ah, we do it too mike. threads abound with men blaming women for their lack of success in finding a relationship that works. we all get hung up on such things as our misfortunes being the cause of our plight in life. instead of changing things that we have control over, we often attempt to "wish" a change of things we cannot control like men/women with whom we are having little success. that's my point here. if you're having trouble in the dating game, look within. you can only change your behavior or demeanor. you cannot change the behavior of others.

i just have to wonder why people describe themselves as widowed or divorced. why not just say that you're single? does your past really matter? sure, what happened to your spouse will eventually come up but by then a relationship might already have happened. just a short conversation before such details are mentioned can often make a positive impression. but making a big deal of being a widow or a divorcee is just a form of baggage when it affects your view of the oposite sex and anybody with any intelligence at all will pick up on that baggage. we all say that we carry no baggage but in fact we all do whether it be from our previous relationship or, as is the case here, we carry it from a few unfortunate dates or online chats. as you suggest, generalizing about men/women is the very definition of baggage and nobody is interested in somebody with baggage.

I live in a small town and a young friend of mine, more like a daughter, said she wanted me to get out and she would take me to a couple of bars last weekend. Well, I said OK and, so, off we went. I felt as though I was in a foreign country when we walked into that first saloon. We visited only two that night, but both were the same, either very young or just plain scrungy ... So - we went to an italian joint and ate and I felt better and played on the game site here until 4AM. Had fun then..

well then just surrender to one of us bad boys. you know you want to don'tcha?

Those are all the rough parts we encounter before we get to the cream fillings per say.

Yes, actually

I'M JUST ME.I DON'T PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE,[maybe that is the reason,I'm still alone] Some guys say they want the real thing but to find out they don't. They want a beauty queen or close to it. I don't think they would know what to do with a real lady or Ladies,Do you know what to do with a real man?? I'm not talking about sex,I'm talking about the person..

that is interesting hot pepper jams. do stores currently sell it?

I won't be the one paying.
Trying to figure out YOUR terms.

Define "short term" & "long-term"??

Parking?? Doubt if I will be setting still.

Hi everyone!

Just an update...I'm in Beeville. And it's raining!!
All summer, I've griped about it not raining....and now I can't unload my stuff!!

Also, where I'm staying until it stops raining, doesn't have the internet, and my air card only works outside here! So I'll be offline for a couple of days, unless I come sit in my truck!!

But, I'm here and hopefully will be back to normal in a day or two.

Cya when I can!

I can't be bought, but MIGHT be RENT-able.

OK - I am back - where are they?

I am no arm candy but I am make a good antiacid
I think bnoth sexes have their dating problems,has nothing to do with anything else except meeting the wrong people!

Your point is well taken. There aren't even many jerks left. That's why at the end of the month Mingle should have it's First Annual Jerk-Off to divey them up amongst us ol' gals.

hello everyone
