What is the silliest question on earth?
The most common silly question is:
"Do you work here?" - Is that a trick question? I'm wearing a name tag, shelving books, and I am on the clock. Or maybe, they just have a genuine curiosity about my job.
"Are you open?" - We must be, you are inside the store asking me the question.
"Do you have any in the back?" - Sure, we love to hide the most popular merchandise in back. Why sell it? We could send it back to the manufacturer and get exactly what we paid for it. "Can you call your competitor for me?" - NO, NO and NO! We are selling our merchandise, not theirs.
"Where is the men's tie section?" - We don't sell ties, this is a bookstore. "What store is this?"
You get the picture; surely you have some funny stories to tell. Make me and the other folks laugh. Leave a comment about your funniest retail experience.

iaminperth - completely agree - trust is the basic foundation of any sort of friendship/relationship, so in lying they've sunk the black before they even begin! A bit sad really... also pathetic all those old guys "who look and feel so much younger" making idiots of themselves. Double YUK!!

IAMINPERTH: Bravo! I agree with you completely, 3 posts running.
1) Better to tell the exact truth about their age, so when you set your search parameters, you miss them completely, than to lie about it, and then own up immediately in their first email to you.
Let alone explaining that it was a marketing ploy so you'd even look at them through your green-tinted ageist filter-lenses, but abandoned by them, the moment after it had worked and led you to make contact.
Then throw themselves on on your mercy, and ask you to judge them on the rest of their profile, and preferably on the basis of a personal grilling, please.
2) Once you have caught someone out in their first porkie, you will never ever again trust a single thing they say.
3) Socially inept males who rely on the relaxant qualities of intoxicants or other administered drugs to cause females to be more comfortable about a quick pash at her front door are drug pushers, and everyone on a wholesome, contention-avoiding site like this is bound to agree with your values.

Now I’ve got you worried. What was the order of your questions again?
Posted by: neuroticfish at March 12, 2008 8:05 PM
Heres another silly question.
And why would any man be satisfied having sex with a woman who only wants him when she's half shot.?
Posted by: oohlala1 at March 12, 2008 8:04 PM
WoodnWine
To answer your questions:
1. Can I keep a secret? No. But you have to realise that none of the girls on here have ever told me anything in confidence. I don’t know whether it is my early training as a confessor that does it, or my later experiences in the Spanish Inquisition, but they seem to cough up every little detail. I have trouble literally keeping up with the huge gory details of their confessions. One young thing used to delight in recounting in glorious detail her adventures, including her crowning glory when she lapsed into unconsciousness through sheer excitement, the poor hapless boyfriend was desperately trying to resuscitate her, call Triple 000, and throw some clothes on her at the same time before the Ambulance arrived. She woke next morning in hospital with a male shirt and jocks on. Another has told me endlessly her bedroom adventures, who she has seduced, how good they were in bed (eg “couldn’t get it up,” “didn’t satisfy her one ounce,” “grunted loudly all the way through it” and “gave up in the end”) and who she intends to seduce in future. Becky Cole’s Hit Song “Way Too Much Information” has nothing on this femme fatale. So that when someone, who shall remain nameless, suddenly accuses me recently of blabbing all, take it with a grain of salt. Her disclosures that she was bedding someone 15 years her junior were NOT made in confidence. They were a boast. Oh yee of little or short term memory. In an earlier blog, there was an admission of an affair with a younger man.
2. Do I love you? Now let me see. Women do not hesitate to send me their naked photos. Maybe you should do the same, so I can determine whether I could fall in love with you. Rear view only please. Now I have you worried. Mind you, it used to get hot and steamy in the referees’ room after a torrid game, but maybe that was because the abuse was still ringing in our ears. And did I tell you of one referee, when put out to pasture, was so fit that he entered the industry of helping the poor old girls in 3 Nursing Homes out, until a daughter complained and a policewoman set him up and prosecuted, thereby ending another illustrious career.
3. Can I trust you? You’re joking of course. All’s fair in love and war. Sorry mate.

Hi iaminperth! Personally I know four men around here who are between 5 and 7 years older than their rsvp profiles. Goodness knows how many others there are. Lots it seems? It's a behaviour that is not gender specific, lying about one's age! I understand why people do it, but what do they do if and when they meet someone they really click with? First off tell their newly beloved they've lied about their age? If it happened to me, my first reaction would be, what else have you lied about ... Anyway, I just don't want to have to go there, even if I get less contacts by putting my real age.

Will you still respect me?
Posted by: woodnwine at March 12, 2008 7:36 PM
Here's the silliest question on earth. When are any of you going to say something interesting on these blogs?
I've been reading for weeks now since I joined and they have got worse and worse each week. they are really getting boring to even bother to read now. Its like a boring family dinner. sameold same old every night.How was your day bla bla bla? Who cares?
Posted by: oohlala1 at March 12, 2008 7:28 PM
I'm with you Perth!!
Not very respectful is it? Obviously back in their younger days some of these guys were the same type of sleazes we tried to avoid in our youth!!
I suppose being drunk meant the young women concerned weren't able to judge whether the guy that just had sex with them was all that skilled in that department.
Did they let you near them when they were sober?
Also if a woman is so drunk she gives consent to sex in circumstances when she may not normally have done so, is she actually capable of giving informed consent?
Posted by: amberlight58 at March 12, 2008 7:26 PM
Hey laminperth, its a silly term but said in jest l'm sure....
re your comment about guys changing their age, refreshing to know that they do it too...l was beginning to think that was only a trait aimed at women by disgruntled men........................K

Hi Marcus
Actually if you have RSViP its 60 kisses a day, although how you could find enough time to research locate and send kisses out to so many in one day is beyond me.........I am busy enough working and studying. Maybe thats part of my problem in finding Mr He's The One For Me.........
Posted by: jenjen57 at March 12, 2008 6:56 PM
What a revolting name for a drink a legopner. Surely if the only way you can get a woman slightly interested in you is to get her half drunk you must be a pretty boring sort of person. You obviously are not going to be able to do it any other way. And why would any man be satisfied having sex with a woman who only wants him when she's half shot. yuk
Posted by: iaminperth at March 12, 2008 6:34 PM
I also think it's is so silly lying. The truth Will come out one day and then how does the other person know when they can trust that person again. I believe that trust is the basis for all relationships with anything and everything.
Posted by: iaminperth at March 12, 2008 6:31 PM
Silliest question on this site WA seems to be how old are you really ? I have seen some guys profiles disappear for about a week and then turn up with a different name and about four years younger. Different name, different age but the same photo. What a laugh, one guy on here was actually 58 last week and now he's just turned 53. Same photos though..........! I suppose women do it as well but I'm not exactly looking thru the female pics, although sometimes get a little curious as to what they are saying, must admit.
Posted by: iaminperth at March 12, 2008 6:29 PM

We've got local gov't elections this Saturday, and my local Council is window-dressing, to try to keep their jobs. They've even got their Parks Dept staff belatedly raking the sand in the sandpits in all the public parks, to protect the kiddies from discarded popping needles and other sharps, not to mention dogs' droppings in public places, which the Pontiff has just declared to be a mortal sin - one of the new 7 extra ones that are to do with our duties to the universe, rather than to our own salvation.

Silly questions? Oh I have many examples over the years of dealing with the general public when I worked for Australia Post...
A couple of the most memorable are:
A woman came in to send her Christmas presents to the UK. I told her she was in time to send them seamail. She looked at me with a most peculiar facial expression and said, "Does that mean I have to take them back home and pack them waterproof?"
A guy came in to buy a stamp to send a card to Canada. I sold him the correct postage stamp for what he needed. Five minutes later he came back and asked me if I was sure that stamp was ok to send to Canada because it had Australia printed on it.
The bog mindles...

TW.. never heard Pimms referred to as a L..O...er. Was just a nice refreshing long drink on a hot day.. Always had the lemon, orange, etc plus of course the mandatory cucumber peel. Oh dear must've been more naive that I thought in my younger day.. Ah well..
I do remember that there was a time when Dry & Dry was the in drink. That was the Dry Cinzano with dry ginger ale.. I am going back aren't I?? Artsy/craftsy/phoney... Hmm, I actually enjoyed it !!!! "G"

aMDOING IT @ 12.44pm: Yess - Pimms No 1 legopner always taken as a long drink.
My recipe 1 shot Pimms in a very long glass, 1 cubic inch/2 blocks ice, dash of Angostura bitters (still in fridge door today after 3 house moves), equal parts lemonade and ginger ale - strip of cucumber peel and marashino cherry.
Also disguised/camouflaged with half-slices of lemon, lime and orange, if being administered with evil intent.
Champers No 2, of course.
In the early 60s I kept one champagne glass in glovebox of my hotted-up red Hillman Minx (with white roof, to be cool, and less uncool.) If sharing lips later, why not glass sooner?
Cheapskates used Passion Pop, Porphyry Pearl etc, but in Bris-pre-Vegas, vermouth was far too artsy-craftsy-phoney for anyone.
Back to work after lunch.

decoratress ... I'm with you ... 50% just isn't enough, although to expect perfect compatability with someone I think would be foolish and leave us alone for a very long time. As I like to say, some things (that we prefer in a partner) are non-negotiable (read core values) but some are and they are merely preferences. Also, we need to remain open to new ideas that a good partner can bring to us.

Re your comment "Pussy power. Not fussy power for the olde girles. The young girls seem to understand it implicitly"
Some of us "olde girles" (hahaha..) are naturally fussy.. we actually like being fussy.. it brings us quality, not quantity.
Some of us don't feel the Need for a man in our lives, just would like to have one we adore rather than one who is merely ok..
I enjoy many aspects of being single, & am not prepared to give them up unless I meet a man with whom I have an extraordinary connection.
Being fussy is not limited to age.. I was just as fussy when I was in my twenties, as I am now. It's also one of the things I seem to have passed on to my daughter.. she is just as fussy as I am, & has difficulty grasping the concept of 'making do' with someone who doesn't knock her socks off.
Sometimes it seems you forget that we are all different. You are very fond of making sweeping generalisations... this appproach is very often tripped up by the amazing individuality of human beings.
.. you go for 50% .. I go for higher.
One cannot argue Right & Wrong on issues such as these. It all comes down to personal preferences, & our right to have them.

"I can understand how people end up in relationships where the feeling isn't mutual.
You meet someone you get a long with so you see them again; there is some attraction there. Before you have completely analysed your emotions one of you at least believes you're a couple. It's not a bad relationship as you are compatible on various levels but it is unsatisfying.
This has happened to male friends mine and once to me. Not a happy ending."

