I'm afraid that was back in the days of Polaroid cameras. No pics, just got to keep the dang T-shirt and bragging rights. The second time, I was hoisted up onto the stage while still seated in my chair... chair and all!

No luck on the job front, but I'm looking into some internet opps and consulting.

One day at a time.

And thank you for remembering and being concerned. Sending you a hug.

I love to slow dance. But I find that I can dance better when sitting in a chair... the minute I get up and try to coordinate the feet along with the rest of me... I look more like I've been hit with a taser or the nerve block hasn't worn off yet. And if I tried to shake my b'donk a donk like my nieces can, I think I'd break something... or at least dislocate it.



Maybe I should stick with the horizontal bop.

Funny story: While in the forums, I've noticed some really knockout gorgeous women popping up in the threads... and my first thought is, "Damn, with her in the dating pool, I'll never get a date!"

I'm not knocking myself by any means, but I know I'm no beauty queen. The years are starting to take their toll. But I bring a lot of great qualities to the table... it's just harder to get guys to stop and take notice of that fact when I don't have the prettiest first impression features that some women my age do.

Also, I just don't photograph well. People I have met face to face, from online, have told me that my pics make me look "older", or I'm much "prettier" or "hotter" in person. What's a lady to do?

Actually, now that you mention it... I have some women in my friends list, but I added them based on a kinship found in the forums. I don't know that I really checked their entire profiles... maybe a quick scan, because it was the personality I liked while posting in the threads.

I guess I don't like to browse the women's profiles cuz I might be intimidated by all the competition. LOL

There's no question. It's just open for comments if you have experienced the same, have thoughts about it, agree or disagree.

Thanks, that was so sweet, it almost choked me up. You are kind.

I am discovering that Mingle2 is more of a Socializing Site than a Dating Site. To me it has its (mostly) good and (some) bad points. I love M2 and I will keep my profile on here, but I'm starting to think that I may need to look elsewhere to find local people who are actually serious about meeting someone. I've found that the ones who do seem serious, are all many miles away.

I've taken the initiative to send emails to some men I've been interested in only to find out that they are in a relationship, but have kept their profile active to remain in the social loop with established friends. That's great for him/them.

But it gets to be frustrating when finding that I seem to be interested in the ones that are already "taken".

And while I think it's great that people show their creative side by posting cute pics that are not of themselves, I do wish I could see more pics of the profile subject. I have viewed some profiles that have multiple pics, but the few pics of "them" are hard to see or it's difficult to figure out which one in the pic is him/her.

While I highly value the social qualities of M2, I wish that more of the men on here were available - or at least their profiles said they are in a relationship, etc. if they aren't available.

Not an exclusive M2 issue: I also wish that more of the men out here were willing to take a chance and meet a gal for coffee or something before writing her off based on a one-page, self-written profile. (Not everyone has marketing skills). I for one, have an open mind and am willing to give a guy a shot unless something in their profile is an absolute turn-off.

Another pet peeve, while I'm on the subject, is that men will state that they are in a relationship, but still continue to browse profiles... hmmmm?

Another point I'd like to make is that I wrote my profile straight from the heart, I don't browse (and never have browsed) other women's profiles, so I have no idea what other women write in their profiles. And I find that a good majority of the men are too busy or lazy to write much in their profiles... so, what I've written in my profile may seem cliche' or "common", but it is true and from my heart.

I don't know anymore, maybe I'm just full of sh!t, or simply babbling. Is it just the nature of internet dating, or what? I'd like to know what others think about it.

Not sure I understand your tagline.... Yeet?

Never thought of it that way, but I thought anything below the belt was off limits in boxing.

Awww, don't leave... where's everyone going?

I'd like to see some wet tightie whiteys... or maybe even wet boxers. (Not the fighters, but the shorts).

And thin material... I've been in two of those contests! Wet T-shirts are COLD!!

Good point!!!

What are some things that you think are better when wet and why?


Example: Bathing Suit... because the colors are more vivid and other reasons.
