blocking people out of our lives
Would it not be great and wonderful if we can block people out of our lives,
out of our memories our hearts and minds with a flip of a switch or push
of a button? For many when considering the time and investment in
building relationships at any level most in my opinion are shortlived
or never got off the ground. Others, before the internet was invented
and social sites etc which is designed to bring people together who
would not ordinarily meet in any other circumstance but online. They
were only images in a magazine and most people had to hook up
locally and left with whatever was available.
The good ol days when you had to actually meet in person or call on a rotary phone. Thanks
to the internet and reaching people from everywhere on earth we
have successfully alienated each other by a flip of a switch.
Instead of clearing the air of misunderstandings we just get pissed
off and block people out of our lives thus reducing our chances
of reconciliation.
Secondly, we are offered the opportunity to set up
a criteria of quality we hope to find in people. Instead of the old days
just by talking to someone for a few hours at a bar we learn that the person
of interest is an a**hole and maybe in a few minutes we learn that
while we are organizing an escape plan to the restroom and out the door.
Today we can do it in a few emails or a few chat sessions and eliminate
people in seconds if need be with a switch. The nice thing we dont have
to hear is the girl complaining about what a useless wanker the guy was
and the girl doesnt have to hear the wanker complain what a b*tch she is. Ah, but yet when
we are done stewing over what was said between two people we look at the profiles
and read what they say of themselves finding their profile is BS and their personality
does not match what they say of themselves. Like an employer who reads resumes
all day they see many but only the few or one gets the job. Only a few or the one gets the girl
With the high emotional cost in finding a friend these days its rather sad to see
that we take people with a grain of salt and believe less of what they say and ultimately
sabotage ourselves to fail. Actions speak louder. Yet considering the investment we place here
we cannot expect a whole lot on the ROI.
Setting our expectations low enough is the best policy. Nobody will give a crap about this blog
as they will say to me if I dont like the results I am getting then play somewhere else and stop
judging how things are run here or go with the flow. I know nobody is keeping me here, there is no ball and chain holding me here. Most would rather see me just disappear and stop annoying them with my ideas. Many may ask a certain lady in Spain why she sometimes stands up for me or makes subtle excuses to say I mean well but I can be a bit annoying. Well everyone can block me but can they block the truth or the foolishness? This is not even a dating site anymore its more of a internet diner like Arnolds of Happy Days. Only many dont have the charisma and coolness of the Fonz. Most are the Ralphie's and the Potzie's and a few Ritchie Cunninghams who dont have the confidence to tell a girl what they feel. If they do the women here think the guy is a flake.
Please correct me and show me differently what I am doing wrong in my approach. God I feel right now like such a heel for some reason writing this. However, bring on the onslaught for any comments will be taken in consideration.

Where to go to meet a prospective lover/soul mate ?
So guy any suggestions?
A friend once told me that whenever he tried to go hunting so to speak, he would always meet the wrong candidate or none at all.
But when he did not hunt then it was the opposite situation.
So what to do ?

On The 8th Day
I've been on CS for 8 days today. For the past 7 days I have been reading a lot of content from other CS members. I had many blog ideas for my first blog to say hello. I'm not sure I even want to share any of my insight with CS members?
From what I have read in the forums and blogs makes me believe there are a few people here that saturate them with negativity. People that disregard courtesy and tact to punish everyone with pitiful hostility. It seems no matter what anyone writes it warrants retaliation from a select few.
This is a site designed to allow you to put your best image out there so someone that might be looking for you might find you. Anything you write or post on this site is a way for them to understand you better.
What I see is a lot of people that can't take life seriously and stay focused on the task at hand.
You are on a dating site. You are hostile, angry with the opposite gender and narcissistic. What is to be gained by spreading hatred? If you sow the seed of hatred you will only reap hatred.
I have read many blogs at many places. What I see here are not blogs, they are quips of insanity posted by shallow, insecure people full of delusions. If I decide to post blogs here in the future, I will turn off comments because if you want to talk to me about my blog you can contact me from my profile.
My blogs will deal with me and be about my views on life as I see it. They are a tool to allow someone that is interested in finding out how I think and feel to understand me.
I post from my home computer so writing is not an issue, neither is reading and viewing large listings at once. I have a phone but I don't use it to post. I am typing on a full keyboard. For most, what I type will be too much scrolling.
So be it.
I hope you all find someone special in your life and no longer need to use online dating sites to express yourself. If I find someone, I will leave and never come back. BUT...isn't that how it is supposed to work?

