I've come to notice that ppl use the word f@ck like they would use "and" and "the". I'm no prude and have certainly dropped the f-bomb many times in my life, but it's not part of my everyday vocabulary. What happened to class? Do ppl not care anymore how they come across to others? Use it when it really means something, whatever the situation. I find that when someone uses it too often, it makes them seem like less than what they are, and it doesn't have the same impact it should have anymore.

God, I love the way people looked back then. Woman in those "oh so tight" @ss skirts, and way tall pumps, with pale skin, and bright red lipstick and nails. And the men in those rockin suits and hats, and shiny shoes. People were so classy and elegant back then. love it!!!!!!!! So what have you got? What're you buying? In a small way, another point of my posting this here was to alert some of you who are into it, that... these clothes are still available and some of us still think it looks good.. so I encourage you to do some shopping. :) Kansas City Confidential is one of my biggest persuasions into the 30s/40s/50s world. haha John Payne, Preston Foster.. yah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuRBxRdComk I buy pillbox hats love em,,,, tight tube skirts, silk blouses, garters and stockings, and use a really long cigarette holder. "I vant to be alone". |

I listen to CPDs all the time. Also big band music and LOVE old B&W glamour movies. Do you watch them? Some are pretty sappy, but oh so sweet in their innocence. A lot of times I prefer watching them and escaping into the romance, sweetness and naivete that doesn't seem to exist anymore. Elegant supper clubs with those little lamps on the table. Live bands playing songs to dance to before during and after eating. Torch light singers.
Champaign, cigarette girls, waiters in tuxes, -- all very sexy and appealing. Didn't seem to be a whole lot of confusion about men's and women's relationships. Almost makes me wish that I was born 30 years earlier. But having said all that, there are a lot of things that make our lives easier these days and women are not put out to pasture once they're 40 years old. |

Dating outside your race...?

Haven't ever dated non-white, but only because I've not had the opportunity or met anyone of colour that's asked me out. Wouldn't matter to me one way or another. Good ppl are good ppl, no difference because of skin colour. Such a petty thing to be concerned about.

I am a Huge Fan of the styles from the 30s and 40s. All my friends even know this. I was in a couple of shoe stores my last trip to Post Falls, Idaho and was quite surprised and delighted to see footwear reminiscent of the 40s. The elegance of back then has yet to be matched, as least in my eyes. Days when women actually got dressed up and men looked so stylish. Think, Kate Hepburn, Bette Davies, Lana Turner, Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, Rock Hudson. If I had an opportunity and reason to wear those old-fashioned fashions, I would in a heart beat. Bring back the 30s and 40s!!!!!!!! You have the opportunity as long as you live and breathe. What's stopping you? Public opinion?? c'mon. My reason for wearing them is "I want to". isn't that as good a reason as any? of course, save the real good stuff for formal engagements. Reminiscent is always good, but vintage works well too. You'd be surprised to find many wing-tipped shoes and fedoras, etc on eBay in their original boxes from factories and hatters that have struggled to make ends meet and finally went flop in the 21st century. |

I am 45 years old, and have never slept with anyone. I don't feel desperate, needy, like I'm missing a part of me, or like there's something "wrong" with me. I have an active imagination, and have no problem with the physical aspects of arousal. Am I the only one? I think they made a movie about you a few years back. Actually, that might be one of the coolest things I've heard. Are you saving yourself for marriage or haven't you met that special someone? Or do you have no interest all together. I have so many questions. Me too. Or could he possibly be pulling our collective legs? |

Seems to me that it's not so much a great date as it is some sort of a plan with a means to an end. Maybe you should just call it "How to get a woman into your bed in 10 easy steps". Not saying you're wrong, just that it's waaaaaaaaaay to manipulative. Don't know where you get your "facts" about women from, but I DO find your post very amusing. How is this manipulative? It's simply the steps of the human mating dance. It's nothing more than a way for men to ease women into a sexual relationship. Something we all want to have. It would be so much simpler if a man could just say "I think you are pretty and I'd like to begin a sexual relationship with you. Are you interested?" But, he can't. He must do this dance and play this game for the human race to continue because women demand it. Every step along the way the woman's feelings and comfort are taken into account. There are no head games, lies or manipulations anywhere in this. If you take a few minutes and think about it I'm sure you'll see that your own sexualo relationships started this way or in a similar way. Hate to admit it, but you're right. Sometimes, I think it would be simpler if a man just came out and said what his intentions are. But then, there would never be the thrill of the chase and maybe getting caught. Still getting used to your straight-forwardness. It's a good thing. I'm one that detests game playing, yet, to a degree, we all do it, don't we? |

