RE: Fun with the MIDI (long forgotten?) Music Format !!

Great article not sure about the midi for the family bit.But you never know.THe MiDi protocol was never that flash at the start when it came out
being a parallel communication port if Im not wrong.
It should have been better but the two big players Yamaha and Roland could not agree to use the same method due to commercial interests

Typical of most the computer industry.

RE: "Just friends" between a man and a women: myth or reality?

It is so true that a man can be just a friend. I had moved to a small place of 16000 population and knew no one. I seen this man on another site from this same town, so i contacted him and asked if we could just be friends as i was new there. That was 3 yr's ago and he is my best friend today. We have a lot of long talk's. My opinion is that men make the best friend's...they know how to keep a secret.

RE: WHERE IS INTEGRITY?

Well,
What you say about ladies ending a relationship with:"I don't want to blablabla...' goes for the men also!

In my personal life I have met quite a few guys unable to express their feelings. I mean negative or positive ones.

And what you call integrity is what I call sincerity. Sincerity towards oneself first and foremost. That ability to set back and listen to the "feelings inside of you". Saying to someone:'I don't want to go on with you', requests quite a bit of honesty and respect towards who you are.

As a rule, I try to be honest with my feelings, with how I feel and try to express it. That way, I give the chance to a partner/friend,...to decide whether or not they want to go on.

I've come to realize that only a few people are able to do that. To share that gift of being open without false pretence (hum, don't know the word in English!!).

Anyway, looking at oneself with integrity/sincerity/honesty is, in my view only a winning position, even if what you see from yourself is not always 'good'.

RE: WHY DO WOMEN TAKE BACK CHEATING LYING MEN???

Yes I agree. I always believe that people should keep writing to the 'lady' audience if they encourage ladies to be stronger. What I do to fill my time, is sports. Things like play squash, hike, jog, go out with friends etc. That fills the gap for me. And I blog. One can cope just fine single until the right guy comes along. And that was for the ladies. Have a great day wink

WHY DO WOMEN TAKE BACK CHEATING LYING MEN???

Amen girl! I agree. That is one reason I am so proud of my daughter being one of the youngest 1st degree black belts, in Karate. Karate has truly helped her develop things like sefl-confidence, leadership and pride in herself. The best part ishe does not need a man to validate her as a woman.

I also agree with your second observation. It is a term I coined, "CALLED LOVE HUNGER." The way I see it many women have this .heart beating heart tank. Think of a heart tank like a gasoline tank. All tanks after awhile, become low or empty. They have to be filled. Right?

Now the question is what will you fill your tank with? You can chose to fill it up with healthy and functional gas. i.e. taking a class of interest, developing a hobby, expanding your horizons, getting involved in a club, bowling league in order to grow and cut down the feelings of isolation.

Or the other choice is you can chose to fill your tank with unhealthy dysfunctional behaviors, like bad gas, it will always damage your insides. This inside damage leads to a vicious cycle, at first you feel good and enjoy the taste of attention, but afterwards you have feeling and even emptier pain inside you, because not only was the gas your chose bad for you it made you realize just how needy you are. Its like eating cotton candy, at first it tastes good, but after awhile, you don't feel satisfied. You like the taste at first, then hate yourself afterwards.

Thank you for you wonderful feed back and ideas. This way we all grow as we read and learn from one another. I am happy to write if you feel it helps let me know. However, i do not consider myself a good write, just a person with passion and compassion for others.

RE: WHY DO WOMEN TAKE BACK CHEATING LYING MEN???

Sheez talk about CAPS! I personally have never or will ever take a cheater back. And I probably would not date the cheating kind to begin with "if I can help it". I think the thing with women is, they just want to be loved and they don't always recognise their self worth, it's goes alot deeper than just wanting to change a man. Sometimes they sell themselves short for a dream. And in the end its their hope in the lie (I love you) that leads them to take the guy back or it can be for security. Women are softer than guys. I think women defnitey need to become stronger and see their self worth. I'd kick a jackasses backside right out the freaking door with no hesitation whatsoever!peace

RE: WHY DO WOMEN TAKE BACK CHEATING LYING MEN???

well there are a few reasons:

1. They are insecure and have no self esteem; they feel that they can't live without the guy. Always cracks me up when they cry after breaking up. Why are they sad leaving a cheater?

2. They romanticize what they had. They try to make it work out like a fairy tale when they dont' look at what it really was.

3. They dont' want to start over again; they are determined to make it work. You never hear a guy say, wow I put all that time into it so I'll stay. Women say it all the time.

4. Women are emotional; they dont' look at actions they listen to words. If a guy cheats but says I love you, the I love you's many times trump it.

5. They want to change the guy; never works.

Well, I was chatting with a russian guy, and he was so arrogant,judgemental, and introverted that I could not even converse with him. I am sure not all men are the same there, but it made me a bit biased!

I said no, no need. I know what i will do...by then, i felt nasty, what kind of women am i?...then i called him, to say sorry. i didn't go to fight...i kept my anger and in fact i felt comfort by hearing his voice over the phone and make me feel: I released all my angry....

