RE: Honesty.. are you?

No, this behaviour would probably destroy a relationship.

However, I had a very jealous ex boyfriend relatively recently who amongst other things, would demand that I show him my mobile numbers and I wouldn't, not because I had anything to hide, but because he was being unreasonable and didn't trust me....or anybody for that matter as it turned out.

RE: Love and hate

I don't like the vomit emoticon as most people here know!

Mayonnaise, even home made yuk!

Vinegar, olive oil and lemon juice yummy!

RE: why most women don't show there pic in profile

I think there are more men without pictures than women, but I may be wrong.

Does it really matter? People have their own, often valid reasons for not posting a picture.

Having said that, I dislike receiving mail indicating a romantic interest in me without a photo, particularly if they make it clear that they have chosen to write to me in this way based on my profle AND photos. It's rather hypocritical don't you think?

I like to have some idea of what the person looks like if I choose to respond.

RE: Love and hate

You're right of course, hate is a horrible word, emotion and is over used.

My previous post was perhaps not too clear. When I talk about feeling hate in a normally loving relationship I don't believe it is real hatred but we use this word for dissatisfaction, hurt feelings..... whatever.

I can honestly say I have never hated anybody in my life the same way I hate mayonnaise!

RE: Can a woman really forget?

Well that is very rude and something I would never do.....even if I was thinking it!

It could mean she isn't truly happy in your company having not let go of the past, perhaps trying to make you jealous, or simply that she is insensitive!

RE: Can a woman really forget?

I don't believe this is true unless you have not truly accepted and are happy with being single again.

A new partner is exactly that, new and exciting.

Of course things like a song or a familiar place, as you have mentioned, may trigger memories, but if you are ready to move on they should not have a negative bearing on a new relationship.

RE: Love and hate

I agree wholeheartedly that indifference is the real deal breaker in a relationship. This is when the erlationship is truly dead.

There is a fine line between love and hate I suppose. If you have strong feelings for somebody then love can so easily turn to 'hate', but IMO, momentarily unless something unforgiveable has happened.

RE: The Art of Female Lies

Ok my logic may be flawed to you Elley.

Perhaps those of us who haven't had to deal with hurtful, life changing lies and only little white lies are more forgiving.

RE: CHOCOLATE .. Which country makes the best?

Flake mmmmm! Now I'm remembering the old tv adverts for flakes, did you see them?

If you did, you'll understand why I won't get to sleep tonight either

RE: CHOCOLATE .. Which country makes the best?

Oh Smoky, there I was thinking I was missing out on the hidden delights of South African chocolate when all the time you were thinking of plain old Cadbury!

It's ok ignore my previous post I can get Cadbury here and in Spain

RE: Women and Turkey

I agree Jeff.

RE: Time travel

Not too far back in time, but the early fifties would be my choice.

My mum was a teenager in the fifties and I love looking at old photos of her dressed in suits and dresses which showed off her tiny waist, and gloves and hats....beautiful! I also grew up listening to all her old rock and roll records and remember her attempts at teaching me how to jive when I was a child.

RE: Women and Turkey

Nah, I just remembered when I lived in Turkey and meeting Iranian men who visited my Turkish friends from time to time.

None of them were ever accompanied by their wives.

RE: Would You Rather?

Live my life now.

Would you rather have a mortgage or pay rent?

RE: Women and Turkey

There are strong ties between the two countries and a cultural bond.

Maybe he is genuinely concerned?

RE: Would You Rather?

Tough choice I like both but I'll go for the holiday with the sea view.

Would you rather meet a first date in a bar or outside the cinema?

RE: When meeting a Lady/man on a first date, How would you greet them ?

Yep we do...twice

RE: CHOCOLATE .. Which country makes the best?

South African chocolate? I've never tried it Smoky, you must send me some!

I usually have a slab of dark chocolate in the fridge which lasts me for ages, but occasionally I get a craving for some milky, creamy chocolate.

Usually at that time of female insanity Mano referred to in another thread!

Hi Mano

RE: Is Beer good for you ?

The vomit emoticon is particularly offensive to me and I never use it womble.

RE: Is Beer good for you ?

It's a very old fashioned insult to a so called gentleman behaving badly.

Go ahead you can insult me more now.

RE: The perfect figure

No, I think Hootsie indirectly or unintentionally berated me for giving an over complicated response to his 'simple' question!

Recognisable to females only.

RE: Is Beer good for you ?

Likeminds.

RE: The perfect figure

Why thank you equally sweet LM!

RE: Dreams

Really?

I thought most people dream in colour, but often don't notice the colours in their dreams.

I remember reading that colour, being such a fundamental part of our visual experience, means that we often ignore it when we dream.

Also, we often forget our dreams very quickly when we wake up and when we try to rememberthem we do so in shades of grey.

Distinctly black and white dreams are thought to be a sign of depression by some.

RE: The perfect figure

Sorry Hootsie, I didn't think it was a simple question and I wrote what came into my head at the time of posting.

RE: Dreams

I should have added, black and white dreams are also a sign of indecisiveness so don't worry Mano, I'm sure you're not depressed

Apparently everybody dreams in colour but certain factors convince us that the dreams were in black and white. I don't know, this is just something I remember reading, it could be a load of codswallop!

RE: Dreams

Never, not even prescribed drugs.

Are you serious?

RE: Is Beer good for you ?

Oh I get it now. You insulted me you cad!

I hope you choke on your beer

RE: Is Beer good for you ?

A lot more what? beer? No thanks, my intake of red wine is more than sufficient!
