Do men still look for old fashioned girls? Posted: 12/16/2007 11:06:59 AM
Just wanted to comment on what a great description of "old fashioned girl" --- what a gentlemen you must be!

Was I wrong? Posted: 6/1/2007 5:32:12 AM
No you are not wrong. In reading your post you had only read the person's profile and began chatting. It is difficult to raise your own children, mesh a step-family and then finally get some time for yourself. Been thru it, done that! You might, however, explain to the gentleman your situation and consider being a friend. Everyone needs another friend, if for no other reason, than another objective opinion. I commend you for your honesty. Best of luck, Tricia

Are looks that important?? Posted: 5/19/2007 12:56:59 AM
I still say No looks are not that important! But there again, I don't have my pic posted. But there are those on this site who have seen me and will tell you I am who I describe. I personally look at Smoker, because I am a smoker, I will not contact a non-smoker. If they contact me I will then discuss situation. I read the profiles, age, and location. If that all seems to click then I will contact them. Some I let know up front I enjoyed profile, sense of humor, etc. I also like to contact those from the forums as I enjoy the responses from all. Looks ............... if all else clicks then, I agree, can be the deal breaker. But being true to form I still say the beauty or ugliness comes from within. Just my humble opinion. I guess since I finally have a pic stored in the camera I will now have to post it so everyone believes I am not purple and from outer space. Smiles to all Tricia

Avocado Recipes & Uses Posted: 5/16/2007 4:02:35 AM
My Guacamole Recipe: 2 mashed avacados 1/2 c finely chopped onion l/4 c finely chopped pablano pepper (or you can use jalapaneo pepper) l/4 c salsa (I prefer Pace) l/2 t lemon juice l/2 t worchestire sauce l/2 t garlic salt and pepper to taste NOTE: depending on size of avacado you may need 3 Mix all together Use as dip, or my family loves this as a topping for a nice grilled steak. I also take avacado, peel, cut in l/2, remove the seed and fill with tuna salad, add a couple of sliced tomatoes and you have a great meal. Also like to slice avacado and add to BLT's, great.

New Feature for Women. Posted: 4/28/2007 1:19:06 PM
Look and Listen, please....................... After going back and re-reading all of the comments, I think this DO NOT DATE LIST should be completely removed from the site. It is unfair, leaves too much room for vengefulness and disrupts the environment we have all enjoyed on POF. I say thanks to the ADMIN for trying to help protect women. Ultimately, however, that is up to each of us. I would just prod each of you who disagree to send a message to the powers that be to please reconsider and remove the DO NOT DATE LIST. Thanks fellow POFers

I figured out the girls on POF Posted: 4/28/2007 12:39:43 PM
***Ok so I've figured out how the girls on POF work.*** The one thing I have learned in 55 years is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER generalize about the sexes! We are all unique. Yes there may be some similarities but each person is unique. Perhaps its all in the approach. I tend to return e-mails simply because I think it is the courteous thing to do. Perhaps, that individual may not be someone I would be interested in dating, but could well become a wonderful friend or pen pal. The key to any relationship is still communication. Some will not talk without a pic, some will. My suggestion would be enjoy those who do respond and go from there. Happy

It seems to me not to be a great idea. There are many women here who have women favorites (friends only) but how many are in the same geographical area? Unless you are in the same geographical area and looking ............... what is the use admin? I appreciate all you do to improve the site. However, this addition seems confusing and needs to re-vamped into something different equitable for all.

I thought a rose was an appropriate thought. The winks are ice breakers, plain and simple.

My ex is pregnant but doesn't want me in the picture, gets complicated... Posted: 4/5/2007 9:13:43 AM
Anytime a situation of this nature occurs there are problems. IMO, the first thing is to get DNA paternity established. You must consider that once a child is born, that child's right is to know each of it's biological parents. However, that situation can be just as stressful for a child. You will be tied to this woman for life, IF the child is yours. Consult with an attorney, take a parenting class and see if you can locate a mediator willing to deal with all parties concerned. It seems to be there is an epidemic of women in this country, currently, having children and not really knowing who the father is. Watch Jerry Springer! I find it sad that so many are so unsure of who fathered a child and also feel for the men going thru sheer hell wondering IF it is their child. These women also need a lesson in yes they carried the child, but they don't have sole say-so. It should be a shared burdon by both parties. Just know that this child deserves to be loved, supported by each without accusations and talk of unfitness. Go for joint custody and never speak ill of the other in the child's presence. Teaching by example comes back to you in the end.

Camoflage rings? Posted: 4/2/2007 5:56:42 AM
If a question, ask. Nowadays, so many women are not wearing a traditional set of wedding rings or bands. The styles vary so much depending upon personal choice. I find it diffiuclt to determine if they are wedding bands or not. So just ask. It could be an old set of moms, or grandma's, or even better, they just may not fit on another finger.

