mail order brides
a bit of a strange blog this one ,as i am not going to give to much away ,,except that i will leave it up to you the peeps on the blogs to make up your own minds ,,by watching a documentary on you tube called love me mail order brides ,,it is an american creation about american men and the lengths they will go to looking for that special woman ,and i mean extreme lengths at that,and at a cost you could not imagine ,,or maybe you could who knows ,,,i have my own opinions but will not say just yet ,,as it would probably deter you all from viewing it ,,but if you do then i know that the replies will be very interesting indeed ,,
so over to you folks and enjoy the show as it is about an hour long ,,,

Small country HUGE ego
I truly don't know if I'm summing some of my past experiences up in the proper manner. I find many (not all) persons (females) that originate from small countries have a huge ego (I wont say problem)
Not all but I have even found a few from New Zealand, Lithuania and a few other smallish countries, quite arrogant and easily upset if you, the outsider, accidentally misinterpret googles facts. I actually find it quite funny at times.
My conclusion is that just possibly I don't have the same patriotic feeling for my own country as they have for theirs. Thus automatically making you enemy #1.
I try to let them understand that its unimportant for me to know just how good and faithful and beautiful etc etc most ladies are that hail from their country. Big mistake....This attitude triggers a response from them that clearly states: "Don't try and worm your way out of this one, you are guilty of treason, so be glad you don't get shot"
At this stage I say Goodbye.
Sad thing about this is that some of them are fantastic all the way until I err.
Sometimes a man just cannot win. Period.

womens equality....
we all know that in todays modern world ,that women should be treated as equals ,especially in the work environment where they are doing the same work as men,
that said ,,so this is my question , should a woman share the cost of a date ,and by date i do not mean the first date ,
obviously if you both hit it off and wish to meet up again then surely it is only right that you share the costs ,,,
why do i ask this ,well it seems that quite a few women believe this is not the way it should be ,,,
so i am interested to know what you people out there think about this ,,,,,
i have my own thoughts and situations where by i have encountered both sides of this issue ,which i shall add further info on in the comments ,,
so over to you peeps ,,,,,

Supercalifragialisticexpialidocious---
---Not sure if I can spell it. But supposedly it means extraordinary. A new hottie friend is from hippy town Yang shao, and while her English is great, the rest of her immigrant family here speak mostly Mandarin.
So, shamelessly to ingratiate myself, I'm looking here for help translating this word. And not merely into something like "awesome", or "great". But an extra long word for the same. Same as in the film, and as in describing Kepler's astronomy.
Alas, FFF will jump at the chance, being my devoted main man crusher on CS, but I hope he can resist this mild trance induction, and his need to brag/impress. Fake is fake is fake. No? And sadly, some of my racist friends have asked why I couldn't try to get a real (?White?) GF. Some will know what I mean. Regrettable. But I digress.
I know a similar longest real word in German. But wouldn't mind hearing of one in French, Spanish and Portuguese as well. CC likely will know a word in all five tongues.
Thanks, All.
Can't make any of this stuff up. Not hardly. Why try?

The bait...
Most dating sites I've been a member of have rules for photos.
No nudity (including guys bare torsos showing off muscles) one person in the photo, face shot where the person must be clearly recognizable, no children, no display of weapons, etc.
That doesn't stop people from doing what they want and not what's listed in the requirements.
A feature that was on POF allowed members a chance to view random photos uploaded by other members. It was amazing to see what people tried to get away with on their profiles. I believe if you flagged a photo it went on a list for the staff to review.
Tattoos for example. I suppose if you were an inkaholic posting only photos of your tattoos and none of your face is your calling card in life.
Your face obscured by smoke billowing out of your nostrils while you're holding a reefer is a clear sign what you are and your bait for what you are interested in.
Another form of bait is a photo of an older woman with her young, attractive daughter in the foreground. I'm sure she gets lots of hits that way as guys will check out the daughter and then bypass the profile of an older woman... that is unless guys are thinking that by getting to meet mom, there's a chance they can actually get to meet her daughter!
Using the wrong type of bait could catch you the wrong kind of fish.

