RE: Is here anyone normal?

All these people up there ^^ are crazy. I'm the only normal one here. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Oops, I thought that was an excerpt from the last defense budget bill debate.

RE: Technical Problems?

I see two quizzes when I go through your profile. The last one is from 25 March about saracasm. Is that the one you mean?

Headshots

Hmm.. I think some guys might disagree, except the gorgeous hunks maybe

You know, I met a lady for a business discussion not so long ago. I had seen her picture on previous correspondence and she looked very slim. When I met her in person, she was very large on the bottom. It didn't matter because this wasn't a personal encounter, but I remember this so well because the discrepancy between what I saw on the picture and then met in person was so pronounced, that it actually surprised me.

So by extension, in the dating world, when you rely on photos to get an impression of someone that you might get personally involved with, that sort of thing can in fact lead to an emotional reaction. Nobody would talk about deception in business because physique isn't important, but in dating... hmm, you know.

By the way, I would have reacted the same way in the situation you described.

Okay, okay... but if you type in "majools date palm" you get the same result as with "medjool date palm". Tomayto-Tomahto (this doesn't work well typed). You know I didn't mean slang for bling (ma'jewls) and yes, I remember

Oh I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one who saw that film. I couldn't remember whether it was on TV or youtube or elsewhere. Ah, yeah, I don't recall that they explained it to that one nice guy nd that he got an actual date out of it. Thanks for the refresher

Headshots

But I take it you were civil about it, right? Not meaning comforting her, but you weren't rude?

Btw, wasn't Lesley one of the group that wanted to ban rap?

Headshots

I never really thought about it, but now that I think about it, you're right. It would be difficult for a woman to know because we're tend to hang with either one or the other group of men. Great comment!

Tax Time

Apology accepted. Do you have to file tax returns every year in Pakistan?

Tax Time

Don't you have to file, either way? One year, I was up in school and didn't file in that state because I had no income. 5 years later, I got a notice from them assessing taxes, fees and penalties because they assumed that I just didn't file and had income. I had to prove to them that I had no income Try and prove a negative, you know. So I said to them: "prove I had income." One of many nightmares.

Good lord I've been with the same CPA for many, many years. We're family friends, you know. I can't even bother with H&R or Hewitt because of the international stuff. It would be a nightmare to clean up a mistake with that stuff. Since GW, the new rules for int'l stuff have become a nightmare.

So not funny It's like the mafia breathing down your neck.

Of course it's "some" and not "all". Goes without saying. I'm just doing a little relaxed small talk here over a light subject.

Present company (thread participants) always excluded

I gotta go get some rays now and swing by the supermarket and pick up some majools

Back to check the thread a bit later.

Exactly. Time wasted and they get angry. As a guy, do you think guys react angry if it's another guy wasting their time? or do they get angrier with women because they can?

This wasn't scientific by any stretch. In fact, I believe there's no such thing as social "science"). Be that as it may, it looked like it could have been true.

How would you react? Civilly? Would you date the girl if she gained a lot of weight from the time the first photo was taken until you met? or if you had never seen a recent full body pic/video?

Headshots

Hi BJ

Why do guys not behave civilly? Is it the mojo juice or what?

RE: I believe in:

For all practical purposes, I'm an atheist. I do keep an open mind because we only use part of our brain and we are limited by our biology in terms of comprehending many things like infinity, nothingness and such, but I do not accept any of the worldly religions as viable explanations for what is and what isn't.

RE: opening a constructive conversation

Yep.. sooner or later

Headshots

A year or two ago, I saw this social experiment where men and women set up dates with a skinny photo and then claimed to have gained weight in the last 6 months and showed up to the dates in a fat suit. Across the board, the women were pretty nice to the fat man, but none agreed to see him again. The men, with one exception, were outright rude and angry with the fat girl.

Both genders were equally deceived, but the men reacted so much more aggressively. What gives?

Tax Time

Actually I have an accountant, because things are too complicated, but I have to dig up all the crap aaarrrhhh... so I hang out here and procrastinate

RE: opening a constructive conversation

That's assuming there's a bridge there already. Starting from scratch, you need the building blocks, a team and the bank on the other side of the river has to be visible (not foggy).

RE: Ladies, if some other woman was trying to flirt or pick up on your man, how would you handle it?

If a woman puts the move on the guy, it's his responsibility to tell her to go away. If he doesn't do it, it's adios muchacho. I figure if he wants to entertain someone else, then that's okay, but I'm out.

Yes, it happened to me. First time was with my ex husband when we dated. He didn't respond to the woman and that was okay. She was a co-worker

Then it happened once on a date and the guy was flattered and did the eye-stalking thing with that woman and at the end of the date, I told him I didn't want to see him again. Simple.

I get so miffed this time of year, every year when I think about how much I have to pay and what I get for it.

Did you pay the piper yet?

I have to do mine this weekend
