In the present situation with the economy, it's not surprising that extreme views concerning illegal immigration are on the forefront of the news...

I'm afraid to think of what it might take to unite us at this point in the game. Anything short of certain annihilation from a killer asteroid seems doubtful, and even then I kind of think there would be still be folks at each others throats right up to the last second.

Under the skin we're all the same so these are indeed scary times... I worry for my grandchildren...

Yeah... Chemistry first and then HOPEFULLY we'll be long term compatible as friends...

Speaking for myself and being honest, I'm not even sure that men and women can be friends in the deep platonic sense...



Mmmm I dont know Al ( morning Handsome) I think we can be the greatest freinds. Afterall, who knows you better and yet loves you anyway. If thats not friendship I dont know what is. I just think its something that grows over time. JMO

Morning all you marvelous minglers!! flowerforyou


I don't really know either (Back at'cha foxy). I'm just speaking from personal experience, so far...

I just feel that in friend mode with another dude, I feel okay about expressing my thoughts without conflicts arising from jealousy or betrayal, but expressing myself fully with a woman comes with risks... Especially if there's potential for romantic feelings in the future.

jmo as well...

Isn't also telling (seemingly) negative people to "stop being negative" is like telling a sick patient in the hospital of "stop being sick and start being healthy!", instead of just giving him right the medicine?


Actually, visualization is used all over the world concerning health. And life. IP is right, you need to start seeing life a little more better for yourself. Most people still don't believe that we create all our circumstances, and moods. Say you are in a cranky mood and you walk into a room, with the 3 stooges on. You sit down, grumbling, but if you stay long enough, you're laughing. The problem you were grumbling about, when you look back, has a complete different perspective and you might even solve it. Then you'll wonder why you haven't thought that before. We are and do so ourselves, conditioned. If you always have the same response, you'll always get what you think will happen. Don't you? We all do it, yet if you start changing your mode of thinking...things will start changing for you.
Instead of being upset or laughing at the woman who sent you that, try thinking 'in her mind, she thought she was being helpful'.
If you guys think or believe others are not as they should be, then that is saying reality is not the way it should be. Kind of silly.
Things have come a looonnngg way for both men and women. Until the last 40-50 years..men have had the final so so on everything, including attire for women, including wedding gowns and almost all rituals. Women have come in to themselves, the day will come when men will also; when they let go of fear.


Fear of what ?


Fear of women, fear of the changes they mentioned, fear of failure, fear of 'being changed by a woman'. Everything changes.
'If you do what you did, you'll get what you always got.'


Okay, thanks for elaborating on that. As a single man, I personally wouldn't say I'm fearful exactly. Like others I may be a little frustrated because I was raised old school yet I'm dealing with modern attitudes. A modern woman wants her independence. She can bring home her own bacon. She doesn't want to need me, she wants to want a man instead.
Being a bread winner isn't that big of a deal these days. In some ways, maybe I'm the metaphorical son who's paying the dues for his metaphorical father.
It's a crazy brave new world, I reckon. One where "need" is a negative connotation since it infers a lack of choice.
Women say "I don't need a man, but I want one". It seems a radical change to me and the pressure's on if I hope to compete for a woman's affections and fealty simply on the basis of my ability to effectively provide.
I get this...
I'm not studied on the matter, but I'm aware enough to recognize that things have indeed changed radically.
I also recognize and agree that everything changes. Beyond just being true to myself, I admit that I'm somewhat stumped in regard to how to go about being desirable for desire's sake. It seems that comparatively speaking, old dad had it pretty easy since all he needed was the ability to provide the means of survival for a woman to consider him a prospect. I get all this and like it or not, it's the world that I must live in.
I can only hope that for the sake of my own metaphorical son, women get this too and will teach their sons how to be this desirable man they crave. I sure don't know how to teach him.
"Work hard, provide well, be protective, and be a good leader" is what I was taught.
My own humble feeling is Lord help us all if everything changes back to a world where a "liberated" woman can't compete on the same level anymore...
Maybe after all, I AM fearful...

A little older, or a little younger is okay by me.

Too much either way and I can't see it really...

Only speaking for myself here...
