<title>Scared Of Rejection?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=75861</link>
<pubDate>18-NOV-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
&lt;p&gt;Wanted to bring up topic?that I come across in the dating scene quite a lot ....Rejection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So we are here on a dating site wanting to meet someone but for many their biggest fears are that of being rejected when they do meet someone.? I have heard from some that they wont even meet someone till they have had months of talking and have established a connection for the fear of being rejected before the person has gotten to know them.? Though of course this can still happen because attraction is far more than the connection you can make chatting on here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So is a rejection something personal, that makes one lesser in some way, not worthy?? Do we get down on ourselves so much that it actually stops us from being who we are?? I know when I first started online dating it was a big issue for me.??I had my fair share of rejection and did take it personally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now I know that rejection is not that of me personally.? It may be that our personalities dont match but someone else will find me fabulous.? They may not be attracted to my body, but have had others drool?over it.? lol? It may be that our goals are different and creating a future just wont work easy.??It can be so any different things sometimes nothing to do with?me at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want everyone to remember that rejection is not a rejection of you just a rejection of what sort of relationship the other person sees could be created with you and that does in no way may less of you.??We all are in different places and have different needs, and not everyone is right for each other, but yet is fabulous in their own way.? Thanks for letting me share this.? ;)&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Another Word For Fat?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=75841</link>
<pubDate>17-NOV-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
&lt;p&gt;Hi there all in blog land, I was reading some other blogs and thought that we all?would have terms for Big Beautiful Women in our parts of the world that are acceptable to use but not all would be the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here in Australia I think we use the term BBW, Larger or Bigger.? Think that the word fat would be considered offensive as would thick or fluffy as babycakes has mentioned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do you personally like to be called and what do you find offensive?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What about your part of the world?? How about everyone that reads this, adds to it, an international poll.? :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Pheromones And Attraction</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=75241</link>
<pubDate>25-OCT-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
I had a date recently and we got interesting discussion on the effect of pheromones in sexual attraction.  

Why are we sometimes instantly sexually attacted to someone, even though they may not be what one considers good looking or even right for you?

Do phermones play a part in what we now call chemistry between two people that is out of our control, more a chemistry type of thing.

I know that certain scents can turn me on and lucky the man that is wearing them lol, I used to have a perfume that I would wear that would get me excited and feel more desirable.  Now this may sound nuts but it did, sadly it is not been made anymore. :(

Can dating be just a thing of finding that person with enough good qulities and the right body odour? :)

<title>Has Adonis Slipped Through My Fingers?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=74783</link>
<pubDate>14-OCT-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Ok had a date earlier this week.  Met him on another site that promotes compatability and valies matching.  We matched in many ways and got on real well in emails and I liked him , but had not even seen his pic at that stage (he had seen mine).

We met at a night club, and I though my knees would buckle. My Adonis had walked in the door.  grins

Well we chatted and had a few drinks, played pool and enjoyed each others company for 3 hours at which time he left. Now during this time I sensed that there was some interest but his body language kept changing, sometimes showing interest other times just being friendly. 

Overall I felt that there was chemistry, but I cant be sure if that was just coming from my side?  Though I would have thought he would have got out of there earlier if there was not something that interested him to stay?

It ended with a had a gret time it was nice meeting you, but no mention of any further contact.  Now it had been 4 days and I have not heard from him.

Ok sorry, here is my question.  lol

If he was interested would he have made contact by now?  Do men really follow some 4 or 5 day rule about not contacting women?  

Should I contact him and tell him that I had a great time or just wait for him to make his move? If he is planning to make a move at all? Either way I would like to be friends with him.

<description><![CDATA[
So Im sure that most of us have come across the following saying before:

Women use sex to get a relationship.
Men use a realtionship to get sex.

Now is this saying true?  What have you found in the real world out there? Are we really so different?

<title>The Difference Between Truth And Reality?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=73661</link>
<pubDate>14-SEP-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
This blog is about a comment that Azureblue posted on another one of my blogs that I feel deserves to have its own place for discussion.

I do believe that what we percieve to be real is our reality and our truth.

If we decide that the day is wonderful and we are feeling great, well it is.  No one else can shake that unless we let them.

If we have been hurt in love and feel that all relationshiops or men/women are bad, well that is true to us.  This becomes our reality, and so becomes our Truth.

I have seen many people lost and stuck in their own world of truth and reality and it is not until they choose to change how they see things can they change.

I have a girl friend who I love dearly, and to her all realtionships are just too much work, not worth the bother.  Yet she also in a way would like to have a man in her life.

Every time we discuss this and look at ways to get her out and meeting people she reverts back to her thinking, and pulls out to its all too hard. This is her world, her truth and reality.

We all have our own truth and reality that we create from our viewpoints, expieriences and decisions. 

How good my life is .... is only due to what I have created within the framework of my mind and what I believe.

