what makes women feel insecure about themselves?
Posted:
7/19/2009 10:50:04 PM
Adversity builds character. It can also rip it to shreds. Kinda like the cartoons you see with the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other, you gotta choose which one you listen too. When you hear something often enough, you start to believe it. For the first 17 yrs of my life I had a mother telling me I was stupid. So I believe it. Then I took an IQ test and found out I had an IQ of 140. Which confirmed I was stupid, stupid for listening to my mother.
I am smart enough to realize I am never gonna be a cover model and though I will never be attractive to all men, there are some men out there who find me beautiful, both inside and out. I don't loose sleep over the ones who think me ugly. I concentrate on the ones that find me attractive and hope I can find the same thing in them. If a woman thinks of herself as ugly, then that is the image she projects. We all have the choice to find whats appealing about us and share that with the world.

Can This Work?
Posted:
7/4/2009 10:46:51 PM
I have spent time with his boys
I went out of my way
I included them in our family
I have called in a favour from a friend
I have made every effort
So what am I suppossed to do?
Sadly enough, these words have been said by the majority of parents as much about their own kids as about step kids. Just wait till your daughter becomes a teenager. My daughter snuck out of the house so many times, we eventually had to nail her window shut and put a padlock on both front and back door. If the house had caught fire, none of us would have survived. She was a terror. I thought I had a hard time with my stepson and he turned out to be almost angelic when compared to my own daughter. But they both got equal treatment. It does not matter if the child is yours or his, they still have to have consequences for their actions and in most families in this day and ages, its Mom enforcing the consequences, not Dad. Specially weekend Dads who are afraid to be to tough on their kids because they only get to see them so briefly.
You also have to figure out the right trigger for each kid. For my son all I had to do was threaten to take his video games away and you'd think it was a fate worse than death, but my daughter, you could take computer, tv, cell phone, even the car and she'd just shrug and say "Go Ahead", Then I took her makeup and jewelry away from her and she was practically on her knees begging and pleading, promising to be the best child in the world. Each child is different and once you find the right trigger you have to make sure you are consistent with it. Boys are also different to deal with. There will come a time when they try to get physical and intimidating. My son shoved me into the cabinets and slapped me one time. I knocked him over the sofa, out the front door, had him down on the ground sitting on him lecturing him for an hour about how a man treats a woman. As far as I know, to this day he has never again raised a hand to a woman.
You treat his kids like your kids. When they are bad they get punished, When they are good they get rewarded. Even when their father will not. I just noticed in my writing above, when I talk about my stepson, most often I refer to him as my son. For the sake of this thread I meant to use stepson, but I think of him as my son and that's how it gets typed out. He's as much mine as if I had given birth to him. For a while with both my kids I had a list of rules on the fridge, along with a list of consequences. They knew what was right and what was wrong and knew that if they broke the rules they'd have to pay for it. If you want this relationship to work, you have to start treating His kids like they are Your kids and be just as consistent with the consequences as you would your own.

A question for you serious-minded men...
Posted:
7/4/2009 10:03:23 PM
I'd have to disagree with your conclusion Arabianangel, Just because a woman knows how to flatter an manipulate men, does not mean that Most men are intimidated by intelligence. Men and Women with IQ's from 10 to 200 are susceptible to being charmed, but when it comes to choosing a Significant Other, they are most likely to choose someone with their same level of intelligence. Most men have an average IQ and if Irish Eyes has a higher than average IQ, there's a good chance Most men could possibly find it intimidating. There is also an even better chance that she is going to find those men undesirable. One of these days, hopefully soon, the right fish will swim by and be just the type she wants. Until then, she may have to wade through the average to find the right one.

A question for you serious-minded men...
Posted:
7/4/2009 7:02:35 PM
I'm not a man, but would like to contribute to this conversation. In my search for a partner, I have several requirements that I specifically look for. A list if you please, that describes what qualities are important to me. There are of course certain looks and styles that I prefer in a man, but the one thing that has always been at the top of my list is finding an intelligent equal. My IQ is above average but not genius level. Which means I am not a brainiac, nor am I an idiot. I just know I would be more comfortable with someone in the same general level. No, I am not intimidated by smarter men, but I do feel I'd be better able to relate to someone in my same category. If a man is intimidated by my intelligence, then he most likely would not be someone I'd be interested in dating. When I receive an email from a man that says "hi how r u? i think u r hot!" I very politely say Thank you but No thank you and move on.
If you think you are intimidating men with your intelligence, then just be patient and wait until someone smarter comes along.

