General things to keep in mind...
Mental & Emotional: If your excited about something coming along or have had a lot going on that's been decent for you in some way personally, it could be kicking up your mind a bit so you'll stay awake longer. or 1)If things have been "****-tacular" it can either be switching out of that and you're feeling uppity. 2)If things have been "****-tacular" then your trying to work things thru a bit too rough and should find a way to mediate with yourself to down pace the thought processes. Physical: If you've been eating or drinking anything that's got ingredients that'll keep you uptempo then try consuming them earlier in the day or potentially not at all. IT happens and sometimes we don't always really put it into context so I'll bring it up. Metaphysical/Etheric: We're coming out of a main blare for the first mercury retrograde for the year (It ends on the 1st of march but the closing shadow is going to be till the 21st of March) people have been shifting out of their personal flow of "good and bad stuff going on" from this past holiday seasons and winter really slowly (rough decompression really) and the energy from Equinox is going to start to be flowing in soon. On this end it's sort of a matter of time, getting used to the energy atmosphere and riding it out. |

why Dont girls respond..

To kick this off, here's a couple of things you have to take into account on here or any dating site...
1) Online dating is a quicker version of rejection than you'd get in person. Why? To an extent it's supposed to be somewhat anonymous to the degree of they've never actually met you. You don't have any form of "feelings" put out there and nobody has agreed to anything so it's considered fair game to do that. Think of it like this because it's literally like this.... "Nobody came up to me directly so I don't really have to answer or respond if I'm not interested in the person messaging me". The set up for all of this makes it impersonal. 2) You also don't have any clue if anyone is talking to anyone prior to your messaging, you don't exactly have any real deal of what people are looking for (You see a lot of vague terms for wants and a lot of "a couple descriptive sentences that aren't always well thought out" because many people don't want to give decent descriptions)and sometimes we ignore the "Last time online" notice in the corner of the profiles. Basically you don't always get a decent picture of what you're up against. Not like you have a super clear or great picture when you 1st meet anyone but you have even less of a window on here. (Pun optional) 3) Just because this is online doesn't mean you get out of or get away from the whole deal with avoiding your subcultural mentality levels in your surrounding areas. True, you have the potential for an out or expanding your area for searches but largely people are doing this to meet people in their area who they may not come across regularly in their local movement patterns. The mini social hangups, the mini social bs, the mini social stereotypes and the localized society you're in (and interact with)are all still there. You're just expanding your ability to be able to interact with more of them. Now all of this shouldn't tell you to BS, lie or make things up (mostly cuz you eventually get found out and it'll damage someone and yourself from finding someone everyone should be with). It does however mean that the best thing you can do is to sort of be individually personable with other people. Aside from promoting a stand out factor for yourself (cuz you don't always know what'll stand out to people and messaging is a general direct way to get that to happen), figure out a way for the words you put together to show you out a bit. Don't go nuts with an autobiography, just think of how you'd say it in person and try to articulate things like that. Also, one thing you may want to look at as well (And I'm sort of shooting at generalities here but this is one people fall into a lot so I'll cover it for a "just in case") is if you're intentionally trying to go for a specified type of person. Don't get me wrong here, it's cool to know what you want and I can't say it's bad but if you're noticing a pattern with no replies, look for a pattern in your deal with who you're interested in too. This could be anything from a specific appearance level to something that's appears in write ups. Question what you're revolving your "who I decide to extend messaging over" factors a bit as well. It may be playing into things a bit. |

Bored in relationship!

FWB +Friends With Benefits (So basically a "hook up buddies" scenario where you are just people willing to handle each other carnally.)
and, From what I gathered from the topic post and the initial intro line/comment for the topic... If you're "bored in a relationship" and you want a "FWB situation", you may as well be real about it and ask people if they want to cheat with you/help you cheat. It's basically what you're doing. Otherwise if you're not looking to be open, real and maybe try to fix things in the relationship then get out of the relationship and be real about things for everyone involved. All are free to do what they want to that way and also you don't needlessly psychologically and emotionally mess anyone up in the process. If what you're in isn't right for you the worst thing you can do is stay in it. Whether it be for the set up or for the appearances or whatever that you're caught up on, it's selfish and jacked up because you're using everything around you to cater to you not having to change. Oh, In the future, "Nonjudgemental" doesn't mean "Will not care about being a potential 3rd party in a cheating situation I'm looking to start and perpetuate". The word you're looking for is "apathetic" (doesn't care) and it would be in regard to enabling you to use them for carnal needs because you won't leave your relationship for whatever reason you're not looking to leave it. |