Just my 50cents worth ... to coin Nat's phrase :)


**************************

Hi oz,
I have been reading what some of the great minds in history have to say about reality. Plato said the following:


Plato on Truth and Reality

And isn't it a bad thing to be deceived about the truth, and a good thing to know what the truth is? For I assume that by knowing the truth you mean knowing things as they really are. (Plato, 380BC)

The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge. (Plato, 380BC)

Truthfulness. He will never willingly tolerate an untruth, but will hate it as much as he loves truth... And is there anything more closely connected with wisdom than truth? (Plato, 380BC)

Then may we not fairly plead in reply that our true lover of knowledge naturally strives for truth, and is not content with common opinion, but soars with undimmed and unwearied passion till he grasps the essential nature of things with the mental faculty fitted to do so, that is, with the faculty which is akin to reality, and which approaches and unites with it, and begets intelligence and truth as children, and is only released from travail when it has thus reached knowledge and true life and satisfaction? (Plato, 380BC)

What is at issue is the conversion of the mind from the twilight of error to the truth, that climb up into the real world which we shall call true philosophy. (Plato, 380BC)

The object of knowledge is what exists and its function to know about reality. (Plato, 380BC)

And those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself deserve the title of Philosophers. (Plato, 380BC)

When the mind's eye rests on objects illuminated by truth and reality, it understands and comprehends them, and functions intelligently; but when it turns to the twilight world of change and decay, it can only form opinions, its vision is confused and its beliefs shifting, and it seems to lack intelligence. (Plato, 380BC)

'But surely &quot;blind&quot; is just how you would describe men who have no true knowledge of reality, and no clear standard in their mind to refer to, as a painter refers to his model, and which they can study closely before they start laying down rules about what is fair or right or good where they are needed, or maintaining, as Guardians, any rules that already exist.' 
'Yes, blind is just about what they are' (Plato, 380BC)

One trait in the philosopher's character we can assume is his love of the knowledge that reveals eternal reality, the realm unaffected by change and decay. He is in love with the whole of that reality, and will not willingly be deprived even of the most insignificant fragment of it - just like the lovers and men of ambition we described earlier on. (Plato, 380BC)

I have been reading a lot on this subject, in a desire to understand it. I agree with the experts of old and this is kinda what I get from all I've read.

Reality is based on the physical and tangible. The universe exist in reality, following laws of physics, a tangible reality. We as humans have opinions. They are opinions, not realities, except perhaps in our minds. Any civilization that in history has went against the age old concepts of reality, ie, truth....has fallen. Opinions will come and go, changing with time and knowledge, but the reality of truth, will continue.

Heres another interesting quote from cuurent times.

'Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another'.
When we deduce this most Simple Science Theory of Reality we find that there is only one possible solution: Space must be the substance which exists and matter is formed from waves in Space. The electron is a spherical standing wave in Space.I.e. While there are many minds and material things, they all exist in one common Space (just look around you and think about it). We can then show that the Wave Structure of Matter is the correct solution as it deduces the fundamentals of Physics & Philosophy perfectly (there are no opinions).
I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality on the Internet, but this solution is the most simple one and it is obvious once known (though it takes time for our minds to adjust to new knowledge).
Just food for thought!

<title>Can  Passion Be Learned?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=73581</link>
<pubDate>12-SEP-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
While responding to another blog this question came to mind.

Can you teach someone to be passionate if they are not that way with you from the beginning? Now Im talking about sexually here, as people can be passionate for other things as well.


Some definitions of passion on the web are:
passion - heat: the trait of being intensely emotional 
passion - rage: something that is desired intensely; 
passion - mania: an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action 
passion - a feeling of strong sexual desire 
passion - love: any object of warm affection or devotion;

  
I have heard many times stories of break ups where one of the main factors has been miss matched libido or lack of similar tastes or interest in this arena.

Is paasion about finding that person that brings that part out in you, or if you are passionate are you that way with any partner that you like?

<title>Open Relationships - Do they work?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=73561</link>
<pubDate>11-SEP-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Hey to all in lovely blog land thought I would put up a topic that may have some varied viewpoints, love to look at things from other peoples views so please give me your thoughts. :)

Ok was dating someone recently who told me that he liked an open relationship or what can be termed swinging.

Now this clever, articulate and professional man made some interesting points while he was discussing his views and prefences.

His ideal relationship was where both parties were open to adding new partners into their sexual activity, ideally long term play friends where a friendship was also established.  

Now this was only ever done together as a couple and if one did not want to then it was called off.

His views were that this eleminated jealousy and cheating in a relationship and actually fostered more caring and confidence as comunicatin was open and honest.  Nothing to hide.

So can this really work?  Do you know of anyone that has a successful open relationship?

<title>Do Women Want Too Much?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=73501</link>
<pubDate>10-SEP-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
I came across the following joke email that made me laugh but also got me wondering as to how much like us it really was?

*************
The Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has opened in :City New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: 
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! 
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: 

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.. 
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads: 

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. 
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' 

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads: 

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. 
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. 

