RE: Who left the other in your last relation?

Hiya Chris.. Hiya lusc

I haven't had that many boyfriends.. most have been long term and have met their natural end..Mark 3 years.. loved him.. and he me. but he was older and wanted more than I could give (i.e. was ready to settle down.. I had too much to do) Rob.... 6 years... was kinda going down the tube for the final 18 months.. but I really wanted to make it work.. it finally became apparent, that it was a losing battle.. still friends.. see him when I go home... Al.. 3 years.. I moved back here.. he was involved in a business venture.. neither of us were motivated enough in the relationship to make that personal sacrifice.. left it on very good terms.. still speak to him regularly... Frank.. was just a mistake not suited at all!!!.. still friends though.. my most recent experiences were just plain bad!!!

RE: Who left the other in your last relation?

Nobody has ever finished it with me... not yet anyway... most have come to their natural conclusion and the parting of ways has tended to be fairly amicable...

RE: Obama’s Communist Mentor

No.. I wasn't.. thanks for that... I am not always properly versed on these things.. I still feel though that history has shown, on numerous occasions that communism doesn't work... it is all great.. idealistic in theory but fails to regard the human element, and drive... this historically has needed control and force to keep it in place.. not good in my book...

But thanks will look that one up.. how is it working in these countries?.. also 'socialism' as opposed to 'pure socialism' i.e. Communism.... I would consider myself a socialist and welcome it

RE: Obama’s Communist Mentor

U know what they say about the eyes

RE: Obama’s Communist Mentor

Communism has served its time... it didn't work, and there is plenty of evidence to show that..the only countries that remain under the control of communism in the present day are those still under the grip of Dictatorship (and those at this stage are very few if not nil) I have no feelings on Obama either way but this hypothesis is ridiculous...no western influenced, educatated, sane!! person would entertain such notions..

RE: Written by a man.... advice for women.

.. spot on!!!

RE: Forums and Finding the One ..

In my experience I find it a little harder to suss people out here on the forums... when I meet people in person.. I will often get a 'vibe' which I will be aware of, which is normally right... I won't assess on this alone (cause not fair.. have to give people a chance) but it does tend to be fairly accurate... the thing about 'vibes' though is u need to be in physical proximity to get it..

I must say though.. the people I have liked from the outset here (with few exceptions) have proved to be fairly consistent and my impression of them hasn't changed.. people have off days.. I tend to allow for that though..as I can have those myself

RE: Do men really understand women ? Do women understand men?

I don't really know you Manilito.. but I get the impression that perhaps you are not 'typical'.. it seems (I could be wrong) that you are more in touch with your emotions than the average guy...

Compliment btw.. don't wish to offend r anything

RE: Forums and Finding the One ..

What would you say would be the behavioural traits to avoid..

I am afraid I am not as perceptive as I thought myself to be.. and have been surprised by some people.. I have (or at least had) a tendency to accept people at face value and see the goodness in them... not sure if this is the way to go or not anymore..

What would you say good things to avoid would be

RE: Do men really understand women ? Do women understand men?

Glad u like it .. methinks I will use it more often

RE: Do men really understand women ? Do women understand men?

No.... we just seem to 'think' differently.. I think most people judge situations (whether meant or not) on their own interpretation of what THEY would do .. this leads to alot of confusion and many misunderstandings methinks.

RE: Where would you kiss the person above you???

If I were a bloke.. yeah.. she's veeeryy pretty

RE: Please help us.. My cousin needs love advice and I can't help

Is late now .... but will do

RE: Please help us.. My cousin needs love advice and I can't help

Hiya Sol... long time no see.. how r ya doing???

RE: Forums and Finding the One ..

I agree.. thats why I think it is soooo important to like urself before you can like anyone else... if you don't like urself.. chances are u won't BE urself in a relationship...

RE: Forums and Finding the One ..

::thumbsup:... I agree ...


And I also agree that Riya is on a role!!!

RE: Please help us.. My cousin needs love advice and I can't help

Yeah I agree it all comes down to WHAT she feels for her boyfriend... if she genuinely loves him and sees a future with him.. then no.. definitely not worth it.. she sounds like a genuinely nice girl as well.. so I imagine if she did stray it would eat her up.. definitely not worth that.. JMO

RE: Conditioning-Help or Hinderance?

Missed ya B.. genuinely

RE: Conditioning-Help or Hinderance?

... good thread..

I think it is important to take risks..especially emotional ones... it is why I am so fond of the phrase 'it is better to have loved and lost that to never have loved at all' while that saying is clearly limited to relationships.. I think the premise is a valid one... we have alot more to gain from taking risks than not taking risks at all.. because even if things don't turn out the way you would have liked, at least you can learn something... staying stagnant and never taking risks stunts your growth...

Obviously this natural fear has its place.. i.e. getting burnt will prevent you from sticking ur hand in the fire again.. but emotionally it should not work that way... being hurt emotionally is unlikely to kill you.... and the rewards which can be gained from putting ur heart out there can be great...JMO

My Bro said to me once.. and it kinda stuck with me.. when it comes to love.. its always worth the risk...

RE: Conditioning-Help or Hinderance?

... ... yay!!! ur back!!! missed u B..

RE: If it hurts, it's not love.

I agree.. If you really care about someone deeply it can hurt.. just cause they are directly tapped into your emotions.... however I don't think it is a necessary component or your not lovin if ur not hurtin.. just it can be an element yes in certain circumstances..

RE: how bad you are??????

Well... does that make u good or :bad:

RE: What would you do???

I'm not even a mother yet and I pretty much know I would, I can imagine what you are like ... If any even remotely bad happens to my younger brother (or any of my family really) or my lil nephews and niece.. I get a sick horrible feeling deep in the pit of my stomach.. and they are not even my children

RE: What would you do???

That is a very good point..... alot of people are up to their eyes in debt maintaining bank loans to keep them in nice cars...

But based on the dilemma in question... who needs what more? a person with a mercedes.. their car.. or a starving child... food... I feel morally justified in putting the starving child first.. but thats just me.... thankfully most of us will never be in this situation.. but if you think about it... how many of us throw away lots of food cause we don't like it our buy useless items (with the money we worked hard for) when their are children in your country and in mine (not to mention third world countries) who don't know where their next meal is coming from.... I know it seems on the face of it bad to do something like this.. but if it is a matter of survival human beings are capable of being stretched to their limits.. now while I will be honest and say I would consider pocketing €100 in order to feed my starving children, by the same token I would first be prepared to scrub toitets for a living or beg on the street if it really came to it.. I am not a mother yet, but I do know a mothers love and motivation to protect is about as powerful as it gets JMHO

RE: how bad you are??????

I wish I was bad sometimes... but no saddly I am a good girl

RE: What would you do???

To be very honest.. my hungry children would come first ... seriously... what r u gonna do... look at their hungry faces

RE: What is Love?

I hate when girls do that to good guys... it makes u not want to be good guys anymore and ruins it for the rest of us
