*chortle*

Now that I have your attention, I just wanted to share two observations. Some folks take themselves wayyy too seriously. And what's up with guys who try to smother you when you've only been communicating here for a day or so?

The first relates to people who use adjectives like "normal," "stable," to describe themselves, or to those who proclaim that they don't want drama. Well boys and girls, if you're normal and stable, that will be clear from your profile. If you aren't, that will also be clear and saying that you are won't make it true. And anyone who DOES want drama isn't going to admit it in a dating profile! Silly.

The second relates to a fellow who asked to chat on another site. I agreed because his messages here seemed nice enough. But he gave me the third degree about my living situation (what kind of house, whether I own it etc.) and then started bugging me all day long. He became testy when I said, "No, sweetie, I have to work." The good thing is that apparently my not wanting to get engaged (j/k) within the first 24 hours apparently discouraged him so he stopped contacting me. It was a relief that he got the hint, and I've since changed my profile to make it clear that I don't want an instant relationship--that I want to find a friend and build on that.

Just sayin'.

What's a "gits"?



Welcome to mingle2.

Rude or despicable fellows.

Think about it...10 to 1 odds, 10 men and only 1 woman; if you faced similar odds I would figure you might do things differently as well.

Addressing the second part, they might be normal to them but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be normal to you. Take me for instance, my normal is apparently so unique that no one else shares the same definition, so me being normal in my situation I could justify saying I'm normal on a profile as well...You'll never catch me doing it, but I could justify it if I wanted to.

I find it funny that you think just by changing your profile to reflect what you want they're actually going to bother to read it...This site is free, most contact is from a visual standpoint, if you look pretty it doesn't matter what you have on your profile cause they're going to fly right by it and not even bother before emailing you; we're naturally visual creatures, sight is the most used of the senses.

I wasn't aware of the fact that profiles should never be edited once they've been created. I thought that was the purpose of the edit button. And evidently, changing one's image doesn't count? *snort*

Oh, and dear...I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but everyone thinks of themselves as unique. In one sense, we might each be unique. But not nearly as unique as most of us seem to think we are. I like to refer to it as "getting over myself." I remind myself to do so often.

I'll change it as often as I damned well please. I'm a writer...I like to play with words. If the ADD types on here (of which there seem to be many) are too lazy to read it, that's fine by me. They aren't the ones I want to meet, anyway.

Another thing, Fear & Loathing (is that supposed to be clever? you seem a bit young to even grasp HST): Since you seem to be the repository of so much wisdom--not surprising from a 28-year-old who needs to hang out on a dating site--I wonder if you can tell me whether it's the guys who are so afraid of their own looks that they post graphics and generic avs rather than their own photos who are judging which girls are "pretty enough" to talk to? I know I'm not beautiful, especially for someone your age who can't see past the Barbie doll you probably dream of landing--but at least I am comfortable enough in my own skin that I don't hide behind the eye of Sauron or the anarchy symbol.

*Cracks knuckles*

You started this...

I wrote about Hunter, I've read all of his books and even read about his attorney Oscar, his family, and the county he tried to become sheriff of...I read a lot and have been a fan of Hunter for a pretty long f*ing time now.

28 years of a hard f*ing road, if I might add...I've been through half of the United States (well, 24 states anyway) into Canada, even Mexico for a couple of hours. Died before I turned 16, learned to walk again before I had a driver's license, all those things you take for granted? You know, math, science, English, so on, all of them, every single one I had to learn from the ground up at the young age of 14 so don't give your BS that I don't know s* because I'm 28...I've been through a hell of a lot more than most people twice my age; and I'd wager I've been through a f*ton more than you have.

I didn't judge s*, I gave you real reasons why these things happen...I don't give a flying f* if you don't want to know them, or don't want to acknowledge them because they are there independent of your personal thoughts.

I don't post pics because I'm not here to date, I have friends I have developed through the years and some of them know what I look like, some of them have even met me. I have no interest in relationships at all, I deem them relatively worthless for what I am trying to do with my life, I have plans that cannot include anyone else but me. If you'll notice I've almost been here seven years now, I don't need someone who just joined and doesn't even know me trying to jump on attacking me because they lack the cognitive ability of a 28 year old to understand what was said.

And I'm out...Don't like advice you should second guess asking questions.

Someone on this thread was rude, and it wasn't a fellow.

Please remember

1) Do not attack/slam/insult others. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, use the Report Post link within that post. If you reciprocate instead, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences as the attacker. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning!

Get it back on the topic

OP (original poster), you were meeting what we call "scammers". Scammers immediately try to take you off site to communicate because everything on site is regulated and can be tracked and protected. They usually go for yahoo messenger or something like that. Yes, the drama queens and kings of the world often post "No drama". And what one of the other posters was referring to is that people do not read profiles they do what is called an "idiot hit" which is they look at a picture and send you a message regardless of what your profile says. Not that your profiles should never be changed just that most idiot hit types will not read it. You could write "And by the way, I have 15 contagious STDS and live out of my car" in the middle of your profile and seriously some people would still see your nice picture (which is nice by the way) and STILL message you. Scammers also try to lock you in within fifteen seconds of meeting you. And please do not get nasty with other posters that is called "flaming" and it's not allowed and considered very rude. Everyone is entitled to their opinion regardless of age, race, creed, nationality, etc. There are some very wise 20 somethings and some very air headed 60 somethings. It's all about life experience. Highest regards.

Alright...you kids fight nice or I swear to God I am turning this car around RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Ok...back on topic...

1.....I ain't bright enough to spell pretentious.

B....no idea what a "git" is in the context you are obviously missusing. In the south we say...."hey y'all ...les go git some beer ".

And finally...most guys are flakes.


Next question .......

:)

Bahahahaha....^^^^^

is that a frog you're riding?

Actually ...it's a lady bug.

....and......yeeaaah...."riding "...THAT'S what I am doing....

Hehehe

(((( fear))))

right - meant to add that I was not yawning at this amazing story of his. I think posted at the same time back there

Cheers ((((2Kids)))) and ((((sweetest))))...You're both too sweet.

have a blast!