Yeah, like you're hiding the most basic human factor here... The ability to see who you actually are. The problem with not having anything but a text format for any of it makes "no pic dating" sketchy and potentially troublesome.
Otherwise, not showing a face has the basic call of "They're hiding something" and given the nature of the site (Dating on all levels), it makes faceless people look more like: -Potential cheaters/people looking to have affairs (If I hide my face and follow the set up, nobody finds out... Well until it's too late really.) -Too self conscious (So you run the risk of getting ditched on a potential meet up with a "Faceless person" because they chickened out. "No face = Nobody to get mad at = easy out form no backlash" type of a thing.) -Talking for someone else (In essence it's someone else doing the blind dating for someone else at the expense of the person they're talking to with a pic) -Wanting the ability to just disappear from out of nowhere (So you can just ignore or drop anyone you're talking to with the illusion of "no real consequence" for the action) -Someone looking for attention but remaining hidden (instead of getting out of a bad relationship using a person as a emotional crutch so they'll just stay in the mess they're enabling to happen) -Potential Scammer (They have no actual pic so they'll be able to say they are anyone. If no two stories from people on the site add up to what's been said it gives the scammer more hangtime because they can say that the people causing the problem for them are the real scammers making trouble.) There's also a new one that I've noticed popping up and t mixes up with the "disappearing act" a lot. Faceless people wanting to go right to email, sending pix and then asking you to rewrite your own intro/description of your profile to them in the vernacular of the country they're looking to scam. This way they can't be detected as easily by people reading over a profile and are writing more than some "generic crap sentence that really explains nothing about a person". It's to everyone's benefit to be real as much as you can (especially since you lack presence and voice inflection) if you mean it on a dating site. Otherwise "Wishy-washy movie BS" of "If they love me for me the face won't matter" doesn't really apply when you have nothing else to go on but how a person articulates themself on a general font, in general page lay out and all within a general dating area (the miles you're willing to go around you = the general public, mentality and subculture you're looking to be dating within). |

This tax also immortalizes lobby groups (med insurance, med supply and big pharmies) and the price will go up as dollar values go down. It's just supposed to go slowly since everyone's forced to pay into it. And yes, Obamacare basically has a penalty fee if you can't pay in full.
Well the majority of the voters enabled a pro provider healthcare system if they voted Dem or GOP. None of those parties (Libertarians aren't doing it either) are pushing for universal healthcare which we need given that we're 50% on or below poverty. This is what happens when your Dems and GOP keep reaganomics alive and the majority of your public doesn't notice anything wrong with how that works. Clinton sort of did this with big tobacco. He put the taxation down to give money to states with bad economies creating a dependence on keeping cigs to get states funds they can't generate themselves. His bs line of "Price increases to help stop smoking" not only didn't make sense but when you couple it with cig companies putting in slightly more nicotine as years go by (The addictive stuff that keeps you coming back that they actually add more of to the cigarette. The plant itself produces low levels in comparison to the addition of more nicotine), the deal basically created a way to keep money coming in by playing off a person's addiction. So you have person's dependency vs. the states with bad economies getting a financial dependency all on tobacco. Now when you put clinton and gingrich in on their addition to healthcare, basically solidifying it (pro reaganomically) as a business that can call their own prices (not as a need), Obamacare added to it by ensuring that the business will have an immortalized stream of money coming from you. That also means larger lobby groups to buy off Dem & GOP elected officials. (That makes the sysrem "pro provider", not pro the need of the people.) The people are supposed to follow based on the sales idea from basically human psychology of "I want to live, I'll find a way". Vote green if you want reallocation of funds (much of which would come out of an overly priced military budget that doesn't really go for the enlisted people but more for hardware and military contractors),a people 1st system and universal healthcare. |

