My Profile Pics are being deleted :(
Posted:

You're welcome.
Hmmm, that sounds fishy to me!
Perhaps the pic was too dark or blurry. Holding something next to you wouldn't do it unless it were a copyright item or it was hiding your face. I bet he wasn't smiling.
I had a pic like the one you have up now where I enhanced the color and it was removed. I think I enhanced it too much and perhaps other's couldn't tell it was me. Another time I had a pic of myself at my son's college and I was pointing up to a banner that said "PASSION" and it was removed. It seemed so fitting for my screen name. lol I was probably too small in the photo to distinguish my face though so I cropped it to bring my face in closer and then it was acceptable. As long as your face is in all the pics and it's clear and recognizable, it's fine.
A good test is to look at the pic as if it's standing alone, not next to any of your other pics that may be clear. If that pic wouldn't be immediately recognizable by your family and/or friends, it's probably not a good choice.

I don't believe your pic would be eliminated based on one person reporting it. The following link may give you some answers.

From the page you upload your images:
All images MUST contain you, with a visible head shot.
Cartoons, celebrity, bare torso and joke pictures will be deleted.
More from the Admin:
Cartoons, Artwork, Drawings, Animals, Celebrities, Joke pictures, Shirtless males, Image effects enhanced pics of yourself etc., are not allowed. If you cannot normally be recognized then it's not permitted.
NO NUDITY
ALL pictures MUST contain you in it with a visible head shot at minimum
Also note that if you're standing too far away, the pic is blurred, or anything obstructs a clear view of your face, such as deeply tinted or very reflective glasses, closed eyes, hair, hats, hands, it may make you unrecognizable.
I think the key is...you must be visible and recognizible as yourself.
**A thread search is very helpful. This topic is covered many times a day. : )

I don't get it
Posted:
8/27/2009 12:46:33 AM
Well, I'm going to put the picture right back up. It doesn't break any rules of indecency at all,
There you go, defy the authorities. That'll get you far. lol You just laughed about this on another thread I responded to where I posted the very clearly written rules taken from right on the very page you upload your pics. All I'll add now is....
If I get my account banned that will even be more hilarious!
I couldn't agree more!!! Thanks for the laugh...
And the fact that you're asking for it by continuing to break the rules, means you deserve it.
So What's bannable about my picture? Maybe if their is a good reason, i'll change it.
Once again..the rules state:
All images MUST contain you, with a visible head shot.
Cartoons, celebrity, bare torso and joke pictures will be deleted.
My guess is that the
joke pic
isn't considered
a recognizable head shot
and that bottle caps are in the running with sunglasses. Point is, you were told it was unacceptable and you're chosing to ignore that which means there's no other choice but to push the consequences.
If it were me, I'd remove that pic AND the one with the hat covering your face, immediately. But that's just me because I understand that we have rules for a reason. And furthermore, the reason doesn't have to be a good one. You don't own the site and are only but a guest here. When in someone else's house, we follow their rules, leave on our own, or get thrown out! You're lucky you were given a choice.

You can hide your profile by going to the "edit" profile page but then others won't be able to find you either unless it's through the forums or their favorite list.

Profile Suggestion...tell me what you think!
Posted:
8/26/2009 11:53:36 PM
For one thing, it would never be an accurate account of how someone rates. For example, I very rarely rate pics. Once in a while though I will. When I do rate them it's based on the quality of the photo, and not how attractive I find the person. Unfortunately, many photos are either blurry or out of compliance. Therefore, my rating history would be low. That does NOT tell you anything about my personality.
As for viewing the fans, you could use it to say thank you and start a conversation if you like but honestly, I rarely go to that page at all. And to see low votes would only cause problems and stop people from voting honestly. The other thing is..we only have access to x amount of fans and those are the one's who rated us the highest. In fact I don't think that list of mine changed since I achieved enough 10's to fill the page years ago. And the truth of the matter is....I actually did it to prove that someone in the "older" OUCH catagory was capable of getting in the top 500. At that time it was a move for all women my age. LOL
what i think is that anyone who possesses so little self-esteem as to require votes from unknown internet viewers to determine their own self-worth, isn't anyone i want to know.
so, i neither care about them, nor about the sociopaths that choose to exercise their anonymous internet votes to instill self-doubts in those they view and assess.
I know she loves me........
because she knows me.
: )
And geeze...now that my 500 favorites are gone, this is all I have left. Can't I have any fun here anymore?
**FTR, I would prefer to have the forums listed on the profiles and my favorites count back but c'est la vie, tis not my site and I'm sure there's a reason for everything.

It can also be seen by clicking on "No Emails" located on the top right side when you're viewing your profile page. As I said, 24 hours/over a day sure doesn't seem like anything to worry about. : )

Just to clarify, this isn't only about new profiles because I'm an "oldie moldie" and mine now says the 1st too. lol It never did before though.
I'm sure the Admin will fix it when he realizes it and/or has the time, especially if it changes someone's horoscope because that's used for some of the searches.

Can anyone else verify, that they can or cannot, while being logged in ?
I see it just fine.....
One thing I learned though, sometimes we think we're logged in but we're not. Make sure you try to post to be sure. Then check the Main Forum Page. I couldn't see the event hostess threads and it was driving me nuts because I didn't know why. Ticket kept telling me to log in but I thought I was because I switched over to the forums from the dating part and I was able to read everything. Not so. I had to log in again on the forum side. Silly me! : )

A first contact email means that someone sent them an email first...other than the Admin welcoming them to the site!
Why it states "Last 30 visiting users who haven't received a first contact email in over a day within 50 miles of Zip Code....", I'm not sure. A day certainly doesn't seem that bad. However, I have to believe it means exactly what it states.
I don't remember the 24 hour part being there before though and thought what was meant when it stated "Last 30 visiting users who haven't received a first contact email" was that those members
never
received a first contact email from anyone since registering on the site.

