RE: Why is it so easy to find fault in others?

Because regardless of gender... it takes " balls" to ... figuratively speaking ... look INWARDS at one's self in the mirror and accept what you see reflected back... So it is easier to look OUTWARDS ... and lay those judgmental eyes on others... to escape looking at what you have to live with ... in the person that is you...

RE: Curtsying in England

Not only his nose was cut off since getting on with THAT woman... Look further down and it is clear he has long lost THAT pair too...

RE: Skin colour

I beg to DISAGREE on your Asian comment...not just being one myself... but because I own the Asian heritage and complexion ... and I should know what it comes down to... though petite, I NEVER fancied dressing too young for my age or ever fancied infantile fashion as you call it. Probably in SOME Asian cultures but not particularly where I come from ... Likewise , misplaced misconception with your " they are born old and bored and worried..." Growing up, childhood, and teenage yrs were protected but carefree with no worry for money, the future, etc. until it was time to try out my wings ... More scientifically based is to state that Caucasian women ... in comparison to Asian complexion... generally age much earlier bec. of lack of skin pigment to shield against the damage from UV rays of the sun and bec. generally again, white skin (male or female) are mostly drier by nature... hence the earlier appearance of complexion with crepe paper surface texture... which is also why they dont turn to cosmetic surgery early on compared to Caucasians...unless for the vanity of surgical enhancements at a relatively younger age.

RE: Why is America so scared of Elon Musk buying Twitter?

Simply because those who are already in power... living on that power as if they eill live forever ... are ALWAYS afraid of a powerful entity they have NO CONTROL over... like Elon Musk who as the world's richest person can not be bridled, silenced, manipulated, bribed to do anything against his will and conscience.

RE: Is it fair to pursue a relationship abroad, if you have no intention of moving there?

It is good you can ... and have... made your own parameters for happiness, for we know ourselves best than anybody ... most of all the armchair opinionated ones all too eager to give unwarranted/biased/baseless comments to your personal choices that affect your personal and nobody else's life ... For we can't always keep standing by the edge of the pond wondering if the water's too cold or just right temp. to wade in... At some point, many of us actually brave the unknown and take a leap of faith instead of being an adventurer from the comfort of their computer only and give their opinions left and right .

RE: Do any of the women of CS like to dress up and look good as this in a dress?

For clarity's sake, I meant the photo posted by Ten_of_cupss ....

RE: Do any of the women of CS like to dress up and look good as this in a dress?

Now THAT black dress does Monica justice unlike the flowery one regardless of its
haute couture label ....
Made me write a rhyme below as there are just some women of beauty that other women naturally admire without envy ....

Those luscious lips made for French kissing...
Without trying, those eyes created for seducing ...
Her natural curves so deserving of caressing ...
Her overall beauty ... there for admiring ...

RE: How do you reply in 3 words to a text from an Ex that reads "I am dating someone better than you."

IF at all I can be bothered to reply.... " Same here too !" . . .

RE: Feb, 14

OMG... indeed it is coming and I wldn't have noticed if not for reading this .... But that's my kind of spirit which therefore inspires me to do the same come Valentine's .... After all, we are either our own best friend ... or own worst self-sabotaging nemesis ....

RE: What is your presence about in the forums. How do you see your "role" here.

You got that right ... Particularly those who seem to have the forums as their main social interaction in life... some have the " my way or the highway" or "my way is right and yours is , well ..."...and even more striking... socializing here with bitterness in their bones tainted with a good dose of aggression... to say nothing of a huge chip on the shoulder .... No wonder they are indefinitely alone and will be forever looking ...

RE: If a uneducated man or woman here in CS .

Ahhh. but wait till you have to live amongst them fulltime 24/7 ... specially if you're female... then, one has no choice but to dance to their music , so to speak... Same thing with foreign visitors in ultra conservative Saudi Arabia... tourists are fine and welcome... they bring income to local businesses ... but to live there fulltime is a diff song altogether ... then you will be subject to their laws in order to stay...

RE: Pets

Exactly... and as further testament to that ... I have an own poem of mine posted here entitled "Of Animals and Humans"... hope you get to read it bec it totally resonates with your thinking and reasoning ....

RE: Would you date a woman...with tattoos?

I've got a tattoo... did it with my own hardearned money... took my time to think of what I would like to be permanently etched on my forearm... went to a decent-and-not-a-backyard female tattoo artist ... and if somebody disapproves of it, that's their business.... Just as it is MY sole business to do what feels comfortable for me and my skin... Anyone who doesnt approve of tattoos on women ... whether on some or all... are free to look the other direction and walk away...

RE: i want to move to another state

For the sake of sensible discussion ... THE SAME can be commented and asked to your side of the world... which simply means airheads, scammers, snakes, lowlifes are NOT the monopoly of ANY country in this planet ...

