I'm really flattered you think so, but you know what my rating is on that photo... like 6.1 last time I checked just a few days ago. I don't know what it takes to "catch some gal's eye" these days but apparently I'm not it.
That's not my favorite photo though I do like the fireplace going right behind me... my actual favorite is the pic with Meeka on my shoulder fishing for the tag under my collar. I had that as my primary pic on here for almost 2 years, and got like 1 or 2 profile views a month...
I finally switched to my current primary pic this past September, and I actually get 1 or 2 profile views a day most days now... but always from gals from far far away, not near me.
You'll find that's a pretty common complaint most every single male online has. That and the fact that there's just soooo many more men online looking than there are women, and many of the women's profiles are fake... it get's pretty depressing in fact.
Hmmm... let's start with the obvious: A female homo-sapian please! Born that way too (believe me you meet all kinds these days I swear).
But to elaborate further: slender/fit figure, long hair (I love long hair on a woman!), takes good care of herself. No children from previous relationships, would even feel more comfortable if she'd never been married (as I haven't)... a pet ferret or two would be really nice, they're just sooooo cute!
Funny, can take a joke and give as good as she gets! A good personality is an obvious must (don't get me started on some of the bad dates I've endured). It'd be nice to have some common activities and interests, things to do together... I like movies, rollerblading and going boating in the summertime (I suck at waterskiing but am pretty good at the kneeboard!).
A little shorter than I would be nice (I'm 5'10"), somebody I can sweep up into my arms and carry across the room ya know? I'm a true romantic at heart and I love that kinda stuff, evenings spent by the fireplace talking or watching movies or...
Finally, no drugs period as I'm not "420 friendly", non-smoker a must (love sweet kisses, not smokey ones yukk!), light casual drinker at most.
That's about all I can think of right now. Yeah I know the odds are stacked against me on this... I'd consider any of Tiger Woods former mistress' however!
Yuppers. I agree completely. Also virtually every single woman on that site has children from her previous relationships... every one of them! If you're uncomfortable being around other people's kids (like I am), this does not work well for you.
I want somebody to go rollerblading with at the park, or boating and waterskiing with at the lake, or to share a bottle of wine with in the hottub on my backporch on New Year's Eve... but that ain't gonna happen if history is any indicator.
Oh and holidays are about the worst time of the year to be single, yet again. I've never had a girlfriend to shop for a Christmas gift for, or a Valentine's Day gift for either for that matter. It is depressing, with all the advertising on TV showing people shopping for their husdbands and wives and boyfriends and girlfriends... it's like sticking a hot poker into an open wound every time. I've always been on the outside looking in...
I find this to be about the most depressing time of the year in fact.
Wrong! Everybody thinks they're "nice"... few ever bother to take a good long look at themselves in the mirror, or a good long look at how they act/behave towards others... so there are probably tons of "nice" men and women everywhere, but you probably wouldn't want to know or date them.
Now the ratio of single women to single men in an area is another thing entirely (and what I thought this topic was about when I saw it)... where I live, the Houston Texas area, there are around 70,000 MORE single men than single women according to a CBS news story I saw a few years ago! Everywhere I go around here there's plenty of couples and single males, but realatively few single females (who aren't like BBW's or pregnant with their ex's love child... very "nice" I'm sure). My observations are that most places here there can be found around 10 single men for every 1 single woman... it's an impossible ratio to work with. I feel totally hopeless these days.
Given the right company, I love to be very romantic... black cherry scented candles, a fire in the fireplace, incense, and flavored massage oil. What's not to like?
Be mad, and learn from the experience. Things aren't always as they seem... I'm thinking here of the "Crocodile Dundee" movie where Dundee is flirting with this "woman" at a bar and another guy whispers in Dundee's ear and Dundee reaches and grabs the "woman's" crotch to check and finds something that shouldn't have been there!
LMAO! ROF!
So it's not like meeting women at bars is necessarily any better or safer than trying to meet somebody online. At least online you don't have to pay for drinks.
Well ya'll, there was a case some years ago where a Texas A&M student in Bryan, TX went on spring break to meet his "online girlfriend" over in San Antonio and never came back... when the police finally accessed his computer at the dorm weeks later and read his instant messages they found the address of his "girlfriend" and went knocking on that door in San Antonio, and found a man lived there. The guy had the student's credit cards and from examining HIS computer it was obvious the man had been pretending to be a woman IM'ing the A&M student for over a month.
The student's body was finally found dumped at the end of dead-end road (pun?) near a large ranch just outside of San Antonio.
So yeah if the other person you've been communicating with online avoids having telephone communications with you, or wants you to just come on over to "her" place... be suspicious, be VERY VERY suspicious!
ps. I don't know if the man who killed the student was gay or bi or whatever, it was never reported... only that he'd killed the student when he showed up at the guy's place and then dumped the body. I believe the guy got the death penalty for it too. Good riddance to bad rubbish... makes me wish Texas still had the Electric Chair cause this fella really deserves it!
So "she" has internet access, but no phone? This would have set off red-flags in my mind instantly right there! This says that for some strange reason this person doesn't want you to hear "her" voice and you probably won't like the reason why.
Learn from your mistakes, unless you've talked to somebody on the phone you DON'T go out trying to meet them, and you meet them 1st in a public place not at a private addy!!!
If they don't have transportation to get to a public restaurant or movie theatre or coffee shop (but strangely they have no problem with internet access), again you probably don't want to waste any more time on them.
