driving Posted: 10/29/2009 3:29:29 PM
I started driving in the countryside roads and then progressed from there. I was also a very timid driver but little by little and combined with a great driving instructor, I now have my own car. It's great having the freedom to go where I want, whenever. OP; Did you try to drive a vehicle with that has an automatic transmission? For new drivers, I have found that these types of vehicles are so much easier to control. Standard transmissions can add to the stress to learning your new driving skills-at least that's what it was like for me. Best of Luck!

Im not sure wether to call it off or try and fix it. Posted: 10/29/2009 3:11:54 PM
"too young...you're barely out of being kids." I agree! And ..... "Don't do it. Take this time to discover who you are and what you want out of life" Mothers KNOW what they are talking about! Heed thier words. I'm not a Mom but I'm so glad I listened to her when I got involved with whom I "thought" was "the one" when I was 20! Get out on your own, travel, experience Life, ENJOY your Freedoms ...And LISTEN to "The Elders"!

Why is it such a stigma to be an older bachelor? Posted: 10/29/2009 2:43:26 PM
"I haven't met a lot of Canadian women, but I have heard Canadian women are worse than American women." I've also "heard" a lot about Americans, Europeans, Asians, etc, and A LOT of the myths/misconceptions are NOT TRUE. I think it's time that you find your Passport (or get one) and do a lot more travelling. Best of Luck!

Why does this keep happening to me? Posted: 10/28/2009 5:00:18 PM
OP; Do not ask "why this keeps happening to me". Instead, ask yourself; "What have I learned from this mistake and what can I do to ensure that I do not allow it to happen again to me"?

"Both foreign wives and homes are much less expensive than their American counterparts, and neither are made with the same quality as they used to be!" Would these thoughts also include Canadians?

In this day & age, and after everything that's happened in History around The World in regards to Racism, etc, I often wonder why the question about Inter-Racial Dating is ever asked. How do you feel about dating Humans? Hmm? How about that?

Does life really begin at 40?? Posted: 10/28/2009 4:24:14 PM
"So long as you are not doing the same thing at 40 that you did at 20 then yeah, otherwise you are just trying to relive a youth that is passe now." I wholeheartedly agree! I DEFINITELY do NOT want to repeat the silly things I did in my twenties! I do not want to re-live my youth or try to be something I'm not.

"He mentions that he doesn't even have a house. ???" So what! A LOT of people do not have a house, a car or whatever materialistic item, and they STILL manage to lead happy & fulfilling lives. Perhaps the OP is SMART for leading the life of a Bachelor! As they say; "Love is Grand but Divorce is FIFTY (or more) GRAND!" People have the right to lead thier lives as they choose. However, NOBODY has the right to put down others because of personal preferences.

"I for one, wouldn't want to return to my 30's and I definitely wouldn't want to re-live my 20's". Me too! I'm actually looking FORWARD to turning the "Big Four-O" next year! This is what Forty looks like; Independent-even more so, Confident,-not caring as much as to what others may think. Turning Forty also means that I'm finally learning to NOT be afraid to be myself. I'm learning to accept myself-imperfections and all, and to find that special someone who's brave enough to accept me as well.

Will my new girlfriend (whenever that will be) accept me for breaking up from the familly? Posted: 10/28/2009 2:25:48 PM
OP; I can relate! About three years ago, I cut off contact with a few select extended members of my family for my own sanity & peace of mind as well, and to this very day, I'm very glad I did! If it means cutting off all contact with certain family members and doing whatever it takes, (even if it means calling The Police!)- so be it! Family or not, NOBODY has the right to bully/harass and/or abuse others. A person has every right to establish healthy boundaries. By the way OP, Good for you for holding your temper in front of the children! That shows A LOT of maturity, tact & responsibility on your part! All The Best!

Did I completly screw myself in dating because I don't drink? Posted: 9/16/2009 6:59:14 PM
OP; There are plenty of ladies out there who do not drink alcohol. Don't give up! I do not drink alcohol either and I do not have a problem with those that do, as long as it's fun, enjoyable & safe for everyone. I do not mind always being the Designated Driver either because that means getting my loved ones home safe & ALIVE. For those that do drink alcohol and have a problem with those that do not drink alcohol, then that's THIER problem. One must ask; "Are we Adults or are some of us still stuck in Junior High/High School"?