Can This Work?
Posted:
7/2/2009 1:43:26 PM
As repair_guy said, you are separating his kid from your kids just in the description of them. If you plan to have a happily ever after relation with this guy, you might think of better ways of dealing with what could be your step-children. Of course the kids are going to resent you, they think you are taking their daddy away from them. You have to let them know you are adding to the family not taking away. Then you have to stand your ground and give them the same consequences to their actions as you would your own kids. No matter if its a real parent or a step parent, kids need boundaries and you can bet when dad introduces a new woman in the mix, these children are going to push ever boundary available to them. Stand your ground, never back down and never show fear. Once you show them who is in control in your house, you'll gain their respect and eventually their love. I would not trade my step son for the world, but it was a long hard battle to get to that point.

For women in this day an age stereotyping is only used after the fact. When we dump a guy we'll use that as an excuse. As for not going out with a guy, most the time it has to do with his personality, not his race. Shyness is your friends biggest hurdle. He's going to have to gain a bit of confidence in himself, put himself out there more and most of all he has to ASK women to go out with him.

Tweeky.. Tweeky ?!
Posted:

I think the obvious common denominator here is HP. HP puts so much crap programing on their computer that you can never figure out what is conflicting with what. I've used NOD32 for four years now and could not ask for better virus protection. If a customer brings a computer into our shop and insist on one of the free programs, we normally recommend Avast, Avir or Kapersky. Many times on an HP we have to try a few different ones before we find one that won't conflict with HP's junk.

Spybot and ESET NOD32 ....
Posted:
6/29/2009 11:28:41 PM
To the OP, NOD32 does have a bit of a conflict with spybot, so it recommends uninstalling it. Malwarebytes is a good program and runs well with NOD32. I've been using NOD32 for 4 years now and would not switch for love nor money.
prettyfly4wguy, you'rse still young. Hopefully you'll eventually learn not to believe everything you've been told. AVG has a way kewl user interface that is cute when you see it catch a virus. Gives you real comfort to be able to SEE its working. Except for the fact it misses half the viruses that come into your computer. NOD32 is not glowy, flashy, poppy or cutzie. Most the time you have no idea its caught a virus, but its success rate is almost three times higher than AVG. To me its worth the cost. I work on computers daily and have spent hours trying to clean viruses out of machines running Free antivirus software. Its hard to put your trust in them when you can see the damage they can cause by lulling the end users into a false sense of security.

The Big O
Posted:
6/29/2009 10:58:39 PM
As stated by someoe else earlier, you have to learn to satisfy yourself before you can expect a man to satisfy you.
You said you get to the point of shakey legs? Are these involuntary muscle spasms or just tremors from over exertion? There is a place on your clit that is like the tip of a nerve. Thats mostly where the pleasure center is, but if you attack that point to strongly, to quick, then you are desensitizing the nerve and making it more difficult to achieve orgasm. Often we have the problem of our men, who in their hunger to satisfy, they go right for the clit, rub way to vigiourisly which turns us off instead of the stimulation he thinks he is giving.
Try this. Arrange for an evening home alone. Eat a decent dinner so you'll have calories to burn, maybe have a glass of wine to relax. Light some candles in the bathroom and take a nice long hot bath and soak. Put on something slinky, soft and comfortable. Do something with your hair and makeup but just enough that you please yourself by looking attractive to yourself. You can move to the bedroom, but you might also consider an easy reclining chair that you can get comfortable with. If you are worried about making a mess,then put a trash bag under you and toss a blanket over it. Find something that you think is sensual, it could be a book of erotic stories or a soft porn movie you can watch, just something that would arouse you. Make sure your toy/toys are handy. If you can find one, get A mirror so you can see yourself. lotion or oil would help too.
Now remember you are home alone with no pressures from the outside world. No one is going to laugh at you or criticize you. Start off slow. Get in front of the mirror. Slowly strip out of everything you are wearing. Bend, twist, roll and twist to see every part of yourself in the mirror and learn to appreciate your own inner beauty. Use lotion, touch, caress and tease ALL of your body, not just the center anatomy. Take out your book or movie let yourself get lost in the fantasy, all the while be stroking and smoothing the stress from your body. Open your mind to what it is that turns your body on. Each time you feel a quiver in your body, think about what it was that gave it to you. Go slow, but pay attention to what your body is telling you. If your clit is throbbing, juices flowing, its time to get out the toys. Now toys are a great thing, but remember you are the one in control. Stroke around yourself with the vibe till you are close. If your legs twitch, that means you are to hard and heavy on the nerve. Back off and just tease around, slowly increasing speed and pressure. You'll feel your orgasm start to build and your first instinct will be to pull back. Remember there is no one there but you, no one is going to see you. Relax, clear your mind and let it build until it feels like a tidal wave washing over you. Don't worry if you look or sound funny, there are no witnesses. Don't worry about wetting yourself, there is plastic under you and the blanket will wash. Focus on that center spot inside of you and breath as you feel yourself explode. Don't loose that focus until you are finished. Then curl up in the fetal position, lay there are bask in the feeling for about half an hour.
This is your body. Once you figure out what it takes to get you off, then you won't hesitate to show a guy how to get you off.