Good Article Connecting singles.....

RE: What makes a man a Gentleman???????????

A gentleman is one who is qiuet but always hearrd. One you respects a women and thinks she comes first before he does. And as for tipping their hat, that always impressesss me, now a days if he just touches the brim of a baseball cap, to you that is a gesture of respect, Like the cowboys did and gofers do it too, as a form of acknowlagement. It's a meaningful gesture that is quite old but is impressive.

RE: How to make Long distance relationships work

Long Dis Relationships - Starts with exchange of e-mails and msgs. Some friends will ask to come out of CS on some other site to talk or chat.

Many will start asking favours like tickets to visit or money to buy the ticket. In such cases one should avoid the person next time. I follow CS's advice in this matter.

Another phenomenon is that the person starts talking and then sometimes takes the call other time dont, which is not fair.

At the start writes two mails each day and later it reduced to one or neither one in two days.

So, my experience is that Long Dist Relationship takes a very long time to flourish.

RE: The Chase

i wonder if your friend list "honesty" as one her attributes.

being not a real good looking guy, i will email them once, and maybe once again a week later, but i am not afraid of asking a question or two, esp when their profile is skinny.

but if one is looking for a partnership, as opposed to some one begging, i don't believe her way would be the right way to arrive at a partnership.

some where in the distant past, pbs, put on a 1/2 hour little documentary, and the gist of it was that the person who is the "lessor" partner generally gets resentful, and then it fails. in my observation of mine and others it does seem to work that way.

obviously i like your approach.

RE: The Chase

Well hi,
i read your article.let me tell you some thing,to come to the point after with..i am trying to find some real interested female for long term relationship in various dating website from a a period...But mostly i found the scams people from Nigeria or Africa countries...!
People are gaming others.....here involve male and female both,but i will agree with you that it's really really unfair to play with some one feelings...

I really appreciate this website of dating,that they mentioned all the possible trick of Scams to be avoid from there and make your self safe...
but here same like others have already scams,but we have to pointed them and safe this place


I have a suggestion: If with mail of the user could send the ip of his computer or his ISP,so it's would be a bit easy to know the person that how he is true on his/her words....
Thank you my friend

RE: loves 13 branches

Yes, these are beautiful things to have... and learn. Seems we aren't born knowing; we learn along the way. And people seem to be at so many different points on the way... for many reasons.

Which is why I think this is a fantastic article. You have some wonderful insights. A lot of us can learn at least one thing, if not several from your writing.

One insight that esp. stands out is this - Listen: letting her words and thoughts be given value ..in paying attention to detail. So true, so important, and means so much.

That you realize this & so eloquently put into words is just amazing to me.

This is a GREAT article. Thank you for writing it. rose teddybear

RE: How to make Long distance relationships work

It works.

To me. and we start as a friend. we met on other dating site. and since i joined this (as i suggest him as well) and i met some others man from CS, but not work well (they never send me email, chat or teks messages anymore) after we may chat for two weeks example, then he said (my friend) why not us? trying to have relationship?. i was shock. i never though of this. since we are so open about our routine and our story. He said : I began to knew you, i feel comfort about you, and i think i had enough to search girl like you did on man too. But since two month, i feel something about you and bit worried to tell you at first time. But i think better i ask you now, then i knew what you think, as you still not success your self to find a man.

so i said to him on that day chat, i will be right back, and sign off for 2 hours, he still there, then i said are you serious?. he said yes. then i said yes too.

I dont ask him to much questioned about his decision, as i knew his story and we talk openly about us, our daily routine and our problem, our sadness, our happiness. he was my good friend over net, so i feel comfort to tell him openly and honestly. and now, we are in relation, we still talk openly and honestly. just like a before. as that what we plan. He will come to Indonesia soon. we have chat over the webcam. and phone now. I hope he have no delay to come here.

By the way, he had a girlfriend from Indonesia as well on 2002, and he came to indonesia to met her. But he said it wont work with his previous girl. and he didn't believe with LDRs, even when first he met me and we become friend and chat for at least 6 month now. only after i joined CS for two month, then he feel start to believe in LDRs again.

GREAT POST. I always believe in everything if we have a positive thinking and good trustful communication.

RE: Some women can be as bad as some of the men!!!

It must have been very tough on you when you found out but it is better to let her go. The outcome later on down the road could have been very....how should we say it....painful if the husband had found out. I'm sure she went right out and found someone else to "play with" after you dumped her. More power to her but I am a firm believer in "what goes around comes around." She will no doubt pay the price one day. Good luck in finding a lady who truly likes you and doesn't play games.

RE: Some women can be as bad as some of the men!!!

I'm sorry you had to go through that!.. You did the right thing to stop seeing her. The woman should have got a divorce or at least filed for one before using a dating site!

This goes to show that all of us must be truthful in our profiles. You don't have to tell your life story but, be truthful about your motives, age, weight and height. The rest of your life can wait to tell to the right person...
