Girls are much more relaxed about the whole sex thing then they were thirty some odd years ago.

Now, if sex was not that important to you as a teenager, then you might not notice. But I was a 'healthy' young man then, (as one might say, the wind would blow, and you know the rest), and women were not like they are today.

Maybe in hindsight, it was for the better; I'll never know, since I am now here and not there.

Honesty is hard to convey on the interwebs, I know. But as a preacher, I try to preach to be honest as one can about one's feelings and all. It's better to be honest about them, and get them out, then to suppress them and become some sort of pervert.
OH!!! You're referring to whores! :light bulb shines above head: I just assumed they'd been around since the beginning of time. Its not my thing just hook up with the first ready/willing person that shows me a little attention and to be honest I don't really want to befriend anyone who is that way. I'm more curious as to the psychological reasoning behind these actions (daddy issues, etc.)

Sex is too important to be throwing it around like rice at a wedding.

I need to get into shape, too. Not too many girls interested in jumbo men such as myself.

There's someone out there for everyone. For everyone who likes to strangle, smack, torture, pee on, or kick their "partner" in order to get off; there's someone out there who enjoys being on the receiving end. In the words of Dan Savage: "and so long as they're not hurting anyone else, why should they be made to feel guilty? Or any less virtuous than you..?"

There's not a huge "dating scene" in the Tri-Cities. Nowhere to meet girls unless you go to church or bars, neither of which I do.

It doesn't really get easier as you get older. I RARELY drink and bars aren't my scene. I can't picture myself dating someone I met at a bar or club. I don't go to church and I'm done with school (for now). I can't ever imagine myself dating anyone from a 'dating site' (but if it works for you - AWESOME! ) and dating co-workers is BAD for so many reasons.

What does that leave? Prison? I meet new people through friends but no one I want to particularly date. I'm still against the idea of marriage for myself but I DO want to spend my life with ONE person. I guess what I'm rambling on about (I need sleep!)is if I haven't met them yet, I hope its sooner rather than later.

:rofl:

Going to school isn't exactly a guarantee of finding someone either. I have to take night classes, and there are only 1 or 2 gals in the Electrical Engineering program at my university, and neither of them are really dating material (at least for me) IMO.

I'm thinking about signing up for a dating website, but every time I think about doing it, I change my mind. Just seems too impersonal... what do you tell your kids? "Well, your mother had the most beautiful avatar you could ever imagine...."

I had ONE night class and it was full of "non-traditional students" who were basically dislocated workers between the ages of 35 - 60.

The biggest thing I miss about college is the socialization. There were hotties EVERYWHERE. Towards the end of my major it was easy to talk to the girls in my classes because we all had something in common - our career paths () and it was always an instant icebreaker. Its easy to talk about classes, professors, grades, projects, etc.

One route we've overlooked is going the reality show route!



Doesn't she look AMAZING? That's a class act right there

OK, I'm going to bed now before I drown in my own sarcasm.

Shannon, let's start a Reality Show.

Most of the students in my classes are workers from "the area," people from the Hanford site that are going back to school for bachelor's to further their career. It works out nicely.

Well, I was almost 400 pounds when my much smaller then that (soon to be wife) went on our first date. I was lucky; I was into Star Trek, was overweight, and pretty strange and nerdy and scary to the average person. In fact, I was the lucky one; what in the heck did she see in me anyway?

Nevertheless, I will say with my semi serious hat on, that yeah, sex should not be thrown around like rice. Doesn't change the fact that when I was younger I didn't want to catch some rice, know what I'm saying? But now I am smarter then that.

I think that once you pass 40 on your way to 50, things get put into perspective a bit more.

WTH?!

So is it wrong that I recently told BW, who recently ended his first big relationship and thought he was getting married, etc....

Well I told him he should spend some time exploring girls and not look or get into another heavy relationship.

I told him I didn't mean to have one night stands but to def have some fun and keep it under wraps.

He's 20, he needs to have his heart broke at least a couple more times before he gets it right and before that, he needs to have a bit of consensual fun.

Am I a bad mother?

No, I think because you said that, that makes you an awesome mother. You're right! He should have some fun. He should have his heart broken a couple times and maybe break a few, himself. But if the next one feels perfect in every way he shouldn't ignore that either. You never know when the right one is going to come along...ya know? If he isn't ready it won't feel right.

Dang amy you sound like a mom.

and i agree with both of you. I'm saying he needs to be a player or anything but just dating with out it being all serious is a good thing to do. or even just hanging out with friends of the opposite sex is good too.

LOL! I don't think I sound like a mom, just someone who's been there and done that and has found the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with. And has no "what could have been?" or "what if?" thoughts because I lived, I dated, I got my heart broken and I broke a few, myself (not proud of that, by the way) and I had to go through all of that to realize the one for me was right there all along. All the dating I did also helped me to realize what I wanted and didn't want in my partner for life.

Nope. Of course, my mother was horrible, so I'm no expert on good mothers. I didn't get married until I was 28, or was it 29, well, I was older then all my other brothers who got married.

Of course, I know one couple where she was just 18 when they got married, and just had their 9th anniversary, so I guess you can be young and get married....

Naw, from what I know of you, Dawn, you would be a super mom. With a cape.