Alright, here it is. My guide for planning a great date that won't cost you a bank and everyone will have a great time. Okay, so you have sorted through all those phone numbers and eliminated the flakes. You have found at least one woman that trusts you enough to meet you someplace alone. Good for you! The first thing you need to do is RELAX. She made a plan to see you. That means she likes you. You don't have to worry about that. It's your job now to form a real emotional connection with her. You cannot fake this. It has to be real. I can't tell you how to do it, but I can tell you how to make it easy to do. The main thing she needs is time. She wants to talk and get to know more about who you are. So, DO NOT TAKE HER TO A PLACE YOU CANNOT TALK WITH HER. Like a movie or a loud bar. It's going to take her about 15 or so hours with you to feel comfortable enough to begin a sexual relationship with you. You could spread this out over two of three dates or, if you plan well, you could get it all out of the way on a single date. This is the way I do it and it's what I'll be talking about here. Face it, we're men. We want to get to the sex as soon as we can. So, I like to plan a date with the end in mind. I want the date to end with her having breakfast in my bed the next morning. Believe it or not, women want this too. She wants to have sex. She just doesn't want to feel slutty about it. It's our job as men to plan a date that eases her into sex in a way that feels natural. Like it's just the next step to have a great day. The trouble most guys have is they either try to rush her or they leave everything up to her. Rushing her will only make her think she's on a date with an octopus. Waiting for her to make the move sends the single that you don't have the ability to lead the interaction and want to be a follower. Women are attracted to leaders. So, lead her gently all the way to your bedroom. As I said, start with the end in mind. That means you should ask her to meet you at your place or at least somewhere close to your place. I like to start a date at some kind of little local place with a light atmosphere. A coffee house is good. It's even better if you have a few friends there that will say hello, but won't be a bother. This sends the single that you age a cool guy with cool friends. It helps build trust because serial killers don't have friends. So, chat for a while at the coffee house. Just relax and vibe with her. Have fun! But, keep in mind that you need to break the touch barrier soon. This let's her know that you are interested in her as more than a friend. Just give her a little tap on her hand or knee as you make some point in your conversation. The four play has now begun. Throughout the date you should be slowly escalating the physical contact. But, if she seems the least bit uncomfortable STOP! Rewind. Take it back a step or two and start the climb again. This will drive her crazy with desire if you do it right. But, take it very slowly. You should plan the date to have three or four venue changes. This keeps thing fresh , interesting and exciting. So, if she came to your place to meet you invite her in, but do not give her the tour. Allow her to see it and move things along quickly to the next venue. After coffee you could take her to an art gallery or a museum This is good because there are lots of things to see and talk about. Ask her what she liked the most and listen to her reply. Tell her your opinion of what you saw as well. You don't have to agree with her about every detail. If she liked the elephant and you likes the lion that's fine. Just be laid back and cool. The next venue I like to be doing something. This could be shooting pool, bowling, plating darts or whatever. So long as it's interactive. It's alright to have a beer, but don't over do it. She'll be watching to see if you may have a drinking problem. Also you don't want her thinking you are trying to get her drunk. Afr that it's time for dinner. You don't have to take her to a fancy French place with high prices. Just don't take her to McDonald's either. I have found that quaint little local places are the most charming. If they offer some kind of unique food or drink make sure you tell her about it. In fact, you should have already told her about it during the pool game. Y0u want to avoid asking interview type questions like “where are you from?” and “do you live around here?” or “do you live around here?” Instead ask her about her future plans. Ask her about her carrier. Unless she a waitress or something ask her what she finds most “fulfilling” about her work. This is a deeper question than “what do you like about your job?” It makes her think on a deeper level. And it makes her think “wow, this guy is really interested in my life.” And you should be interested in getting to know her on a deeper level. During dinner you can bring up some cool thing you have back at your place. This is sort of planting a seed. It'll give her a reason to come back to your place later. Women need this. She knows the two of you are going back there for sex. But, she needs to feel like she's going over there to see this cool thing and sex “just happened.” I know, it's silly. But, that's how women are. So, give her what she needs. If you notice her yawing or getting tired, order coffee. Or even better espresso. You don't want her felling worn out. After dinner I like to take a woman to a nightclub (not a bar) to see a band. Not a heavy metal or punk band. But a Jazz or Blues band. Again, feel free to have a drink, but don't over do it. If she wants to dance don't freak out. Just get up and do it. All you have to do is step side to side in time with the music. It's like tapping your foot to the beat. Don't worry about looking foolish. She likely can't dance an y better than you anyway. Just have fun looking silly together. If you have been slowing working your way up the touch ladder you may be able to find a good moment for a kiss. It should be in a secluded place in or outside the venue. Don't force it. It should feel like the next natural step. Relaxed and easy. By this time it should be around midnight. Take her back to her car, but invite her back to your place to see that cool thing-a-ma-jig you have there. But, tell her you have to get up early and she can't stay too long. This will calm any fears she may have about coming inside. Again, she's not stupid. She knows sex may happen if she goes back to your place. Once she's there it's your job to make her feel comfortable with whatever happens. It's your job to make things “just happen.” Seems to me that it's not so much a great date as it is some sort of a plan with a means to an end. Maybe you should just call it "How to get a woman into your bed in 10 easy steps". Not saying you're wrong, just that it's waaaaaaaaaay to manipulative. Don't know where you get your "facts" about women from, but I DO find your post very amusing. |
