RE: Daring

I was backpacking in Papua New Guinea, taking a bus up to the Highlands and got into a conversation with a young man who had been in Australia going to school. He started telling me about the village he lived in out in the jungle, I expressed an interest and next thing I knew I was getting off the bus with him and hiking 8 kilometers into the jungle to meet his family and friends. I wound up staying for 2 weeks on a bamboo shelf up in the trees. Amazing experience and it turned out well, but it could have been soooo different!

RE: Catch22

Magic, my whole life is a catch 22!!!

I want to meet someone for a relationship but as soon as there is a glimmer of a possibility my first reaction is to run...

How do I handle it? I run...

RE: Another....Blonde Joke

Blond Revenge

Three blonds are walking down the beach when they stumble upon a genie bottle, they pick it up give it a rub and poof out comes a genie.

The Genie says, I've been trapped in that bottle for thousands of years, for releasing me I'll grant each of you one wish...

First blond says, Well I'm really tired of people thinking that I'm stupid, really fed up with it... I want to be a brunette.... poof he made her a brunette.

Second Blond says, me too... I've had it up to here with no one respecting my opinion, everyone thinking I'm dumb... I want to be a red head... poof he made her a red head.

Third Blond says, well you know, I actually have a really good time with people thinking that I'm dumb... no one expects to much, I get away with a lot... if any thing I'd like to appear to be even dumber... poof he made her a man!

RE: How would you like to fall in love?:kiss:

That sounds like a horrible experience and makes me glad i have a rebellious streak, my back goes up the second someone tells me to do something! Do you find that people who continually spout how spiritual they are, usually are the least spiritual people you meet?

RE: Malta! It has to be asked....

Well thats saying a lot!!! I loved Italy when I was there! Does Malta have its own language or Italian?

In Ibiza the locals consider themselves Ibizincan, and actually do have a seperate language but it's not used as much as Spanish.

RE: How would you like to fall in love?:kiss:

No, I don't think one offs, I come from a huge family aunts uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters, My sister and I are the only divorces in our entire family (and she has since remarried very happily}which is spread out through the States, Scotland, Australia, Ibiza and Canada.

Even my daughter is in an amazing relationship and has been for 7 years (getting married march 2008 ) My parents have been together for 49 years and are still in love and show it to each other. I was even in one for 3 years and love him to this day, and ended the relationship for the most incredibly stupid reasons that I won't go into here.

So no, i do believe and have seen it and experienced it!

RE: Malta! It has to be asked....

Ok, I noticed the boot and a bit of water is between us, the local here are spanish, in malta, italian or similar? See I really am ignorant, shows what an education from the states can do for you!

RE: How would you like to fall in love?:kiss:

Do you think that this actually happens in real life? Are there people who Realy honest and committed in a relationship? ..... or is this just an Ideal of Fantasy?.... what we would like it to be like?


Yes... Ahhhhh Beliiieeeve!!! Why be in a relationship unless you can be committed and honest? Of course this could be why I haven't been in a long term relationship for 23 years

RE: Malta! It has to be asked....

To be honest I didn't really know anything about Malta, so I jumped on the internet and realized... I would be in culture shock!!!! After five years in Ibiza I'm used to knowing half the population. Malta is half the size and has 4 times the population... Now I know why I can't find a partner... what are you all doing here!?

RE: connecting

I got a lovely glow reading this, thank you

Great minds think alike!!!!

RE: if an angel fell from the sky landed on your lap ! and granted you a choice of 10 wishes

Honestly? I'm taking the 20 million pounds!

First I pay off the mortgages for everyone in my family and set up and fund my own charity so I know all the money is going where it's supposed to go. That takes care of my "inner peace and respect" from the people who matter to me.

2nd I'm booked into a health farm getting fitter and healthier then I've ever been and yes getting a few nips and tucks if necessary because I want to look in the mirror and say wow (I know sounds a bit shallow, but I'm being honest here) I have good genes so I think I'm probably going to live as long as I need to, especially after that health farm!

3rd I'm going to enjoy myself traveling and meeting people, pursing activities that interest me and in doing so will meet others who enjoy the same activities and life style and now that I'm looking so good I'll find that special guy while setting up my orphanage in Guatemala, he will be the one who loves me the way I want to be loved.

I'm not very romantic, I never want to be someone else, no interest in social power and whats a superior being?

I'll make whatever small changes I can along the way to improve this world we live in.

So with 20 million pounds I've achieved everything I want on the list!

RE: Where in my profile does it say gullible?

I think they tend to target women over forty thinking we're dateless and desperate! Suprise, we're not stupid either!

RE: Where in my profile does it say gullible?

Well said!!!!

RE: here's the scenario..

I used to live in San Francisco and in the States they have this very cool thing called the Entertainment Book that you can purchase, its a book of discounts usually 2 for one and some of the finest restaurants in the city have coupons in it.
I had no problem when my date used his coupon and we went on to use up most of his book and dined in some amazing restaurants. He insisted on paying everytime and some of those meals even with a 2 for 1 coupon were in the 200.00 range, he definatly wasn't tight with money and if I had made a
judgemment on that first date, I would have been the loser!

ooops that was meant to be Taking not talking!

RE: things have different names and meanings in other countrys ,,

Hate to be a nit picker but jam has pieces of fruit, jelly has been strained and is smooth.

Get pissed, UK means drunk US means angry "I'm really pissed off!"
often encourages the reply
"Well it's better to be pissed off then pissed on"

Uk "Talking the piss" means teasing someone, US - would mean you just stole someones little sample cup!

RE: How would you like to fall in love?:kiss:

Well I'll delve into my own sordid past to reply to this...

I spent 9 months having phone conversations with a man who worked for the same company that I was working for but in a different state. We spoke at least 3 times a week and we talked about everything. He would call first thing Monday morning and we would discuss our weekends, we exchanged ideas and ideals, we opened our hearts and souls to each other and I felt myself falling in love with this voice on the phone. We had photos of each other and found each other attractive, and finally he was coming to California...

He made reservations at a fantastic restaurant for our first date... the anticipation and excitement... and then we met, face to face and.... pffffffttt nothing! We spent dinner discussing the fact that we had no chemistry and wound up being good friends, but we both had thought we had met our soul-mates, yes we had actually used those words with each other.

No, it wasn't a total waste by any means, I got a new friend out of the deal... but just goes to show... love is a funny thing!

RE: How would you like to fall in love?:kiss:

perhaps old souls meeting once again...

RE: How would you like to fall in love?:kiss:

maybe its all semantics but I think "growing in love" is a more apt description

RE: whats it goning to take

Well for starters probably less than one percent of the female population of Nashville is on this sight, so don't limit yourself to meeting someone here.

You might want to think of expanding your age limit, why is it so important that you have a woman younger then you are? Some of us old broads are active, lively, intelligent... and definatly not going to respond to someone who has an age limit younger then they are.

and I agree with the other ladies, try being the one to initiate the conversation.

RE: Intellectual pursuit.

A thread that deserves to be brought up from the depths...



For me intellectual compatibility is key in any relationship, be it a friend or a partner.
My definition is the ability to take in, comprehend and produce insightful conclusions to new information

I think that it's important that you be on the same level in this ability, otherwise conversation goes over your head, or bores you.

Difference of opinion is wonderful, makes for great conversation and who knows you might even learn something.

I do think that it is necessary to have similar fundamental beliefs, but to me thats quite different then intellectual compatability

RE: thank you Mods but

Glad it worked!
