RE: Gentlemens Clubs

I don´t think they should be called gentlemen´s clubs, look up the word gentleman in the dictionary. However, if men choose to haunt such places that´s their choice, and as John said, they can be a source of harmless fun on stag nights. Women also have similar fun on hen parties.

Incidentally they are called "nightclubs" here in Spain. There is one quite near to where I live, and I have to say that when I´m walking past there during the day sometimes, the men who I´ve noticed entering, are middle-aged or older, seedy looking types, often with their hands in their pockets!

RE: What is hunting for you?

I liked that!

I think this thread is getting rather heated and a little ridiculous....but then don´t most here in the end?

My personal stance is that killing animals for sport is wrong. I´m not vegetarian, but I only eat organic food, some meat and fish included. It may seem silly to some, but there are animals I just cannot eat like rabbits, deer....well it´s easier to tell you that I can only eat chicken, turkey and minced beef, but only if I know it is free range, and killed compassionately, if there is such a thing.

I also cannot cook anything which still resembles its original living state. The thought of killing any animal, skinning, and gutting it makes me feel sick. My butcher is very kind, but thinks I´m a crazy English woman for requesting everything prepared for cooking, and averting my eyes at the rabbits and brains etc etc.

Netterman will still be horrified that there is such meat on my table but I really do care about animals, hence my careful choices of what to buy and eat, and my concerns about the prevalent cruelty in rearing animals for food, particularly veal. However, he is very wrong to suggest that we are the devil incarnate for choosing not to be vegan as he is, or vegetarian.

RE: 38 Year Old Lady and 30 Year Old Man...Compatible?

Well it doesn´t seem such a big difference at all.....at this point in time. Fast forward to say 48 and 56, then a whole new scenario takes place.

There aren´t many men on this site in their late forties looking for women in their late fifties as far as I´ve noticed.

RE: Check out this guy driving a fork lift in a Vodka warehouse in Russia.

Trust you!

Here´s a true story that was doing the rounds when I was there...

It’s time to lay off the drinking when…

...you fall into a cement mixer!!

A drunk Russian woman had to be pulled out of a newly-laid road after she fell into a concrete mixer and then into a pool of drying asphalt.

Elena Pavlovna, 43, had been walking home after a lunchtime session with pals in the town of Kemerovo. She saw her path was blocked by machinery left by workers who were taking a break from resurfacing a road and tried to step over the machinery, but she slipped and fell into a concrete mixer which had been left on, and after a few minutes of being twirled around inside with the concrete mix she was “poured” out onto a pool of asphalt.

A rescue service spokesman said: “‘Despite the fact that only part of her mouth was out in the open she did not shut up and kept on telling us what we should be doing. It was really annoying.”

Apparently the “ladies who lunch” aren’t doing much eating.

RE: Check out this guy driving a fork lift in a Vodka warehouse in Russia.

Maybe he´d sneaked a nip or two before getting into the drivers seat. There have been lots of drink related accidents like this in Russia, though Health and Safety regulations are slowly being adhered to.

The Russian Plant I teach in sometimes belongs to an International company, so H & S is a priority on the job. Even I have to wear a hard hat and boots when walking around from class to class!

I did choose a nice red one though. .

RE: What do You consider the Most Feminine Compliment a Female can Possess ?

Well there is another thread floating around about men being visual creatures.

What a shame this list confirms that, for the OP anyway.

RE: What are you doing right now?

Have a good one Elley!

I´m working at home on various "teacher" things this evening....or supposed to be.

RE: Life in a bubble....

What´s living in a bubble? Feeling protected and cosseted? If so, that stops for most people when they reach adulthood and start fending for themselves doesn´t it? You´re lucky if you stayed inside your bubble until 40!

We encourage our young to burst their bubbles, be independent, (well not so much here in Spain) and go out into the big bad world.

That´s a good thing I believe.

Remember that old tv programme The Prisoner?

RE: For our Jan

You´re not the first to say that Imma.

We share the same round face and snub nose, but I think my nose is nicer!

