When something is too good to be true it seldom is. Are you sure that man(or woman) is only professing love to you? Or are you the reciepient of email that has been sent to thousands? Are they telling you that you are the "one" but in the meantime emailing every other available person?

Be very careful with your affections and I'd leave that profile unchanged!

well there is always an exception to the rule!!!


i am oops I am too good to be true! and I am as real as sweat on a hot day!!! We all still do that don´t we lol!! in certain conditions! xxx good morning Plarkin !

Wooo,
Parklin, seeing something we should know about?
It is wise to be careful, yes. There are some in here that will play games just to get off on hurting someone. Been there.
Too late, my profiles been changed, lol. But, it's a good thing...:)
Gets so you can spot them if you look. Too good to be true, yup. Nothing is be perfect, ever.
If that person is telling you things in email, but other things don't add up, think.
I was very lucky, actually. And, we've done well. Meetings on webcam with Daniel and his daughter are so nice. And, getting to know his Mom was a treat:)
YTou can tell folks to be careful, but some just don't listen...

Parklin...

This is the opportune time to say, "told ya so...". LOL!
Go ahead, I can take it...:)
BTW, changed it again:P

TabooN that's too bad! The plans of men and mice alas come to dust. Didn't last a day? You poor thing. :(

Well, I shouldn't have jumped, but I did...lesson learned well. We'll see how things go...But, I am still open and Me. A good thing:)

Thanks, hon...

You know what? We always put on our best face for our potential suitors/ladyloves, and for whatever reason horrified that one of our "faults" may be discovered and make us look less appealing. Do we not realize that sooner or later these faults will show up sooner or later and we will eventaully have to deal?

Best to face reality, be yourself, warts and all and let the chips fall where they may.

I think 90% of us set our sites too high anyway, and that's why some don't get picked for kickball...


Joanne

Agreed...
I didn't set myself up too high, though. Just went with it...Only so much you can do, right? I still care, and will later. Just who I am. I know what I want...and, if it hurts to get there, then I have learn, eh? Like I said, If one wants to share my journey and thiers, then they'll do what it takes...We'll see what happens. In the meantime...
Cannot tip toe around waiting life out. That doesn't work:)

Oh, I am sure you didn't, Nene.


I guess what I meant was that often there is a rose among the thorns, and we tend to overlook that. Everyone is all about appearances instead of what's inside. Or looking specifically for a certain "j'nais c'est quoi" and rejecting someone instead of really giving them a chance and taking them as a whole.

Like living for a dream that may never come true.


I think we need to look at life the way our grandparents did and love and accept people on a simpler scale.


Joanne

I understood you, hon. all is fine:)

Simpler is good. Yet, we are not so simple. Balance is hard to come by, but we can...

Looks mean nothing. It's skin...Every part and scar has it's beauty, I feel. But, that's just me.

There are some truth that are quite simple that are difficult for folks to hear. If that is the choice, then they are deafened to so much more out there...

Hell, here I go again, LOL!:P

Well Joanne, I agree. I try to present myself as I am. Unfortunately it doesn't help in my case as a lot of women look at my height and immediately reject me as possible good relationship material. Then if they get past the height they see the balding head or the few extra pounds. I'm not trying to sound bitter because believe me I'm not(I'm okay with myself the way I am). And I'm certainly not painting all women with the same brush(there are some very nice women in the worls). But the fact remains that a lot of women profess that they care more about what's on the inside and yet they don't get to know someone because they're shorter or going bald.
You don't sound like that type of person so please don't be insulted by this. I'm just trying to give a little bit of insight on some aspects of the male phsyche. I'm by no means an expert and I know I don't talk for all men, but I do know quite a few who are in the same situation. So when asked why some men try to cover some of their flaws a little I think it comes down to fear of rejection. We want people to get to know the real us and accept us for what we are.
Now that I've given you the dissertation on male physche(probably way off base for a lot of men by the way!!LOL) just let me say, some people that meet me say that I'm too good to be true. I'm not perfect(far from it) but I was raised with certain values and view women as equals(probably superiors if the truth be known!!LOL).
In closing just let me say I'm short, balding, and overweight, but I love the person I am, and if the world can't accept me as is-too bad for the world!!LOL

Way to go, you! Nice to hear folks that like who they are...:)

I totally agree with swoopsdad!I have a guy that has been emailing me. Wants to know if I want a vip tour of universal studios in Florida Labor Day weekend. NOT!! If your that good, come and get me and prove yourself. I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid! Looks are skin deep. the soul is what is beautiful!

:)
yes

If you love a person for a reason and that reason is no more then love is no more also.


If someone does not like you for some reason like baldness or height. Be thankful that shallow person did not waste your time. It saved you from making a dreadful mistake.

Oh, yes, Too true. Not about all that, I keep saying. But, does anyone listen? nooooo, LOL!

Yup, when it's gone it's gone...
