Looks like you're a man. So what's this BS about your needs having to be met before you do something to fulfil a woman's needs?
Are you trying to attract another male perhaps per chance?
If not, then YOU do for the woman, then and only then do you get to get. And what you get back is her happiness, warmth, joy.
A man doesn't need to get, he gives. That's what makes a man feel good.

I probably already mentioned it in this thread, but Karen Pirie is really good.
I had missed the fact that season 2 had already been released so I watched that yesterday.
Each season only has 3 episodes, but they're well worth it!

Scottish series dealing with cold cases. Well, one cold case per season.

Fries with mayo & satay sauce (yum!) and battered chunks of fish with garlic sauce.

You always get so much fish that it can easily serve two people.
Meaning I will eat fish again on the morrow, haha.

Oh? I thought I'd read that it was cancelled so I deleted it from my list.
May give it a go again :)

Mailing taxes in??
We do our taxes online, have done for years. Cannot recall the last time I had to fill it out on paper, hihi.

Today was really nice warm day here! Sun sun sun!
Second time I didn't need heating until about half an our ago (it's gone 7 here).
First time I mowed part of the lawn. Not my favourite thing to do but it had to be done.

Thanks! I didn't know :)

Last night I watched the first 2 episodes of the new documentary/reality Hunt for the Missing: Chicago.
There aren't any more eps yet.
So far I like it!

I gave up on both Yellowstone and Marshals.
Too much drama, conflict, negativity and violence for me.
If I was into that I could also start watching/listening to the news again. Something I haven't done for 11 years.
I don't need it when I want to be entertained either.

I'm confused now... Zee, Zero, Zena... hihi, I can't keep up!
Do you have a new account with a new name? Or are we talking two different women now?

I strongly recommend educating yourself on the subject matter as with that mindset you aren't going to find love as it's simply incorrect.
All the info you require is available on the net for free, but most cannot be bothered to educate themselves. Which is weird as they do want love, find that very important, but not important enough to learn how to go about it.
I recommend Jake Woodard. You can find him on FB, YouTube, Insta.
Check him out. You really will learn something valuable.

No offense, but this is sheer nonsense.
I'm not on my phone all day long, nor do I check it all day long.
But the biggest error you make is that it only takes 10 seconds to reply.
It does not!
Unless you want a meaningless reply.
It takes a certain mindset to reply to someone you like.
When I'm at the cash register in the supermarket or walking round with my trolley I am not going to check my phone and most certainly not reply to someone on a dating app.
When I'm cycling home with my groceries I'd have to stop, open my jacket to get my phone out of my inner pocket, which is annoying as it's got velcro closing. Then read the message without my reading glasses.
By that time I'm really not chuffed as I got interrupted, I'm catching a cold as my coat is open. If it's raining or there's a strong wind my mood will go below 0.
The last thing in the world I'm in the mood for is reply to a man. Typing a message with 2 fingers, which always P me O as it's impractical, balancing my bicycle with shopping bag on it while I do that?
He can wait till I'm home, in the mood, nice and warm with a cup of coffee and behind the PC so I can type with 8 fingers.

The same goes when I'm cooking, on the loo, in the shower, busy painting, simply not in the mood, feeding my cats, making coffee, and so on and so forth.

You may me talking/dating but that doesn't mean I'm available at every beck & call.
Nor do I expect the other to be.

You've already answered your own question.
The answer being neither are necessarily a red flag and at the same time both could be.
You've also already explained why this is.

I may check it out (Shrinking) but I don't think it's my thing.

I gave Yellowstone another try yesterday but still not sure it's for me.
And I think it isn't so much Kevin Costner that doesn't work (for me) but most of the rest of the cast.
Including his series-son who is the main character in "Marshals", actor Luke Grimes.
I'll try another 1-2 episodes and see if the series gets intriguing or not.

But tonight I'm hoping to watch episode 3 of CIA :D

Thinking... hotdangit!!!
Now my thread "good action & thriller movies & series" does a post-disappearing act! Grrrr...
I wished someone could sort that chit out.

Well, I can tell you that both 1883 and 1923 are very well worth the time!
Excellent series. I just finished 1923.
And you know what the odd thing is... while both and I felt that someone Costner doesn't seem to work in a tv series, that argument doesn't go for Harrison Ford? (one of the main characters in 1923)
Don't know if that is because he's a better actor or because of the type of actor and/or the roles he played before?
But somehow it really works. He does an effing good job, so much so that it even makes you forget that he used to also be Indiana Jones.

I don't really care that much about big screens. To me it's more important that I can watch it without having to wait a week after each episode, hihi.

Still watching 1923, only 2 more episodes to go.
I like the show but it does remind me why I do not like drama. Because there's too much drama, hihi.
There's one main storyline and a couple smaller storylines are directly connected to that.
But then they throw so many spanners in the works that it can easily take an entire season to get from A to B.
That gets up my nose. I haven't the patience for that shizzel.

If Yellowstone is like that too it sure as heck isn't worth watching. I had thought of giving it another try after 1923 but not sure I can stomach more drama.

Feeling incredibly sleepy.
This series 1923 is way too captivating & addictive!
About to go to bed, half past 1 already. *YAWN*

Escapism isn't going to resolve anything, it will potentially only create more trouble.
Get a divorce.
And this thing for another woman is only because you crave love, affection, a gentle touch etc. A void that you long to have filled. But that isn't solving anything.
Going same-sex for that reason isn't fair on the other person either.
And what if your partner finds out? What will be the consequences?

Oh I think we're talking about a different series.
I thought you meant Beyond Paradise. That series has 3 seasons right now.

I liked Virgin River, wonderfully romantic, and it has David Cubitt in it who's so hotdanged attractive, hihi. But at some point I didn't like it anymore. Cannot remember why, been a couple of years. But somehow the storyline didn't work for me anymore. Didn't it shift from focus on romantic to focus on crime & violence with that group that Cubitt leads?

As for Yellowstone... I'm thinking the same thing, seeing Costner as a big screen actor.

Another thing is that many of those actors used to be attractive hot men, now they're old farts.
Like Harrison Ford in 1923, another prequel of Yellowstone. Not much Indiana Jones left in him now that he's in his 80s.
I find myself worrying he's going to break a hip when he gets on or off his horse, hihi.

Now watching episode 5 of 1923. It wasn't an easy one to get into either but it is getting quite good now. I do skip the bits where they beat up Indians. I really cannot stomach it.

I thought S03 was already out?
I started watching it with S02, liked that, then watched S01. Had some trouble getting into that, but in the end liked it too.
Somehow never got to S03 although I do believe it's been out for some time now.

Marshals... not too sure about it yet.
Wait for episode 3 to decide hihi.

Currently watching 1883, another Yellowstone spin-off.
I'd tried that one before, but it started with her killing Indians and I switched it off.
I know it's part of history, but makes me sick to the stomach.
Now I managed to get past that scene and must say it is actually really good!

Funny you also couldn't get into Yellowstone. I know it was very popular, I tried it, didn't do it for me either.

First 2 episodes of the Yellowstone spin-off "Marshals".
Not sure about it yet.

Lot of yapping that relates to the original series which I never watched. I did try an episode of it way back when, didn't like it.
I'll watch the 3rd episode of this spin-off when it's out.
Maybe it'll grow on me.