How to post party pics????
Posted:
8/26/2009 9:26:29 PM
In order to start a pic thread for an event, you must be named as a co host or as someone to upload the pics by the host/hostess who started the event thread. Check with them to see if you were listed and to make sure they didn't start a pic thread already.
If they didn't, and they agree to name you, you'll be able to start it in the following way.
Go to the event thread (after they named you). Scroll down to under the pics of those who signed up for the event. There you'll see,
Create a new thread to
upload images
taken of this party.
(Unless you are added to upload event images you will NOT see that sentence there!)
When you click on
"upload images"
a page will open for you to start a new thread. Once you get to the new thread I suggest using the exact name of the event with the word (PICS) after it. That's what I usually do so it's easy for everyone to find.
Post a simple introduction about the event and/or pics. It's nice to remind everyone to left click on each pic to view it in it's enlarged state and to right click to save the image to their own computer.
After that you'll see two open boxes with "browse" next to them on the bottom of the page. You can upload two pics at a time. If the page disappears after you post your introduction just go back to your location on the forums, click on event
images
, and you'll see your thread there to continue uploading the pics.
You can get to your location by clicking on:
Forums
USA Forums
Arkansas
Arkansas single events .......
images
*
IF however someone already started a pic thread you may
not
start another one. They can either add your name to the already started pic thread so YOU can upload your pics there, or you can email them the pics for them to upload for you.
I hope that helped.......

many shoulders lessen any chore
Now get on up off the dirty floor
I'm offering mine so lean on in
And don't be afraid to confess that sin
My lips are sealed, not a word will I say
For I'm not the one heading up judgement day
Some prayers and a blessing just for you and me
And I hope when I'm up there, there you'll be.

and enter the goddess's temple un-pained
but from there you'll be cast away
For your soul to the God's belongs from then on
Heed the words that you hear me say
For the sins that you carry will be there no more
but the price that you pay will be time
And you'll sit there in limbo from that day forth
where forever you'll wait for a sign.

I don't think it's fun. I think it's rude and disrespectful. If you set a date you should be there or call within 15 minutes of the set time to explain why you're late. If you need to cancel it should be done as soon as you realize you can't make it and hopefully that's before the person gets dressed to leave the house!
If this has happened to you, I'm sorry. The person was immature and obviously never learned manners! If it helps, you can think.......what goes around, comes around!

Sexy or Slutty?? Picture & Profile review Please
Posted:
8/17/2009 8:38:04 PM
Thank you all. Unzipped
You're welcome.
I like them both but I think the one in green has this really different sort of smiling grin that I find attractive. The two pics of you in white, the one by the tree and the one on the beach are almost the same exact pose. I like the one on the beach a little better but would like to see it cropped on top to bring you in closer. If you don't know how to do that and would like to see how it looks, you can email me and I'll be happy to help you.

Parental Critique at Our Age??
Posted:
8/17/2009 9:00:43 AM
I've always heard that the only times advice should be given is:
If it's a life and death situation
If it's asked for
But many times when it comes to those we love we feel their situation is a life and death one
or at least one that's heading for a disaster that we don't want to see them go through so we can't help ourselves from speaking up because we care.
I always respected my mom's opinion and she was wonderful with never pushing me or turning her back on me if I decided to choose another route. Her love for me was unconditional and it's the greatest thing she passed down to me along with respecting all those I know love me and care about me as well as those I love and care about, enough to hear what it is they have to say and to give my opinion if I think they need it.
Yes, there were times I didn't agree with her and went my own way but I needed to do that as we all do to gain our own experiences.
The funny thing is...this is a catch 22 question for those of us who have children.
I hope my children will always open their ears to at least hear what I have to say and know that my wisdom from past experiences can be very valuable to them. Whether or not they listen to my advice is up to them and I won't say.." I told you so" after any failure but I will think it and hope it opens their ears even moreso next time. lol
I'll also add that I find the older my children get the more they trust my opinion and come to me for advice and the older I got the more I thought like my parents. That's a scary thing that I never thought would happen but now that I am older I can admit that my Mother is the woman I most want to be like and am somewhat turning into .
I miss her

Sexy or Slutty?? Picture & Profile review Please
Posted:
8/17/2009 7:28:16 AM
In my opinion you have a very well written profile and I especially like that you stated whom you're searching for (as in your personal preferences/restrictions) in your "about me" and that you left it open for all ages etc to write to you. Recognizing that our friends may want to contact us too and not putting limitations on who they may be is nice.
The only change I would make with your wording is in your subject heading. The word "Troll" is not viewed as a good thing on here..lol
As for the pics, if you're happy in them and it reflects that, that's a good thing. If it were my profile though I would trade out two of those pics and only because you have on the same outfit showing almost the same pose in 4 of them. I'd keep one close up in the white shirt and one full body pic in the same outfit and replace the other two to refect you in a different way. My favorite is the one from the Meet but that's just my opinion and you should use whichever one's make you feel the best. In answer to your question, NO, they're not too slutty. If someone feels that way about the way you feel comfortable dressing and/or expressing yourself, that's THEIR problem. Stay true to yourself.

