I think we've all been there at some point. No, once you hit send, it's gone. It would be possible if you had your own webserver, but methinks you don't. All that's left is to send another and apologize
The under 25 are unlikely to hang out here. My son's 26 and he's not on any dating site and neither are his friends, so just judging based on that, you know.
ps.. I wouldn't be looking in Cali either, esp. SoCal.. different world.
Now I may be wrong here, but isn't it so that in most cases people come back from the real date and say: oop, no chemistry? I think many confuse chemistry with infatuation. Infatuation happens in an instant, but chemistry is about combining molecules and such
Give it a try, you might surprise yourself All it takes is a willingness to give that 3D version a chance to show that side of himself that you liked so much already
Interesting ! I think you have to spend a few days with the person in order for your brain to connect the dots, so to speak. You have to get used to the person in real life (the 3D, crisp, life-size version) and connect what that person said in the past with that new image. So the chemistry might still be there, but not immediately. You have to sort of rediscover it.
I met my husband (now ex) at work , but that was a long time ago and he didn't work in the same office, but a building down the street. Still, a romance in the same office - no way. That has trouble written all over it, never mind love.
I saw a film once on a joint int'l science project where they discovered that chimps basically act and learn like humans in every respect. They even displayed "moral" behavior like revenge, tolerance, etc. The only thing that distinguished them from us is that while they can learn, they do not pass on their knowledge to their young. They don't teach their offspring what they have learned, where as we do.
I think our entire society is based on lies. We just don't call it lies. We call it advertising, putting your best foot forward, self-promotion, marketing, being competitive, personal growth, PR, etc.
If you're honest when everyone else lies, you inevitably end up with the short end of the stick. Self-promotion is an American virtue. That's how we roll here... heck, it's even evident in how we build houses... they have a glossy front and the sides and back look like dog huts.
Why do people pretend to be something they're not? Because that is what we are. (most of us, at least). Have you ever been to Los Angeles?
"The Great Ape Project is campaigning to have the United Nations endorse a Declaration on Great Apes. This would extend what the project calls the "community of equals" to include chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans. The declaration seeks to extend to non-human great apes the protection of three basic interests: the right to life, the protection of individual liberty, and the prohibition of torture."
(I suppose that would mean we can't harm congress and the senate )
If this were adopted, monkeys would have personhood status and by extension their lobbies. It would affect medical research and quite a few industries.
Do you support this effort? or should it be canned considering that we're not even living up to the human rights declarations?
Their stuff looks competitive, but I wouldn't buy from them unless I checked them out either through the WTC or someone local. I have read a few stories where people never got the products they ordered.
I agree with Serene. Age matters. Anybody who says otherwise is either delusional or lying. Sorry, but that's my opinion. There may be the odd case where it works, but what are the stats on that... 1 in 1000? 1 in 10 000?
That depends on the multiple (how much more money relative to what I bring in) Someone who makes twice what I make - not worth it, for the money, I mean.
Come to think of it, I don't ever read about rich people marrying poor people... probably because they don't.
That's kinda how I see it as well. It's either going to happen the old fashioned way or not at all and meanwhile, you make a few online friends. I changed my profile from ltr to pen friends. Learned something already on the site
I suppose out where you are, it makes sense and bless your heart for being prepared to take a chance on someone far away. Making friends/buddies/acquaintances like you describe is one thing and I wouldn't argue that one cannot make friends online, but I have my doubts about romance when one can't see the white in their eyes
There's a website out there called usdate dot com that's under investigation, but still operational. The owner (who is also on fb) steals profile info and photos off of websites and sells them wholesale to dating site operators (or anybody who wants to pay). A lot of his stuff comes from POF.
So you got that whole other element of people making money off of the info that many of us give for free.
Btw, I agree that there are some real creepy people out there.
By identity I mean taking your photo and the information that you volunteer to create a fake ID, for example. All intended to dupe some unsuspecting or gullible person.
