If one moves in the opposite direction of their goal with any momentum that resembles competency, their goal happens upon them faster. Faster, being a measure of time, not distance in a non-Euclidean atmosphere.

Well, with dating, invariably, someone comes back at you with a you-don't-know-me, or you-don't-own-me statement. Hanging out means you may have to give up your couch and they may ask you to fix them coffee in the morning. Depends how lively your town is. Anyone who has been married can attest that marriage has nothing to do with being in a relationship. Years into it, they come at you with a you-don't-know-me, or you-don't-own-my-country-*** statement. With online associations, just keep your wallet and social security number hidden from new friends. Also, the Beatles record collection.

Welcome Earthling.

Not advisable... I was feeling lonesome in 2010 and wound up at Borders and five libraries, alternatively, ended up reading 800 books, not including every magazine on the shelves for 10 months.

Generally, retired military types don't have that problem.

Helps to be hung.

It's universal, if you donate a kidney, many good things will happen afterwards. Not sure if that applies to you.

I hear Katy Perry's vlogs will cure momentary bouts with loneliness.

Of course, you can go to any costume shop and buy a Russell Brand wig and beard (sunglasses not included) and snake his material from Youtube. Instant winner!!

Whatever you do please don't play repeatedly anything from Judas Priest because you will hear voices...

lol true.

Photobucket is pretty easy to manage albums, unlike Facebook. It's 1024 x 768 btw...

Use Win7 SNIP tool to crop the image and save in a file on your desktop. I use it for web based graphics programs where they want you to upgrade, such as Yahoo's

Once an image is saved it distorts as a .jpeg file regardless. Sharpest is the .png file save. Great for thumbs.

I've never had to set image size on Photobucket because I import at 640 x 480 and reduce by 50% to 320 x 240 and go from there. Sharpness is maintained at that smaller resolution.

Photobucket will let you save as new or write over the file. I just save as new file and keep a master and kick the masters out to flash.

You're right. I can work with the bad form the ladies offer if they make genuine offers to correct themselves. They only try so much to gain your confidence, they don't offer anything but what a man is supposed to believe they will contribute sexually. It isn't about sex, it's way too easy to get sex from women. They're easy, I have no business dating online.

Yeah, but I don't live to make you smile. I'm a narcissist. I live to make me smile.

My ex wife to blow me up with short texts, incomplete thoughts, silliness, I hated it. I hated texting. I'm the sort who prefers face to face talk. I like associations that have a mission, a point. Everything else has to equate to great sex, usually I'm in a monogamous relationship and it's all good. After we divorced I she understood what she was doing wrong with me. We dated after the D. I met a pretty witty gal from Idaho with a 4 year degree in biz economics so we were on par. She had a good job and wanted to get into real estate. I'm a retired producer, she loved how different I was. Our texts were awesome. I got into the habit of saving her texts because I felt she was trying to play me, thought she was smarter than myself. I was brutal with her but she kep coming back for more because she was learning. She was 24, I was 40 and having been in two marriages, she was learning **** from me. I could even remember exact text messages we had for months without having to retrieve them from my phone. We were connected and thoroughly addicted to each other.

She was a lil hooker. Being from the adult biz I know lots of models and hookers. I don't have a problem with them as long as they understand I won't contribute to their bf/pimp's welfare.

Ideally, I want a relationship where I don't have to text. I don;t like to talk much. I do all the communicating at home. It's about achieving goals and being accountable, enjoying time apart. The rest is dumb immature bs.

There are good texters and it seems it's all sufficient to just balance you out so you can live and work and be there for someone who texts or calls when they have bf issues.

Well, I keep the most memorable ones, the ones where we are falling for each other. I choose to deal one female at a time. I stopped texting and talking with many women because they are easy to meet, easy to get a phone number from, generally, many are okay on the first and second dates.

I shouldn't even be paying anymore for dates that I make valuable. I'd be happy hanging out and doing similar interest activities.

The thing is, I am trying not to qualify them, they are mostly underqualified although good looking. I'm trying to not text so much and trick them into revealing things that normally we'd find out over time. Who's got time? Not me.

I've been used and when I feel I'm being manipulated I cut the ties quick. They are shocked. Dude, you can have the one's I don't want because I chose the sweet ones to bed. I pull the trigger I just do it with finesse.

I just ended a friendship with a female who I've known for over a year. We dated, she lives in another city. She chose to be with a man who made promises and he was a fraud. After not talking to her for months, she is mad because I found a younger woman. When I think we can maybe be friends, she texts back on her terms. Meaning, I'm supposed to not like having a convo flow? I choose to not have women around in this case. She says she will call and doesn't. She is actually just talking with other guys to get out of her situation. She has issues. They all do. When someone says they like the warmth of hands or my smile, it means a lot to me. They don't mean that much but their words do.

Are any texts worth saving? I don't know how many people save meaningful texts. Most of it is jibberish. But we are made to feel like we're intruding on someone's schedule otherwise when we all have schedules.

Texting means establishing a conversation. Not idiot comments, trivia, jokes and garbage. It should mean we're going somewhere or who the hell needs it?

My reasoning for saving a female's texts is because invariably they become full of **** but bringing them to express themselves supports my belief that I am awesome and worthy of an educated, successful, pretty gal.

It's rational and sane to explore the personalities of a few women and decide who is the best candidate for me.

Some texts hurt to reread. Those also make me smile because I instantaneously recall how we felt towards each other. Even if circumstances didn't support a working relationship at that time.

Comment. Don't make a judgement.

Then I found a link on MSN for Maggie Gyllenhall's Agent Provocateur lingerie ad and since she reminds me of the girl I fell in love with last, I reread the texts she used to send me. I smiled in both cases.

I left a half glass of sweet tea in the fridge last night and when I opened it this morning, I smiled pretty big when I saw the tea.

Context? Sheesh.

It means you have to put your negotiators cap on and discover what mutual terms would amount to and unless there is an accord, you could tell him to toss off.

Women want men to take charge in most cases on the first date so you can't fault a guy for stating he intends to proceed with his agenda but maybe a bit more tact was in order. Simple concepts any guy can retrieve online these days.

Sofia Vergara

I was 16 banging my mom's best friend who was a hot banker and twice my age.

My first wife told me she dated older men before she met me. I was cool with it.

After my second divorce, I met a gorgeous 62 yo at my shop and dated her... but she wanted to get married and travel the world with me. On my dime.

Went back to Vegas and dated young twenties. I know why they want to get into bed with me. Because I'm bad...

I don't think you should put a cap on how old you'll date because the older person should be attractive based on their experiences or their chemistry with you is right.

On another dating site I get a lot of 21 - 18 year olds hit on me.

In Vegas and Los Angeles, it's fine.
