TAMPA/BRANDON/RIVERVIEW Halloween Party at Hooters October 31st … Posted: 10/28/2008 3:58:05 PM
It looks to be fairly chilly this weekend, so I'll not be likely to wear my hot dog vendor costume... (Bachelor Party, anyone) I'll also not prove my level of geekdom by bringing my lightsaber (Get your mind out of the gutter or give me your phone number)

My Ex Girlfriend invited me out to dinner, how do I approach this? What can I expect? Posted: 9/24/2008 5:31:14 AM
1 If you want to give her a rose... you could do all the research on what the colors mean or.... you can just get her one in her favorite color (if she doesn't know the color meanings, then that detail will be lost on her) 2 be friendly, but not too friendly. take things slow. Have a pleasant evening and be cordial. 3 DO NOT bring up the past with her. remember your issues from the past, work to correct them, but don't bring them up to start a fight or get into the blame game. 4 dinner is dinner... not a promise, not an offer. If it does turn into an offer... well, I'd be hard to turn that away, but it would probably be best if you played it off and made another date to do so.

How do grudges form?...and what fuels them year after year? Posted: 9/24/2008 5:22:24 AM
One of my favorite quotes from a book was: Women never forget and Men never forgive. I bore a grudge against a girl from highschool for 20 years. Hadn't seen her for 20 years. The first time someone mentioned her name, I was instanly pissed and it took me a while to actually remember WHAT she did that got me so angry with her. Once I sat down and thought about it for a while, I realized that a portion of it was my fault (then) and the issue wasn't a big deal in retrospect. My immaturity at the time made me angry and I only recalled the anger. I have since dismissed my grudge and we are friends again (I will not loan her money again though )

Men that have been single for a long time are looking for mostly intimate encounters! Posted: 9/22/2008 6:05:19 PM
I have a fair group of friends that are all early to mid 40s, male, divorced within the last 2 years. List of types: Burned from a 12 year marriage, where the wife stated that she never loved him. Now is gun shy of making another commitment on short term relationships. "If we can't date for 2 years, we can't be married for 20" manic depressive that was "taken to the cleaners" and he has made it even worse by his attitude. ONLY wants a FWB, start talking about dating and he is out... Needs more therapy Falls head over hells for the current girlfriend, 4-6 months into relationship discovers that they aren't really compatible and dumps her and runs. Everyone knows that he is just trying to replace his last relationship, but he isn't being choosey while dating. Player... Has been a player since 14 years old and is only interested in the hunt. Once he was married is still a flirt, but doesn't stray. He has a poor view of women in general and only thinks of them as replacable possessions. Too picky, every girl is compared to this ideal: Type A, successful, model appearance, intelligent, ambitious, strong character. He finds them, dates them, then discovers that they are also self-involved and doesn't have the personality to massage his ego. Really just looking for a good woman, but doesn't know what he wants. Hates dating. wants a permanent relationship but is insecure and fears rejection. Makes him fear committment

Should I try to help, or just ignore it Posted: 9/19/2008 7:29:59 PM
Ignore it. You can't insulate people from their mistakes. That being said, He might just happen to enjoy his tumultous lifestyle. Even if every girl he has dated is honestly and completely evil, it doesn't make him an idiot.. He might be an easy mark, but it isn't about money. If it makes him happy, then let him be and support him when/if the walls come down again. Offer him some advice and just be his friend. (a pre-nup might be a real good idea...)

That is an old joke.. Why do Canadians do it Doggie-Style? So they can both watch the hockey game. 1) learn to multi-task 2) jump on it at half time, pregame and post game 3) TIVO is your friend 4) what is more important watching a bunch guys play with their balls, or have your girl play with yours.

Please give me your take on this... Posted: 9/16/2008 12:33:51 PM
I have a whole Boys club of newly single men (myself included) and we have seen some of us fall hard for one girl and then 4 or six months later determine some dysfunction that caused a break up. One of my friends is a LMHC and he promotes his 3-6 month rule... That anyone can act in a given manner for only so long before their natural personality re-asserts itself. "He used to call me every day" "She used to be more attentive" "He keeps leaving the seat up" "She compains at me constanly now" Once the honeymoon is over, then you are actually dealing with the real person... Plenty of reason to take all the time you want to make sure it is real. Is there some reason that the other partner is in a hurry?

