots are more dangerous than the flu itself!
Posted: 11/6/2009 2:16:25 PM

I beg to differ, most health care professionals decided to vaccinate themselves and their family


ummm... "maybe" where You are, however; that is Certainly NOT true in my area. In fact it's so close to 50/50 that it's safe to say - Half of the Health Care Professionals here have decided to vaccinate themselves. The Majority of them have made varying choices about their family members, depending on those persons ages, health condition and other risk factors.

Many health professionals I've spoken with have said "Absolutely Not", while others have said "Absolutely!" .. there's very few who are in that "maybe" camp .. but there are still those who haven't yet decided and aren't going to until they have more and more reliable FACTS - Not Fear.

**I Know 3 pharmacists in one pharmacy - 2 are NOT getting vaccinated. My doctor is Not getting vaccinated - Imagine that!

The H1N1 has killed 86 people in Canada so far, over an 8 month period. The Seasonal Flu Kills upwards of 2000 people Every flu season in Canada.

cough .. cough ..

Fear, Stress and Worry are far more detrimental to a persons health than the flu.

I hope that Everyone makes their own decision, using their own mind - based on INFORMATION / Facts and Not fear.



Have a Great weekend eh!

oh .. btw .. I thought it interesting that Here in Canada where we are SUPPOSED TO have Free Healthcare - IF a person is diagnosed with H1N1 and their doc prescribes the Tamiflu - it is NOT covered by any Government subsidy/programme or Insurance!!! YOU have to Pay out of pocket for it!! People on fixed and low income simply cannot afford to pay for this medicine.

Seems a little contrary to the propoganda our gov'ts are spreading about this "pandemic" .. cough cough .. IF they were serious about attacking this flu and/or stopping the spread - I would think this med would be covered .. MOST of those nasty pills that people are getting addicted to are covered ..

interesting how these pharmaceutical giants are able to "play" us, manipulate (through fear) and people flock without getting Informed ..

sad ..

# 1 - IF we can't Communicate - Openly and Honestly - He isn't gonna be my "lover"

# 2 - TRUST. You "found out" .. "stumbled across a piece of information" ??? Honestly - I don't care What it is you (cough) "Found out" - the way you put it - You don't KNOW that what you "Stumbled across" is Fact. At the very least - You don't KNOW how his mind works and / or IF this 'think' you "found out" is why he is


his bitterness towards relationships and probably why he cant or isn't ready to commit to me


There are soooo many possible reasons for why he (might be) appears "bitter" toward relationships, And it could be that he just doesn't want to commit (yet) OR to You.


what you do or how would you react if you found out something about your SO past that's having an indirect effect on your current relationship with him/her? but at the same time you are unable to let your SO know that you know the reason why...


it's having an effect on our relationship - We are gonna Talk about it and deal with it or I'm gone. I don't snoop around or Gossip, so there is very little likelihood that I would "stumble across" any information about my SO - IF someone chose to share that 'information', I see NO reason for not discussing it with my SO and I would most certainly tell him how I found out.

Where is your Communication?
Where is the TRUST?
Who are you Loyal to if Not your SO?
Why do people look for reasons why someone doesn't want them or doesn't want to commit to them, when the point is - They don't want to commit to you. Why really doesn't matter.

Games 'n drama .. secrecy and vagueness .. .. Not in my world.

STD/Mutual Testing Questions
Posted: 11/4/2009 2:22:58 PM
"Unprotected Oral Sex puts you at risk for numerous STDs"
http://std.about.com/od/riskfactorsforstds/a/oralsexsafesex.htm
"HIV
Herpes
HPV
Gonnorhea
Chlamydia
Syphillis
Hepatitis B
The research is inconclusive as to whether or not hepatitis B can be transmitted via oral sex. Oral-anal contact, however, is definitely a risk factor for hepatitis A infection, and it may also be a risk factor for hepatitis B. Fortunately both hepatitis A and B can be prevented by vaccines. If you practice rimming, you should talk with your doctor about getting vaccinated. Vaccination is a good idea in any case, and the hepatitis B vaccine is currently recommended for all children and many groups of adults."

and:

http://gayteens.about.com/od/sexualit1/qt/firsttime.htm
"here are lots of ways to have sex that don't involve penetration. Body rubbing, manual stimulation (which just means using your hands on a partner) and sex toys are all things teens may try out the first time they have sex.

