*High Five*

You got fans, dude! LMAO

And we most certainly can't forget the kitchen table.

If that happened you would never leave the "Love Notes" thread

You forgot the top of the washing machine, while it's on spin cycle

Well I've been sitting here LMFAO... this poor guy is probably wondering "what the hell have I gotten myself into"

I tried to help the brother out with my earlier post LOL

LMAO you girls are a trip...

Both versions of dating, online and real life, have advantages and disadvantages. But essentially you have to go through the same process. Asking questions, finding out their likes and dislikes, what makes them tick, etc.

I kinda prefer the online version. It has more of an air of "mystery" about it. Especially if there are miles between you, you have no choice but to take the time to get to know each other better, then graduate from meeting to chatting to the phone, and learn alot more about each other before the time comes you meet face to face.

If you meet someone for the first time in real life, you still have to go through that same process of getting to know them, but sometimes carnal tendencies take over and you jump each other's bones early on and that can be good or bad for the relationship.

Essentially, either way, it's still a crap shoot.

Hmmmmm, I had been living with her for a year, I walk in one day and find her in my bed with my so called "best friend", her legs in the air and him all up in it. She says to me "it's not what you think"

I'd say she let me down

Sorry, but in this day and age one must make these things clear, so as to avoid any mistaken assumptions

A man can be sensitive without being a "whiny baby" as someone else posted. If he is sensitive to not only her feelings as well as his own. It could be a result of past experiences, being hurt in the past, etc. I would think if he is not at least a little bit "sensitive", he's probably going to be a jerk and treat women like crap. JMO

LMAO

Just a personal preference, nothing more. If a man wants to be bi, or gay, that's all well and good by me, everyone has their preference. My preference is the female body.

As long as I don't have to look at nobody else's

LOL I'm not gonna be bumping nuts with no guy, sorry. She'd be welcome to look at all the man junk she wants, but I'm not.

I could handle the woman I was with being bi, as long as she knows that I'm not.

I don't like looking at my own junk, much less someone else's.

I have looked at alot of profiles here, but yours is the only one that made me stop and think that maybe there really is reason to believe in Santa Claus. They just do not make girls any prettier than you.

I really enjoyed our chat... can't wait to do it again.

The pics on your profile are just fine, you don't need any "racy" pics or you will attract the "racy" individuals. As long as your face can be seen, and a full body pic or two, you'll do just fine. (Just what you have on there now) Good luck in your search.

No one said you had to "pump up a guy's self esteem", my point is, a simple "no thank you, or "sorry I'm not interested" or "sorry I have a boyfriend" or SOMETHING should not be that big of a deal. (As long as the email is sincere and courteous... if it's rude you should delete it)

Just a little simple courtesy shouldn't be too much to ask for.

Oh, and yer welcome

Brother I have no answer for that. I can't speak for the women, (and ain't about to try LOL)

I consider myself to be pretty articulate too, I have no problem speaking my mind on most any subject. Some don't like that, some do. I don't consider my opinion to be better than anyone else's, and I don't consider theirs any better than mine. I may not like their opinion, but I will fight for their right to speak it.

There was one member who caught my eye the very first day I signed up. My first thought was "there's no way in hell she'd give me the time of day" so I moved on. Got ignored a couple times by the rude birds, and got a couple "no thank you" replies. Chatted with one that I met through the forums, and went for pizza with her, had a great time. So last night, dunno why, but I finally got up the courage to email the one I had my eye on. When I clicked send, I told myself this was a waste of time. In just a couple minutes, I had a reply, and after exchanging a bunch of messages we ended up in a chat room for a couple hours and really hit it off. I'm not saying she's "the one", but we had a great time and we found out we have alot of common interests and experiences.

My point is, don't give up just because of a few rude birds. I didn't. If I hadn't sent that email last night I might have never known. If you don't keep trying, you'll never know. It's like my racing... I tried to get into racing with absolutely no experience. It took me 5 years, and I heard the word "no" alot. But I didn't give up, and finally I found a team owner who was willing to give me a shot. Now I'm racing. If I had given up, I'd still be sitting in the stands as a fan. Don't ever give up. The way I see it, the rude birds don't know what they're missing, it's their loss.

Granted, that may be true, but it's probably why they are doing the "internet dating" thing in the first place, because they are shy and not as adept as others at articulating themselves. They might be handsome and a great person and alot of fun, they just happen to be shy around attractive women.
