no wonder you ladies want a guy to chase you.

If the police chase you, they put handcuffs on you if you're caught. Are you ladies hoping to be handcuffed?

The weather in central Illinois was bad from October until about early April. It even snowed here in mid April when I was on vacation. It's finally warmed up but even now it either storms or looks like its going to storm more days than not. This has been a brutal year.

So you're not really missing Minnesota?

I confess that I don't think I belong in this group any more. On Thursday, I upgraded from having a girlfriend to having a fiancee. I think I'll still stick around to look at the monthly funnies though.

I confess that I am doubly glad to leave for vacation this afternoon. Being away from work and seeing and experiencing new things is always a good thing. This time it is even better because my boss is retiring a few days after I return. Somehow he has coaxed all the ladies in the accounting division to alternate baking…

typical woman thing to say :laugh:

If you're boss isn't giving you suggestions on how to improve, you may point out that her criticisms aren't very helpful or constructive. Ask her to be specific about the complaints and for recommendations to correct the complaints. If she is vague in her responses, hold her accountable and do not let her off the hook.

I think this is a bad idea that will do absolutely nothing but confirm that you are a problem and do not take feedback well. I work in program evaluation and read surveys for design methodology on a regular basis. Based on your description of your methodology, I can almost certainly say your results are biased. I'll…

ADVICE FROM MEN: Dear Walter, I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road, when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home, I…

This is obviously written by a woman. No self-respecting man would need to do that much thinking about how long it's been since the last oil change. Hell there is a sticker on the windshield telling you the schedule for the mileage and date of the next one. He also wouldn't neglect a slipping transmission that long.

I confess that I screwed up my tax return by not taking my personal deduction. The IRS notified me that it amended the claim and deposited the corrected refund in my account this morning. The error resulted in a 40% larger refund. I used the unexpected money to pay off my car today. The remainder of the extra refund will…

me too. 2 hours 41 minutes remaining at work.

No ideas for what you should or should not eat on a first date but you should avoid White Castle's hamburgers for at least 2 days before the first date.

Congrats on getting away. Travel is fun. Are you taking the kids? If not, I'd suggest you do. It amazes me when I run into to childhood friends who never travel. They have such a narrow and isolated view of the world.

I don't think there is a norm. There are those who are late to everything and don't see it as an issue, there are those who are early or on time and see tardiness as the greatest disrespect ever, there are those who are sometimes late, sometimes early and just roll with it.

I've never been stood up or stood anyone up. Somewhere around age 20, I was on a first date with a gal. She told me how a guy she was on a date with went to the bathroom and never came back. I couldn't imagine anyone doing such a thing. Two dates later, she was so annoying and offensive that I debated doing it myself.

I confess I never want to go back to Arkansas. My gf ran a half marathon in Little Rock Sunday. The city wasn't much fun before the weather turned bad but once the ice storm hit, it just sucked. It took 7.5 hours to drive 115 miles on Monday. We got a hotel room in West Memphis Ark that night. It was one of the last ones…

This weekend is just laying around relaxing and maybe going to the gym once or twice. I got back from vacation last Sunday and then spent Monday and Tuesday driving to/from and attending a funeral. Wednesday through today I have been trying to catch up at work. I am mentally and physically exhausted.

$738.36 on finding a relationship is child's play compared to what you'll pay after you find it. I just went to Walt Disney World with my girlfriend. I am pretty sure I spent more than that last week. She probably did too.

It's Valentine's Day. I'm not buying anything that gives my gf the impression it's okay for her to be wearing underwear.

I interpreted that as two separate and distinct questions. The first is what do you envision a hot woman driving. The answer being a luxury sports car. Obviously you envision that because these extremely hot women have used their looks to find a wealthy man or at least a faux wealthy man who is willing to pay the price to…

I hope my post above does not come off as accusatory. I am wondering if you are presenting yourself poorly or saying something that is turning off these women. Giving a sample may help provide insights. This group has been helpful for others in the past.

Dave in Springfield, IL. No snow ...yet but I'm sitting in my office trying to get my space heater to work while enjoying the 45 degree drop in temperature since yesterday.

I'm really wondering what your profile says that it gets so little response. More curious though is what you could possibly be saying in your messages that motivates these women to block you. Most will just ignore you if they are not interested.

You must have missed the sentence right before the one you quoted.

Do you guys mind posting your profile? I'm about 300 pounds and live in an area where there are only about 50-60 total women within 6 years of my age and 30 miles of my town that are active on the dating sites at any time. Before I met my girlfriend, I was going on 1 or 2 dates a week. Very few were Barbie dolls but none…

Waldo took it. You find Waldo and you'll find your mojo. Why else would "Where's Waldo?" be so popular?

This mindset doesn't really make sense to me. I imagine you've been overweight to obese for a long time too. Yet you are here trying to lose weight. If you followed the above reasoning, wouldn't you just say, my body has looked like it does for so long that it's the only thing I know. I doubt it will ever change but life…

Maybe you should get a job as an exterminator. You'll be grateful on a daily basis.
