Sorry, that was Mickey Thomas.

I think that was released in 1978, right before the band went to "Jefferson Starship." That was Marty Balin on vocals. He and Grace Slick left shortly thereafter and the band hired Micky Thompson. I thought he was super.

I think the concept of a "Mr. Right" is a misused paradigm. It is an ideal for some man who may possess certain admirable traits (or possess less unappealing traits than others). It is also a subjective analysis. What might seem ideal to one woman may be undesirable/unappealing to another. "Mr. Right" is only likely to exist in fiction/romance novels.

In the real world, we men sometimes have a carbuncle or two. The differencce between myself and other men is that I readily admit my "flaws." I also recognize the flaws in any potential girlfriend/wife. I used to have a notion of a "Ms. Right." But, I have since pared those requirements down to a few modest traits.

I caught the boot in a raging stream. I felt a tug and thought I had a real live one. I wrestled it ashore and it was a work boot.

Angling is a competitive sport. I haven't had much luck fishing though. All that I have caught are a 2 pound snapping turtle and a steel-toed boot.

I don't really expect to meet my soulmate on Mingle2. I don't because most of the interesting women I meet live several states over and because many women are on this site for friendship and blogging, ONLY.

So, right now, I will settle for stimulating conversation and making new friends. One can never have too many friends.

I have always been drawn to the competitive nature of sports. As a youth, I competed in Football, Track and Field, Golf, Tennis, and Baseball. Sports have always been a part of my life as a competitor or a fan. I was wondering if any of the female Mingle2 patrons felt the same way? If so, what sports do you favor.

I would say your chances are "excellent." I say that because those so-called gorgeous girls often "have their noses in the air." The would-be beaus they reject will seek comfort elsewhere. If you keep posting in this section, you WILL get noticed.

I am not sure of your age bracket/definition of older men. But, I have changed as I have matured. I am secure in who I am, I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I know what I want out of life. I am not "hung up" on looks in a girlfriend anymore. I now seek the company of intelligent women. I am starting to get a faint "touch of gray" around my temples. I have come to accept and appreciate people for their own unique characteristics. Maybe these things are the natural product of maturity.

I always found that "chance encounters" provide the best opportunity rather than a deliberate dating site/bar/club environment. I took some graduate classes at the local university and I met many interesting, single women. I have also met women at the gym, Barnes & Noble bookstore, and other unexpected places. That has just been my experience and it has worked for me because I think people are more relaxed when they aren't trying hard to impress/meet someone.

I joined in January 2009. I was inactive for several months in the late Summer and early Fall. But, I have been drawn to the blogs as of late.

Sorry, that was au contraire and contiguous...I am a stickler for spelling.

Au contrair. Texas is the second largest state in the continguous United States and is ably represented by Mingle2 patrons. I am from San Antonio, which should be a 3 hour hop down I-35. You might have trouble finding Texas guys because......we are shy.

Knowledge is not and was not Satan's to give or impart. All knowledge is possessed by God. God is perfect. But, all other beings are created. The created beings are imperfect. That is why we falter. Satan may have brought the awareness of knowledge to Eve, but it was not his to convey, nor did he create it. God does have infinite knowledge. He knew that his only begotten son would suffer and die on the cross, for it was recorded before Christ died (in the Bible). Created beings are imperfect in part because we exercise our own "free will". That "free will" naturally brings us afoul of God and his word, because we pursue sinful things.

Without God and the concept of heaven, man is finite. Th oldest recorded age was 120 years in modern times. The only way man can become infinite and without sin is to literally stand in God's presence. If you believe in heaven, that will occur.

As far as man being all-powerful because of technology, that is absurd. Let me give you an illustration. If all the hydrogen bombs inb the world were detonated at once; that would equate to 15 billion tons of TNT. If for example, an asteroid were to strike the earth like the Cretaceous one, that would equate to 100 TRILLION tons of TNT and possibly extinguish life on earth. My point, there are things in nature which far transcend our finite capabilities.

You are cute and friendly. Your bio tells about who you are and what you are currently doing. You might want to add a few more photos. Guys like lots of photos of pretty women.

I am sorry to hear that you have been bombarded by "weirdos." I really like Mingle2. But, a few nights ago, I had a "lively" discussion in the chat room with several patrons who thought that Mingle2 didn't have the same kind of "weirdos" as other sites. I disagreed.

As I tried to explain, if you have a representative group of the population, you are going to get a few "oddballs." I also tried to inform these ladies that there are ways around the screening filter mechanism. They balked.

Generally, when women don't respond to mens' messages, most men take the hint that they are unwelcome, unwanted, and not desired. One thing you can do is to clearly state what you DISLIKE in a man. The men possessing those traits should get the idea and refrain. If they persist, contact the administrator {and or} tell them that you "have found someone" on this site and are not available anymore.

I disagree that Man "becomes like God" the more technology we acquire. To be God-like in the Christian sense means to be all-powerful, perfect, without sin, and all-knowing. Man could never be "perfect" because we are inclined to sin. As far as being all- powerful, the bible says that "man can't even make himself grow one inch in height."

You asked where knowledge comes from. It originates from God.

There is no understanding the psychology of dating or why people lose interest. I have lost interest when it was too easy and I didn't have to work very hard in the relationship. When I was younger, I liked a challenge. Usually, in a relationship, one person works harder and gives more emotionally than the other. One reason might be that the person was not as you or they thought. As time goes by, you learn more about an individual and that can lead to disenchantment. You know the old saying, "you never really know someone until you live with them."
