I've had two dates this year where I've had to wonder what their definition of "regularly" would be. One's profile said he smoked "occasionally", and he smoked more than I did, which is a pack/day. The other one said he drinks "occasionally"...and if that's 4 beers/day, I hate to see what "regularly" used to be.
So...how do you define occasionally? To me, for drinking, it would be a couple of times a week at most, and for smoking anything from only in a bar to a few cigarettes a week....more than that is daily or regularly in my books. Am I insane?

That definition of occasionally sounds similar to that Nivea TV commercial that promotes DNAge "acting on the centre of aging: the DNA"....oh god! give me a break. As I said in another thread: just marketing, say bunch of lies. Good thread.. as least for my purposes.

Oh yeah...not like I haven't seen it, but never from those on forums. Just from ones who were total strangers but for their profiles initially. I think in forums, most are ourselves because we have friends here. And it would be too hard to keep up lies long term with so many people...especially when it goes off CS, even as just friends.

Ok, I see. I do not have friends here because I am new or because friendship takes a while but I can see your point and your good heat in trusting your friends. Have a good day.
sassy49senior: I agree Dru. If you are on here to hopefully connect with someone, be honest from the start. No, you are not insane g/f. Occasinally is not often(LOL)
I never smoke but smokers have been in my life forever.
I drink once in awhile, not often.
See...that's occasional drinking to me. And yes, I'm very honest. And far from perfect. Believe me. But I have certain standards on these things now, and that didn't fit my definitions of them. And if you lie about something like that, what else do you lie about? I've changed my smoking on my profile as it's changed, like when I was trying to quit, and when it failed...twice. I keep it updated. It now clearly states that I'm taken, too. Honesty is always best.

If you stick around, and keep an open mind instead of judging others from the start, you'll make some friends. This is a great place, and accepts many no matter their quirks. Just be you. That's what I do. And it didn't take long to make friends that I value very much. I've only been on here for 4 months. And I met a special man on here when he came on just a month ago...built from friendship to more, with potential to be much more. So...you never know.
Having met first in forums, we already knew who each other were, and we're as real, or more so, privately even than here. It was a great base to build upon.

When I occasioanlly take a sip of my beer and the odd puff of my cigarette....

Good point, what may be occasionally to one may not be for another....
