Growing Old - Evolution OF Taste
Posted: 11/24/2009 4:43:14 AM
In my fifties I discovered facebook and now play Mafia Wars and various other games almost every day with hundreds of people around the world I don't know. My day isn't complete unless I've iced a mobster.

Verdict : Second childhood

So it sounds like first contacts are like London buses? Either there's nothing for ages or three at a time.


I think you should agree to meet all three in a hotel room, and have an angry orgy.
It's too good an opportunity to miss.......


But wait until they've all calmed down a bit, or you could end up wishing they'd just boiled your bunnie...

Katie Price on TV
Posted: 11/24/2009 2:12:04 AM

KP has become succesful thanks to men. The plastic surgeons, newspaper editors, sexual conquests etc have been men who have helped to keep her in the limelight.


I don't think anyone would argue with that. Even if you do make it sound like they were doing her a favour.

If men hadn't bought the papers and magazines she was in when she first started she would never have been a success. The sort of pictures she appears in aren't printed for a woman's benefit. That's men's major contribution to the Katie Price story.

As for being a bitch - she has probably never said anything worse of anyone, than some of the things that have been said about her by some posters on this thread - most of whom haven't got the excuse of being emotional because they're in the middle of a messy divorce and many of whom would probably be happy enough to leer at her cleavage given half a chance.

As I said before I'm far from being a Katie Price fan - but I get fed up with this habit we have of kicking people when they're down.

so if they kept showing up in the second bit they were keep viewing


They only show up once in the second bit. Even if someone views you every day of the week it will only show you the first instance.

After about a month (or some such time, not exactly sure, could be three months) the record is removed and if they view you again after that they will be shown again as viewing you.

OT: Do men gang up on women the way some women do?? I can't imagine it.

Obviously in her early days, Jordan appealed to men - but I am not convinced that is her target market now.


Probably not - she's way too old to feature in most men's magazines.

But I'm afraid that having unleashed the monster (phrase only - not a comment on her looks!) it's abit late to be complaining about it being around.

^^^I wouldn't say I like and admire her - but I don't condemn her for what she does either. She's doing what she wants without hurting anyone else (as far as I'm aware). So long as my nieces don't adopt her as a role model she can do whatever she likes - I really don't want a life of insecurity and surgery for them.

I think the men are really a bit cheeky in being so rude about her - if people (and by people I mean mainly men) didn't buy the newspapers and magazines that employed her she wouldn't have been successful. She certainly didn't have the boob jobs to appeal to women, it was to get the pennies out of men's pockets - and she succeeded.

I do admire her 'I am what I am' attitude to life.

Posted: 11/23/2009 5:28:56 AM

So a companion to share my life could be my only option.


Seriously, is there anything so wrong with that? Living with a FRIEND (not a sex partner) that you get on with? Having someone to watch TV with occasionally, go out for a meal with occasionally? Chat to when you get home from work?

You don't have to turn into Darby and Joan or live in each other's pockets, you can still have dates and your own friends.

So long as there was some privacy and a bit of space for alone time I loved living with friends and would again. I don't really understand why people make it sound like the end of the world.

Katie Price on TV
Posted: 11/23/2009 5:16:25 AM

Yeah. she is. She's another empty vessel who has absolutely nothing of any value to offer. This great businesswoman fantasy is an absolute hoot too. Her marketing and p.r people are the great business people. They are the ones who've brought the money in. The biggest laugh was when she was snubbed at the book awards. She tried to portray the authors as snobs who were just jealous of her. In fact, they were quite right to snub her. She tried to hijack the occasion for her moronic tv show and it failed, massively. She doesn't write any of her books. She's not an author and had no business being there. Kuntie Price does nothing except squat and represent all that is wrong with Britain, all that has failed. And as for that f**kbot husband of hers.......


So you're not a fan then?

driving
Posted: 11/23/2009 4:19:03 AM

If you can't get to grips with a manual gearbox, I simply don't think you are likely to have the ability to drive such a car properly


...or at least not as a new driver.

Learn to handle something a bit tamer in all weathers and conditions first then move on to a more powerful car. What seems like fun in the dry sunny months can get quite scary when there is ice and rain on the roads.

I bought my 200SX nearly ten years ago price from a man who bought one for each of his sons when they passed their driving tests at the same time. One of them wrapped his around a lamp post within a week and ended up in hospital, thankfully not too seriously hurt - I got the other one, at a knock down price. (The car, not the son.)

I absolutely love my car and I've put off selling it for a few years now even though it's getting a bit pricey to maintain, but I have to admit it's given me one or two bad moments in really bad weather over the years.