This just shows that dating can be tricky and it may in fact be rare where both parties are progressing at the same speed. I think so long as each party is given a fair chance and allowed to make a few nervous mistakes and there is open discussion then the chances of hurt for either party can be minimised ... but probably not illiminated.
Posted by: woodnwine at March 12, 2008 9:45 AM
Jenjen
The kiss limit is or was 10 per 24 hours. So only 300 a month.
Men with their analytical brains realise that partner hunting is a numbers game. Women need to wake up that things have changed and to be proactive and honest about it too. Not reactive. Maureen Dowd feminism. Pussy power. Not fussy power for the olde girles. The young girls seem to understand it implicitly.
Just a thought.
Cheers Marcus

Morning Jen, and I also must depart to work. We may be deluded but eventually the odds must be in our favour if we are at least giving it a go.If one sends me an email I always respond and don't take everything in a profile at face value. We were always told to not judge a book by its cover. Some books turn out great while others disappoint but you always have to read at least a few chapters before being able to decide.
Hope the gender rate equals for Chardy Lounge but history tells us the other. No wonder the guys like going there as they get soooooooo much attention from all the lovely ladies.

You can fiddle and fart
And it’s kinda tart,
But if you’re into grass,
It’s better to pass,
Stick to your bongos
Or your bongo van,
But if you’re bit of a tramp
Try using an amp
Or you’ll squeak and squeal
Like a tortured eel,
So give it a miss
Unless you’re on the proverbial.

Perth @ 8.26pm: Marcus, or to give him his european title Marquise, is our current resident exponent of "Yes but!"
He talks a lot (nearly as much as me) but his unusually intelligent and knowledgeable left brain is usually overshadowed by his right brain, thirsting for emotion.
So he takes the opposite side of any argument (or no argument till then) and if that doesn't generate enough emotion to satisfy him, he tries some insults.
Kianee has a pet name for him - I think it's loquaciousandamusing. Does that answer your question? (No he's not naughtyfish)

Bean @ 7.37pm: I was only trying to clue Virgil up about women. But I'm happy to rave on about the other side of the coin for you, till the advanced hour makes me fall off my perch.
So what does a woman do if a man tries to seduce her (your word made him sound like a ram or a wildebeeste), during the first date?
1) Expect it. (So many men are very good accountants. They want to minimise the time and dollars invested, before they get their first dividend.)
2) Think about it scientifically. Consult the stars - get feedback especially from the Southern Cross and the 2 pointers.
Also check the local geography - are you two alone on a desert island? Is he the only blind man for 100 miles around? (sorry - that was a bit insulting, wasn't it?)
3) Keep your decision verbal for a while. Respond with your thoughts and their reasons, before you resort to body language like kneeing him in the codpiece.
Does that answer your question?
Posted by: timewarp1 at March 12, 2008 3:48 AM
Why do I always come, after you've gone to sleep? The seminar was excellent, but my 2-for-$50 guest stayed here talking to me till well after midnight, sun time.
A few quick thoughts: We were told by a planter in the 50s that the world's best legopner was Pimms, and I still have some left in the bottle we hadn't quite finished when a second unplanned pregnancy suddenly turned herself from a loveable larrikin into a teetotal control freak.
Sweetbumblebees @ 1.33pm: What about cutting to the chase with something like "You seem to be down today. What would make you feel better?"
Marcus @ 1.53pm: Are sure about your multiplier factor? Could it actually be the reciprocal, suggesting they'd be ready to pay a dividend after 32 dates? I can visualise that with a gold-digger ...
Blueeyes @ 6.47pm: I'm sorry your very useful question didn't get more replies.
My attitude: In my profile I list what qualities I'd love to find in someone, to make her into "my ultimate fantasy" (I call it that.)
Then in the fine print (which my kind of people DO read, and very carefully) I advise that I'll be very happy if I only find "Ms Right-Enuff who also thinks that I'm Mr Right-Enuff."
I'm with you. I'm not wasting my best remaining years, in the hope of finding my 100%-perfect match, just in time for my less-good downhill years.
The only time in our life that we are able to enjoy is now, whenever that happens to be.
And the quality of a loving relationship depends on the dedication of both lovers to one another, more than it does on the perfection of their suitability for each other.

Re getting some correspondence going.
I can offer that if your replies to men read as much like an instruction book and a humourless list of wants and as your profile that might be the reason.
Try and make yourself sound amused interesting and sexy- and/or organise a decolletage shot. :-)

I'm lining up that isolated (but still within easy reach of civilisation for necessary supplies of said chardy/cocktails) farmhouse. On to it. First thing tomorrow, the real estate mags....
Will keep you up to date on progress....
May I suggest somewhere in the Dandenong Ranges? It's very beautiful up here...
Posted by: decoratress at March 12, 2008 12:45 AM
Willow,
Are you sure all that chardy/ cocktails very loud music and "entertaining" conversation would be suitable for your little ones? (I'm not sure about my 11 yo!!)

Posted by: amberlight58 at March 12, 2008 12:35 AM
Virgil, sounds like a great idea but the country retreat would need to be big enough for my kids to visit on weekends.
Trust me, the other guests will get just as much enjoyment out of them as I do. They will brighten eveyones lives with laughter and unencumbered love .... a thing we can all do with.
A couple of side orders, lots of water to swim in and Foxtel for the footy and a bit of cricket please.

decoratress, love your profile and pics. Unique and full of individuality, think I may have said this before in the past week or so.
As others have said, so I'm just another voice. Glad it is now visible so we can share in it.
Pixie, this is not directed at you and I hope you have been able to understand my earlier joke.

Most certainly Virgil....can't have you providing the entertainment without contributing something myself..
And l do so like a nice cold glass of wine.
Amberlight yes l think a large country property would most definitely be more appropriate, given the loud noise that Virgil will be making and the fantastic singing l will no doubt attempt............K

Virgil..
May I bring my djembes & collection of percussion instruments...?
And my electric violin...?
Pleeeease?
(Kaz, if you're bringing the chardy, I'll bring the makings for the cocktails, ok?)
Posted by: decoratress at March 12, 2008 12:21 AM
I can understand how people end up in relationships where the feeling isn't mutual.
You meet someone you get a long with so you see them again; there is some attraction there. Before you have completely analysed your emotions one of you at least believes you're a couple. It's not a bad relationship as you are compatible on various levels but it is unsatisfying.
This has happened to male friends mine and once to me. Not a happy ending.

Pearls ,Twinsets, Chardy and Cheese.......
I should look okay with my 7 earrings (so far), high heels, and sharp tongue.......
Probably be in charge of thr resident's commitee and introduce Chardy hour or three.. At least l will sleep well at night without sedation..............K
Posted by: auntykaz at March 12, 2008 12:06 AM
I know a married couple who are now in their early 80s. They met in their early 60s (both widowed) and have been together now for 20 years. They both have the most wicked sense of humour and it's obvious they still adore each other. They say that when they got together, they never believed that they would still be alive and together so many years later.
They are still living in their own home, although you can see their health isn't as robust as it used to be.
Maybe having a shared sense of humour and a sense of fun is very important in longer-lasting relationships.
I must admit that my ex-husband and I weren't on the same wave-length when it came to humour.

Hi misschievously at March 11, 2008 3:07 PM.
Regarding your question (not silly, as it is asked by many people,)
>"Are they (girls and boy twins) identical?"
Answer: no.
Identical twins are from a single sperm and single ovum that for some reason scientists don't understand yet, split into two separate individuals not long after conception.
Therefore, as far as the medical profession know; it is impossible for male and female twins to be identical.
Adult males normally have two different types of sperm: female sperm referred to as "x", male sperm as "y".
Some males are genetically predisposed towards having a higher count of one or the other.
A high sperm count is often associated with a higher rate of male child conceptions.
A lower sperm count (whether through hereditary, ill health, age, stress or frequent depletions) is generally associated with a increased rate of female conceptions.
Male sperm swim faster and while female sperm are not as quick, they are more durable than the males and not quite as susceptible to less than ideal conditions.

Posted by: virgil at March 11, 2008 11:47 PM
Amberlight, you get to talk and meet many types of people on these sites and there will always be those we think are lacking in people skills. I don't have a problem with someone changing their mind but they should at least have to courage to say so and this can be done in an extremely polite way.I usually send these people an email stating their intention to contact me and that if they have changed their mind I would appreciate an email saying so.On a couple of occasions I have had apologies sent agreeing with what I had written.If I change my mind about someone I always send them an email saying so but also saying that their company was lovely and I enjoyed the outing I had but I don't think I am the one for them.
Jen- must read your profile again to see what it is we have in common.

pixie 10:44 "willow1059...obviously you just dont get it...think about it before you get too smart!! and also you arent privie to the previous blog on this subject!"
Pixie, my 10:38 post was a joke, a play on words. No intention to be smart or otherwise with merits of the argument. Just read the previous posts tonight about sex, sleeping with others and you will see the context especially in conjunction with others posts about bonk time.
There was no comment intended about the relevance of your post or previous blog topics.

Also misschievously, there are those people who think love is really only about the racing pulse and surge in libido one gets in the heady, early days of a new relationship (particularly potent in one's adolescence). Once that starts to settle down they immediately think that they must have "fallen out of love" and begin looking for someone else who elicits the same response!

Decline from 25 Virgil ?? I think its very individual........TW being one obvious exception as he is still working, very physically active and sharp as a tack mentally. My Dad might even give him a run for his money and he is 89 and not a frail bone in his body. I really think a lot of people talk themselves into being old.

Ah yes the midlife changes that happen....

I think that attitude is a very important part of the ageing process, combined with the physical pressures that humans tend to place on their bodies...........

You are probably correct on the "lust ' thought . By the time he realised it, it was many months into the relationship and yet as a couple we were extremely compatible. I guess we are all looking for different things. Mind you he is a hard act to follow.

I find that sometimes these posts force me to evaluate my beliefs and opinions. I really feel that I've benefited greatly from everything I've read here and I do sincerely appreciate the input of all. If someone says something I disagree with, I have an opportunity to evaluate their comments and opinions in respect to my own. Sometimes my position is altered as I gain a little more insight. Sometimes it reaffirms my own beliefs. Either way, I've benefited. Thank you.

Posted by: riversong1 at March 11, 2008 11:37 PM
it becomes more evident as the years go forward. Maybe some, like possibly Timewarp dont deteriorate as quickly as some others, however its decline from 25.
I didnt even think this would be disputed, given that women have more difficult childbirth as the 30's progress, and stop having children at some point.
Blokes also, I think go through changes, in their 40's and 50's.

