I agree with your thoughts about do not worry about it. I do not worry
about but feel I could be missing out on a few good ladies because they
will not give even a short bio. The pic thing is another matter. Some
libraries will not let you use their computers to load pictures to
upload on the net. And some people only use the library computers. So
these people would be left out if a picture was required. But hey I got
mine dropped off so maybe by Tues. I will have one posted if I make
another trip into town Mon.

any fun pic if it was allowed and changed to keep it interesting, but if
one has a pic use it. i like to look at the person ia m talking with.
this new video streaming is getting cheap so we will be able to put up
mini vid screens on these sites to catch ones attention and display our
personalities. exciting concept........

I am not sure I want to see people's "exciting personalities"... most
people are creepy and would probably jsut post a picture of their
weiner.

lmao that's funny as hell but you're probably right lol

Hey Geo,
How's it going, there, Big Boy?
We've spoken off line and have gotten further in our understanding of
one another, more than this forum depicts,
so this is a courtesy call, to set the record straight for all of you
note-takers and interested, avid forum - followers...
You see I was just making a point about how everyone has different
levels of activity in their lives.
Sorry, George, that you perceived it that way,
but we've cleared things up through emails since then.

I know people of all sizes, shape, colors, and levels of intelligence.
Some are awesome and others leave so much to be desired....What matters
most is the quality of the heart.

In case you are wondering, I happen to be a very active lady, quite
athletic, also very artistic in my work , in my speech, and in
everything I do. I am bright, intelligent, a strong willed lady...
confident, but not egotistical..
Many men find those traits to be extremely attractive and desirable, and
then there are those who are exceptionally intimidated by it....

I can understand why people would not want to be judged by there outside
appearance before someone getting to know their inside qualities! I
believe it is essential for someone to get to know you from the inside
first. :)

I've been busy with real life and haven't had a chance to check out the
messages on the forum.
But, I scanned some of the messages
from some with flimsy egos
who would try to put down good, smart women!

For one thing , if all of you real-women haters
and authorities of nonsense
would combine all of your knowledge, and intellect, removing all the
foul talk and thoughts,
you all might be able to fill one intelligent person's brain..

You who seek strength in numbers, but cannot stand strong all on your
own....

My only mistake was for casting my pearls of wisdom
over to swine....
Some of you guys sound like a bunch of gossipy, lifeless, braindead,
old men talking about everyone else,

all day in the barber shop, like in Andy Griffith's
old time show....Mayberry RFD. Hey Gomer and Goober and Floyd.

Too much time on your hands and too many foul things
running through your minds.
A sign of these times, too much TV and not nearly enough God.

I could tell you all day & night, about those who try to pawn
themselves off as something else.
I have the right to defend myself.
I don't follow the pack and never will.

I sent a nice note to "lion's brew," and asked why he didn't have an
actual photo, and why just a drawing.

He sent me a nasty message back,
asking me why I was writing to him,
trying to put me down and made some snide remarks about me being an old
lady.
I tell you, if you get to live as long as I have, Lion's Brew,
maybe you'd find some integrity and if you even begin to look as healthy
and as fine as I do,
at my age and for someone younger, you'd be very fortunate.

But, it's easy for you to talk all kinds of garbage about people,
while you are hiding behind your veil of deception.
And what does age have to do with someone just sending an innocent note
wondering why you don't have an actual photo?
What are you hiding from?
It's easy for you to spout all kinds of things when you hide behind
curtains of deception.

Who do you think you are the Wizard of Oz? Hardly!

I won't put up with insolence. Look it up in the dictionary.

Many of you men need to find some integrity
and you cannot handle a woman standing up for herself.

Like that poor excuse for a man who tried to pawn himself off as a
gentleman.......dewdrop!
Hey dewdrop, do the world a favor.....
DO Drop off the face of the earth.

