Hey, If I make it to the phillipines or south calabato, hey, maybe we can find each other? In any case, Happy valentine's day.

I second that. Though, it did sort of have a plot. Zardoz turned out to be the WiZARD of OZ. big woop! (yes, I actually watched the whole thing)

Yeah, I like scyfy too. And I disagree with district 9--it was great. a little slow towards the middle, but it was good. A good analogy of what went on in south africa, apartheid and everything.

worst film I ever saw was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. stupid, bad, slow and though only about 90 minutes long, it was 89 minutes too long.

Wilkommen, bienvenue, beinvenidos, and whatever other languages you can think of. Not a bad place to meet people (the forums), but meeting people through matching and searching-- its for the dogs.

I think we can all live without them. We will survive, but I think that these things allow us to be connected to others. Or, in the case of TV, it allows us to get away from our daily problems. What did people do before cell phones and TV and computers? They actually went out, met people and did things, instead of mainly sitting on their butts (in the cases of computers and TV). There probably were a lot less singles out there.

But, I need the sci-fi channel. I need the escape. and the shows are good. not like the reality shows another forum person mentioned.

you really are. your ego is probably getting in the way of your figuring that out.

Well, not much to talk about. Does anybody do karaoke?

I don't know, I haven't had anything thrown at my lap for a long time.

We men are really simple people. If we tell a woman everything about ourselves, then after the 5 minutes are up, there is no more mystery. Women need a man to be mysterious. So, at some point, we have to say that something in our lives is complicated. That way, there is some mystery.

But, it could also mean he is recently divorced, has an ex straight out of fatal attraction, or just doesn't want to say. Men don't have to say everything. Also, women are not always the most honest. The earth will stand still the day when women are honest and open about things!!

I think the phrase comes after a man says something honest to the woman, and she says something,like "I've heard that one before", or "All men say that, but don't mean it". Because, at that point, the only thing you can say is either, I am different from other men (I am not like those other men who said it and didn't mean it). Or, they didn't mean it, I do.

The problem is that, all of the men who got to the particular woman first and lied, have f***ed it up for the rest of us honest men. So, we are left with 2 possibilities. Don't be honest, or just accept that the woman won't believe you when you are. Either way, trust goes out the window!!

Never heard of that one before. I guess now I have.

Good jokes, funny. But, should we really be putting down blondes? Aren't those the women we want to date? Oh, yeah, they don't know they've been put down We're safe.!

I think I tend to forgive almost anybody and I tend to forget. Which, of course, in turn leads to me taking the same people at their word as I did before. Of course, that usually leads to something I will likely have to forgive. People don't change.

But, why hang on to anger and hurt. Just let it go!!

Only talk to one person. Not my girlfriend. Up above (literally). Though, the chatting is fun and so are the forums. By the way, I wonder if chatting online really helps to meet people? I mean, all the hours spent alone at a computer probably don't help meeting people.

I think we actually expect more from women. We expect them to hold down jobs, do the laundry, take care of the kids, figure out how to take care of the kids, clean the house and bring us our beers and slippers when we come home. (or something of the sort). Oh, and always look good and, of course, have sex whenever we want to. (yes, fantasizing is allowed on this forum ).

In any case, I think we don't expect much from men. We just expect them to be the breadwinner--and that is it.

The more bread the man brings home, the better he is considered.

But, we can all change this mentality. Just stop expecting so much or so little and except each other for who we are.

Welcome. The best way to find someone is to actually look. Join a gym, go to starbucks. supermarkets aren't bad. But these dating sites are filled with people (like me) who don't really take big risks. As Byron said, "Great love takes great risk." You gotta put yourself out there and you have to have the other person also want to put herself out there. That may be a stretch.

But, I haven't given up yet. I know there are plenty of ms. Rights, or at least almost Rights out there. It is just a matter of finding her. Whether it is here or in the real world--or both.

Yes, I agree. But, I have had just as much or little luck in the forums as I have had emailing. It just gets a little frustrating. But, I like the comment made by bigstick (good name too)



I have asked out a few women this year (and the end of last year) who I thought would never go out with me. I was right

But, it hasn't stopped me. Giving up is not an option.

Haven't really found anything yet here. My friends say I should just join a gym instead of spending time and money on singles sites. That way, even if I don't meet a girl there, I'll be buff and be able to attract more women anyways. Better to spend 24.99 on a gym per month then on a "dating site". I have found, though, that you can carry on conversations with people who are in the forums. It is unlikely scammers will waste time writing entries in forums--much easier to wait for someone to take the bait of their email. Therefore, they are pretty much real profiles.

I also know of a few married couples who met on singles sites. But, the one thing you have to do to meet people is just to take a chance. I find that not too many people seem willing to take the chance to find something. Maybe that is why they are single?

So, keep it up here and take chances here and in the real world. And join a gym.

true, you don't. Of course, if they are going to get serious, it helps if the inlaws like the respective partner. Makes for easier sailing.

Hey, lots of good responses. But, the point is moot, because the girl in question just is not interested in a man who is "old enough to be my father". I have started looking for women closer to my age, say 26 (though that is still young) to 44.

I think that may work out better. But, I still think age doesn't really matter, it is up to each person to figure that out. It only matters if you make it matter.
