RE: Supporting a Friend Who Is Grieving

Coming from the grieving side of this article, I want to apologies for the outbursts of anger! I'm always a very calm and relaxed person, but recently the ballast in the kitchen light went bad, and I was having a hard time deciding what kind of light to replace it with because the interior design of our home was always my late wife's domain (she had been gone 4 months at this point). When I was talking to my friend about how I was having a hard time deciding what kind of light to replace the bad one in the kitchen with, she suggested I try to make the house more to my own. Before I even realized what I was saying out shot "I don't want the house, I want my f*%*ing wife back!". I felt so horrible! Lucky she was understanding but damn, that was SO out of character for me!

RE: Forget Bad Boys: Women Like their Dating Partners to be Gentlemen

As a gentleman by nature I've found that acting in this way does very little to impress ladies of less than.. say 30, and often older than that.
When I was younger the ONLY possible chance I had at getting a date was to ACT like a bad boy. If you polite and caring, you're not worth their time.
I met my wife 12 years ago, and I opened doors for her (and treated her as my most trusted partner in life) until the day she died. I tried going on a date not along ago, and she insisted on paying for her half of the meal and was offended that I opened doors. We're still good friends (I wasn't ready to date yet, but tired of being alone ALL the time), so it wasn't that she wasn't interested. When did having respect for women turn into showing disrespect? Just because someone opens a door doesn't mean they think you're incapable of doing it yourself.

RE: Possible Reasons Your Relationship Failed

I know there are some very good points with why some relationships fail, I donot have a great track record myself. I grew up as a fat kid, life was hard at school and home. I grew up not letting girls know I like them as if I did they themselves would be teased so keep my feeling to myself. This way of life I took into young adult hood so when I like a lady I didn't let them know as then I didn't want to lose a friend, me thinking they would run a mile from me. Over the years there have been some truly gorgeous ladies I fell for, not just talking about there bodies here, they were so beautiful in their hearts. I just didn't let them know I liked them as I still carried the fat kid way of life with me. I am grateful for having such beautiful friends at the time.
I have tho jumped in with all four feet so to speak and been married twice in life and have two divorces to go with them. I have some awesome kids a dad could ever hope for tho now still live life on my own.
I feel with a lot of relationships when two people get together it is all great at the time, we think we may know each other well and in some cases this might be true. I think any relationship that is love only will not last, it need real and true friendship.
I look now at it as the earth is the friendship, love is the roots of the tree, if there is a soild base of friendship for love to grow then the relationship has the best chance of living. when there is strong winds and storms, as in arguments and mis understandings if the love is held strong then the relationship will survive. If the relationship is love only then when the same storm hits it blows at the tree, any friendship, ( earth), maybe moved and even if the relationship lives it is weaken so when the next storm comes or the one after there will come a time when love is lost and if there is no real friendship to hold it together to re new love then the mighty tree falls and dies, as does the love and the relationship.
If people want to help keep love strong also keep their friendship strong, I do hope to share love and life with someone again one day, and have a friendship that is just as important a long with all that goes well in a relationship. I maybe way off base with my thoughts, being single for so long now I forget what it is like to have a friend let a lone a relationship... I am not sad or lonely tho... just living life with what I have...

RE: 7 Signs You're Being Catfished

"As far as I'm concerned, when I'm asked for my email address after a couple of messages, let alone the first one - has happened - then I will assume I'm dealing with a scammer and report them."

I agree. I remember one occasion on here where a lady asked for my email first up and I replied that it was a bit early to go offsite just yet. Next time I looked she was gone; obviously someone had reported her and she'd been kicked out.

RE: The inadequate quest of the hurting woman.

Omg. doh This article is absolutely insane. This spiritualizing everything is mumbo jumbo nonsense. It’s no different than mythology or even witchcraft. It’s disturbing how religious nuts minimize women with this superstitious crap. Get a clue - women are not broken little girls in desperate need of men to validate them. This author and those who think like this are actually personalizing their own demons. They fail to win a woman’s heart, and their bruised ego won’t let them accept the fact that they need to step up their game in the romance department. Rather than getting a clue and improving their romantic social skills, they blame the woman for not “obeying God”. These narrow minded knuckle-draggers are in need of therapy. I wish they’d realize how damaging this delusional line of thinking is for both men and women. scold

RE: Breaking Out of a Power Struggle With a Loved One

This is a fantastic article, lots of good advice. Unfortunately, "Acknowledging our hurt, and speaking honestly, can diffuse tensions - and pave the way to more constructive and loving communication", does not necessarily ring true with an extremely insecure partner. Sometimes being honest with people who struggle with anger, jealousy and insecurity causes them to become even more defensive and antagonistic. There is no honesty or rationale with manipulative people. It's one thing to be humble and honest talking about your hurts to a discerning individual who is capable of love and empathy. It's a whole 'nother thing to allow yourself to be emotionally abused over and over by a neurotic, insecure partner whose response is always, "I'm sorry you feel that way, but that's only your perspective." In a volatile case like that, where there is no hope of clear communication, you're most likely dealing with a narcissist. The only option is to take your losses and get far away from that control freak.

