Hello to all,
my favourite song is "Lonely men" performed by the Pooh, an italian very famous rock band. That song gives a very incisive message of encouragement to all the men who are single. First, it says that there are many and many men in the same condition, and that can be single for a large variety of reasons, because they seek working success, because they had bad experiences, because their mothers didn't let them free, and so on. Then it encourages them to try again, to try "to change this life before it changes us", "to learn about the women" and possibly "to change a bit for them". I think the Pooh are very good psychologists :-)

And that song has beautiful music, also. Here's a video of the song's first performance

This song is in Italian and the vast majority of you don't know that language, at most Spanish, French and Portuguese speakers can understand something. However, I'm reporting the full English translation, so that you can understand its profound meaning.

---------------------

You meet them where people travel and go to phone
With the aftershave that tastes of rain and the 24-hours suitcase
Lost in the evening newspapers
or in the coming and going of a waitress
But why every day, evening comes?

Sometimes a man is lonely
because he has strange torments in his mind
because he's afraid of sex
or he's craving for success
to write the romance he has inside
because life has already put him to the wall
or because in a false world, he's a real man

God of the cities, and of immensity
If it's true that you're there, and you've travelled more than us
Let's see if we can learn this life
or maybe change it a little, before it changes us
Let's see if we can make ourselves be loved as we are
without tormenting ourselves with neurosis and jealousies anymore
because this life knocks down, and who's knocked down
sleeps or dies, or makes love

There are men who are lonely for the thirst of adventure
because they studied to be priests
or because of twenty years in prison
because of mothers who have never weaned them
because of women who have refused and lost them
or just because they're different

God of the cities, and of immensity
If it's true that you're there, and you've travelled more than us
Let's see if we can learn these women
and maybe change a bit for them
maybe change them a bit for us
But God of the cities, and of immensity
We see that you're there, and that you don't have any problems
But down here we aren't in the sky
and if a man loses the thread
he's just a lonely man.

Hello, this is my first post in this forum. There are a lot of things that can turn me off in others' profiles, but the worst I came across so far is rejecting people from certain geographical areas. Furthermore, they reject very large geographical areas, not small ones! I came across a profile in which it is said "Asians don't waste your time", but Asia is populated by billions of people that can be extremely different one from another, how can you say a thing like that?

So far, I have never read "Italians don't waste your time", but even if it's not my area, it's the same. A women that is so close-minded that she thinks that people from a certain geographic area are all unsuitable a priori, then definitely it is not my woman. Another thing is when you have a preference for certain geographical areas, I also do, and when you prefer to get in touch with someone close to your place.