Also sea life has been affected and you have the US government as a whole helping to cover for it damaging anything here. The radiation's made it's way to Cali by way of the water (particles carried on oceanic currents) so we have a whole ecological disaster going on (Again... We had a spill in the gulf already and our fracking has been causing loads of damage.) The best part? After the Japanese PM made statements to switch out of Nuclear power they basically decided to ignore it and keep right on as is. The Japanese Dem party even called trying to end the use of nuclear power "unrealistic". Now that's a great win for nuke power and a bad call of the people and it all helps to suppress clear renewable energy from cropping up. Fishing's also taken a hit by this too (Here and in Japan).
Given the nature of the states and nuclear power which basically is: We had a virtual moratorium on it, that we are near the shelf life for most of our plants in the country, there's no safe disposal of the waste material and that we've already breathed life back into the plants in 2010 when 2 new ones were built in Georgia (Obama pushed it and one thing to keep in minds is our actual policy on nuclear power is to deregulate it so we don't have to pay for upkeep), not talking about this here keeps people from putting things together here. Also, with job creation from the 2 plants, it made no real dent in the country wide issue of "50% on of below poverty level". Also, GE had meds for radiation sickness so the US already has a corporate drop off for the people if things get worse. Hell, GE got radioactive drugs passed by the FDA (<---Monsanto runs it and the government as a whole enables monsanto). Reaganomically it works for GE to make money off a potential disaster, in actuality it doesn't work for the people. It also mirrors off how healthcare works here. We only have "pro provider" systems that have been able to run on "We'll call our price and let human psychology of 'I want to live' cover the means people will go thru to pay" since clinton and gingrich made it a business instead of solidifying it as a need. |

Yes, but it'll have to be put in a level where you're not looking to rail the dude for doing what he did. Your explanation should be covering the deal along the lines of presenting the actuality of what he was doing while maintaining a "look, seriously you should know about this". They'll want to see proof so be ready to show that.

Are you seeing this face based on not being over the ex in some places or are you afraid of the same thing happening again?
If you're afraid of the same thing happening again, remember that the current person and the last person who the heartbreak came from should be different people. If they are then you're freaking out over your past more than paying attention to what/who is right in front of you. The deal with the heartbreak came from the fact that you were with the person you were. It came from them and their inability to live up to understanding and honoring that. It did not come from you telling them how you feel for them. |

It was passed somewhere in late 2011 - early 2012 to have drones flying overhead "for protection". They were set to be in our skies by 2014.
However they were not only up earlier but they were handed out to various law enforcement groups in a few southern states (generally more governmentally compliant than the rest of the nation and are staunch about "confusion of respect with fear" within their practices by way of "how law and the people work") to normalize their use socially. Between things like the news (I think it was CNN) putting up stories like a drone going down in Iran (the drone was sold like a soldier that got shot all "tragic like", not that we were spying on a country we were looking to pick a war with) and the daily show doing their usual "Just play down the admin and laugh it off so you normalize it as a joke" deal while selling them to the public as "okay", we've had a lot more push for that than real things like: Actual civilian casualty counts, the fact that we have a drone caucus, drone strikes are determined by a presidential kill list, that drone use started with W. and hasn't ended with Obama, and that (in actual action) our government as a whole is fine with their use. It's a problem when the actual human face of the situation drones have created (at home and abroad) shows that their use has been virtually sociopathic in nature. If you have to sell it to your public on deflection and not on what they've actually done/been used for then that's a really bad sign. If you want to take drones out of our skies it's basically about voting out the Dems & GOP who are in power (Mind you, the government regulates society directly or chooses those who regulate specific things within society directly. They also do decide things like "is military action warranted"). It take bipartisanship to keep this/drones up too. |

Dems and GOP only make "pro provider" systems.
Obamacare is a way to immortalize already bloated lobby groups of Medical Supply, Medical Insurance and Big Pharmies. It has no caps, the rates are just supposed to rise slowly due to everyone having to pay in (, it cuts generic cheaper drugs out to be covered, and it also has a penalty if you can't afford all of it (but you still can't use it). It also does nothing to end our "treatment methods, not cures" methodology of handling, it also doesn't take into account that supply can call their own shots on pricing, companies already upping prices due to Qe3 and Qe4's dollar devaluation on the people, ignores the fact that we're 50% on or below poverty level and we have a cumulative unemployment rate of about 20% nation wide. Now the "voucher plan" the GOP were trying to push for a little bit (before around the end of the last prez race when they were looking to keep obamacare but with a few tweeks) would have worked the same way but in reverse. You'd end up having a quota for vouchers (Since Clinton and Gingrich made healthcare a business, there's been quotas on "charity care" so it's safe to say that it would exist here too). That in turn means that you'll end up having to pay out of pocket to get more of what you need for medical care. That will just go up the chain on the ground level to the same people in the long run leaving it more on the medical supply and hospital side to send the money around. Each version doesn't work functionally for the people (because it works reaganomicly for profit) but has a manipulation point on a person because of the base psychology for people of "I want to live!". So each system really works against people in all sorts of ways and neither option is actually "Pro the needs of the people". We need real universal healthcare and it's possible to get by cutting a needlessly high, reaganomics friendly, military budget. (You just need to vote Dems & GOP out of office, keep any party that's "pro the money and pro privatization to the wealthy" out of office and put in functional parties who have it on their platform. Currently the Green Party is the only one who has universal healthcare on their platform.) Universal healthcare would require audits (for pricing), would promote treatments over cures (it's more functional to cure people since it will cost more to just "treat"), would end the need for medical insurance (bye bye bloated lobby group) would put a leash on big pharmies (which we all need) and would also end medicare/medicade in a totally functional way. Who can use it? Citizens! The people win and it would come out of existing tax levels. No extra fees that you can't exactly afford (Especially since obamacare is a tax that just enables lobby groups.) If you also throw in "ending the FED" into the mix (Greens are looking to do that along with stripping down the big banks of 80% of their holdings, reregulatiing them and putting a more democratic and stable system in for bank investing to generate money) you end up getting massive price decreases because our debt is fake due to the FED being a privatized, centralized for profit bank that prints our money. That "Debt" = profit to the FED. |