Time for Better Bait or Not?
Posted:
8/17/2009 7:04:49 AM
In my opinion improvements are always a good move and we also need "bait". This is Plenty of Fish. lol And you're casting your line with thousands of other fishermen you know. You're also swimming in the deep blue sea with thousands so if you want to be noticed/caught, you better do something to stand out.
I've had relatively the same profile since I've been on here because I took a long time writing it, was comfortable with what was said, and get a lot of compliments on it. However, I change the pics all the time to keep them current and interesting. I feel that by doing that it also catches the eyes of those who have been on here a while to go back and look at the profile again.
A well written profile shows intelligence to me and it doesn't matter if it's long or short as long as it's written well and contains some substance. Pics are an absolute must and I'd always suggest a few so members can see you in various lights. Just my opinion...............
There's also a profile review section for anyonw who desires opinions to see if others feel changes should be made to their profile and where suggestions run wild. Sometimes brutal though, but most times overall helpful. And yes it is all opinion so you have to pick and choose what works best for you to keep it reflecting who YOU really are because you're the only person who knows that.
Edit for poster below:
Yes, sometimes the profile review forum brings in many suggestions BUT if someone is asking for a review it's because they KNOW they need some kind of change. If they choose the best suggestions that will enable them to still reflect the unique person they are, it should help them. They shouldn't be changing things "just because" someone says to, but rather because it's a recognizable improvement to themselves and perhaps one they never thought of before.
It's like someone suggesting to always use a pic. You can take that suggestion or not, the decision is yours. And even if proof is shown that those with pics receive several times more email than those without, the choice is still theirs...but the suggestion was made to be helpful.

Second time around
Posted:
8/16/2009 3:43:58 PM
I was with my second husband more than 25 years! All I can say is never give up on your search or you'll be giving up on yourself and what could be a long happy life with someone.
Now I heard the third times a charm so I'm keeping my fingers crossed..
or was that 3 strikes and I'm out?
Either way my door will remain open because I have faith that all good things come to those who wait, and those who pray like crazy!!!
Hope, Faith, and Love
and the greatest of these is......... LOVE!
Okay, let's all sing with Nickelback now...and listen real carefully to that chorus and last verse!
Gotta Be Somebody
This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holdin’ my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with
chorus............
`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.
`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.
Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin’ here with you
So I´ll be holdin`my own breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?
repeat chorus
You can´t give up!
Lookin´ for that diamond in the rough
You never know but when it shows up
Make sure you´re holdin` on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on
repeat chorus

What do you gals get up to on a Sunday?
Posted:

I usually go to Mass
and then it depends on where I'm at and with whom I'm spending the day.
I try to keep it on a relaxing level though, like a total wind down of the week although sometimes it doesn't end up that way.

Roses or chocolates?
Posted:
8/13/2009 8:03:38 AM
I'd prefer roses and even a single one is fine but anything would be great. As he gets to know me more, noting personal favorites of mine and surprising me with them is a bigger plus. It doesn't even have to be a monetary gift but even things like going on a surprise outing to somewhere he knows I'll enjoy or picking up the phone to give me that surprise phone call just to tell me I'm on his mind. It really is the thought that counts and what it comes down to is that he's actually
giving his time
and
making an effort
to show me he's thinking of me and wants to make me happy.
Backing up his words with actions that show me I stand out to him more than anyone else is what it's all about.
And heck, I'm easy, I'm even happy with a virtual rose on here!!!
E=effort=excellent!

Sex with the lights off?
Posted:
8/11/2009 7:36:00 PM
You can tell her until you are blue in the face. If she doesn't believe you it won't matter how many times you say it. Words mean precious little to some people. I get told here all the time how beautiful I am, how pretty, how sexy, etc. Mostly by guys looking to get laid. Know what that does to someone??? Makes them not believe it.
ACTIONS say so much more than mere words. SHOW her
that she's sexy and turns you on and that you want to see her as you make love to her.
Amen and Amen... I've been trying to teach that to so many people. I even hear " I love you" and yet they can never back it up with actions. No phone calls, no gestures, nothing that shows me they really mean those words. That means that their " I love you" or " you're hot" or "I want you" is equal to everyone else saying the same exact words. Without actions to back up the words, it'll never register as anything different. It can be as little as sending her a rose or a small note that simply states that you can't stop thinking of her or call her to let her know she's on your mind. Do something, anything..but take that extra step so she knows she stands out to you more than anyone else around. Don't expect her to be a mind reader and never assume that she knows you love her or care merely by the words that so many others say as well. You have to make sure she really feels it and never ever ever let her wonder or she'll never believe you or feel confident/secure with your feelings for her and she'll never be able to come around.
Sounds like great advice, but Geeshhh! Awful lot of 24/7 coaxing and laying of breadcrumb trails. Lol
I don't think it takes 24/7 to drop a reminder to help the person you want to feel secure about your feelings and isn't it worth it if you truly do love her and want to help her to become more secure about your feelings so you can both enjoy the intimate moments together? And with that helmet idea, that's still light to her so unless you do succeed on helping her to relax and believe you find her totally attractive, that light is as good as off because otherwise it will still feel like a giant spot light to her especially in a pitch black tent. I like the idea for farther down the road though, it's even a little kinky....but perhaps starting off with candles would be better. Watching how near the tent walls they are of course. lol

