yo, what's with all the questions?



. . .

most mingle2 women are a turn off for me.



. . .

only important people.


. . .

i guess i'm a little different. i feel invisible most of the time, so if a girl says hi i'm going to acknowledge her. whether i find her attractive or not, i'm not going to just ignore her as if she's invisible to me.


. . .

dude, it's all in what you're comfortable with.

i sent a girl a message with just a "hi" on another site. she responded back with a "hey" and we've gone from there. sometimes hi is enough. sometime's it's not.
90% of the time i message people back. some of the women on here have expressed that they've had men get upset when they tell the men that they're not interested. so, instead of risking it they just ignore the guys that message them if they don't find the guy appealing. personally i find that to be rude. i've never once had a woman respond back when i say i'm not interested.
even if a woman were to respond back and be upset, that's her problem not mine. if she gets all bent out of shape over something like that i really don't want to know her.

i guess the question is, is she appealing enough that you'd like her to put forth a little effort? if so, you could send her a message saying that her first attempt at conversation was a little lacking and that you're willing to offer her a second chance at it.


. . .

your welcome.

i think that friends should look out for each other. i had a group of friends and all we did was tear each other down. it went on for years before i realized what we were doing. i broke ties with all of them because it became apparent to me that they weren't going to grow out of it.
i've learned to be supportive of my friends and to try to encourage them.

you though go the extra mile.

kudos to you.


. . .

dude, i need p.r. person like the one your friend has.


awesome. it's cool that you're looking out for your friend man.


. . .

that, excessive drinking, drug use, promiscuity, body fat


just for starters.



. . .

holy crap you're pretty!

that's my really bad way of flirting with you.
not really. sometimes you just gotta say the first thing that comes to mind.

just ignore me.

welcome and have fun.


. . .

what's the harm in saying hi back? if a person were to walk up to you on the street and just start firing questions at you without giving you a chance to acknowledge them first you'd find that a little weird, yes?


. . .

values and beliefs can be mutually exclusive. one doesn't need to be a christian to be moral or to treat people with respect. one doesn't need to believe in any deity to do those same things.

some people may feel the need to be with someone of the same faith. i personally think that it's because they think it will be easier on the relationship if they have that commonality. i believe that if two people respect each other as people, they have no reason for religion to be a source of friction between them. can't people agree to disagree? does it have to be "you believe what i believe" or "i believe what you believe"? can't two people believe different things and still be compatible?
could a democrat and a republican coexist as man and wife? or does one have to have the exact same beliefs as the other? yes, politics and religion are two different things, but they are both things that people (in general) are very passionate about and on which tend not to sway. they are also (in general terms) belief systems. not belief in any deity, but instead a belief in certain principles or ways to govern.



. . .

is it then less wrong for a person to say that they do believe in god?

if one doesn't believe in god should that person instead say "i'd rather not say what i believe" to appease the believers? is being an atheist any different from being jewish, muslim, hindu, or a believer in any other of the countless religions out there?
why should an atheist have to hide what they believe?


. . .

you don't have to hope for them to change. to me, by denying them you deny the possibility for them to change. as if they are incapable.

i guess if you're planning on sitting around reading the bible together, dating a non-christian might not work for you.


. . .

one of the best talks i had was with a christian member of my fraternity in college. he asked my my viewpoint and how i had come to it and left it at that. he just was curious and never once tried to push his faith on me.
awesome dude. i totally respect him.


. . .

i put it on my profile on any site i'm on. i'm not ashamed to say that i think a certain way even if it's not what a large portion of society says i should think. i've never had anyone openly disqualify me because i didn't believe the way they did, but someone did express to me that they wouldn't date someone who wasn't a christian because they didn't want to be in love with someone who (in theory) wasn't going to the same place as them when they die. they believed in heaven and hell and that only god's people would get to go to heaven and non-believers wouldn't, so there's no point in being with a non-believer.
the way i look at it, people believe that something is going to happen to them when they die, but they have no absolute proof. also, no one can predict the direction a person's life may take. a person who is not a believer today, may change their mind in the future. therefore, why not let that person into your life? would you not want to be there for them when they make that transition?
personally, the only thing that would seriously bother me is if i was dating someone who was constantly trying to convert me. if she had any respect for me as an individual, she'd respect my decision after i told her i wasn't interested. i'm not a person who tries to pull people away from their beliefs, and i don't want someone to try to pull me from mine.


. . .

anytime.



. . .

that's why i wear safety glasses.


. . .

as far as horror - i still can't sit through the shining start to finish.

sci/fi horror - event horizon was a messed up trip.


. . .

i bet you're right. i'm sure the price for a flight must have gone up in the past few years. i'd better send some more money right now. i hope she still looks as good as she did back then.


. . .

i somewhat agree, but nintendo had way more games. snes rocked. i miss that system. i had a genesis, the only game i liked was columns. the sega game gear was the shiz tho.
