RE: New Aussie Bloke

Welcome aboard! Good luck in your quest.

RE: why does it seem , women from other countries will respond more and are friendlier than women here

Dressed and ready to go now, but one last reply before I log off. I didn't respond to others in the thread because I had been either asleep or in the shower. When I logged on this morning, it was only for a short time. I didn't (don't) have time to reply to a lot. Can't speak for previous slammer or bashers, J.D....only saying it is unfair to paint all of any group with the same brush.
Anyway, must run. I do wish you well.

What do you men think.....

Was just about to log off to go to sleep, but I must respond to this one.
So, I'm on vacation, wanting to enjoy island nightlife and not to sit bored in my hotel room and the solution is......


Buy a dog???????

RE: Question

No offense taken whatsoever. I thought I was just answering your question. If it came across as if I was taking offense, then I didn't express myself well, I suppose. But I took no offense.

What do you men think.....

I would be honored.
Must head off to bed now. Goodnight, all.

What do you men think.....

I just know that I will want to take in some nightlife while on vacation...the whole atmosphere, you know? People out walking along the water, lines of cafes and bars and clubs with lots of activity. I won't want to sit in my hotel room and watch t.v., that's for sure. And so I WILL go in where I choose to, enjoy a drink or two, people watch, and listen to the music. I'll work on getting over the awkward feeling.

What do you men think.....

I have no intention of asking someone to buy me a drink. Yes, these things happen, but it's kind of irrelevant to my initial question. Thanks for responding, though.

RE: Question

I change mine from time to time for 2 reasons, neither of which was what you suggested as a possible reason.

For one thing, today I added a picture of me with my eyeglasses. I did that because I responded to the thread about glasses and I thought it was appropriate to show that I do indeed wear glasses often. I also change some to reflect as accurately as possible what I am looking like now (other than the one photo I had of me as a child). I removed a few of my older photos and updated them with more recent images.
That's all. No hidden agenda.

What do you men think.....

I don't mind a bit! Thanks, Rose. Hope you're well and happy!

What do you men think.....

I do. Kapiche, that is. Thanks for the reply....and the

RE: Imagine how would be a party with all CS forumists...

Ahhhh, but I beg to differ. Certainly there are the islands that attract a lot of tourists. But there are some incredibly beautiful places that haven't gone that route yet. For example, Milos. Or Sifnos. Or many others. Beautiful sea, mountains, lovely villages with fishing boats in the harbor, etc.

RE: Imagine how would be a party with all CS forumists...

That's a tough question. There are so many beautiful islands to choose from. But one of my favorites is Kefalonia for the beautiful beaches (go to Google images and look up "Myrtos Beach"). For ultimate scenic beauty, Santorini is incredible. For party atmosphere, Mykonos is always hopping. There are so many choices, though.

RE: Imagine how would be a party with all CS forumists...

Might I suggest a beautiful Greek island???

What do you men think.....

For sure.
One tequila,
two tequila,
three tequila,
Floor!

What do you men think.....

Crotch-groping and come-hither smiles....be still my heart.
Add a cheesy intro line and I simply melt.

What do you men think.....

It IS a shame, really. I enjoy conversation and when I am on vacation, I particularly like meeting other travelers or those who live in the place I am visiting. It's a shame that more of us don't just reach out and speak to someone near us without worrying about how it will be received.

What do you men think.....

Funny story about being alone in a bar. I was in Shanghai, China. I went one night to a very nice bar on the 63rd floor of a building that housed a major hotel. The view was spectacular; the city and river below were stunning. After one drink, I decided to move down to the piano bar, 3 floors down. I'd grown tired of watching all the romance going on around me. Anyway, I get to the piano bar and I ordered a drink. There was a musical trio playing that night; they were on break when I arrived. I got my drink and the band came back onstage. Again, the view around me was spectacular, but many couples around me making googly eyes at each other. The band's first song was.....

"Are you Lonesome Tonight?"

Their second song:

"The Way We Were"

The third song:

"Think About You Now" (a Gloria Estefan song).

At that, I said, "Check, please", paid up and left.

Toasting yourself and congratulating yourself over a bottle of wine in Sorrento....I LIKE the sound of that, Vonney! Here's another toast to you.

What do you men think.....

I kinda like the ring of "My name is Bombay....DOCTOR Bombay."

What do you men think.....

Thanks for the responses. Interestingly, my thoughts are being substantiated by what you men are telling me. There IS a stigma associated with being a woman alone in a bar. I don't plan on drinking it up every night I'm on vacation, but I do know that I will want to get out at night and enjoy what everyone else is enjoying, at least once or twice. So I will take the advice about giving it a go, knowing that I can simply get up and leave if I feel too uncomfortable. After all, it's my vacation and I'm entitled, right? Right!

What do you men think.....

What's your preference? Naxos or Skopelos? I want to go to an island that I haven't yet been to, but if you'd prefer Santorini or Mykonos, I don't mind.

RE: How you doin ladies?

Welcome aboard!

What do you men think.....

....when you see a woman alone in a bar?
I ask this because I am not comfortable going to a bar by myself. I only go when I am with others. But it always presents a dilemma for me when I travel, which is mostly alone. I will soon go to an island and I know the days will be fine by myself. I'll go to some beaches, walk around the town, and enjoy the outdoors. But at night, when the town is lively and music is pouring out of the bars and clubs, I know I will want to enjoy the nightlife, but I can't comfortably do this alone. I tend to think that a woman alone at night is viewed as being on the make, wanting to be picked up. But maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned in this regard. So I ask the men here....what do YOU think if you go into a bar and you see a woman by herself?

RE: KISS, MARRY OR AVOID....?

And I'd certainly return it.

RE: KISS, MARRY OR AVOID....?

I would go for the kiss.

RE: Holy Cannoli I surviuved!!

Good question. I think golfers use them.

RE: How much I still like him?

No, sweetie, it's not stupid. But, as Morgan said, you have to be more aware and more cautious. Nothing beats face-to-face and, although it is possible to meet someone online and to feel that you have fallen in love (BOTH in love with each other), it is much harder to know if you are truly in love. You haven't seen the smile, you haven't touched the face, you haven't seen the eyes to know if they are focused only on you or if they are darting around the room, checking out other women. There are too many unknowns and people can be anything they want to be online. I could love many things about someone online, but I wouldn't be able to profess genuine love unless I was physically with him for awhile. You aren't stupid, Emilyan....just maybe a bit naive yet. Just take care of your heart.

RE: Holy Cannoli I surviuved!!

I couldn't live without my Internet access anymore! I mean, of course I COULD live, but it would dramatically change my life. Like you, MF, I pay bills, shop, keep in touch with family and friends, catch up on news, and play online (backgammon and here on the forums). When I travel (mostly in Greece) for mini-vacations, I either take my laptop with me or I always seek out an Internet cafe. I'm addicted.

RE: Favorites List

Something else....is that like when you see a really ugly baby and you just go "Awwwwwwwwwwwwww" rather than to lie and tell the parents how cute he/she is??



Seriously, thank you, Gozo. I added this one because of the "men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses" thread. LOL

RE: Favorites List

Apparently so. I just looked and there are none listed on mine anymore, either.
