I've never really found that to be flattering, and now it's tiresome. The ones that really tick me off are the ones who use a location name that the state they're supposedly in doesn't have, but my state does. I've reported some, but it's kind of like Whack-a-Mole.

I signed in after a couple of weeks away, and there were 46 new "Matches."

"Eleanor Rigby" --The Beatles

Actually, life is like a jar of hot peppers. What you do today could burn your a** tomorrow.

Time for the "candy is dandy, but . . . " jokes. I guess that could be a whole new thread.

"King of Nothing"--Seals and Crofts

Good one.

And another gem from TMommy.

Well, I can't speak for what "most" men do, but I'll admit that guys might be less likely to actually read profiles.
But from the almost-daily "MutualMatches" I've been getting, a lot of women don't read profiles, either. (Or maybe they're just scammers.)
I'm now on a second page of "matches," and all those blonde 26-year-olds from California are messing up my game of "collecting" all fifty states.

So those of us who want to know if there are shared interests, etc. will continue to read the profiles. I mean, if you don't see a real potential match there, why waste time and electrons contacting someone, or even just blindly clicking the "Match with Him/Her" button?

I guess the people (both genders) who don't read profiles will just continue with their "to whom it may concern" ways. As Bruce Hornsby said, "That's just the way it is." {shrugs}

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door"--Bob Dylan

That's probably been posted already, because there really aren't all that many English words that begin with 'k', but I couldn't search the forum to find out. ('K' is fifth from the bottom in frequency tables, but more frequent than j, x, q and z.)

Damages? The little germ became a celebrity, a darling of the left. (Meaning the "useful eejits" who couldn't see it as a probable ploy cooked up by one or both parents.)

Why, so they can b¡†¢4 that many people in town dislike them?

And a bunch of people in hell want ice water, too.

Here's some music-on-hold they can listen to when they call to ask if they can "come home."
"You cain't always git whatchoo wa-ant"

Well, don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I got another one today from a thirty-something in another state. At least she was in a town that I might have been to once, although it would have been decades ago.

And I haven't even worn my "Stud Muffin" t-shirt in any photos. (Actually, it says "Geezer--formerly known as 'Stud Muffin'.")

"Gun control" does not equal "crime control," but Michael Bloomberg's puppets in the groups with names using words like "Gun Sense" and "Gun Safety" will never accept that.

It's more about "control" than about guns, anyway.

^^^ Good one.
All those terms of endearment are better than "hey, you."

If you include a comment or question about something you read in her profile, that can be a good start. It helps show that you actually read the profile.

I should be practicing my music, but the rest of the household is asleep, so I'm here instead.

Some nights, Mingle2 is better than anything on TV. (Which led me to go watch the video for that Springsteen song, "57 Channels (And Nothin' On).")

Yeah, George Carlin or somebody once asked "Do you realize how many of each you have to buy to make that come out even?"

Although some bakeries are now making packages of eight buns.
Breakthrough!

If you don't want to communicate with them, set your filters to block messages from anyone beyond a certain distance. I'm still getting "Matches" from women in faraway places (the latest a 27-y/o in Denver), but the only lady (big difference) who's further than 50 miles from me who I receive mail from is SassyEuro. (I hope that makes her feel "special." )

Which reminded me of the old "I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was."

I know if I laugh, it'll just encourage you guys, but I can't help it.

Good one. I hadn't heard of that before, but Googled "Seinfeld worlds theory," and there it was. All ooooover the Interwebz.
Once again, I've learned something new just by reading this forum.

And another classic from TMommy, too.

I got another "Match" today, the first from Washington state.
It's not one of my favorite ZZ Top songs, but it's the first thing that came to mind:
"I'm bad, I'm nationwide.
Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide."

"Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" --Steam
One of the writers was the guy who wrote and produced "Green Tambourine" and other numbers for The Lemon Pipers. There actually was no group called Steam at the time the song was released, but its sales eventually exceeded 6.5 million copies.
"The song's chorus remains well-known, and is frequently used as a crowd chant at many sporting events, generally directed at the losing side when the outcome is all but certain."

"Juke Box Hero" -- Foreigner

I wanted to go with "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song" by Three Dog Night, but it turns out it's actually called "An Old Fashioned Love Song." But I still get to mention that it was written by Little Enos Burdette from the Smokey and the Bandit films.