There's all sorts of really weird people in this world most of which you really don't want to waste your time on. Make sure before you get your hopes up, you're dealing with the real genuine thing... make sure the person you're chatting with for hours on end is really the person you think they are! That means talking on the phone some, then meeting somewhere in public.
I know, bad economy though... makes me nervous about going into debt on a new place, and makes it pretty much impossible to sell my existing place. I kinda feel trapped here.
My house is nice: brick fireplace in the living room, hottub on the backporch, 3 acres of land with a pine tree grove some large live oaks and a sizeable pond running across the property... it's those properties around mine that have become the problem. The nerighborhood has gotten really bad with idiots on top of idiots out here now! Packs of dogs have formed... almost nobody bothers to contain or control their pets (no leash laws here either, and I seriously doubt anybody here has their animals vaccinated but me). It's very frustrating.
What would be awesome would be to lease my place out to somebody who'd like to farm pigs!!! Oh how that would tickle me to death!
Snow is sooo pretty though... we had some flurries down here around the Houston area Dec. 4th. At times it seemed like a blizzard, but by sunset it quit and all melted away overnight. Everybody was sooo excited to see snow here though, it's a very rare treat for us.
My lawn mower actually has an option for a front mounted snow blower and I've seen a few of the blowers designed for it for sale on Ebay and I sooo wanted one for it... but why? LOL!
3 kids, teenagers, decided to go out in the woods right behind my house and "play" with their guns today around noon... bullets were hitting my house, I grabbed a rifle of mine and the cell phone and ran onto the front porch and called the sheriff's department requesting they send a deputy out here immediately as somebody was shooting guns in my backyard and bullets were hitting the roof of my house... it took nearly 2 hours to get a deputy out here while over 100 rounds of ammo were fired off in every direction by these 3 idiots! It was like Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam in rapid succession at times!
Once a deputy finally showed up (they'd finally ran out of ammo I guess about 20 minutes before the deputy arrived) he went house to house till he found them and they admitted to having been playing with their guns out in the woods behind my house. 15 and 16 year olds! I was at one point within an inch of returning fire... yeah it was that bad and that dangerous with their shots going every direction at random! The kicker is the deputy came back and told me that they had not actually broken any laws but that he would be calling their parents to tell them how close their kids got to being killed today! Talk about insane I swear... I ache all over from the tension tonight.
So yeah I've had a rough day.
What kind of idiots let their children go out and play with guns with no supervision whatsoever? Why on earth did it take over an hour to get a deputy out here, during which time over 100 shots were fired off? I called their dispatch like 4 times pleading for a deputy telling them I was now armed and prepared to return fire if bullets came into my yard again... it was nuts I swear!
Funny I can't really recall the last time I lost my mind speaking to a pretty woman... much less, women! I feel burdened by this....
I keep checking the Who Viewed Me several times a day and honestly I think I'm getting smarter and smarter every time... nowhere near to losing my mind here. It's so sad.
I need a nice long massage... I wonder if any of Tiger Wood's mistress' are available? Would he loan me one for the evening at least (2 would be damned generous even!)? It's not like he doesn't have enough after all!
Wow! That sounds just like Tiger Woods strategy has been!
Who knew?
What's he up to 13 or so mistress' now? God what I wouldn't give to date just 1 woman... I can't imagine 13 attractive women all wanting to be with me!
I'm not sure I understand the timeline here... did he return to the US and while you were communicating thru e-mail and so on he fell in love with somebody here and got engaged to her (at least, I sure hope it was a her!)... or was he engaged to somebody here the entire time he was over there hanging out (or more?) with you and kinda neglected to mention that he was engaged?
Ergo, what'd he do that you feel made you feel this way about the situation? How much time passed from when he was in your neighborhood and then back in the US and engaged?
I would be flattered, as long as she had something to say... calling just to say "I'm sooo bored" is not a good conversation starter. If you're calling somebody, have something to talk about on your mind... the weather, the Tiger Woods scandle going on, something besides "I'm sooo bored".
Oh and no monologues... if you're talking for more than 60 seconds at a time, then that's not "talking" that's dictating... good conversation involves both people talking and listening and commenting in turn. If you're going on and on and never giving the other person a chance to say anything, well that's just not good conversation... and along the same lines, if you're talking and talking and the other person doesn't have much to say when you give them the chance, then the other person must not be very interested in what you're talking about so change to another subject please!
Those are the biggest mistakes I've found women making when it comes to conversation in general. I love good conversation but it seems to be a lost art generally speaking these days.
If something happens while it's in the middle of moving data from 1 part of the drive to another, "defragmenting" your files on the drive, it can corrupt the hard drive. Ie. If you're running the defragmenter on a PC and the power goes out at just the right millisecond while it's writing data it can cause corruption and at that point your mileage will vary as to whether the drive will be bootable when you get the power back on again.
The damage isn't to the drive's physical disk, it's too the logical structures that allow data to be saved on the drive's disk. If damaged badly enough the computer may be unable to boot the OS from the drive, and at that point a reformat and re-install of the OS will probably be required.
Defragmenting occassionally is a good thing, but it doesn't need to be done daily or anything and you sure don't want to do it when there's any chance of the system going down in the middle of the defragmentation routine. Under normal usage, defragmenting your drive periodically should never cause any problems and will keep the system healthy.