Anyone tried the Brady Bunch approach to dating? (mixing children from two families) Posted: 9/15/2008 10:18:19 PM
Mixed parenting styles is a difficult position to be in. I understand your dilemma. My ex was a pushover as well and I was the authoritarian. She would create some rule, I would enforce it, the kids knew that they couldn't budge me so complained to her. She would cave in and all of them would call me an ass. Since we have seperated and she has to be authoritarian in her home, the kids run all over her. She see it, hates it, and can't control them. While they are with me... no issues (beyond the typical kids will be kids stuff) First things, first... HER KIDS ARE HER PROBLEM. You are not their dad and even if you are married, you will be 3rd in line (mom, their real father if present, and then you) Second NEVER YELL AT HER KIDS, if there is a problem, tell the mom and explain that that behavior isn't tolerated in your home. Explain that you do not blame her, that it is an issue of the childs' actions, but as you wouldn't tolerate that from your kids, you will not from hers, at least while in your home where that bad example could rub off on the other kids. Third, OFFER ADVICE if it is welcome, but do not preach at her. You cannot make her change, but she might recognize the problem and not know what to do about it. Offer your suggestions. Offer her the option of a parenting class... Single parenting is hard, especially if the single parent can't stand up to conflict. Fourth, DO NOT BE THE BAD GUY FOR HER. See rule #1 If you step in as the bad guy up front, her kids will resent you and then if you ever break up, the kids will see that sabotaging the mother's relationships is another way of getting control back. Fifth, if you do work it out and blend the family, all the kids are to be treated equally and consistently... neither parent can treat the others' kids different then their own. It places an artifical rift in the family that can and will be exploited by these little demons until they learn how to act like adults. The parents will need to work out the rules of you will parent together... You cannot spank one group and never spank the other (for example)

Good looking women and sex Posted: 9/15/2008 9:57:39 PM
This is just a false classification. Women are women, regardless of their appearance. and a shallow personality can be anywhere. I've know georgous women that were absolute nymphos as well as horribly repressed... the same for "less attractive" ladies. The issue is what would allow a woman to have more self-expression or adventure. I'd assume that the primary causes here are self-confidence and personal choice... and that can be enhanced or repressed by many factors, not just physical appearance. Just because a woman might be confident enough to request a specific act, doesn't make her actually want to do it or enjoy doing it.

numb to dumb questions Posted: 9/15/2008 5:00:14 PM
enjoyment in sex is more often than not tied to emotions, expecially in women. If you can enjoy sex alone, but not with your chosen partner (and the partner is working your system) ... the problem is most likely in your head, whether you know it or not. If you get no enjoyment at any time under any circumstances, then you have the possibility of a physical condition... but I'd still put money that it is still in your head.

sex on drugs Posted: 9/15/2008 4:54:26 PM
In my wild youth (high school) I did acid 3 times: 1 for a Pink Floyd concert 1 the weekend prior to my enlistment in the Army 1 for a marathon sex night In regards to the sex night... it was all night long of constant.... constant. When we finally went to bed and woke up late the next day, we spent the following day with ice packs on our heads and ... elsewhere. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but would probably been better spent on a good bottle of wine (and lube )

Is it possible to be friends with an ex after months of not talking? Posted: 9/15/2008 11:08:02 AM
The longer it goes, the easier it SHOULD be. You get on with your life and your ex gets on with their life... Eventually, you should both get over any resentment and animosity between you and you may discover that the basis of your original friendship (assuming you had one) is still there. I have been seperated from my Ex for almost a year and a half now. We seldom see each other beyond a few minutes during child hand off or at "family" occasions of birthdays or kids events. Occasionally, we will talk of parenting issues and time/event management. However, there are times that I can tell when she is out of sorts and/or has something on her mind and we can still be friendly with each other at need. About a year or so ago, she told me that she had never been happier since we seperated... I thought that was a damn heartless thing to say. A few months later, I realized that I was happer than I had been in years as well... Ok, so no harm, no foul.

Just wondering if anyone else finds that it's too easy to reject someone online Vs. live? Posted: 9/15/2008 10:29:16 AM
It is easy to impersonate while on-line.. you can edit what you type, choose to answer what you will, hide your body language, etc. There is no (shouldn't be) emotional connection beyond mild friendship until a personal meeting. Nothing quite like telling a heartfelt story to someone and then watching their eyes roll back in their head in boredom. I'm also certain that every pedophile really knew that they were actually talking to a cop on-line

would guys date a female cop? Posted: 9/14/2008 6:07:55 PM
I know a number of "investigators" but no female street cops. Of the investigators I know, they all seem quite considerate people and I'd not have any issue in dating someone with that personality. As for a female street cop, I have to meet her to judge her personality. I'd half ASSUME that she would have to be an alpha type and that would probably cause us to have ego conflicts... However, that is just an assumption and I'd not want to stereotype someone without at least giving them a chance... Now as for all the MALE former cops I know... they are all asses... Self involved, egotisitcal, narcisists still wishing they were armed. Most were apparently law enforcement just for the need to dominate others. A few others were adrenaline junkies. There were a few that did it for "personal" reasons, but that was just a few of them. I don't know enough female officers to just their motivations and id...

Why don't tall men choose to date tall women? Posted: 9/14/2008 5:52:13 PM
I have no issues with a woman's height. I've dated 5'1" tall ladies and 6'2" ladies. (I'm 5'11") I'm really more interested in their personality, the packaging is really secondary (not that I do not appreciate a beautiful lady) But I've never descriminated against any lady based on height, hair length or color, bust, or nationality... I suppose I do prefer caucasian features in general and intelligence is a mandatory requirement. She has to be sharp to catch my witticisms or it is just like I'm talking to myself and I've already heard all my jokes.

