There are some really good people in chat and yet there are some crazy ones as well. It's like anything else you experience in your life. Yes, it does help if you can type fast but if you stick around and give it a chance you will get used to how it works. I've made wonderful friends in there.
You call it picky..I say we all have the right to not settle when it comes to finding a life partner. Two people have to start dating to know if they like each other enough to keep that dates going. If the women you are talking about don't want to keep dating you after a few dates then maybe you should look at yourself and not keep judging them. It takes awhile to know someone and realize whether or not this person is for you. If you're too cheap to pay for a movie or supper then maybe you could go on "dutch" dates. Maybe that's something that can work for you. We often invest time and money into things that don't work, it's called taking a risk.
I myself see nothing wrong with having a gun in one's possession as long as the person doing so is very responsible and would have the weapon locked up safely.
If I had children they would be educated in gun safety and respect but not use.
In this situation, as I don't have a gun, I would call 911 and then I would take out the baseball bat under my bed and go to my children's rooms as quietly as I could. No one really knows what to do in situations like this. Even though it's good to be prepared no one knows how she/he will react until they are put in that situation. All I know is if I had children I would do all I could to protect them.
It is often the case that when you meet someone you've been conversing with by any means such as online or in letters they can be totally different in person. It's happened to me and to people I know. I believe one can truly admire a person for who they are but I think to truly fall in love two people have to meet face to face. That is just my opinion of course.
What a person does for a living is a question that I ask early in the "getting to know him" stage. We all have our preferences, they make us who we are. It's not a bad thing to want a self supporting man with no children. If you went with that and it wasn't what you wanted you wouldn't be happy and therefore neither would your partner. It's good to be honest and straight forward.
I'm not one for muscles or 6 packs. Give me a man with a normal body or one with extra meat. I like my men kind of husky. I want something to really hold on to. :)
I'm also not a religious person yet I do celebrate Christmas. The holiday doesn't have to be commerialized if you don't let it. You can celebrate Christmas without going to Black Friday events or spending tons of money. I happen to like shopping for my family but I start doing it early so that I don't leave it all until the holidays. I think it's a great time of year. My favourite things about Christmas is visiting with friends and family, cooking, the tree and Christmas music..so you see..there are a lot of things to enjoy about Christmas. It's not all "spending money" to some people. Christmas comes from the heart..not the pocketbook. If you look at it that way then you too can enjoy the holidays.
When using one's heart we can't help who we fall in love with. It must be hurtful to love someone who doesn't love us back. It hasn't happened to me I'm thankful to say.
I have never suffered with depression but I have friends who have and I have seen what they go through. I have known people who have gone many routes to cure their depression. When depression is caused by a chemical imbalance then one is usually prescribed an antidepressant. There is a lot of stigma on depression and some people are embarrassed to say they are suffering through it or have. There is nothing to be ashamed about. It happens to a lot of people and more people are being diagnosed with it than ever. I like to find relaxation in things..I enjoy the small moments of life. I like to spend time with family/friends, meditate, read, spend time with my cat, walk and watch movies. I find a lot of solace in these things. Try to do something that you find fun. If you are finding that you do not experience fun or happiness in your life then do seek help. It can make all the difference.
I am not a judgemental person..Or at least I really try not to be because who am I to judge someone else. I'm not perfect. On CS I am more wary of people as there are a lot of scammers here, but other than that I like to give people a chance.
How can you put all women in the same category? What if I believed all men were players and users? I don't. I give a person the benefit of the doubt whether they be male or female. You sound like you've been hurt and now you've created negative feelings around women. I'm a happy woman. I have a wonderful life filled with family and friends whom I love. I'm not a user and I have always hated drama. I'm a positive person who wakes each day with a smile. You see, I don't fit in your category and I'm sure a lot of women don't.
If you're asking about appearance I like a man without a beard. The long hair is ok. I don't like moustaches at all. But that's me. It could be another woman's cup of tea. In a man I like one that isn't afraid to show emotion, doesn't feel weak when he cries, is romantic, loving, attentive, caring, faithful, trustworthy and honest. :)
I don't post a photo and that's my personal choice, although I do have a reason. I would like to hope that someone would take the chance on getting to know me not based on how I look. So much is hung up on appearance these days. Yes, I do agree there has to be some form of attraction but too much is based on it. I am more interested in a person's personality.
As for pot I've never tried it and never will..it's just not for me.
I can only give my opinion..I believe that Jesus existed and that he was a good and extraordinary man but I do not believe he is the son of God as I don't believe in God..
I think there are a lot of scammers and people playing headgames here..that's the problem with the site. There doesn't seem to be many people looking for anything longterm or serious. I know people who have found their life partner online and they are very happy. I've not been so lucky as of yet.
RE: Have you joined the chat room? Do you enjoy the banter - its like an Adrenalin Rush!