Gee, I ask myself that question nearly every day and have decided it's my life and I'll do what I want to. Any man worth having, or woman for that matter, should be able to understand your feelings and abide by them. If not, dump them. But I would suggest you take more time to get to know them and let them know by "fun" you don't mean a romp in the hay. Perhaps you should spend more time getting to know them by email or phone upfront. I said it before and I will say it again, ask questions, ask questions, ask questions.......................smiles.

Virgos Posted: 3/25/2007 12:12:57 AM
I think it interesting to find what someone's sign is and then compare their personality traits to those associated with their signs. More often than not they tend to exhibit many traits as listed. Virgo men give the appearance of being quiet cold and can be. But at the same time most I have known are extremely analytical, intelligent and tend to be great lovers. They also tend to leave a lasting impact on your life. They also tend to have many scorpio traits, one being loyal. Virgo men/Scorpio women seem to be a great mix or at least have been in my experience.

The truth and the whole truth regarding rings is this GET HER WHAT SHE WANTS, if it is out of your price range, ya'll be creative about how you finally get it --------------loose stone, then mounted, resale, auctions. This is something she will wear for a lifetime..............her input is critical.

Touchy subject...single fathers in family court!!! Posted: 3/21/2007 4:28:27 AM
JUSTICE IS NOT JUST ! My advice is to understand the court system in this country. It is the good ole' boy system. Find an attorney in good stead with the Judge hearing your case and see if you can't make a deal. Most of these cases are already decided in many ways. The key is to have the right representation. And it truly hurts my heart to say it, I always believed it wasn't who you knew, but what you knew............WRONG. I would also like to interject that there are good and bad parents of both sexes. Just because a woman is a woman does not mean she should have custody of those children. I have known some wonderful men who are single parents. Check in your appropriate states to see if there is any kind of group that supports Equal Rights for Fathers, if not, you might consider contacting Texas Fathers for Equal Rights for some info about organizations helpful to men in your state. Good Luck.

Girl claims that i'm the father of her child. I don't want to pay. Posted: 3/21/2007 4:07:22 AM
First before telling anyone to deal with their responsibilities...............there needs to be confirmation of dna ..................if you are the father or not. Second, this seems to be a growing epidemic of those girls/women who conceive children and don't know who the father is. I can understand why a man who only had a short encounter with someone, sounds like sex only buddies, would not be pleased to become a father. However, IF the child is yours it seems you have a few options. l} file for custody 2} pay court ordered child support or 3} consider giving up your parental rights, but that will be tricky if the gal is only after your money. Wow............what a mess.

Your Coolest Friends Feature. Posted: 3/17/2007 2:42:15 AM
I think some would prefer that they not be linked to others, not because they have something to hide, but rather some of it comes down to privacy issues. Particularly if you have a stalker type of person out there. Think about it. Sometimes a little bit of information is dangerous. Some of us don't have pics posted due to our professions. Not everyone who doesn't have a pic is a dog.

Would you date someone that is taking care of a elder parent? Posted: 3/2/2007 5:30:25 AM
YES in all capital letters! I was one of those also blessed with 2 wonderful parents and am only child. My mother had liver cancer in 94 and passed in less than a month. My father was about month later told he had spinal cancer. I took care of both of them prior to death and was with each at their passing. To be honest, I was privilidged to have been able to have those last days and conversations with both of them. My x and I seperated during the illness of my mother,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, he simply couldn't handle it, I also had 2 children, as well. Personally, it takes a strong person to be caregiver both emotionally and physically. It shows the true character of the person, imo. Life is full of twists and turns, life and death -------- and is ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so short. To me family must come first. The balancing act is difficult, speaking from experience, but in all truthfulness, I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to have been able to care for each of my parents. To those of you who would not date someone in that position, perhaps you should take a 2nd look at your perspective. Blessings to all

Was married l7 years .............. had husband who cheated............... had our own kids, yes they were hurt. But now ------------ l3 years later ------ the sweetest revenge is that I am much happier, much stronger, and very independent. My children have sense gotten into the open their feelings with their father ............. that was their place and right to do. I can't see ever hurting an innocent child. You must move on and it sounds like you haven't. Life is too short to worry about something that occurred l8 years ago. Oh, and in closing, the x and I do have a very civil relationship .............. but that is of my choosing.................... I figure I was the adult back then and will continue to be. I leave the judgment and punishment to the man upstairs. Blessings and peace.

