If you think I repeatedly diss your hopeful relationship with Lisa, I will quote you from postings I have made. You might quote from ones advising caution, which I proudly agree I made, but I also told Lisa in postings how I thought you were a good guy and hoped it would work out, etc.
I deny dissing Steve21 or stabbing him in the back, period. I have complimented him on these postings in private messages to Lisa. I was the one who suggested she phone him up. I have done nothing to warrant his THREATS. I would appreciate it if he just stop talking like that. No discussion is needed, I am not asking for an apology, because that would be a discussion, no more posts, please, but I insist that Steve has it quite backwards, I have done quite a lot to help him, and indeed this attempt to get his picture up was also an attempt to help him -- I certainly don't like looking a men's pix, myself. I just want his rep to be better. So stop it Steve, I know this is probably nerves on your part, because of meeting Lisa on Tuesday. I understand that.
It is all just data, just information, something to help us make choices. Personality data from conversations, from postings, may be better -- it is hard to fake a sense of humor, hard to fake wit, intelligence education, or to disguise their opposites. Having said all that, what Paula said is exactly right. You should post a picture. It give additional data, which we can compare with the personality data. It is discourteous to us all not to do so, an argument you as a young man will disregard completely, I am sure, but it also casts suspicion on you, and that is just bad tactics. It is always better to remain above suspicion when it is easy to do so, since there will be times when you have to do dubious things, and you might need a good name. Don't gloat over having met a beautiful girl here. You have not won her yet. You should do everything you can to be a good guy now, so if at some point the balance is almost evenly loaded for and against you, the tiny little details overlooked not might not count against you. Paula is right and she is not the first to make this argument. Indeed, the photos are part of membership in this community, and you are acting like you don'r really belong here, which is not good, because Lisa feels she does.
My tax person told me a story. He is of Japanese descent. His father, quite Japanese, was staying with him here in Canada. He speaks some English. He was out for walk, this Japanes gentleman, and met their Canadian neighbour. In the course of conversation the neighbour said he was 65 years old. "Oh", said the Japanese man, "you look 75!". This did not go over so well! Of course it was meant as a compliment, because in that culture age is respected.
I agree with the lovely Paula, and I would point out that there are companies listed online and in phone books which will digitize and upload photographs for people lacking scanners or digital cameras. It is worth a few bucks to have a nice digital photo handy for places like these. That someone like Steve, ahem! would have photos and chose not to put them up, dammit, makes us very suspicious of a guy who is going to date our beloved Lisa, Steve!
For a young person maturity seems the right word, for an older person, perhaps youtfulness, or maybe vitality, meaning in either case the retention of that youthful high-spiritedness and drive that distinguishes the young.
Age is a central value, and your genes and life style will give ten percent on either side of that age. Someone of Itzycatx's age, 55, could seem to be 45 or 65 depending on genes and life style. She seems more like 45.
Lisa, I am so happy for you, I really am. I guess, you've heard my news, too, I too have a date you know, and she also sounds nice on the phone modulo the American way. I am so glad you did call Steve and get it started with him. I am just thrilled for you, bitter envy and jealousy aside.
Now you do what I said and watch for him from a distance first, to make sure he isn't really Quasimodo using another's pix, but I am sure he wouldn't try that, after all, you'd probably notice. Yes, he should favour us with his pix as well, though frankly I don't like looking at guy's pix and would be just as happy not to. I am just curious. Maybe he could put them up for a day then delete them.
Yes, much of yesterday I was SOL and used the forum quite ruthlessly to post personal messages. I hope you noticed the one meant for you, Lisa, a reply to the message you sent me.
Steve and Vanity, not to link your names, perish the awful thought, when are you going to post photos? What is the hangup? Snail-mail one to someone with a scanner, if need be.
Oh, never mind. If you wanted to put it up, put it up, sure. That is fine. I realize you are talking about the red one and it would make sense to put it up. Cherie was saying she wanted to see it, and if she just wanted to see it, you could just mail it to her, but it does make sense to put it up.
That was 40 years ago, Jackie, and I was not quite 14, she was 12, we were two cute kids who went into the nearby woods to see if the facts of life we had learned were actually true.
How did you get them to switch pix so quick, Jackie?
If you want to e-mail me possible pix (to my real e-mail address) I would be glad to think about them, and maybe do something about contrast and brightness and cropping while I was at it.
Oh, I am glad you removed it. Really it was a bit much. Now, be a good girl and do what I told you. No, not that, I mean about putting a nice sweet pix. A total lie, I mean.
Jackie (cutelildevilsmum)has a new alternative picture posted in her profile, a side view in a yellowish top that shows her extensive mammary development. click on it to even further enlarge them, it mean it.
RE: What is with all the no picture profiles????
