Only to inject a bit of humor into a given situation. If its stressful, then only to lighten up the mood.

No,I can't tell flirts from friendly banter. So I take it all as friendly banter. If I get rejected, I shut up. If I see an opening to leave, I do.


I haven't learned anything about flirting online, except it isn't possible. I have no flirting abilities.The times I've tried, have all come out as dismal flops. So I just don't make the attempt.

Back in 2016, when I thought Trump had a snowballs chance, I decided to listen to the reasons why hillary should be president. Just so I'd know what I was in for.

For 15 minutes, I heard some jerk go on and on about nothing. It was pure double talk. I thought I was listening to an Amway speech. What did I learn? That she was a huge shyster. Sounded like an obammy speech. They say NOTHING.

What did I dread for the 8 years he was president? That he would have gotten assassinated, and we'd be saddled with biden. Well now we are, he's living up to everything I dreaded, and I was wishing we still had Jimmy Carter in the White House.

You have gotten involved with someone that wants to control you. Edit your comments. Step on your opinions.

You aren't behaving like I want you to.

A friend of mine pulled that on me.
Excuse me, former friend.

None. Nobody pesters me. I can ignore emails with the best of them.

Don't be so certain that it's only honey bees that pollinate. Yellow jackets also go from flower to flower. They don't make honey, but they do come out with pollen on them.
Care to gripe about those who spray dandelions in their yards? Those happen to be one of the early spring flowers. Bees are desperate for early flowers, they're starving.

I have a fine relationship with my motorcycle. Far more interesting than people.

Most guys won't. In some areas, there's like 8-10 guys for every woman. It helps to be an experienced liar. I won't, I don't want to explain away my lies. I have to be straight forword for my work. I'm also no salesman, my work sells me.

It's rare that I have ever been messaged first by a woman. In ten years of doing this, I can count on my fingers how many women ever messaged me first, I leave several dangling.

In this arena, grasp the idea that nice guys finish last.You might be tall,slim, and active. Have a good job, and be reliable. But if there's nothing outstanding about you, you're SOL.

Whatever happened to the right to a speedy trial? I know it still happens, I got notified, called in to serve on a jury inside of a week, last year.

It astounds me as well. Just a guess, I suspect a good many dems never got punished for lying when they were kids. I know I was, and I got what was coming to me.

No one seems to want to recognize that the earth isn't on a perfect orbit from the sun. It drifts slightly. So we have warm and cool periods. Volcanoes can spew dirt into the atmosphere, blocking the sun for a time.

And dems love to spread fear. Climatologists are on the government payroll. What do they fear? Losing their jobs because the weather isn't changing fast enough to suit them.

My ex used to snore the siding off the house. I learned to sleep on the last two feet of my side, because she was such a bed hog. Getting woke 3-6 times a night wasn't unusual. I had a bulged disc in my back once. She got mad at me for sleeping in another bed. Waking myself up 5 times a night just by moving wrong was bad enough.

I think I gave her the divorce she wanted, just so I could get a decent night's sleep. In just one weeks time, I stopped needing naps on the weekend.

No way am I going through that again, with any woman.

The big trick is finding someone TO date. I gave up long ago. Dating got expensive. Women got ether exceptionally picky,stubborn, or just plain old obstinate.
There just wasn't many places to meet up with single women in my area. I wasn't fond of anchoring down a barstool every weekend just to see the same women wander by.Then when it got warm, I decided that a sunday ride was better than drinking on saturday, and feeling lazy on sunday.

Complain all you want to. I edited dating out of my life.

Oh yes, height has little to do with dating.

It's an ongoing argument. No dating forum could ever get away from a discussion about tall men, and their so-called dating prowess. I think some average, or short men seem to believe tall guys have an advantage. No way.

Any man can be tall, if he stands on a big stack of his money.
(Which is what usually is a determining factor)

I think we'd all a better chance flapping our arms and flying to the moon, than mainstream media taking an unbiased opinion.

I agree with you on that one. We in the USA see that all the time, it's aggravating.

I'm sort of used to seeing that in my country. But not from immigrants. Some african americans take advantage of our welfare system as well. It's exceptionally galling to see them dressed well, obese, buying groceries at a local grocery store, and paying with food stamps. Then follow them out the door, they load their trunks with their purchases. The cars they do that to, are usually new Cadillac's, Mercedes, or BMW's. I've seen that happening, for the better part of 45 years, so I'm used to it.

Or conditioned to it. A better term, and more appropriate.

Happy hunting.

In the 11 years that I've been online, I found out many things.

1. Women won't message you, first. I've had about 6 actually do that. Two actually did send me messages that were longer than 25 words. But after that, they won't send you another, on their own. You must send anything after that, and never expect replies. In both cases, their replies got shorter, and shorter.

2. IF you actually can get them to a meetup, don't expect to see the woman in the photo. Three that did, I couldn't recognize them from their posted photos. In an odd twist, they did recognize me. So that did save the meet.

3. In all of the meets I did, I found out if they couldn't string together any sort of long message, then you won't get more than two sentences spoken to you during the entire meetup. And make sure you brought your crowbar for prying out any sort of talk from them. (Suggestion- practice talking to manikins. A great help if you like talking to yourself)

4. Working hard on your profile will net you nothing. I changed mine dozens of times. I changed photos, took new ones, its all wasted effort. Dropping your old profile in less than a month, then renewing under a new name only works one or two times.

5. If in a years time, you've gotten nowhere, you won't-ever. Pick dating sites with forums. That gets to be somewhat entertaining. If you're lucky, you might get a few of the regulars on forums to acknowledge you. Keep in mind, even a forum is cliquish. You MIGHT get let in, or not. I stay on this one only because I can toss the occasional turd in a conversation. This isn't, or will ever get nearly as interesting as the POF or the DateHookup forums were.

If you get choosy, you'll get nothing. That's the way it works.

This is just a guess, but if they came from Afghanistan, Belgium is just a stopover for them, on their way to the USA.

Not that I like that they are heading for my country. But they did put themselves in harms way to provide us with information against the common enemy. They are not safe in their homeland now. They must have gotten some documentation that got them on that transport out. With the country being in such a flap, There has to be some stopover point for refueling, or just to change aircraft. Few planes can fly halfway around the world on a single load of fuel, and carry any sort of large load.

I considered just having one girlfriend a stroke of good luck. Too many years of none at all showed me I wasn't going to play pick and choose. Four would have never happened with me.

Would Jesus be mad at me for having none, now? Offhand, I'd say I should be mad at him. After all, he made me.

Reminds me of a wall hanging I read at a local cat boarding place-

Cats don't have owners.
They have staff.