RE: 10 Reasons to Avoid Dating a Married Man

I disagree with the author of this blog. The reasons are below.

Firstly, polygyny has economic, social and health advantages over monogamy. Encyclopedia Britannica (1998) states, "Polygyny has several economic, social, and health advantages over monogamy. In most cultures, women contribute significantly to the wealth of the household and can thus materially benefit from the labour of an additional spouse. Where mortality rates of men consistently exceed those of women, polygyny can be seen as a resolution to the “deficit” of males and the “surplus” of females."

Hence polygyny should be an alternative to these social issues.

RE: The inadequate quest of the hurting woman.

There is no God . God is an invention of humans which is just another tool often used to control subjugate others both men and women ....get therapy psychological help if you have issues because religion is all about subjugation of women especially and I mean Christian Muslim Judaism Hinduism all treat women as inferior to men which we are not . Knowledge education is where the answers lie, not airy fairy nonsense about a god that does not exist .

each situation can be different, a demanding job that does not allow for phone conversations etc, but overall under the most general circumstances, the advice is to not support lazy communication. the world has changed with technology and became lazy to communicate the natural way.

RE: 4 Rules For Online Dating

In regards to # 2. Talking on the phone is required.

Well, I was the (non successful) target of a scam some years ago. The girl - who I had many conversations with on the site - actually called me. We talked on 2 or 3 occasions and it all seemed honest / real - but of course when the conversation turned towards her sick mother needing money, I sensed fish in the smell. I googled her email adress and found there had been a LOT of people falling for the scam - and who had actually SENT money. And - felt like suckers afterwards of course. I'm just writing this to say that IF a person talks to you on the phone - it can STILL be a scam.

RE: 4 Rules For Online Dating

First of all if you give somebody your email you have allowed them to access a lot of personal info about you. If they are a scammer they can access your financial resources, medical info, where you exactly live or work, and further go into your family info.Think about it for a while, how much info do you want out on the net about you? Also, if you have a cell phone be very careful giving out a cell number is even worse, get yourself a "burn" phone, it is much harder to track personal info and no I am not a scammer. I work for a Federal Law firm and be careful out there.

RE: Why are scammers the most polite and complimentary?

Last and first scammer I have met here was from US (was telling this) and said is working now in Africa!
Of course many compliments every day, after 3 days he already loved me.
One day he pretended he got an email from his bank that his account are blocked because he was divorcing.
And he acted like he is in shock, panic and asked me to send him cash "only 2000 Euro".
He promised he will give back as soon as possible as he has to pay salary to his workers.
Of course "he was a businessman having own bussines" and also this account was blocked.
After I said "NO. SORRY" He became very angry, agressive, and started to offend me".
I have never seen him in real (on video etc) only photos ...

RE: Why are scammers the most polite and complimentary?

Scammers get into your head,showering you with flattery and compliments to gain your trust.Once they see that you have succumb to their " flattery and "fake" attention, and gained your trust by telling you " so much about themselves" All lies of course. Then comes the first part of the scam. They tell you things like their baby sister needs surgery but the family cant afford it.Or they have a "friend" who is in trouble and asked them for financial help but as" they "dont make much money , they are unable to help their "desperate friend".
Hoping to appeal to you as their compassionate good friend to stump up and send money to a PO Box in Tunisia, Ghana , Ivory Coast etc etc.
Another one is that the would love to visit you. They will claim to have been to your country before , but of course they are strapped for cash.
Another scam is pretending to be in the Military or they are Bank Manager.(why would a bank manager be offering you a job via a date site ?.Go figure it out.
They lying , scamming slugs out to decieve you and con you out of money.So no matter how much they flatter you, write you gushy poems and declare their " fake love" for you. Take it like you would dog sh*t on your shoe.Cause these con artists are lower than a snails A*s..Word of advice. Dont get involved. Preventions better than cure.
