Bad manners? on a dating site? okay....

RE: Should EU adopt australian immigration rules?

I don't like the point system. They can give you zero points after a certain age and that can zero out your chances even if you are a highly qualified doctor. The only "out" of that dilemma they have in OZ is that you can bring money. 15 years ago, the buy-in price was 500K AUD. Maybe it's more now? Don't know. Germany also has a buy-in price, so does the US. Germany is 250K Euro.

RE: Online mail order brides!!

Spot on. All you have to do is a google search and find out how many guys are in prison for murdering their mail order brides or attempting to murder them and all sorts of nasty things.

RE: Disco "Fever"

This song was all over the radio as well:

RE: Disco "Fever"

I LOVED that decade !! I still enjoy listening to some of those songs. I remember in my town, this song set the whole thing off:

RE: Is it more common ?

I honestly don't know what the reason was. I should ask next time I'm "home".

... and no to the other question because I don't swing that way, but I can be a persuasive talker when I have to be

RE: Online mail order brides!!

How much is prepared to pay?

RE: Is it more common ?

Not a chance. I think by the time she and I have a chat, we'll be good friends and you'll be in deep doodoo

Actually they sounded the sirens through the 70s. I often wondered why, but they did.

RE: Is it more common ?

But if I were number 1, then I'd have to give written permission for 2,3 and 4 and I wouldn't do that

RE: Is it more common ?

Well, that lady has no manners. (You can tell her I said so )

Yes, a lunch sets a better tone and OMG, yes I remember the air raid sirens In fact, I still know where the air raid shelters are/were in my hometown. When did they stop sounding those? (boy do I feel old now )

RE: Is it more common ?

Thank you , but I still won't be your 4th wife

RE: Is it more common ?

I'm sure there are cases where the women double-talk and I don't blame all men for the bad apples. Would it not be prudent to assume that the woman means what she says? Now let me ask you: If a woman says she wants friends only, why would a guy who is looking for more even respond to such a woman or ask her out? Isn't that where the deceit begins? by assuming that she double-talks? Respect begins where you assume that they tell the truth and act accordingly. If we don't do that, we just perpetuate dishonest behavior, imo.

RE: Is it more common ?

Geez, how childish is that to make a scene or leave nasty texts. I agree with you that decent guys with manners don't do that sort of thing. It's a lot easier to see who someone is when you meet them in person first and you know a bit about them in a neutral environment. It's sad, but the bad apples ruin it for everybody else. C'est la vie.

RE: Is it more common ?

I just wanted to make some friends to hang out with, not get anything romantic going. That seems to be an impossible endeavor. I think the part that guys just don't get is where I mean what I say. I don't double-talk. If I say no romance, I mean that. It's not a disguised way of saying "I'm decent and I don't sleep with you on the second date". I think a lot of guys make that assumption. Ah well, lesson learned

Would you make a good politician?

We better keep an eye on you then

Would you make a good politician?

Thanks for that clip, Moose. That was probably the last time that there was an honest president

There are two clips in here that made me laugh esp. the one with the wreath

RE: Majority of people in your country is

In the US, the majority are Christians of some sort at around 70-something percent. Second largest are non-religious at around 16% (according to Pew).

In Germany, the majority are non- religious at 34%. The rest are mostly Christian (Protestants and Catholics).

Would you make a good politician?

This is for fun only.

Do you think you have what it takes to be a good politician? Do you have the skills to survive in a snake pit? Can you do intrigue and backstabbing? Are you a good negotiator? Can you bring about compromise?

... and by extension, do you think one needs to be a good politician to have a good relationship with a partner?

(When my son was a kid in Middle School, he once wrote on a paper that politics is everywhere and he observes it in our kitchen every day From the mouth of babes.)

RE: Do you and your ex still remain friends...have contact with each other?

I voted yes. We have a child together and we are both interested in our child doing well. There is no point being adversarial with each other. Heck, we were married for a long time. I still respect my ex husband and vice versa. We didn't divorce because we hate each other, but because the marriage didn't work. We don't talk all the time, but if push comes to shove, I know I can trust him and he can trust me.

RE: Is it more common ?

Hey Skippy

I think you're right. As to the why, I suppose there are many possible explanations. Let me share a little story. A year ago or so, I talked with a local guy. I said I'm only interested in meeting someone (male or female) to go the movie or dinner with; nothing more. He said ok. The following day I get this note: "I'm not driving all the way to (my part of town from his part of town) if all I get is a warm handshake." Mind, I made it VERY clear from day one that there will be no romance involved. So the guy clearly thought that I was putting on a show for appearance sake and when he found out that I mean what I say, he ran, like the good dog he is.

That's what it looks like on the female side of the fence. I'm sure men have stories to tell as well. What do I conclude from my experiences? Old school, face-to-face is the way to go if you want someone for a serious relationship.

RE: We are not a monogamous species.

We're not a monogamous species, but because we can, doesn't mean we should. Women don't die in childbirth at a young age like they used to; we've depleted our natural resources and men don't survive by being fit hunters anymore. Nature had it right in the beginning. Men and women died young and nature could support the animal lifestyle. Things aren't like that anymore.

By the way, if more people washed their hands, there'd be fewer diseases, but by nature, we're not a "clean" species either.

RE: We are not a monogamous species.

Thanks Life. Sounds interesting. I'll look for it at the library

I think you know about the Borgas. Pope Alexander VI was famous for acknowledging publicly his mistress and a bunch of children. It was a very interesting time in Italy politically.

RE: Can People Love Too Much?

Can you?
Have you loved too much?
Is it possible?[/quote]



That statement needs to be further qualified, imo. Too much for your own good? too much so that the other person is bothered? Too much implies that there is a minimum, an ideal and a maximum. I don't think you can really quantify emotions. When it starts to interfere negatively with how you function in society or if it interferes with someone else's life beyond what they're comfortable with, then it's not love anymore, but obsession.

RE: Have you ever left CS and returned another time

I was here once before, left for a while and came back. It's all good. Seems as if there are more scammers though.. geezuz... every other profile I see is fake.

RE: We are not a monogamous species.

Oh hell to the no! 3 men? Too expensive to keep and they're too sickly and whiny at my age

RE: We are not a monogamous species.

Life, I'm watching "The Borgias" right now on netflix

RE: We are not a monogamous species.

I don't think I'd have a problem finding 3, but I know that very few would agree to such an arrangement, same as very few women would agree to it in reverse you know.

RE: We are not a monogamous species.

Smart man !

RE: We are not a monogamous species.

Would it be okay for a woman to have 2-3 men?