Celebrity one-nighter

I've not seen much of Ben Miller, but the role he plays in Primeval, that is the type of guy I want. For Women, Eliza Dushku or Jada Pinkett Smith.
Have you noticed none of the women have any problem naming a male and a female answer, but the men are only choosing women celebs??

Help?

Maybe you should take the part out of your profile that says "I'm a loser, out of work musician, who has unrealistic goals" The emails you receive are probably women trying to give you a chance to display your intelligence and hope for positive goals. After a few emails, when they do not find that, then they move on. You might want to go ahead and ask for a meeting or phone number and hope you come across better IRL, than you do on paper.

The fish smell down there?
Posted:
6/25/2009 2:17:52 AM
It is a misconception that the slight fishy odor comes from bad hygiene. Each woman has her own unique scent and poor hygiene can make that scent stronger, even bad smelling, but the fish type odor comes from having a mans semen added into the mix. A woman does not smell fishy, its having a man cum inside her that makes her smell fishy.

gettin him up
Posted:
6/20/2009 12:27:29 AM
There are a wide variety of ways to please a woman that do not require rock solid for hours on end. If he cared about your pleasure, then he'd find a way to see that you are satisfied. It sounds rather selfish from his perspective when you say that now most of your intimate time is spent assisting him in maintaining. Next time you are intimate with him, lay back and say "I go first" if he's not willing to do his part in pleasing you, then kick him to the curb. Once you are satisfied, it should only take a few minutes to take care of him.

Are you prepared to be a step-parent?
Posted:
6/18/2009 8:35:03 PM
Being a step-mom was one of the greatest gifts given to me. It just took several years of fighting to get to that point. My stepson and I worked out a wonderful relationship, but it was not easy. At the beginning he pushed every boundary a kid can. Now, I could not love him more if I had given birth to him. Being a stepparent is not for everyone, but it is worth the effort.

Sex Tips That Will Turn Women OFF...or not????
Posted:
6/14/2009 8:34:35 AM
Geeze, its no wonder men are always complaining that women can rip apart every good idea they have.
I can understand number 1 being a bit irritating, but 5 sounded sweet to me. My late husband use to slip notes into my brief case that I would find later in the day at work. Not to often to make it cheesy but occasional enough to make it special, most were small cards, not necessarily thank you card, but he always wrote something personal on it, that did not mean he never said those things to me in person.
Have you ever had a man apply lipstick for you? Don't knock it till you try it. Though I think the point they were trying to make is to do something personal for her. I think having a guy shave you is great, no need to stop at the legs, and girls we all know how difficult it is to paint our toenails without getting polish all over everything. Its sweet to have a man help you with that chore, specially when he knows he has to wait for them to dry before any other activities can occur.
Salt on the belly? Doesn't exactly sound romantic, but hey, I'd cover myself in steak and potatoes if the guy was willing to lick it off. Men are not as fond of chocolate as women are. It makes sense to give them flavors they like.
When you see it written in black and white, it may not sound like a turn on, but as per usual, actions speak louder than words.