OK, all you tough ladies and men.....
.....Now's the time to fess up. Most of us can recall our first (or for some here, thousanth), episode of unrequited love. What went on in our heads and in our hearts? Was it a growth experience?
What better time than Saint V's day for the job. So I'll go first. What valour, if I must say so meself, which I always manage to do.
I've already mentioned that snooty little R. in HS, who always beat me at maths. Well, on reflection, it was more a case of puppy love, even at ages 15. I got to sit next to her hottie Yiddish bottom on the bus trip to and from NYC for our annual theater visit. Few will believe it, but these were days well before my ability to charm to the core with gut ripping humour, and such. So how much fun could it have been? 8 hours in total. And the teacher chaperone, who was on to me, sitting right nearby. Reminded one of Father Ben Dover, who loved to walk about at our CYO dances, tapping shoulders, if these were too close.
But several years later, in the dormitory, where just that year (1969), the admin began to allow ladies in for a few "visiting" hours weekly conjugal visits. Test balloon if there ever was one.
Two hottie tarts from the neighboring 22 story ladies dorm were on our floor, no doubt sniffing about. And right in front of my door, one of our mates had a brief grand mal seizure. Here was the floor clown, writhing on the floor, his silly boy role no doubt a reaction to his epilepsy, about which none of us knew anything. We see the same dynamic here, in this case masquerading as bragadocio, for fake life failure. But I digress.
Well, the gathering crowd were all standing around laughing. Toby was just being Toby, to impress the females. But one lady and I knelt down next to him to try to comfort and protect, neither really knowing what to do for Toby-man.
Now I had been hot on this girl for some time. A Daughters of the American Revolution high cheekboned, lovely debutante, of English extraction. And a much older first year graduate student in art. Word got around that she thought the world of me, for being the only one as compassionate as she believed herself to be. The little John Bircher.
Of course, this being the total initial opposite of unrequited admiration, I was smitten. Involved for the year, and many letters back and forth (no email), after I left for foreign study. I actually flew back over the mid semester, claiming family ties, but mostly for her.
Well, our first date was to the Campus Center weekly half dollar movie. 2001. a Space Odyssey. Both drenched in MJ. A year later, when she dumped me for another, I was devastated, but finally recovered. This last item calls for much comment, but I'll just here note how it all started, as the elements were all there. Mom image older sort, vastly different in terms of home culture, who paid attention to me (not one of real mommy's strengths, due to a jealous dad), and saying she would keep her powder dry in my absence. Lots more, but at the time, I thought it not possible to experience more day in/day out pain---for a few months. Felt it even in my bosom. WTF?
Who hasn't been THERE, Saint V??

What IS love?
Such a drug is love. It makes me imagine crazy things. Like my beloved laying across a chaise lounge chair as I fan him with a palm leaf, while feeding him grapes.
‘Tis an intoxication I wish never to sober from. Life, be NOT cruel and permit me to stay this way. In these clouds in the kingdom of god. For to love another person IS to SEE the very face of our creator. Love is the driving force that brings all things into being.
Of course the sensations and experiences from the intoxicants can be blamed on the Hypothalamus, which for a nerd is just as arousing and romantic a thought (for the Sapiosexual). To imagine this beautiful little pump inside the brain squeezing out teeny weeny peptide ticklers, to fill our tummies with butterflies, our hearts with the sensation of fluttering, ungrounding us in a dizzying whirl of exquisite delight.
I am so drunk on this man, I yield openly with no resistance, for I want to stay the distance in this bliss and drown in the blinding light and ecstasy he hath smitten me with.
Aye.
Upload me. Integrate me. Let me dissolve INTO you. Be ONE with your being. Experience the sacred beauty that is the enigma of you. My heart has been whisked away in your luminous splendor. Deeper, ever down the rabbit hole of love . . .take me; and be this a dream, dare not wake me.
There is m o r e, sooo very much more; and expansive infinity of wonder and joy. I cannot fathom how even to bring these things into the words of our human language. To translate these experiences . . .these feelings. All I can do is just BE . . .in the moment.
*le sigh*