Three weeks ago, my cousin got married for the first time...and she's 43! "I have been told more than once that I have nothing to bring to a relationship since I have not had to deal with a husband or children." HA! I think those people who say that are just jealous of those who never married and had children. We have ALL THE TIME in the world to do what we want, whenever! We have PLENTY to bring to a relationship, it's called UN-DIVIDED ATTENTION!

It depends on the situation. EG: Disability, Terminal Illness, etc. There are many examples of Parents moving in with thier children due to economic reasons, abusive relationships, etc. In these days & times, you just never know or you think you know until it happens to you!

Why are we single? Posted: 9/16/2009 6:25:18 PM
"For me its not for lack of trying.." Me too! In responding to emails here, I've made my responses using a form of language in which I thought encouraged further communication with some form of intelligence and wit. I guess some guys are afraid of women who are somewhat intelligent, independent, confident, possess some level of class, courtesy & manners and are not afraid to say that they do not wear high heels! Sheesh! However, I'm not discouraged in the least. I just say to myself; "THANK YOU for helping me see that you were truly NOT WORTH the effort!" For me, it's a combination of fate, choice of situation and good ol' fashioned "Luck"! I think the true name for it is called "Life"!

REVENGE SEX. Posted: 8/27/2009 11:38:08 PM
"...some punk...friend of hers who got her drunk." This is just an excuse. Most people get drunk on thier own and by thier own choices. Revenge Sex? Geeze! First I've heard of this. Adults in age only! The Maturity & Responsibility level is obviously stuck in the teenaged years. A LOT of growing up that needs to be done. Good Luck with that!

Is having a car really THAT incredibly important? Posted: 8/26/2009 5:41:40 PM
There was a time where I did not own a car. I also biked/cycled (after an accident, I no longer do) and used public transit (and I still use public transit) to get to and from work. I also remember how I couldn't really go where I wanted to when I wanted, without consulting some kind of bus schedule and if the weather was adverse, this also involved swallowing my stubborn pride and asking someone for a ride. Grocery shopping, visiting, also involved some use of taxi-cabs, which are also costly. Now that I have my own vehicle, I go where I want, when I want. I do not have to worry about the amount of groceries/shopping I have to carry home because that's what vehicle trunks, backseats, etc are for. LOL! Having a vehicle has it's plus and minus-points. However, it's not right that people judge/make assumptions based on the lack of a material possession. Essentially, that's what a car is, a material possession.

The dreaded c0ckblock friend Posted: 8/26/2009 5:22:44 PM
"...but her annoying fat friend won't go away" It was usually the guys, handsome as well as self-centered, shallow-minded snobs, who were just looking for "a good time" and who ended being the "annoying JERK". I also recall in one guy ended up being a stalker to one of my friends. Absolutely NOTHING to be jealous of there! I have GREAT friends who are in all shapes and sizes and not once was I jealous of the attention they recieved while we were out nor did I do anything to delibrately stop thier having fun. Before we went out, we agreed that as Adults, we are responsible for our choices and if one of us decided to leave with a guy, that was thier risk and nobody was going to stop them. Saying that, and knowing that there are a lot of idiots out there, it had happened but it was very rarely that it did. There are A LOT of Women AND Men out there who KNOW HOW to act like a Mature, Responsible Adults!

Help me here - what to do after meeting a psycho? Posted: 8/23/2009 6:06:58 AM
I remember a time where I had to call Police to deal with a crazy family-member, although that was very hard to do, it HAD to be done! "I guess I can call the police, but I hate to do that to her..." You MUST call Police. Not only for your own safety but also for the safety of your family and your own peace-of-mind, especially if you have children. Look at it this way; if an intruder came into your home, what would you do? You know the answer-do what must be done. All The Best!

