RE: Is there a quality you've always wished for in a partner but never gotten?

No, damn it, I %$#@&! don't!!!!!!!!

RE: What does a guy gotta do to find a girl on here!???

Damn it...I got all those except the going to church part. So close...but no cigar.... (By "rich" I naturally assumed you meant "rich in spirit"; and by "good-looking" you meant "good vision," of course, which I qualify for with 20-20 and no glasses, even at my relatively advanced age).

RE: What does a guy gotta do to find a girl on here!???

I don't see any problem finding women here. It's doing something with them that's proving to be rather a quandary.

RE: Well................i met another player.........

Would anyone be willing to give examples of how they've been "played" online here? I'm kind of wondering how that works (not that I'm looking to learn how to do it myself . )

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

So you were playing "devil's advocate," Ferdowsi, in order to serve up a cautionary tale as a faux fundamentalist to the readers here?

Man, if I'm understanding you correctly, that was a pretty dangerous tactic. No wonder so many people are confused about where you stand and what you're trying to accomplish here.

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

Okay. Do you mind my asking what you actually said?

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

Yeah, I did miss it. Is that where he allegedly expressed a wish for annihilating Americans?

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

Where did he advocate bombing/gassing America? The "Poolak" thread?

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

Okay.

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

Fair enough. So who were you referring to?

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

Not ALL of us, Ferdowsi. Just those whose vision has been apparently clouded by the word "Moslem."

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

Yes, I'm an American. And I've just been called a troll for advocating American values! It just gets weirder and weirder.

It appears that most people responding in this thread are fixating on the bugaboo "Moslem" and then turning their brains and vision off. I guess if a guy wearing a turban says: "I believe in freedom and justice for all people!" these guys would hear: "Stone the infidels!"

Wow -- don't think I've ever seen such a graphic illustration of pure prejudice. Fortunately, all of this is written, so the truth is objectively demonstrable as to who is misreading and not misreading your comments.

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

If one defines "troll" as someone who is able to read words and actually comprehend them. The book and its author are presenting a pro-freedom, pro-western message.

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

Thanks, Ferdowki. This book sounds interesting, and possibly inspiring, as it chronicles on man's struggle against doctrinaire Islamism. I plan to check it out.

Wouldn't you be at risk of prosecution from Iranian authorities for posting something like this?

RE: Please raed and judge!!!!

The book seems to be expressing a rather pro-Western point of view, from what I've gleaned from the excerpts. Yet everyone here seems to be responding as though Ferdowsi is offering pro-Moslem propaganda (aided by his apparent unwillingness to simply point this out).

RE: Guys do you like to cuddle?

Sure, as long we can maintain our personal space while doing it.

RE: Guys do you like to cuddle?

I was hoping not to have to bring my manacles with me next time I visited England...

RE: Women always have the last word in any argument!

Come on, guys. You know how this thread has to end, don't you? Otherwise, our case has been disproven...

RE: I've given much more than I've gotten

But if you're honest enough about yourself to realize this, it seems like you've completed the most difficult step towards being someone who wouldn't make those mistakes. People who don't honestly examine themselves have no chance of improvement. Of course, if you're perfect like me, and have never made mistakes or have anything to regret, then it's not an issue

RE: I've given much more than I've gotten

Almost sounds as though she's paying you a compliment...

RE: Time to be honest guys

HORAY!!

RE: Ok people. I did like you all said.

I think the majority of people here do (that's my impression, anyway). And of course a lot of guys here would be rightfully terrified of anyone in the criminal law business

In my observation, the sad truth is that online singles meeting places are simply not very effective places to kindle romances; the even sadder truth is that online meeting places are probably far more effective than many other venues for that purpose. I think people coming into this -- myself very much included -- have a grossly over-optimistic view of our chances, because we think the selective mechanisms supposedly available in the profiles, and the relatively large numbers of people, should offer excellent possibilities. The reasons for that are complex, and would require a long essay which most here wouldn't read, so I don't think I'll attempt it.

That being said, your probability of meeting someone is almost infinitely greater here than if you sit at home watching television or reading books by yourself in the evenings!

RE: Is there a quality you've always wished for in a partner but never gotten?

I know I'm not in your good graces right now, Babsie (I promise, no more botched jokes for awhile), but are you serious about never being in a relationship where you were treated honestly and compassionately? That seems pretty sad, if true. (I wasn't sure how to interpret your "stamina" remark).

RE: Is there a quality you've always wished for in a partner but never gotten?

Well, that does seem just a wee bit creepy, doesn't it?

Still, I can't help but sort of wish someone would feel that way toward me, if only briefly. But that's probably a case of being careful what you wish for...

RE: A Few Quotes - Warning - of an Athiest Nature

Hey, I'm always susceptible to a good proof!

Anyway, this is nice to see. Some beautiful quotes. I thought I was the only atheist here. Or are you all mere agnostics, and my uniqueness is preserved?

Why post photos of younger selves?

RE: Is there a quality you've always wished for in a partner but never gotten?

Thanks -- I've thought the same thing. I doubt it's a coincidence that I've picked more emotionally remote women. I might end up not liking it at all if I actually did find a lady who was more emotional. I'll have to think about that more.

It's interesting. I was talking to a friend the other day who surprised me by saying something similar to what I did above. He said his wife couldn't stand to talk about "deep things" or anything that had emotional substance, like dealing with a problem child, for instance. So maybe I'm not entirely alone in this respect.

Why post photos of younger selves?

I didn't know about your niece, Babsie. Just another misfired joke -- I'm sorry! I seem to be on quite an "unroll" this morning. Now I really will shut up for awhile.

Why post photos of younger selves?

I've attempted three jokes this morning, and am so far batting 0-3. I can't even seem to type correctly. Sorry, Luscious. I was attempting a parody of a dumb thing I said before, and ended up saying a dumb thing. I need to go up and fix the leak in my roof or something...

RE: Women always have the last word in any argument!

It's funny, I had an argument about that with my ex the other day. I claimed she always had to get in the last word. "No, I don't!" she snapped. "Yes, you do!" "Do not!" "Do, too." "Not!"

And then she hung up on me.