All these activities are considered lower risk for STDs than are anal, vaginal or oral sex."

The only way that you can lose your hair with respect to the reproductive organs is if you keep spitting out babies like your body was a factory.


Wrong. And it is not the "reproductive organs" - it IS the hormone changes, imbalances and issues that most certainly Can and Do (In Some women) cause hair loss along with a myriad of other (possible) side effects.

Some women Feel ovulation, some do not. We are NOT all the same.

Strong opinions on pot smoking here and abouts; why?
Posted: 11/4/2009 5:04:58 AM
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffft eeeee'er


My experience with people who smoke pot on a daily basis is this!
No drive or ambition, lazy, no motivation, moody, dependent on the drug, self medicating for most likely a mental illness, poor hygiene, not going anywhere in life.


What?? you don't know a lot of daily smokers!! lol .. I smoked pot Daily when I was 13 years old and got Straight A's throughout my school years. Also - I was in the Canadian Military for 11 years and smoked pot Every day!!! (except for the first few weeks in basic training when I couldn't get any!) . Not only that but I got Glowing reviews on my Annual reports. No drive or ambition?? LMAO!!! you might be talking a small minority. As for "dependant on the drug"?? #1 Pot is Not a drug - it is an herb. Dependant?? I don't think so! MOST who smoke the herb can take it or leave it .. just like a person who has an Occasional beer .. cheezuz people .. you really oughta KNOW of what you speak before you post as if you do!! lol ..
Poor hygiene?? NOT and "not going anywhere in life"?? You do know that more than one current and previous presidents have admitted to indulging in the evil herb .. right? .. No motivation?? LOLOLOL .. yeah .. ok ..

How about we rewrite your judgement in order to cover FACT versus the propoganda you've been fed and obviously bought into:
"My experience with people who pop prozac on a daily basis is this!
No drive or ambition, lazy, no motivation, moody, dependent on the drug, self medicating for most likely a mental illness, poor hygiene, not going anywhere in life."
or this
"My experience with people who drink booze on a daily basis is this!
No drive or ambition, lazy, no motivation, moody, dependent on the drug, self medicating for most likely a mental illness, poor hygiene, not going anywhere in life."

People are DYING in our countries as a result of Prescription Pills, Crystal Meth .. and Alcohol abuse. Pot is NOT the evil you think it is. It's just a weed .. ffffffffft eeee'er

Is marriage necessary for a healthy LTR?
Posted: 11/4/2009 4:55:15 AM

So, my question would be to women..........why are you so obsessed with the semantics of a ring/marriage instead of the actual relationship?


cough .. that would be SOME women .. right OP?


This woman (me) does not fall into your "obsessed with semantics" group. I do Not believe in the institution of marriage, I Know that it doesn't make for a stronger relationship or a 'better' commitment.

Personally "Long Term" means just that - A relationship that lasts for a Long period of time.

My word is good, when we have that "exclusive talk" I figure that's all that's necessary. People are who they are .. paper and rings doesn't change that..

I still like a man who doesn't mind poppin fer the coffee though!!

A person that is willing to cheat on god by having sex before marriage, is surely capable of cheating on you.


OMG .. .. I think we're getting just a little carried away with all this .. seriously..

People who have Pre-marital or Non-marital sex do NOT become cheaters IF they marry a 'human' male!! holicrap!

IF you believe in "God" - then you believe that you were created by that "God" (of yours) .. IMO - continuously putting yourself or others down - Judging, guilting, manipulating or otherwise OFFENDING "Gods' Creations" - do ya think that's the "message" your diety wants you to spread?? "You're not good enough, you're nasty, bad, evil, sinner ..blahblahblah" ..

MOST of the "rules/laws" that I've read cited in this thread are HUMAN constructs (ie: manmade NOT "god") . .. MOST of the b.s. that is designed to create Fear or Guilt or any other feelings of being "not good enough" ARE of Human origin - Designed to Control You much easier.

That said - I often wonder, when I read these Judgemental / Fear Mongering posts - Where are all these "Christians" / "God fearing folk" when I'm trying to organize a Fundraiser to help those who are less fortunate?? EH?? Where are ya? Church? .. to quote YOUR book: "Faith without Works is empty." .. When I see You out there Helping those less fortunate, sharing and Giving to your fellow human being - Then I might lend credibility to what 'you' preach or 'claim' to believe The ONLY true measure of a persons belief is in their actions.

