A closely related issue is the restrictions some countries have on our access to their markets. I can understand them trying to protect some of their own business interests but they need to realize we also need a level playing field in trade. I have to believe the best situation is when the most efficient producers are the producer of choice to the global economy.

There was this guy last year. He lived in an adjoining city...and, as there wasn't much *here* to do/ decent restaurants...I decided to go there... However, *his* genius idea was (instead of *anything* else he could have suggested) that I park my car (since *I* had driven *there), and get in his car....and we go for a ride in the country up to Dale Hollow lake (almost an hour away)....and walk around.. Four thimngs: 1. It was late February, and...while not freezing cold..not exactly conducive to walking around outdoors..it was damp and chilly. 2. I have been to that lake and surrounding areas MANY times... Sparsely inhabited....most roads there are long and winding....not exactly the place I'd want to be with a total stranger. 3. Having been there many times, I knew *I* had no cell service there, so, in the event of a bad situtation..I'd have no way to call for help... 4. I told him that didn't seem like a good idea, i wasn't all that comfortable with that sugggestion....how about something else? (numerous other things we could do there, BTW) He proceeded to lambast me about having trust issues/ being paranoid, etc.... Thereby proving that he was up to no good.. A decent guy wouldn't haven't suggested that in the first place (unless he was totally clueless about a woman's concern for safety), or would have said "yeah, you're probably right..." and agreed on some other activity.. NOT gotten angry and judgey. ----> I pointed out that it wasn't a good idea for him, either..being in a remote place with someone he didn't know...I could have some guy follow me, and follow us oit there, and beat and rob him... But, he didn't hear/ acknowledge that...*I* was the one with the problem.. Whatever, darlin'.... Now, maybe he had only honorable intentions, maybe he would have been completely safe, maybe I offended him....but, as a woman...no nearby people, and no cell service, I do not think *I* was in the wrong to decline that activity. And that GUYS need to be careful as well....a proposed meet up with a woman *could* be a set up...just be cautious and use common sense. |

WOW!! We import 466 Billion! That helps explain why the administration is so concerned about our trade imbalance. It also helps explain why some segments of our economy have shriveled up and basic jobs have disappeared. We have outsourced those jobs to other countries and now import those products back into the US.

Bad thigs can happen to GUYS also, if they don't screen carefully/ do due dilligence...and yet they seem oblivious to that fact. I'll be da**ed if I am going to be pressued into meeting someone even at a public place before I feel comfortable. Don't like that/ agree? Fine, die mad about it, I don't care.... 
My safety is more importsant to me than the opinion of some pushy guy. https://www.newschannel5.com/news/man-made-victim-of-attempted-robbery-at-stone-ridge-apartments-while-meeting-woman-he-first-met-online Bad link, took me to a home improvement ad.

There are things we all should do to help keep us safe. Unfortunately, in this day and age anything really bad that happens to someone in a dating situation makes the headline news. What we fail to consider is what is the chance of that happening to us? Everything in life has a risk. When we refuse to take a risk we also refuse the possible gain from that risk. Everyone needs to make their own call on that just weigh the risk and the possible gain when you do. Life will never be totally safe, an F16 might crash where you are at the moment!!

Why do ladies don't like to chat first, they prefer men to talk to them first. When it comes to dating and all that goes along with it, many are still stuck in the past with antiquated notions. That is, it's the man's job to make the first move, it's the man's job to plan the date, it's the man's job to pay for everything, etc. I have seen similar discussions numerous times on various online dating site forums. With the same opinions over and over. I'm a man and glad to be, all the things you just mentioned are things that I do automatically. I believe that chivalry is not dead and practice it unless she tells me to do otherwise. Very few women ever tell me that! What they do say is they really miss being treated that way or no one has ever treated them like this, they've only heard about it. There's nothing wrong with being "old fashioned" if you want to call it that. And cat we or speaking for myself, yes we do want to do the pursuit. I think thsat's a primasl thing also. |

Assuming 2 people had a mutually enjoyable intimate encounter, which follow up makes the most sense?
Dump them and start over trying to find a new intimate encounter partner OR try an become friends so you can have more intimate encounters with that person in the future. |

