Before any of you hear this joke in a back alley somewhere, I thought I’d tell here first. A buddy of mine who’s a pretty creative writer came up with this one yesterday. It went like this - “I was walking down the street today when I saw a sign outside a video rental shop that said the new DVD release “There Will be Blood” was available. I have heard of that movie but, I had to ask myself, “I wonder if that’s a period movie?”

See ya

Louis, this could be the start of a beautiful relationship.

…and just about everything else they said in Casablanca.

So who likes being/staying naked in the morning and why? Do you hate it when it becomes time to get dressed and face the world? If you’re like me, we might prefer not wearing clothes around the house, but have you ever wondered if you are your neighbours “ugly/naked guy” as in the Friends TV show (or better said “ugly/beautiful/handsome naked guy/gal“). Even if you were, would it bother you that your neighbours might be watching you?

Don’t forget - “Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder…er…I mean the beholder.”

Thanks for the concern Pucks, but no sense in giving any more attention to that sort of thing than absolutely necessary.

I want to thank everyone for their responses. As most of you know, asking a question leads to enlightenment. Sometimes those answers confirm pre-held bias and sometimes they create new paths of thinking. The reason I asked women, primarily, about dogs is because I expected a diverse, emotional, intelligent and conversational response, which is exactly what I got. The responses from some of the men were, in some cases, angry, demeaning and unnecessary, which was a bit of a surprise and a clear separation of thought process. For me, the information garnered and learned (from both genders) was worth asking the question. In-the-end, love is a wonderful thing regardless of species.

For some dog (or for pets in general) lovers the passion really comes through sometimes, and kinda give me goose bumps. My interest has been (see comment about ex-girlfriend‘s pack order) that some women are replacing men with dogs.

Concerning the terms unconditional love and loyalty, does that mean that men, at least as far as some people (and I include perceptive men in this comment) believe that men are not trustworthy or capable of loving? Are we really jerks of that caliber? Is there no room near the top of the pack for us?

Here is a short(ish) question for everyone one out there, but particularly for dog owning women. What’s the deal with dogs?

Personally, I'm not a pet owner but, over my single years (the last 8) I’ve noticed, what seems to me, and I may be wrong here, an increasing number of women putting their dogs a little bit ahead of pretty much everything else. From first dates walking the dog, to their dog taking a prominent position in their profile picture all the way to that really bad (luckily a short run) movie “Must Love Dogs” which is of course, a head line (caption etc.) we’ve all seen from time to time on websites like this one. I even had an ex-girlfriend who explained my position in our newly formed “pack” once. That order being; her, her dog, and then me (hey - I beat out the hamsters and the fish).

Anyway, I have my ideas on this subject, but I’d prefer to remain coy and leave the real answers to those who have the real answers. Any bites?

I realize that a lot of people have work related issues, personal, friend/family issues which raise concerns about publicly posting a picture. I also realize that the fear of being teased, or embarrassed by people they know can be a strong deterrent to posting one and I certainly felt the same way a while back. I dealt with the “online dating” embarassment problem by telling people I’ve met several very nice people on-line, dated several (one for nearly a year) and that not only is it a modern way of meeting people it’s simply a way of opening up my options in life. A few teases and jostles later and it’s old news. You’ll probably even find a lot of the potential tormenters use these websites to meet people as well.

I still find it a little odd though that some people feel looking for a new mate and best friend is somehow something that needs to be hidden from those they know. We go to parties, pubs, and many other places to meet people without even the slightest tinge of embarrassment. Of course some of the faceless ones are looking to cheat on their spouse/partner and some are simply not who they say they are.

But, after all, we are here to meet people and, this is of course only a personal opinion, but not being able to see them kind of irks me a little. If I were to go to a party (other than a costume party of course) where 90% of the people there wore hoods or masks over their faces I’d probably run screaming from the room.