OT - IF those girls truelly Believed what they are spewing (after the fact) - they would Not have done the deed to begin with. IMO - they are Confused, f'd up and Not ready for a REal life human relationship.

I would rather Not be labelled "Christian" as I have found (in my experience) that they are the Most Judgemental and the Least likely to volunteer/give - Help the needy.

Flue shots are more dangerous than the flu itself!
Posted: 11/3/2009 1:23:04 PM

This ordinary "flu" has killed 100 people so far in its first wave in Canada. Its killed kids and teenagers. Flu doesnt do that. H1N1 is no joke.

If you mean the 'flu' doesn't "Kill" - Yes .. Yes it does.

Actually the "seasonal flu" may in fact have a higher Death rate than H1N1:
Dr. David Butler-Jones, head of the Public Health Agency of Canada, said between 2,000 and 8,000 people die every year from seasonal flu


The ONLY thing that sets H1N1 apart is that it has 'apparently' mutated into a New strain and means fewer are immune to it. It is NOT more deadly than the normal flu.

I think it may be interesting, 20 years down the road .. when people are realizing that this H1N1 virus actually Helped our bodies develop enough tolerance / immunity to deal with a Truelly deadly virus.

One thing that I think it truelly noteworthy is that the vaccine developers have been granted "Immunity from any liable resulting from this vaccine"! Now .. if that vaccine were safe - why would 'they' need protection from lawsuits?

Sex versus love
Posted: 11/3/2009 10:54:57 AM
Goodewitch -
Well it must be obvious and will become moreso, if this thread survives OP, that not everyone see's sex as some sort of functional recreational activity.
Some people do have sex as an expression of love, or caring about that person, as well as the more obvious reasons.
Just thought that needed pointing out.


I'm glad you pointed that out.

Further .. as for Sex being a "recreational activity" .. sure for some .. it probly is. Personally?? cough - I NEED to "know" who has their hot sweaty skin against mine .. I Need to know what kind of person 'he' is Before "putting out". I "might not" require the Big L word - BUT I DO require the "little" L word - Like .. There's gotta be a whole lotta like Before I get nekkid with Jed! ..

ick .. casual sex with a body I don't know?? ick ick ick! I Need to know that he has the sort of Morals and Character and Principles that won't leave me feeling Disgusted, Dirty and Regretting the 'occasion'.

Casual/Recreational 'flings'?? I have 10 Perfectly good digits for that! And I don't have to shave my legs!

To the young man ^^^ Up there who said he doesn't have sex with a woman he's not in love with - Good for You! .. Ignore the old fart who can't compete with you .. that's all it is you know .. and You've already won that little ego battle .. so ignore the nay sayers .. let 'em show who They are. You're just fine

What's the religious rationale for blaming someone else for your own weaknesses??


..That dam devil ..

I think it's a wonder that "some" humans get out of bed in the morning! Any good is because of some disembodied entity with a different handle depending on which hemisphere you're in! lol .. and Any bad is some evil dudes fault .. so where does "Free Will" come into the equation? ..

We are human. I think it is sad .. very sad when people torture themselves for being human. .. regardless of 'why' .. be it "sin" .. childhood messages .. TV .. Internet .. peers .. blahblah .. we get 'messages' from All directions on what is OK. Well .. IMO - If you're not hurting Anyone - LIVE!

I am sick to death of women with a few pounds on Judging ME! I've actually had 2 'big' women (who I did Not know) tell me they "hate" me because I'm "so skinny"!!! holibatcrap! unfrigginreal.

I have NEvER attacked a person who was overweight, but I have been offended plenty of times by a few who seem to think that I put that bubble on their butt! Nasty.

I wear glasses - you don't hear those of us with corrective lenses using THAT as an excuse for our dull dating lives .. do you?

.. CONFIDENCE is Attractive (regardless of your size) = Whining is Not attractive. If you take a look at who is in a relationship and who isn't - yu will see that there is Very Little (if any) correlation with size. OP - IF you want a date - Change your attitude.

I dated one guy from this site a year or so ago .. He had "christian other" or some such thing on his profile. When he messaged me I asked him what that meant to him. He told me it was because he'd been brought up catholic but he wasn't 'into that' now. blahblah .. The 'date' was 20 minutes in when BAM the bible quotes and the "Teachings of Christ" were being spewed at me! .. the Date ended at the 22 minute mark. yeah .. I let him have 2 minutes .. poor little fella is probly Still prayin for my "dark" soul!!! hahahahaha

ok .. first - it's "Flu"

This Just in: Fear more dangerous than flu shots Or flue shots Or the flu itself!