When (or if) your partner has had more lovers than you?
Posted: 11/23/2009 2:56:01 AM
Where did this 'rule of 3' come from????

Never heard of it.

Who makes up all these rules? How come I never get the memo??

Is this like the 'if she hasn't slept with you by the third date dump her' rule??


OT: If someone's sexual history is enough to put you off them then they're not for your anyway - when you care enough about a person you accept them as they are, not wish they were different.

Shouldn't you be grateful she's open and honest with you, and not just telling you what she thinks you want to hear?

Posted: 11/22/2009 12:51:40 PM

clearly the OP of this thread is provoking a wind-up because there's no way she could have had access to the object of her desires various eMail addresses (as he certainly wouldn't have divulged them to her given what she claimed...)


I'm not totally sure but I think what she means is that she emailed from a number of different accounts and he blocked her on each one, rather than emailed lots of his accounts.

I don't know what you call this behaviour where you come from - here we call it stalking.

Now I understand why so many men are scared of the bunny boilers on sites like this - I don't think I ever really took them seriously before.

OT : I've never been a stalker so I don't know how you stop. Sounds like you need some serious help.If someone is not interested in going out with me then I certainly wouldn't chase him from site to site - why the heck would you want to go out with someone who isn't interested in you???

Baldness - is it an issue?
Posted: 11/22/2009 4:43:31 AM
Don't think I have a preference - some men really suit being bald and can look hot hot hot, others don't.

The things that are likely to turn me off are comb-overs and long hair.

Used to prefer long hair when I was younger - but that may have been because back then lots of young men had long hair, then their hair got shorter as they got older until they were middle aged with comb overs then bald old men

My best friend and I often talk about this and agree that it would be an option ..


Me too. After all, we know each other well, we shared a flat years ago and had great fun. We have some of the same interests, we can laugh with AND at each other.... so long as there is enough space for some alone time and privacy I don't see why not.

I also have an ex I would happily live with as a friend - we get on much better as friends than we ever did as partners.

Unless the question means ' would you settle for a friend as a live in sex partner' in which case the answer is no.

Are you a snob about anything?
Posted: 11/22/2009 2:30:01 AM
I think there is definitely inverted snobbery.

I've heard people who deem themselves to be 'working class' spouting off about other people just because they live in bigger houses - calling them snobs and saying how they think they're better than other people - and they don't even know the people they're talking about.

People assume a lot of things about people they think have more money than them, or wear nicer clothes than them, or speak with a different accent to them... to me that is all inverted snobbery.

People, why against the rocking chair on the porch?
Posted: 11/21/2009 11:13:16 AM

what in the world is so wrong with sitting in a rocking chair on the porch?


Absolutely nothing.


Why do so many over-50 people feel they must be out slaying dragons instead of sittin’ back and relaxing much more?


I do what I love to do, not what I feel I 'must' do. When I no longer have an interest in an activity I will stop it, not before. My activities are varied and they're things I enjoy - and I don't insist everyone does them.


Why do those who do the first set of things seem to look down on those who do more of the 2nd set?


Who says they do? Some people make a lot of assumptions. Some of us like to do both.

Have you ever had your dinner with your friends at the top of a mountain (well okay, very high hill!!) watching the sun go down? Every bit as magical and peaceful as watching from your porch, and something to remember on evenings when you're sitting in your rocker. That's why I do it.

I go to the gym at least four times a week. I spend at least an hour each visit on physio to correct some problems following an accident. I do yoga. I do pilates. I also run, do weights AND more energetic exercises. As a result I can still run, and cycle, and shop all day with my nieces, and get out of bed in the morning without my joints creaking and muscles aching - I know people far younger than me who can't. That's why I do it. Just because people go to the gym doesn't mean they are major muscle bound health freaks who don't enjoy quietly reading a book sometimes.


Are there even any people on ‘our’ forums who will admit they only slay dragons seldom these days


'Slaying dragons' to me means pushing yourself to your limits. I often do that, but that's because my limits are lower now than they used to be so I hit them that much faster!

It's a mistake to assume that because people are energetic a lot of the time they don't enjoy lazy days sometimes, and they look down on quieter activities.

Here's to peaceful evenings all over the world rocking on the porch

visible tattoos, opinions?
Posted: 11/21/2009 8:44:00 AM
I don't have any tattoos and what other people do with their bodies is up to them.

I have thought once or twice about getting a small private one but it's never been high up on the priority list of things I have to do.

A couple of tatts can look okay, don't mind one or two on a man but I really don't find lots of ink attractive other than as a work of art. Although I might look I don't feel inclined to touch.

