RE: Howdy!

Hi there... Just luuuuuurve the Irish humour! Welcome!

RE: Howdy!

Thanks!!!

RE: Do You Think I Am Good Looking?

Ok now that you've straightened out the pic.... Get that thing out yer mouth!! and I'm not sure that describing your body as "curvy" is going to win you many takers? Unless of course you are that way inclined?

RE: whats the biggest age gap you would date

Yep! Especially since they have that saying: You're as old as the woman you feel!!!!

RE: If he/she was unavailable ten years ago, but is available now, would you go out with him/her?

I don't see why not. It depends on the relationship at the time and why you didn't get together then. If it was for a good reason, and you still feel that attraction, then why not give it a chance? Nothing ventured - nothing gained. You just have to be realistic and honest with yourself. Chances are you've both changed a lot during the years that have gone past, and you may find after dating a while that you don't actually have that much in common anymore! Perhaps it was and is just a physical attraction? On the other hand, you may be perfectly in sync. How will you know if you don't try - assuming you are both single?

RE: How many Kids do you have ?

Two boys - 11 & 8! I would've loved a daughter, but it was not to be.... and my boys get along so fantastically that in retrospect, it was good my second was also a boy!

RE: whats the biggest age gap you would date

Well it seems particularly these days that love doesn't have an age limit ........ and it really does depend on the individual, but probably for me about 10 years younger and 6 years older... You are only talking about dating though?

RE: Bodybuilding....

Sorry..... I don't have a CLUE who he is! But, as I said, in my opinion toned looks good, but just don't take it to the extreme...

RE: Bodybuilding....

Yes, I think it's great as long as you don't take it to the extreme! Nothing worse (to me anyway) than a guy with triceps as big as my thighs and with big blue veins popping out all over the place... Some of the guys I've seen in gyms grimace and groan and look like they're about to turn into the Incredible Hulk any minute! But toned is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry yummy!

RE: Volcanic Coffee Machines, Spitting Beer Pumps !!!!!!

You gotta laugh! I think the first day at any job is really stressful, but I bet they've asked you back because you're such a character! Soon you'll be making cappuccino's like a pro! Good luck......

RE: Howdy!

Hi there....... welcome. I'm also pretty new (a week or two)! Watch out, these forums can get pretty addictive! Anyway, have fun!

RE: Chemistry

It was never my strong point! Always used to blow things up!!!

RE: looking 4 a thick woman

A veritable mine of information! .... and yes VOLUPTUOUS is tricky to spell!!!

RE: looking 4 a thick woman

Thanks for the explanation. I have never heard it used that way!!! ... was thinking thick as in dumb!

RE: LIFES MYSTERY

Did you by any chance write that song: "I talk to the trees....."???? I always wondered why the next line wasn't ......"that's why they put me away!!!!!!"

RE: Am I average in Connecticut

Dear LORD, I think you may need some growth hormones!!!!!

RE: Is it hard sometimes not to be bitter?....After you have been really hurt?

For some people it is VERY hard to let go and not to be bitter but life is full of inequities. It doesn't make sense for your own health and wellbeing to hold onto all that negative stuff. It just hurts YOU in the end. I always remind myself that sure, sometimes life is tough, but there is always someone worse off than you - it helps to put my scenario back into perspective. Unfortunately, more ofen than not, true perspective is usually only in hindsight!!! Just work on healing yourself by taking some responsibility for whatever happened, learning whatever life lesson you can, and then placing it firmly where it belongs - in the past. My mantra: Never regret yesterday, for life is in me today and I make my own tomorrow. Take baby steps.... and good luck!

RE: Is love scary?

Well enjoy the ride!!!!

RE: I don't understand...

Hiya darlin! I think there is someone for everyone..... Don't get all worried that it is how you look that is putting men off. Looks mean zilch if you don't have the fab personality to back them up! I think this is just ONE way of meeting a potential partner. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, and try to take this whole thing lightly!

RE: Is love scary?

Well, I'm happy for you and whoever your lady is!!!

RE: Who will win 2010 Football World Cup

Hmmmmm I'm now at a loss but if I had to guess, I would say it's going to be Brazil vs. Germany in the final!!!! I thought Spain played really well last night against Portugal. Off to the quarter finals on Fri morning to watch Brazil vs Netherlands!!! Yeeha!!!

RE: Why are there so many guys that post pictures that are 25 years old!

I think it does work both ways! Everyone on here is to a certain extent trying to market themselves so I think it's natural to put your best pics in. As you say though, sometimes it is a total misrepresentation... and if you're serious about meeting someone, it makes no sense to start the relationship out with a big lie - doesn't evoke much trust! I had one meeting with a guy on another dating site who was years older and much larger than his pic. Even though he was nice, there was no chemistry and I was put off that he'd felt the need to lie about what he actually looked like without even an apology when we met (even though he must've seen my shock). Sorry, even though personality is the most important thing, we are also visual creatures, and there must be some attraction to looks as well. Not sure about you guys, but I am more likely to meet a man who shows himself the way he is then wows me with his sparkling wit and great personality... Honesty is the best policy!

RE: Is love scary?

Yes I get what you're saying... When you open your heart to someone you're allowing yourself to feel vulnerable, and underlying all the "I can conquer the world" feelings, is a thread of fear - what if you lose it? When you think about the people you truly love, there is always the fear that they will be taken away from you... even if it may not be expressed. Ask any mother what her greatest fear is - it will be the loss of her child. I guess that's what makes "falling in love" such a roller coaster ride, and why so many people are unable to open themselves up fully - the fear of getting hurt is too great. But that's the paradox... If we don't open ourselves up fully, we won't feel the magnificence of love! I love the feeling of being in love... and look forward to finding it again!!!

BLONDES

Well I used to be blonde when I was a kid and now have highlights so am allowed to poke a bit o fun!

BLONDES

This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid. So, she decides to show her husband that blondes really are smart.

While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a couple of rooms in the house. The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand.
Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of paint.. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat.. He notices that she is wearing a heavy parka and a leather jacket at the same time. He goes over and asks her if she is OK. She replies yes. He asks what she is doing and she replies that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb, and she wanted to do it by painting the house..

He then asks her why she has a parka over her leather jacket. She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and it said....



You'll love this...







Yep. I know you will....

RE: 5 People whose posts you always read

Me too!

RE: Do You Think I Am Good Looking?

You are referring to Fabio Canavarro (with hair)??? Swoon!!! WHY oh WHY did those Slovakians have to knock the Italians out of the World Cup???!!!

RE: Do You Think I Am Good Looking?

I am hesitant to answer... We all have such different tastes. Everyone has someone who will think they're gorgeous, and I don't think you're an exception! Don't get so caught up in your appearance... Most of us would choose a great personality over good looks any day - of course finding a partner with both is a bonus! Good luck sweetpea!

RE: Aww,Shucks, I'm American

RE: Aww,Shucks, I'm American