How do keep yourself from becoming bitter? Posted: 2/25/2007 5:50:51 AM
I try to remember that all of us are on a journey and life is full of changes. One door closes and another opens. I am a firm believer that people enter our lives for a purpose. Perhaps we, ourselves, have a lesson to learn. Perhaps that person needed us for a period of time or vice versa. Bitterness is akin to a virus that takes over our being IF we allow it to. I just try to remember that this lifetime is oh so short in the whole scheme of things. Just learn, cry, kick scream or whatever it takes to get over it and then move on with another bit of experience under your belt. Life is what we choose to make of it. Just smile and become comfortable in your own skin others will see that and you will eventually find someone you can enjoy life with. Happy fishing to all.

I talk to everyone pic or not IF they peek my interest. Too much hinges on looks............prefer to find the real person first. Tends to weed out those just looking for good looks as opposed to the interior. Once had a man drive from Amarillo to meet with me (no Pic). He said he simply couldn't believe anyone was honest anymore. As I told him, yes some of us are. I am whom I say and that's the end of that. I might add, he was pleasantly surprised and after our very nice lunch I received several days later a very nice note, a dozen yellow roses and we talked for some time. Sometime after that he was transferred overseas but I still keep in contact. To each their own, just don't rule out someone simply because you can't see them. You may be missing that BIG FISH. smiles and luck to all

I believe the truth is always the best. There are many reasons for ending a situation, but it just isn't working out should be sufficient. can't speak for others, but I want to be able to live with myself at the end of the day. If you are too cowardly to do it in person, at least an e-mail I try to treat the other person at least as I would like to be treated. Sometimes that is hard in today's world, but always worth the shot unless they are clearly psyco ......... and you might want to consider moving to another state Best of luck to all.

I don't see why it should be a problem writing to more than one person. Aren't we all adults here? Just like I don't think it should be a problem dating more than one person, IF you are honest about it. I think many adult persons date more than one person until they decide to be exclusive with one person. I just don't think it is a problem. Smiles and Good Luck

Ann Richards Posted: 9/14/2006 5:05:04 AM
Putting politics aside, Ann Richards exemplified in life the fact that what we choose to overcome we can. Coming from poor beginnings in Texas she overcame problems only a few to include alcoholism and the struggle with cancer. She recognized it's nice to be a have a pretty face but even better to be smart! She was a strong woman with personality and drive. She tempered her thoughts with humor and had a kind heart. As a mother of 2 girls l9 and 20 I can only hope they take a page from her book and strive to be independent, strong women with minds of their own who continue to realize each of us are human with both strengths and weaknesses. Ann Richards in many ways was a true Pioneer. We have lost a great spokeswoman for women everywhere ---- may God keep her and her family are in my prayers. Thanks Ann for showing us Texas gals have both spunk and class, many times when the chips are down.

Now that you're older, do you feel different about relationships? Posted: 4/12/2006 8:44:11 PM
I too believe all good, lasting relationships start out as friends and progress. Not so sure that I feel any different about relationships, as much as, I feel different about myself. What I will accept and what I won't tolerate. Guess in many respects I am old-fashioned in that I believe the man should be the head of the house --------- but that doesn't mean he should control me or walk on me. Nothing wrong with wanting the "Fairytale". I still believe it exists with the right person and will continue to look until I find it. Wants to grow old with that special person that can enjoy all life has to offer and has the ability to hang in there thru the bad times as well. Good luck all.

Did i get what i deserved?? Posted: 4/9/2006 6:03:09 AM
In my experience, things are not often one-sided. Don't agree with her going with this guy after a week, IF, she really only knew him one week. You may have given her the out she needed. It is difficult being a stay-at-home mom and demanding. Physically, emotionally and sometimes financially. Many men don't really know all that is required. Sounds as thou you have a decent take on it......but as much as you have expressed your attitude about here laziness, have to wonder if you expressed it to her too, over and over. Didn't spend a lot of time with her, perhaps she didn't express all of her needs to you as well. At this point, your focus should be the welfare and happiness of your child and sort the adult matters out in the best ways you can to have the least amount of impact on your child. I suspect, neither of you were happy. Sometimes we don't realize what we truly have and appreciate it until it is gone.. Best of Luck

In all Honesty.... Posted: 4/4/2006 5:26:17 AM
Think most of us think about what "Do you use drugs" ..........implys.........in my profession, i see the results of those who have caused themselves and their families such heartache over the use of 'ILLEGAL' drugs. I think most here consider that to mean they are not interested in having a relationship with anyone involved in those circles. Some are very mind-set, particularly those who have had close contact with someone whose life has been turned inside-out over those problems. I don't consider prescribed meds as a problem. However, if a person were to tell me, they take yada,yada, yada, i would be inclined to ask (particularly, if I knew what some of the drugs were prescribed for). One gentlemen I talk with, simply says do you take any mood-altering medications? That leaves room for some guessing, but sorta gets to the point. In my opinion, that is why it is important to ask many, many questions. But, also have seen many problems with those that over indulge in some legal drugs and alcohol. So just best to ask, ask and ask again. Luck to all