You love your son to death and you want to keep the door open...yet he keeps closing it
Posted:
6/10/2009 4:25:24 AM
You've gotten some good advice Didiheart, but its not all that realistic. Dealing with teenagers is like dealing with space aliens, you're never sure what to expect. The two hardest times in a persons life is when they are teenagers and when their kids are teenagers. When you use terms like "I'm done", or "Waiting it out", you are venturing into very dangerous territory in your relationship with your son. If you don't fight for him now, you'll loose him later.
Our teenagers do not want to like us and they want to push every boundary we have ever set. This is the time they really need you to be strong for them. When your son was 6 yrs old, what would you have done if he said "feck you" or shot the finger at you? I'm sure there would be some form of punishment. It should be no different when they are 13. They have to have consequences for their actions and if you do not give them, you loose their respect, and once lost its almost impossible to get it back.
You can say I love you a million times to your son and its going to go in one ear and out the other. At this time in their lives, they need you to show your love by standing your ground and keeping control. You have to love them enough, not to let then make bad decisions. Of course he knows he is being hurtful and he probably doesn't even know the reason he is being that way. What you have to do is show him you love him enough not to tolerate that type of behavior. A clear set of rules and punishments that you stick to are the best way to deal with this age because you have several years of it and its only going to get worse.
The best advice I can give is never show fear and never back down. He won't realize it until he's about 25, but will appreciate that you cared enough to keep control of him.

Another Nice Guy Thread... Possibly the Answer To It All
Posted:
5/27/2009 11:48:48 AM
Brenoso, of course women play headgames, as do men. I've dated lots of nice guys and found the majority of them to be weak willed. I do demand respect in my relationships and usually get it, but the key factor is that I also have to respect him too. Most women and me in particular will push for what we want, but we don't want a guy that lets us roll right over him. We prefer a man who will push back (and I'm not talking physically). A man who will not only stand up for us, but be able to hold his own against us. Voice his opinion even when it differs from ours. Yes I can play headgames with the best of them, but if a guy earns my respect, then the headgames are fun and games and not manipulation. You'd not be able to label him nice guy because he will be very complex. I know they exist, I was married to one and lost him way to soon. One of the major things I missed were the arguments we had that were stimulating, not hateful. A big problem with nice guys is they do not know how to argue with women. Whats ironic is that most nice guys want the real women, not the mealy mouth nice women, yet they don't come close to being able to play on the same court that we do.

Another Nice Guy Thread... Possibly the Answer To It All
Posted:
5/25/2009 5:34:44 PM
I mean, if a person is being a Nice Person, I'm pretty sure they expect it in return as well someone's validation of their niceness.
That may be something you tell your children when their in grade school and one of the other kids were mean to them.
I just want to know exactly what it is that limits nice guys in the dating pool before they become only "marriageable".
What limits a nice guy is we do not want nice guys. Nice guys are emotionally stunted. Nice guys think a smile and an "I'm sorry" solve any problems. But relax, we also don't want the bad boys either. We want men. Real man who can show us their entire range of emotions. Men who can get angry with us and say so while still not letting their anger become violent. Men with passion who are willing to give as good as they get and share as much in our pleasure as we share in theirs. Men who take pride in themselves and us. Men who are proud enough not to fall for the head games some women like to play.
I am not a nice person and I do not want a nice man. I am a good person with an over abundance of sarcasm who wants a man emotionally strong enough in himself who is also able to deal with my personality.

moving away
Posted:
5/25/2009 10:44:24 AM
Kids are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. I not only moved my 13 yr old daughter away from the only home she had ever know, but also moved her to a foreign country with a different language. She was terrified and did not hesitate to tell me so loudly and often. Yet a month after we are there, she is speaking like a native and teaching her classmates whats cool and not cool in the US.
Sometimes even when you have kids, you have to make the move that is best for you. Most times it turns out to be good for them too.

Look at the bright side, the kids are still young. By the time they reach their teens you'll have them bound and gag, while waiting for dad to come pick them up. By the teen years they'll be able to run a date off faster than you can make one.

