Whilst I very much agree with you... If you got a good thing going, you hold on to it... Is all I'm sayin'... Doesn't mean all the great guys are paired up with all the great gals... And doesn't mean there are no good ones left. But yeah... It does seem to get harder with time. And it's not like I think I am this AMAZING person and deserve someone equally as AMAZING... But there is less selection, it seems, and therefore seems less likely I will find someone on the right level of compatibility.

I really do believe that past a certain age, MOST of the good ones are taken already... But I suppose the same is true about women... "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Apart from all of it... It's so dehumanising. Seriously. I just blacklist people for the most random things... Oh - that guy is wearing a hat in one of his pics... Who wears a hat??? What a pretentious douche. Blacklist that motherfucker ASAP. Litterally. I would NEVER behave that way toward a person who was actually standing in front of me. I'd probably find the hat charming. *sigh* "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Ermmm... Not quite... I don't know how old 'yall think I am, but I was born in 1980!!! (November 14th, in case any of my stalkers want to wish me a happy birthday when it comes up!! ) And I am serious... I have spent as much as 7 years away from the sport... What might be *more* intimidating is that I recently took up boxing (for example). But that would not be immediately obvious on such a brief encounter "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

I don't know... I kinda got the impression before even getting up close that he already had a look of DISGUST on his face!!! (OK, disgust is a bit strong, but you know, I sensed something was "not right" from his face...) Anyway, I'm not going to sit here and speculate about what was going on inside his head... Because I am not interested in getting to know someone who thinks this is an acceptable way to behave.

I don't believe that applies to people who are not "fanatical" about jumping I skydive sometimes - not as often as I would like, but then it's not my main hobby.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Simple question; yes or no? So what, if I believe love at first site is possible I should also believe in hate at first site??! Or maybe you're implying he is looking for love at first site? Either way, he could at least have shrugged and added "sorry"!! And to answer your question: I don't, but I've heard it happens...

I did have this one but it got removed because there were other people in the picture. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

It's meant to deterr the people who want a barbie-like girl. Which I am not "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

My thoughts exactly

Yeah, but only so he can meet up with me an crush my little ego all over again! EDIT - attached the 6th picture on my profile (since I just changes my dizzy avatar). "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Ok, attached are all the pics uploaded on my profile, plus my current avatar on here (dz.com only let me attach 5/6 of the photos - because of size??) So like I said, meeting me in peeson should not have been a shock... (I was looking pretty nice today!) EDIT - I just changed my avatar... The cat on my knees whilst I poop is not on my online dating profile... But maybe it should be?!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

I did not have time to utter any words!!! And besides, attached is one of the pictures from my profile... So like I said, the pictures on there are really really the real me!!! For better or for worse!!!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Nope - nothing weird or freaky that is obvious "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

I "liked" a guy's profile on a dating site and almost immediately I got a message from him saying "What a lovely surprise! Shall we meet up for a coffee?" So I agreed to meet at lunch the following day (today). After a grand total of about 3 seconds, he looked at me and said "OK, I'm going to leave because this is *not* going to work." So he just got up and left! (By the way, the pictures on my profile show *exactly* what I really look like. No fluff, no photoshop, no makeup - nothing that could be misleading in any way shape or form. I even included some rather UN-flattering pics for good measure - because hey, some days I look like that!!!) So yep - if you are a guy and you think we women never get rejected, think again!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

This, at least, would be an acceptable reason for not coming round to mine!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

BINGO!!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

But you also bullshitted the guy...presumably because you, too, also grew up in North America. I mean--you told the guy that you wanted him to show up at the next karaoke party. If you truly don't feel like sex is such a dirty shameful thing, why did you stop short of a direct invitation to your apartment in the next 10-20 minutes? You are claiming that you embrace a certain "European openness" but your behavior is definitely that of "North American mixed messages". Just saying'. And his age has nothing to do with it--I'm probably 10 years older than you but my reaction to your behavior is no different than it would be if I were 10 years younger than you. I did not bullshit the guy - I was at a village gathering (with half of the people from my village)... Anyone who has lived in a small village understands that everyone gets into your business, so announcing to the entire croud that he should come over to my place in 10-20 minutes is not the way forward... Nothing to do with how I feel about sex - just simple common sense. If it had been possible to say it to him without the entire croud hearing it, I most certainly would have been exactly that direct. Sex ain't shameful, but that doesn't mean it needs to be public, either!!!

Nope nope and nope. It was not at a bar, it was a neighbour's birthday/bbq. Neither of us had anything to drink. He was passing by and I said he should join us (which he did after he ran home for a quick shower and change). ETA - Iago, I'm guessing you grew up in North America... However over here, that kind of thing has not yet become part of a young man's psyche... Over here, men are cheeky and women love it and mostly there is no such bullshit about "changing one's mind" because no one feels like sex is a dirty shameful thing. And thank goodness for that!!!

Closer to 20 so you have time to change into something more comfortable ;-) ^^ the voice of wisdom (and age)!!!^^ "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

True story: last night this younger guy (by 9 years) was flirting outrageously with me and proclaiming that age doesn't matter... One of my girly friends clued into what was happening and insisted he should come to my next karaoke party. To which he replied - oh, I didn't know you lived around here, and I vaguely said I did. Because we're surrounded by people I know and I'm not gonna blatantly announce to EVERYONE that I was interested. So as I was leaving, I reminded him he had promised to come to the next party and I discreetly told him *exactly* where I live and told him he should come by sometime, and I believe I even winked. NOW... A guy closer to my age (or older) would have waited for 10 minutes after I left and then shown up at my door... But a guy 9 years younger ends up with his dick in his hand, looking forward to my karaoke party!!! Just sayin'...

I spent a year in Sweden I also speak broken Italian, a couple of sentences in Spanish and can read/speak very basic Arabic. I also do boxing and knitting and do quite a bit of yoga... I sing and I dance a little... I don't tell you guys EEEEEVERYTHING, ya know...!

Nope, but I have gone on various trips to inspect/select spare parts for us to buy and sell on. You know... Check the general condition, check it has all the appropriate paperwork (or get it if it's not up-to-date), ensure it is worth selling (not too many flight hours, et cetera, et cetera)