Sex with the lights off?
Posted:
8/11/2009 6:42:05 PM
I like her ^^^^ thinking but I know men are very visual.
I'm one of those totally insecure and nervous about my physical self people so dimming the lights in the beginning of a new relationship helps my inhibitions decrease. (That and a drink sometimes to help me relax) lol I guess it's up to you whether you'd rather be with a worried less aggressive woman in the total light or a wild kinky one in a less lit room.
My advice would be that instead of forcing her out of the darkness into the total light, to start with candlelight or a nightlight shining through from another room. Encourage her and help her to believe that you really do find her attractive and assure her that any imperfections she notices (that probably stand out like a huge flashing light in her mind) really aren't something you're focusing on. Share with her any imperfections you find with yourself as well. That way she can see that you don't find yourself perfect and you're not looking for perfection, only someone who's perfect for you. I think it makes all the difference in the world when we're with a caring partner who knows how to make us feel secure in everything they're saying and they handle it in a very loving way. As time goes on increase the lighting a little each time. Keep reassuring her how beautiful she looks to you.
Also, try telling her she's beautiful at other times of the day and remind her how turned on you were while you were with her the other night. Follow up with actions so there's no doubt in her mind that you're totally attracted to her and want her for herself regardless of how bad she thinks she looks. Knowing she's not only a physical desire to you will also help her overcome the feeling of having to be perfectly appealing in the physical sense to your eyes in bed and lose the fear that you may not want her otherwise. Let her know that her other good qualities are important to you as well and are important in making up who she is to you. Once she's really secure in knowing that you're not judging her (or turned off by what she fears in her own mind), and that you want her more than anything else....she'll be able to perform with more and more lights on.
Before you know it, she'll be smiling for the camera!
Maybe

Long vs short hair
Posted:
8/11/2009 5:19:36 PM
I have noticed that for some reason woman with ong beautiful hair seem to be harder to get close to.
Yeah I know what you mean, some of those styles sure do take up more room.
Maybe we do it on purpose! lmao~
Woman with short hair will always e-mail me back and initiate e-mail.
Hmmm, I respond to all email so that's not necessarily true.
So my question to woman with long hair is, are you more picky or what?
I'll have to choose the "or what" because I believe that whether it's short or long, we all have our personal picky preferences. Hold the pickle on my double cheeseburger please! : )
Or maybe you have full mailboxes?
Because our hair is long??
Honestly I believe it's all a preference for the woman as to how she keeps her own hair and what makes her feel best, which is important for her self esteem. And, it's also a preference for the opposite sex whether they find long or short hair more attractive on a woman. One would hope that a person's hair wouldn't be the only determining factor in what makes them attractive though. I say this only because putting all our satisfaction on one physical feature that may some day be gone (due to uncontrollable circumstances), would mean we're not looking into that person's heart which IS the most important factor. Beauty truly does lie within but sometimes it takes years to figure that out.
I mean could you imagine our older relatives who are happily together for years and up in their 80's turning around at some point and saying.."I told you I don't like that belly, love handles, or receeding hair line. I'm outta here!" and getting a response like " Oh yeah, well I don't like that gray streak or sagging left boob...I'm outta here too!" lmao Nahhhhhh, I hope that once that deep love is in place, physical changes won't signify a "Start running" flag.
So does the hair make the man or woman? Not for me. I like short hair, spunky hair, no hair and long hair on both men and women and have no personal preference whatsoever with hair. It's more about how they carry/portray themselves, their personality and what's inside their heart, combined with the entire package that matters to me.
Women who are over 40 years old and wear their hair long may not resist growing up. Dimitrius writes, “Sometimes women with this trait are caught in a time warp and still think of themselves as teenagers or college students rather than as grown-ups.
Hmmmm, did you hear that Professor?
And shouldn't that be MAY resist? lol C- for that report!!!

Should men pay half of the expense of women's birth control?
Posted:
8/11/2009 4:12:58 PM
It seems to me that if both parties would be responsible for the outcome should birth control not work, both parties should be concerned and responsible for preventing that birth if a child isn't wanted at the time. No matter which partner takes the precaution one would hope as responsible adults they'd discuss the form they want to use and how it will be paid for. Of course I'm assuming this is concerning two mutually committed adults who care about each other and discuss where and when children will play a part in their relationship.
Other than the deductible, most health insurances cover the major expense related to the pill but even if they don't have health insurance the pill isn't that expensive especially if the cost is shared. To some people 20. to 30. per month may be hard on their budget but what's 10. to 15. per month if shared
especially compared to
a
court ordered support
for half the child's expenses for the next 18 some years, not counting college? Gee, I think I'd spring for the approx. 15. per month if it meant she couldn't afford to pay the whole thing.
I'd also bet if it were someone he was really into and she told him she couldn't have sex with him unless he chipped in or even paid for her pills, he'd find a way to cover their cost. lol JMO
All and all my opinion is the responsibility should be both parties whether it's to prevent conception or raising a child after birth. I also feel they should both be mature enough to verbally communicate how things will be handled BEFORE the sex takes place so each partner is in full understanding and agreement before any unexpected/expected outcome.

How important is chivalry in an relationship to you?

How important is chivalry in an relationship to you?
I think chivalry and good manners go hand and hand, both showing a very respectful character and both genders should be displaying those same manners and respect towards each other.
Yes, I definitely notice when someone takes the time to open the car door for me first or holds the door to allow me to walk in first and a mental note gets made that a gentleman is in my presence. But if they didn't open the door for me I wouldn't rule out their being a respectful person....only that they never realized just how many things they could do for a woman to show good manners of the kind that deserve to be mentally noted. lol I'm sure that's because less and less people display chivalry of that manner and therefore others no longer see or learn from them. Never taught, never learned, never displayed....and so the cycle goes until it becomes a dying art.

