hollandgirl: Sounds good but I have few friends. I lost most married "friends" when my husband passed away in January 2006. All our friends were couples but everyone is gone bye bye. They no longer feel comfortable as your not a foursome anymore. My neighbour, the only single friend, just found herself someone. So I spend most of my time alone. I use our pool do my exersizes, read etc. but I am mostly my only company. Volunteer some but that is it. I moved with my husband twelve times in 21 years so I stopped even trying to make friends. Would just as well love to have some girlfriends
Ah bless you Jen.
Are there not any clubs near you? Where you could go, I cannot bear to think you of alone, you are so lovely and bright and vivacious.
Perhaps I will come and see you, I will adopt you and we will go and do funt things together and find us both a man who wants to kiss us and make love?
What do you think?
Two ladies looking for a guy, we would be irresistable!

Oh I bet we would have oodles of fun. Yes I know I should be getting a life a real one. This computer is my life line and it is really rediculous.
Just in my other post I have told that when It comes to men I am out of circulation now ha ha Well it would be different going out with you. Okay let me see what I can wear now, just ordered nice slinky boots.

I've met 1 person, from another site and it was only to give her a start of some plants that I had and she wanted. We met and she exclaimed that I needed to get a better pic up because I didn't really look like my pic. Luckily(for me), she said I looked much better in person. So I guess if you're gonna misrepresent that would be the side to error to. Though I'm not misrepresenting anything intentionally, like already mentioned if you end up meeting they're gonna know. Why lie to get them to the meet if you know they'll probably walk anyway once the deciet is discovered?

Do not see anything that YOU enjoy doing as ridiculous, computers are a wonderful thing and places like this are, so it is not ridiculous and you are a lovely asset to this place.
Oh nice slinky boots, you need a nice slinky outfit to slink alongside those.
Having a man, is lovely and having friends is special too.
When I moved alone to a new country where my language skills were very limited, I felt very alone, but I went out and made myself 'avaliable' not to men, but to build my social circle, I would go to bars, which are very different here and people watch, or read my paper, and I would smile and then I would get a phonecall, then straight away 'Are you English?' then please join us for a glass of wine and that is how I began,
So, do not think you are being ridiculous at all, this place got me through some tough times, even though I kept it to myself, it just did, because whether here or face to face, nothing better than people to brighten the soul.

Yes I agree and some people are just not photgenic...I know I'm not...but I think it's more intentional misrepresentation that is more concerning..for me anyway....and thinking that anyone is gonna "accept" intentional dishonesty....

Don't err either way as it also may cost you. I see on pictures that the man is a big guy. His profile says; average yeah right, a few pounds over. Knowing this from the start that they are overweight or what ever will not make me let him go. But finding that a picture is a least ten years old, will do it!
They say they are honest, they are not a player, they want a real relatiionship, they are tired of head games and getting their heart broken, etc. etc....
Then why do I notice this pattern? I've had this happen to me twice now.
I start talking to a guy, first IM and email then telephone then after some time of getting to know each other, we make arrangements to meet in person. They fly over to Spokane here, we meet, things seem to be going well, we have a great few days or so together, laughing and enjoying each other's company. It comes time for them to fly back home, we part our ways smiling and saying how we need to meet again blah blah blah... BUT... what actually ends up happening is that we talk again as usual for about 2 weeks or so, maybe a month then towards that month mark, they just fade away. They disappear on me. They can't even be manly enough or have enough balls to tell me directly, hey I found someone locally, I lost interest in you, I dont think the distance is going to work, whatever their reason is, I am a big girl, I can handle it. Just tell me you don't want to talk to me anymore and I'll be fine. Why just fade away and leave me wondering what is going on and only after a little bit of time, do I obviously figure it out, oh gee you dont want to be with me anymore!
Gee if that isn't a head game, amongst other things, such as selfish and juvenile bahavior, I don't know what is. One was 35 and one was 34 years old.
I am just burnt out on games and bs. I need someone to get to know me for the right reasons. Not shallow or selfish reasons or to use me and toss me away.
Why can't I find someone who really cares about me for WHO I AM and not just for what I look like? Does he even exist? Thus, I have yet to discover.
One thing i have maintained is dont go by pics .. i am photogenic at times .. doesnt say anything more than just that.
Plus i do not believe in putting up personal info. on forums for various reasons. So , if i do like someone its mutual to share then not otherwise. So .. i would expect its understood what u see is the person i am but theres a lot which i wont publish on a forum.
Like a tv dinner. not very fulfilling, or truly appetizing once the package is opened, most assuredly not up to the pretentious advertising displayed on its surface. Many people just have the natural ability to sell themselves and write the most appropriate jingle to catch in your mind's eye. Somewhere along the line the entirety of the issue falls far short of the initial portrayal. The trick is to give it plenty of time to clear the state of illusion and manifest itself as a certainty. There is no assurance of deciphering the nature of the beast at times until the strike comes, but with each progressive strike comes learning and healing that protect one from continued assaults from predation. Perhaps reinvestigating your own perspective on what you are looking for might derive some clue as to how these men keep managing to show up in your life, as though there were a line up waiting to steal your innocence? There is no blame but definitely a period of evaluation and learning is called for to better serve your desires for fulfillment and happiness.
Anyone that has to really convince others of information...well its quite obvious really...humbleness speaks more words than egotism.. Don't despair...there are lots of dishonest men and women..but also many many honest people...look for the good in people, that means looking beyond the skin deep....
and reptile skin.......lol...just joking!!!
Kiss a few frogs..people are usually only a product of their past and be the only person they know how to be...it takes time to get to know someone..
To be honest , i met someone whom i didnt know too well but still everything said on the profile and otherwise was and is so true , rather even better in real.
Shanmariee: Well how about this for a lie on a profile...
