gozoman2: Hi darling.....

I will skip the relationship bit since I truly at this moment in time am not looking for a relationship....

Having said that however, I find that I am highly enjoying the 'on-line' ones that have evolved.....

I was here before and then deleted my membership for a few months....have only just come back on lately......

and to my amazement discovered it's really nice to stay in touch....I am not lonely, nor alone and in real life have a healthy social environ to enjoy...

but being here is in fact like being in a pub with a load of friends and acquaintances......

I enjoy the banter, the talk, the sexual innuendos, the laughter, with people my own age, but with different and certainly more entertaining and stimulating then the ones I can possibly meet here by going to the local pub or something like that.

And you can do it comfortably on the sofa in front of the fire too....

Those are my thoughts.....


That's what I do most of the time here, Gozo. And it's why I love it here so much, and will stay regardless of what happens. thumbs up

hawk69: I undertsand what is being said about dishonesty, but I don't understand it. Why lie? The truth always comes out in the end (no pun intended). Why post pics that aren't you? Don't you think anyone will catch on? Are people that insecure? I am me and I just post as me. I don't do anything to impress anyone or mislead them because it will truly never work with anyone if your basing meeting someone with lies. Maybe I am naive, maybe you don't like me for me, but thats life. You don't like everyone you meet, and if we were all the same what be be the point? WE are all different and that is what attracts people to each other, being different in some ways and similar in others. But lying seems to me to be counter productive and a waste of time. For all anyone knows I am 75 yrs old, 856 lbs, living in a dumpster using a stolen laptop connecting to the internet via a wifi hotspot, and if I was, what would be the point? Integrety and honesty seem to have dissappeared from society and it is a shame.


Yes, it's a shame that there seems to be much less of it, but I can't agree that it's disappeared.

Like you, I'm me on here. Very much me. I was talking about that with a friend last night, and he agreed with the part about actually being more "me" online because of the topics discussed, and the way they make you think. He's not on here, but on another site, and feels the same way. And is having the same troubles I am with finding a true connection. But, we keep trying.

For me, if it happens here, it does. If it doesn't, it doesn't. It will happen where and when it's meant to...and in the meantime, I'll keep having fun here in forums. heart wings

I do agree with you hawk69. It sucks that there's so much lying. It makes you wonder each and every time, if the one you're talking to is really the one he/she says he/she is. It has made me distrustful. I'm more careful, but still so naive to detect the good liars. I do understand some of them at least. E.g. if you're overweight and you state that in your profile, that's a big turnoff for a lot of people. You don't even get a first chance, let stand a second one. So, what I do is leave some info out, which I think would turn off people, until they get to know me better in the hope they'll give me a second chance. This is lying, too, but at least I give myself a first chance to meet new people. blushing Of course, off the internet it's not possible, and consequence is I have very few friends sad flower

Imasquirly1: to find a person who truly wants to be in an honest relationship these days?

I mean really...all of us on here are here because we are looking for someone...or because we don't want to be alone..

what are your thoughts?



Hi Ima,

How are you, a very happy and healthy new year to you.

I think the reality is more like this.....that a small percentage are here looking for what you are and that is such a nice thing.....but they majority here are just here because they view life as a joke and do not treat people accordingly...


Enough said from me.....I think you can read between my lines....hug

Imasquirly1: it just seems that people will tell you what they think you want to hear just so they can get what they want from you...whatever it may be...and then just walk away like nothing is wrong...I don't get it...

"Well,I disagree,the majority of people here,in my opinion,
have friends on here that want to keep friends and,
hopefully make new friends as well.I've been on here
for just over 2 years and,I've met some very wonderful
and caring people on this site.Furthermore,I have 2 amazing
friends,yes,guy friends who have been there for me,as I am
there for them also.It just goes to show that not all
people on here are just out looking for love."
