Thanks Julie and Jaan. I was the smallest and did not fit in anywhere. People made fun of me.

I just had a really bad time in high school. A struggle every day.

Malnutrition of a social life seems to be doing wonders for your sense of humour....you maybe travelling the road on your own but it looks like you'll be smiling all the way to the end! hats off you to friend.

Then you should be happy where you are.

Too much political talk.

To give a newbie perspective :

Someone has tried to catfish me twice and I've had a user try to sell me nudes.

Im not here for that. I can see why people don't hang around tbh.

Forums are ok like games, however, I am not into playing games for very long. It is great to be able to come and go on M2. Crowd is pretty much same for Years.

I can tell you the damage it does to a person. The father of my children called me at work one day and told me he just took a bottle of pills because I ruined his life. It wasn't the first he threatened suicide it was the 3rd. Each call was extremely traumatic. This time was different because he said he took pills. He didn't ask me to meet him like he usually did before and he refused to tell me where he was. He hung up where normally he would stay on the phone until i got to him and then he would abuse me. This time was different because it was the first time after I got away from him. I called the police and kept trying to call and text to get a response and luckily he did answer but didn't talk. The police were able to find him in time because he had in fact taken pills. He did not complete suicide but I'm still in therapy 6 years later. I changed my phone number and stopped communicating with him all together. At that point he still had a good relationship with his children (or at least had not abused them physically or verbally) and would talk to them on the phone. Last year I got a call from the school that they had to remove and restrain my oldest son because he had an outburst on the bus. Turns out his dad sent a suicide text around 2am and my son found it at 730am and even though once again it was just a threat my children are now dealing with that trauma in therapy. I changed all numbers and cut communication completely. I have total custody of my kids and if he was to want to change that he would have to do it by getting healthy, stable and get his rights legally. He's not put any effort into that.
He still posts about me on social media. Makes fake dating accounts. Last year he set me up by convincing a man to talk to me and agree to meet then he was going to ambush me. The man (another addict) actually told me and didn't go through with it. So that has completely changed how I meet people. He has damaged my car while I worked. He calls child protective services on me and the police several times. Calls my work...These things just continue but aren't as often. No court order or legal action stops it completely. His kids don't cry for him anymore. They don't ask about him but I know they still love him. We all still pray for him even though it's more likely his addiction is going to take him. Statisticly people who complete suicide have used or are under the influence when they've done it. Which was the case the time he took the pills. Often I think that I've signed his death certificate by cutting ties. I think maybe there is no one else that would call for help if he tried to hurt himself. Sometimes I have horrible thoughts about that situation considering what he continues to do. These thoughts alone are triggering even now. We love and care for him but Ultimately I have to choose the safety and health of myself and my kids. It's more likely his family will get news of his death but we still pray and are hopeful for a better outcome.

Massive protests across Europe by farmers. An all out assault on agriculture because it is a big problem contributing to climate change!!! Control over land and food supply. Livelihoods of farmers threatened.

Reduced food supply will contribute to worldwide starvation eventually but does that matter to the 1%?

This site is not honest with its subscribers. It claims to be a site for people over 50 but the filters only go to age 65 and once I joined, discovered that the site tells me there is NOONE over 65 in all of Mexico, no matter what city I put in the filter. So, basically Mingle 2 is a complete scam, Dont waste your money.

Speaking of Bob Marley do you know there’s a movie coming out about him this Valentine’s Day titled “One Love”? I’ve also seen where a movie is going to be made based on Michael Jackson titled “Michael” and so far one actor has been chosen to portray his father Joe.

I joined recently, upgraded to mingles2 (bad move) I'm just about hanging on here as I've a month or so membership left.
I will not be paying again!
its not impatience for me, its all the scammers asking for cash, they try various ways.

I'll come and visit you but send the taxi fare
my phones damaged please send money for a new phone or I won't be able to talk with you anymore.

etc

whats the point?

I believe the question was serious. then it degrades into jokes. i see that a lot as I look at forums. there is a time and place for jokes. maybe start a joke topic, but original poster was serious.

Many people have more than one venue to meet a date or spouse. I have met Inperson several men elsewhere.