Posted by: auntykaz at March 11, 2008 11:24 PM
This is my take on blueeyes' post @10:59
I don't think it is any secret that some men (yes, and women) do not truly understand their emotions. So, it is not surprising to me that they may mistake the initial overwhelming feelings of lust for love.
Hence, once he has satisfied those base desires and the giddy feeling diminishes, he thinks he no longer loves, when in fact, he never did love.
A possible solution: no physical intimacy until love has developed. Assuming of course, that this is the desired outcome.
Posted by: misschievously at March 11, 2008 11:23 PM
What an awful way to treat you, blueeyes.
I have read so many of the bloggers and others discussing this kind of disrespectful behaviour. Whatever happened to treating others as you would wish to be treated?
Makes one wonder why anyone even tries internet dating really. Maybe I am lucky after all!

Neuroticfish......I believed in you...peace out..I also believed in my dreams, your one of the pioneer of this blog until recently recognized you though those picking me, which I started open my eyes figured all this things...
Many times I tried to left this blogs, unfortunately my rest never my thoughts as always my names included behind my back. Which is never given me peace of mind. Reason keeps coming back and back again...
NF..as you been aware of my dreams a beautiful butterfly rested on top of my head but before the omen foretold I have to encounter many trials and bad weeds to ruin my beautiful gown..which is all true ( inside & out RSVP )...
I prayed loud & hard to divine...how long should I be on this quest...My Spirit is willing But my hope is losing...through dreams appears saying...I have the strenght to carry-on on this journey for all ages, waiting...waiting....there is some kind of power I can resist to denied why I was been pick-up to this journey throughout my life,...I fall-in love once but was been curse for disobey and he died my greatest grief.
I was wandering alone for goodness sake 2 decade I almost given up...my own effort, alone, to tackle all the challenges...the great opportunities i left due to the warning sign of my dreams...through travelling as far I could reach makes my time past-away for time being....
At the end of my strenght weaken me...sent message in my dreams, I was bound with a man I have not meet yet from the the revelation will take place why I was in this journey's because of the bloodline...
This man is equal of mine, from all aspects as I see the shoes I am wearing same as his style, design and materials made...he wears my foot shoe - same he does wears mine. If you are the man in my dreams rejoice and be happy as...wealth, peace, old age healthy, honour, bloodline, harmony, travel four corners of the world will be....then it shall be done....if you still remember about my dreams I wrote in this blogs..now it is happening....but if not meant to be will never be....
Thank you so much of the sapphire will talk that once we meet then see if the omen foretold correctly. Have peace body & soul ...as the omen, No human can stop...

maybe MissChievously, but sometimes a non contacting might not be as sinister as one might think. There may be much indecision, sometimes some, who lack either courage, or the ability to quickly decide, choose to do nothing, you just dont know. It is hard being the waiting person.
Posted by: virgil at March 11, 2008 11:12 PM
Mischievous- I would probably think so. Try a lunch date,a dinner date, an email suggesting another date,and a missed phone call then no replies to text messages or emails yet still checking in on the site.You'd think they would at least be man enough to email saying they had changed their mind. I don't understand why some people are not adult enough to let the person know. With an email they don't even have to do it face to face.But at least you would know and move on.
Posted by: blueeyes1955 at March 11, 2008 11:10 PM
Oh reading my last post the first bit sounded a bit cold.....
what l meant was when we are younger the usual point of a longer lasting relationship / marriage is to have a child.....
You know, meet, fall in love, marry have a family, a mortgage, a dog and cat.....
Not for everyone of course but for most the reality, particularly those of us in the 40's and 50's age group........hope that is a bit clearer..............K

Posted by: amberlight58 at March 11, 2008 11:07 PM
Agree pixiemagic, younger days are for procreation in general......that was the point of your statement wasn't it???
Attraction, reaction, acceptance, devotion rejection, dejection, happiness, sadness, all are human emotions that we experience at some time or another in our lives.........
Marcus, a thigh to ply or a groin to grind... what about a bum to knead, and l can't think of anything else that rhymes.......

Posted by: amberlight58 at March 11, 2008 11:00 PM
Am back from dancing- more action there than here.
"Not sure about stars, fireworks and heaven bit either sounds a girly concept." from Marcus. Most of my girlfriends think on a more practical level and believe "being in love" is something that grows in time where you care and love everything about the person.Whilst the male friends think that when they are in love they should see nothing but their partner and the room lights up when she walks in the room.They seem to view it in a more romantic way where they say they can love someone very much but still not be 'in love' with them. I have heard this from a few girlfriends whose relationships lasted a little over a year.

When I was first here piximagic had a theory that once we get a bit older, mother nature doesnt care so much for us.
This theory was not liked very much, and being new, I kept out of it, as one does if new.
Although I completely agreed with the theory
Pixie magic
Ok...here I go again and thanks Virgil for that comment...all I was saying at that time had nothing to do with anyone's libido...it was just about the normal structure of the universe..whether animal or human and that is procreation of the masses. Remember nature is selective....when we are older we are no longer so important to the enduring structure of life..doesnt mean we arent important as human beings just not important in prolonging the species..if that hurts then sorry but its the truth!.
Lets be kind to each other and try and make this an informative/constructive site.

Aliane, sweetie, I have a sapphire ring on order especially for you.
And it won’t be the one that the Babe told me to stick up my new hard drive either.
My next expedition will be to fossick out a few gold nuggets. You would think that on a site full of golddiggers, I could get just one of them to go with me, but no! not a single one wants such pleasant company, such a memorable experience, the joys of camping in the wild, surrounded only by one thonged Yowies, German tourists and Swedish backpackers- the only people these days who go bush in Ostraliya. Oh. Did I forget. A lonely Canadian pocahontas who knows how to keep a wigwarm, even better than Canadian whiskey can. I don’t think she knows what she is in for. Aliane, you must be a mind reader to know all this!

Of course, it's not all up to me and finding someone who is on the same page as me is easier said than done. I'm flat out getting a man to send more than one email. God only knows what I am saying to repel them. It actually has been intrigued, how men think.

MissC,
from my perspective and experience if
your gene structure is sound and your mental faucilties are good you are just coming into what should be the best period in your life, apart from the hormone change that will ultimately catch up with you. With a few exceptions it is now that you are grown up, have the experience of lifes up's and downs, and the confidence to face any situation, be independant if you wish to be, and have the sense to know a wank when one lifts himself out of the gutter.
Cheers OG

Ok Mr ????.... Stop peeping....You're going to give me a complex or something if you keep this up.... you can only say hi so many times you know without making a person wonder why????
Maybe you should just send an email !!!!! "G"
Posted by: amdoingit at March 11, 2008 9:43 PM
ohh I just had a look at your profile amdoingit, umm havent said Hi, I would send a kiss if you were in Adelaide.
Posted by: virgil at March 11, 2008 9:51 PM
Virgil.. That's probably why we have to take extra care of ouselves as we get older.. Mother nature can be very cruel to some yet very kind to others.. Luck of the draw I guess... So far I've not been too harshly dealt with so am keeping fingers crossed.. Good luck to you all...."G"
Posted by: amdoingit at March 11, 2008 9:49 PM
misscheviously.
Yours is an excellent point about lusty love and reproduction and physiology.
I think if you still find your mate hot after those initial stage things look good.
The anthropologists reckon that this rare in nature situation is because evolution stole the mother child bonds.
A lot of people see love as an evolutionary trick and in many ways a sick state with much in common with some psychiatric disorders like obsessive compulsive.
Hmm Cheers MS

Posted by: amdoingit at March 11, 2008 9:43 PM
When I was first here piximagic had a theory that once we get a bit older, mother nature doesnt care so much for us.
This theory was not liked very much, and being new, I kept out of it, as one does if new.
Although I completely agreed with the theory
Posted by: virgil at March 11, 2008 9:42 PM
pash and dash eh? I was going to rhyme the next bit but it wasn't quite Haiku.
It is a serious point amdoingit. The man assumes a woman has her criteria which in the classic situation are pretty straightforward and she decides yes or no.
That is what suitor means.
Aunty.
The cold nip. is a feasible get out because the pash and dash often happens at the car door.

Posted by: oldergent at March 11, 2008 9:40 PM
blueyes, I think perhaps that this may be part of the problem with relationships. It is impossible to sustain those initial feelings one develops when in the beginning stage of a relationship. Many of those feelings are chemically induced, to ensure continuation of the species. The chemicals, or rather hormones, will eventually subside once nature decides that you've had enough time to procreate.
However, this doesn't mean that you can't still be 'hot' for each other, it just means that you need to compensate for the lack of hormonal assistance. Whilst I can't say from personal experience, I do believe that the relationship that develops beyond this stage can be even more rewarding, or at least this is my hope. :o)

Aliane.
Of course it is quiet.
It’s Tuesday nite.
The poet said
As he went to bed.
When women start discussing kissing on the lips, next they’ll be discussing the benefits of holding hands and going steady.
Such discussion always begs the question:
“North or south of the border?”
“Down Mexico way?”
Actually I’m in love with my new hard drive.
The whole 750 gigs of it.
Even an Italian modelling agency doesn’t have that many.

I'm right for dogs thanks though OGre has been barking and threatening to bite me tonight.
I have my lizards and they are very little trouble.
Don't you take anyone here too seriously.
Cheers
Marcus
Posted by: laughsandtalks at March 11, 2008 9:30 PM
Hmm Virgil
Good tip with the Green ginger wine. I've tried mead too. As of 24 years ago I don't drink- too much bad behaviour.
My first was Italian and lives in country Vic with a Croatian bloke who was a more acceptably Catholic than me.
The Croats intervention had it's silver lining because it enabled me to get to know her older sister a lot better.
Cheers MS
Posted by: laughsandtalks at March 11, 2008 9:27 PM
I have one phrase for you marcus - the pash-and-dash :) It guarantees nothing but a good passionate kiss followed by a walk out the door - alone! Always fun :)
Posted by: impossiblebean at March 11, 2008 9:27 PM
OK Marcus.. I am having a chuckle here... Tarts for practise.. goooo... Lets just agree to disagree on the least resistant shall we??
As for the right of veto.. once again a two way street. Have seen many a femme do her dance and display, etc, etc. And so we go.. See.. You can't win darling because it does work both ways.. That's a fact... Agreed??? "G"
Posted by: amdoingit at March 11, 2008 9:26 PM
Come on Marcus have you ever had an Aunty kiss???
Joking actually........ whew he says......
Maybe the tactile nipple is because its a bit chilly.............................K
Posted by: auntykaz at March 11, 2008 9:24 PM
you win Marcus...., I can shut-up as you know I am always "Underdog" would you like pet-dog, they great protector, lover, friends and guidance, I won't bark on you, so don't bite either...fair enough...got yah...
Posted by: aliane at March 11, 2008 9:23 PM
Not a smackeroo girls, a passionate kiss, one with a bit of moisture.
Is a 100% sure thing at some stage if she does that. Unequivocally so. Have had it confirmed many times.
Haha
Cheers Marcus

Do we ever recapture the first real feeling of love??
A genuine question, and by it l mean our first husband, wife, partner whatever, our first absolute love of our lives, for want of a better phrase,
Do we become a bit overdone with the thought of someone totally being in our lives again, as opposed to "me " time???..............................K
Posted by: auntykaz at March 11, 2008 7:25 PM
I dont think so, my first love will always be special. I think she is married to a German guy, now living in Germany, a long way from Broken Hill
Posted by: virgil at March 11, 2008 9:20 PM
amdoingit.
Men usually follow the line of least resistance for sex rather than being easy. ;-}
That explains the popularity of tarts for practise, particularly with the learners.
In the consensual world I inhabit the man makes his pitch, does his dance and display and the woman chooses. The woman has right of veto and picks up the man.
He can rub his bulge against her or himself and sometimes it is helpful but that kiss or the tactile nipple is the sign that says "your in".
Cheers Marcus
Posted by: laughsandtalks at March 11, 2008 9:18 PM
Thank you Jewels... Glad I'm not alone on that one. I'm a terror for that.. Full on smackaroo on the lips. Do it all the time and always have.. Must admit it does take a few back.. Need to remind myself sometimes that it's not everyone's cuppa tea.. Cheers... "G"

for those newbie Bloggers perhaps you don't understand this conversation of mine....my apology.
for those my fellow pioneer Bloggers, I'm sure you know me well from the start. of course you get my clues....
Now my silliest question is:
Where is my Darling?
Where is my Sweetie?
Where are my associates?
As you know I am the "underdog" ...I bark if needed...Dog was a protector, lover, companion and guild-dog for blind-eyes.
thanks, nite is quiet...thanks for the guild-DOG methink!

