Another question Posted: 6/29/2009 5:51:06 PM
Why do some guys find it necessary to judge and insult you, instead of just answering your question. Do you have an example of the question you are talking about? It is sort of hard to understand what you mean and give you perspective without seeing the question you felt you were judged or insulted on.

let nature take its course? Posted: 6/29/2009 5:44:29 PM
Is that an unconscious sign that he isn't really interested in me? What if another women intervenes who moves faster? Is he just settling for less than what he wanted? Give me some advise, guys! Should I speed things up a bit or just let nature take its course? If it was me in the situation I would want the woman to tell me where her head was at...nothing is worse than someone not sharing what they are feeling as them sitting there perplexed and uncomfortable usually gives off some pretty bad body language. Take a risk, what have you got to lose? You will know where you stand one way or the other and then you can decide where you go from there.

how to attract a man??? Posted: 6/29/2009 5:38:36 PM
Go to the Stanley Hotel on a Saturday afternoon and find a tubing partner...everyone is there to have fun and it would be an awesome environment to meet someone...assuming that is still going on, been about 7 years since I lived there.

why do people stay on POF after meeting someone? Posted: 6/28/2009 11:12:28 PM
Not sure how you can actually get to know someone if you are both looking over your shoulder to see if the other is doing something....maybe I am the odd one here but to me the biggest piece is trust...if I feel I have to check up on someone then obviously there is no trust and I am not interested. Sort of sounds to me like you shit in your own nest on this one...

having a SO or a Wife but not at home Posted: 6/28/2009 8:27:12 PM
A couple of thoughts: Ask for a home number - if someone is really single they will have no problem sharing it - call that number when you know the person is at work and listen to the answering machine Agree on the seperated comments others have made although people should still be honest....not sure why people think it is at all ok to hide they are in a relationship...if it makes you feel any better women do it too...

valentines gifts, suprises and ideas Posted: 2/4/2007 4:32:11 PM
Valentines day is over-valued; what matters are the other 364 days a year and what you do to make them special. Don't take that as negativity, I just think Valentines day is driven more by marketing than anything else and the little things you do every day show true thoughtfulness.

8 ways to hit the fairway Posted: 5/21/2006 10:13:56 PM
I guess the "Do you want to be right or want to be happy" philosophy has always worked for me; the things people let get in the way of a good relationship are so trivial it is amazing.

The problem with the process is the amount of energy it takes to produce the hydrogen; at this point it is counter-productive on an emissions reduction basis.

What to do on a Friday night in Hamilton? Posted: 11/28/2005 2:25:18 AM
The Marlies are in town losing to the Bulldogs Friday night (lol); those are ususally some of the best games to see in the AHL. Yukyuks is good too, right downtown and there are a ton of good restaurants downtown.

Winter tires. Do you believe in them? Posted: 11/26/2005 9:07:35 AM
In Sweden it is not snow tires that are mandatory, it is studded tires. Studded tires are what everyone should be running but because the MTO has their head so far up their ass they still have them banned. I guess the MTO has never heard of the soft-stud studded tires that are available now; their ban is based on the steel stud tires going back to the 70's. I grew up in rural Manitoba using studded tires in the winter and the difference would probably amaze anyone that has never driven with them.

Your thoughts on online dating Posted: 11/23/2005 6:05:27 PM
I think online dating is like any other type of dating; the only difference being that when you see someone at the bar or the grocery store she hasn't had a week with Photoshop editing how she looks :) Seriously, there are a lot of good people on here and there are a lot of flakes and liars; pretty much a cross-section of life. I have learned this is not the place for me to date as I can't get past the lack of common courtesy I have experienced here but I am sure it will work for some people. It is too much of a numbers game for me, sort of like running from Walmart to Walmart trying to buy the hot Xmas toy of the year and fighting temptation to buy last year's version when you get snubbed by everyone working there....lol :)

are looks really that important? Posted: 11/15/2005 5:25:07 PM
Well apparently they do. Just for the hell of it I made another profile with all the same info but pictures of a tall, dark and handsome guy. I sent similar emails to a bunch of women and see if you can guess which ones got responded to? I thought it was hilarious because I actually picked women who had comments in their profile that they were more interested in substance and looks fade and blah, blah blah. Obvioulsy not a Gallop worthy poll but it pretty much answered what I thought any way and I am sure it is not only the women; I am sure there would be similar results with the men. I just thought it was pretty revealing how full of shat some people are when it comes right down to it.

