Online Dating Service

Mon, 02 Jul 2007 21:03:42 GMT

Now personally I have no experience with online dating, but I have numerous friends that participate and pay good money to use these services. One friend actually spent $900 just last year in dating services alone! That doesn't even count the babysitting, shoes, clothes, gas, meals or activities for the dates!

When I got married it was 1994 and the internet didn't exist, but times have changed! Dating has changed rapidly since the existence of online dating services. You can meet someone the first day of signing up. Coffee/drinks seem to be a great start. It's like a small meet and greet date - mini date if you will. It takes the pressure off of an actual date.

I've heard that you know if you have the right chemistry with someone within the first 10 minutes of meeting. I think that's why these mini-dates are perfect!

There are hundreds of dating services. Anything from Christian to fetish sites. It's amazing what's out there. There are even sites dedicated to one night stands! It's amazing how things have changed since I started dating.

The more known sites are eharmony.com, matchmaker.com, americansingles.com, date.com, firstclickfriend.com, friendfinder.com...

Then there are the fetish and more sexual sites like adultfriendfinder.com, hornymatches.com, alt.com, bondage.com...

There are also gay dating sites like outpersonals.com, gayfriendfinder.com, gaydatingonline.com, gaycupid.com...

Even seniors have their own dating sites like seniorfriendfinder.com.

There truly is something for everyone!

Some websites are free, or you can have limited access. Some sites charge huge enormous fees to join and you have to pay extra charges to get more and more access.

You have to be extremely cautious with online dating. Some people are not who they say they are and pretend to be someone they aren't. Just be extremely careful with online dating and don't get fooled into paying for something you aren't receiving!

I should also mention that my friend that spent $900 is not dating anyone at the moment and never got a solid relationship out of the money she spent. Most of the men had over compensated on their profiles and were not what they appeared to be online.

Good luck out there!

What do women think about gray hair?

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 16:02:52 GMT

So I found this article this morning and I immediately thought of my neighbor Dave. I actually agree with the article, except for the some of the poll answers! But anyone that knows Dave knows he's a great husband and father!! :)

The results are in. We asked Match.com users, "Ladies, is silver hair really sexy on guys?" and thousands said:

Gray hair is hot—72%
Let's admit up front that gray hair on men is distinguished. On women, it's just old. He's a silver fox. She's a crone. Oh, well, that's why there's Clairol.

The only thing better is when they're bald—12%
Let me just drop one name: Sean Connery. Or two: Patrick Stewart. Or three: Michael Jordan.

Silver's a sign he's passed his prime—16%
These gals are certainly entitled to this opinion, but in my book, the real turnoff is the thinning pelt. The long retreat of the hairline above the eyebrows leaves a skinny peninsula marooned over the nose. Then come the desperate attempts at disguise with the dreaded comb-over. At last, nothing remains but the semi-circular fringe above the collar.

Only an accident of genetics or a horrible brush with death turns a full head of hair gray while the owner is still young. In most people, it's a sign of advancing years. Aging confers many benefits on men:

1. They accumulate power and status in the form of money and position
When you go on a date with a silver fox, there's none of the dithering about that typifies a younger guy. He's got a plan. He'll pick you up. He may even open the door for you. If he's of the old school, there's no divvying up the check, either; it all goes on his platinum card. Once upon a time, a silver fox offered to send his airplane for me. Not every older guy has a fortune, but they are usually past the scrimping stage. Of course, you may have to make some allowances if he's still paying alimony and child support.

2. They become wise in the ways of the world and women
When you date an older guy, you reap the benefits of decades of female tutoring. All the women in his life who have preceded you—his mom, his girlfriends, especially his first wife—have hopefully taught him what women want. Those women educated him in the finer points of how to dress, how to act, how to listen, how to appreciate you.

3. They know how to have fun
The silver-haired fox who's going through a mid-life crisis typically drives a snazzy red sports car and throws around lots of money. He makes a great traveling companion. He's got decades of jokes to tell. And he's an enthusiastic lover. If he's already raised one family, chances are he may not want another. So if you don't particularly care for kids, he's a good choice.

4. They make good fathers
If you do want kids, and so does he, children from later marriages have certain advantages. A dad going through his second childhood makes a great playmate. And he may pay a lot more attention to children of his later years than kids who came along while he was fully immersed in building his career.

Maid 2 Order

So I have this friend who owns a few companies. He hasn't made a spot yet, but I'm trying to convince him otherwise. But if anyone needs any landscaping or a maid he's your man... well he's not the man that will clean your house, but you catch my drift. Anyway, www.maid-2-order.net is the site if anyone in the DFW area needs something.

BOYS! CHECK THIS OUT!!

Alright, so I get this pervert while I'm working and decided to do a google search... well boy did I stumble upon something quite interesting!! Now let me warn you. Before you click on this it may NOT be safe for a work environment or children for that matter. http://www.fleshlight.com

Now... is it me or would all men enjoy this??

Men!?

Sat, 16 Dec 2006 18:12:15 GMT

So I was looking through the Top 20 Searches on Yahoo and 8 of the top 20 are women! What is wrong with men???

Women	TV	Sports	Electronics	Music
Britney Spears	The Biggest Loser	NFL	Nintendo Wii	Akon
Tara Conner	Golden Globe Awards	WWE	Limewire	Hi-5
Beyonce Knowles	Peter Boyle	NBA	RuneScape
Paris Hilton
Lindsay Lohan
Fergie
Miss USA
Ciara

Then the only thing that doesn't fit is "Christmas"

It just seems so strange. Seems to me that 99% of the Yahoo searchers are men. Are women on the internet at all?? It just seems that women are using the internet less and less and men are using it more and more. My friends are always complaining about their husbands on the computer. Plus women always complain how they aren't computer savvy. Just seems odd to me.

Myspace

Mon, 04 Dec 2006 22:15:54 GMT

Myspace... why is it that everyone and their brother has a myspace page, but yet they don't actually use the page? I think it's very weird. It's like they have a page, just to have a page. Nobody usually ever updates them, blogs on them or does anything with them. Myspace is alright for networking, but it's not a good form of communication. It's hard to navigate and the perverts are endless. Now I just wish everyone would see the light -- or see spots -- and come this direction!! Come into the light! Come into the light!

Me!

Yep! It's all about me! Kidding. No. This is really neat. A lot of options. Just checking it out.