So when do you tell someone that you're no good in bed?
Posted:
4/27/2009 9:25:06 PM
First of all, buy a Rabbit, and I'm not talking the fuzzy flop eared kind of bunny. After the Rabbit vibrator you may never need a man again. But I digress.
Seriously, get yourself a couple of toys and experiment with them. Discover YOUR body and what pleases it. You may find this hard to believe, but there are many men, almost the majority of them who are just as interested in what pleases you, than just trying to get themselves off and go home. Once you find out what pleases you, you then have the opportunity to inform the person you are with, what you like and dislike. EVERY woman has some little idiosyncrasy that can often feel like pouring ice water on her in mid copulas. I have certain words are actions that will bring activity to a screeching halt, long enough for me to say "Hey dude, we ain't going there" and he immediately stops and changes tactics. Men also have the same foibles, they may stop you from doing something you think he might like and tell you "Lets try something else." Every man and woman have different things that please them. A good relationship is a time of discovery for that makes the both of you happy.
Therapy is always a good thing, but even with therapy, you have to discover your inner sexual being and what brings about your satisfaction before you can ever let a man know what to do, and especially what not do to.

Adult Dating Sites and Intimate Encounters
Posted:
4/18/2009 10:36:36 PM
"How do women feel about men who choose to use them? I don't recall ever letting myself be used and on the very few times I've had sex on the first date, the guy was not using me, we were using each other, so to speak. I don't consider sharing the experience a form of use on either side. Step into the new millennium, woman are allowed to enjoy sex as much as men and we no longer have to expect them to love and marry us after we have sex with them. If a woman feels used, then its because she has hopped in bed with expectations that were not communicated to the man before hand. In this day and age a woman is allowed to let a man know she wants to romp around the bedroom with him and not have to cook and clean for him afterward. You find a guy on line you think is hot, then go for it. Use protection and enjoy yourself, the only person you have to answer to is yourself.

You are definitely not alone, but you are blowing things a bit out of proportion.
Every single person here, deep down inside, really wishes to make the right connection. To find someone who is the yin to their yang. Unfortunately, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your Prince Charming. The major difference here is how men and women handle it. We might catch a mans interest enough for him to set up a date with us, but if the man gets there and finds out the woman is not his happily after, then his thoughts are "maybe I can just bang her and move on to the next one". The flip side to that is women think, "maybe if I sleep with him, he'll see how fantastic I am and want a relationship". So you end up with a man who hides his profile and won't return calls and a woman who is beating herself up because she thinks she fell for another mans lies.
If we were all honest with each other, there'd be a lot more people getting up about fifteen minutes into the date, saying "I'm sorry, you are not what I am looking for." We are just to programed not to hurt someones feelings directly, that we end up doing more damage by not saying how we honestly feel.

How Do Kids Take To A Parent Dating Again?
Posted:
4/7/2009 8:17:27 PM
Elvenstar, sit back and enjoy the ride. My kids got very inventive when I started dating and they took bets on which one of them could run my date off the fastest. By their mid teens they were interrogating my dates and by late teens, they thought they should pick my dates out for me. Stand your ground and don't let your kid run roughshod over you and you'll make out just fine. Remember, in their own twisted way they really do want you to be happy.

Question for guys actually, from a guy...
Posted:
3/27/2009 9:30:40 PM
I'm not a guy but maybe I can give you a bit of perspective. When I was 19 I married a guy who was 29. Thanks to an abusive childhood, by 19, I was about 50 yrs old mentally. I had grown up way to fast and there was no way I could have been compatible with any man my age. I needed someone as mature as I was. My husband was kind and patient with me, he also had as many battle scars as I had, so the relationship worked well. Age is just a number, if she is mature enough, then it doesn't matter if she is twenty years younger than you. It can still work out if both parties are willing.