Does anyone else see the irony in having the time to post multiple, paragraph-long posts about why they don't answer emails rather than taking that time to just answer them? This was not aimed as a slam against the OP, just a general observation after reading several of the threads on this topic.

In that case Stardust it is just people being rude; someone should at least tell you why they are not interested after finding an initial common ground. So much can be mis-interpereted in text that you would think a point should be clarified.

I agree with lovelife here, If someone does not reply I take that as a lack of interest; I think most people would like a response even if it is one that says they are not interested. Is that what you meant stardust or did you mean after your reply to the initial interest they don't contact you again?

One of my favourites was when I used to live in an apartment building and would be taking my mountain bike down in the elevator. You would not believe the number of times people would ask me if I was going for a bike ride, after a while I just responded "no, just taking my bike out for a walk".

Nice guys finish last, are you one? Posted: 11/6/2005 9:06:50 AM
You only finish last if you choose to. The whole nice guys finish last statement is a cop-out; if you are confident in the fact that you are a good person and believe in yourself you have nothing to worry about. You don't have to be an a-hole to be attractive to the opposite sex, be yourself and don't continually try to change to meet the expectation you think the other person is looking for. The least attractive thing to me is someone who has no direction of their own and always agrees with what I am saying; I like the fact that someone has their own opinion, likes, dislikes etc and is confident enough to have a backbone about it. Based on my experience I think most women feel the same way and when someone backs down from what they think about something under the guise of being nice it comes across as weak; most people want to be around someone that is going to challenge them intelectually and show passion in what they believe not cave into everything they say. That is my $0.02

What is the right way to tell someone you don't want to see them any more? Posted: 11/6/2005 8:57:56 AM
I think people are afraid of hurting someone by telling them they are not interested (face it, we have all been on the flip side of that coin at one point in our lives) so they back away from any conflict. It is best to just be honest but that is not always the easy route so people choose not to take it. As far as an email a day being too intrusive, that is a load of crap; if the person is interested they would appreciate knowing you were too.

What if a married likes his wife but wants additional fun with other women Posted: 10/31/2005 4:55:42 PM

controllers Posted: 10/31/2005 4:33:43 PM
I have a relationship with my X-Box controller does that count? I know when I don't move the joystick exactly the right way or press the button when I am supposed to I am punished by a goal against, a drive off into the rough or a punishing blow by some boxer. I agree controllers can suck large :) On a more serious note the best way of dealing with a controlling person is to run as far and fast as you can. A girl I went to school with that used to be an incredibly large personality was so beat down after living with a control freak for a couple of years she could hardly even look anyone in the eye.

So how do they get the caramel in a Caramilk bar? Posted: 10/30/2005 5:15:51 PM
I hate to be the one to break the news but they are actually made by very well trained rabbits. They were trained by CSIS for special ops involving eastern European carrot intelligence gathering at the tail end of the cold war. They got together after the wall came down and took their training into the retail sector and alas the Caramilk was born. If you don't hear from me again after this post tell them the bunnies must have got him......

The official musician thread Posted: 10/29/2005 7:53:39 PM
I play bass (about 22 years now), main axe is a Guild Pilot with active EMG's and I also have a Daion fretless to play around on. I also have an Ibanez RG with a Floyd tremolo and a La Patrie concert model classical that I mess around on to come up with rythym and song structure. I run an Ashley pre-amp with Fostex or Peavey for power and Hartke bottoms (4x10). I also run a Mackie 12x4x2 mixer patched through the effects loop on my pre-amp with a Korg PXR for multiple effects. I am mostly into metal/hard rock/alternative but have toured in country rock bands (call me a whore...lol) as the money was a lot better with almost $0 for production costs. I am into originals more than any particular band but influences would be Metallica, Maiden, Rush, Sabbath etc.

How about this; just be yourself and you will find what you are looking for in life? There is no perfect way to meet anyone and if you are constantly acting like a chameleon because you think it will make you more desireable you are going to end up alone wondering who the hell you are.

Wow....I have heard people say this as a joke (usually some macho type) but I can't imagine someone actually saying something so disrespectful about their partner. That is just beyond comment of how wrong that is, maybe you should send the link to this forum to her so she can see what a low-life she hooked up with and can move on to someone who will respect her...