Dating a dad of an undiciplined child Posted: 8/23/2009 5:55:54 AM
It's very sad to see more & more children not being taught the important Life Skills of Responsibility, Consequences for Actions and that if you want something-you earn it! Children whom are given whatever-whenever they want, often grow into spoiled, self-centered adults. Adults who cannot take care of themselves and whom often blame everyone and everything around them. It's pathetic! It's one thing to not know how to raise children but quite another when some Parents KNOW what must be done to properly raise thier children but would rather "take the easy way out" and to NOT take the time & effort it often takes to prepare thier child(ren) for Adulthood. Children will behave as they are taught. They are never to blame for the stupidity & careless actions of Adults. I cannot help but feel sympathy for those children who are being raised so improperly because they are often in for a "rude awakening" as they enter thier adult years. I've also dated one or two gentlemen with spoiled-rotten, rude, out-of-control children and I also "ran like the wind". It's their "mess", they need to take responsibility for it and "clean it up"!

men that love big women Posted: 8/22/2009 5:01:51 PM
"...I personally think anyone 100lbs overweight is disgusting." That's YOUR opinion. Everyone is entitled to thier opinion/preferences. However, what's really Disgusting is the way some people will treat/behave towards you according to your wieght/appearance. As a person who has lost over 75 pounds in the past year and a half, I KNOW what this is like! Funny how some people will practically ignore you AND/OR basically treat you like trash, until you lose wieght. I have learned that people who behave like two-faced, fair-weather-(or rather "fair-weighted")-"friends" are self-centered, untrust-worthy, immature idiots....and THAT behaviour is absolutely DISGUSTING!

Why do women fall for players? Posted: 8/19/2009 2:54:38 PM
"But the main thing for me is, --most-- "nice guys" Just aren't my type. Psysically" It's the nice guys (and gals!) who do not meet the false idea/criteria of perfect beauty and/or phyical attractiveness who often get passed over by shallow & snobby individuals. Truly it's a blessing in disguise! After all, who would want to associate themselves with self-centered persons? Smart people who have a good sense of what matters in Life and whom are caring, thoughtful, kind, respectful and whom are able to treat others equally, KNOW that nice people come in all shapes & sizes!

When will it happen for me? Posted: 8/19/2009 2:39:55 PM
OP: I was able to be alone into my late twenties and into my thirties. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be. Most people that are in thier late twenties, early thirties are either getting married for the first time, or having thier children and settling down. Once the "Dream" hits Reality and then things get really complicated and incredibly busy beyond belief, you may hear a lot of your married friends wish that they were single again. Cue the late thirties and early forties and beyond, the typical ages of people when most divorces happen, and you may really hear the regrets and "war stories". Then as a single person with no children, you may really be admired for the strength, courage & patience it takes to not settle for just any relationship. If a person cannot and/or will not be comfortable being by themselves, then how can they be comfortable in a relationship?

I did not expect to be single at this point in my life either. Someone stated that it was by choice we are single this "late" in our lives. In some cases yes, in others, absolutely NOT! For example, Does a person choose to have thier mates cheat on them and destroy thier relationships? Does a person choose to be abused and/or beaten until they are black and blue? Life happens, circumstances happen, Change happens. It's a matter of how people DEAL with thier lives. It's NEVER too late!

Did you know? (New Law Passed June 12 2009) Posted: 8/11/2009 10:56:08 AM
Manitoba has passed a law banning talking and texting on cellphones while driving. The bill quietly passed on June 12 during the last day of session at the Manitoba Legislature, but the province plans to launch an awareness campaign before the new law is enforced. "This is going to be a culture shift for Manitobans so we want the opportunity to have a media campaign about the changes so that everyone knows what to expect," said Labour Minister Nancy Allan. Samantha Charran of CAA Manitoba says the organization is happy leaders have recognized the risk of using a cell phone while driving. "In fact, distracted driving is attributed to about 20 per cent of accidents in Canada every year," Charran said. The new law excludes hands-free devices, such as car speaker phone adaptors. Four other provinces have planned similar electronic bans, including Ontario and Quebec. Distracted Drivers are a danger to everyone & I'm certainly not against cell-phone usage, however, I'm happy to see that Manitoba has finally passed this law. Thoughts? Ideas? Discuss...

