I would think there are more than a few women who live in Greece. Don't have to find them via this site necessarily...this is a fun place and, so, if nothing else, you can meet a lot of great people.
I like guys just slightly taller. I don't like really tall and I don't like shorter than me, but I've dated both taller and shorter. It's not mandatory that the guy I end up with be a certain height. I'm not talking preferences here, I'm talking requirements. So, is that a requirement of yours?
You're welcome, but I feel compelled to ask, in light of your "I am a little choose about her body type," do you have the same/similar body type as the woman you seek?
Do you have certain traits or "requirements" that you expect from your mate that you cannot measure up to yourself?
For instance, if you're overweight, do you expect someone with a model-perfect body?
Or, say if you're average-looking, do you demand no less than Mr. GQ stud or Ms. Barbie Doll?
Do you expect someone to be the perfect homemaker if you don't have the same domestic proclivities?
Or, do you expect him to do all the yardwork just because he's "a man?"
Do you think that you're a Super Stud and, even though your hair and belly is screaming "I'm really in my 40s or 50s!" that many 20- or 30-year old women are going to give you the time of day? (Unless, of course, you buy them the watch, some of them).
Naturally we don't want someone to be a carbon copy of us, but sometimes I wonder if a lot of people don't set their standards too high.
My oldest brother was one of those people. Had to have a pretty to beautiful, thin, athletic, yada yada yada...girl young enough to have kids.
He spent 25 years in the Navy and didn't really have a chance to get involved in a LTR very much. But when he got out, he had all this ridiculous criteria. And he ended up staying single until he "got real" about the whole situation and finally, at age 50, married for the first time to his best friend's sister, who was 49, and not exactly a glamour model. But they love each other, though, and seem happy together. I guess he finally came to his senses and realized that not all that glitters is gold...
I said I see it on the internet quite often, but I've never heard it used in "real life" before. I see it used by Americans on American sites; not just Europeans. No biggie.
What are some words or phrases that just bug the crap outta you?
I have several, but one that comes to mind is the "word" erm...has anyone actually ever HEARD anyone using that? "Erm???" Isn't it "bupposed" to be "umm?"
hmmm..I think maybe on a Mad TV skit...other than that...nope, can't say I have. Like scraping nails on a blackboard, it is.
Oh, yeah, and while we're at it, using "hum" for "hmmm" or "um"." How many people have you heard preface a verbal thought with the actual word "hum?" Not me, not ever.
In childhood? Hmm, nothing too traumatic. Broke my left arm (radius) in the fifth grade. Tripped over a lawn sprinkler while rollerskating and fell on it the wrong way.
Stepped on a rusty, dirty nail at Girl Scout Camp when I was in the seventh grade and had to have a tetanus shot.
That's about it, other than minor scrapes and bruises. Had some other, more serious, injuries when I was an adult, but nothing life-threatening.
Whoa..hold on there, Skippette...who put the idea of physical violence in your head? The question was, what do you do when faced with things that make you uncomfortable; it said nothing whatsoever about a human being. I've never hit another person in my entire life. Nor would I. I'm incapable of being physically violent. Please read with clarity before going off making assumptions about a person's intent behind their posts. Sheesh!
Six years is nothing if you find the person whom God created especially for you. Don't get me wrong; I certainly wasn't dateless in all that time. But, by choice, in those 6.5 years I've only been out with eight guys (including the guy I am with now). I've had hundreds of other offers from local guys and countless offers from not-so-local guys. But ...I wasn't looking for just "someone to date;" I was looking for "HIM," and I do believe he's finally arrived.
Took me six and a half years, though, and it's still not entirely a "sure thing," but looking better every day. You have to have the patience of Job, sometimes, but perseverence wins out in the end. I am a firm believer in Ecclesiastes 3:1, which states:
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
The dishwasher not being loaded properly. Ice cube trays being emptied but not filled. TP being put on the roll with the paper going under, not over. (OMG, what WERE they thinking?) hehe
Off topic: as to your two recent emails, I don't have the first clue to what it is you're referring, but I'm sure not going to waste my time trying to figure it out. Have a nice day.
Any woman/girl who would come right out and state they wanted to be abused, to be commanded what to do, to brag about bruises as if they were a badge of honor is NOT representative of much of the female species at all. She clearly has extreme mental issues.