If she's at fault she should really be the one to call. However, sometimes it's difficult for some people to communicate or make the first move. If you value her friendship then unfortunately it may be necessary for you to take the first step needed to correct whatever is wrong.
Personally I feel that a short cooling period off may be needed in many situations however anything more than a few hours to a day max will only put distance in your relationship because one or the other will start to feel the other one sincerely doesn't care about them or how they feel and that's never a good thing.
I don't like when things are unsettled and want/need them talked about as soon as possible or the distraction renders me incapable of going on with other important things in my life, especially if the disagreement is with someone I really care about. Hurt feelings on either side can destroy the best of relationships and the more time that goes by, the more hurt we feel.
Therefore, communicate, any way you know how...asap. Hopefully your friend will learn from your reaching out to her what it means to care about someone as a friend,
as much as you care about her,
and IF there is a next time perhaps she'll be the one to reach out to you. Friendship is a two way street and it's so much nicer when it's shared.

Why women want guys to come to THEM
Posted:
8/8/2009 6:52:17 PM
First of all....I have no problem making the first move and when I'm into someone I certainly verbalize, take action, and show signs of my feelings to the point that they'd never question my interest and/or my love for them after time. I believe that's the way it should be to prevent either party from playing a guessing game and/or from feeling insecure about their partners feelings towards them. Reinforcing words and love based actions are what make us aware and keep us secure.
Unfortunately what I find though is that many guys…
and females too,
don't always know how to communicate. What they perceive as sending out a signal may sometimes go right over one's head or be impossible to interpret. Hearing something like… "you're hot!", doesn’t allow us to understand if that means “I want to f you right now on the coffee table or lady you just took my breath away and I seriously want to know you better!” Therefore chasing after her may be necessary until she actually understands what it is you’re looking for.
I also feel that the beginning stages of any relationship are different than one you’re in for a while. In the beginning someone has to make the advances to get the ball rolling so whomever goes first should follow up to make sure their intentions are understood. After that, one would hope their actions are reciprocated!
“Coming after someone” in the second stages of a relationship should be done if one party or the other is upset or hurt by any given situation and the other party cares enough about them to straighten it out. Communication is key and as long as the lines of communication are open all things can be resolved but if one party or the other locks the doors, there’s no way to resolve the problem and the relationship will die. One thing we need to remember with communication though is that communication doesn't only mean words, it means actions too. Most of us know that words are easy for a lot of people and many use them just to get what they want so it becomes difficult sometimes to determine just how serious someone may be about us. Therefore all words NEED to be backed up by actions and signs whether they’re hugs, phone calls, whatever is needed to show that they really mean what they’re saying.
It’s like asking yourself, "how do I know this person REALLY loves me?" I’m sure the responses wouldn’t only be because of words they said but rather from actions they displayed. For example saying "I love you" but then never picking up the phone to call especially when there's a problem or after you've called them 4 times and written to tell them you're upset, certainly speaks otherwise and causes a big doubt in your mind.
If I feel that I’ve wronged someone I’ll go after them to correct it without them even coming to me. And if they did come to me I'd certainly want to straighten it out. I don’t want to hurt anyone. And if I’m the one who’s confused I’ll also go to them to make them aware of my feelings and tell them why I’m hurt and upset with the hopes that they too care enough to try to straighten it out. I don't expect them to be mind readers. After I've done all I could to make them aware of my feelings though, if they don’t care enough to come after me to straighten out whatever's wrong than I have to believe they never really meant those words they used and that I'm simply not worth it for them to make the effort to try to talk things out with me. If they can’t pick up the phone especially after I did several times, than I’m sure my interpretation would be that they never really cared at all.
So you see, sometimes it’s essential for one or the other party to chase after each other whether it‘s to make sure the other person accurately knows how that person feels, that they‘re interested in them as dating material or if there‘s a problem in an existing relationship and they really care about the person, their feelings and the pain they know that person is experiencing at the time.
Yep...I want the man who claims to love me to come to me IF there's any problem of any kind whether it's something he's feeling or something he knows that I'm feeling. That's strength and respect to me.
Heck, I want him to come to me regardless to share the good times as well. It's the only way I'll know that I'm the one he wants to come to and be with and that I'm the one he cares enough about to do so and make that move. : )

