Why are you here? ~ Honestly

Most are not here honestly for dating obviously so why are you here? Most haven't even bothered to fill out their profile or put up even 1 photo. So are you really here because you have nothing better to do than post a pretend life? Are you here because it's a way to communicate with others while you pretend to want to date? I live out in Death Valley National Park because of its beauty, I didn't think, at the time, about there not being any men my age when I chose to live here. So internet dating seemed like a godsend to me. But over the last decade most all I have found are phonies, people acting online one way but totally different in real life, & not in a good way. They lied about the weight, height, age, job, living arrangements. I just don't understand about all the lying. To me it seems that you'd want the person your meeting to be pleasantly surprised & not looking for a escape route. That is for the few who do actually go out. I know most don't because they will be seen for the liar they are & not for who they pretended online to be. I don't understand why anyone would want to spend their time all day pretending to be someone they're not unless their life is that meaningless because there is so much to do in real life. It sucks for the serious people, most everyone I know give up on it after finding out 90% are just bored people living on the internet. Even the paid sites, those who have the money join pay sites too pretending. I know as I'm on 3 of them too. And the profiles that say "I'm just here for the forums", lol, if I had a good man I sure as heck wouldn't be living on the net. Even if you don't reply to this post ask yourself... why am I here? |

IMPROPER DRESS

IMPROPER DRESS – I've been thinking about the subject, I had someone tell me it was one of their pet peeves, I'm interested in your opinion, what you consider to be improper dress. It appears these days anything goes with young and old. Strict dress code was something I grew up with but I am much more relaxed these days but still dress accordingly, depending on the situation, and it also depends on who I'm with. In my day, in public when I was growing up guys wore slacks, shirt, a belt and dress shoes, gals wore a dress, or skirt and blouse, no one wore sneakers. No one would dream of wearing pj's to the store, or their pants below their crack line. Back in your day things were a lot different. Blacks couldn't even drink from the same water fountain. I'm glad things have changed & believe everyone has the right to wear what is comfortable to them. If you don't like it you don't have to look. |

I wish that there were sticky threads for:
* Fat or thin? (average is never mentioned for some reason) Why can't they see pass my fat to my gorgeous mind? * Hey I'm a nice guy/girl why doesn't anyone want me? * Does age matter? * Can I date outside my race? * Why don't women like short men? * Why don't men/women like fat men/women? * Why don't people answer my messages? * Why do ALL men? * Why do ALL women? * Why did that guy/gal look at my profile but did not message me? * Why don't people put up a photo in their profile? I wish it was mandatory * Iz a dum az an ned atenton soz u lok st chat wiz me? * Why do all men/women keep breaking my heart even though I keep giving them chances? Ect... Then when we came to read the board it wouldn't be filled with the very same questions over and over. I don't understand why some don't look on the first 3 pages to see if their question has already been asked Or if they are putting their question in the correct area Half of the front page is MOVED: threads. I'm sure it keeps the mod/s busy. But what ever, it is what it is, I'm not chained here and it pretty much feels like a board that 20 or so just post to be posting. Maybe someday a dating site will really be for those who really want to date and not home to those who have nothing better to do but post gibberish and will never really date, meet people. Guess I should have found me a man before moving out to DVNP but I honestly thought the internet would be a better way to meet someone than going bar hopping since you can get to know a person better by messaging, phoning, than meeting. We can pretend to be who ever we want to be on the net... we live in mansions when we live in subsidized housing, moms basement we're a few extra pounds when it's actually 70 we can put up fake photos or photos 10 to 20 years old we are athletic when we are really disabled we love sky diving, skiing, mountain climbing when we've never done it we love long walks on the beach but live in the desert we make $1,000,000 dollars but really live on disability, welfare, unemployment, or work at Wal-Mart. The list goes on and on but when we take a break from posting our fake fantasy life we are left with our real one. If everyone was honest about being disabled, unemployed, on welfare or working at a fast food joint they wouldn't have to be afraid to meet and have their date find out that all their words were just their fantasy. It's not a sin to be disabled, stuff happens. Some might need welfare for awhile because of circumstances beyond their control. Many are unemployed in this economy but hopefully they're looking (we desperately need a few handymen out here). And having a job at McDonald's is better than not having a job at all. I've been straight up in my profile and posting, I was hoping to find/meet the same on here. I have on other sites. Met and made friends, went to ghost towns, hiking, explored DVNP and all it has to offer, ect... had a lot of fun but no love chemistry. But again, it is what it is and I'm not chained up to it. Sly eta; since I don't make thousands of nonsense or I'm bored posts I'm think it's fair to post a long sincere honest one... in the real World. Than again most here won't read this since its over two sentences. |

I think a lot of people are just bored and post anything that comes to their mind not caring enough to what they have type typed out. Actually a great insight on how some live their real life.
This is reminding me of Wal-Mart, but at least there they can't use 10+ year old photos and they actually do leave their apartment/basement. Sly |

