yes indeed...it is known that your ability to learn improves when the brain is stimulated so more education would be advised for the 'intellectually challenged'. Besides, if you examine many people that have impacted on the world in a positive way..it is not just academic inowledge but also their mental stability and emotionsl intelligence that also counted. Open University gives bursaries, by the way.
ha ha - well said on the ego part - it's sooo true!!!!
By the way, I'm not looking for advice here - some people seem to think I am - nope - just interested in people's opinions, experiences and ideas because of what I have experienced with the on-line dating world.
well, I can cook just enough to keep someone alive but not to boast about but....I've always wanted to have someone who would be willing to come into the kitchen and we could cook something up together - !!!
I'm not in a relationship!!! Sorry, for the typo or lack of clarity - if I was I would have that on my profile.
..and this is just a scenario for to get people's thoughts - what you say won't impact on how I think or behave as for myself, I do not do long distance unless the man is working away on a contract and intends to come back here and I make this clear when I talk to people - I used to have it written on my profile but it was just ignored!!!!!
The age thing also, I only date people close to my own age and I also tell them that - again, this was clear on my profile but it was ignored so now I just tell people when they contact me. not about me.
The reason I put up the scenario is that I was just wondering what people's opinions were out there.
Here is the scenario (This is not necessarily my opinion but I do wonder....)...
1. If, I am with a 40 year old man now (I get a few invitations that say they are sincere hmmmm...) so in 15 years time when I am a 70 year old woman?
Distance....I'm in London...lets say you are in New Zealand, USA or Russia or SA etc etc... we talk on Skype for 3 months we like each other and click on many levels, we form an attachment of some sort on a deeper level; who do you think one might expect to move home?
After only a few weeks, I have learnt, it would be very foolish to pin one's romantic dreams and goals on this site. Nontheless, I remain open to love but suspicious of most of the inbox contacts and have also received one abusive contact when I refused to meet him because he was too young - euggh.
I believe enough in human nature to still know there are some great people here because it stands to reason if I am genuine and sincere I cannot surely be the only person here that is !!!!
So, also I am quite clear even here if I find a guy I think is cute, nice personality, intelligent and in the same country or so on - I'm definitely still looking.... I intend to live till I am 116 therefore I have a good 50+ years of my life to live, love, give and laugh. So any of you gorgeous old 50 year olds ish - have the same Idea come to London and visit me.....lol...I'm a reallie!!
date messages - I mean messages in our in-boxes as most of my contacts are way too young or sounding very unreal - here seems a little more down to earth to me""!!

Anyone think the threads are more fun than the date messages? Do you think this is where the 'real' people hang out? are we all alone hereeee just the few of us???!!!

Ah yes, why not, life is short we may as well love people and the good thing is after having your heart broken a couple of times, somehow, it never hurts as much again!!!! the trick is not to allow yourself to be bitter or dwell on the pain - you realise they were just part of your journey to learn from and become stronger I'd kinda like to stop learning now though and manifest a love that is lasting - !!!
That's a pity but I think also you are probably right as most of the people that seem like 'real' people are the ones that comment on the forums - having said that I have spoken to a couple who are real but mostly are fake... The worst are the ones that say they are a General or other decorated military person that use a real photo from military web sites - but can't put two words of English together.
One or two guys from the USA and SA I am still talking to but am certain they are fake but not sure as they sound like they just might be real -it's hard to know but they can't bite me all the way over here and if they are fake they will get fed up after a while anyhow!!!! lol - no harm done - I type fast so they are not wasting much of my time!!!
Shame though - as some people really are nice and genuine !!! thanks for the replies
Well, I think most people are on here because they are interested in meeting someone. Trouble is sometimes you realise when you start a conversation that you would probably be ok as friends but not as potential partners - but that's fine - it's still nice to connect with people and hear their comments etc - I like the forums - they are fun when you need a break from work etc.!!! I started off with serious intent but now realise it's better to just relax and have no expectations!!!

Well, it's better than I expected and at least it shows some people are fun and not all are total fakes, liars or have an agenda !!! I guess this old girl will just keep on looking then and who knows........................
Keep your stories coming , they are interesting and gives hope whilst keeping our feet on the ground!!!!
Interesting...does it depend on the culture or the person? I accidently came upon this as I am in England but am Irish (ok a bit of a mix) my male friends often comment on my female friends and I am always happy that they think my friends are attractive. Equally, if I say a man is very handsome I don't expect a person that is secure in him/herself to be offended or how it is inappropriate. Of course, if the comment is said in a manner that is disrespectful that is different or if they go on and on and on then I think perhaps that could be a little disrespectful. Anyhow - just my thoughts.
