For the sake of conversation here. Is there a unintended/intended south/west bias ? Do those in the east dream of being in the west, and those in the west aint leavn' ? Is the allure of the west more powerful than the relationship itself ?

I think "ADMIN" should consider putting Monte on the payroll. He generates more fun and chatter than anything the staff does.

I've seen people here move across the pond to be with someone they were interested in. It's not about whether or not it can be done, it's about whether we really want to do it. I speak from experience here, I really don't have the "want to" to try to make any relationship work right now. I'd like to be in a relationship, but at this point, it's not on my list of priorities. Distance would be an excuse. Time is my big excuse right now, but if I really wanted a relationship, I'd find time.

I will say for me, and probly most, "distance" is the number one reason for remaining single. It was easy at 18 to match up with someone in your own home town. But with age,years of experiences and acquired wisdom, the easy goes away. Even with all that, it is impossible there are not many many great relationship prospects out there for each one of us, if not for "distance". Even then, someone gets a new address, a huge undertaking in anyones life.

LOL Problematic to whom? Men, women or me? Off the top of my hat, judging by male participation to date, I have to imagine the thread would have about as much participation as a Monday nite chat room. Now WOMEN ONLY, the cyber-wieners would be kickin down the door to get in but alas, I'm sure the cyber-babes would eventually decide they dont need me either... Admin, all I dont need is a bunch of cyber-dudes asking me why their mailboxes arent full...And what do I do if Bruce Jenner comes in? LOL >m<

"Just for men" I am thinking that would probably end up being a blog where Monte would be posting to himself. Answering his own blog might make one wonder. Just sayin. Luv Ya Monte.

Would it be problematic to start a topic under your blog category called "Just For Men?"

QP...Wonderful and positive thoughts on the strong and silent type but in my experience and speaking as a male-ster, strong and silent could be an over-rated attribute combo.. It could simply mean he just doesnt want to talk about his time lifting weights in the exercise yard at Sing Sing...>m<

Now I never pondered the capability to read. Near to 17,000 "views" told me some reading was goin on...lol It was merely a cyber-man curiosity, a wonder... Heck, if I were seriously looking for my cyber-soul mate, I'd be blog-blabbin my cyber-butt off here, being very careful of course, to only say stuff that I know women want to hear - I love horses, puppies, I do dishes, I faithfully take out the garbage etc -In this day and age, I believe a modern cyber dating fella should take advantage of all self-promoting opportunities...After all, cyber-man cannot exist on profile info alone... >m<

Tuck - Men can read? Does that apply to instructions too? Um, not likely. Luv ya all regardless of the level of participation. There is lots to be said for the strong, silent types...personally I prefer laughter. And it makes folks wonder what is going on and feel like they are missing something.