Even a full kiss on the lips does not mean anything really Marcus.........and certainly no guarantee of a bonk
Posted by: jenjen57 at March 11, 2008 9:13 PM
Marcus... maybe it's equally arousing for a woman...and... much more definite than a bulge rubbing against a thigh... Hmmmm. (sorry, best comparison I could come up with). Does that mean he'll do anything and should I brand him"easy"... Just a little food for thought... See it does work both ways... "G"

Posted by: laughsandtalks at March 11, 2008 9:10 PM
amdoingit.
50% is satisfactory if you are not intent on planning a life together and both want pleasant distraction.
Re the kissing. I mean a full kiss on the lips, not an Aunty peck.
It is arousing for a man and strong signalling. Much more definite than rubbing the nipply part of your boob against a blokes arm or shoulder.
Posted by: laughsandtalks at March 11, 2008 9:04 PM
The silliest question:
She says: “Do you love me?”
He says: “Can’t you keep your mind above your navel for once.”

Marcus @ 7.17... gotta aim a bit higher than 50% . No one's perfect and some flaws make a person more interesting so I doubt anyone will find a mr/ms perfect no matter how hard they tried. As long as the good outweighs the bad and more importantly as long as you both connect on all levels then I would say you've got a good chance of making it work,, Enjoy the search!!!!
By the way... re your post of 6.31... Not true about women who kiss on lips.. I'm one of them (that is what lips are made for is it not??) and I don't necessarily do anything/ everything as you so put it.. Sorry to disappoint.. "G"

Do you think with all your physco babble studies you might not have divided into twins on some bright moonlight night and scared the neighbourhood cats with your baying. Then again you show your complete lack of reason, never married , no children and you want to deride those that have. You want to act like a moron, be my guest, the last time I acknowledge your posts, even the very rare sensible one.

Marcus, I noticed you are peeping over the kerb of the gutter again, imbibed of the Green Ginger again, I knew another bloke yonks ago that got his courage (and was a nasty drunk too) from it. In all respects if you compare our profiles there is no common point of refference to presume your infantile thoughts, my defence of her is because she is not equipt to handle the S*** you dish out, she comes from a much more polite society than yours apparently. Also I sense there are things going on in the background that I know nothing about, probably the difference between us Marcus I will have a shot at men you seem to prefer to pick on women. Now get your head back under the kerb, the moderator may still decide to take it off.

willow, you're sneaking in when it's least expected! I liked your poem, can we have a haiku next?
Timewarp @1.48am - you should always use protection whether it's the first date or not! I might add you didn't include a comment on what a woman should think/do should a man try and jump her on the first date.....
Marcus maybe Timewarp and OG are being nice to Aliane because they like her and can see from her posts that she's a little down at the moment?! It really could be just as simple as that.
Posted by: impossiblebean at March 11, 2008 7:37 PM

Posted by: laughsandtalks at March 11, 2008 7:19 PM
Blueeyes.
Might be just as interesting and more instructive for you to explain if you saw anything at the start of your affair that was a serious portent for it's demise.
Personally I reckon coupling and relationship dynamics for people middle aged like us is a lot more low key than when there is a reproductive and major homemaking urge happening.
Not sure about stars, fireworks and heaven bit either sounds a girly concept.
I'm not expecting 100%.
50% of something reasonable will do me rather than 100% of nothing.
Cheers Marcus

Nothing xenophobic about me cobber. I've had friends who are black, white, yellow and brindled.
You and OGre seem a bit possesive, protective (and patronising) of Aliane. OGre has been really bunging it on.
Do I detect a bit of harem mentality happening. Or at least an exclusion zone?
Good Alpha male stuff.

Forgot to add that I will be checking in again later tonight for some rivetting reading. What I asked has also happened to a few friends also and there seems to be a concensus amongst the women that it is a Mars/venus thing.ie men and women see 'being in love' as different things.
Rules- no arguing tonight
Posted by: blueeyes1955 at March 11, 2008 6:54 PM
I'm off to dancing again tonight-yes a glutton for more exercise even after the 15km fast walk on Sunday. We need another discussion point for tonight.
How many of us have met and dated the person we thought was our match only to have it end a few weeks or months later because the attraction was not 100% mutual? You both like each other heaps but one is still looking for the fireworks and stars each day.Are we really going to find such a match made in heaven or are we reaching for stars that are unattainable and asking too much? Are you prepared to not have any close relationship because you only want the 100%?
Will be interested in some opinions here. I thought I had it and although it ended, am glad for the time I had in preference to not having tried.

Aliens' posts usually read like mumbo jumbo.
I would suggest that is why they were axed.
Jenjen, further to your survey results. You were interviewing women, who it is well known prefer discretion to honesty in such matters. Once again the .25 multiplication factor is applicable, giving us 2 or 3 dates.
There is also the Bill Clinton first date defence. "I did not have sex with that man Marcus, Bill, Virgil" whoever. Mind you within 5 minutes of kissing him she had a mouthful.
Actually from a 'tag and release' hunters point of view you know that if a woman kisses you on the lips she will do anything.
If she is not appealing still there is no need for further time and trouble to get the trophy.
Cheers Marquis

Hi all (or few, but magnificent in your relative isolation....)
Just back from a day on the road, delivering stuff and being given money (I like that - easier than climbing around in ceiling spaces all day) and oh dear, I seem to have missed some naughty bits!
What a disappointment - the naughty bits have always been my favourites.
Off to a marketing seminar in the CBD soon, so remember friends - censorship works the afternoon shift now as well as the day shift, so tone it down till about 11pm Mexican time, willya, so I don't miss the next bit of excitement? Pretty please!

As far as my posts getting wiped, I have no concerns whatever about same. You have to be quick to catch the early bird before the worm turns.

Posted by: virgil at March 11, 2008 3:10 PM
Hello Again,
First, I'd just like to say that I've enjoyed reading the blogs over the past couple of weeks; even the heated content. Whilst I don't always agree with what is being expressed, or particularly the way it is being expressed, I do respect everyone's right to have their say. However, it seems to me that people sometimes forget that ultimately what they are saying is just their opinion, based upon "their" personal experiences and world views, hence counting for very little in the grand scheme of things. Nothing wrong with that, except when it is expressed in an opinionated way.
This is merely my opinion and I hope I've not expressed it in an opinionated way. :o)
Enough of the preaching. ;o)
Silly question:

Jen57,
It may be to save embarasment, should someone (nasty) off line want to bring it back up to hurt. Normally I would agree, write it live with it, and they are lucky if 10% of the time the blog title is adhered to, but like Topsy they just growed, and seem to have a topic life of their own.
Cheers OG

Where did the blogs go and why? Neuroticfish ... thanks for the compliment but I didn't see your previous post so have no idea what you said. Was it good or were you telling me what I should be suffering about? I did see something about waving a red rag at old cows. Was it something to do with that?

Sorry Marcus but my survey samplers have no incentive to exaggerate/fib to one of their nearest and dearest. So in your world it may be 2 dates to B day, but in my real world it is 8.
2 dates hardly gives anyone time to say hello let alone do anything more intimate. Reduces us to no more than dogs on heat really........but whatever works for you :)
I see the blogs have been broomed today. Why ? Not offensive, and hardly any of the posts are on topic.
Posted by: jenjen57 at March 11, 2008 2:01 PM
JenJen.
It is well know that you multiply any salespersons claims by .25
That would give us 2 dates to B day. This tallies pretty well with real world observations.
Cheers Marcus