Sex is over-rated
Posted:
3/16/2009 1:19:51 AM
Sex isn't over-rated, its what we were designed for, to be fruitful and multiply. From the time we are born, our bodies are developing towards sexual maturity with hormones, estrogen and testosterone, which are the chemical reactions that program us to crave mating. Isn't it grand that such great feelings can be derived from it. I've had good sex, bad sex, true love sex, friends with benefits sex, sex alone and sex with somebody. People and sex come in different shapes, forms and fashions, each with its own level of pleasure. I feel sorry for those going without because they think its over-rated
In the words of Mae West. "Even when I'm bad, I'm very good."

how to introduce my partner to my teens
Posted:
2/18/2009 8:15:11 AM
You guys are so sweet with your answers and they are correct, just a simple introduction. Bring him to your house, introduce your kids. No sweat, the kids will be on their best behavior and so nice it will surprise you.
It usually takes them about two weeks of plotting before they start trying to run him off, and trust me, my kids could be very inventive when trying to run a guy off. My daughter use to invent emergencies that would cut a date short and one night my son told a guy I was dating, "Bring her home early, she has a date with another guy tomorrow night."
The introduction is the easy part, its getting the guy to hang around afterward that can take skill and cunning.

Realistic fantasies that women might have.

If you have a fantasy, live it! Whats the use of having an imagination if you don't act on it. My favorite was the third floor balcony overlooking Bourbon St. during the Mardi Gras parade!

How often are you having sex and considering yourself to be single ?
Posted:
2/18/2009 7:52:59 AM
It is so foreign to me that one could have sex with someone somewhat regularly and not consider that a meaningful relationship.
Haven't you ever heard of FWB, Friends with Benefits? You don't have to be madly in love to have sex. The purely physical without the emotional baggage can be lots of fun as long as you can both agree its non-committed.
It (not surprisingly) blows my mind that those people are even here, what are you looking for that you don't already have, and why are you looking for it in someone else ?
The same thing everyone else is looking for! "True Love!"
I've been divorced for 10 yrs. I've gone without for over a year, entered into a couple of relationships that did not work out, had a FWB for a while where we had more sex than most married people. Now I'm back to going without for a while and still searching for that elusive spark. Single is what we are and totally separate from our sex life. Most of us have sex, whether its with BOB, our hands, FWB or entering into a new relationship, but we are single until we are committed to another person.
Abelian, I've had one partner in the last year, 4 in the last ten years. The reason we are not so outspoken on the subject is because men still tend to stereotype. If men have multiple partners then he's a player, if women do, then she's a slvt. Most women aren't after sex, they are almost always looking for something more. That does not mean they are not going to have sex until they find it.

How pets came into our lives
Posted:
2/16/2009 10:31:28 PM
I have 3 cats. The first one I got from a friend who was adopting a little girl and in one of the social services interviews it was recommended she get rid of the cat until the adopted child was adjusted to her new home. A beautiful solid black cat named Bear.
The second cat is a silver Persian. Beautiful cat. One of my closest, dearest friends passed away and three days after her funeral, her husband calls and says either come get the cat or he'd throw it outside. The cat cost my close friend $500, so I went and got her. I named her Princess Donna after my friend, may she rest in peace knowing her cat is being well taken care of.
Third one is a Siamese Himalaya, My best friends daughter rescued this cat from a household that was abusing it. She took it home and between her kids and dogs the cat was so terrified, it hid under her desk for two weeks. She finally brought it to me to see if it would be more comfortable at my house because I have no dogs or kid. The cat spent the first week under my bed but eventually wandered out and got comfortable with this environment. She's now part of the family. Her name is Daphne.

One hell of a story - Me vs. a Virus
Posted:
2/15/2009 5:44:05 PM
STeelCity, you are right in saying no antivirus is Fool proof, but you'll not find one better than NOD32. Most the techs who have been introduced to NOD32 have ditched their usual AV and gone with it, even those of us who hate to pay for any software when there are so many free versions on the net. Actually I've used AVG and even recommended it for years until Verson 8.0 came out. It started using too many resourses and letting too many viruses through. To much of my computer repair work these days has turned into cleaning viruses out of computers, the majority of which have Nortons, McAfee and AVG. You want to stick with free go with Avast, it currently has a better catch record than AVG. Comodo is good but irritating.
The point I was trying to make tddrums, is that I can comfortably run those programs on my computer and not worry about anything getting through. If you are downloading from either of these places and one of the files has a virus in it, Nod doesn't just quarantine it, it stops the download and will not let it come into your computer. I went to Malware Bytes home page and do not see anything in the program that says virus protection. The real time protection is for spyware, adware and malware as far as I can tell.
GD69, If Piratebay charged a penny a download I'd be in the poor house now. :)

