When we look at photos it's sometimes very difficult to guess age? So many women on here look so damn young? Very beautiful older women! And young women can look decidely worn out. Would it not be a good idea to have an age tab on photos? The 'whos viewed me' is a bit too hit and miss? Just a thought.
An Englishman fell for a Thai Bride. After marriage she left him for another woman. Took half his house and savings. He had learnt his lesson No more Thais! Now going to China........ True!
The phrase "The Willing Suspension of Disbelief" applies too often. Not carping, have done it often. My cynical reaction is he's married and got caught early. Panicked? You're a nice lady. Why risk it with him?
You gave good advice! Marriage is supposed to be a partnership with both people pulling together not one of them being dragged as a dead weight. I'd sell her computer.....as a hint.....!
Self Pride helped me to walk away from a cheating wife who had humiliated me. It gave me back some dignity. The determination to move on. It was a good thing for me.
Once met a lady. Gelled hair. Skimpy top. Short shorts? On the site, my age. In reality her son two years older than me. A Child Bride? I did feel sorry for her and stayed. She did think she was gorgeous which made it very sad. Sometimes perhaps people lie to themselves and are not aware of lying to you? A lady I know had a date who had described all his clothes for their meeting. Forgot to mention he was 3ft 6". She is 5ft 4" It wasn't the height problem but the deception that put her off.
Can I seek your perspectives on a related issue? Have met a lovely lady. But another one came back from the ether. I know stupid but she wants to meet up? Just tempted I suppose? Think it might be committment jitters? Or sweetie shop syndrome? She is French, gorgeous and unreliable. I feel guilty even to think of it? But Oscar Wilde: I can resist anything but Temptation. Please tell me not to see her!
Well. Thats told me! Many points taken on. Honestly. Have also met a lovely lady. So can join the happy brigade hopefully. Boost my ego, avoid seeing a shrink and not gloat at all. Who needs a shrink when this Forum does it for you? The different perspectives and responses are great. Truly. Thanks.
I wish women would spell out issues they have! Too often expect us poor men to be intuitive and know what they say but really mean are very different! e.g. Recently........"You have a fantastic personality". Means "I don't fancy you."
Can you be friends with a woman you have fallen for completely who has rejected you as a lover?
I have met my dream woman. We met several times and got on very well. But she is still in love with her Ex. When rejected I said I'd vanish. She very warmly asked if we could be friends? Why? Do I have hope?
Just an observation? It seems to me that Dating sites, despite all the chat about honesty, integrity,intelligence, etc. actually rely on looks. If you look good all else is secondary. The beautiful evil woman , or the handsome cheating man? Or Vice Versa! Both exploit because everyone pretends they want decent human qualities but surrender immediately to a lovely smile. Yes looks are imporant but are they paramount? If so, then maybe we should all just save up for surgery. When young I had a very beautiful girlfriend. With a To Let sign on her brain. I basked in the envy of other men but finally she drove me nuts. It was like being with a shell of a person? I had the trappings but completely empty. Since being led by bad luck to dating again, I despair at the shallowness that persists. Does personality ever transcend looks?
RE: Sabotaging relationships
I would never do anything like that again. Threw away dull gold for tinsel.