Is pregnancy a good reason to get married?
Posted:
8/8/2009 5:35:05 PM
Pregnancy is one of the worst reasons to get married. If the love isn’t strong enough for you to get married without the cause of a child than the love will never be what it should be to bring up your child in the best light because believe me it takes a lot of involvement and team work to do so.
Yes, in some instances you may learn to love each other but in most cases that high level of love is what determines the desire to spend your lives together and that love not only builds the marriage but prepares you for any child created by the two people. When done in that sequence the birth of a child created by both people strengthens their bond and makes it possible to get through most things. The determining factor in spending their lives together should be based on the love they have for each other and not based on their creation of a child that may or may not have been formed during a time both parties actually loved each other. Unfortuanately it may have been formed during any number of other sexual episodes both parties were experiencing together so the child may not have even been created with love. Therefore forcing two people who may not even love each other to unite eternally would have very negative effects on the child as well as both parties.
As difficult as it would be I’d never marry someone just because I were pregnant. If that person remained a part of my life and their child’s and IF I felt the love was what it should be to secure a happy home for all of us I might say yes someday especially if I felt the child was created during a time we felt a strong love for each other.
However, IF I told someone I may be pregnant and they didn’t even care enough to find out if I were or not or to support me through any tests I had to take, I may not even tell them the outcome even if it were positive. My thinking would be…….why should I make them feel trapped or forced to be with me when they really don’t want to be or they would have stayed by my side at least to find out the outcome. Having a child together would bond us in some way forever and I don‘t know if I could handle that with someone I felt didn‘t really want any part of me in their life anymore.
Now I’m sure there will be those who will say…”but they have a right to know”. But they DID know the possibility was there if I told them and if they didn’t care enough to stay close during the most crucial time in the very beginning of life, what kind of father would they make? Not one I’d want to feel like was forced to be a part of our lives that’s for sure or one who chose to ignore what was happening and chose to stay away. I’d sooner set them free and make do without them.
**I know financial problems may force obligations to be made, but my first impulse would be………if they didn’t care enough now, why bother because it will only make the situation worse down the road when they “blame me” for something that was just as much their doing. And in reality I would never put up with any child of mine being labeled a "mistake" rather than an unexpected but wonderful blessed gift from God.
Just my personal opinion for my own life and not anyone elses as I understand that all situations are different.

I don’t know if “chase you” is the right words but I’ll say he should pursue you enough to make sure you know for a fact that he’s interested and it’s not just a case of him thinking you’re hot! That of course means using proper communication skills that not only involve words but actions to back his desires up. (Anybody can say anything to get what they want!) He should verbalize, call, send an unexpected note, add you to his favorites, do something/anything…to make you notice him and aware that he truly is interested in you above everyone else. If you don’t feel special by what he does or says to you, chances are he’s not going to get a chance to get any closer to you than anyone else. I also do believe that IF a man is interested in you, you'll know it. There won't be any guess work because he'll want you to know it and won't want to take the chance of you missing his signals or looking elsewhere.
BTW..this works both ways. : )

Styles of Beauty
Posted:
8/8/2009 12:35:16 PM
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..although I've also heard it's in the eyes of the beerholder! lol
I feel that everyone has some type of beauty whether it's on the outside or inside. To me though
true beauty comes from within
which is why I state on my profile that although it's what's on the outside that first attracts us it's what's on the inside that keeps us there. Oh what a gem it would be to find someone both beautiful inside and out and because we all have unique individual tastes that possibility certainly exists.
To me...my own beauty is on the inside and absolutely falls within my heart. I care about everyone and love very deeply...which unfortunately means I also hurt tremendously at times too. I still wouldn't want to be any other way though and will always give all I can give and love all people the deepest I know how, and try my best be kind and compassionate to everyone.

what would you rather have, peace or passion?
Posted:
8/8/2009 11:15:49 AM
I wanted to add an afterthought as a general observation of myself as well as others I know who sometimes choose peace over a passion that disturbs their calm.
I find that many times by choosing peace and not wanting to ruffle feathers etc...we'll sit by and watch the things we WISH for or things we'd like to see changed and even the desires we crave pass us by because we don't want to take a chance for fear of disturbing our peace. By not trying though we hold ourselves back and can't possibly experience as many things as those who aren't afraid to cause a disturbance. In fact the only way to fail is by not trying.
Yet those who hold a love so strong for the things they believe in have a passion that drives them to do what's in their heart regardless of the outcome. Sometimes they fail but at least they try and I'm sure accomplish more than they thought they could and certainly more than those who choose to keep things peaceful above all cost. In fact remaining peaceful can cut us out of some wonderful outcomes that only those who are driven by passion will go after and enjoy the benefits from.
I thank God for all those with enough passion that drives them to fight for things that are right for all of us regardless of how much it disturbs their lives. I hope to always possess a passion for all those around me and for life, enough so to keep pushing me to always move towards the things I want, the things I desire, the things I know are right regardless of how much it may ruffle feathers or disturb my space for a while. In those instances my passion and drive from it are the only thing to give me PEACE of Mind which I absolutely need.
Peace is necessary...and allows us to sleep at night. But remember, passion can also lead to a very peaceful sleep.
Yep....I'd say both are necessary in our lives.

what would you rather have, peace or passion?
Posted:
8/8/2009 9:07:07 AM
I guess that all depends on one's interpretation or the definition they use to describe their passion for something. (and yes I know there are many) I have intense passion of the very best kind for many things in life especially those I love with all my heart and because of that I have no trouble showing it openly with many signs....or communicating it to them so they know for sure. (It's crumb when you have to wonder IF they even feel/felt love for you.........)
With that said there's a time and place for everything including peace
AND passion
and without a balance of both,
which I believe is achievable
...the relationship would never be the best it could be. In fact, I'm at peace when I'm passionate for someone and they show it in return.
Using passion as defined below, certainly shows that it means the strongest and highest of levels that we all hope to reach with our partners...
*strong sexual desire and excitement
*intense enthusiasm for something: a keen interest in a particular subject or activity
*object of enthusiasm: the object of somebody’s intense interest or enthusiasm
All I'll add is that based on all the definitions I'm listing above, if peace means living without or never experiencing passion...........I'd choose passion. And I certainly hope the man who desires and loves me thinks the same or we're in big trouble.

