The only things a man should ever say to a woman he works with who is not his wife should be strictly work related. Anything else has the potential to cost him his job!!!! A woman you work with is never to be treated in a social manner unless in a formal, polite way. If your actions are any different than how you would treat your mother or grandmother, they are totally off limits!!!!!

The real problem is what is considered sexual harassment! When someone can be accused because of only looking or looking and commenting, then there is a real problem with our expectations. You can wear anything you want and expect not to be touched. You cannot wear anything you want and expect no one is going to look or make a comment to you or about you.


WRONG! That's like saying if a person looks different because of a disability, you have the right to comment to them. If a woman has unusually large breasts, you can say something to her? I THINK NOT. Self Control is necessary in this world! If ya got none, stay home.
If the comment was directed at her breasts, you're right. If the comment was about something else, say her shoes or makeup or a new do, that would not be improper. Likewise with a handicap, all depends on what the comment is. Why do people often take something and try to turn it into harassment?? No wonder we just ignore most women totally as their own insecurities determine how they perceive anything we might say!!!!!!!!

I would prefer company sometimes but finding another single to travel with is nearly impossible!!

At 72 I still drive a lot of miles. I have gotten to where I limit my long distance trips to under 12 hours a day; usually 600 - 700 miles. I'm not fond of some of the big cities but still have to go through them. I think Dallas is the worst one I usually go through.

I travel in the south part of the year. It is not uncommon for some waitress in a place I've never been to before to call me sweetie or honey. Such as: can I get you something Honey? If I started some type of scene over that, I probably would be meeting the local deputy sheriff!! I call women that I know but have no relationship with "dear" on a regular basis. You slap me for it and I'll be thinking about pressing charges for assault!!!!!!!!!!! You have no cause to physically attack me for referring to you as "dear"!! With that attitude, "*****" might be more appropriate.

I belong to several other sites but most are free and worth just what they cost! The only thing Mingle2 has going for it is a few of the forums. I also belong to one paid site. There I have actually met others and regularly receive honest messages. Yes, there are scammers there too but many less than on the free sites.

I guess we better support the Vikings for the rest of the year and get ready to support the Twins in 2020. Actually the Twins did a good job considering the last couple years and with a new manager.

I believe the OP is talking about the polarization in America. We are born into a group based on our social, economic, educational, and political views. We then go through life defending these values against those who have different views and are part of a different group. There are many different groups with their own values and agendas. We have become so entrenched in our own viewpoints that we refuse to consider any other viewpoints. This has just made us more adversarial and can destroy any chance of compromise while increasing the possibility of violence within our society. You're wrong so I must destroy you! This can only be considered madness in many respects!!

There are 2 very different situations among "single mothers". There are those who were in a family or married situation and after a few years, the relationship fell apart resulting in her being alone with children to raise. We should not be considering these women as being irresponsible. There is a good possibility they could become a solid future partner.

Then there are those who carelessly have sex with the losers of the male population without practicing responsible birth control. They tend to have babies for the taxpayer to support. Personally, I think they should be required to have chemical birth control in order to receive any taxpayer support. If I were a younger man, I would avoid getting involved with this group in any way! Nothing but trouble!!!

Thanks for your comments. I was using the term 'dating' in the real world and in the generally accepted sense, where two people meet with good intentions towards each other in seeking to establish a long term romantic relationship, which may include marriage, if all goes well. I am of the opinion most people see exclusivity in dating as a requirement and the best way forward, in amongst other requirements such as you mention, honesty, and integrity.

It seems you are making the assumption that most singles are searching for a new husband, wife, or similar relationship. While this may be true for many people on Mingle2 and similar sites, not everyone has that goal. I find it very important to state that assumption early in getting acquainted with someone. It will save a lot of heartbreak and disappointment!

Should be a great series between the Twins and Yanks. Looking forward to watching the games. Now if only the Vikings could figure out how to play football tears

Sounds like most of the respondents are serial daters. I date you until I'm no longer interested in you and then I dump you. Sounds like a great plan if you have a lifetime left to try out new people!

Exclusivity should not be expected until a couple is ready to have sex. Then the subject should be carefully discussed and limits established!

If you truly love someone, you will never stop loving that person you fell in love with. You may not love the person they have become or may no longer be able to live with the person they are today, but you will still love the person they were that you fell in love with.

And it obviously has not worked for you
As it is today, it is not working out as I had hoped yet but is much better than the last 10-15 years of being married. My life now has much more freedom and much less stress.

But what he is looking for is just what so many women seem to desire!! Could they not have read his profile or don't they want what they say they want??

I don't think most men are expecting sex on the first or second date. They are thinking of you in terms of if they would be sexually interested in you and when would you be receptive to their sexual advances. They are trying to figure you out! Don't confuse the two.

I'm 72 and this is what I finally learned: Never allow someone else to control your life unless it is to your benefit. That includes employers, friends, family, and relationships. Each must be giving you something that makes your life better for the control you ALLOW them to have!

There is never a time when I cannot pack a small bag and disappear for a period of time even if only to the park for the afternoon! I know the rest of the world will take care of things while I'm away for awhile!
