RE: hi im bored

Good, thank you..

Lovely day in Cork County..hope you enjoyed the day..

RE: hi im bored

Hi...

RE: hey guys its me again lol

Hi there!

I dont think its different in essence, but I do think it has different priorties.

I think the US is unfortunately much more an "instant gratification" culture than the UK.Even though the UK has got pretty much that way, I still think you will notice a difference.

Good luck on your UK trip!

RE: Has masculinity been overshadowed by malefemininity ?.....

Yes, I believe masculinity has been overshadowed. And I know exactly what you mean by the term "malefemininity"..

The modern women these days gives off such confusing signals to men, its no wonder they feel confused and unsure..

Women can be "equal" with men, as regards rights, pay etc. But to even imagine that we are the same as each other is both ridiculous AND unwanted. Why should I want to be the same as a man? I love being a woman!

The Laddette Culture does women no favours; it stems from a need for women to act like their misguided image of men, thereby being, in their minds "equal"...how crazy..

I love being a woman, and am more than happy to admit that there are some things a man can do better than a woman, and visa versa..Im a strong, capable woman, but Im not a man, and would have no desire to be one..Viva la Difference!

RE: What Is The Last Movie......

Trans Siberian Express... a bit of an arthouse thing..

Thought it was going to be terrible, as it was very slow to start with, but turned into a great, very interesting move..

RE: Would you date an only child?

Thats what I meant by "debilitating"..

Hi

Ive always fancied the GI Jane Look, actually...

RE: Would you date an only child?

Thank you..

Of course, the privileges can be double-edged, enriching AND debilitating

But there is not doubt that an only child has all the focus..

Hi

Thank you very much, Amaryllis! And from what Ive seen of your posts already, I think you are a lady very much worth conversing with!! Nice to meet you..

RE: Would you date an only child?

Thank you, I was curious about the OP's thoughts..

Although, its tricky here NOT to do yet another sweeping generalisation on a particular stream of person..I doubt if every only child in this world has been privileged, but...

RE: Would you date an only child?

Trying not to laugh, but...




Im just curious, OP... Why do you think it would be different dating an only child, rather than one with siblings? Im interested...

Hi

Thank you both, for your welcome...!

Hi

Im not new to CS, but Im new to the EU Forum, so I thought Id say Hi!

I know quite alot of people on here already from the Intl Forum, but have just taken a break from CS of two months, and have decided to join the EU Forum debates as well, so I thought Id do as the rules suggest and "officially" introduce myself!!

RE: Are women more forward than they used to be

RE: On Being Friends

I think you can only remain friends, if you are BOTH in the same place, i.e. one of you wasnt more emotionally involved than the otehr. If one party is still feeling resentful, and still full of hurt feelings, etc, going back to having a purely friendship based relationship after meeting and possibly having intimacy, is almost impossible.

Burnt bridges, and all that.

Sometimes, you just HAVE to cut the tie completely, to avoid further angst..

RE: WOULD YOU?

Because I could see quite clearly that you two had met, and my point was about people who had NOT met.

My mistake!

RE: WOULD YOU?

Thats what I was saying, Gemini! You two HAD met; thats why I picked out your post..you misunderstood me..

My point was that, yeah, its great when you have met in person, like you, but alot of people broadcast it when they havent...

Up to the individual, of course, but by doing that, your in danger of "Cruisin' for a Bruisin"..

RE: WOULD YOU?

Its a different matter when you have actually MET someone in PERSON, and its going well, and you want to broadcast it. Great!

Its a bit premature, however, dont you think to broadcast that you are taken and no longer looking, when you have not even met the person? I know I'd feel damn stupid if I did that, and then I met them and the sight of them made my skin crawl, or visa versa...it happens...

RE: Lying about your age - is it acceptable? How much is acceptable?

I dont think the subject about which she lied is so important, as the fact that she thought that lying about ANYTHING was acceptable..conjures into one's head what else she has, or may, lie about that is more important..

To start contact with someone else with a blatant lie, is a big no no, and portrays a trait that might pervade far deeper into any relationship.

RE: me I`m off !!!!!!!!

I think thats a wonderful idea, ready, and I wish you luck and lots of fun.. Life's too short..

Been thinking about doing something similar, to be honest..

Enjoy...

RE: older the better

Id best get you over here quick, then, before the bodily functions start deteriating further...

RE: older the better

You wanna purchase some off me, Lag???

I give good price....

RE: older the better

Thank you very much, sweets..!

RE: WOULD YOU?

I brought this up in a thread the other day, sharing my feelings on coming back to CS after having a break, and what I had seen on the forums over the course of the last couple months. Went as follows:-

"I have had nice things happening in my personal life recently - THANKS TO CS FOR THAT!!, but I have decided not to broadcast them on the site for a couple of reasons. One, is that they are personal to me, and also that I feel it is ridiculous to claim you are “taken” by a fellow member you have NEVER EVEN MET, or only JUST MET. I personally would rather wait until things have become “real”, as in you have actually met the person, and spent a DECENT period of time getting to know each other in real life situations before going public. I have seen people on here one week still apparently looking for that “special someone”, to literally, the next week claiming they are taken and that they have found their soulmate... Or someone do a “Goodbye Thread or a Congratulate Us Thread”, and then the next week or so, be back on and single..Its crazy, and anyone who TRULY believes this could happen could be construed as being naïve and unrealistic, surely??"

It was just an observation on what I had seen going on.

I agree with Dru, also, however, each to their own in this world..

RE: older the better

As regards a "serious" relationship, I wouldnt now date anyone under 40, at the very least. Ideally, I want someone older. I just feel nicer that way..

Im 43, and want someone at least my own age or older. You are right; they GENERALLY know how to treat a lady better.

RE: How u can blame your partner?

Are you SURE youre a man, caspatch??

Seriously, you are absolutely right..

But men and women tend to deal with problems differently - the Cave Thing and the Women's Gathering Party thing..sometimes it can prove extremely difficult to get to even a starting point of confronting and discussing a potential problem.

I tend to think things through alot in my own mind generally, but sometimes I do feel the need to get other's trusted perspectives on things, which I think is a good thing; an objective, thought out opinion can be nothing but useful. We always have to make our OWN decisions, ultimately, but a little assistance along the way is always good. Thats not gossiping, its asking for sensible, objective advice, and only with people you trust.

I once discussed a past relationship problem with my mom; my partner at that point was even angry that I had done even that!

Suffice to say, he didnt last long after that!!

RE: long distance

Very true...

It CAN work to a point, but there does have to be a time when you have to make that decision that one of you makes the move to be near the other. That's the moment when you REALLY find out if the relationship is all you think it is - when it threatens to become more committed and regular.

Long distances CAN be used as an excuse to keep it unreal, no matter how close you appear to be...

RE: Is it polite?

Excellent...

Now I dont have to worry about your dilemma for the rest of the day, it was worrying me so..

Oke doke, back to the needlepoint and ironing...

RE: Is it polite?

Braced...

RE: Is it polite?

Firstly, are you serious??

Secondly, no one "informs" anyone they are going to marry them, unless it is the parents in an arranged marriage..

Thirdly, you may have "decided", but I would assume the lady would also like the chance to make up her own mind about the arrangment??
