You're only stating the obvious.... what for? Its already been said.
What's this "harping on" caper? I only posted once....... re-claim some control, will ya?!
Whatever your bug-bear is, don't direct it at me. You have a short memory and I have been supportive of you in the past. If you can't be gracious, just leave it be.
Jan is correct! Everything posted here has a record for all eternity, even when archived. We cannot be judged by our personalities here, but the behaviour we demonstrate openly.
On the whole, the inter-action is enjoyable but for some... yes, medication is clearly needed....!!
You are most enlightened, J. As I have come to realise and as the delightful and charming lady I met in Rome...?
Yes, we can glean the positive from even the most negative of circumstances. I have learned this,amongst many other things....
Example: Some time ago I divulged some most private and personal information to only 2 people, one woman (a dear friend on and off the site) and one man. My lady friend has been the ultimate in a friend and I couldn't wish for more support! However, the man..... I initially received a favourable response but, obviously, as time went on the reaction I got was less than I would've expected, considering we had corresponded a fair bit and I considered him a "friend". I have no idea as to whether my private affairs have been relayed to anyone else but it does, indeed, flag up my own gullibility and naivety. That said, I do believe the problem with being receptive to another's dilemma lies with him.....
Blimey!! Not very decisive, are you?! It sounds like a classic case of taking someone fore granted?
Human beings are often their own worst enemy, we behave like we are gonna live forever and treat others as though THEY are gonna live forever! If we stopped and realised we may be experiencing our last day on earth and those we love may be too.....??
Example: if someone you care for didn't make the next day, would you be happy with your parting words to have been less than caring/loving ones?
Maybe a little profound but, if nothing else, one thing I HAVE learned is to NOT take anything (as in ANYTHING) fore granted. I cherish every day I have and the man I now have those days with. Who knows when it may be taken away.....?
Perhaps re-think your stance on things in life and what is truly important to you?
Just a thought.....
Best of luck for a better and brighter future, love....
My intention was not to get embroilled in a religious debate. I simply demonstrated ONE perspective of the topic which I explained and I thought was clear. I apologise if there was lack of clarity and my "tongue-in-cheek" approach was not appreciated. I will, therefore, leave the serious religious discussion to others.
That said, I am perplexed at it descending (yet again!) into arguing the toss back and forth as to which "God" is better than the other?!
You will note that I did not resort to the name-calling of anyone's "God". I am not particularly religious but I find it most unsavoury that it seems there needs to be a competition?!
Inflexibility and intolerance has been done time and (tiresomely) time again......
I can certainly say he had some valid points to make. That's not to say I whole-heartedly agreed with him, nor would I claim he was my role model. The quote was simply ONE take on the subject....
I have the ability, as many do, to be able to see more than just one perspective.
That is largely due, thankfully, to my being in the fortunate position of having the freedom to exercise Independence of Thought without having to succumb to anyone's else dictate..... something I cherish more than anything!
"..... Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
You DON'T suck at this. A week?!!! Jeez, have a little patience, will ya?!
I had been here over 3 years. Now I HAVE met someone. It won't happen overnight and unrealistic expectations will invariably lead to disappointment. Just enjoy yourself on the Forums and.....
Blimey!! Have you only just noticed when the mysoginists come out of the woodwork, G?!
One can even forecast which threads they will post to and almost word-for-word what the post will say..... And with tiresome predictability, they oblige.... almost without exception!!
It still puzzles me as to why they would want to be on a dating site...?!
The only reasons I can think of are:
1. They just want to vent their spleen at every woman on the planet? 2. They are actually here for the men? Dunno what else it could be.....
One thing is clear. The question has been asked time and again and still not one has had the balls to explain...
Yes, a strategist!! Had just 2 months with one shortly before last Xmas.... NO, No, No!! Besides, I work with the immensely strategic types all day long and that's MORE than enough, thank you!
RE: What can I learn from this?
Just how long a pole would you suggest?!
