Not seeing anyone that would notice that the great actor Gene Hackman died, one of my favorites.

Is it people I like to talk to, things in common- tv, books, movies, music, animal topics... those are topics I desire.


I enjoy talking to people who I have a lot in common with too, very much so...

Maybe it is because they understand the meaning of hardship, struggle and sometimes not being accepted, maybe because of the colour of my skin, or my taste in music or 100 other MINOR reasons...

I always felt that if you keep an open mind and broad horizons, you never have any trouble getting on with anyone...

I must admit though, that those values haven't helped me find that one special person yet...

Thank you to the group creator(s),
I find my situation unique- and realize that part of this could be due to the fact that I do not talk about it for the shame and guilt which overwhelms me when I say: I am the mother of the two most amazing boys but their father has FT custody. I immediately sense judgement.

What remains unsaid is that I single-handedly raised them for 7 years while my ex took a free ride; he became monstrously abusive- but I gave my word in saying I do. When I reached needing by, went to ER- where he had me served. He had been busy- court order I was no longer allowed in my own home and he took full custody of my children having concocted fanciful story of incapacity on my part and his concern for their safety (whom I had had even just the day before and no concern). He had never been alone with them for more than three hours. And I quickly learned he had cyphoned all of our money.

Did I fight for them? Hell yeah- to bankruptcy.

I am a mother who raised amazing children. I see them - at his leisure. It is humiliating to say.

Is this how men feel in the opposite situation?



Heya MuseOutsideTheLines,

It is a great thread isn't it?

It makes everyone realise that even after divorce there is hope for everyone...

Sorry to read your story, sounds pretty sad to be honest...

I don't doubt it, and can believe it, my ex said I threatened to burn down the house, in the divorce papers, it's pure BS and I even told her, if I contest this in a divorce courts, the police records will be checked, and there won't be any record of you phoning the police, so understand that lies won't benefit you... I tried to make her see that BS that some point or other will be discovered for the bull chit that it is, usually when the children are old enough to understand...

Now the kids are grown up, they know the truth, but I would never slag her down to the kids... Its simple, she is their mother, we had some good times, and when the bad times came, she ditched, and that's all there is to it...

So although I was hurt by her lies, I do not let it worry me, the world is big, there are lots of potential partners, and my children will ALWAYS be my children, even if she remarries, and I just get on with living life...

Your children too will grow up and they will know right from wrong, truth from lies, so try not to dwell on it and Good luck to you too...

5) Moderators to listen to customer queries and complaints is a must, and I envisage they would be a volunteers, voted into position by the website members

One of the main issues I have had on here when I was sign out was though a reset password option was available it didn't work. Nothing was sending to my inbox. Password couldn't be reset automatically or manually. Had to create a new account. That can be discouraging to some folks.



Hi Slimme,

Thank you for sharing your experience with regards to resetting your password...

As far as I know (and I could be wrong oops) the modern trend of user account identity and authorisation is one where the password cannot be reset. Instead a link is sent to the REGISTERED email address on the system databanks, which should resolve problems such as the one you suffered.

And generally, a customer / member / website user would be expected to email the customer support department to notify the website that the user has changed their email address, and the customer may be asked some further questions to ascertain that they are indeed the genuine account owner. And once the checks are completed and authenticity of the account holder is confirmed, then the REGISTERED email address would be updated on the system databanks.

I would think also, that if genuine ownership of the account is not possible then the person (you/me/any registered member) would be forced to create a new account, I understand it's not the best solution, but without satisfactory results in the further communication between the account holder and the customer service staff, one cannot be sure that the person is the genuine account owner.

What are you're thoughts on the above?

A way to vett the members to ensure that they are what they say they are. That should require a minimum amount to sign up so that scammers would go broke making their hundreds of profiles like on here and other sites.

Software should automatically check for certain conditions that are obvious frauds such as a 20 year old 2000 miles away wanting a relationship with a man 60 years old that has never said boo to her.

Grammar checker to catch the obvious frauds from overseas that have horrid grammar and flag them for more review.

Admins that listen to members and actually investigate fraud reports.

I could go for days since everything is what I have mentioned on here before and they ignore every bit of it.

Look what it has lead to


Thank you very much for all the solid pointers...

1) I guess that vetting members is straight forward...

2) Charging a registration fee sounds like a super idea, and although I had intended to make registration free, maybe I could charge a nominal fee for registration, and make that fee refundable upon the member leaving the website, without breaching the terms and conditions of use...

3) Checking the email sender/recipient age difference, distances and even length of membership could help in diminishing unwanted messages...

4) Grammar has never been my strong point, but maybe I can get help with this...

5) Moderators to listen to customer queries and complaints is a must, and I envisage they would be a volunteers, voted into position by the website members...

Well, I've noted all the good advice and hope to work on all of those things after the first beta test, I'm still in the sign process right now and working on the chatroom and forums...

Hopefully I'll be able to post links to a live preview in about a months time...

Well now that I'm not working a regular 9 to 5 job, I'm finding I have lots of free time...

I'd like to use the free time to create a website like Mingle or Tagged or Badoo, rather than just cabbaging watching TV...

Since I cannot afford to fork out thousands of dollars, I'll be doing all the work myself (fingers crossed 🤞 lol :joy:)...

I note too that website design has come a long way from html 3.0 which is when I first started learning about the subject...

When I get stuck, I'm hoping to ask the professionals in the community to guide me, by way of questions lol...

Naturally I'll also be using Google and w3schools.com for research as well...


My first question is

If you were designing a dating/social website, what key features would you have?


Currently I have shortlisted
1 - Public Chat Rooms
(like tagged.com before it was removed)
2 - Public Forums
(bulletin board)
3 - Direct Messaging
(the email feature)

Currently I have avoided
1 - Member Blogs
(blogs/blogs leave it to the pros)

Thinking about adding
1 - Music playlists
(only playing YouTube videos of the members favourite tracks)

Hiya Crystal,

Wasn't it good?
Yes I like the way he explains stuff too...

I couldn't see that series listed on the iplayer, but there was another series also narrated/hosted by him...

It's called Human Universe

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0276p50/human-universe?seriesId=unsliced

And it's also 5 episodes....

In all fairness the movie wasn't that bad lol

Mmmmmm well I watched the last episode today (5 of 5)...

It was so interesting to see and the cgi helped me to picture his explanations of our solar system and his vivid descriptions...

A 'must see' series for all us lay astronomers...

You may be able to see it on the iplayer, I'm not sure lol...

Potential serial killer? They often start with animals.



You let your "friend" walk away from this
unscathed?

Weak.


Got to agree with Cat and Rock....

Maybe it's sensible to let the animal protection group know about it, just in case some weird chit happens...

Or maybe even try to talk to your friend and try to make him see how wrong it is...

I had to turn a guy down lately: zero chemistry and he came across as super flaky. I ended up kind of deceiving him letting him believe I wasn't over my x


I feel like it's best to let someone know you're not interested, if your not interested in the person.

I don't feel like it's wrong or anything if you use a half truth, not a lie, but halfway to the truth...

And I feel it's nice to do so without demeaning, derespecting or offending the other party...

At least the other person can move on, and leave you in peace too...