Jenjen: You have made my day! I am average after all! (With an average girl, that is - but I have come across as early as date 3, if she was unusually attractive and very impatient ...)
What a relief! Now I can go to work no longer wondering, and so can Virgil.
Posted by: timewarp1 at March 11, 2008 10:21 AM
Hello All
I've been watching from the sidelines for a couple of weeks now and thought it time I joined in. Just waiting to be approved, yet again! ;o)
Apologies if this is a duplicate. I tried to post but got the 'not signed in' message.
Posted by: misschievously at March 11, 2008 10:04 AM
Virgil, you seem determined that someone put a number on it !! Why I dont know.
So for your very dubious benefit, I have done some statistical and amusing research amongst my gf's who are aged 38 to 53 and the general consensus is, if they like you and things are going well, the average of responses is DATE 8.
Posted by: jenjen57 at March 11, 2008 9:41 AM
Virgil,
Everyone knows you are a gentleman and a few know also about health problems. Just struggle on regardless. You can only do your best with what you have.
Same for Woodnwine. He is a gentleman too, but I doubt if too many women on here appreciate him for what he is. I notice that my last blog addressed to him was wiped; I was freezing and blogging from an Antartic polar cap, having been nominated as the BiPolar Adventurer of the Year by one RSVP bootlegger, and it was an attempt to get him to match the cynical attitude that a lot of femmes on here display in real life, once you get past their self righteous advertising, and doctrinal holy roley adherence to the true gospel of chemistry and the Lord will show us The One but meanwhile let us road test (ie sleep with) everyone else in sight and have fun but never admit publicly to what we are doing.
So I ran into a look alike think alike age alike, veteran of rsvp at a certain location and he recalled a certain femme on here from the freeloader capital of Australia, who told the tale:
“Do you know X. Took her out to drinks and she ordered the most expensive bottle of champagne from the bar. Cost me $Y. She ended up sneaking out the bottle under her coat after only taking a sip. She now calls herself ChampagneCharlie on rsvp due to this brilliant exploit.”
Touché
Posted by: neuroticfish at March 11, 2008 9:36 AM
woops ... one more virgil .... if it's looking like it won't happen until date 20, along the way you should get (and give) signals that it is in fact going to happen otherwise I think it may just be destined to be a friendship and that's all you can expect sometimes.
Posted by: woodnwine at March 11, 2008 9:33 AM
I certainly feel there is a place for all the dumb questions.
Organizational theory has been mentioned here before, McGregor's theory Y and X, andI may have this wrong as I no longer have the book, but the theory was that people would do as little as possible so as to keep their jobs, the counter theory was that if the jobs were made more interesting, the employees would perform at a higher level.
It is not always a "given" that employees will work efficiently and effectively, particularly if not supervised.
"Are you open? no, its 8.55am and we open at 9. the door is open to let staff in.
Is there more out the back? shop asssistant returns with the item due to selling all available in store items, and either to busy or lazy to replace stock levels.
Posted by: virgil at March 11, 2008 9:33 AM
virgil ... just my thoughts but I would advise just being yourself at a meeting (forget those representatives). If you put on a flashy show for a "hot" woman and she likes that personality ... you're in for a big fall when the true you comes out later. If she likes you as you, that's the only way it can work. Obviously make an extra effort when meeting someone but make sure it's still a true reflection of you.
Posted by: woodnwine at March 11, 2008 9:29 AM
virgil ... I do understand that this topic needs consideration but I believe it happens when it's right .... no rules. That might be on the 2nd date or the 20th date. You'll know when it's right just as you'll know whether it's worth waiting for 20 dates ... different people connect differently. One thing is for sure though ... it does change things and does turn a meeting/friendship into a potential relationship and it's probably at that point that you know whether you can really bond with that person. It's also the point at which things should become exclusive, if not before.
Posted by: woodnwine at March 11, 2008 9:25 AM
neurotic fish
Thank you for your assessment of my normal place here.
In a dating situation, I mostly come across in the same way, nice person, respectful etc.
When meeting someone "hot" (dreadful term, but you get the picture) they generally say no thanks to future meetings, because they most likely percieve me as boring, or at least not exciting.
From our last blog topic, sending our representatives to the dating process, I wonder sometimes how I might find a more exciting representative.
Posted by: virgil at March 11, 2008 9:18 AM
Timewarp,
Thanks for such a well thought out, in depth answer.
No doubt, its not an exact science by any means. But you had it right when you were mentioning bell curves and statistical deviation from the mean, etc.
This is such an incredible resource, a basically safe place, where questions can be asked, answers collated, and a conclusion arrived at that satisfies my sense of curiosity.
When the topic of the blog is dumb questions asked of an employee in a shop, I wonder what sort of relevance this might have to adult men & women in a dating site discussion group?
What if the majority of women said "date6"?
I feel that might be a general guide, to give an idea of whether something may become sexual, or will forever remain in the realm of friendship.

Hello cautious08,
There is nothing wrong with being taught to be cautious, good to have another fresh face. Literally lol.

Posted by: oldergent at March 11, 2008 8:56 AM
Virgil,
Such crud-ity on rsvp is unbecoming a gentleman like you.
I’ve known one woman for 5 years and have never got past the “stop touching me”
And that was only on her arm and a light and gentle attempt at tactility.
Fortunately I have just accidentally run into a girl during ordinary life outside the unreal world of the internet, and she has never even heard of rsvp and so has not had a chance to have her brains mish mashed like scrambled eggs and been all screwed up by the nonsense that women go on with on here.
I am actually breathing fresh mountain air for once. But being such an avid blogger I feel at times like I am in a Spanish bullfight ring waving a red flag at every old cow that they let into the arena, but never receiving too many “Olés” for the effort, more like “Oh dear sweet newcomer, they’re only a few on the blogs who play rough.
“Olé!!!!!”

Morning all...
Welcome cautious 08.. Enjoy the journey and fret not.. very few bite, they just growl a little that's all..
Virgil, you can't put a time frame on it darl. One of those things that just "happens" when the time is right. You should be just enjoying the getting to know each other and everything else should just fall into place. "G"

Posted by: timewarp1 at March 11, 2008 1:57 AM
Virgil @ 12.43am about the numbers game: You really want to know about this, don't you? I'll try again:
I posted my theoretical reply to your question at 8.26pm:
"For me, it's probably about 20-30 hours of fairly-high-level emotional communication before I feel I know enough about the person
to decide whether I like them and approve of them, enough to feel safe getting intimate with them.
But that's an output measurement (when do I feel ready) not an input measurement (what's the meter reading, so far - date 3? date 7?) "
I think input measurements are for dumbies, eg. "I turned up for the exam" or "Look how hard I tried!"
I say "Yes, but what did you actually achieve?" (the output measurement.)
But maybe you want simple statistical bell-shaped curve answers, Virgil, like
"If she propositions you towards the end of the first date, Virgil, she's probably a nympho, and you better wear a girl's condom, 'cause she's been everywhere, man, and you'll never know what she's collected along the way. Until your doctor tells you"
"Date 2 to 4 also shows that one of you doesn't care much about what kind of human the other one is - just whether they're concave or convex. But you also know that they don't want to APPEAR too sleazy/desperate."
" Later than date 10 suggests you haven't heard about sex, or just want to be friends without benefits for a while. Or that you're me, back iwhen one disappointed femme called me "The Slowest Gun in the East."
I told her not to be co-dependent, and if she was ready to pounce before I was, just to put the hard word on me instead of name-calling. So she did, and we did, and it was pretty good for a while.
But I have to come back to my thesis: there's NO special date number that you're fast if you get ahead of, and square if you don't keep up with.
Go with the flow, read the vibes, check periodically with your target both verbally and with body language, and then strike when both irons are hot. Whenever the time is right for you two.
And don't give a single thought about when it usually happens - that's just being an unauthentic copy-cat.
Night all.
Posted by: timewarp1 at March 11, 2008 1:48 AM
Hello to all
New kid on the block so please be gentle. I've seen how rough you play at times!
As for the question, well I like to set my own pace and if this proves to be an issue then I have all the info I need to realise I should look elsewhere.
I try to be open and honest so as to prevent misunderstandings. This can be a tall order for a female when under pressure.
That is why I call myself Cautious
Bye for now. If I'm game I'll join you all again sometime.
Posted by: cautious08 at March 11, 2008 1:09 AM
WnW
I'm sorry to have disappointed you.
There are at times, genuine questions that I have. It may have been the use of a TV show, or the answer might lie in the area which would say, that every situation is different, and to judge the appropriate time as that situation arises.
Although, what if there is a time, that most would agree, is appropriate to consder the possibility that tonight might, in fact be the night.
Surely, there is a concept of too soon. In this category, I would put the first and second dates.
Not only would this be not honouring the other, but it would set the time for the beginning of the actual relationship, possibly before the people in it have had time to learn enough about the other to make a reasoned judgement on the merits of a relationship with this person.
So WnW, I agree with you the phraseology initially used was a bit juvenile.
I had hoped to put the question in a rather less serious format, to see what answers were forthcoming.
I could be wrong, the whole question might be faulty, that is, there might be no particular time that is more appropriate than another, however I suspect, that many of the blokes here have a sort of time mechanism to determine the correct time to ask the question.
Similarly, in the interests of equality, at what time might the women here think it would be OK to
(A) Ask the question? or
(B) Expect the question to be asked?

"some years ago, before my last long term relationship, I used to think 3rd date was bonk date.
I used to enjoy watching Ally McBeal where lots of my friends told me it was unrealistic american crap, well, surprisingly enough, Ally was going on her third date, everyone called that the bonk date. It wouldnt be universal, but is there some sort of consensus on what date is bonk date?"

What a collection! Perth @ 8.40pm, Amber @ 8.52 and Seven @ 8.56. Stuff like that makes me proud to be in the same sandpit with you.
OG @ 9.47pm: Don't stress mate. Only the carpet snake focusses totally on his current victim, till he can grab her and hug the life out of her.
Virgil is right. Programme dates no closer than 2 or 3 days apart, so you can listen undistracted to each one, and not confuse one with the other. That would be thoughtless and rude.
And don't propose to the first, till you've met the second. Sometimes when I've been busy kissing AND have got a higher than usual 'Yes please' %age, I've had up to 4 programmed to meet, during the following 2 weeks. Four in one excessive week in March 2007.
Just give each one her time across the table, during which you focus on what you think of her, and think "Do I want to meet this person again? Why?"
And if so, let her know. "I'd like to meet you again. Would that be OK? Can I phone you within the next week?"
And mate, enjoy being a nervous teenager, all over again! Beats being blase, any day.
Posted by: timewarp1 at March 10, 2008 10:32 PM
Jenjen57 - each to their own, but I must admit, when I'm seeing someone I leave off RSVP, blogging and all. Apart from which, if seeing someone, when would you have the TIME? :)

Up until August last year I lived in Rockingham, catching the Eagles bus to Subi every second week. Now I live in Adelaide and go to AAMI to see the Crows every second week. After 30 years ( a Subi fan in WAFL) of attending Subi Oval every second week, AAMI is fantastic. Especially the SANFL members area.
Probably will take an Eagles scarf to the ground in round 2

The world is a big place, full of all sorts of people - not everyone will like everyone - that's one thing we can be sure of.

I was escorting a group of English tourists through this conservation park when we came to a muddy area, where there were some kangaroo pellets and two footprints. One was clearly a thong imprint, the other a rather large bare mammalian footprint.
So one English tourist asked the silly question:
“What animal made that?”
So I said:
“Well, in Australia, all our Yowies wear thongs. This Yowie has clearly lost his other thong, which is why you can see next to the thong imprint a BigFoot.”

Mount Claremont Virgil, good spot near to everything. It's really quite weird at times the competition between the two teams here, they don't seem to realise there is anyone else in the world.
Posted by: iaminperth at March 10, 2008 10:18 PM
So what roughly is your area inperth? around the Claremont Cottesloe neck of the woods?
Its great to be able to catch trains home after a few drinks in Fremantle.
I'm a bit disappointed with what I have seen of Freo so far this year. They were good here at AAMI until they got run over by the Crows. But thats what I hear from many Freo supporters, dont care how many wins so long as they can beat the Eagles.
On the other hand the Eagles dont worry too much about being beaten by Freo, so long as their major playmakers dont get injured.

Anyway this resort pool was full of German tourists.
So I did my best belly flop, which invited the silly question:
“Oooooooo. Is that how you are supposed to dive in Ostrayliya?”
“Oooooooo. Yas. That’s how we won the flat diving at the last Olympics. We had the best women’s flat diving team in the World, or were they the best flat chested diving team in the World”
Thought I might just mention this as the Bay Jingalong Olympics are drawing close.