Do you hold back in forums to improve your profile? Posted: 6/29/2009 3:45:56 PM
Sure, I hold some things back because I view Forums as the another form of conversation, it's the same as a discussion/conversation in person. Do I care what others think of me-absolutely not. However, a person should be very careful as to how they present themselves online. In my opinion, Behaviours/Actions speak louder than words, on & offline. I'm not going to wildly go around and say whatever comes to mind, whenever, and use profanity, name-calling, all-capital letters (as this is equal to shouting) etc, in my message/post because "I-felt-like -it-and-I'll-say-what-I-want-and- if-you-don't-like-it-tough!" That kind of behaviour just displays a complete lack of maturity and intelligence. Sure, there are days and times when I really want to swear, etc, and tell that person "where to go" but there's a way of doing this with dignity, self-respect & decorum. This topic reminds me of a good saying; "THINK, Before Speaking" or in this case; "Think before The Online Post/Blog/Chat, etc".

"major RED FLAG unless you always planned to stay single and never intendid to get married." HA! By now, I was supposed to be married and living "happily ever after" in domestic bliss but Life happened! I never "intended" for Life to happen nor am I going to feel guilty about Life happening to me. It is, what it is! Whenever anyone, especially "marrieds", asks me the question "Why", I turn the tables on them and ask; "Over forty, married and with children, what's the matter and/or what's wrong with YOU? Why didn't you stay single and enjoy FREEDOM?! Are you crazy? Etc" It's fun to watch thier reaction!

I'm not afriad to ask a guy out. However, only when the time & place is right. I'm certainly not one to go around and bluntly ask outright to whomever & whatever, but if the gentleman is showing a genuine interest in me, then I'll ask if he would like to go out for a coffee, etc. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not. It can be frustrating at times, always being the one to be the first to "take the Bull by the horns" but the experience certainly makes Life entertaining!

I could care less how much "Education" a person has, etc. There's a lot of pompous, snobby, "Educated Idiots" out there who think they are better than everyone else because of thier framed "piece of paper".

Level of Education says NOTHING about that person's character, values, manners, courtesy, etc. Blue collar, white collar, etc, it takes all kinds of people to make this world work and NOBODY is better than anyone else!

I'm NOT interested in dating a younger man-ever! I had a couple of eighteen year olds view my profile and I felt absolutely ill! NEVER in a million years would I EVER consider dating a kid, because that's what 18 year olds are! I recall what I was like when I was 18 and into my twenties and I had A LOT of growing up to do! What makes these kids think they are any different? In my opinion, Maturity can be found at every age but RARELY is it ever found in those who are aged 18 to 20-something. And for those who think us "too old" to do certain activities/sports/etc, certainly have A LOT of growing up to do!!

Drinking and first dates Posted: 5/18/2009 6:33:15 PM
"I do not drink alcohol at all, but would say it is a very very bad idea to mix alcohol with a first date." I do not drink alcohol at all either, nor do I have a problem with others drinking alcohol around me. If a person feels that they need an alcoholic drink or two to "loosen up", that's thier choice. On the other hand, if a person drinks alcohol to the extent of becoming obnoxious and perhaps demanding/pushy/violent, I do not want to be around that person. I'm able to relax, be myself and have a good time whether people choose to drink alcohol or not. Most people can have fun & enjoy thier alcohol without endangering themselves and/or others.

Positive Words of Wisdom or Advice To New Fishers From Those Who Are Already Here Posted: 5/18/2009 6:12:14 PM
Don't expect things to progress instantly. It will take time & patience. Lots & lots of time & patience! As well, a person must also make the effort in making that "first move". There's no rule in stating that the lady MUST wait for the man to make first contact and vice-versa. If things do not work out, as they say "try, try again". Pay attention to what's not being said and use your common-sense. Do not allow others to waste your valuable time. EG: After a while, you and the other person agree to meet in person for the first time and this person cancels. Later, you make another attempt and the other person states that "something has come up". Most likely, there is "something up" and it's usually called "Husband/Wife/etc". Most of all, have fun but please play it safe! Arrange your first meeting in a public place and no matter how well things are progressing, never, ever allow yourself to be lead into a "compromising situation". All The Best!
