Well, I would agree with that, Jesse, for women too.
Contentment, and security are very important to one's personal health and wellbeing.
But I find it strange when scientists and suchlike say that men are inherrently not suited for monogamy, due to their built in need to "spread the seed", for want of a better expression.
There was a TV program on last night I was watching, where they said that an English millionaire had just bought the world's most expensive dog kennel. It had wide screen plasma TV, cable, even a phone. And it cost £25,000 ($41,700, or Euros 29,000).
Utterly disgusting, when the next item on the news is about people in London living in extreme poverty...
Read this quote once and thought it was hilarious:
“My husband was not faithful. He thought monogamy was a type of wood. I’m like, "“No, honey, MONOGAMY is when you just sleep with your wife”". "No, he said, “that’s MONOTONY”...”
Interesting one, this.Two slightly conflicting issues for me, here.
Firstly, as regards my personal opinion of someone, once I get to know them as a friend - it doesnt matter ONE BIT if their spelling is less than perfect. There can be many reasons for this, and its not necessarily because they are ignorant or uneducated. Some of the most intelligent and commonsensical people I know dont have perfect spelling or grammer. Its more WHAT they say, than HOW they spell it that matter to me.
HOWEVER..on sites like these, one of the only initial things you can go by is someone's words. So, consequently, if you see a badly worded, badly spelled post, or one that only speaks in text speak, then it is hard not to form an immediate opinion of that person, as regards their intelligence level. Its just a knee jerk reaction, and quite a natural one. Not always fair, but sadly, the case of it. So, when posting, people have to realise that impressions can be made on the spur of the moment regarding their words, so a little time should be made before sending the post, maybe.
I guess the moral of the story here is NOT TO JUDGE too quickly.
Yes, they do still do it. I think most guys like doing that, but alot have been scared off by modern women's attitudes. Men can be so afraid of offending a woman, because a simple old fashioned gesture of courtesy CAN be misconstrued by the woman as being patronising, and suggesting the lady cannot do it for herself, which, of course, is not true!
For me, I like it very much. It is not so much the actual gesture, but the meaning behind it, and the fact that the guy has taken the time to make the effort.
That may be so, as regards "Joe Camel", and as I have never heard of him, then I will take your word for it. The point is, that young people are not forced to put a cigarette in their mouth by anyone, however many "Joe Camels" there are..
As regards the health issues regarding smoking in general, I dont think there is anyone on the planet who thinks that smoking is good for you, myself included. I am well aware of the nasties they contain. Smoking is a horrible thing to do to one's body, yes, I certainly dont dispute that, and I intend to give up at some point in the future.
The point is, as regards this particular thread, is that banning smoking and tobacco from our TVs and cinemas is a form of censorship. In that respect, I am dead against it. Im against the censorship issue, NOT the dangers of smoking. Two completely different issues.
Censorship on ANYTHING is wrong, and its a slippery slope. As I have heard Americans say many times, they hold their Amendments in deep love, and rightly so. The same can be said for censoring what we see on TV and in movies.
I am not talking about tobacco advertising, which I think was ok in being banned. Im talking about general TV and Movie watching. Its a very dangerous way to go, because where do you stop, as I said earlier..?
As regards the tobacco companies targetting the young people, then I again disagree. I think it is more that young people are more susceptible to ANYTHING than adults are, whether it be tobacco, drink, expensive runners, etc. Thats just their nature, and was mine when I was that age. Its a question of choice.
As I dont agree with the argument that cannabis is a gateway drug to harder drugs, I dont believe that tobacco is a gateway drug either. Simply dont happen. Again, its a question of choice and free will.
The OPs question was about banning smoking on TV and movies; not whether it should be banned Period.
I have had this in the past, due to family and friends being abroad. I found the best way to deal with it was try and just look at it as a normal day, rather than a birthday. I treated Christmas the same way, if I was on my own.
Its tough, but it does help.
Other than that, just try and get out, even just for a walk. Dont stay inside on your own..
Well, I dont think anyone would think you were a flake or looking for one-offs, if you chose the dating option, hotliving. There is an option for "intimate encounters" that would probably better cover that!
I think just make it clear in your profile text what you are really looking for, make sure your sincerity and willingness to enter into a longer term committment is there, and you should be fine!!
Well, depends what your ultimate goal is, obviously..
But I think its best to take the middle ground in the options section, and say "Dating". Then, if you are looking for longer term, you can state that in the profile text in more detail, as in "looking for dating initially but with a view to getting to know someone for a long term relationship". Or something like that.
I agree, if you put "Marriage" or even "Long term" straight away, it could scare some off, so I think the dating option, with a little more padding out in the main text is pretty middle line.
I think we all (those who are single) come into a site like this with the desire to meet that "special one". Its natural, because hope always abounds, Thank God.
But, as I have said before on here, once you relax, and just enjoy it for what it is, then you are more likely to succeed in your goal.
Its a great site for meeting friends from all around the world, and then, if love appears, then wonderful. If not, you have lost nothing, but possibly gained a great deal.

RE: How does personality affect finding your match?
I think a little of both, would be nice.Its good to have different opinions and interests, to a degree, so you have things to debate and to talk about at the end of each day.
But its also good to have similar values, common beliefs and desires in life. Both physically AND mentally.