This is public open forum...what they read is how to believed cos, I am to blame nor they knew exactly the truth behind this forums. ...As i said let's the Man ...

Either of him, I can't get any information any of this forums...he is quietly speechless. and I am speechless what I know....I just relied on my instinct and understand the process of this conversation forum to accumulate all relevant stories.

Blueeyes,
Thanks the second lady and I exchanged mail then the first lady contacted me later with suggested venues of her choosing.
River I am very well aware of another old saying "Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to decieve"

Yikes, what is everyone talking about Pogo sticks, catholics, sex, flirting, constraints, silly responses, who's submissive, agressive, selfish and on and on. Now let me see in WA the other day someone rang a radio station and said they don't care how many the Dockers beat this year so long as they beat the Eagles. What a sad tunnel vision perception of the world, oh small minded art thou. Personally I would like to see the Bombers step up again. I'm going to have a seafood platter with a couple of glasses of wine in Fremantle tomorrow with a couple of friends and we're going to solve all the problems of the world......lol.....well have a lot of laughs anyway.

Riversong and OG- both close. It is an inflated ball with a platform around it (looks like the planet Saturn) and you balance on the platform and jump.It doesn't have a handle like a pogo stick. My skipping team use it in their performances.
And no I'm not a player because I blog (LOL). I told the fellow I can talk to whom I want when I want and as often as I want.Talk about someone laying down the rules before we even met. He wrote his first email to me in rhyme which was kind of cute. But by the 4th email in verse I was getting a little concerned about what planet he was from.

You try swimming round and round the same old goldfish bowl day in day out.
Bit like the battery fowls on here. They are in two bit cages defined only by their narrow mentality about what constitutes a “relationship” and keep being force fed the same reinforcing pellets by other women of like mind.
Like, can I add to all the battery fowls, an addendum to my profile:
“Oh you’ve just read my allotted 400 words and decided that I won’t make good ‘relationship material,’ How nice. Has it occurred to you that I may not want a ‘relationship’ with a battery fowl. Keep pecking on your pellets.”

Wish I could say I had made my money out of writing Mills and Boon books N Fish. But you know, I haven't even read one of them. Those sorts of books have never appealed. Am I missing out on anything special there?
OG- just chat to the second one on a casual and non-leading basis via email till after your lunch date.You could always be honest and say that you are meeting another lady this week and she might be open enough to reply that that is fine and if it doesn't work out , she would like to meet you too.

Did you make any association in the "Rise and fall of the Roman Empire" to the wasting disease of the people of that time to any modern disease, and that is in itself is a misnomer. Laurie Garrett in her book The coming Plague, reported a case of AIDS in England in the 1930's.

Posted by: jenjen57 at March 10, 2008 9:57 PM
laughsalot71,
regarding the short term /long term question in the profile. I would think that some people might interpret short term as a one night stand, but there is no such thing as an instant long term relationship so it is a bit silly. You can always make your own interpretation clear in your first contact or in your profile.
Posted by: thelynathdiary at March 10, 2008 9:56 PM
OG - no need for quandry - you haven't met either of them yet - nothing wrong with mixing and mingling at this stage. Once you do see what you want tho - an old wise saying: if you chase two rabbits, you won't catch one! Double goes for juggling women :)
BB - funny retail question - I give up - is a pogo moon hopper one of those sit-on bouncing ball things?
Posted by: riversong1 at March 10, 2008 9:56 PM
There is no concept of monogamy whilst dating.
Monogamy comes to be an issue once people start having sex.
In fact in order to find a girlfriend, at times it is necessary to meet maybe a couple of women in a week.

Marcus, if you had read even the basic available literature on this modern concept then you would know the hallmarks of such arrangements...the things that distinguish it from other sexual interactions.
Could you point out where I said Puritanism is a desirable part of social cycles? I think you will find I did not, but rather said that "history has a habit of repeating itself and there is a cycle to social behaviour and permissivness and puritanism." My statements are based on my years of research into History, Politics and Gender studies. The evidence of cyclical permissivness and puritanism is quite clear. The world did not start to evolve the day you were born Marcus...your attitude suggests though that you have no care for the welfare of future generations and are run by the immature side of your personality...instant gratification for Marcus and tantrums if his needs are not met.
What have my arguments about FWB got to do with Western Democracy? I suggest that the ideas such as FWB are the very thing which will undermine society and destabilise and threaten the lifestyle we now enjoy. In any case why be so self congratulatory about your good fortune in being born into such a great life without any effort on your part when the greater percentage of the world is starving or living in appalling conditions.
My opinions are based on fact or at least researching of many views.

Alaine.
Does it really matter what other people think, if in your own self you know you have done no wrong. I have the principal that if I do not respect the person insulting me then they cannot hurt me. If they are trying to manipulate me for their own benefit or ego, ignore them or do a nasty Marcus and give them a spray. It works and gives you a great peace of mind.
Cheers OG

How about silly questions that are rsvp specific:
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“What do they look like.”
“You know what I mean. A girlfriend!”
“No. This is rsvp. Here we only have ‘friends’ (the dregs that, after having been wined and dined at great expense to the management, finish the night off with- “You are a lovely man, but…..maybe we can be friends. See ya.”)
“Couldn’t we be friends with benefits” (your average rsvp male trying to resurrect yet another losing date before it is too late)
“No. I only know what you are after.”
“What? My back scratched? My toenails cut? Coffee maybe? After all I just spent $200 on you tonight”
She: “You do ask silly questions, don’t you?”
He: “Well, it is rsvp. You can expect silly questions here and even stupider answers from some very stupid women.”
At which point she rapidly turns tail, slams the door in his face. Game ended.
It’s Called the Silly Questions Game and the Even Sillier Responses Game Played Out.
Posted by: neuroticfish at March 10, 2008 9:32 PM
blueeyes, maybe your friend will find a woman who feels the same way eventually. A friend of mine recently married, and she had been in the same turmoil as your friend, until she met a man who also was not wanting an intimate relationship without commitment. When he finds someone right for him who has the same values perhaps he will be happy to make a long term commitment.
Posted by: jenjen57 at March 10, 2008 9:32 PM

Noname, my friend has dated a few but at this stage in his life does not want a committment such as marriage but would like to be in a relationship yet feels he cannot because of these restrictions.Unless you are in the same boat it would be difficult to completely understand the turmoil his mind is in.To me, it's easy to say-just do it and worry about the guilt later-because I don't have the same upbringing.I don't feel one needs to have a piece of paper saying "married" in order to have a good and loving relationship.

As to the Catholic ladies, my second wife was and still is a very staunch Catholic. As she said she did not have lovers before she met me, she married them, For some strange reason, when the time was right, ( no manditory timing) it happened and spontaneously. She went into a spasm of guilt, and wanted me to drive her to confession. I did it with alacrity (not being a catholic) Her confessor was the priest that had christened her. The first thing on meeting him I did was say to him B and I have just made love and we want to know if you have a problem with that. His reply was "About bloody time she found some one good for her" no confessional, a few choice words for speaking to her priest like that on the way home. So shortly after she moved in. He was the priest that married us later. So your friends had better find a priest with a greater love of his parishoners that the dictates of rigid/ I will leave it at that.

Are you going to the Adelaide blog meet on the weekend?
I'm not sure if sounding like an 18yo is good or bad? I would like the fitness of an 18yo, prefer the life experience of a 56yo.
I think we all have unique sets of life experiences, from these we form our values.
I dont think my views would be consistent with an 18yo.
Posted by: virgil at March 10, 2008 9:09 PM
Blueeyes perhaps your friends could bring up this issue with their priest? They may find that the church's atttitude has changed over time - they're desperate to keep their parishoners and are changing their stances on many things these days, you don't even have to go to confessions any more before taking communion which is something I thought they'd never change. Just make sure they aren't talking to Bishop Pell.....

Riversong.Compliment received. Thanks.
Posted by: blueeyes1955 at March 10, 2008 8:57 PM
Yes I agree totally blueeyes. I have really high morals too, sometimes I really wish I didnt. When my friends seem to be hooking up with men left right and centre and I realise its been another year and Im still alone. When young guys want to be my toyboy, and everyone says go for it, just have fun, and I think about it, BUT.......Im not saying no out of some misplaced morality,nor as a n expression of superiority over those who say yes. I am saying no because these things do not feel right for me at this time. I cant wait till a sexual /relationship opportunity comes up that i am interested in and keen on. Well i can wait and i will but you have to be emotionally equipped to handle the consequences of the things you do. I am not equipped to be rejected or used, and there is always a risk of this when entering a relationship of any kind. In the meantime your values or standards of behaviour help protect you. Its not about being square, its about knowing yourself and being kind to yourself, and not putting yourself in situations that make you uncomfortable. Has your friend actually met a potential lover? If not, maybe he shouild just stop agonising for the time being. Then when someone comes along he can weigh it up then. If he hasnt actually met anyone he has no idea of how he is actually going to feel when he does. When he feels ready he will know!!
Posted by: noname7 at March 10, 2008 8:56 PM
Can only agree with you NN7, people need to be true to themselves.
Goodness me Virgil, you sound like an 18yo!
Surely when both parties feel comfortable with the idea, is the right time? If either party feels pressured into things, then the relationship is not exactly starting out with the best chance of success is it?
If your lady friend is taking too long to warm up to the idea, then you have to decide what is best for you.
If you are worried that the delay is due to her not being an overly sexual person, then you have to decide whether she is worth waiting for or not.
Lots of women have not had a happy sexual history; maybe her ex was inconsiderate or incompetent, maybe she felt used in a past relationship, maybe she needs to feel that there is a chance that your interest in her is more than a passing fling?
If you think that she's not worth waiting for then just be honest! (but be kind about it!)

