For me this statement is not accurate:


For me dating is serious. I don't date just for the hell of it. I'm looking for a partner!
I've got other things to do with my time than go dating to basically pass time.
So to me it sure as heck is a serious type of thing!
At first about finding a partner then it moves to the next phase; getting to know each other

A PO looking man who's looking for sex but says 'looking for friend' = lying.
Likely married as he didn't fill out that question.
I'd say a huge red flag.

I also wonder how you have time for an extra on the side with a fulltime job and 2 businesses? And a wife. And children at home...

That aside... even if I don't take the red flags into account it's not a good profile.

Last night I watched Hunter Killer.
Currently watching a lot of Gerard Butler movies :)

Heard from someone online that Germany is lowering tax on petrol so it is a bit cheaper.
Not sure what they're going to do over here.
As you say, greed as most of the price is tax. Same with tobacco.


Glad your social life is improving.
And another great thing you did: you got this thread working again!!
Makes me very happy :D

I just finished sowing my cornflower seeds! I prepped the bed for that last week. Now there on the ground, covered with a thin layer of soil.
Happy!

Feeling... hopeful that this thread is working again!!
Fingers crossed. Let's find out!

Thinking... another nice sunny day :)
Glad i cancelled 1 of the 2 appointments I had today. Means I can enjoy the afternoon.

Greenland: Migration - 2026
The sequel of "Greenland".
It's about what happens 5 years after the disaster when the family managed to find safety in the bunker in Greenland.

Not sure why you blow things out of proportion, rip it out of context and try to put words in my mouth that I haven't used. You came up with them, not me.

Bit weird to judge curiosity. I find it a very interesting thing and would really like to know if there indeed is hormonal imbalance at play, or not.
It could be crucial to find out for the existence of mankind to know to what extent pollution affects our bodies.
Contrary to what is yapped about in the news & media we could go extinct in a very short period of time due to drastic drop in sperm count. And this decrease continues per year and has actually drastically gotten worse. Used to be 1% per year, since 2000 it's at 2,6%.
Most of that is caused by pollution.
Men's testosterone levels are way too low. Even in young men hence the low sperm count.
Don't you think this will have an effect on men?
It means they become more feminine. That could cause some to have different sexual appetites too.

If it continues the way it is, natural conception will be impossible by the year 2060. And at some point I suppose we'll run out of eggs and sperm. Then what?
So I'd say it really kinda important to find out more.
The way I see it the whole lbqt whatever people are new and not normal. As in, outside of the norm. Anatomically speaking their bodies do not function the way a resp. male or female body should work.
Now considering what I said above, I think it's very interesting and kinda important to find out if this is related to how badly the environment is FU, or not.
Has nothing whatsoever to do with dissecting and animals and judgement. There's no judgement anywhere, not from me. It's simply interesting and might be something we must know concerning our own continued existence as a species.

As for gay men... also a very interesting thing. It has been suggested by a dr. that in their case there's a hormonal imbalance causing it.
In many cases homosexuality among men occurred/occurs in single-sex environments like prisons, military camps during war etc.
I guesstimate among women in nunneries it wasn't much different. Single-sex environment kinda don't work.
In any case, research shifted focus from investigating current hormone levels to prenatal factors. There's reason to believe that prenatal atypical hormone exposure is the cause.
So even science is still busy with the subject.

Now homosexuality is interesting as it happens in the animal world too. But the only animal that is strictly homosexual in orientation is the domesticated sheep.
And then there's humans who do the same.
But... we are not animals!
Our brains are way more sophisticated than that any animal on the planet. So you cannot compare us to animals.

And sure, I wish them all the happiness in the world.
But it affects the rest of us too. Things having to become genderless and not being allowed to point out gender differences and so on and so forth. Utterly ridiculous and very unhealthy for children to be raised with such beliefs. Beliefs like that will affect normal healthy development & behaviour, hormone production, neurotransmitters in the brain etc. etc.
It's quite a dangerous development, could very well be the downfall of mankind. Which for some reason seems to be the goal of the ones who pull the strings in this world.

I believe that specific alphabet is longer, but alas.