Getting turned on
Posted:
2/11/2009 11:33:12 PM
I think SSFOX's steriods fried his brain, don't listen to him. If you are just 19, then its no surprise you are unsure of everything. However, don't pass up the chance to grow and mature into a vibrant sexual being. If you've been having sex with this guy for "a while", then he's probably been pretty tolerant of your comfort zone, under the sheets with the lights off. He's not pushing you by wanting sex on top the covers or with the lights on. He's trying to get the relationship to develop into something satisfying for the both of you. You gotta give a little and take a little.
Great sex takes two people who are willing to give as much satisfaction as they get. If you want him to please you, you have to do a few things to please him. That does not mean you have to give into everything he wants, it means you have to share. Under the covers can be difficult, tangled bedsheets and restricted movement. Give over and throw the bed clothes to the side and when your finished just toss them back over each other. If lights totally freak you out, try a candle lit on the far side of the room. Trust me we all look better in candle light than in the glare of a 100watt bulb. Give yourself the chance to see the passion in his eyes and how turned on you make him. Few times of seeing that reaction and you'll be dancing on the table for him. You don't have to throw off all your inhibitions in one night but if you give a little each time, you'll get back much more in return.

Malware Bytes is NOT antivirus. You said you had AVG on there which is antivirus but is worthless. I use Limewire, Graboid and have several torrent places I use, but my computer is also protected by NOD32 antivirus. It never lets the Drive-by-Download past the first port, puts it in quarentine and I keep right on using my computer. About once a month I run Malwarebytes and it picks up all the odds and end tracking cookies. The best way to deal with these viruses is to stop them from coming into your computer and NOD32 does just that!

Searching for a new laptop...need suggestions from all
Posted:
2/5/2009 9:11:58 AM
Pricewise, Acer would probably be the best way to go. I've seen a noticeable improvement in their systems over the last couple of years. Never rely on the manufacture for good tech support on a laptop unless you are comfortable mailing your machine away from home for a month at a time, unless you get the door to door warranty and most times that blows the price right out of competition. The best tech support I ever got was from Toshiba. I think the only reason Dell and HP support techs are still breathing is because we do not know where they are. If someone put out a location on them I think every independent computer repair technician in the US would gather for a lynching party.

I give the same answer. I want something simple, respect, compassion, understanding and integrity. I also tell them I want someone who can make me scream in three octaves. They don't run away so fast after that. If you are going to be honest about what you want, Be honest about what you want.

Pets: too much work for the single parent?
Posted:
1/25/2009 7:44:04 AM
I have 3 cats and the best investment I ever made was an electric litter box. It cost about $100 and at the time I thought that was outrageous but now would not trade it for the world. Uses clumpable litter, after the cat gets out it has a rake that goes across the box and scoops the clumbs into a covered tray at the end. When its full you snap a lid on the tray and toss it in the trash. Seriously cuts down on the cat smell in the house.

Too Many Choices For A Computer
Posted:
1/16/2009 11:42:21 PM
NullWolf's post is very informative, easy to understand and I agree with with everything he says except for one comment. I believe the motherboard is the most important part of a computer. Size matters. Good processor speed is important and anything 2.ghz or higher is preferred. Lots of hard drive space because programs and files are getting bigger all the time. And Trust me, a girl can always use more memory. But whats the use of having a fancy saddle if you are going to put it on a donkey??? A good quality motherboard will make all the difference in the way your computer responds to you. I prefer Asus, Tyan or DFI motherboards. When you choose a name brand computer like Dell, HP or Gateway, you have no idea what motherboard they have in them and in most cases they are mass produced low end boards. For myself and for my customers, I start with a good quality MB and build up from there. The peripherals you can search for the best price of the size you want. With a good foundation, you can get a system that will last you years.

