San Diego, California

I used to say age is just a number but based on a last relationship, I have changed my view on that sort of. It's complicated for me; I dated a girl 20 years younger. Longest relationship I ever had actually. Problem wasn't intelligence, she had that. Wasn't maturity (for the most part), she had that. It was the lack of certain life experiences. When things get tough, you need someone who can keep up with you and not make mistakes you've already learned from.

Contrast this with the girl I dated after her who was only a few years younger than me. She had probably too much life experience. Her problem is she was as dumb as a box of rocks. These experiences tell me two things; 1. everyone is different regardless of age and 2. I suck at picking them LOL.

Wow, not many from San Diego here.

Perfectly said. 100% agree with everything :)

Interesting question. let's flip it; how many of us contact someone we wouldn't dream of "doing" in any capacity?

Love is all around. You can see it in the eyes of a mother and her child and see it in the eyes of a friend.

Ok, cheesy song lyrics aside, they do ring true though. There are different kinds of love as mentioned so I'm not sure if it's possible to live without it.

I too am a musician but no. Granted I do electronic dance music, nonetheless most songs that are memorable and people like to hum or sing along to tend to be more repetitive. Even in classical music, simple was often the most catchy. just compare Wagner and Beethoven. the former was rather complex but his music isn't memorable to most people. Almost everyone recognizes Beethoven's music even it they don't know he was the composer. His music was dynamic but relatively simple.

Yes just go through and start "guessing" and voting yes or maybe on member profiles. If they voted yes or maybe on yours, then you'll see them in your MM area.

Providing the feature works for you.

Speaking of sexy women

But I agree with this response 100%

I think you would have to search through them again.

Yep me too. I talk to know one without a picture.

Thanks for the reply Charles. :)

Yes but it's not always the same profile or profiles. Sometimes, it will go to another then back to one then to another (sometimes the same other but not always) then back and get stuck on one over and over. If I do something else and go back it may do it again.

It actually hasn't worked right for me since mingle changed from justsayhi. I use another site with a similar way of picture voting and it never happens there. When I posted this my new system was literally just getting started and I came on mingle to re-establish it in the browser and I checked the mutual match since I know I had no cache and it still does the same thing.

and it's NOT a caching issue! I just built a brand new system and reinstalled windows and everything. This is the very first time I've been on mingle2 with this brand new system and the mutual match still doesn't work properly. There's no cache to empty.

Just thought you might wanna know.

How's you state as it comes to smoking? If you're a smoker, California will seem hostile toward you. You cannot smoke in most public places now, indoor or outdoor. You cannot even smoke now within 25 feet of a bus stop or train or trolley station now. I'm not a smoker so it doesn't bother me at all.

No problem. The East Bay is awesome!

Don't think of the whole Bay Area as San Franciso. SF is a city and county all by itself. Oakland and Berkeley are in Alameda County. San Jose is in Santa Clara County. Each area, while still very nor cal, are distinct within the Bay Area. The East Bay is more affordable than "the city". Almost every place is.

Wow, doesn't sound like that place is meant for people to live in LMAO!

Normal people like us don't live in the city. We live in places near it which are more affordable.