Q: How do you control a whole population?
A: Keep 'em scared.

Q: How do you get away with nasty business?
A: Distract those who would try to stop it.

Q: How do you keep 'em scared and distracted?
A: oink oink oink

Why aren't we hearing anything about the Military being made to get innoculated? IF this vaccine is so g.d. important - Why isn't it a priority for those who are mandated to Protect Us to get the vaccine? Is it ok if the pandemic wipes out our defense?

Dontcha think it's kinda odd that our troops aren't being "protected"?? >> Kinda adds to my thinking that this vaccine isn't as 'safe' as they'd like us to think.

How to prevent THIS type of hurt?
Posted: 11/1/2009 7:41:44 AM
The ONLY way to 'avoid' Any kind of hurt is to be comatose. Even then, I'm sure a person in a coma comes to some harm .. perhaps just not the romantic sort.

There are No guarantees.. There Are chances but only as many as you give yourself. And - even when the other person is Honest and feels the same as you 'in the beginning' - there is no guarantee 'something' won't change .. people do grow and it's very rare to find someone on the same path, for ever and ever anyway..

First Aid
Posted: 10/31/2009 9:15:51 AM
As to the tea, I have drank different teas for colds before. It helps loosen up my snout and ease the sore throat, but I can't say I got over the cold any quicker, it did help with symptoms though.


I was Not talking about "any" tea - Have you tried the specific Recipe I gave? Didn't think so. It Does work - Every time.

I have also used the Ocean/Sand to clean some pretty serious cuts made by "cluster shells" those are oyster shells that have grown together. Last time it was a Huge gash that most people would have gone to ER with for stitches and a tetnus shot. I never had to.

The combination of Salt Water and Sand (I'm talking about in Clean waterways) does work as a Wonderful -
The word "astringent" derives from Latin adstringere, meaning "to bind fast".
- I meant what I typed.

**I ONLY cite examples that have Worked for Me. Please also note the OPs disclaimer - re "medical advise" in these forums.

My little tips are things I have used over the years that have Worked (for me)...

Rather than nitpicking and critiquing my posts perhaps you have something to contribute to the Topic?

JWG86 - since you seem to Need to critique the Knowledge that some of us choose to share and since you do so without Completely reading that which you feel the need to "critique/correct" .. I can only assume that you are trying to 'look'/appear smarter. IF you Know something of first aid - why not share That information here? It might go further than your current style of participating in the forums. of course Age and Life Experience Might settle that down for you.

Til then, since You questionned my use of the word astringent in relation to the (Ocean) saltwater/sand treatment of wounds (at the shore) - here is a little more Information for you .. so you'll Know (next time):


Encyclopedia Britannica, 2008

astringent

any of a group of substances that cause the contraction or shrinkage of tissues and that dry up secretions. Astringents are usually classified into three groups according to their mode of action: (1) those that decrease the blood supply by narrowing the small blood vessels (e.g., epinephrine and cocaine), (2) those that abstract water from the tissue (e.g., glycerol and alcohol), and (3) those that coagulate the superficial tissue layers into a crust (e.g., metallic astringents, such as calamine or alum). Used in medicine to reduce swollen mucous membranes that result from inflammations of the nasal, gastrointestinal, and urinary passages, astringents are also frequently employed to dry up excessive secretions and (in this connection they are often known as styptics) to stop bleeding

Learn more about astringent with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Encyclopedia Britannica, 2008. Encyclopedia Britannica Online.
Cite This Source


please note in particular 2 and 3: 2 - "those that abstract water from the tissue" - SAND does that quite effectively actually AND it also tends to 'draw out' any other foreign substances/toxins. 3 - "those that coagulate the superficial tissue layers into a crust" Again - Sand does this as well.

Combined with that wonderful Ocean (salt) water - Sand is a Wonderful Astringent.

I would also add that Sand (from a Clean ocean floor) will Not cause infection should a little be left in the wound. FACT.

Why do men have to see you before trying to get to know you?
Posted: 10/31/2009 8:59:08 AM

We females are *sense* based.


Cough! .. lol .. do you mean "sense" as in "sense of smell", "common sense" ?? What "Sense" is this you think WE all use to determine a potential mate?

