Is it what it appears to be....or is it something else (91)
Snuggs09: I know you are right but you are 24 years old. I'm 68. Can't afford to make anymore mistakes. Besides, I would have to be a cougar if I was looking for love cause there aren't any men my age on CS in my area. And to be honest, I don't think I would be compatible with senior men.
Cougar would be more fun but I'm more of a long term person.
You hit the nail on the head.....it is a violent game and sometimes just not worth all the aggravation.
Sooooooooooooo, I'm more comfortable in my own space on my own time,
Damn lol i need to upgrade my profile im actually 27 lol. Anyways cougar would be awesome and yes at 68 maybe you should be more cautious...or maybe you should divulge yourself into happiness. Dance the night aways.....you look pretty good for 68Cougar would be more fun but I'm more of a long term person.

Snuggs09: Thank you for the time you put into your response.
You made a point that I practice all the time. When someone is rude to me, say a clerk in a store, I just let it go the first time because he/she may have just been told bad news. There is a time to give the benefit of doubt.
Nice to meet you Hotty....

Now now - don't be fast, lest you get disappointed.
My next post may not go down well with you
Tomorrow is another day and afterall it may not be very nice to meet me.

Snuggs09: Let me put it this way. This scenario is not all about me.
If I was looking for a man on the internet, I would play nice, right? I certainly wouldn't write about my problems. I would write about things that I want someone to be attracted to.
And Mr. Wonderful sees what I wrote and thinks, hmmmmm, she's a nice girl, I'll send her a flower or an email to test the waters.
I write back.......oh, thank you, blah, blah, blah, and he continues to be interested.
We meet, and after 5 or 6 dates starts I start to reveal what's going on in my life. He's thinking, why did I ever send that email.
My point is, people do everything they can to get someone to be interested in them.
It's a matter of trusting your gut when you send that first email. Is it all worth it????

I dunno, Snuggs.
I think a rapport, or chemistry online can be starlkly different from face to face, meeting someone face to face for the first time can be starkly different from how two people would be when more comfortable with each other.
One of the many reasons that I'm not looking for a relationship is because I'm aware of the difference between my internet reality and my real life reality. I'm not sure the whole process is quite fair and true.
I do however, think its a fairly good way to make friends and socially interact in a way that fits in with our quirks and lifestyles.

The cougar is working...but that picture is 5 years old. I haven't changed the pic cause I'm not on the prowl. I look a little older, a little fatter and a lot wiser...

I agree. It is a good way to make "acquaintances". I can't say that the people I meet on here are friends because I have a very definitive idea of who a friend is. But the people I have met, who appear to be kind, friendly and interested in who I am, give me a reason to come back to CS, although I am spending too much time on here.

Snuggs09: Not to say that anyone else isn't telling the truth, but I think Freddy is being logical.
If we didn't know who Charles Manson was and one day he posted in a thread all sugar responses, we would think, what a nice guy, only soon to learn that he wasn't.
If we didn't know who Charles Manson was and one day he posted in a thread all sugar responses, we would think, what a nice guy, only soon to learn that he wasn't.
There was some psychology experiment carried out some time ago where people were shown photos that were accompanied by a description of that person. They were then asked to describe that person's face.
Taking your example of Charles Manson, if he were described as a charitable worker who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, people would describe him as having kind eyes, an open honest face, blah, blah, blah.
Likewise, Mother Theresa with a summary of her mass murdering antics, would be described as having evil eyes and a shifty disposition.
So, you right Snuggs. We have a tendency as humans to take things on face value and therefore are open to awfully big errors of judgement.
Maybe it just has a little less impact if we are looking for friendship because our expectations are less intense and we share, or prepare to share less of ourselves than with a potential lover.

I am pretty much me in all that i do here on the internet, my moods change so of course my interaction changes but people really get to know "me" through messaging and chatting.( whenever I do meet someone face to face that i met online, they tell me Im exactly the same as I am online with a little bit of surprise because I believe most they have met are not ( at least thats what im told ). I believe in being a true as a I can be to myself and dont have a need to be something/someone else , because in truth people will either like you or not like you and I only want people in my life who will like me for me, the good , the bad, the ugly lol. I do pay attention to how people are on the forums , people start showing a bit more of the true selfs throughout time i think but its hard to know because it is easy to hide behind a screen, but through normal and regular chats is normally where i like to get to know someone and let them get to know me JMO

Hai Snuggs,
Good point. Some people fill out their profile in a slap dash way as they're only here for the forums, so don't need them to be totally accurate.
The ones here for dating, tend to be more accurate. Apart from the scammers. But they stand out a mile away.

Or sometimes the truth can be a little confusing. My education was very different to what I do now. Sometimes people find that inconsistent and get suspicious that I'm telling porkies, but its all quite simple when explained. I've seen this happen with other people as well.

Snuggs09: Would you contact a man going by what he says in a thread?
Snuggs, I think you have a very good post here. I think we all want people to perceive us as nice and approachable. It is easy to form opinions and thoughts about people over what they may or may not post in the threads.Here, as in our personal lives we will meet people that will touch our hearts more than others. In my short time here I have seen an incredibly diverse array of personalities. CS is a dating site so one should never be afraid to contact another if they feel an interest. If the other person is not intersted, it should not be mistaken for rejection. Back when I was much younger, I believe I was 53 at the time, a fellow said to me, "I can live without liking myself sometimes, but I would die without the friendship of others". Friendship is such a powerful word, isn't it? We all only need that one special person to complete ourselves, so I would say that the odds are in our favour.Sometimes things happen when we least expect it. Ken!!
Snuggs, you are the first lady I met here on CS and you will always be a sweetheart to me, so these are for you

If you behaved like a cowardly tw*t, the chances are I'd call you a cowardly tw*t.
As it is, I just call you a low down, dirty, rotten slapper.

Snuggs, you are the first lady I met here on CS and you will always be a sweetheart to me, so these are for you
Awwwwwwww, thanks hon. CS is a dating site but I am here just to have people to communicate with. We all post many different kinds of threads on a variety of subjects. I remember one day a guy got annoyed because someone posted a thread about a subject that had nothing to do with dating. He carried on ranting and raving that this is a dating site and why was there a thread about ....whatever the subject was.
I find that people have very short tempers more in a forums than they probably would have face to face.
It really is rejection if you contact a woman and she says....thanks but no thanks. I would feel that way and to tell you the truth, I would wish I didn't take the initiative.
As for one special person to complete our lives, I have to disagree with you on that one Ken. If we don't feel a whole person before we contact someone, we aren't going to be able to put our whole self into making a relationship work. We can't expect someone else to make us whole.
The odds aren't in my favor to meet someone because I know that I would be a living hell for a good man. Not that I would want that, it's just who I am at this point in my life. I'm opinionated, tired, cranky, I don't have patience for nonsense but I do have patience when someone needs to talk. I'm just not the person I years ago.
You on the other hand, from what I read in your posts, would have been my dream man 10 years ago. Life has changed me.
I'm honored to be your "first woman" on CS. And this is for you

I'm sorry "CO". I'm pretty strict about my real name so I understand.
