To make the statement, "I am honest" or "I'm an honest person" or "I never lie" or "I always tell the truth" is rediculous!

If you are honest and state those things...you tell the truth. But if you are NOT honest, you will state those things as well...you lie!

You have to remember that each person you meet on this site is placing an advertisement by way of a profile. You aren't really meeting "them", you're meeting their Public Relations Representative!

Unlike car dealers, loan companies, attorneys, etc., their advertisements (profiles) are not required to place small print, known as a disclaimer, at the bottom of the page.

Like the OP, I have never understood what people have to gain by lying about who they are, what they look like (posting outdated pictures or even pictures of someone else), what they do for a living, or how they feel about things. Once they meet someone, they can't possibly keep up the front for any real period of time. The truth always surfaces.

Unfortunately, you just have to learn that, while reading profiles, take everything...the picture...the statements...etc. with a grain of salt. Don't assume you are seeing a true picture.

I was one year older than my last girlfriend's mother! I think that there are pluses and minuses to age gap dating. I've never understood why a woman in her 20's or 30's would be interested in a guy in his 50's or 60's; however, who am I to argue?

I must admit, more than once, while out on a date and a song comes on the radio, I'll say, "wow! remember that one?", only to receive a "no" answer...then I realize she probably wasn't even born when it was released!

The sky is falling....the sky is falling!

Sound familiar?

Actually, a woman told me that! LOL!

Thanks, soufiehere! I didn't think of that. I've just been skipping over them if it said over a month since last contact. I'll go back now and shoot out a shout to those who catch my eye and maybe, just maybe, they'll get the email message and respond.

Thanks again!

I hope I am posting this in the correct forum...I didn't think it was appropriate in any of the others.

I wish the mingle2 would add an option to their advanced search that would allow you to choose the current status of those who come up in the search process. I have spend much time in viewing profiles that come up in my search results that state, "last seen over one month ago!" It would be nice if you could specify to view those who have recently visited the site and check their accounts. Trying to meet someone who seems to not visit the site seems a little futile!

I'm brand new to this site, so if there is already a way in which to narrow down searches to those who are currently active on the site, please tell me...I'd really, really appreciate it.

Thanks. GREAT SITE!

Yep...no doubt about it...I can feel the love there!

I've been on this path for so long that I now feel I have just been walking in circles!

If you think "it's all about impressing" members of the opposite sex, then you're probably right. It's about so much more. Such as meeting other people from all over the world. Participating in interesting discussions with other members. Building friendships that would not normally be possible if not for today's technology...and so much more! I'm brand new here and, already, I see the potential. You should stick around for a little while and maybe you'll discover the potential as well.

I say that every woman, at one time or another, has a fantasy of having a threesome with another woman.

To my fellow men...before you get all excited at that prospect, you should be aware that the threesome fantasy rarely involves you getting playtime with the second hottie, as most girlfriends do not want to see their man touch another woman. You’re meant to play voyeur until your woman is ready for something more hardcore. This allows her to experience the best of both worlds without having to worry about things like jealousy or sharing.

That, of course, is just my guess. Are you going to let us know what every girls fantasy is, Cocoevaflawlesscandy?

How about what NOT to do!

Don't make a quick judgement about your feelings towards her. As long as she's not a total loser or nutcase, take her out one or two times before you decide to write her off.

Be yourself. If you like to drink regularly, fess up. If you don't like to do some of the things she states that she likes to do, don't lie and tell her that you like to do those things as well. Sooner or later, the truth will surface...it's better to come clean now than have to explain it later.

Don't leave her hanging. If you want to see her again, tell her so. If it's comfortable for the two of you, you can kiss her goodnight; however, don't present yourself as desperate for a second date. If you really would rather not go out with her again, let her know...gently.

Don't belch, fart, pick your nose, or do some of the other gross things you might tend to do when you are alone!

Don't get drunk or so tipsy that you can't talk coherently or stand!

Don't eat garlic! It has a definite negative effect on your plans for getting close later on during the date.

Don't talk about your ex-girlfriends. It will make it appear as though you still have baggage and, trust me, your date is really not interested in the women you have dated in the past.

Moan and groan about things, your life, your job, etc. The date should be fun, not one filled with negative thoughts and conversation.

There are quite a few other things that you should avoid doing or saying on that first date...but...common sense should be your guide.

There are so many places to go and things to see in Central Florida. Face it, we're the "Vacation Capital of the World!" Although there are theme parks, water parks, the beaches, racing, sports and a multitude of other things to see and do, all of them are much, much more fun when you can do them with someone by your side, rather than seeing and doing the things by all by yourself.

Check out my profile and, if I sound like someone with whom you might like to have some Central Florida fun, give me a shout, or a nudge, or whatever you need to do to let me know you're ready for fun. If nothing else, at least it will get you out of that house or apartment for a while!

My neighbor told me, "you can meet a lot of interesting women on Internet dating sites. I've been having a lot of fun since signing up on a couple!"

"Not me" I said. "Nope, I'm not interested."

My brother recently married a woman that he met through an Internet dating site.

"Not me" I said. "Nope, I'm not interested."

Having been single for a couple of decades and, for the past ten years or so, not too interested in dating (due to my last relationship and the bitter taste it left in my mouth), I haven't gone out and attempted to meet anyone. In other words...it's been a little boring!

Now, here I am! I've joined an Internet introduction site. Oh well, it's not the first thing I've ever done that I swore I wouldn't do!

Hopefully, this decision will lead to a little more fun in my life and a great opportunity to meet some really nice women.

Time will tell, I guess.

Anyway...Hi to everyone from the House of the Mouse (Orlando, FL). I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!