Need advice from dads w/ daughters Posted: 9/11/2008 6:04:43 PM
You NEVER leave your kids alone You NEVER leave your kids alone Take her into the men's room if necessary. Send her into the womens room for her use.. You are right outside the entrance. At 6 she can manage the details herself. Worst case, there are employee restrooms, aid stations, bathrooms in restaraunts/lounges

Men with teenage children Posted: 9/11/2008 5:45:45 PM
ummm, it seems that many of you are missing the boat here. Let us assume that you are in a normal committed relationship and you eventually have kids of your own. Would you tell your kids that you are tired of taking them to their events, that they are taking too much of your spare time or would you choose to not let them participate in things because you do not want to be inconvenienced? These are YOUR KIDS remember... What would you say to your spouse, if they told you that they didn't feel like participating in your kids extracurricular activities, that it was too much of a bother... Most likely you would determine that your spouse is a crappy parent and that your kids deserve better. So if you feel that your new BF/GF is spending too much time with their kids... that problem is YOURS, not the parents. If you want to have that relationship, do not be jealous of the kids... LOVE the kids, support the kids, here is an idea... pretend that you are their parent and treat them as such. When I met my wife, she came with 2 daughters (4 & 3). I made it clear, that if I am in the role of dad, I WILL be dad and I will treat them as my own forever. I have been seperated from her for almost 1 1/2 years now... The oldest daughter is 18 now and is living with her BF, the 17 y/o lives with me... not her mother. Wives/GF may come and go, but kids are forever

Being a Tampa local, I have passes to go to Busch Gardens , Adventure Island, Sea World, and Universal Studios of which I go at least monthly when not every other weekend. It is fun for the kids and myself. I've taken dates there... I've taken packs of kids there (some were even mine) As for the BEST time to go... Halloween is the best time for the parks... Halloween Horror Nights and Howl-o-Scream RULES!!

Men with teenage children Posted: 9/11/2008 4:12:26 AM
BTW... teenage kids are much easier to manage than the elementary aged kids. The teenagers typically need money and permission (as long as they aren't complete animals) and they have learned responsibility. The little ones take and need lots of time... Soccer or baseball practice twice a week, cubscouts or brownies once a week, sometimes there is dance/music/karate classes once or twice a week. The weekends are usually tied up in the A.M. for games or competitions/meets, etc Being a single parent is very hard, hell being married parents is hard. Trying to date while having custody is difficult at best... and the ONLY good thing that comes from shared custody is the other parent being the "designated babysitter" allowing you the opportunity to have personal time...

You know... If a man were to say, "I like that girl, but she spends too much time parenting her kids. She needs to tell them to get lost so she can spend more time with me." That would be incredibly selfish and inconsiderate... He'd probably get blacklisted and certainly have a hard time dating with an attitude like that. When you have kids, you have kids. You have to make time for yourself, but you have to make exceptions for when the kids have things come up. Sometimes (Most of the time) when there is a scheduling conflict, the kids HAVE to take priority... That is called being a PARENT. How many of you have fond memories of hearing your parents say, "Hey sweetheart, I know you want me to go to your school play, but I'm going to the bar to hang out with this hot chick" or "I know you want to go to your friends' birthday party on Saturday, but I need you to babysit your little sister because I am spending the day at the beach with a "friend"... call me if there is an emergency."? You have to make time for yourself, you'd have to do so even while married.... but to be pissy because you don't rate higher than a persons own children is just selfish and inconsiderate at the least... Also shows what kind of parent YOU would be. Luckily you have identified yourself this early in the relationship and it is easier to move on.

First Date Pet Peeves Posted: 9/10/2008 7:02:03 PM
Manners are manners, whether it is on a date or dinner with the parents. However, it is rude to be on a date where you are supposing to meet and get to know each other and you: -are constantly distracted by texts and phone calls -are so self involved that you constanly talk about yourself to the point of squashing all other conversation -so quiet that you can't be engaged into a conversation -constantly referring back to negative experiences (being a downer) Dating and meeting people is all about making some level of interaction, to get a feeling for the personality of the other person... If after a date, you have no idea what kind of person they are (or at least who they pretended to be), it wasn't much of a date.

My last GF said I should get one because she didn't feel like participating as much as I'd like. Aside from offending me by the suggestion, she then used that as an excuse to cut back even more. I took that as a "I'm just not into you any longer" and so exited from the relationship. (besides, I'm an old fashioned kind of guy... )

Ever date someone with BPD? (Borderline Personality Disorder) Posted: 9/10/2008 6:28:32 PM
I thought she was cute and smart and entertaining I thought it wasn't as bad as it turned out to be, I thought I could deal with it... After all, they are all crazy to one degree or another right?? Nope, she was NUTS... scary nuts, in the "How does she manage to get along with soceity" kind of nuts... I tried to put up with it, to be supportive and considerate, but the more "understanding" I became, merely enabled her to get more off base she became. I finally couldn't deal with it any longer, so I broke up with her. Of course she blamed me for being too self involved, but we stopped dating. I see and talk to her occasionally, to be friends (only). Not her eccentricities are merely humorous, since I don't have to deal with them constantly :-)