I am Female - I am Only One female though - so .. I cannot speak for anymore than just this one female - Me.

Human beings - Male and Female all have a "Dominant Sense". While it may be that the 'majority' of men are equipped with a Dominant Visual Sense - NOT All can be so stereotyped.

There are 3 (Primarily) Senses and each of us has One that is (mostly) Dominant .. the "one" we are Most inclined to respond to ..

- Visual (Sight - what we See with our eyes)
- Auditory (Hearing - what we Hear with our ears)
- Kinesetic (Touch - or more appropriately - "Pyhsical sensation"

Our *Emotions and our *Learning styles are Generally dominated by one of the above. Some People have 2 that are dominant and dependant on the external stimuli that 'they' are being introduced to.

Like I said earlier - I will Not entertain 'any' sort of ongoing/online "relationship" with someone I've never met. And YES "some" of that "attraction" is most certainly based on "looks" - However - That does Not mean that "My" definition of "attractive" is the same as anyone elses on the planet and it Certainly is Not defined by 'magazine' models! I like Big hands and I like a man who is bigger, broader/taller than me .. Smell is a Huge factor in Most human relations .. surprisingly so .. "Chemistry" is something you simply cannot equate via the computer screen.

Some men .. Some women .. We are soooo Not that easy to pigeonhole or stereotype .. Those who think in terms of "all men" or "all women" are Often disappointed and Frequently wrong.

Why do men have to see you before trying to get to know you?
Posted: 10/31/2009 8:08:26 AM
It isn't Just the men! I am Not interested in having a "chat buddy" a "pen pal" or an 'online relationship' - I AM interested in Meeting a real Live man and I Absolutely prefer to meet Sooner than later.

I "used to" think the emailing/chatting/penpals til we "get to know" each other was a Great way to go. I was wrong. ((For Me - I was wrong))

Couple notes, a LITTLE chatting, Phone conversations - Meet. Go from there.

When I First got online, I "met" a man (Online) .. we exchanged pics, chatted, emailed, talked (a little) on the phone .. We carried on this "getting to know you" (Online) thing for 6+months. We both "felt" and expressed Strong Feelings for each other.

Then we met.

Keeping it Impersonal / Online for too long Can create an Illusion for many of us. Sorta like falling for a character in a (well written) book. It just isn't real.

I'm here for the Real.

First Aid
Posted: 10/31/2009 7:54:53 AM
AWesome information ideoform!!! Thank You!

I am very much into the 'natural' remedies .. so here are a couple of my tips:

Pink eye / eye infection: 'splash'/rinse a tea bag with Hot water, then let it cool Some (so that it doesn't burn) .. lay back and put the teabag on the infected eye. This works like a charm on both pink eye and Most eye infections. NOTE: It also tends to stain the eye area, though it is relatively easy to clean up.

Colds: ((This Really Works!)) 2 cups of tea. No no no . .Not just Any tea .. here is the Recipe for "Cold cure tea":

Garlic (Fresh)
Gingerroot (Fresh)
Sage (*from your spice rack)

**A Good 1/2 teaspoon of each

Boil water, pour over above (in mug), let sit for 5 or 10 minutes (just cool enough to drink .. but still drink it fairly warm) .. Tastes like Crap! So - I cut it with Real (Fresh) Lemon and Honey (which are also beneficial to your health and also help with some of the symptoms)

1 cup in the morning and 1 at night. That's it. (2 cups total) **For more serious symptoms you might want to do this again the 2nd day.

Side effects? Gas. yep .. you'll fart for about 12 hours!! so I don't recommend this one before a "first" meet! lol

***If you are at the shore and cut yourself - Salt water and sand are Excellent astringents! They will clean the wound and (I have found) that wounds treated thusly heal much faster and leave very little scar (if any).

I know I'm not a man (that's fer sure!) .. But - I do have an opinion on this one ..

"Most" men are hardwired to be Protectors and "Most" men 'need' to feel "needed" and "appreciated". It would likely be more difficult for "most" men to get those needs met with a woman who is [too 'independant' ..

When I saw:
11 years without a serious realtionship..
I thought - HEY!! What are they doin talkin about Me!!! lol ((ok ok .. so it's Only been 9 years for me!)) lol

I have been in 'serious relationships' in the Past and I would Love to be in one now .. But - not just for the sake of being in one! For me to commit to a Relationship, there are some Key ingredients that Must be there, otherwise no. I'm not inclined to "Settle" for someone for now, forever or for 'until the One shows up'. I'm also "relatively" happy single, so desperation isn't likely to cloud my vision Or cause me to compromise my morals, beliefs or principles.

