I think we are getting a little carried away here and pulled in different directions. I am all for the good old days but the past 30 years have brought forth some new revelations and advances that add to quality of life not diminish it. Yes it has often come too late and with a heavy price attached but better late than never. I could list many improvements that have taken place. Things like a greater awareness of our environment and the implementation of procedures and equipment of companies to create a greener planet. People are also becoming more health conscience and choosing a healthier life style in spite of the fast food giants. As far as technology is concerned do I like the fact children sit in front of the TV and play games for hours on time? No I do not but it is not the kids fault but the parents. Having said that there is new research out that suggest video games in moderation can be good for the development of a child. You may disagree but that is what the research says not what I say. Again the parent has to be a parent. That means making decisions for your kids that they may not always like. My son use to want to spend hours playing video games. I had no problem with telling him to get his behind outside and do something. There was lots for him to do outside of the house and he would enjoy doing it. I do not like everything I see but there are some positives. We can continue to blame technology or government or whatever. The fact is times and methods of doing things change. We can accept it or fight it because it was not the way it use to be done in the good old days. I have some great memories about the good old days. But I also feel that not everything about the good old days was better.
I3estman4u I think it is not impossible but to find a mature 20 year old woman is difficult. They have very little life experience and usually are still discovering who they are. From my experience women in their early 20's are more interested in clubbing and partying hard than settling down and being responsible. There are exceptions though but for myself I could not date someone younger than 25 and preferably 30 or over.
I think it is quite possible. I see very little difference between spending time with someone in person or online accept for the physical. If someone puts their best foot forward online they can do it in person. If someone is not honest online they can also be dishonest face to face. I do not have a good definition for love but I believe it happens when you spend time with someone and get to know that person, period. Some people spend long hours online getting to know someone and are disappointed after the meeting. But how many people think they are in love, get married and then end up saying he is not the man or woman I thought they were. Love means different things to different people and it is not just a feeling. Just because you have something going on through Internet does not mean it is infatuation or lust. There can be an emotional, spiritual and I believe even a love connection through use of a keyboard, mic. and web cam.
Its not a strong preference. I would date a woman younger or older. I was more curious about what people would say about that age because there is someone interested in me who is 30. But then again who cares what people think? I guess I am just cluing into that.
20 days and still nothing but boots and a hat? I hate hearing this. I have a teenage son and daughter. If that had happened to one of them I would want to die. I hope they find the little guy so the family can have some type of closure, albeit terrible closure.
There has been no takers on your question so I will add this. If your a goodlookingguy like your profile name suggest than post your picture. You may or may not have better success. Most women will not message you without a pic.
It is not considered a lie if you hold back some information. Transparency and honesty are different. I try to be both because that is the way I was raised. Some people and I would say most are not totally transparent but that is not wrong. It is wrong if your asked a question and your answer is a lie. Personally I do not believe in white lies like some do. I think a lie is a lie regardless of where it is placed on the lie scale. If someone is willing to lie then they must be willing to accept the consequences of that lie. Most will come back to bite you.
That would depend on the imperfections. Some imperfections are changeable so why should we accept them? Unconditional love does not mean you have to accept imperfections. If someone does not want to change then you have a choice to accept or not accept.
lol. It would be interesting to know what the girls thought of my photos but really that does not matter to me. I know I am not the most handsome guy but I am OK with that. Not everyone is born with good looks. I am comfortable with my shell and interior and that is all that matters. I have heard that some younger women find older men attractive. That is good to know, :)
I here what the both of you are saying. I sometimes feel a little awkward sending a message to someone quite a bit younger. No offence to the caucasians but that is why I like Asian women. For the most part they just want someone that will treat them right. Caucasian women want that too but they prefer men close to their age. It goes both ways though. My father remarried a woman 16 years older. They have had a happy relationship but the older they get the more noticeable the age gap is.
Yes Viper be what you want to be but I would echo rider4u. You should change that line kinda. It may be just a small thing in the overall picture but it comes across that maybe you are not ambitious or unsure of yourself. Also add a little humor to your profile. Women dig men that can make them laugh. Just do not over do it. It would not hurt to give your profile a make over but I would run it buy some of your female friend first. That way you can get some constructive comments before you post it. Finally don't sweat it if your not getting the results you want. Sometimes it takes 2 years or more before you meat that special woman.
Age Difference
Thank you but still in the early stages. To soon to know if it will work but its a start.
