I was going to post this in the Disclaimer Thread but as I got going it started to go off topic... and this as all been said before I know. uh... this has turned into a RANT

Some of the contradictory statements in profiles that bother me...

"I am down to Earth" Yet the profile has a picture of her tramp stamp and clearly visible T-Bar above her hiphuggers. -- I have been around scooter trash all my adult life, the tramp stamp is not something you want unless you are a saddle tramp... Besides, if you were down to Earth you would not be showing that off till you got to know someone.

"I am an Independent Woman" Yet forty-five minutes into an IM and she is telling me she does not know how she is going to make it with her Ex's support payments or lack-there-of. -- I am serious about not wanting to rescue someone, there is a big difference in sharing my life and "taking care of you".

"My children are my life" Yup then why did you just tell me that you live in the Metro area and your kids live with your mother in the 'burbs? -- Where do the coins go for this slot machine? I would love to have another child, your looks and apathy make for great mommy material.

a note to the "nice guys"

For the record I consider myself an ALPHA male... I find it offensive when you guys "whine" about how you have been overlooked by the opposite sex or been done so wrong; and then have the gall to cry about how an ALPHA made your life so hard...

GET OVER YOURSELF

Sure there are guys out in the world who use women, pretty much break them down till they are jaded and oft times cruel. You are going to strike out in dating, you need overcome it and play the cards you are dealt, do not cry about it and post "Poor me". Frankly it is no wonder your striking out with a defeatist attitude like that.

I do not know... some peoples kids, eesh!

Geez, it's all about you

I used to think it was all about me till I found out I was an omega male.

Whoa,it is almost enough,to make me wish it was 5oclock,somewhere.

Feel better now, I hope????

I know you disclaimered.... but as a female I feel this overwhelming feeling to respond!



'down to earth', 'laid back' and etc are those general vague terms that no one knows exactly what they mean.

And to defend 'tramp stamps' I have a sun on my very low back but doesn't not qualify me automatically to be a 'slut' or 'ho' nor does it determine my morality.



I don't get support from my son's father. I pay my bills and struggle everyday. But I don't determine that as me being independent. I have an independent personality because I don't need a partner to determine my self-worth. I don't want someone to 'take care of me' even once I am married. I consider marriage and relationships an equal partnership.



Not everyone that says their children are their lives are deadbeat parent who pawns their child/ren to a family member. Your statement above is showing that the women is a liar.

There are some women who feel that their children should be their whole life.

I, however, define my life by more than just being a mom, but is a big part of who I am.


Okay.... urge to comment is done!

At times it can be yes... LOL

I do yes... thanks

The one that gets me is..." Life is short...blah, blah, blah". It is not. Life may end at any moment, at any age, but, when ever that is, you will never do anything longer.

Why I posted... attention and debate.



Admittedly, I was generalizing on that statement; However, At least you know what I meant.


I have seen your posts and perv'd your profile in the past, I see no reason why you would want/need to defend yourself here.



That is cool... but this was not the first time I have heard this statement come from a potential date. (and I only heard it once from this site)
Still, it is funny and sad at the same time.



I could add more ya know... it is a LONG list.

oooooo lordy, lordy mmmmmmmmmmm

You'd make a wonderful wife, Phifer...

i know i'm so wasted in scotland!

I am an Alpo male myself!

Opps I meant Alpha

I am flattered.

Not to come off as a tease, but my Nana is Welsh and I have been considering taking a trip across the pond to visit relatives.

Would not mind a tour guide one day, but My door swings one way though... love the Ladies and their shapes. Cheers to ya.

oh lordy they all say that til i've shown them a good time

Why post for attention, why not post because you have something of value or worth debating about?



I was not commenting to defend myself, but to explain my concept of indepdendent.



Here what, that their children are their whole lives.

If you were to take that statement literally, to me that's kinda pathetic. If your whole life is wrapped up into your children, then you don't have a life or identity of your own.

I know that some women use that phrase to stress how important their children are to them. However, if the guy who is interested in them is a good guy then he will already know that.
