RE: are they really sure what they want?

Steve, it doesn't matter. A laugh means the girl is having fun, and as we all know "girls just want to have fun". And of course, the cute butt is a PLUS! :)

Browsing the Profiles

I've been married so many times that when I hear the wedding march, I say "Gee, they're playing my song." I vote for shacking up too!

RE: Blind date anyone?

Poor tree is getting a workout lately....

RE: Blind date anyone?

Hummmmm and what will he say to that? :)

RE: Why.............Answers?

Patience is a virtue and we all get tired of being virtuous sometimes, don't we :) I'll send anyone a flower who wants one. Even you, mrlister, even though I probably cannot afford to keep you in the style you are accustomed to...lol!

RE: The subject of income

You mean kids from previous relationships or future kids? If it's future kids, their expenses should be shared in a way agreeable to both parties. My style has always been to pay for my children's expenses and not expect a man coming into their life to start paying their bills.

RE: The subject of income

I don't worry about a man's income. It's up to him. I've always had separate accounts and I pay my expenses. He pays his. No joint accounts.

RE: What is the first thing that attracts you to a potential mate in physical appearance?

Nah, I think the elf was hotter lol!

But I agree about hair, and it gets tough to find guys with hair, especially long hair when you get into my age bracket.

Browsing the Profiles

Being that it's a rainy day, I've been browsing profiles on this site and others. As I look at the people who "match" me, it occurs to me that I would be interested in having them as friends, but might not feel we are a "match" in a relationship. Is it OK to contact them, even though I'm not attracted to them in a romantic way?

What Makes You Different?

This is tougher to answer than I thought :) My one unique feature is my feet - I had bunion surgery and my big toes are a little shorter. And how many farmers do you know who have a Masters degree. Finally, I do think that I am an non-judgmental listener, which makes me an excellent friend.

What Makes You Different?

What is it that makes you different from everyone else here? What do you think is your best feature?

RE: What is the first thing that attracts you to a potential mate in physical appearance?

I've always been attracted to tall, slim, rugged looking guys with a twinkle in their eyes. If they turn out to be intelligent, funny and sober they are definitely my type!

RE: What is it that Men want?

Yep, don't wait to close the barn door after the horse has bolted.

RE: "What makes a great day on 20$ to spend??.

I like the idea of the lake, bread, wine and cheese, too. See ladies, these guys can be thoughtful and romantic if they want to be. And notice, it doesn't really cost much.....it's mostly the thought that counts.

RE: What weird emails you have received

I've had guys as young as 28 contact me. They must be looking for their lost mommy. And the ones that say "I'm going to visit your area this summer" - I think no, I'm not a hotel. And lots of emails with very bad spelling. I guess I am quirky because bad spelling in a message makes me less likely to write back. One thing that turns me off when I read a profile is long, sad stories about the person's previous relationship - not something I need to know right off.

RE: Does my account work?

Well, we should send him a flower, and an email so he knows that this thing works, what do you say, ladies :)

RE: What do women want?

Romance

Fortune Cookie

I opened a fortune cookie today and it said, "You will enjoy good health; you will be surrounded by luxury". Not bad, huh? When you open your next fortune cookie, what do you hope it will say?

Did You know...

Oh boy, I think he put his foot in it this time! I think I'm insulted but I'm not quite sure why :)

RE: Can you ever have it all?

I've never had a relationship without flaws and I'm still looking for the love of my life. I have had passion in two relationships, but both men had addictions which came between us. I think that passion is mandatory and i refuse to have any relationship where passion is lacking or dies!

Polite Replies

I have become rather bold (at least for me) lately and have been sending flowers to men who I find attractive through their pictures or from what they write in their profiles. I have been surprised to get nice, polite replies back, thanking me for the contact and stating what they are looking for in a mate. I find this VERY attractive in a man, even if they say they are too far away or have requirements that I do not fit. KUDOS for polite men! I think us ladies should do the same for each man who contacts us.

Did You know...

That women get to see who are the "most popular men" in the search options, but don't get to see who the "most popular women" are?

RE: True Friendships ? or Relationships ?

Happens all the time - don't take it personally.

RE: What do women want?

Humm, are we talking about size in reference to how tall or something else. Same with the strength part - can he lift heavy objects or can he go all night? This could be the start of another dangerous topic - The Famous "Size Matters" debate. Has that been discussed here? LOL

RE: What is your favorite season and why?

I love the Fall with cool nights and warm days. After the first frost, all the mosquitos are gone!!

RE: where did you come up with your screenname?

Welcome, Buffdive - intersting life you have with all that traveling.

RE: where did you come up with your screenname?

When i was a child, my next door neighbor lady and I made a scarecrow for her garden and named the scarecrow "arabella".

When The Romance Dies...

Let's say your're in a relationship. When the two of you were dating, your partner was romantic and made you feel wonderful. Now that your relationship is official, things are changing. Your partner is no longer romantic and does not reciprocate your romantic gestures. What do you do???

RE: what your state or province is famous for

Ah, yes, potatoes. And I forgot the Common Ground Fair, Johnny's Seeds and L.L. Bean :)

RE: What's Your Sign?

I'm a Scorpio, and I did go to that website and got my free analysis. The results were amazingly accurate- described me very well. Now I know why I don't have a man at the moment lol.
