Do you have a crush on anyone here on this board?? Not yet.
Do you have a crush on anyone in real life?? Nope.0 -
OK, I said it was my last post on Ayn Rand, but I just saw this... Obama was asked recently about Paul Ryan's obsession with Rand. Here is the exchange:Q: What do you think Paul Ryan’s obsession with her work would mean if he were vice president?
Obama: Well, you’d have to ask Paul Ryan what that means to him. Ayn Rand is one of those things that a lot of us, when we were 17 or 18 and feeling misunderstood, we’d pick up. Then, as we get older, we realize that a world in which we’re only thinking about ourselves and not thinking about anybody else … that’s a pretty narrow vision. It’s not one that, I think, describes what’s best in America. Unfortunately, it does seem as if sometimes that vision of a “you’re on your own” society has consumed a big chunk of the Republican Party

Now I really promise: no more posts on Rand! ;-)
Because obviously I live my life based on what Obama says, hahaha! You've missed a very important part of making a point: Know your audience
. In my opinion neither of those guys are people I would vote for, I fight the false dichotomy of a two party system. 0 -
Um...yeah. (blushing.) I like this friend of mine. He is tall, FIT, and really smart. The coolest thing about him is that he doesn't even know he is great. He has had a hard life, but made the choice to better himself. Yeah, it would be great if he noticed me after I lost the weight, but I can't do this for him. This is for me.0

I just found out about the Single Peeps group today, but have been on MFP for about a month, so....
No crushes within the Singles Group specifically, but maybe one in MFP.....more of a respect/admiration thing. But, distance is always the killer.
In real life... I had an awesome date with a wonderful man yesterday, but I think the timing is off. He lost his wife earlier this year and I'm getting the vibe that he's not ready yet. So...I am completely crushing on him because he's an awesome catch, but somehow I feel like he's absolutely unattainable at this point.0 -
I've had several crushes on this board and through MFP... and several guys appear to have crushed on me til they got to know my personality... I’ve got a great boyfriend but there’s still a guy here whose argument and writing just makes me swoon.
A couple things I experienced were that a) often times people here don't actually meet you in person. They carry one "MFP romances" that go nowhere, and once you make it possible for the romance to be “real” they poof… and b) people are rarely in person the same personality you fall in love with online (but some ARE as hot!!)0 -
That should have been "carry on MFP romances that go nowhere" lol0
-
no crushes here or IRL. my fictional crush is Dean Wincester from Supernatural0
-
No crushes here... I live too far away from anyone. And my English is not good enough to be crushed on.
But I like to read here...
Crushes in RL... not really.... there is a guy I chat with... or a guy I was in love with when I was 20... and now I heard that he is single again... but both is very close to fiction
I feel that this is a point I have to work on....0 -
Ugh. I have a major crush on someone IRL that I should have gotten over a year ago. He is such an unbelievably awesome man, but he has major insecurity issues, and unfortunately, so do I. I'm starting to think I'm going to be single forever :sad:

Ive been romancing my MFP love story for almost 5 months... seen each other twice already and will be a 3rd time a Christmas, not bad for 2 people that live 10,000kms away from each other... and I hear people *****ing about someone who lives at the side of town! Get over it :laugh:0 -

Glad it's working for you... not sure why you felt the need to quote my post in order to tell us it's working for you. The fact that it's working for you does not negate the plethora of PMs I get from ladies (and two guys)who thought their MFP crush really liked her until she tried to meet him in person. I have way more MFP friends who leave and either never come back or create a whole new profile due to some MFP crush they thought really liked them but never had any intention of going the distance.
Still, glad yours is working out and hope it continues to do so. The original moderators of Single Peeps are still going strong too, so there’s definitely precedent. ;-)0 -

You're a great catch and you just need to remind yourself of that! :flowerforyou:0 -
Hmm, I haven't had IRL crush for couple years. And none here. Yet 0

--P, I believe we would make great friends and enemies, lol.
We wouldn't be enemies. I like to argue, but face to face, I'm surprisingly pleasant. ;-)

Both of these men....I adore!
As well as a couple IRL....but they cause me headaches....lol
oh and I'm not ashamed to say Anna is my girl crush on here! She is one awesome lady!!0 -
Do you have a crush on anyone here on this board??
On MFP - yes
But i will do absolutly nothing about it haha!
Do you have a crush on anyone in real life??
Yes, now if they would stop bailing out on me at the last minute...smh...0 -
I'm jealous, I never get PMed or anything!The fact that it's working for you does not negate the plethora of PMs I get from ladies (and two guys) who thought their MFP crush really liked her until she tried to meet him in person.
I feel like I'm missing out on so much of the action that is happening behind the scenes... :laugh:
Strange... why would people do that? They could just ignore the other person... No?I have way more MFP friends who leave and either never come back or create a whole new profile due to some MFP crush they thought really liked them but never had any intention of going the distance.
Also, it's a nice ego boost I guess to be "crushed on" but not everyone wants to "realise" (i.e. make real) those crushes all the time. Everyone wants to be loved
Yep, loneliness and love definitely make people go mental and do crazy things...0 -
You'd be ashamed of that if you had met her... :laugh:oh and I'm not ashamed to say Anna is my girl crush on here! She is one awesome lady!!
I kid, I kiiiiid!!!!!!!!! She's alright in ma' book! 0 -

Oh good!!! I'll take your word for it!0 -
I do have an MFP crush on here, but I am too far away to do anything and I am very shy in starting a conversation. Do not mind the distance at all, since I had a LDR before.
I don't have in RL crushes.0 -

Awww thanks, PJ!!!
Btw, I'm starting to think that the fact that my literary crushes are Starbuck from Moby **** and Prince Andrei from War and Peace have a lot more to do with me being single than anything else :laugh:
OMG -- edited to add that I think it's hilarious that mfp censored literature!!!!0 -

Me too! If you can make it over to the UK, I'm sure we could find you a Prince Andrei, though...I've got an invitation to a Cossack Ball lurking somewhere around!0 -
Hank Rearden from Atlas Shrugged (this is a big one)
One of my favorite books
It's my #1, I aspire to be Dagny Taggart in spirit.
Terrible prose and terrible philosophy. As my friend's mother told her when she started to quote Atlas Schrugged at 18, "Everyone goes through an Ayn Rand phase, but shouldn't you have grown out of it by now?" Eventually she did.
Loved it that Ayn Rand needed social security and Mediare to survive, after slagging off on government programs (for "moochers"!) her entire life. Such a terrible hypocrite. Not surprising that this is the faux philosophy driving the extreme right in the US (old folks on Medicare love her, I suppose).
Not going to get into her watered down Nietzschean philosophy, as that is also so terrible as to be laughable. Sorry, but "a little learning is a dangerous thing" comes to mind every time someone mentions Ayn Rand. And yes, I say that as someone who loved Atlas Shrugged when I was 25. Again, it's a phase, like wearing black, or a goatee.
