Political beliefs on dating profiles
I mentioned in one of my threads...about political beliefs not being on dating profiles and how important it is to know....which side of the fence...people stand on....well I noticed POF now has political beliefs as part of the dating profile...but will people be honest or pretend to be something...they are not...
I mean will a far left wing marxist...admit to being the worst of the worst on the political ladder? I think it's unlikely and I admit...I would run a mile...regardless of how good looking a woman looked{not that many marxists are worth a single look)...if I knew she hated men...the white race...productivity...traditional family values...a babies right to be born...free speech...free will...the right to own property etc...nothing would be a bigger turn off
I do think it is important to know someone's political beliefs...cause lets face it....Who wants to date someone...who is totally incompatible and totally in opposite to their own beliefs...Maybe some might think it does not matter...but I tell you now...it will matter and your life could be made a complete misery...just for being you

He Called Me a Gold Digger!
Good day CS.
This week, I went on a dinner date with a guy. He invited me to his place so we could better talk because its more private and all, I didn't agree. I told him its better that we take time to get to know each other first and for us to take time to have trust before anything more intimate. And also that I wanted to take things slow. He agreed after trying to convince me otherwise the whole time we were at the restaurant.
The next day, he messaged and me to set up a second date. I agreed to meet him after 3 days. I thought, ok this seems promising. The day before the said date, i asked him what the plan was. He then told me, we will stay at his place, watch a movie, and eat something special he'll cook. I reminded him that he agreed to take things slow and that Im still not comfortable going to his place. I suggested it would be better if we go somewhere or do activities like movies or atv riding at red sand. He didn't want those, given the strict laws of saudi about male and female segregation. ( Its always a good card to play for men here, especially when they want to take the girl to his house and make it look like that's the only choice. I understand that some mean it because its truth. But I just can't reconcile it with my consciousness, since Ive been on dates before and nothing happened.) So anyway, we had a discussion where I was trying to reason out with him where I said "oh, I forgot you didn't have a car. It would be difficult to go places together on uber." ( in my mind, usually uber drivers are saudis and they could report us to police and we'd both be in jail.) But after I made that remark, he became distant suddenly.
He didn't message me the whole day next day. And yesterday he messaged me" Hello gold digger" I was so mad I couldn't just brush it off. We went on an argument where I called him a lying AH because he made me believe he was looking for something serious, but when sex was not on the table he disappeared, and he called me a gold digger and Cold because I pointed out out he didn't have a car.
Needless to say I was disappointed because I thought that we had potential.. But what good is potential when its with promised on deceit?
Such a waste of time. At least I had a great burger.

What separates couples?
Sure, money, inlaws, illness, substances, military service, flings, politics, and much more. In our case it was differences in parenting. I was wrong. VERY wrong.
Today, a nice younger couple from New Hampsire bought my latest boat, in a fair deal to both parties. I spent the day with them teaching how to be good owners, so it will be fun and last a long time.
I think boat ownership should be added to the sad list of things coming between couples.These two were a nice match, and loved each other by all appearances. And they were good learners (of course they had a tree top teacher), and already had many technical sailing skills. And it was gratifying to see how they cooperated with each other, and with me. No kids yet, and both were educated and with good jobs.
A perfect picture. Until things started to go wrong, which of course on any watercraft, is bound to happen. Regularly. And at the worst possible times and circumstances.
She seemed better at technical things than he did, yet he seemed to try to do more than his share of tasks. He made his share of understandable errors, all of us as novices make. She and I were calm and understanding, as we all made our share of the usual goofas well.
But then I saw it, and heard it. As his frustration grew, he also began to speak a little more harshly with her. Once saying, in a slightly angry voice, "I can't believe you did that the way you.did." She kept her calm supportive demeanor.
Overall, it was actually congenial. But couples who have been there will know the worrying signs.
Here I am signalling virtue, when in fact, in younger years, I wish I was more patient.
Experientia docet.