Why do men assume all women are like thier ex?
Posted:
7/3/2009 7:16:39 AM
I think a lot of times we tend to judge things by past experiences and that it's both genders who do that. Hurtful things especially are difficult to believe can be significantly different with someone new even though given the chance they can. Each and every person is unique and significant for themselves so giving them the benefit of the doubt and trusting that this new situation will work will give it a much better survival rate than automatically deeming it disaster based on past relationships. In fact the only way it can work is to treat it differently. The most important thing though is communication about prior hurt feelings so you know where the actions are stemming from. That way you can work through them.
Do you end the relationship or do you try to work through it?
That depends on the person you're dealing with. What are their positives vs negatives? Are they worth the hard work it takes to resolve past hurts they're holding on to? Are they the type of person who will communicate with you to get to the root of the problem to resolve it so that neither party is holding things inside that can fester later on down the road? Do they lock doors or keep them open? Are they able to hear and do they try to understand the reason something is bothering you? Do you do the same?Are they capable of compromise?? Those are all important issues.
Personally I try as hard as I can to love, trust, hope, respect and have faith that the any relationship I'm in will survive and excell. Regardless of how they treat me back especially in the beginning, my goal is to show them the way it SHOULD be in a healthy loving relationship. Once I do that all I can hope for is that they see someone different in ME who way surpasses who they had before. That way they should eventually be able to let go of past resentments with an understanding that this relationship can be different if not held back by their past fears that it or I will turn out like their previous partner who hurt them.
Can they really move forward and put the past where it belongs?
I believe so but not unless they really want to. One would hope they'd come to see and realize that the new relationship is different from the past ones and that the new person involved treats them differently/better than their prior partners did. Therefore that should hopefully make them willing to work at whatever it takes to make the new one a happy healthy relationship that lasts a lifetime. Of course that means they have to change by treating you differently/openly and not as if they're still with a prior partner who hurt them and they may not even realize they're doing that. IF you do your part to really show them that you possess the qualities needed to build a good solid loving relationship and they can't see it, and if they can't TRUST you that things won't be the same as in their past, and if they can't have faith that this love is something so different and rare, than they'll probably never see it in anyone else either. Talk things out, love from the heart, have compassion for the past, hope for the best.....and that's all any of us can do to give it the best shot.
FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE
...............and the greatest of these is
LOVE

Is trust dead?
Posted:
7/2/2009 6:43:30 AM
Trust is a very important part of all relationships. When I'm involved with someone I need to trust them completely in order to give of myself the way I feel is necessary in order for the relationship to go the farthest it can. I don't believe a relationship can survive without it. Therefore I try to show that trust in every way I can so they know without a doubt that the trust is there. However,
IF
that trust is damaged it would be a loooonnnnng time before I'd be able to trust them again, if ever.
In return I expect the same kind of trust and find THAT necessary for the relationship to exceed as well. Without feeling that I'm trusted completely it would hold me back from various parts of the relationship beginning with delicate conversations I may need to have or giving myself completely in a way that I know is going to be recipricated. They may not even realize that something's missing but I do and know myself and that I'm capable of more things when I feel that I'm trusted which in turn makes me happy. If I'm not happy, and upset from any type of feeling, it's going to take away from something even if it's hidden.
I know people who SAY they trust but when it comes time to proving it they fall short. It may be something so easy and trivial for them but very meaningful to the other person and yet they just don't get it or the damage they're doing by not giving the trust that person deserves. They'll come up with all kinds of excuses, non rational, and certainly none worth making the other person feel like they do. It's almost ridiculous that they'd make the choice they do and hurt the very person they claim to love and trust. I seriously believe they just don't understand. If you love and trust you do it completely or you don't really trust at all. It's that simple. Either someone has your trust or they don't. There's no halfway trusts....
Sometimes I think it stems from past relationships where other partners deceived them in various ways therefore causing them to lose trust or making it harder to trust again. But when it comes to someone new like me for example, I'm not their past partners, I'm ME, someone new and very trustworthy who will give to them in the way that I want to be trusted back. I also think that they don't realize the damage they're doing by carrying past feelings forward instead of starting with a clean slate. It's like saying "I love you BUT"........................... which takes something away.
I can say.....I love them BUT......I need to be trusted the same way that I trust them in order to be happy and give in a way they'll totally benefit from. Trust this, when we're happy and content we're able to achieve much higher goals!

have we met before?
Posted:
7/1/2009 6:02:30 AM
Instead of thinking in a negative manner, perhaps he felt really awkward and didn't know whether or not you wanted him to say anything especially since you were with another male. He'd have no idea what you told that person about your dating life so therefore
remaining silent may have seemed the more respectful thing to do unless you broke the ice first.
He may have also been thinking the same thing you were and wondering why you weren't saying anything. lol Therefore it may not have been to protect himself but rather to respect you. In fact he may have told his date about it once they were alone.
Was there ever a time you two were alone when either of you could have said, "Wow, fancy meeting you here!" If so that would have cleared the air immediately rather than meeting while with other dates and not knowing how to react.
When he introduced himself you could have also asked..."haven't we met before?" and not only opened the door but left it in his hands. If he said "no", you'd know he was underhanded and choosing to hide something for some reason. If he said "yes", you would have had to briefly explain to your dates how you met which could have then led to feeling more awkward especially if asked why it didn't work out. As I said, he was probably just as confused as you were as to how to handle the situation and didn't want to put you on the spot.
Sometimes when we don't know what's appropriate, silence is best.
Adding you to his favorites was a good sign in my opinion. Although people add others for all sorts of reasons
once you actually met in person and they add you
, it's a definite compliment! They're letting you know that even after meeting you that you stand out more than others on here to them, they still like you even if only for a friendship....... and best of all is that
they trust you,
which is most important in all relationships of any kind. (I say "trust" because once you're on their favorites you could bash them in a testimonial if you chose to but obviously he trusts you not to ever disrespect him in that way.) Once again...it's a good sign to me and without signs how would you ever know what he's thinking!
I believe this was his way/sign of reaching out and probably hoping you acknowledge it.