Not at all...
Actuality here is that we have a secular nation. Such things as a merger of church and state don't actually exist in as much as corporation and state's merger do. When it comes to the myth about shari law coming over here, that was used as hype and to deflect bad legislation coming out. Particularly to try to push the idea that some religious fundamentalists are going to invade. They're not. IT was just a way to gain a fear reaction (because we're a society that's extremely good at "Reacting before thinking")in order to be okay with the rights losses we've gotten VIA the bipartisan passing of NDAA & the Patriot act. You also do realize that if it were to happen in a town or city the governor of the state can repeal that, right? It's just the same way that it would happen to a whole state, the federal government can repeal that. You also have things like "courts" that you would end up getting "the passing of such laws" struck down along the way. Now breeding isn't an issue because people are naturally made to breed with each other. If you breed with someone who has a slightly different skin pigmentation than you do then you can still have a functioning human being as an outcome(Provided there was care while the fetus was forming that is). You'll also take notice of how many successful birth humans have had with other species... NONE! |

They exist. Finding/meeting the right person takes time and patience too. It's good that you're up and ready for the whole deal with being in a relationship but the deal with finding the right person for anyone also requires them to be in the right place for you too. Since everyone is also is an individual in an individual place, you may have to be patient for a bit. It also happens to everyone at some point or another so don't let the passage of time make you judge yourself inappropriately.
This also isn't a bad thing. You're clearly putting yourself in a position to meet people and you're leaving yourself open to be discovered. This also means that you're going to be able to talk, ask questions and get to know people who want to get to know you. So use the "hang time" that you have between "meeting people" and "officially declaring you're in a relationship with '(Put person's name here when applicable)' " to see who the people interested in you are. Times when we are single are also times when we are sort of put in places where we can improve our line of sight, resolve any internal conflicts, build communication skills, and build our own understandings of ourselves & other people. So this isn't exactly like you're in a void, this is more like you're in a place that you can maneuver and grow more as who you are. Granted, it's not the same gratification or kind of growth as having a "significant other" sharing life with you would be. You know this, I know this, other onlookers will notice this, forest critters probably know this... However, when you put it into context with the idea of finding "Mr. or Ms. Right"/"Your Soul Mate"/"The Person For you" (or however you want to word it) for anyone, at least one out of the two sides of a soul mate needs to be able to see (and distinguish) the other 1/2 of the soul mate set up. This actually gives you time and the ability to make sure you can see them for yourself when they do appear as well as making sure they can see you are for them in return. Otherwise chill, be real, be open, ask questions, talk and remember that it's a two way street. |

I think part of our problem with "finding life" is the expectation in looking for a deal of "It has to be similar to humans". I mean we are looking for planets that mimic this one (but won't because they're in a different place with different things involved in their creation and growth). That in itself shows a level of expectation that everything should mimic the basic idea for life here. I feel that's probably the thing that's also limiting our ability to find it. We're not thinking it'll come in any form as much as we should.
Meanwhile we have things like archeo bacteria (it can survive in harsh environments like geysers) and even sulfur based life in our ocean depths. Living rocks also sorta does work. We have those same beds in Australia (I'm damn sure it's in "Oz") which are basically really low level collective organism colonies. |