Ireland people
Most Ireland guys need nudes pic.. I only noticed this with these kind of people. I need to know why?
looking for real love (sounds weird but yeah I know it's still out there)
Am a 29-year-old single mom from Jamaica with a 3-year-old daughter, looking for someone who would like to be in a serious relationship and get married. Am 100% willing to relocate and start a new life. Would really like to love to get to know this person where we will understand each other inside out, want to be equal as 1 with each other. 
Men start their own movement...
They call it the soft guy era...Drizzle Drizzle movement.
Basically, men are now starting to have their own high standards. These standards are very similar to women, some even say they are the same standards that women have been preaching for the last years.
Some of these standards are:
Women must have money.
They must pay.
They must have high quality physical attributes.
They must also tolerate the lack of appreciation from men.
They must buy the ring for men.
They must approach men.
They must provide them with a lavish lifestyle.
....the list goes on....on the same requirements women have required of men for years.
This movement suggest men stop paying women for anything...that means stop your OF subscriptions, don't pay for dates, don't pay rent, don't pay for anything. In fact what it means, now that women have the same earning potential as men, it means that women pay men. Some even suggest that construction workers even leave their jobs and let women do them. Keep in mind folks, this is just what I am hearing and I am sharing here for you.
What do you think women and men of this? I just am learning about it as I type this.
What I think of it? I think it is cute.
I think it is about time that men pursue their happiness.
Let me ask you men, when women have been making all these crazy high demands, what has that gotten you? The real statistics are there: women are only going after the top 5 to 10% of men...leaving the remaining 90%+ men useless to them.
As I predicted, this recent multi-wave woman movement will lead to a beautiful life in the end. When I mean beautiful life, I mean beautiful for both men and women.
Women ran too far.
and
Men are logical problem solvers. It was a matter of time when men would come up with a solution to the problem. Is this the solution??

What is a Player - part 1
A player in dating is usually a person who uses their charm to emotionally manipulate others into falling in love with them. When their victim happens to fall in love, the fun ends for them: they drop the relationship and head to their next target.
For players, love is merely a game. And the way to win the game is to enter as many lives as possible and leave a string of broken hearts behind.
Will a player ever fall in love? While they may not necessarily fall in love with anyone, it is always best to live with the assumed answer that is no. Remember that for players, being in a relationship is akin to playing a game. While there is a chance they might fall in love, their interest does not lie in building a connection.

8 Signs You’re Dating a Player
It’s a rather common mistake to overgeneralize things. Indeed, players have certain attributes that cannot and should not be ignored. However, it’s important to search for the strong signs rather than blame all the people on a dating site for playing.
Take a look at these characteristics and judge people around you objectively.
1. They Come On Strong
One of the biggest attributes of a player is that they come on very strong. In other words, they’ll tell you lots and lots of sweet things, tell you outright lies, and play mind games. If you see this, don’t rush into believing they really mean everything they say.
Players come on strong because they need to charm you as quickly and efficiently as possible to have a successful booty call. It’s a severe problem if they don’t worry about the emotional intimacy most people who want from a real relationship.
2. Emotional Unavailability and No Sense of Commitment
When you go out with a player, you may notice they are emotionally unavailable. While you seem to think you’re in a serious relationship, they don’t support you. Also, they may seem unwilling to change their relationship status on social media or not meet your emotional needs
In the dating world, when you are going out with someone, you should usually feel some kind of commitment from them. However, players tend to play by their own rules and will look at relationships as games. This means they feel no need to commit to you or anyone else fully.
If you’re also into casual fun, that’s OK – but if you want something serious, you’d better avoid players.
3. You’re Doing Most (If Not All) of the Relationship Work
A healthy relationship is all about give and take. This means that you both put in the effort to try and make it work. That’s why doing most of the work in the relationship is one of the most common warning signs of a player in dating.
To get a better idea of your relationship balance, think of everything you and your partner have done together in the past year:
How many of the things happening were your initiative?
How many times were you the one to write and call first?
How many times did you say “I love you”?
How many times did they say the same?
How many times were you able to be physically intimate without it resulting in sex?
If you think about it and grow concerned about the numbers or the lack of balance, you may be dating a player. Or they are just a person who doesn’t meet your relationship needs.

4. No Consistency
You can always count on players to be consistently inconsistent:
They may keep going MIA
It’s OK for them to ignore your texts or calls
No matter what happens, they just seem to be completely over it.
When you think the relationship is over, they’ll start to love bomb and pull you back in. This leaves many women feeling confused and causes them the unnecessary pain of being heartbroken over and over again.
