RE: Falling in love (and age)

I have a feeling that falling in love in in reality is for the young, I experienced it fortunately and happily for many years with the same man, but I am sure that in later years it is more about compatibility and not wanting to be alone in old age.

RE: If you were able to

I forgot Poland.

RE: If you were able to

Well, as an English woman I have been extremely fortunate for the past 19 years of my life to have lived and worked in Turkey, Portugal, Italy, Russia and finally Spain, where I now have lived for 10 years. I have fabulous memories and friends from my periods abroad, Spain in particular, but my heart of course is still in England, who knows what my future holds.

RE: What do Men/Women look for these days in a relationship

I have been single for many years after having a long marriage and two fabulous children I did a silly thing , forgave and remarried my ex husband, we both thought it was a good idea at the time ,but as someone advised me , which I did not heed,.....you cannot reheat a cold cup of coffee...... so true.

I am very happy being single only until I feel lousy with flu for example and nobody brings me a cup of something, or when I think about the consequences of an accident being alone in my home. In reality I suppose anyone can be alone if they suffer a heart attack regardless as to whether they have a family living with them.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

I'm going to bed , but I just want to say that most of you lot are so pretentious and unforgiving. Good grief, you are all on a bloody dating site so that says something doesn't it? My two kids in their thirties have never had the need to be on a dating site so you young ones I really cannot take seriously here. I too dislike being here and feel rather embarrassed about it which is why I go for months sometimes years without logging in. Nobody other than my mother, my closest friend and mybdaughter know I belong to a dating site, and they all think I'm crazy for being here!

However, the point is that a very young woman posts a thread here and you all, or most of you, don't give any help other than advice to lose weight (from some who aren't super skinny either!) and criticism for being overweight.

Don't you know that some of you are flirting with alcoholics and druggies here? I can see lots of them, mal e and female. I've been here a long long time! Someone carrying a bit of excess weight is far less worrying for me and deserves a little slack.

Get out of here! Hey I like your profile pic with glasses though.

Are we being watched and followed?

Me too Jim. Facebook is the pits at times. However, I see photos of my kids who live abroad, folk I met years ago who want to keep in touch, and my work related stuff. It's difficult but I'm seriously thinking of deleting my FB and Twitter accounts.

Are we being watched and followed?

Oh I'm sorry but I just have to say first that Pom Pom has made me laugh so much in this thread. She is such a gem! Back to your post though, I agree. I'm on facebook but I loathe it. I have friends , family and work on facebook, but it is seriously invading.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Ah well, without correcting your poorly written post here I think you have shown your true colours to those who wish to see. Reread it tomorrow perhaps.

I never harp on about being a teacher unless folk ask. I rarely feel the need to correct grammar either here on CS much as I would like.

Your post here is extremely rude in my opinion, and shows you in a completely different light than you portray here. I sincerely hope there are some who are willing or able to see the duplicity. Not many sadly, although I suspect some men yes, as you have cast your false spell on the women here. Not me and that's why you don't like me.

RE: after haow many dates should you sleep together?

You are such a wimp! This is not the first time I 've read that you don't initiate communication with a woman.

What are you so afraid of man?

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

But you totally missed the point that the OP is a very young girl. I really don't care what you find attractive, but what the OP needed was none of that crap you spouted.

You do not think laterally.

RE: after haow many dates should you sleep together?

ñ

With body shots?

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Ok you pissed me off earlier but now you've won me over! Yes it's almost dawn here and I'm here on a Satutday night because I've been working.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Oh I am according to the threads and posts here.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

I'm not being politically correct at all. You say you are a gentleman but you post this response to me and the OP?

Very few men like plus size women? How do you know that? Regardless of the fact that men may or may may not prefer thin women, you have shown your true colours here. This is a young woman, young enough to be your daughter, perhaps even grandaughter, I have no idea of your age, 60 plus? yet you cannot be understanding enough to know that this young girl is clearly hurting.

I doubt that your personal preferences would hurt the OP anyway , you're way outside her age range.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Men still like me surprisingly enough despite being old, (not ugly!) don't need a blog.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Oh you're biased.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Rebel, slim means slim whatever the dress size in different countries, don't try to dress it up! I wasn't getting at you but trying to respond to the poster who was bleating on about exercise and how men didn't go for plus size women. She picked up on your post first.

If you or other men prefer slim women then say so honestly on the forums rather than only on your profiles. I simply felt for a very young woman who is clearly having a hard time emotionally and this seems to be a recurring thread recently with young twenty something women. It makes me very sad.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Rebel makes it clear in his profile he is seeking a slim woman. This does not equate with making sense however much you try to make it so.

You are a woman in your late forties, you are not a size 8 in UK terms at least, I would say you are a size 14 to 16 UK terms. That's a regular size nowadays, not obese, but most certainly not skinny or slim. The OP is a girl in her twenties, she may be overweight medically speaking, but she is young and pretty, something you and I no longer can purport to be. Be positive for her for goodness sake.

RE: White Christian male

Soonergal, I'm not religious and don't usually participate in the religious threads. However, in fairness to PomPom, you did come on quite strongly in your first thread and I understand why folk were completely put off, including myself, so I chose not to post.

Here on CS if folk have really strong feelings about something and have the courage to say so they will almost certainly get a hard time. I'm not saying anyone should deny their feelings or opinions, but sometimes it's best to seek out friends who have similar feelings behind the scenes. The forums are a cruel world at times!

Do you know how incredibly difficult it is for me to read poorly written posts, in terms of grammar and vocabulary, made by native speakers of English as an English teacher? I learnt my lesson years ago, ignore and participate without prejudice.

RE: White Christian male

Why do you think it's a crime? We need your thoughts too in order to respond objectively.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Hi Jim

And you know her profile is so sweet.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Perhaps you're right, or perhaps many men prefer blondes rather than brunettes, or 50 somethings instead of 30 somethings, or women without children rather than with. Can't you see that that the OP is a young girl who clearly doesn't realise how pretty she is and how she probably has far more chance of finding love than we miserable and disillusioned middle aged members? Can't you be a little positive?

RE: How can one be happy!!!

Ro, thats easypeasy for you now, though I realise how difficult it must have been before. I think a general feeling of depression or unhappiness is so much more difficult to fight and overcome because the reason or reasons behind it are not so clear as in your case.

Hi you!

RE: brrrrrrr......

Oh you poor thing, I don't envy you. Keep warm!

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

Kenn I agree it's a touchy subject, but one can be honest in a polite way surely, particularly when the question is being posed by such a young girl.

She obviously knows that many men are not interested in plus size girls, based at least on her own experience, so all she needs is a little reassurance, certainly not taunts about her weight and advice to lose it from both men and women here sadly. The OP probably knows more than most about how to lose weight being a plus size, that kind of advice is not what she is seeking here.

RE: do any guys like plus size women anymore

People are insensitive at times. The OP is very young.

Are we being watched and followed?

Because they love me? Seriously I have no idea, very strange.

RE: How can one be happy!!!

I find my work negates any low feelings I have from time to time. Perhaps that's just because I'm lucky enough to adore my work.

My friends too are extremely important, and by keeping in regular contact and socialising there is no time to feel as you seemingly do.

Do you work? Do you have close friends? These things are the key to happiness in my life, though I would like to have a partner to share them with. If that doesn't happen I will still maintain a happy and fruitful life I'm sure. Be positive, it makes a hell of a difference, really!