We seem to have someone new moderating these blogs laughsandtalks. Not too long ago we would see posts disappear almost before our eyes if they were not on topic, but for the last few months whoever has that boring and thankless task seems happy to just let us wander off topic as much as we please. Which is a good thing as most of the topics are DRIVEL.
Posted by: jenjen57 at March 10, 2008 8:46 PM
I don't blamed people to misjudged me. i am trying my best to stayed out of trouble, I was brought up good families values, and I am not relationship wreckers...I have enough to proved myself without causing any trouble but how could I let them believed my sincerity.
I have experience this many times, I was always blamed as a relationship wrecker but I have had NOT done anything wrong...if my mistakes if Men fancy on me...can I stop or to be rude not too, I can't hold their feelings either to manipulate them. I always been accused being attracted but it was curse losing friends of misunderstood from my belief and sincerity.
I was disgusted of myself...why do I need to sacrifice for others happiness....about me I am just human with feelings too. How long i can hold my morals values...they always manipulate me to do against my wills and happiness for the sake giving-up my entitlement. i am not forcing anyone, How long I can run away....
Please try to understand my feeling I am Mortal person felt hurt too and valued what is right for me.
Posted by: aliane at March 10, 2008 8:42 PM
Why can't everybody just live with their own individual values. Surely being yourself is the only way to start or sustain a relationship. How is the other person ever going to get to know you if you are not yourself. Noname says I'm a nasty person but I know I am not so that's enough for me. I care very much for my friends and have had some great relationships but I have remained true to myself and so the relationships were very honest. I am good friends with most of my past relations and care and value each and everyone of them. Why did they not all work because we were all honest and retained our individuality and it didn't work. Has nothing to do with staying friends and caring.
Posted by: iaminperth at March 10, 2008 8:40 PM
I can't speak for the Catholic point of view but what interesting stories a priest would hear in confession. And how difficult for him it must be to keep these confessions a secret knowing who has devulged them.
Another blog topic? True confessions?
Posted by: blueeyes1955 at March 10, 2008 8:39 PM
Timewarp, I dont think its square to want to feel safe about being intimate with someone. We all have different ideas about when is the "right" number of dates before "the bonk" , for some it will be one (had that experience very recently but I work on a much slower clock) and for others it will be 100. And just because we dont want to get up close and very personal with someone doesnt make us square or prudish, just different from those that do. So if you are square and cubic you can be sure there are lots of us here that are a similar shape :))
Posted by: jenjen57 at March 10, 2008 8:39 PM
I have sometimes had sex at a first meeting, this being the desire of the female partner, not mine. My experience of this was all bad. Of the women I liked, after that they wouldnt see me again, as they were embarrassed.
My thoughts are that 3rd date is minimum, but if the partner says no, wait some more time, and there is still spark, this person is of high quality, and definitely worth waiting for.
Posted by: virgil at March 10, 2008 8:35 PM
It is an interesting point on personal values Noname. But as with me, I still have high morals but my attitude and my thoughts on many topics have certainly changed since I was married at 22. And what I may have thought wrong then, I now look at from different points of view and can also accept why other people choose different paths. My friend also thinks differently on how he should be able to behave but his conscience keeps stepping in and he dislikes this inability in himself to be able to deal rationally with the situation.He doesn't see it as abandoning values but having 2 distinct paths to choose from and you can only choose one.
Posted by: blueeyes1955 at March 10, 2008 8:33 PM
Virgil just then: I'm old, and I'm so square that I'm cubic. And a bit of a shy bush boy, underneath it all.
Third date is way too soon for me, or fourth, unless there's a lot going on between us by email or phone, in between actual dates.
For me, it's probably about 20-30 hours of fairly-high-level emotional communication before I feel I know enough about the person
to decide whether I like them and approve of them, enough to feel safe getting intimate with them.
But its an output measurement (when do I feel ready) not an input measurement (what's the meter reading, so far.) Chow!
Something about trust. SallyNoosa said something valid about that, a couple of nights ago. Too hungry to check back and quote you the exact timeslot.
Posted by: timewarp1 at March 10, 2008 8:26 PM
What is the deal with Catholics, sex and confession?
Can you go to the priest and say forgive me father beacuse I have sinned, I have had sex with my girlfriend 10 times this week?
and continue to do that every week?
On the other hand, maybe if I wa a catholic, I would never confess to having sex with a girlfriend as I would not consider it a sin, more like a God given right.
Posted by: virgil at March 10, 2008 8:25 PM
MArcus, there working bits are in order (according to them) but their emotional brains are still ruled by the upbringings.I have suggested to my male friend that at least he would have something to confess about on Sundays.We talk openly about these issues, and he has also with counsellors , but when it comes to the crunch,years of indoctrination are difficult to overcome. Even Rasputin was supposed to have raped a nun.
Virgil asks what is the consensus on the number of dates before a 'bonk' date. If it called that then it suggests it fits into FWB topic where you schedule it into your calendar.I've been asked before even the first date when a fellow RSVP asked me out .Since I hadn't even met him and that was his intention then he didn't even get to the first date post..
Posted by: blueeyes1955 at March 10, 2008 8:23 PM
Ok My view is that people should stay true to their own values. If they are Catholics and their religion is very important to them it might be that they need to date other strict catholics that have the same values and wouldnt expect sex. Imagine abandoning your values you have held all your life, then having a disappointing or even humiliating sexual encounter . You have abandoned values that are really important to you, and havent even got a decent bonk to show for it. Once you have done it you cant go back!!
Posted by: noname7 at March 10, 2008 8:21 PM
The Churches attitude to sex out of wedlock was frequently stated in the 50's and 60's such that I thought if thats the churces attitude, I will give up going to church.
I stayed away for many years until I met a lovely young woman, respected weekly church goer, and who loved sex.
After breaking up with her, I went to church myself, and never once heard any condemnation of sex between people of any description.
I think most churches realise that to confront people on their bedroom habits is not a done thing these days.
Posted by: virgil at March 10, 2008 8:18 PM
some years ago, before my last long term relationship, I used to think 3rd date was bonk date.
I used to enjoy watching Ally McBeal where lots of my friends told me it was unrealistic american crap, well, surprisingly enough, Ally was going on her third date, everyone called that the bonk date. It wouldnt be universal, but is there some sort of consensus on what date is bonk date?
Posted by: virgil at March 10, 2008 8:06 PM
TLD @4.06pm: Oooo Wah! Now you're really putting me in a spot, aren't you? Good on you.
What did we try to sell our daughters about things like sex, and did they buy it?
Relevent to look first at what we showed them (show not tell.)
When we married (me 28, she 22) she'd had a boyfriend for a couple of years (till she poured her beer over his head at a big party.) She thought he was gorgeous looking, and I didn't need to know what they had or hadn't been up to. Little or nothing, I guessed, except mutual admiration.
After I'd turned 20 I'd been physical with 5 girlfriends one after the other, with decent gaps between, but gone all the way with only one. Both 26, I'd taken her out on her first dinner date, which was routine for me, and she'd taken me in to her bed, which was routine for her. A very good trade for us both. And got a kiss from her in Melb last month, walking along the footpath behind her second husband.
I can't remember even kissing my Ex before we were engaged for a year and a day. It was a meeting of minds mainly. I adored her for no explicable reason, and she saw a kind, good-provider father for her children.
Our marriage was totally monogamous - she wasn't very interested in that sort of thing, and I'd put the blinkers on myself, as a matter of loyalty to her
Twenty-odd years later she moved out of the bedroom, so she wouldn't be a temptation to me, and I wouldn't be a nuisance to her. Very thoughtfully I thought, she suggested that this was enough justification for me to look around, "but don't let the children know." I was too loyal to my own standards, but I sometimes read the Personals, and wondered what if ...
So we showed our children a marriage that seemed totally child-centred. Never one night away from the children, though we had my mother sleep over whenever she babysat while we went to a party for my friends or Joan's, rather than Mum having to drive home 2km late at night.
Quite a few public hugs and caresses. "Your father is an excellent stroker" to a 12-year-old daughter coming into the kitchen and loudly saying "Yucky schmalzy."
But it didn't fool them. I remember Miss 15 finding us in the kitchen at sundown as usual, while herself told me about her day at school (never the other way round - "Your work is boring.")
"I can't understand you Mum. You've got a husband who loves you, kids who try to make you proud of them, and a job you enjoy, and you're miserable as Hell.
When I grow up I'm going to do the exact opposite of what you did, and see if that makes me any happier."
That included meeting Mr Right at uni (both 19), going steady with him for 7 years, including every 2nd weekend alone with him at his parents' holiday unit above the surf at Burleigh. Marriage in late 20s not early, and another 8years till first child, not two. And it's certainly working for her at 40.

Noname7...who's' you refering to address your post. It is Karina itself alone. I am just felt instantly your feelings but I don't know if I am mistaken...
I read your blogs on dating games, its reminds me one of my friends help, but she is reluctant to expressed he feelings in-case she been ignored and humiliated, i can sense that all of sudden impact happening in her life..it's was all about me, the hindrance...which is I am innocent...pardon me i was mistaken...
Posted by: aliane at March 10, 2008 7:54 PM
Okay Noname, here is a topic that has come up many times in conversation re. sex before marriage. I have a few friends who sadly were widowed a few years ago and in both couples, the surviving spouse are strict catholics. Both were virginal up to their marriages. Both now have difficulties in dealing with the different attitudes these days and their upbringing in the church. They are still not supposed to have sex outside of marriage.
Question? How do they deal with being in their fifties and telling prospective partners that they might want to but shouldn't have sex outside of marriage. It certainly would limit dating on a site like this where I have even read one profile that said' by the 4th date you should be prepared to go all the way as enjoying each other on a sexual level is as important as any other aspect of a relationship."
One friend is reluctant to enter into any relationship and the other recently broke off a relationship which had not gone to the next level after 18 months of dating.
Asking for opinions here , not a religious war please.

Do you work here is a sarcastic way of drawing attention to yourself when your being ignored ie "Do you work here, well why are you totally ignoring me when i am waiting to be served then" Are you open means "I see the door is open but as you have no interest in helping me does that mean you are in fact closed" do you have any out the back means "I can see that the shelves are empty, but you do look pretty lazy so maybe you just havent bothered to restock the shelves" Perhaps Karina was crap at her retail job which was why she was asked these questions, and why she now works as a blogologist. Is she better @ blogology than she was at retail ? Merely a silly question. Anyway what does it have to do with anything. Lets talk about something controversial!! LOL

It is dinner time Guys. Last blog about f**ting and now movements?
IST asked about funny retail experiences as per topic. Don't think I have too many of those. Have left the change room with tops on inside out but looking at the way some fashions are made these days with the seams reversed, i don't think anyone noticed.

.....I've got one...had to think hard on it...took my daughter into a church when she was about four. She asked me what you do here and I said that you asked God for things...what would you like to ask him ?...she said a boiled egg and some toast soldiers....hmmmm..and then she saw God up on the altar and got very excited!...but, alas, no boiled eggs.

I spent about an hoour the other night trying to post a question about the FWB subject that was brought up but I aint going there lol
One question though... do people interpret the 'short term' realtionship option as a possible one nighter or FWB?
Yes I have been reading for a while and seen some of the stirrers in the pot.. each to their own I guess, if that's how some get their kicks then all to them. People are entitled to their opinions but you get more respect for your difference if you are not so aggressive with it.. well that's what I find anyway.

