I love happy love stories
I just saw Mimi blog. She doesn't allow comments but I wanted to say I'm so happy to see how she is.
Seems CS works. Lovely love story happened and is still going. I have always loved her frankness.
Hugs and kisses Mimi and Art.
P.s Art hope you enjoyed the cake, I consider you a very brave man.

Ever feel like you want to tell someone you love them . . .
. . .but are afraid of the consequences of that, if/when they take it out of context?
I've been talking to this guy for a few months. Even went out to Florida last month, to help care for him after having screws surgically removed from his ankle; which he was ordered to keep elevated for 2 to 3 weeks, Post-Op.
While staying in his apartment, it became very clear to me that he and I are not compatible enough. VERY very close. Soooo close, butno cigar kinda shiznit.
The weird thing is, I truly love and appreciate him. Like I feel so much for him in my heart, but the connection isn't strong enough to make anything. Plus there was zero tantra, so of course that made the whole thing dead in the water (apart from other SERIOUS concerns).
People often confuse "I Love You" with "I'm IN LOVE With You" <<<< this sh*t right here is not cool; drama follows swiftly with that kinda b.s.
It makes me sad, because the other day, I felt him so deeply in my heart and wanted so badly to tell him I love you. However, the backlash once this ends - because it WILL - is so not phukking worth me even saying it.

The one that didn’t get away….
Art and I were in an on-off LDR and when he told me that he would like to visit me in Malaysia, I was skeptical at first but travel he did!
First meeting in person in February 2017. Forget about having had butterflies in my stomach, I had the whole zoo in there!
What people don’t tell you about meeting someone you met online for the first time, is how risky it is. You will meet someone without knowing if that person has a body odor or not. Neither Art nor I have BO, thankfully. Phew!
In fact, he always smells better than I do!
After being married for 2 years now, I finally muster up enough courage to speak up…
You wouldn’t really know the person you meet online until you live with that person for some time.
Snoring. OMGee. You know how irritating to be sleeping next to a person who snores like a pig?
House chores. Imagine your partner just sits around and does not lift a finger to help out with the cleanliness of the house? Unwashed pots, pans, plates, mugs etc..etc…etc in the sink.
Money. All your partner knows is how to spend money by buying frivolous things.
Cooking. Say you’re a fabulous cook, that even the smoke alarm cheers you on, and you have to put up with your partner’s terrible + horrible + miserable cooking. Really?!?
I bet Arty didn’t know what he signed up for …… but it’s too late now coz MiMi is staying put and not going anywhere!
I didn’t know how badly I snore until my son told me. We were at a relative’s house a couple of years ago where he and I had to share a bed. I was sound asleep when he jolted me up from my slumber. “Mommy! I can’t sleep with you sounding like a helicopter landing!!!!”
Art does most of the house chores. If given the chance, he will do it all! So, in order to look ‘useful’, I said to him, “Let me do the laundry and I’ll fold them after they’re done”. He reluctantly agreed and there was one incident where I went out with a friend and when I got back, lo and behold! Laundry done, folded and put away!! I was so furious that I punched the wall! My friend laughed and commented, “You’re the only person that I know that will get mad when her husband does the house work! You’re nuts!!”
Art is a minimalist. Before I moved in with him, his house looked like a showroom. I remember my first haul. It was 2 months after I moved in. His older sister had a yard sale and his younger sister drove me there. I saw something that I like and both sisters looked at me and spoke in chorus, “You think our brother will let you get that?!?!” I winked at them, “What he doesn’t know won’t kill him”
I got home and used the garage door to get in, thinking I would just leave them things there until it was safe to bring them up. Just my luck, he was in the shower. Seizing the chance, I quickly ran down the steps ( yup running even with my bad knees! ) and got my things stashed away in my wardrobe! I was like a thief in the night!!
Over the months, I discovered Goodwill and other thrift stores, much to his horror!! You should’ve have seen his face each time I asked him to drive me there….it’s like he’s given a death sentence.
“You know MiMi, I can always get these things new for you?”
“No, Art. You don’t get it, do you? With the same amount of money I can get much more things at Goodwill! You have always like to see your money stretched, no?” *insert innocent eyes*
Nothing needs to be said about my cooking…I’ve talked enough of Art’s misery in having to eat my cooking already.

