RE: happiness without money, is it possible in couple?

Yes. Almost always. Nowadays more people get their theology from Pink Floyd songs than the actual scriptures.

RE: How about a category for Hobbies.

Clever!

RE: I need a SIMPLE recipe for Bean Soup

I thought you said Keep it SIMPLE?

One tip I know, when boiling beans, add a splash of olive oil. Helps keep the beans from getting stuck together at the bottom of the pot before they come to a full boil.

RE: A question for the guys.

You posted an interesting question, originally, and while I felt obliged to make a joke for starters, I'd like to address that question. Specifically, what behaviors turn guys on or off, as opposed to traits or qualities? I think rephrasing it like that (if I may?) clarifies. I would say, it's the traits or qualities that spark initial attraction, and the behaviors (which can only be observed later, over time) that later cause disaffection. This, of course, would apply equally to both genders.

So what to do? A guy who likes you might loathe some of your behaviors, but he hasn't seen them yet. Best I can suggest is, stay aware of the impression you make (both guys and gals) on your partner as the relationship grows. Don't let familiarity breed contempt.

My second wife, for instance, had a habit that just drove me bonkers. No matter how big the table, how much space there was on it, or how close it was, she had to set whatever she was drinking barely off the edge, as if daring it to fall on the floor, which it often did. I can't count how many times I said, Honey, your coffee cup/Coke/juice/beer/whatever is about to fall off the table. Had she been paying attention, she'd have realized eventually this simple behavior bothered me. Far as I know, though, she still does it. To be fair, I'm sure she could say something similiar about me. We're all guilty, both men and women. Best we can do is try to learn and do better.

RE: A question for the guys.

Mind you, I am only referring to one past relationship here...

RE: Men, give us your pearls of wisdom! A woman should be....

I think the idea that men in general prefer stick-thin women is a myth perpetuated by the backlash against the fashion industry.

The preferences of men are as diverse as the body shapes of women.

RE: How is it possible to post in a locked thread?

Some have said there is a page limit, but I understood the limit was 1000 replies, which could be more or less pages depending on their length. However, if you search "All Threads" and re-sort the results by Replies, you will find quite a few with more than 1000. Most of them are "Get-Together" threads, but not all. "Zionist Occupied America" shows 1014 responses. Several others have 1004 or 1003. The message I saw when I attempted to post to the "Say Anything Thread," which had just reached 1000 replies, said the thread had been locked due to the number of replies (I can't recall the exact wording). So possibly when a thread reaches 999, a flurry of near-simultaneous posts can all sneak in at once.

RE: Just got compliment that....

Someone said that to me a few days ago. It didn't bother me. But I assumed she meant some inner beauty or such, rather than my good looks.

RE: A 'mature' males perspective

Look up at the top of your screen, where it says My Home, Search, Mailbox, Flowerbox....keep going to where it says Rate Photos. Give that one a try and you'll discover you can rate all sorts of people's photos without viewing their profile (or even knowing their member name). So if someone voted 1 on your pic, it coulda been anybody.

And I still think it was not a brilliant idea to advertise it.

RE: How do you spend your free time as a single?

Well, nothing new. Plutarch's Lives, the Yale Shakespeare, and some anthology of English Romantic Poets. But I'm still wading through the other one, which at least has picked up considerably.

RE: How do you spend your free time as a single?

G'morning ML.

To some degree yes.

But I got some new books yesterday.

RE: Nisam vise svoja...samo tvoja

Hard breakup, huh? Sorry to hear that. ????? ????.

RE: Sanela

Perhaps a hug would help?

RE: A 'mature' males perspective

Wouldn't be very quick, you being on the other side of the Atlantic. As for the painful embarassment, well, you'll get over it.

RE: A 'mature' males perspective

Would you beat me up if I said you were cute?

RE: A 'mature' males perspective

CS only identifies those who voted 9 or 10 on your photo. So there is no way you could know who voted 1 unless that person told you privately. And private might be where it shoulda stayed, 'cause why would you want to go around publicly announcing that anyone voted a 1 on your pic?

RE: In defence of religion

Good morning Boban.

RE: In defence of religion

Who is saying negative things now?

RE: Space

Good morning Ali.

RE: emails and messages

Yeah it pretty much obliterates any budding romantic fantasies.

For a real eye-opener, check out this side-by-side listing of scammer photos and actual scammers:

RE: emails and messages

I'm not just guessing, though. I actually made some half-assed attempt to research the question.



As you'll see from the Vote Breakdown there, women claim to receive many many more emails (including obvious scammers) than men claim to. As evidence goes, it is only anecdotal, yes, but better than no evidence at all.

As for your own cobwebbed inbox, I will be happy to email you myself, if you like?

RE: Hey Y'all, Share Something Interesting With Me...

You're not from California originally, are ya Saved?

RE: what are the real intentions behind Alien´s presence on earth ?

You forgot to use your emoticon.

RE: emails and messages

There's little they could do that wouldn't amount to making this a pay site. As long as it remains free (Yay! Woohoo!), they must depend on advertising revenues to support all our tomfoolery ( ). To attract advertiser dollars, they must attract as many viewers -- members -- as possible. So every bozo scammer that opens a membership just to pester you with pleas to join them at their y,a,h,o,o, addy is in fact lightening the dollar-load on you.

RE: Australia sens refugees back to death

Ya think?

RE: Hey Y'all, Share Something Interesting With Me...

As my Dad is wont to tell me (time and again, and again), "Sooner or later, everyone quits smoking."

To which I cheerily respond, "Dad, didn't you smoke for 40 years?"

After which he usually changes the subject.

RE: Australia sens refugees back to death

To back it up? Sure he does! Bumping his own thread. Works every time.
