Picture this - you match with someone on a dating app and get talking. It goes quite well, and you joke around while still maintaining a somewhat serious getting to know each other type of conversation.

At some point - silence. Not a peep for three days. You begin to form a message in your head like "Hey, did I say or do something you didn't like or approve of? Because if so, I am sorry", only to be met with "profile deleted".

That happened to me - and it's not the first time, which makes me wonder if there's something wrong with me, or if I have to change my whole approach to talking to people online. The only thing I can think I did wrong is jokingly say "I am available at that day. Just saying!" when she named the food she was going to make. Again - it was a joke. I would never force anyone to meet me if they didn't want to. I also made that clear to this person.

I have also experienced being ghosted several times, and being asked for money a few times. One person asked me if my family was rich. When I said no, I was blocked.

Maybe online dating isn't for me. The last time I met someone on a dating app, we went for a coffee but she decided that nothing more would come of it, because of what she called "multiple red flags" - which left me pretty dumbstruck, since I didn't do anything red flag stuff. We walked and talked for an hour, so I am not entirely sure why multiple red flags were shown.

Maybe it was my video gaming, the way I talked or what I ate. I simply don't know, because she refused to say what those red flags were.

Maybe I'll just stay single. It's working out pretty well so far, anyway

Certain foods are said to increase the arousal of passion in relationships.
Nuts, particularly walnuts, seeds like sunflower and pumpkin, are full of zinc and L- Arginine to get you in the mood.
Celery contains androsterone which is released through male perspiration and should turn women on.
Bananas contain bromelain enzyme that increase libido.
Garlic contains allicin which increase blood flow to the s*xual organs.
I'm off to the supermarket to fill my trolley with nuts, celery, Bananas and garlic.
If you have tried anything that has boosted your s*xual appetite, let us know.

Scientists are concerned about the spread of disease within deer populations in North America, write Samuel White and Philippe Wilson.


In the tranquil expanses of North America’s woodlands and grasslands, a silent but concerning phenomenon is unfolding: chronic wasting disease (CWD).


The condition — often dubbed "zombie deer disease" — is stealthily spreading among deer populations, sparking concerns among scientists, conservationists and the public alike.


This neurological affliction, characterised by myriad symptoms, such as drooling, lethargy, stumbling and a vacant gaze, has now been detected in over 800 samples of deer, elk and moose in Wyoming alone, highlighting the scale and urgency of the issue.


At the heart of the CWD puzzle lies a peculiar culprit: prions.

I need a valentines date

When your remotes have their own side of the bed

It is interesting, I will say.

I have heard some stories lately and it has made me think.

The title of the blog is "problem...as a single attractive man" This problem I speak of does not apply to single attractive women.

Now, let's make some unobvious statements here. When men and women find attractive in the opposite sex is a bit different. Men are visual, and so are women. So, when I say a single attractive man, I men a man...he don't have to be a super model, but must somewhat be pleasing to the eye...and of course, women value a man's personality as well. So, this man must be accepted by the community he is in.

Okay, here is the story.

A man gets out of a long term relationship, by his choice. He is out of society for 10+ years when he was in a relationship. He does not think anything about himself other than he needs to get his new life on track and start living it.

It is not long, he decides he main form of socializing in a small community will be at the bars. (not the best place..yes...I agree) But, he starts there. He starts going to the bar, not drinking a lot...he is not a big drinker...but just to get his mind off of things and start getting in touch with some old friends and making new friends along the way. This man is baffled one day. A man comes up to him and this man is begging him..."please don't take my wife, she is all I have." The newly single man looks at him in the most confusing way and say, no problem...no need to worry, I have no intention on doing anything like that.

This newly single man is not really looking for a new relationship. He is still trying to figure out where he wants to be in that realm of his life. For now, he is perfectly fine being single. Not to mention, he knows how it is when somebody cheats with a man's woman...and he would not want to bring that into anyone's life.

Fast forward to last night. This single man, who has been single for some time now is out on the town and out of nowhere, another man comes up behind him...a friend of his (so he thought) and starts to choke him. I was told there was some alcohol involved, so this stuff does happen...it is a bar. So the single man sitting down gets up and throws the man choking him off of him. The single man keeps proclaiming, what is going on here? I did not know there was anything between us. This went on for about a minute or so until the so-called friend's wife came over. She said something and that seemed to have got the aggressive man even more aggressive toward the single man. Then the single man put 2+2 together. Is she the reason for what just happen? The aggressive man starts stating...she is mine, we are married. The single man...all he could say, being confused and all was, "I am happy for you two."

All of that came out of nowhere...the single man told me he was totally unaware of him even being behind him.

So...the problem with single attractive men.

Can jealous men become wrongfully violent toward them?

From the story I heard, I would say yes. It is something that a man will need to become mindful of.

The top menu line of CS contains a few menu items. Drop down menus are the looking glass for searches, the people button and of course the Profile and Inbox menus. In between you find your 'matches' which you might hope are CS limits to local members within your search preferences, but search preferences are largely ignored. You will see all members, young and old: women if you are a straight man, all men if you are a straight woman. You can tune who you see by adding an age range or a specific location in the menu at the right. The ordering is according to the last log-on date and time.

And then there is the "meet-me" button, which shows 'new members' in your local area. You can 'swipe' either 'yes', 'may be' or 'no'. Candidly to all members you answered 'yes' CS sends a 'like'. As a rookie, I wasn't aware of this. Nowadays I don't use the 'Meet me' button any longer. A peculiar side effect of using the "meet me" button, is that when responding 'yes' without a full profile view, the recipient of the 'like' doesn't notice the sender among his 'profile views'. This is a tell-tale of people having used the "meet me" button. (Technically you might also switch 'hiding my views' and then send a like. This suggests a twisted mindset.)

If you don't really like to receive messages from certain regions or continents or from people (far) outside your target age range, you can specify this by editing your block settings. Your default block settings are lifted for all members you 'like'. A member who 'likes' you, thereby also lifts his/her block settings for messaging (if there were any). If 'likes' are mutual, messaging is possible by default.

So, ladies. What do you think is a better date, sitting on the guard rail watching cars or grocery shopping?

When I logged in this morning, I was greeted with an advertisement to Upgrade to Premium. It offers an add-free experience, ability to upload more photos, premium profile badge, send more messages and likes per day.

I didn't know there was a daily limit on the amount of likes or messages...

Okay, so who wants to be the first to upgrade?