Has a serious philanderer with a very shallow interest in women other than to **** them on a no strings attached basis I'm constantly astonsihed how stupidly guulable women are, particularly those women will failed marriages who have some misguided hope that will find love with a complete stranger on a free dating site. Free dating sites see are simply an opportunity for men to shag desperate women seeking adoration. I've unashamendly met and dated women and had sex with the conveyor belt of stupid women from sites like this.... The sad truth is men will want to **** without the baggage and there's plenty of opportunity . Yeah BUT you don't need to be a lying disrespectful little s*it to date and have sex with multiple women! It's guys like you that make women think that ALL men can't be trusted like you, you're an embarrassment to our gender! You'll learn about KARMA someday boy.  Grrrrrrrr

Perhaps he enjoys being single, wishes to keep his life that way, and enjoys sex with multiple women? |

Differences

No! Those differences may represent issues each of us can live with and then we could say we are equal. Those differences could also represent issues and behaviors we consider unacceptable and therefor you are not equal in our eyes. Many differences most people can accept and can accept you as an equal; there are some differences most people cannot accept and consider you inferior to them.

Yes, I frequently complain about not being able to meet someone for a social companion. That is very much different than looking for a connection or relationship. Not all of us have that goal. When I specify certain criteria for a partner/relationship that is again different than a social companion. If you only are willing to get acquainted with or spend time with someone you view as relationship material, you are probably going to be a lonely, middle aged woman. There are not a lot of quality people out there if that is what you are looking for. Again your choice in life.

Have you noticed

It depends very much on the area. It is mostly about $$. Bands are expensive and even a DJ runs $300-400. You have to have a good crowd and sell a lot of drinks to cover the cost. Some places you can still hire a couple musicians for a reasonable price; they usually supplement the pay with tips. Tourist area usually have more entertainment because that is what people want and are willing to spend more. Unfortunately, people are no longer willing to pay a cover charge for their music and entertainment. They are use to getting their music and entertainment online for free.

IF there are middle aged women who are lonely, then they must have some serious problems. I don't think many older men expect them to be young woman thin or a special beauty. Men do expect a certain level of sanity, take pride in your appearance, and have a basis for the opinions you have. It is also necessary that you be out in society where others can meet you and be receptive when someone tries to start that initial conversation with you. So often it is just like on Mingle, your initial message or greeting is ignored. "IF there are middle aged women who are lonely, then they must have some serious problems. " Da*m What could someone say about a 72 year old man who is alone/ lonely??? You're saying HE doesn't have "serious problems"? (since you chosde to go there) It's sad you think women who are on dating sites because they are single must have some "serious problems".. Maybe that view you have of women is part of your problem, buddy... |

I'm a technical person, always have been. Never have been any kind of sales person and find almost all of them are hot air. I don't think a sales person has ever sold me anything that I didn't already know I was buying. I understand a sales person is supposed to appeal to your emotional side not your logic side. That is like most advertisements and sales oriented websites, full of nice feelings but very little fact. Ask a sales person a technical question about the product they are trying to sell and they probably won't know the answer. If I have to jump through hoops to appeal to the emotional side of some woman, obviously she isn't for me. Right, a weak one. During my sales years I knew everything possible about my product and relied on facts and proof to sell so your generalization doesn't apply to me but I have known too many salespeople that it does so I get your point but you're missing mine. You often post here that you have trouble with the initial meeting of someone new. In the situations you describe you have about 15 seconds to tell that person what you want and if don't get it right in those first seconds it's very hard to make up for it as time continues to pass. In your case when the distance decreases between you and the person you want to strike up a conversation with, by the time you're within speaking distance you need to know what you're going to say and how you're going to say it. Look pleasant, don't get too close and say what you're going to. Works for me and has for over 40 years.... |

So to set the ball rolling I believe the three golden rules are: 1 Be yourself. 2 Be honest. 3 Be truthful. Congrats on your noble attempt overall. However, to be more specific, the three "golden" rules for MEN are: 1) Be 6 feet tall. 2) Be a male model, or look like one. 3) Own and drive a $1.4 million Ferrari LaFerrari (only 500 manufactured) I suspect that men who fit this category seldom, if ever, lack for female companionship. Or would have much of a problem on a dating site, either. Well then....by YOUR logic women need to be thin, young, and pretty, and don't ever question a guy/ have an opinion... If this were not true, then countless middle-aged women wouldn't still be lonely. |

Sure there is, just talk at the store, at the gas pumps, at the coffee shop and anywhere. Just chat and at some point things will click with someone. This is just my opinion oldkid but I think you may be overthinking the whole thing...... |
