    Speaking of love, my parents' friends turned up uninvited and the lady is like "have you got a girlfriend yet?" "not good, you're nearly 40" 
    Gosh I hate immigrant south eastern Europeans. 
    Now my mum is at me (indirectly via conversations with my dad) as her friend's son has a girlfriend and I don't and how it makes my parents look bad and how people will talk how shit my family situation is.
    P.S. I'll say it again, I hate immigrant south eastern Europeans.
    When I was 20 I said "no marriage, no kids".

    I'm 42 now and I've stuck to my guns, lol.  Not to say that I might change my mind but I'm in no rush.
    I don't think I want kids.
    Can't picture myself as a father.
    I have never been good with kids.
    No patience. 
    World is overpopulated anyways and it's not a world I want my child to live in.
    Same here. I’m barely able to take care of myself. If I had to be financially responsible for someone else, I’d be totally fucked and so would the kid. Let alone all the teaching, mentoring, protecting, etc. I couldn’t handle it. And I’ll be damned if I’d want to raise a kid in this world anyway.  Between me and society as a whole, the poor kid wouldn’t stand a snowballs chance in hell.

    Cheating is never acceptable in my opinion. There is no actual need to.
    If everyone was honest why cheat.
    If you have had enough in a marriage or relationship then stop or end it. Have respect.
    From experience i sought councilling,tried to communicate.
    When that wasn't happening even though i had 3 children,the honest thing was to separate after 25 years. Then and only then i met somebody else. Truth prevails. No need for devious behaviour

    How can I be a fit dad if I can't sort myself out in terms of my own demons.

    I have no desire whatsoever to have children. However, I don't mind practicing how to make them should I ever change my mind.

    I really prefer that they just be breathing and willing. :blush: Hahahaha
    When in college I had two basic rules for the end of the night rounds.
    1)  Weighed less than I did
    2)  Were willing participants


    I have a feeling you were pretty lax on the first rule. Just a hunch.

    I should note that heels are a plus....not a requirement. 


    :rofl:
    I may have had to be 'top dog' a small number of times.  #1 was a rule to stick to but not to live by.  (#2 was the must.  Anything beyond that was fair game at that age as long as the booze was flowing)

    I just want to find someone near me-- who enjoys the same music- even as pals- just so when I have my mp3's playing in the car, I don't have to hear, "That band again??" or "don't you listen to stuff that isn't from seattle?" I do, I listen to Dhani Harrison, PJ Harvey, Glen Hansard, The Temptations and a BUNCH of Motown, Fugazi.... it's just I  have been to a lot of shows, and my music is filled with concerts I've been to. I mean, jezuscrimminy, I SING in a tribute to pj band! :) (you can stalk me on fb under ratmando)
    When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

    I don't know how I'd feel if I found out I shot blanks. Part of me would be ready to GET BUSY NOW!!!. The other part would think of all the "practicing" I did in a needlessly overly safe manner all of these years.

    I hooked up with a 27 year old bartender the other night. Was a little surprising but a long time coming.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I would guess she doesnt know too much about them, just the basics. It really isnt a necessity for me at all.

    Only one of the lucky ladies has a child, and it definitely isn't mine.  Unless my little guys survived in there for 3 months.
