I don't like you much
Thought you should know. 
Oh aye I like you, for looking good, or making me laugh, or groan at your comebacks, or think. But you? Nope.
Only mentioning it because you need to get over yourself. Someone had to say it.

Profile pics
Firstly, how attractive do you find people with no profile pic and (b) what does the absence of a profile pic indicate?

would you ever consider getting back with your ex
It has been 12 years since we have been apart. We have seen each other from time to time...and me, I always avoided her if I could. Whenever I would see her out, she was with a different guy each time. Honestly, it never bothered me. I was glad to see her out and hopefully happy. However, from what I knew of her...she really took a path of destruction in her life. There was nothing good I have ever heard from others about her. Again, I didn't care...we were not together but these people knew we were together and could never hold back from telling me...she did this...she got involved here and there....all of it was never good.
When she first cheated on me, which ultimately lead to me breaking up with her....initially...I told myself that she would genuinely apologize, that I would consider trying to make things work. At least at that time, I would believe she honestly felt bad about her actions and just maybe, she would consider me in the relationship if we stay together. After we initially separated, days went by and then weeks....yet, no apology. Then that is when I figured, this is indeed the end and prepared my life for a new path.
Last night rolls around, twelve years later. My buddy and I decide to go out to the casino, get a bite to eat and play a quick $20 in the machines. I sit on one machine and my buddy says, I will be over here. I check what direction he walks in so I can find him later and I play my machine. After playing, I get up and go looking for him. When I walk around a cluster of machines, there he is...sitting next to my ex and chatting with her. Initially my reaction is just to turn around...never seen...and just walk away, but I am getting tired and want to round up my buddy. So there is where it all starts. My ex and I end up sitting for an hour chatting. She is drunk and emotionally all over the place....going on about how she is single and hinting at getting a room there. I just change the subject and listen.
At this time, I am dropping subtle hints about it is getting late and I am tired and I need to go. As we are departing, she says...I am sorry for everything. An apology after 12 years. I did give her a hug and then left.
I think that is the first time I heard that word from her mouth...ever.
Now of course she was drunk. But it is said that when people are drunk, their filters come down. Meaning..that they feel freer to express what is really going on in their heads.
Has she seen enough of the single life to realize that grass was not greener?
Was she just feeling lonely at that moment and just wanted company?
Or, was she genuinely sorry and wanted to make amends?
Or, should it be just another "thing"...and once trust is lost...it is lost for ever?
What do you think?

"A Dating site that Truly works !"
That's what the advertisement for another dating site advertised at the bottom of this site stated. 
So, that one "truly works" ???
Maybe it went out and got a part time job ?

Snow day
I LOVE snow. Perfect world, deep and crisp and even, and under a blue sky. We don’t get many days like that in Scotland but they are worth the wait. I went to bed hoping, because the forecast was snow over most of the country.
No snow this far south. Boo. Still, plans for the day were to go out for a hack and the weather was cold but beautiful. I dressed warmly, several layers, to meet host for the day. We drove quite a long way, with me squeaking excitedly as the white stuff started appearing, and wishing he would stop the jeep and let me out to romp.
(photograph removed)
Turned out, destination wasn’t horses. It was a national park. Covered in snow, not very deep, but crisp and even and under a blue sky.
Second childhood kicked in with a vengeance. I haven’t laughed so much in years, literally falling over at one point because I couldn’t stand up any more. My fiendish frenemy made absolutely no concessions to my snow-free upbringing and fired snowball after snowball until I finally got the knack of making and throwing the damn things properly and started getting my own back.
Peace treaty was signed over a thermos of hot soup and defrosting completed at a pub with roaring fires, hot chocolate and cream cakes.
I won’t be able to move tomorrow, but it was the best day. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Thoughts about Marriage
Marriage, in most cases, is a cultural and social situation two or more people adopt to support a family structure or gain social acceptance.
There are cultures that predetermine whom you will marry from a very young age and cultures that make no such plans.
There are cultures that require you to be monogamous and others that rely on polygamy. There are a wide range of sub-cultural deviations as well.
As animals (yes we are animals, Omnivores to be more accurate) our defining goal in life is to reproduce to create a genetic offspring.
Before social structures, we reproduced with any fertile human being of the opposite gender. Our need to propagate our genetic line mandated that we assure our offspring's safety and well-being until they reached reproductive maturity. As society gained strength the sure fire way to do this was to marry or exclusively remain with your reproductive mate. Society recognized the effectiveness of this trend and it gained popularity.
Many marriages are not done because of love.
Love is one reason for marriage when your reproductive drive has been fulfilled. It is a way to have intimacy with the partner of your choice. As our longevity extends past our reproductive prime we marry for reasons other than rearing our offspring.
At some point in the future; when our lifespans are greatly extended; reproductive abilities no longer require mating and offspring are nurtured by society there may be a trend of no marriage or marriage by time contract. If we live to 300 years, Marriage will have little motivation other than love.
Our lifespans worldwide are currently 83.7 years at max for both sexes.
This is well past our s*xual prime and child-bearing ability.
Thus, Marriage is starting to lose its significance already.
Most willing marriages are a contract between two or more people. Most are monogamous and based on religious belief systems and cultural stipulations or society standards. This is why "official" marriages are performed by a religious or state entity. The contract is written and sanctioned as a proof of commitment and dedication by all parties involved. To end such a marriage requires that "official" contract to be voided.
The commitment and dedication to the other(s) is the personal aspect of marriage. It is based on mutual agreement to honestly hold your word and intent.
Over time, changes in our priorities can change how we feel about the one we dedicated/pledged ourselves to. We are faced with either embracing those changes or removing those changes from our lives.
The marriage that thrives is composed of personalities that accept those changes and tolerates them. It happens all the time.
The marriage that continues past that acceptance level on anyone's part is usually filled with misery and despair. Those marriages do not thrive and are often ended in some hostile way.
Before entering into a marriage, all parties involved must know their own intention and understand the level of their commitment to the other(s) and believe their partner(s) pledge to that same commitment.
The contract of marriage, as currently socially accepted where I live, is for the duration of life. It is assumed that it is based on love.
When it is not based on love the contract needs an agreed upon expiration.