IMPROPER DRESS

There have always been different levels of attire. A construction worker has always worn different clothes than a banker or a solder. This is because clothes do more than cover our nakedness. They also serve functions and each style can look good in it's own way if the fit is right. In my job (truck driver) I have to feel comfortable sitting for many hours a day as well as be able to climb up into the cab of my truck. So, I buy my clothes with that in mind. I wouldn't be comfortable in a three piece suit and tie. So, I wear denim or khaki pants with cotton T-shirts and have a leather jacket near by for cold and rainy days. My shoes must be easy to clean, give me a sure footing on greasy surfaces and again be comfortable while I'm driving. A soft moccasin does the trick most of the time. But I do keep a pair of boot handy just in case. I keep my colors simple so everything I wear matches with everything else. So, I think it's not so much about what a person wears, but about how they wear it that makes it look good or bad. Excellent answer!!! I live out in the middle of the desert so I go naked if I want. For some reason, suits have always given me the chilly willies. Maybe it's because in my World they are only worn for funerals, weddings, court. Sly |

Date failed to mention he still lives at home with mum & dad... 30+ 'really' In this economy I honestly don't see that as a problem. I have a friend that would have to move in with me if it were not for her Son living with her to help out. What gets me is that you didn't out where, who he was living with before you dated him. He could have been living with his wife. Sly |

Hi Sly.. don't forget the "I'm a nice guy.....really" threads, and "does age matter"? You got that wrong, it's "do age does matter"? Or something as pathetic. Yes, there are never enough I'm a nice guy, girl threads or why can't they see pass my obesity to my inner beauty Sly |

What would you choose?
My next thread will be: Why are some men so sensitive and cry so easily? Then: Obese or healthy? Last, but not least: Do you think about dying 24/7 or do you live your life normally? I'll keep reading the forum and come up with more intelligent thoughts to ponder. Sly |

Why can't you can be both?
Oh, you can but again you only gave two answers to choose from. Aren't you the same one that started the thread fat or skinny? Giving no choice for healthy/average. Eta: no you didn't start that thread, you've started so many it's an easy mistake. Sly |

loved, cared for, and forgiven more easily than so called normal people? That is something I too also keep wondering about. They get applauded for being straight a week, month, year, ect... But we don't get applauded for NEVER falling into that way of life... Or worse yet we don't get applauded for trying to help those who have. Sly |

Why when people sign up for a dating site or a social networking site they don't upload a photo of themselves? lexxielicks, I am wondering about the photo in your own profile. Your profile says that your ethnicity is "White / Caucasian", but the photo in your profile shows a person who appears to me to be either Hispanic, Native American or racially mixed - something other than Caucasian. If I am seeing right, then can you explain your appearance in your own profile photo? I apologize for asking in public, but your mail filter will not permit me to ask in private due to my age. Thanks for asking politely. I am mixed with Italian,white,and black. Well, you are pretty no matter what your racial background is. So why did you put down that you are Caucasian? Sly |

I can't even make sense of this question "do age does matter"! Sly It's probably a "young peoples" thing. j.k. Or a dumb peoples thing. Maybe I'm just lucky because young, middle age, or old, I don't know people who talk so stupid let alone would ever post on the world wide internet showing everyone how stupid they are. Even if English is not their first language one can take the time to search for the correct way to properly string a four word question. Sly |

Do you have a plan?

Living in the moment or from paycheck to paycheck like most people do, is normal. But how long do you have to live? What if someone (your doctor) told you that you had only six month to live? How would you live the next six months? Or what if you just knew for sure when you were going to die? How would you plan your life? We don't really think much about death as we live our lives from day to day. But we all know that we are all going to die, we just don't know when. What if we could know? Or what if we could decide? How long do you want to live and what are your plans for the rest of your life or do you think about it? Do you have a plan? Living in the moment and pay check to pay check can and usually do mean the same thing... Can you please explain what you think the difference is? Most of us were not born rich. I have always thought a lot about death being so close to it so many times. I honestly don't know very many real life people who don't so maybe you can decipher that question as well? My life... I have lived pretty much to the fullest. Making sure my Son and Brother (8 years younger then me who I got custody of getting him out of hell house) were my greatest priorities. That they were fed healthy and educated well. After accomplishing what to me was my greatest job ever without being on welfare or getting child support I did for myself. At age 42 I retired to a most amazing area, the foothills of the Funeral Mountains in DVNP (Death Valley National Park) having my doublewide and property paid off. Also, the 3 power poles it took to get power to my property, the biggest deepest well in this area, most haven't a clue what these things cost but then they don't need to. I live on a street, that's actually a circle, that bears my surname. When I die what I have passes to my Grandchildren. I've had to of had a plan to achieve what I have done. And I've lived life to the fullest doing it, flushed or poor. So what have you done? You asked the question but didn't answer it. Sly |

Never had that problem Most men I've known haven't either. I just replied to another thread about some girls wanting to see men cry over them. Girls, maybe the guys just don't have feelings for you if their not showing them to you. It's not nice to put all guys n the same category of those that you've known. Real men show their feelings if it's something they are passionate about. It's human reflex/nature. Sly |
