Paterafan ~

I love a straight-up person. He must have been reading from his OTHER
boards...

gterry,

BAM! Baby, you just keep mirroring myself back to me.
Thank you again!

I've come across those, too. My first impression is that they are
guilty of "wishful thinking". Then my gut tells me they're just
"lurkers" or "trolls".

BLOCKED. Next...!

Andreww,

That remark didn't go unnoticed...LOL! But I wouldn't necessarily
repeat that remark to your wife ~

T&T,

I wasn't singling you out. Please don't think that I was. I am not
mean spirited.

Breezy,

I, too, am quite comfortable with my own company these days. I don't
feel the pressure to remarry as most women my age do, and that
self-assuredness and personal comfort level apparently make me all the
more desirable. No one wants a "needy" partner.

There's always call girls...

I don't care to share time and space with people who "want to get back"
at this one or that one, for whatever reason.

I think that gterry05 hit the nail on the head when he questioned, "you
harmed me, so I'm going to harm you?". If we all thought, felt and
acted that way, we might as well just go back to walking on all fours.

My response to relationship immaturity and payback behavior is to cut
bait and go fish somewhere else.

I wish more men were "clued" (as you seem to be) enough to ask. Your
topics and answers strike me as very genuine, and I appreciate your
point of view.

Thanks!

Love is VERY real to me.

I love being in love! Been married twice ~ thinking that each was
"forever". We, as humans, change...and so do the relationships. Sad
but true.

I am currently interviewing for the role of my next ex-husband.

KIDDING, alright? Sheesh...

Most often, I've found that "no photo" (on this or the other sites I'm
on) meant the person was trying to hide something, or that they were
just online for kicks. If something in the profile appealed to me, I'd
request a picture. If they don't post one or send one directly...BLOCK
'EM. If I'm upfront enough to put my face out to the world, standing up
and saying, "This is IT", I expect the same in return.

Your question has been answered. Sorry you don't like the answer.


Honeyrobber:

I've always assumed that the Irish and Native Americans were especially
drawn to each other because "water seeks it's own level". Both are
markedly loyal, passionate about whatever it is they do and who they
love, and are steeped in honor.

Cooldud01 ~

Woo hoo, Dude, correct answer!

But before I went smooth, I was darker south than north. I am (roughly)
half Irish and half Blackfeet/Sioux, so I am more auburn than red. And
I come by it naturally ~ as I do my temper.

To the faint of heart, "stand back from the fire".

Sweetie, you're just meeting the wrong gals right now. Don't fall for
the first pretty face that comes along, and don't believe all the things
those pretty faces tell you. A good person will be able to take the
time to write, to IM, to talk on the phone. And over time, a trust will
build.

Don't be so anxious to put the cart before the horse. I've been
divorced 13 years, and I figure, "What's the hurry?" I like my own
company today, and enjoy the freedom eat spaghetti for breakfast and ice
cream for dinner. Not really, but I enjoy the idea that I can choose.

Sit back, get comfortable and enjoy the show! It's wild out here!!!

I am not a hopeless romantic...I am a hopeFUL romantic! No, not all
women are users. But as stated, women like that give gals like me a
rough way to go. I learned some time ago that I cannot convince a man
that all women are not evil soul-suckers. In fact, I don't try to
convince anyone of anything! If you like me, come stand next to the
fire. If not...

...NEXT!

I've been married twice.

The first time, I was 19 and he was 23. We met when I was 15 and he was
19. We were married 5 years...4-1/2 of them, he was "indisposed" (in
prison)...

The second time was the REAL marriage. I was 25, he was 24. Career
soldier. The greates man in the world to me! Until I found out he'd
been cheating with various people for over 3 years, and had fathered a
child. End of "Happily Ever After".

I've now been divorced 13 years, and have been in two serious
relationships in that time. I may remarry...if I meet another man who
can convince me that he will stay true to me.

I love knowing I am "safe" with a man. Not safe from harm, just aglow
with that security of knowing that I am with the right man at the right
time. Feeling the "exhale"...as in "Waiting To Exhale".

To answer, I'll just let you in on my favorite Redhead joke:

Q: How do you know when you've satisfied your Redhead?
A: When she unties you...

I think you're gorgeous. Shut up and kiss me...
