RE: Who is better in hiding secrets?

I think it depends on the nature of the matter to be kept secret.

From the foregoing, it would appear as if men add inches to their height while women take away from their weight?

I thought so. Why say you are who you are not, as if the truth will never come out? If you are heavyset and they didn't like you for it, they will not like you when you eventually meet! Just say it the way it and let them accept you for who you are. That man lost a potentially great relationship just like that.

I wonder how that made you feel? Did it matter to you, as in, would you consider it a deal breaker?

That raises another question of how much importance one should place on profile content. We are at a point now where we believe everyone/most people lie on their profile. And I'm thinking, why do it? Can you build something on nothing?

And one for which I have no answer. See?

RE: Twerking

You will be surprised what sells on the Internet. Do a video on how to get out of debt, repair your car or do better at math. No one watches. Twerk and you are in 6 figures.

Any woman is free to start a similar topic and turn around the question, if they are also seeking similar knowledge. I am only speaking for ME, not even all men. See?

Is that what it takes to be "voluptuous"?

BTW, man, you need to change your password ASAP before she sends mails to your potential mates in your name. You know that ain't gonna be pretty.

Profile Description

You can only describe yourself the way you deem fit/comfortable. A man that is not in your life does not have the right to tell you how to describe yourself. People are always entitled to their opinions anyway. Pleasing them is an impossible task.

Profile Description

From Skinny to Disabled, there are choices to be made in describing one's body structure on here. Most women will downplay their size (smart men know better than to give a weight scale to their significant other as birthday present). Not expecting too many women to say they are Large, Big and beautiful or Voluptuous. As a matter of fact, I am also yet to come across any profile where a woman described herself as Husky or stocky. So, when a woman describes herself as "curvy", "full figured" or "few extra pounds", what is she saying? If we interpret "curvy" as kinda "figure 8" physique, what is "full figured"? Is that like a few extra pounds?

This is just an academic exercise because at the end of the day, one man's meat is another man's poison.

RE: What men are looking for?!

For most men (and some women), relationships start from what the visible. If it not too "pleasing" to the eyes, the heart may not even go there.

RE: Should I give up?

My sentiments exactly. Plus the lady said she is here for the forums only. What part of that is not clear?

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

How do you describe your relationship with her? Some mothers are really very close to their daughters especially at that age, to the point you think they are friends. Some, not so much. They can't stand each other. No matter what it is though, you owe her an explanation of the truth as you have seen it. Let her know your position and WHY. If she understands and agrees with you, great. If not, you have done what you can do. Follow her up in prayers if you are the praying type. Like someone else mentioned, God forbid your fear comes to light, you never can say "I told you". You know that already. Perfection does not come in never falling, but standing up after each fall. All the best.

RE: don't give your email

My blog has a longer version of how to date safely online.

RE: don't give your email

Then how do you contact potential suitors? This thing about not giving out your email address sounds to me like throwing away the baby with the bath water. I have no problem giving out mine.

As some have already suggested, there are a few things you can do to protect yourself online, but the first thing you need to be reminded of is, no one can jump out of your computer because you communicated with them there.

1. Email addresses are a dime a dozen these days. Create one at will for handing out to strangers. For this, I recommend Gmail.

2. Most email clients have filters and spam blockers that puts you in control of what mails you see. You get a mail from someone you don't want to communicate with anymore, block them; filter future mails into the trash bin. You are in control.

Most people are here to meet someone. Don't make it unnecessarily hard. The things that can endanger you are the kind of information you share with strangers, like sensitive personal information. As for giving out your email, you cannot make omelets without breaking the egg.

Canadian Man and Woman With Ex-Girlfriend's Name Return From 'Life-Changing' Global Trip

Good Morning America


Jordan Axani, of Toronto, Canada, and the woman with his former girlfriend's name returned this week from their whirlwind trip around the world, which he called "a life changing experience."

After buying the tickets before he and Elizabeth Gallagher split, the real estate developer last month offered his ex's plane tickets for free to a woman who had to be named Elizabeth Gallagher.

He received thousands of emails and finally chose Elizabeth Quinn Gallagher of Nova Scotia, Canada, so the ticket, worth thousands of dollars, wouldn't go to waste.

Toronto Man Jordan Axani Offers Around-the-World Plane Ticket for Woman With Ex-Girlfriend's Name

In three weeks, the pair traveled to Milan, Vienna, Prague, Paris, southern Thailand, Bangkok then Delhi, India, and an unexpected stop in Hong Kong due to visa complications before returning to North America on Jan. 12.

“While traveling with a complete stranger may seem like an odd idea to many, Quinn and I had an incredible experience on our trip around the world," Axani told ABC News. "From Prague to Paris to Hong Kong, we learned so much from the different cultures and the incredible people we met along the way. We both felt so lucky to have had such a life changing experience."

The two also survived a lost iPhone and missed train.


Marriott agreed to be the charity's travel partner and housed the pair in separate rooms. Gallagher, a recent graduate of St. Francis Xavier University, has a "serious" boyfriend, she said.

The pair posted photos on Twitter and Instagram of their travels, including from the world's highest open air bar Sky Bar in Bangkok.

"At the most terrifying bar in the world, Sky Bar, as featured in The Hangover Pt. II," Axani posted on Instagram.

Upon her return to Nova Scotia on Wednesday, Gallagher tweeted a photo with her dog, saying: "Home sweet home in good ol Nova Scotia! Still can't believe this whirl wind world trip is over!"

She resumed her classes that day at Dalhousie University.

The two say there wasn't any romance on the trip, (my emphasis) but they plan to stay in touch. A headline in the Toronto Star read, "Elizabeth Gallagher back in boyfriend’s arms after round-the-world trip."

Before the trip, Axani founded the charity in California that is helping "underprivileged and at-risk" people travel. A Ticket Forward invites the public to donate through CrowdRise.com.

Today, he traveled to San Francisco to attend the entrepreneurial Hive Global Leaders Program.

Axani said he believes travel shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the few but a "rite of passage" for everyone, so he launched #TheWorldAwaits travel sweepstakes. The fundraising contest will reward one lucky fundraiser and a friend with a trip around the world.

So true. You cannot remove your eyes because you don't want to see a bad person.

RE: The Stress of looking for love

RE: Why do younger men chase after older women here?

Maybe because age is just a number? Some women don't mind younger men. I think you did the right thing. You don't feel them, you ignore them.

Thanks.

RE: Define romance ...when does your heart skip?

Romance is meeting that special someone, knowing it, acting on it and having the gesture reciprocated.

Heart skipping? Isn't that a dangerous thing?