Too Many Choices For A Computer
Posted:

Places that are in buisness to build have support but places such as tigerdirect i would'nt count on anything
Not sure about tigerdirect.com but I get all my parts from Directron and they have wonderful tech support. Trying to call Dell or HP tech support is a trial in patience. Most of their system are upgradable too.
I'd be really wary of buying from a local or mailorder system builder. While I'm sure there are good ones out there somewhere, just about every system I've seen has had serious weaknesses.
You pick the parts that go in a customer build so any weaknesses are of your own choosing.
Systems from Gateway and Dell, on the other hand, seemed to built from high-quality parts
I'm not sure what reality you are in but I have two Dells benched at the shop that have cheap MSI boards in them and I would not own a Gateway if it was given to me.
FYI. Windows 7 is Vista without the pretty pictures. I'll stick with XP.
Soberkitty, if you are going back to school a laptop would make sense, but I have a lot of trouble typing on a laptop. When I was taking classes, I'd carry a recorder and then transpose the notes on my desktop at home.
Edsta, I've not seen to many Asus laptops but they do seem like good machines. The one that surprises me is Acer laptops and machines. In the last year I've seen some very good running Acer machines and I got myself a pink Acer One netbook and its great for being mobile. Its an 8.9" laptop running XP on it.

Too Many Choices For A Computer

If you are looking for a desktop and not a laptop, I'm going to step outside the box a bit here and recommend a custom built system. Directron.com has some midrange systems you can get in the $300 range that are 3.4 ghz dual core, 2 gigs of ram, 250 gig hard drive with DVD burner and a 128mg video card which is sufficent if you are not into gaming or heavy duty video editing. They will even install Windows on it for you which ever version you choose. You want to increase to a 3.8ghz processor w/4 gigs ram you can still stay under $500.
I prefer a custom build because they only come with what you put on there. No recovery partitions, no restore cd's, no excess junk programing that you will never use. You don't get trial versions of Norton's or McAfee that use all your resources and bombard you with renewal offers. You also get a quality motherboard, not whatever mass production deal Dell or HP got at the time. You get a 1 year warranty from Directron and quite often the hardware comes with a 2 or 3 year manufactures warranty.
I just use Directron as an example since that is where I buy my parts and know they have a good reputation, but there are others out there like Tigerdirect.com and Newegg.com that I have heard have good prices, but I've never used them.

Instant Family - Roles of the New Spouse
Posted:
1/8/2009 11:30:58 PM
In a way you are right Lance, a woman is not an instant mother. But I have been a step mother and there is a certain amount of parenting that has to be done by both parties even though the kids are not forced to consider the Step a Mother or Father. Whether its your kids or her kids, rules have to be set and you both have to maintain a united front.
When my late husband and I married, he had a son and I had a daughter. I did not try and be a mother to the boy. I did however establish the boundaries. If you've ever been in this position, you'll know the kid will push those boundaries and you either have to stand firm, push back or get run over. The first year seemed like a constant battle, but eventually we established a friendship and from there progressed into a familial bond as strong as any mother and son can have. He is now 30 with kids of his own and though he still refers to me as StepMonster or his Wicked Step Mother, I could not love him more if he was my own.
There does not have to be a biological connection to be family and it does not happen instantly. If you give it time and caring, it can grow into something strong and special.

Do most women hate sex, and only do it to please men?
Posted:
1/3/2009 5:17:16 PM
Really there are women like you out there? Then how do you explain this constant barrage of whiney" I was used and kicked to the curb after he got what he wanted" threads I see in the forums 100 times a day?.
This is the same as the male version of "Why won't women date nice guys?" thread. They whine because they can.
Yes women can enjoy sex, very much so and we have no problem using a man for sex. I use to have a T-shirt that said, "I'm not Ms. Right, but I'll F**k you till she gets here." The reason there are friends with benefits type of relationships is because many woman are not patient enough to sit around celibate waiting for the right man to come along. The biggest problem we encounter in these type of relationships is stereotyping. Men are Studs and women are $luts. I was in a situation with a guy who was an excellent lover and our relationship started off good with a clear understanding that there was no commitment involved. However he could not get past his Redneck Catholic upbringing that lowered his opinion of unmarried sexual women. I am a hard working, very respected in my field, woman who can be fun and interesting. But I will not tolerate disrespect from a man who think I should not be allowed to enjoy the same type of healthy sex life he is. Having a lover does not make me less of a woman.
