RE: This is degrading, immoral,humillating,and probably illegal...

Quilted Northern, thank you for asking.

RE: red flags.

OMG, neither would I!

RE: what do women want most?

Agreed, those would be mutual as well with me. I should have amended them as well.

RE: Helllloooooooooooo CS!!!!!!!

Good to see you're in a good mood, Az!

Oops.

Ah, but the weirdos are becoming more endearing, especially after going to other forums on other dating sites. I like the people here better.

Though I've seen some familiar faces elsewhere too.

RE: what do women want most?

If they can't cope with it, then I can't cope with them.

RE: what do women want most?

You said it, Lethal.

I'll add someone with a passion for life and a positive attitude.

RE: red flags.

Yes, that would be a good one, Thumper.

Neither are your chances of finding love, or avoiding scammers. I'll save my money for other things.

CS Forums Rocks...

Hi, Dave!!! Yes, but it really is the best forums of any free site so far, and I'm not trying any pay sites.

I've tried it, Taino, but I haven't found another like this. It's user-friendly, the people are friendly, the threads are easy to see and participate in, and we talk to each other. I don't see that in most others at all, even if they are active.

One gal recently mentioned that another dating site had forums that were better, the people were more mature. I've checked them out last night and today, and I totally disagree. Ick. I won't be going back in the forums there. However, I'm finding the profiles there more interesting for local men, and have made a couple of contacts.

I've recently gone out and explored some forums on other sites, some of which were recommended by others I know. Maybe I've been spoiled by CS International Forums being the first ones I ever posted in, but I haven't found that there are any out there that are better, at least on free dating sites.

CS and my fellow forum posters, you guys ROCK!

RE: i found the one

These are the ones who pop out of the woodwork that I don't mind. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your happy story with us. I wish you the best of luck!

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Excellent post, Athenz. And I do love my lifestyle. I don't want it to become permanent, for I would love to have another partner some day, but until I find him I enjoy being single too. Yes, it gets lonely sometimes, but it has its benefits as well.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

You're welcome, Larry. Go out and do something that lifts your spirits, something you enjoy. Or watch a good comedy.

When I feel like that, I put good music on that I enjoy and clean my house. Believe it or not, that lifts my spirits. If that doesn't work, I break out one of my drums and play it along with the music, then I call a friend or go for a drive to one of my favorite trails and I feel better. But do things that will help you to feel positive about life or yourself. We all get frustrated and we all have negative moods. It's choosing to do something about it that makes the difference.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

I've been played a lot in my life, too, Larry. I just don't let it make me see everyone as being that way, and I don't let it get me down. I just go on with my life, take a breather for a bit to recover, then take a chance again. You're not alone in this, and men do it to us, too.

And nobody was ganging up on you, we took offense to your offensive words. None here have ever claimed to be so good and perfect that I've seen...though I have seen some here say "I'm not looking for TRASH", which makes it seem that they feel that they're above a lot of others. Nobody is trash. So yes, people like that might need to take a look at self.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Larry, may I make a suggestion that perhaps it is time that you take a break?

You had a more positive attitude in the beginning, but I've seen you become more negative over time. I still remember the wonderful threads you did about keeping the fires burning, and the positive things you had to say there...but it was months ago. Sometimes if it's starting to get to us, we do need to take a break from looking, or our frustration begins to make everything in our lives seem negative. Keeping your balance is important, and can require some more focus on our inner selves and on our lives offline for a little bit.

Seriously, if you're feeling it's that hopeless, then a break might do you good.

RE: What kind of man can really satisfy a woman in bed?

So start one, John. I've seen threads about what turns men on and such...start one with what you want to see in it.

RE: THE GIFT,,,,

Excellent post, Wall. All very true.

RE: What kind of man can really satisfy a woman in bed?

I've never heard it put that way...OMG, that was funny! I love it!

Sadly, I've also known some of those along the way.

RE: What kind of man can really satisfy a woman in bed?

Exactly. And who cares enough to find what satisfies her.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

And that's when it is time to take a break, Westie, and take some time to get yourself back together. That's what I do when I feel that way. I stop looking, and change all of my profiles to reflect that I'm not looking. If you need to, hide your profile for a bit, and take some time to pursue other activities and focus on bringing more positive energy into your life.

It's hard to attract someone if we don't feel attractive in some way. Blessings on your journey.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Cool! I hope it goes well! If nothing else, I hope you have fun and enjoy the date.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Good think you saw this before I did, LF. I don't know if I'd have been quite as kind, which is why I'm just agreeing with you.

I have to ask the same thing...if you feel that way, then you feel you're part of the bottom of a dirty barrel too. And if you feel that's all we are, why are you here, Larry?

Some of us weren't rejected by our last love, they died. Some of us left unhealthy relationships and made ourselves healthier before looking for another. I think many here are the top of a clean barrel...they're positive, funny, intelligent, and have their lives and themselves together. I will agree that I don't feel you're one of those because you're very negative.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Yes, John, it does. I feel the same way. I discovered that I joined here and other sites long before I was actually done mourning and ready to love again. But I did find that here I had support from a wonderful group of people, many of whom have become friends, that helped me through that time. And now, I'm ready to love again when it happens.

I'll go back to the fact, then, that the right one hasn't come along. When it's time, they will. I do wish you luck in finding her, John. I know how much you want someone special to spend the rest of your life with, and to travel with you.

RE: I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!

Good for you, Suzy! Blessings. My advice is not to take more classes than you can handle with your family/job situation so that you don't overdo it on the stress. Take a couple of courses to start, and be careful of burn-out. Don't forget you still need "me" time.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Ah, this is what she meant...okay, then the right one hasn't come along for either of you. When they do, it will be mutual. And maybe you're not as ready as you think you are.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Is this in general, or is there someone in particular who is interested in you, but you don't return the feeling? Hard to respond further without clarification of this, LF.

RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Good post, Taino! Sometimes I look around, see who's out there, and if someone catches my eye, I'll contact them. Other times, I just sit back on cruise control. I won't shut the doors because nobody can walk in a closed door, but I'm not in a hurry either. It happens when it does. Will I ever stop hoping? No. When and if it's meant to be, love will happen. In the meantime, I keep living my life and enjoying it.