I love that film, and the song too btw!

RE: do you ever worry about ending up alone in life?

Not at all, but I do sometimes think about something happening health wise and nobody is here to call an ambulance or resuscitate me!

I´m sure there must be many people living alone who have suffered a heart attack for example, and died because nobody was around to help.

RE: A CS member is releasing an album

How rude we are talking about scousedon in his absence! However, I agree with GG, and I´m sure scousedon won´t mind...at least I hope not!

Most of the pics here look quite different when viewed on the profile, mine included.

RE: A CS member is releasing an album

Not at all. I didn´t criticise your pics, or accuse you of being dishonest as you did. I simply pointed out that forum pics are often not the same when viewed on the profile and it is unfair to make personal comments.

Can´t you see the difference?

RE: A CS member is releasing an album

That´s not the point though is it. I was trying to say that people often jump in with mean personal comments, and in this particular case I felt they were unjustified.

Lots of people look 10 or even 20 years younger, and much more attractive on these tiny forum pics, but when you actually look at the same pic in closeup on the profile it´s completely different.

RE: What do you want in a relationship?

That´s important for me too.

RE: A CS member is releasing an album

That´s not fair at all.

The pic when viewed on the profile is not as boyish as it appears on small forum scale (sorry scouse, don´t mean to offend)and there is another pic on the profile.

Geeze, some people are so mean, and get downright personal for no reason here sometimes!

RE: do you believe in u.fo.'s and aliens?

I did.

RE: do you believe in u.fo.'s and aliens?

A resounding no from me.

RE: How Are Your Manners?

I think so too, my result was the same!

RE: Unconditional Love

I don´t believe it exists in its perfect and pure form, unless, as has already been said, we are talking about the love for our children or perhaps other family members.

Unconditional love means the permanent acceptance of all faults, and to have no unrealistic expectations of ones partner. If it were so easy why are so many people here on a dating site, divorced, separated, and single?

Thats not to say we cannot be happy with the watered down version as most of us experience or have experienced.

I received, and gave unconditional love as a teenager when I started to date, (youthful ideals) and when I met my ex husband at a very young age. However this pales somewhat after living with someone for a long period of time. I say that not in a negative way, but to highlight the fact that it is a normal occurrence for two people who choose to live together, and that unconditional love usually cannot stand the test of time.

I prefer not to be put on a pedestal and having to live my life trying not to fall off it!

RE: Halloween Costumes

Thanks, she is doing ok.

Only one man Ambrose, and I met him in real life. He´s a doctor so his mum is sleeping soundly tonight.

He can look after me tomorrow, poor man!

RE: Songs for your mood right now (part 5) :-)

RE: Halloween Costumes

I´m in my pyjamas feeling under the weather. My man is sleeping over at the hospital looking after his mum who´s had an operation (custom in Spain, relatives take it in turns to sleep over).

Actually if I did go out looking like I do now I´d probably scare the pants off people!

RE: 24 Year old Girl 42 Year old man?

Ok, and as you did quote me in the end, I actually meant that a really wide age difference does not, in my experience or opinion lead to longevity in a relationship.

Yes of course there are no guarantees in any relationship, but big age differences simply serve to magnify any problems.

I had problems occasionally with my ex husband during our twenty odd years together and he is only 9 years older!

RE: Songs for your mood right now (part 5) :-)

RE: Songs for your mood right now (part 5) :-)

I LOVE that song, it always makes me a bit nostalgic for some reason.

As does this one.

RE: Songs for your mood right now (part 5) :-)

RE: Songs for your mood right now (part 5) :-)

RE: Songs for your mood right now (part 5) :-)

I like the song but didn´t like the video. I really dislke those youtube home made videos!!

Here´s an old 80´s fave of mine which is on my mind now.

RE: Do you desire someone....

No. I´m happy enough in my relationship. However, there are two relative newbies here who are interesting. In a harmless way of course.

RE: STOP BEING A WIMP! ASK GIRLS OUT ON DATES!

So how lucky have YOU been adopting this strategy? You are on a dating site after all.