And as my late American husband (whose father served in Europe during WWII) once said to a drunk rowdy Brit in a pub ... if it weren't for the Yanks, he wld be speaking German today ... and my part of the world (Asia) wld be speaking Japanese.

RE: God Bless Astra Zeneca

To the Astra Zeneca cynics and bashers ... I dont suppose ... or perhaps you just might ... be more open to being guinea pigs or amongst the first in line to Russian Gamaleya or Communist China's Sinovac vaccines? At some point a personal choice has to be made .... and while no side of the fence is immaculately faultless ... it would be rather odd if people in the Western world would choose a vaccine manufactured from the other side of the fence .. where we all know adherence to international standards , transparency of data and information are all a BIGGER question mark across the board ...

RE: Ladies... Just curious. What designer perfume fragrance do you wear when you want to subtly impress?

No matter what anyone says.... smelling good does not come on its own and aside from personal hygiene ... perfume is here to stay ... Developed an appreciation for it as I grew older... and my preferences are classic version of Lolita Lempicka for later in the day and Kenzo FLOWER for daytime ..

RE: whether you hate my country China???????????

I did NOT praise my country to the high heavens .... I did NOT say my country was perfect.... And we are talking specifically of the Chinese govt.... The issue of Duterte belongs to ANOTHER forum by itself .... And like ANY country in this planet ... Filipinos deserve the govt they elect .. for better or for worse .... until the next election where the electorate can right their wrongs if they have learned their lesson .... To ask the question you asked... one might as well say... and WHAT will the Russians do to stem Putin's stronghold ... what will the Iranians do about their Ayatollah ... the Syrians about Bashar Hafez al-Assad ... etc...

It is easy to comment with tunnel vision mentality and knowledge ... easy to be an armchair commentator if no personal experience in their own country of dictators... and the suppression it can bring ... I made my argument with facts you can google ... you threw back one that only meant to hopefully catch me unprepared to make a rebuttal ... which as u can see, it did not ...

RE: Visit TUNISIA

Yes, Bogart_1960 ..... I too have been to Tunis.... and even preferred it to Morocco as it is a tad more laidback than the more conservative Morocco... Still, BOTH were a rich cultural and gastronomic experience.... All you critics.... you most have probably NOT even been to the place and your nearest experience with that area is tv... My then Swedish husband and I always said after going to Morocco and Tunis.... the BEST local people to represent these two,Muslim countries are ALWAYS the ones who live there and SELDOM those who migrate to Europe... they seem to be the scum of their own society back home... But going to these countries.... including Turkey... you meet the most friendly people (amongst the expected exceptions who try to screw you) and DEFINITELY.... even I as a woman in Western clothes... WITHOUT any traditional Muslim covering.... was met with nothing but respect for my gender....So,yes.... I would call these haters, bashers... who have never been to these countries to see and experience with their own eyes...downright MORONIC bashers.... or couch critics at the very least....

RE: Do You Believe in Love at Firt sight

I agree.... love at first sight ... is really “attraction at first sight” only .... love takes some time to grow and develop, not in an instant at first glance or meeting. Never happened to me either ... on all instances in my life, the love developed as the chemistry had a chance to work its way ....

RE: Ken anybuddy spel rite

Not only on threads, but also on what little they write in their profiles that remain uncorrected .... Which makes one wonder when reading of the occupation or education indicated.....

RE: Do You Like Beethoven?

Yes, I do... in fact, I play on the piano the first four pages of Moonlight Sonata, which is the main portion of the whole piece.... Those who have said they dont particularly like Beethoven might not be able to appreciate the intensity of the mood of his pieces, like this one. But I love the strong emotions it conveys without words ... specially as I let it flow through my fingers on the piano keys ...

RE: Subservience...

To those who’d rather keep their head (for whatever it’s worth) ... i have this to say ....

It is like that line from the main character in the movie 300 : Rise of an Empire .... something like “Die on our feet than live on our knees” .... We all have our priorities ... our life ... or self respect...

RE: Subservience...

RE: Seriously .. how far CS members think we can go?

From my experience.... they come from Pakistan, India, Turkey , and the like... ages of men that are way more than 5 yrs younger than your stated minimum age for your ideal match. Totally ignores also the repeated mention of your racial or ethnic preference... they still bother you by using the Like or Favourite option. Full caps dont work either ... that you wonder if they read anything of your profile info ... or how much English they can comprehend ... That is why I wish CS would allow us to have more options in Block settings at least.

RE: Seriously .. how far CS members think we can go?

Yes I agree... just a matter of tweaking your block settings .... then the most they can do.... though still annoying and makes you wonder if they read through what you took the time to write.... is to Like or Favourite you.... Personally, I wld prefer us to have more options on the Block settings on certain preferences that matter just as much as where a person comes from.