Why can't you just type in the city you want to display if you're concerned that it doesn't match up with the zip code? The zip code is for searches and most zip codes cover an area we should all be willing to drive to. You can also use your "about me" to state anything you'd like about your driving preference in relationship to your area or someone elses.
While I was typing this up I also thought it would be great to add a flirt or icebreaker button for ppl who are 2 shy to talk first?
Some people use their "favorites" or rely on the "who's viewed me" for other's to pick up that they're interested. I wouldn't suggest counting on that as hint though because they're also used for various other reasons too....including some of us who may need glasses and click on thumbnails just to enlarge them.
I believe a simple short message is the best way to let someone know you're interested in them. : )

/Help? That way you'll not only get feedback from members but if a Mod feels it's a good suggestion I'm sure they'll take it to the Admin or perhaps he'll even read it here and consider it himself. If it's not a good idea you may find out the reason why.
You can also write to the Admin directly but I'm sure he's swamped with hundreds of emails and various other problems with keeping up this site with such a large membership base. You can reach him or any of the Mods by clicking on the following link.

Messaging rules don't work properly

I'm not sure but I also believe that it takes more than one contact. You can check here to see if anything clicks or if it leads you to some other help. If not, I'm sure a mod will jump on soon or perhaps another member who had the same problem. Good Luck!

Perhaps someone in your contact history had it listed before but has since changed it and you never noticed it. I'm not sure what happens in that case. Are you sure it isn't because of another restriction they have that's preventing your emails from going through? Age, distance, searching for etc? Sometimes we miss the smallest things.....

Reporting Pictures.

If someone displays 8 pictures of their face, the subsequent 7 pictures likely don't tell me anything different than the first picture does.
Maybe you're still misunderstanding. The 8 pics don't have to be
only
of their face. They can be pics of them doing flips in the air or skydiving as long as
their face is VISIBLE
in each shot so there's no question that it's them in the pic!
However, a picture that shows the person's horse, motorbike, or pets, or the view from their kitchen window, offers a real glimse into their personality and interests.
They can still include pics of their interests as long as
their face is clearly visible
in the pic so we know it's not someone elses horse, motorbike, pet or view out of a kitchen window. : )
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The whole situation regarding pics on POF is a mess. There's around 3 or 4 sets of contradictory instructions, differing standards and no privacy on 'private' images.
I honesty don't understand why so many people are confused when it used to be in BIG BOLD PRINT right on the same page you upload your pics and it's still the number one rule under RULES on the same page.
All images MUST contain you, with a visible head shot.
In ALL due respect, I don't know what's so hard to understand about the word ALL? That means EVERY single pic you upload, private or otherwise.
I agree it kind of pisses me off when I have the restriction for members with photos only and then I get an email from a man with a picture of a sunset or a dog.
It's just away to sneak around restrictions and disregard the others preference.
Those are perhaps the only messages I read/delete.
And they probably don't understand why. LOL
You could always write back with a few short sentences that say..."I chose my restrictions for a reason. No COMPLIANT PIC, no more responses. PERIOD!" I bet they'd still write back though so you'd be right back to read/delete! I guess they'll figure it out sooner or later.

The way I understand it,
-The main picture needs to be a clear visible head shot.
-The other pictures must contain you.
All images MUST contain you, with a visible head shot.
I believe that All the images must contain you....AND
All the images must have a clear visible head shot,
not just the main pic. As long as you are in ALL of them
with a visible head shot
they are acceptable. This is to be sure that you are in All the images you upload and that it is in fact you. : )

The rules of the site as far as images go have always been clearly stated on the same page you upload your pics. Right now it looks like this...
RULES
All images MUST contain you, with a visible head shot.
Cartoons, celebrity, bare torso and joke pictures will be deleted.
*** UPLOADING NUDITY WILL GET YOUR ACCOUNT DELETED!!!
CLICK HERE for information about the images on your profile and why they may be working against you!
To me..ALL images means ALL!
I don't know why you're not seeing the report user under anyone's profile because I just checked and I see it under all of them. Yes, there are many many people who don't follow rules for various reasons. Whether it's because they don't care, they can't read, or any other reason, sooner or later it'll catch up to them. With all the people on this site it does take time though but trust that it is only a matter of time before they lose their pics and possibly their uploading privileges.

I'm not sure what happens if you have a hidden profile but if you want to be sure that no one can see your profile through the who's viewed me page, click on "Mail Settings" on the top of the page. Approx. half way down on the right hand side you'll see.....
(HELP)Allow a user to see I viewed their profile:
Set it to
No.
Afterwards be sure to click on
"Update Mail Settings"
located in the next section down on the left.

Hey, I figured it would help you get rid of all those raffle prizes in a jiffy. "Yeah....I saw her, I think it was her, yeah it looked like her, I think, yeah I'm almost sure it was her. She was over there...then over there, oh yeah and then out there and even under there..
....now give me my prizes."

It looks like this was another fun filled event hosted by Blush111 and CJ461!!! I'm sorry I wasn't feeling well and couldn't be there to take the pics but I was there in spirit just the same!
I tried to crop, lighten and rotate all the pics that were sent to me to upload but if anyone doesn't like how they turned out please email me and as always I'll remove them asap.