Nairobi, Kenya...
I've always been suspicious when several new members from the same country show up on the same day. That used to happen with women in the Philippines. I learned they didn't have internet access and several would gather at the cafe, pool their money to buy online time and create a bunch of profiles in one session.
Fraud is a bigger part of dating sites with many local scammers, so one doesn't have to travel far to find a fake profile.
Tipping the scale in Connecting Singles this week happens to be an overflow of new profiles from Kenya. Nairobi being the main city listed. In a 24 hour period, I counted 37 female members from Nairobi and 13 from other cities like Mombasa. I suspect the 'energy' creating 50 of these profiles isn't coming from 50 real members. I'd wager it's only one or a small connected (scammer) group.
It's doubtful the average CS user is seeking a mate from Africa, but it casts doubt on every new profile here including the ones that pass as the 'girl next door' with no suspicious details.
Overall, I've noticed more than a few dozen of the profiles I reported that were obvious fakes haven't been deleted. It's been happening a few months now. A few are actively checking in but most are dormant. I think the trick on another site was to change/lock the password so the scammer couldn't get back in and the profile stayed in the listing. The reason for that is membership kept growing. If the moderator deleted al the bogus profiles, half the site would be gone!
Nairobi... we've got 'em

Suppression of Women...my response to Soc
Hello Soc,
Congratulation are certainly in order for those women of the Olympics and many others. applause
I know you are a philosophical and theoretical guy....so, I figured I would toss this theoretical question/scenario out there to you.
You are asserting that women should assert their power because they have been suppressed for many years. I don't contest that. Now, when you say that women have suppressed for many years, I am assuming you are talking about suppression caused from marriage. To use the words "many years" would indicate to me you are speaking of the years when marriage was prevalent in society.
So right now you are probably thinking to yourself...no....I am not only talking about the years of marriage...but I am also talking about their unfair employment in the working community, where women had to be dependent upon the man for their financial livelihood also.
I know you are not talking about women asserting their power in sports....because they have already been doing that for many years.
So, if you are talking about the suppression of women for years in the union of marriage, I would say that for the most part, that is the exact dynamics of marriage. Each person, in a typical marriage, had their roles. That is how and why marriage thrived for so many years and conflicts between the couples were held to a minimum. Everyone in the marriage, freely got involved in the marriage because they knew what their roles were to be. The man was the breadwinner, protector, and provider; where as, the woman was the important job of homemaker, nurturer, and organizer.
Now, in this institution of marriage, it would be very ignorant to think that there was not some outright abuse going on within it. I would bet my bottom dollar on the fact that there were some men that were abusive to their woman. It would be equally ignorant to believe that there were not some women abusive to their men. So in the case where men were abusing women, I totally agree with you...some were most likely being suppress and I solute them regaining their power.
However, if both the man and the woman entered into a union of marriage both knowing their roles that marriage proposes, how is it that women (in general) have been suppressed for years? If that is the case, then haven't men been also suppressed for years as well? Otherwise, were not both men and women both just fulfilling their obligations to what marriage entails and by doing so, sustaining a society that has grown a population that some would argue is overwhelming the planet?
So the ultimate question is this Soc....is it really suppression of women you should be encouraging to be overcome....or is it the institution of marriage you should be protesting against?

" with Age A Different Mind Set "
I was in a relationship for 19 yrs , from the age of 23.We have two beautiful children.
When I look back at myself, I can't believe it was me. He was very lazy , I done everything in the home even decorating. He never liked work ,I've supported him many a times when his been unemployed. He never took me out , he never brought me anything. Everything I've ever owed I've brought myself. I worked two jobs at one stage. He would rather spend his money on PlayStation & Games , Gambling, Decks. It was me myself & I where he was and still is concerned. We had never been abroad, the one and only time I saved & payed ,as I wanted my kids to experience it.
You probably wondering why I stayed ? I ask myself that question?. I think as we get older & Wiser , We find ourselves. I've become much more relaxed & Happy within. " I know who I am & what am about " & I know my worth".
I Haven't gotta tell anyone that I'm Decent, Loyal , Kind , Loving, Honest , Have Morals & Dignity Because I Know I Am & That's All That Matters.
I'm an empath & have always helped everyone all my life.
It was the best decision leaving him & starting a new life. My kids were happy we split, they always said you deserve a better life & why was I ever with him. There's no bad blood & we remain friends, but I look at him and wonder what I ever saw in him. He gross's me out. LoL
I've never been happier in my whole life , I have a beautiful home & a rewarding job. Just missing my forever companion, Lover ,Best friend.
I will not settle for anything less then the best , I know my worth, I'm rich with Love & Peace in my Heart.

Tribute To Connecting Singles
Amid the corridors of the internet
There's a website called Connecting Singles
It's portrayed as a dating site, and yet
Some folks are there merely to intermingle
It's a mix of different nationalities
Which gives it an international flavour
It features attitudes of all varieties
Ideal for a study of human behaviour
There's a mixture of blogs, forums and poetry
In which all are free to participate
Some do so very unassumingly
While others tend to argue and debate
Some interaction is innocent banter
With others, it can get to a heated stage
Where sparks fly that sometimes ignite a fire
Some get burned while others get in a rage
The site moderators seek to maintain order
And to prevent things from getting out of hand
So please be mindful of your behaviour
Else in Connecting Singles jail you may land

BEHIND A SWEET PROFILE
LESSON TO MY FELLOW WOMEN HERE!!!
When a guy asked to chat outside here be aware of him. (FAKE)
The next thing is to ask for your photos (PERVERT)
BUT if you ask for a video call he will make up an excuses just to avoid it ?? and you will never hear from him again
(SCAMMER)
Comment if you have experienced such