PLENTY OF CARERS.
Posted: 11/21/2009 7:08:17 AM
I worked for 7 years as a care assistant in homes for the mentally and elderly infirm - mainly advanced Alzheimers, Parkinsons, schizophrenics, Downs Syndrome, and a mix of a few others.

I worked 12 hour shifts 5 or 6 days a week because we were ALWAYS shortstaffed but it never affected my relationship in any way.

Not really sure why you think a job like this would hurt a relationship? Lots of jobs have antisocial hours so maybe I missed your point.

one message then nothing
Posted: 11/20/2009 4:44:56 AM

my search concludes the ratio is more like 2:1 !!....... if it is diferent in your area, then at least recognise that in other parts of the country it is not the same picture


Off topic: A couple of years ago there was a thread done by the UK posters to work out (although not very scientifically!) what the ratio actually was. I think the thread disappeared after a couple of pages for some reason, but some of the posters are still around I think. There was also one in one of the other forums, but I can't find that one either.

If I remember correctly there were different rations for each geographical location/age group. In some cases, but not many, there were more women than men.

If you then take into account smoking/drinking/drugs/interests/how far you're willing to travel/other more personal wants it means the number of prospective partners could be different for two men/women living next door to each other.

Obviously if you live in a remote area your options are more limited than if you live in a highly populated district.

The older you are the less options you have as there are fewer older members, especially women as men are more inclined to search for a younger partner (note the word 'inclined' - doesn't mean everyone does).

So all you fit young men can stop crying into your beer. It's the older women you should be feeling sorry for. Especially the ones that live miles from anywhere :laugh:

On topic: I don't know what it means when someone stops rplying to your emails.

Maybe that you bored them more than they thought you would. Maybe that they lost their nerve. Maybe they mailed lots of people and someone else beat you to it with a response.

Possible Imminent UFO DISCLOSURE!!
Posted: 11/20/2009 4:11:24 AM

And as for an alien craft crashing; you'd think someone with the skills to navigate 30 lightyears worth of planets and space debris is highly unlikely to blunder and come a cropper in a collision with a tree in New Mexico


Aahh.. but maybe he wasn't heading for earth.

MAYBE his ship malfunctioned on the way to somewhere else and landing on earth was unintentional.

Or MAYBE he ran out of fuel somewhere and had been aimlessly floating around for light years until he got caught in Earths gravitational pull.

Or maybe they were lonely and came to join PoF. Now they're still lonely but they have a lot more people to complain to.

driving
Posted: 11/20/2009 3:46:14 AM
It's all very well telling the OP to stick with it - but driving lessons cost a small fortune and she needs to pass her test with confidence.

If she can't cope with the manual in all honesty I think she's much better off getting confidence on the roads and with the traffic, and learning to drive safely, than worrying about driving manuals. So long as she knows her choice in cars may be more limited she'll be okay.

I know a number of people who used to drive manuals and now drive automatics instead - AND have really nice cars. The days when automatics were second rate and only for people who couldn't drive a manual are well and truly over.

Having said that I hate driving automatics, much prefer my manual.

And no, I don't think the 350 ZX is a good first car!!

christmas decorations
Posted: 11/20/2009 3:20:06 AM
My decorations go up in the week before Christmas - I try to ignore Christmas before then apart from gift buying and sending Christmas cards abroad, which you can't ignore if you're going to get them done.

My mother's house is decorated from the first week of December - she has masses of Christmas decorations that have been bought for her over the years and she loves to get them out as it's the only time she sees them. They stay out until she feels like putting them all away again.

Must admit I find it very therapeutic putting the decorations up and taking them down again - it's like having a free make over for the house.

The Silent Treatment
Posted: 11/20/2009 2:02:57 AM

Trying to " discuss" things with people when they are not ready or not interested in excessive details, speculation etc is also a form of aggression and equally "unhelpful' as the silent treatment.


That's very true. I like to think things through and figure out how I feel about things, and why, before I have a discussion about something that could seriously affect my relationship with someone else - especially if it's something that's hit me out of the blue, or something that's hurt me.

I suppose it could look to someone else like they're getting the silent treatment, but it's just me backing off for a while and working things out in my head.

When I'm ready I'll talk - but if someone persists in trying to 'discuss everything like adults' before I know how I actually feel they'll end up with some frosty silent treatment alright.

Buying women Lingerie
Posted: 11/18/2009 4:20:20 PM
My ex used to buy me undies for Xmas sometimes. The first few times were a bit disastrous, the usual tacky, black and red, lacy, not-much-there sort of gear. Itchy as hell and badly fitting.

