I've had a number of cases where I didn't recognize someone, so I check their profile, and lo and behold they have one picture that I recognize as having seen them before. People change their profile pictures and I lose track of who is who.
Serendipity - great attitude. But what do you do when you hit you thumb with a hammer?
I hate swearing. I think it sounds totally gross, and reflects on the speaker. However, there have brrn when I've h my thumb and words come out so fast that I can't stop them. People get startled and, like the person above said, get overwhelmed and don't know what else to say. When I'm in public, I make a rule never to swear in public.
Sad to say, there are a lot of voters (and others) who are too lazy to check out the candidates to see what they are about. So they vote blindly, or because a politician has a name they like, or they like the way the person looks, or whatever, none of which has anything to do with how good or bad a politician is. If every voter worthy of the name would get out their voter's pamphlet, along with using other resources, and thoroughly check each politician's record, then we would get much better candidates. But I know this is too muuch to hope for.
"Yes, the assumption is that the surprise is a good one. To clarify, - I am taking about a guy who doesn't at first glance have the looks and all that going for, him. I'm talking about the quiet ones that does not fall into the hunk category, but that may have a lot more going for him in who he is than what he looks like and how he is prepared to treat a woman, therefore also my belief that a man is know by his actions..."
Lee, every average-looking guy hopes fervently that he will find a woman like you, but few are ever blessed with the extreme privilege of being with such an amazing woman. The above paragragh also shows you to be a beautiful person inside as well (more important than looks, anyway). What an awesome combination!
My opinion - and, again, it's just my humble opinion - is that "plainer-looking" guys can actually be more loving and caring than hunks. Hunks know they are good-looking, that they have most any woman they want, and as a result may not be as attentive as an ordinary guy would be. Average guys know where they stand with women, and as a result will put forth far greater effort to please a woman. Again, just my opinion.
Yeah, I wonder what the life expectancy is for executives of fast food restaurants. That would be interesting to know.
Another perspective: Ya know, we hear every day about this chemical or that chemical being bad for us. It's just impossible to keep up. To avoid all the dangers in our environment, we would wind up starving to death. That's why a lot of people have just given up trying to keep track, and they just live their life. After all, we're all going to die of something.
Nessa, I never thought of turning off the WVM list just to check someone out anonymously. Of course, if you do that, it also wipes out all the ones who have viewed you, which can be useful information in the future, in the right circumstances.
I feel the same way whenever I leave my home for any reason. I'm always anxious to get back home because it's my home base, and that's where I feel most comfortable. No wonder they say, "A man's home is his castle."
I think I might have NVIDIA on my desktop computer, Explorer 2007, Vista. Because the Office expired and I refused to buy it, I went to Open Office 3.4. Now I can see and work with any Microsoft file I want without paying a penny to Microsoft. Take that, Microsoft!
"NO ONE GIRL WANTS ME AS A BOYFRIEND,BUT ONLY JUST AS A FRIEND."
Faerylight, this is the story of my life! An acquaintance of my sister in high school used these exact words about me, so all my life I've taken that to be womens' attitude toward me. Men get really tired of just being a friend, and never being anything more. It gets old really fast!
My dad built a 26' cruiser. So one time I said, "Whatever floats your boat." He laughed himself silly.
Yep, I know what you mean, Fireball. Some inane stuff posted on here, and some occasional serious stuff in the forums, but the latter can get pretty heated. I am a non-confrontational person, so heated discussions aren't for me. I've occasionally done "hit-and-run" posting on controversial subjects on other sites, especially when I realize that the discussion is getting out of hand. That's why I don't post or participate in a lot of controversial posts.
And eventually, the car comes to a complete standstill. The engine revs, but the car ain't going anywhere. That means the seals have busted ($2,600 U.S.).
Not really, Morg. There are just some women on here that I admire tremendously, but realistically I'm smart enough to know I wouldn't have a chance with any of them. Too many strikes against me, for one thing, plus distance would be a huge problem for me, as I can't afford to travel to meet anyone. I only go with one woman at a time. You won't find a two-timer here, despite what it sounds like. I'm shy and not a chaser at all, so the assumption is that the woman would be chasing me. Wouldn't be much of a chase at all, really, because I would be captured before I could let out a peep. The old "you had me at hello" routine, ya know? That's how my first wife got me. "Oh, by the way, we're getting married in 4 months." "HUH????? Married???" "Yup, 4 months, dude." True story! Sad, but true.
RE: before and after
Choco, you look amazing, just as you are. Don't change a thing!
