Would judge you? Exactly what do you mean by "judge" you? Do you mean to say, if someone believes your biggest secrets to be contradictory to their own moral beliefs, they should sit back and keep their mouths shut about it? Are you, like most people, it would appear from reading a large number of opinions on the subject, living in a fantasy world where practically nothing one can do is considered "wrong" anymore?
To answer your question, hell, yes, I'd "judge" you, just like I'd judge anyone else's behavior that I found distasteful and contradictory to my own morals. Such is life.
Anyone who says they don't make judgments every single day of their lives, with regard to one thing or another, is either a liar or a sociopath, IMHO.
It would seem to me if there was a true "spin" on it, he would not have cited a range; he would have given the higher figure. Be that as it may, I agree with him: what difference does it make if the number is 20K or 40K?
Also, what is wrong with him giving an admonition to vote in favor of his political party?
You certainly have the right to rebut with your own "spin," should you so desire.
I don't know what is accurate and what is inaccurate information. But you purport to know what is and what isn't, so how 'bout sharing some statistics and sources of your own, explaining why your particular sources are "verifiable"?
It's a given that anything can happen to anyone at any time in any given situation; however, one should employ at least a modicum of common sense. Some people just refuse to see the red flags and sometimes that results in unfortunate tragedy.
Actually, I HATE dates that turn into interviews. When Paul and I had our first date we went to the movies. And who says you can't communicate in the movies? Oh, hell yes, you can! We had talked for hours and hours for the three days prior to our date, getting to know each other. On our second date, we went to brunch. We didn't do a lot of talking then, cuz it's hard to talk with your mouth full.
And then we went to the park. We didn't really "interview" each other, but we shared "war stories" and got to know each other even more. Of course, all the talking was interspersed with "suck-facing," too. That's a good way to get to know someone as well. hehehe
But, to me, the WORST first date imaginable is a dinner/lunch/coffee date. What a potentially totally uncomfortable situation. My .02.
I thought it was pretty cool when I was 35 and my daughter was 18, we both bought a pack of cigarettes and I got carded and she didn't. She protested, "But she's my MOM!" We both got a huge laugh outta that one.
I'll never understand why anyone would think that having material possessions makes someone better than anyone else, but there are certainly people who do think that way.
It was all wet out here tonight from rain we had earlier...porch light doesn't work..so we didn't get any T-o-T'ers...aww, too bad. All this candy and what to do with it? hehehe
Most people know the answer to "why do men lie?" Hmmm...I sure don't, and I'm a very intelligent person.
And, sure, the statement "men lie" lies within the question, but the question still remains...unanswered.
I'm sure men lie for different "reasons," but I surmise there is an underlying common denominator and I believe that is, as another poster had pointed out, insecurity.
That may well be, but I don't think they're ready to spot-target someone's temple with an infrared laser based soley on one-liner nonsense spoken on a dating site.