He won't tell you that he was the first to send me a message, accusing
me of being a man hater without ever talking to me.
he sent me his email address telling me he's lookiong for love and to
write him.
And he went on and on about wanting me to post a photo,
that showed me up close.
I sent him a message asking him who was he talking about, regarding man
hating. I don't hate men, but there are some
I could certainly do without.
And if I have a mental and spiritual connection with someone, we can
meet in person.

I'm not here for the whole world to know me.

Anyway "dewdrop" dead... sent me a message telling me he wanted to
debate with me and he wanted to get a rise out of me.

That's why I said, Don't speak to women like that,
if you want to get a rise out of someone,
go play with sharks, box jellyfish,
you'll get a rise out of them.
He can dish it out, but he can't handle receiving it.
He then sent me some rude message accusing me of being a warden with
handcuffs.
Not a bad ideasome of you need to be handcuffed ,
but I don't want to waste anymore of my time...with such folly
.
With all his rudeness and false accusation,
and his flimsy ego spouting off,
I told him that he should get chastised and to go visit his local
dominatrix,
and she would put handcuffs on him and set him straight seriously, like
with a cat of nine tails...
How's that, lowlife?

I noticed him bragging about personal stuff about him
and his so called girlfriends.
Wow, I am so glad I do not know him, and if his stories are true, I feel
sorry for his ex-girlfriends. How rude he is.

Notice how they are ex's! If he was so awesome, he would have a current
one, not all the ex's.....As if I don't notice.
I'm widowed and my love died from a tragic work related death.
And my children's Dad, my husband died from diabetes.

I still have old boyfriends calling me wanting to take me out.

DewDrop dead has such a flimsy ego, that he feels the need to boast
about his sexual encounters,
because he feels rejected by women who stand up for righteousness and
who won't tolerate men who are disrespectful of good women.

If DEWDROP DEAD was so awesome and mature,
he wouldn't be on the line bragging about his fantasies and his wanna be
sexual prowess.
You sound like a teenager who first got laid.... dewdrop dead

It's just like what I said,
The bigger they are, the harder they fall,
like humpty dumpty.
Go sit on your park bench, Aqualung....
Like the song by Jethro Tull...

This isn't romper room.

It's just like the old saying,
sticks and stones may break my bones
but your words will never hurt me,

they just show your lack of integrity...

So, go brag your adolescent trash, spout some more stuff,
to your 20 year old listening crowd, who are just starting out. Maybe
you can have an audience there. They're still naive.

I have a real life to live, with real people in it,
and my self esteem is not dependent
on what the barbershop gossip thinks or doesn't think...Haha

you should have a pic, its nice to put a face to the name, i dont
believe a photo can make you findable. But if you dont no biggie. buts
if your on here looking for a date you should have one.

I wouldn't mind a picture of a weiner Steve. lol

thats great words of wisdom ......really it dont take a photo for me to
figure out you hate men ....and do you ever think how you come off with
the way you write you letters ...im sorry if you came off as a bitter
old woman buts thats how you wrote your letter to me ..maybe nobody
evertold you about first impressions who knows maybe you suffer from
penis envy or nepolion syndrome i dont know but maybe just maybe youll
think before you go shooting your mouth off about someone you never even
talked to before and dont know if you had a problem with people without
photos dont send those people emails you wanna put someone on blast in a
public forum thats one thing but to send someone you dont know an email
cause you dont have anyone else to bitch or you pissed everyone else
around you off that isnt some stranger problem so what i dont have a
photo whos chances is that hurting .........mine.........so why dont you
go sit on your thumb and rotate

lionsbrew DIDO FOR ME ALSO.

@KamaSutra: I posted a pic of me in a speedo here somewhere...

I agree with you. It is not the outside picture that should be judged
but the inner one. It is the personality that counts. If a person is
beautiful inside, that is what counts not how handsome the man looks
like from the outside. As they say, "don't judge the book by its cover."

I am WITH YOU Rapunzel and I am a MAN. Especially about the full length
picture part. I tell this to women and some vex with me?
