RE: presistance

RE: presistance

Only if it's following an articulate aardvark. On alternate Tuesdays. But ONLY if they fall on odd-numbered days. And only when those are prime numbers. In months ending in "r".

RE: presistance

A resistance to persistence can develop when perseverance turns into demanding insistence thereby by necessitating at least ONE of the parties to seek assistance in overcoming their (obviously) misguided preconceptions regarding the intentions of the unreceptive party.

Does this help?

OMFG!!!!!

RE: IS KISSING IMPORTANT TO YOU?

A kiss should be slow, soft and deep...when you kiss your partner, nothing else in the world should exist...only her...only what you feel...and share.

Hi all.

RE: Have you noticed...

Another glitch I had noticed before they did maintenance was flowers/email from areas that were NOT filtered sometimes ended up in the filterboxes. Haven't had that problem since...so far.

Strange about the time thing though. It's all in the coding. Maybe they need a new codemonkey for the site??

RE: What Just Happened?

Did the same to me. Server maintenance perhaps?

RE: Why did the CS site go down in the UK and Ireland tonight?

It went down here too. No idea why except maybe server maintenance?
Anyone know where this site is based out of? Could have been a power outage there.

RE: If you met a person and felt you needed to escape them what would you do?

The question says "escape them". That implies several things...all negative. The direct and honest approach is almost always going to be best except perhaps when you don't don't want to hurt someone's feelings. Even so, you can almost always be honest with someone without hurting their feelings. You just have to be a little diplomatic.

RE: Are men afraid of strong independent women?

The 50/50 refers to each partner's contribution as a percentage based on 100% You know? 50+50=100? While it's nice to think that each can contribute 100% to the relationship and yes, as individuals each CAN, I was referring to a division of responsibilities within the relationship. You seem to have misunderstood the reference.

Anyone have dating horror stories?

I guess my point to this is that if we can learn anything from someone elses' bad experience and avoid repeating the mistake, it's a very good thing. No, I'm not being negative. I just want people to be safe.

RE: Are men afraid of strong independent women?

HEAR, HEAR!!! Just so!!

RE: 8 days and counting since my last cigarette.

I quit about 1 1/2 months ago now. I'm using the patch because I decided it would work best. Also, after smoking for 41 years, (yes, I said 41) I figure I need help. I'm at the point where I can drink without going nuts wanting a smoke, I can drive without it, drink coffee, etc. I do believe it's going VERY well but am going to stay on the patch for the recommended time. I'm not going to take any chances.

Cheers and kudos to all you fellow quitters!! May we all STAY tobacco-free!!

Anyone have dating horror stories?

I'll start it off with something that happened to a friend of mine back home.

This young woman I know had placed an ad on a dating site. Since she was cute and had a great personality, she got TONS of responses. She began corresponding with this one fellow who certainly had the gift of gab and seemed to be very nice. After a fair bit of chatting (online and on phone) they decided they would meet. Now this fellow was out on the Prairies, said he was 1/2 owner of an auto tire/service business and since she couldn't take time off, he said he would come to her.

When he arrived (by bus) he had no money. (said his wallet was stolen in Northern Ontario). Hmmmm He couldn't get any for a while since he didn't have his bank card or any id for that matter. Hmmmmmm Soooo, he stayed with her at her house.

I think you might see where this is going. As it turned out, he was NOT 1/2 owner of the business...he worked there. He had no money because he spent the last of it on the trip east. The young woman let him stay with her because they just seemed to get along so well and it didn't matter to her that he had not been entirely honest with her.

He got a job, thanks to her father, and they settled into what she thought was a great relationship. Within a few months, he started going out to party a bit with the guys from work. Sometimes, he had too much to drink and didn't go home til the next morning. Within a few weeks, the young woman started getting some unusual problems in her groin area. It got so bad that she ended up in the hospital. He had given her herpes and she had left it too long before seeking medical help.

She recovered nicely but was of the opinion that now, no-one else would want her so she stayed with the guy who had traveled from out west to be with her. They're still together. (the last I heard)

Isn't this a story to warm the cockles of your heart? They were a match made in heaven, obviously.

All this happened in the late 90's and is a true story. I worked with the young woman and knew her Dad quite well.

Ok, who's got another one?

RE: Are men afraid of strong independent women?

50/50 in a relationship is good and yes, I believe that it's one of those "give and take" aspects that are always going to be changing but the baseline should be (for me at least) 50/50.

Case in point: I was in one relationship where the woman was firmly of the opinion that SHE knew best...in all things. She decided that hers was the only opinion that mattered and because of that, tried to be a domineering, bullying b**ch. When told that is wasn't going to work out between us, she suddenly became sweet as sugar not realizing that it was much too late...she had shown her true colors (thank God). Just goes to show that a leopard can't change it's spots. It was a blessedly BRIEF relationship as a result.

I guess all I'm saying is that being a strong, independent woman doesn't mean that you treat your partner like a doormat. THAT kind of woman certainly WILL scare guys off...unless they're INTO that kind of thing. lol

To me, a relationship is a partnership. Both opinions matter, NOBODY gets treated like crap, you TALK to each other and if there are differing opinions, you EACH compromise and work it out.

RE: Are men afraid of strong independent women?

GIV'ER!! I'm on the back step

Go ahead!! Bet'cha I can dodge it!!

silly rabbits!!

RE: Are men afraid of strong independent women?

I think a strong woman is marvelous. That's what I'm looking for in a partner.

RE: Being contacted from those in other countries....

I sincerely hope everything works out for you. I wish you happiness.

RE: How far would you go?

I'm sorta/kinda stuck where I'm at. Not really ABLE to just "take off" for wherever. AWOL, I believe it's called?? The MP's would track me down sooner or later...lol I actually had one woman tell me that I was selfish and self-centered for that reason..go figure.

If not for that minor detail, I believe I would travel a fair distance for the right person.

Photos on profiles

Yup. You're absolutely right. There are so many reasons why people might not...but I guess for wingnuts like me, it makes more sense to post one. lol...I may not be pretty, but I'm real.

I actually DO know of a woman in the military who was in an instructor's position and who got into a wee bit of trouble with her chain-of-command for having a profile on a dating site. It seems that some students found it and were somewhat amused by that. To me, that seemed very childish.

Photos on profiles

I've also heard it said that some women don't post photos BECAUSE they're very pretty and that they get e-mails of a type they don't want (ie: requests for intimate encounters) when they have a pic posted. Anyone had that experience? Women OR men?

RE: Being contacted from those in other countries....

I have to say, reading a few of these posts has almost caused me to have an accident!! I've had some REALLY good laughs.

I'm one of those people who try to find my fun wherever it pops up and the scammers are GREAT fun to play with! I find that turning the tables on them is GOBS of fun...lol You can string them along for weeks at a time before they finally spit the hook and dive for the bottom. Then again, I also have great sport with telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen. I've also been known to try and convert door-to-door evangelical canvassers to whatever brand of hedonistic silliness pops into my head when I answer the door. (A friend of mine used to answer the door naked) Gotta watch out for us Maritimers!!

I think what I'm trying to say is that it's the NET, people!! There ARE those of us who are EXACTLY who and what we say we are...then there are the bottom-feeders. If we do it right and stay smart, there is an unlimited amount of fun to be had with the latter group. Let's have at 'em I say....torment 'em til they beg for mercy and run for cover!! Give 'em a collective