Marcus, lack of moderation seems irrelevant here, as it seems this site is self moderating, and topics evolve to suit the group. Valuable members push the envelope, encourage, push and cajole other members to peer, cross eyed, over the edge of their square, even if they cannot be persuaded to step out of it.
Laughsalot, that story will be told to your grandchildren :-) great to see your post

My sister did the same thing laughsalot but she had one red and one black shoe on - she wasn't in a shoe shop though, she had just arrived for a breakfast pressentation for a leading fashion mag. She turned around and went home to change and none of us at the office would have been any the wiser if she hadn't had to call and apologise for her non attendance - we giggled about it all day.

I walked into a shoe store that was having a sale to buy some new sandals and when I looked down at my feet I had two odd sandals on, my kids just couldn't stop laughing and the face on the sales girl, she was dying to crack up.. so I just said, well why do you think I came in for new shoes.
I had been in a hurry to get out the door that morning and had just shoved my feet into what was on the floor (one white pair & one brown pair)
This is my first post, hopefully the submit button won't eat it.

When we had our first child, now nearly 23, I tried the "just wait until your Dad gets home" bit. But his (my son's) memory (and mine) wasn't long enough to last until his dad got home!!
Yes, all the child care books tell us (and let's face it, it makes sense!) it is better to deal with the situation as it arises. And it didn't seemfair to make his father into an ogre!

the silliest question on earth...
Have had to sell one house, the potentials buyers checked the proper value of land/house in the real estate market...
One buyer said, lower his price undervalue of housing price market...I have asked to increase the price offer...but boasted and commented the house is old building possible during 2nd world war build, old fitting, old kitchen, old bathroom. Needs to be done with more costly him than buying New-Build Homes,... whilst making comparison from other real estate, one new build house with all those modern interior design. But it bit higher price offer. So he goes with New House Build seeing admirable everything was all fix and fixtures...made deposit to sealed the contract exchange.
One potentials buyers,...looked the place inside and out, surprising and smiling never asked for discount price and made deposit straightaway without checking and making comparison to others and he is sincerity wants to get this old house.
Both potentials buyers settled and moved-in...few years past...The New House start to tear-off as the building structure not solid as it could be...he regret buying due to was fascinated of all New Modern Accessories...he decided to sell in lower price and losing almost half of his asset.
While the other potentials buyers...he was so delighted, made small renovation and the valuer made higher price increase in shortest period of time. .. is smart enough, sees the potentials of the house build in Solid Hard-Wood, solid rock foundation, great location, sounds secured & happiest he could be..and never wanted to moved or sell in the future, secured as his retirement sanctuary place with his pride called "My Home"...
There's a great lesson....listen...look wide eyes open...think four corners ....and feels the differences.....cheers..

A silly question on this site? "I read your profile and can I have your photo password?" The answer should be no because it is written in my profile which means they didn't read it in the first place.
Silly questions from kids :-
Have you got the time? instead of 'what is the time'? I usually answer 'yes' and they look at me weirdly.
Are we there yet?
Amberlight-you asked OG whether his relationship with his father influenced the realtionships he had with his own children. I think we all take on board our own experiences with being raised -some follow the same pattern and others try to make it completely different. I , for one, was brought up on the end of my father's belt and when i had my children made a conscience effort to never do the same. My father's attitude has never changed and because of this has lost a lot of wonderful opportunities he could have had with grandchildren.It's good to see so many father's today having a larger role in raising children other than dishing out the discipline.Same rule applies to FWB- enter and leave the relationship on equal terms . Same can be said for marriage. I often wonder in hindsight as to how many of us enter into it equally.

Oh Marcus re your comment "Lynathdiahhorea dear" :
Leave Lynath alone, she has as much right as anyone to say what she thinks, whether you agree with it or not.
It is childish (see you've triggered my "parent" again!!) and disrespectful to call people ridiculous names like that and you know how I feel about you calling us "dear"!!
By all means argue against her point of view if you must; just leave off the disdainful name calling!

Posted by: oldergent at March 10, 2008 5:45 PM
I remember well, that my wife had the joyful moments with my sons, when they were little, with the expectation, that if they were naughty, I would discipline them when I got home from work.
So instead of having a nice time playing with my kids after work, I would often have to discipline them.
This concept was so ingrained into the society I grew up in, that I never thought to question it.
It is strange, this methodology was tried with my daughter as well, but I had wised up by then, and whatever stories were told to me, I was able to enjoy times with her, and my wife and others quickly realised, that if my daughter was naughty during the day, it was neccessary for the discipline to be done at that time, because I was not going to fall for that a third time.
Posted by: virgil at March 10, 2008 5:42 PM
To the "Mister nasty Marcus"
you seem to have a hang up about Lynath seeming to challenge your self claimed superior intellect on this site. I at no time have considered her as "sermonising", simply stating her opinion if you find that antagonising or "how dare she think diffetently to me" that is your problem not hers, but I see your riposts as nothing more than your attempts to Buffalo all and sundry with your verbosity, and vocabuluary. Too much book learning to mark you as a thinker I think.

Posted by: oldergent at March 10, 2008 5:42 PM
OG,
It's wonderful that you are friends with your children. It is good that despite the so very traditional way that your family functioned (you provided, she resided) that you must have still been a "good" dad despite these limitations, because otherwise they wouldn't want to be friends with you! Maybe you did more with them than you thought!
Yes it's hard being a parent these days but I think the perception that things are more dangerous now is only because we hear of disasters, wars, terrorist attacks, almost as soon as they happen, whereas when I was a child it took hours, sometimes days, before we heard about anything

Thelynathdiary....I thank you so much and my head vows on you, you know it from the start I like very much of your post. I know one time made some misunderstanding in my part and I honestly sorry about it. I was paranoid misunderstood about it.
Yes, FWB, I agree with you and iaminperth.
it is devalue of relationship. Negative habit, majority Men applied of this terms. So why did Karina made this Blog topics because Ours explanation and others brings this sensitives issue we're all affected and may slightly change or broaden lighten-up about the terms of dating games. I was the key Issues to the surface to rock the solid foundation of two promising people intimate long term relationship ,... that's how's to explained the consequences if people would agree in FWB. Some may finds it's cool to stayed in FWB, but when love triggered one person while others is for Monkey Business...what's left of morality, nothing, Vengeance taken to another person reason unfairness to those in serious seeking genuine relationship.
FWB... applies only short terms never never in long term. Same recycle old rubbish approached without good intention. For the sake of earthly needs.
Cheers...

Hello Willow,
how was your weekend with the kids?
Posted by: amberlight58 at March 10, 2008 5:19 PM
The silliest question might be;
"What is the answer?"
Lynathdiahhorea dear, you made me spray my coffee. Friends with benefits are now responsible for people "saving money by rejecting social interaction".
I don't think this is quite what happens but following your logic surely increasing our savings and thus reducing inflationary pressures is beneficial.
I nearly choked on fruit cake when I read the next bit. After a sermon about FBW causing a cold world, puratanism being a desirable part of social cycles (how?) the devaluation of wonderful things, responsibility avoidance you then say blithely "it is in no way related to closed ideas about sexual relationships"
Lambasting the simple, practical, consensual and valuable experience, not to mention sexual fun, involved in non conventional relationships is defining of closed ideas.
Unfortunately for your arguments lynath, liberal, secular, permissive even, western democracies like ours have the highest standards of living, among the longest life expectancy rates, extremely high literacy, the most even distribution of wealth and the lowest levels of social inequality and crime, including those against women. None of this is accidental or good fortune it is directly related to personal and social freedoms.
Cheers Marcus

No exchange or Non-refundable....And will be open to another customers. So I agree to it and made a deposit to secured the items....then walks from another store's a salesman's say were closing down need to almost give away this items, No deposit required and take it with you, you can wear it straightaway...So, OK nice..this salesman does Not give hard time...So, I went back to that first to cancelled my Lay-by, and he said it's OK,...no big deal...i got your deposit plus the wedding gown, so get lost and another customer coming in for my sales with all my benefits back ?..the greedy Salesman doesn't even know the Fair Trading on eye on him, Penalty chips over his shoulders, No escape!!

Amber.
For all the prudishness attributed to my fathers generation, it seemed to me till he was well advanced in years, that the little brain led the big brain a merry dance. This affected me till I met my "Ice maiden"
Sorry to say that even in my generation that men who were married and even a little effete were frowned apon, I provided she resided, the only time I was called upon strongly was to administer the discipline she decreed. Fortunately the words "I'm going to tell your father" were sufficeint to save me from having to go further, she ruled our family in most things, when she passed away I took over to hold the family together, now our get togethers are more a meeting of friends than parent and siblings.( see the pic of me, when they caught me when I snuck in to wash up) The one thing is the pleasure of knowing that she done such a good job in their formative years to create such good people. Honestly Amber I am glad I am not a young parent today, I truly fear what future my offspring are facing in this modern world with the fanatics that seem to abound.

Oh dear, another new topic! (I forgot it's not a holiday in some states) Funny retail experiences? My daughter works in retail and the attitude of many people these days is far from funny!
OG,
it's so sad when people realise too late what they could have had with their children. For your dad's generation it seems that many men only saw their role as a father as being a provider and disciplinarian. Of course, there were, as in every generation, enlightened men who didn't want to be like everyone else, but they would have been few and far between.
Did your experience with your father influence your relationships with your sons (I just checked your profile to see if you had children before I asked!) if you had any?
I think men today are so much luckier than your generation, there is so much out there to help a man be a good father even if he had a poor father himself, (if he wants to be of course!)
Posted by: amberlight58 at March 10, 2008 4:16 PM

Posted by: oldergent at March 10, 2008 4:09 PM
sorry carry over...
Aliane, you are such a clever woman. That was a great answer to the dismissive comment from Marcus because of your earlier post which got to the heart of the mattef of FWB..that is
the "effectively agreement to devalue all wonderful things"
Marcus again in your reply to me you have resorted to dismissive 'put downs' because you have nothing else to say. Now I notice you are trying to back pedal regarding FWB to include emotional benefits when all the time the discussion here has been FWB in the sexual sense.
Yes, destabilising society, Marcus. The whole idea of FWB is about "responsibility avoidance", "instant gratification" "all about me" and "saving money by rejecting social interaction "
It is going to be a pretty cold and mixed up world for many people if this trend continues.I doubt it will however, as history has a habit of repeating itself and there is a cycle to social behaviour and permissivness and puritanism.
Because someone does not support this horrible concept does not in anyway make them a prude Marcus.
FWB is in no way related to closed ideas about sexual realtionships.
There is nothing more irksome than the double standards inflicted on generations of people in order to keep them controlled by family or state or church. Hypocrisy has run riot especially in pre pill era's. There are countless "pillars of society" who oppose sex before marriage and living together and all the rest, who have been expecting children when they married!
Timewarp, you have raised the idea of being puritanical..I am wondering how you approached the education of your daughters on this subject? What's good for the goose or a big dose of hypocrisy and ancient puritanical deodorant for them?