Yes I wore them. Just the once. Unfortunately they were all so badly made they fell apart in the washing machine. Or shrunk.

I spent quite a lot of time one year on the run up to Xmas telling him how much I loved my favourite undies and wouldn't mind another set the same, or maybe a different colour, and he took the hint and checked the labels to buy them.

Paying for sex ok?
Posted: 11/18/2009 8:28:45 AM

You just join a dateing site, messege a few women and bingo sex on tap apparently.


I don't know how common it is but I do know a man who joined dating sites purely for sex. A lot of women obviously saw something in him because he would have at least one date every week. He used to boast about the fact that there was always someone else in the pipeline - although I suspect the women he was chatting to didn't know that!

What I don't know is how many of those women chose to see him just for sex, and how many of them were deluded enough to think that after a few emails they were in a relationship with him and having sex with their boyfriend.

Either way he got what he wanted.

I prefer manual, because that's what I'm used to. A friend of mine couldn't get the hang of the gears and failed her test twice in a manual. Took it for the third time in an automatic, passed and she's been driving for twenty years in automatics.

There are so many automatics now that I don't think it matters so much anymore, unless you are driving for a living. Plus, if you hire a car in the US and some other places it will probably be an automatic anyway.

Brainy women are less likely to marry?

I wanted to be a spinster and relish in the idea that one day i might have more than 2 cats and a dog and would end up with 39 stray cats and 24 dogs that made me and my house smell of animal wee.


I'm sorry but no. You'll have to wait your turn for the cat house. You can't even consider it until you've been accepted as an old maid. Some of us have been waiting a considerable time and have already made plans for the cat house. If you're only mid-thirties you barely qualify as spinster, let alone old maid.

Posted: 11/15/2009 4:15:34 AM
If you have to ask a question like that then I don't think you're interested enough in her to go out with her anyway.

I went out with a man with a glass eye for a short while. He was an amazing man, fantastic smile, great fun, full of life and confidence. He was one of those people who could tell stories and jokes forever and keep groups of people in stitches. He was also smart, caring and kind.

After a while the glass eye wasn't an issue as I didn't really notice it, although it did take a bit of getting used to when I first met him. And I think it threw my friends a bit when they first met him if I hadn't mentioned it.

Oh and did I mention he had an artificial leg too?

hard to be single - social events
Posted: 11/14/2009 3:38:58 PM
Family events are okay, there are always family to talk to. And I quite like being single at work do's, not having to worry about a partner being bored or feeling out of things.

The worst has to be New Year parties on my own - I tend to go off on holiday somewhere where there won't be lots of hugging and kissing of partners!

And eating out just about anywhere more exotic than a Pizza Hut.

Almost anything else I am happy to do on my own.

So, what's 'wrong' with The Daily Mail and those who read it?
Posted: 11/14/2009 2:37:29 PM
Am I a conventional, unadventurous, middle of the road fascist because I read the Daily Mail sometimes, or do I read the Daily Mail sometimes because I'm a conventional, unadventurous, middle of the road fascist?

Am I only a fascist on the days I read the Daily Mail? Or a fascist on the days I only read the Daily Mail? What am I on the days I read the Times, the Independent, the Mail and the Guardian, apart from very confused?

When do we stop looking

Bear in mind that every woman receives 100 messages a day


I think this is a genetic memory passed from man to man. It only surfaces once they've joined PoF -

"when you go on a dating site remember every women gets at least 100 messages a day and no one will want to talk to you".

Brainy women are less likely to marry?
Posted: 11/14/2009 1:37:10 PM

I admire women who are in their 30+ never married and no kids, it shows they are sensible and do not to give in to conformist peer pressures.


As a 51 year old who was engaged three times before she lived with someone for 20 years and never got married - it doesn't show any such thing.

All it shows is that for some reason that woman hasn't married and has no kids.

Generally the reason is that she hasn't met anyone she loves enough to stop working all hours, or stop travelling, or stop clubbing, or whatever it is she does.

SOME women simply don't want to get married.

At 30+ she MAY still get married - 30 isn't her sell by date you know.

If I met the right person I would have no qualms at all in getting married. I'll live with the one I'm not 100% sure I want to marry.

Have you cheated death?

Andy1961 -that's quite spooky.

I worked with someone from the New York/New Jersey Port Authority, who were based in those buildings. All his colleagues were killed. He left for work late that morning because his father was returning home after staying with him. So he decided it would be nice to have a late breakfast with his Dad, and therefore wasn't at work.

A friend's son was at the dentist, who also should have been in work.
