Religion: Baptist.

I've heard there are some sects that are pretty progressive.

There is no such thing as "happily ever after."

Relationships take work.

Umm... to keep from paying a boatload of alimony and child support.

That girl was a riot.

I think she meant to say, "not from you."

This turned out to be some decent advice. It was fun to see the competitiveness come out.

Close, but no cigar.

I am going to STOP being a people pleaser!!!!





is that ok?

It's only my opinion, based on what I know of her.

Same as your opinion. Funny how two people of high intelligence can see things and make such different assumptions.

That's why this election has been so very odd.

You could also say the opposite of that: the entire time Trump was berating the voting system, calling it rigged, and indicating he wouldn't necessarily concede if he lost (and everyone predicted him losing), the media, Hillary, and the Dems, demonized him for calling into question the voting process.

Once Trump won, Clinton was in a pickle. If she called into question, the legitimacy of a Trump win, it would paint her as a complete hypocrite.

Don't be surprised if it is found that Jill Stein is being funded, cajoled, offered favors, etc., to push this issue.

Nothing should surprise any of us, any longer.

Get off the internet and go meet some real, live, women. Talk to them.

It's really not that complicated.

I would be down for a Donkey Kong challenge.

Let me know if being pathetic works.

Take the time to be single. And I don't mean try to sleep with every woman in sight. I mean take the time for some introspection regarding who you are, what your goals in life are, what your goals in a relationship are, why you made a bad decision (she wasn't right for you), and what you are going to look for in the next woman you meet.

Stay busy. Go to the gym, or start running, or biking. Or just go for a long walk and listen to some good music.

Spend time with people that make you happy: friends and family.

Volunteer your time somewhere that could use your help.

Remind yourself that you are strong, and you will get through it.

Take this time to work on yourself and be the person you want yourself to be. Everyone you are in a relationship with, even good relationships, can hold you back to a certain degree. Take this time to do the things you might have held back on with this last person.

Remind yourself that there are a bunch of women out there that are glad to see that you are single again. Work on making yourself attractive to them, and others that might have overlooked you before.

I agree. Well said, Crystal.

Pretty bad when the best answer, to a question directed towards guys, is from a woman. lol Just kidding, men of mingle.

On the other hand, you pointed out some definite flaws that are found in a LOT of women (needy, clingy, drama queens) that maybe a guy on here wouldn't feel comfortable pointing out.

That being said, it works both ways. If you are a woman looking for a man, you will find those same types (insecure, etc.), and have to go through the painful process of sniffing them out, then avoiding them or getting rid of them, posthaste.

I think we are all (men and women) looking for a SECURE, well-rounded, confident, person, that is still willing to be vulnerable enough to let someone in, to form a connection. They don't grow on trees.

I think you are on the right track.

I give you a solid 7.5

Exactly! Who wants to do a bunch of teaching?

This story is getting even weirder.

There's always this place. You're not alone here.

I hate talking on the phone. I would much rather text.

The only time I talk on the phone is if someone calls me. Or if I need information from the other person urgently. Of if it is something important or meaningful, and it can't wait until we see each other in person.

Texting was invented for people like me.