What I think... I'd like to see a group of them in research, have their hormone levels checked. And if out of whack restore them to normal, and see how they feel then.

Considering the enormous amount of hormone disruptive stuff in our environment (xenoestrogens) chances are these are the cause of it occurring.

If such research would come up with no difference whatsoever... then we got something interesting to discuss.

Over here CAD 3,65 - CAD 4,04 per litre, depending on location of petrol station.
On the motorway it'll be CAD 4,04 which is E2,50.
It's insane!

Thank you, Slim!


OT --- Feeling nervous... I don't want to go to the dentist dammit!

A couple of Jason Statham movies, like The Beekeeper.

Then felt like watching "Speed", which made me wanna watch "Miss Congeniality".

That last one was great as I felt like something lighthearted and having a good laugh :)

I do think it can be difficult for most although much depends on how you communicate with people.
Another thing that affects success, certainly online, are the way you look and the nickname you choose.
In your case the name is kinda flat. And it doesn't reveal whether you are male or female which also doesn't help.
Your photo isn't appealing due to your facial decorations. That is your choice, not judging that, but it will seriously affect how people react towards and feel about you.
You do not have to be good-looking/pretty in order to get attention, that's not what I mean, but when your looks are outside of normal they can be considered off-putting.
I felt that way about your photo and I hadn't even seen the large version. I daren't check it out as the thumbnail looks so scary.
I thought you had a skin disease. Or a photo that AI had done something odd with.
I'm not telling you that to offend or judge you. Just telling what people may think/feel when they see your photo.
It is your choice and with that totally okay. But you also have to accept the consequences of your choice, which is how other people will regard you, certainly in the dating arena.

Glorious weather again! Which is great after a couple of cloudy days with stormy wind.

"Just booksmart" is actually what you get with psychologists. Book smart and a very mental approach.
Psychologist have learnt schemes and methods to follow, which they do. It's going from A to B to C and once you get to K the problem should be sorted. As that's what the books say.
It may give some insight but rarely solves the real problem. That which is underneath. It is superficial problem fixing.
It truly is overrated.
I am interested in psychology myself, but that is for myself, not to work with on clients.
I have yet to come across a good psychologist who actually truly sorts people's problems.

Coaching is different as it is custom made, way more intuitive and not coming from ratio and logic, nor following schemes & schedules.
A good coach will go to the core of the problem and help solve it. For good.
He/she will have a very good understanding of psychology, how people work, tuning into what the client needs which will be different with each one.
And in my experience with working with clients it is not like: press button A, then B, then C and your problem is solved. It's about truly connecting with the client.

Must say I find it odd that you judge the one with actual client experience and excellent results and with that praise the one who brags about having a piece of paper, yet then you say "just book smart" doesn't work.
Personally I'd rather seek the help of the one with excellent results & reviews, not the one who brags about a piece of paper.

Funny enough I was actually doing the coach study but I only did the first year. I didn't need it. I'm naturally good at it.
And I figured, if my clients need a coach with a piece of paper -which is totally meaningless as it says nothing of the person's qualities- they're not for me.
I want to work with clients who recognise the quality and go "I want that!"
And those were the clients I got :)
At some point I had a qualified life-coach in one of my courses. Her review started with: "This is the best course I've ever done in my life!"
Another client started her review with: "This is an absolutely life-altering course!"
That to me is worth 100x more than a piece of paper. It's actual proof that what you offer and do has high quality :) No piece of paper or education can teach you that. You either got it or you don't.

Feeling happy that I wrote my weekly blog again :)
I blog on a dating site and always post on Thursday. There are a few more that blog, 8 total, and most chose their regular day of posting.
I never write a number in advance to have some 'stock' so every Thursday I have to come up with something.
And it always feels good when I succeed!

Did a wee bit too much in the garden yesterday, dangit. My back is complaining.
I was fine but did a few not so smart back-things at the end of the day.
Hoping it'll sort itself out otherwise I have to go to the physio again.

26 degrees is more than enough for me! Any hotter is too much.

OT -- Thinking... where is this parcel deliverer?
I want to be able to go outdoors with this gorgeous weather but I can't, grmble...