So agree with nexthyme on that sunscreen theory!! I NEVER use chemicals on my skin - no sunscreen, no pesticides .. if I use Anything it is a mild, scent free moisturizer .. I Do notice a difference if I don't get out in the fresh air And sunshine and believe firmly that it has to do with the Pineal gland/circadian rythm - sleep patterns as well as the Vitamin D that is created by ultraviolet rays reacting to my endocrin system - under the skin ..

I make a point of getting out at least once a day for at least a half hour .. usually it's lots more. When the weather is against me .. and I just can't get out - I up my Vitamin D3 intake .. seems to be workin for me!

Would like to thank ideoform for the great information and for presenting it in a way that is easy to read and understand~ Thanks!

Hey simplelife!!! .. thought you should know that "darlene" was referring to another poster who was Incredibly nasty, rude and just plain old gross! Despite several attempts from a few of us - he continued posting really nasty stuff in a Few threads .. so .. I reported him and "they" removed him, his posts, his profile and he is banned for life

Just thought you oughta know .. it's really too bad that the moderators didnt put a note in place of those removed posts .. like "Post removed due to _____" .. when they just delete posts (like in this case) it can cause confusion and even get people p'd off at each other .. .. sigh .. friggin internet!

OT - Be "on good terms" with the mother of your children ... I think that is best for Everyone - esp the children (who should be first priority) .. BUT - I do not recommend being "buddies" / Best friends with the EX. nope .. nope .. I don't think that's a good idea ..

JMHO!

I m still confused with my ex's decision

ok .. Wait. This guy does NOT represent Canada or any of 'our' "fashions"!! Sounds to me like he not only tried to break your spirit and confuse you - he also fed you a line of b.s. to excuse his own poor habits and behaviour.

Lifeisgoing - You have a lot going for you. Your education is so recognized in Canada! You CAN get yourself "stable income", you CAN find rent/apartments that you Can afford! and You CAN make friends!! What is this insurance you think you need?? Health?? nope .. If you have your Canadian Citizenship - go see a doctor. You Will be cared for. otherwise..

Look at it this way - Once you are Free of this pathetic guy - you will have a whole new Exciting Life ahead of you! a New job, new apartment, new friends!! yup .. You sure Can!

I very seriously suggest you get to know some of the women in your area - Many are on this site .. I've made some Excellent friends (women) from this site .. lol .. .. I've actually had a lot better luck making New (GOOD) Female friends here than I have finding a man! lol .. ah well ..

You Can do it! You can have a Wonderful life - Happy, Prosperous and with Very Good Friends. .. And I sincerely Hope that you will give yourself that chance.

Good Luck!

I am much less advocating the flu shot than I am advocating the WHY NOT? of a flu shot.


Why Not?? wow ..

1. It has NOT been Sufficiently tested to (a) Actually Work against H1N1 // (b) Time - NO ONE has Any idea what Future repercussions (health) there may be for those who have allowed themselves to be the Test Subjects for this vaccine.
2. Mercury levels are Proven to be UNSAFE.
3. Autism - More and More we are learning how vaccines have caused ever increasing incidents of Autism in our children.
4. Because it is JUST the flu. MOST "relatively" healthy people (even those who Do get it) don't suffer 'that much' and the Vast Majority not only get over the flu (H1N1) = but as a result of Not getting the vaccine Our immune systems are allowed to actually Improve and become stronger.
5. Vaccines may not 'weaken' your immune system but they do Prevent it from 'evolving' and getting better. and
6. The vaccine is an unknown, unproven agent .. I would rather puke for a few days than lose my ability to walk or speak for the rest of my life > It Has happened.

.. just for a Few of the reasons I'm NOT getting poison injected, sniffed or otherwise.

Why Not get the vaccine?? My question is Why get the vaccine? So far of those I've spoken to who feel they should - the Number One reason is Fear .. not information or Facts - Fear.

I personally feel (and strongly at that) that Fear is a really dangerous motivator.

COWARD ! - The Ignoring Game

When a person behaves in a manner meant to elicit ATTENTION, you have 2 choices:
1. you can play into their Game and give them attention (a thread like this one works)
2. you can be grateful that they've shown you Who they are early on so you can walk the other way without looking back.