Curtain Rods
A dear friend sent it to me and just wanted to share.
Very clever.
CURTAIN RODS --- PRICELESS
On the first day, she sadly packed her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; she put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.
When she'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain rods.
She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.
On the fourth day, the husband came back with his new girlfriend, and at first all was bliss.
Then, slowly, the house began to smell.
They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place.
Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned.
Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought into set off gas canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked!
People stopped coming over to visit..
Repairmen refused to work in the house.
The maid quit.
Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.
Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls.
Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.
Then the ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house.
She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for having the house.
Knowing she could have no idea how bad the smell really was, he agreed on a price that was only 1/10th of what the house had been worth... but only if she would sign the papers that very day.
She agreed, and within two hours his lawyers delivered the completed paperwork.
A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home ..... and to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!

Video chatting with someone from a dating site
Would you block someone you met on a dating site for wearing a bathrobe for a video chat?
I exchanged contact details with someone on here and we arrange to do a video chat last night.
I called her and after only a couple of minutes of chatting, she asked me to change my clothes. I don't see what was wrong with me wearing a bathrobe for a video chat. I always have a shower in the early evening after work and was just wearing what I normally would be wearing at the time we started chatting.
She asked me to change my clothes so I did then called her back but she didn't want to answer. I said I had changed my clothes but she said she didn't want to chat with me.
I don't know why she felt so uncomfortable about what I was wearing.
I don't know if she thought I was going to expose myself on our video chat or what or whether maybe her upbringing meant that is was highly inappropriate for someone to do a video chat with her and to always dress appropriately for the occasion.
I tried to explain but she was having none of it and just blocked me from messaging apps and on this dating site.
I just find the whole situation and her ridiculous and crazy.
Why couldn't she have just asked me to change my clothes and then call her back as if nothing had happened?
Or why couldn't she have just ignored what I was wearing?
It says she lives in London but I could tell from her accent, she was possibly Russian, Ukrainian, Moldovan or some other Eastern European country originally.
If anyone has their thoughts on this, I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.

First date = last date...
A guy tries for weeks to get a date with a woman who is a social media influencer. She claims she was bored and agreed to go out. Her choice was a place called Fontaine’s Oyster House where they claim to have the freshest oysters in the city.
The Tuesday's special was a dozen oysters for $15.
When she was on the 4th dozen of oysters with Tabasco sauce, looking for some cocktails, crab cakes and potatoes. He excuses himself to the restroom, only not to return.
The woman video tapes the event to post to TikTok and it gets more than 5 million views.
The waiter recognized the woman and stated "She's here every Tuesday"

People who have been single for too long...
There's a member running around with a faceless photo with only a message. Although its against CS rules for posting a primary image that isn't a face, a high percentage of members here do this. My opinion is you're not seriously looking as guys usually connect with women who have real photos on their profiles.
Back to the blog... The message reads:
People who have been single for too long are the hardest to love, because they have become so used to being single, independent, and self-sufficient that it takes something extraordinary to convince them that they need you in their life.
I typed the first line into a search engine and it brought up dozens of examples along with links to psychology sites as everyone has an opinion and diagnosis to the situation of people who are unwilling to change their single status.
A common thread on dating sites. Take a look at some of the topics in the forums section to see what I'm talking about.
I followed a link to one site that was filled with toxic relationship memes and poems. Scary thought someone took the time to collect all those sayings... just sayin'

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?
Perhaps someone on the site has caught your eye?
Maybe you're wondering what you can drop into his/her inbox to break the ice?
And so you've put off dropping anything in that inbox?
Welll...
Maybe today's the day to send this...
I just heard it on Old Time Radio Drama, the idea hit me & I'm passing it along.
If anyone gives it a try - good luck. And let us know how it works...