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: 

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' 

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: 

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak. 
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads: 

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. 
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. 

PLEASE NOTE: 
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street. 

The first floor has wives that love sex. 

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer. 

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited. 
***************

So do we women really expect too much?  Are we looking for the perfect man? Are we unreasonable in this?

What about the men do they expect too much too?  I really cant believe that it is this simplistic for men and how they choose their women?

<title>How your weight affects your choice in men?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=70781</link>
<pubDate>01-JUN-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Hi to all you lovley people, it feels like I have been away a long time and do have to say that I have missed you all. :)

I have been reading recent blogs on body image and how this may or may not define you and it brought up something I wanted to throw out there.

When I look at most of my previous relationships in an attempt to understand them, understand myself and maybe future ones as well, I have looked at the fact that I had a limited selection of men to choose from.

What I mean here is that due to my being what I consider beyond ample size I feel that the amount of men that are available to choose from are far less than someone that may be of average size.  Now I dont know if this is true or not, just something I feel.

Even now, when I go out to a club the percentage of men that may be interested in a larger woman I would say are something like 1% certainly not more than 3%.

That does not allow for much selection, so how I am I meant to find that man that is perfect for me?

I wonder about my previous relationships and if I got into them because they were available, more so than because they were right?

I do know that a couple of them were with men that liked BBW's but this was more due their own issues and insecurities and this would show up as fear of my wanting to or attempting to lose weight.

At one point I decided to that I would not date while I was still big and would wait till I had lost my weight and had a better selection to choose from, but dont know how wise that is considering I have been like this for more than 30 years? Argggh!

I am still in the process of understanding how my weight has defined my choice in men and if this is my personal issue or something that is real and out there?

What do you think?  Has your weight affected who you have chosen to partner with?  Do you feel that you had enough options or have you had to pick the best from what was available rather than what you really wanted?

If you were your ideal body weight would you be going out with men that are different to the type you may be going out with now?

<title>No Free Week For Blogs???</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=73041</link>
<pubDate>18-AUG-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Hi all I just noticed that they have removed the free week earned for 10 comments on your blog????

I must be slow .. when did this happen?

They have replaced it with getting a free month for a published article!!  Now not too bad an idea if you can see what is written there in the articles, got to admit us ladies do like to read such stuff BUT you cant read them unless you are a member !!!

Think its a bad move to lose the free week for the blogs, most of us that blog are women, and dont or will not pay for memberships anyway.  

Lose the women from the site and you have nothing!!!

<title>Why  &quot;No Thanks&quot; Responses  Available ??????</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=72681</link>
<pubDate>26-JUL-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
OK there comes a time when what I have to ask What Are They Thinking????

Received a couple of winks recently (thank you) and went to respond to them when I found that that is NO WAY to respond unless with a &quot;yes&quot; type of response.

Now this really pissed me off!!!!!   I like to respond in some fashion to all winks, even if its to say &quot;thanks but not thanks&quot; and hate the silent no answer thing. 

Though now it appears that Large Friends dont give us the opportunity to have good manners unless we are saying we are interested or are paid members !!!!

Also noticed that we still dont have spell check on the main message of the blog, but it is available for the blog title????

Do wonder if who ever is making these changes have given any thought at all about what the user here wants? Things that will make people want to come back to the site !!!!!

I would love to create my own dating site but would miss the friends I have made here too much. Though still may do it anyway?  Maybe a totally free BBW dating site????  

Anyway to those that have sent me winks and I have not responded, thank you but I am sorry it just means that for whatever reason I dont think we are a match and can not tell you this through a wink.  xx

<title>The right time to discuss being exclusive?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=71021</link>
<pubDate>08-JUN-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
I tried to search this topic to see if it has been done before, but on these blogs thats nearly impossible to do.  So here it is, sorry in advance if it has been covered already.

When is the right time to discuss commitment or being exclusive with a man that you have been dating?

I was talking about this with a male friend the other day and his answer was ... 6 months!!

Now call me fast or stupid, not sure which one, maybe both, but that seemed to be a long time?

Now maybe I have always been fast going in my relationships but I dont think I have ever been dating, seeing someone weekly, which had progressed into a physical relationship and then waited 6 months to discuss being exclusive.

At what point in the relationship have you discussed this?  Are women more keen to discuss this than men?  Do men get scared off if this topic is brought up too early?

<title>How Important Is Great Sex In A Relationship?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=70981</link>
<pubDate>07-JUN-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Recently I have been thinking about men and the choices we make in picking our partners.

Personally I seem to want it all, that perfect relationship that is full of communication, laughter, honesty, respect and great sex.  What most of us are after ...right?

Though I do wonder at how real this expectation is?  

Having a great sexual relationship is a big thing for me ..well I hope its big ..ha ha. 

I have had the relationship where I have had other elements that I have wanted in a partner but the sexual side has been satisfying though at the same time somewhat lacking.

Of course I have also had the &quot;take your breath away&quot; relationnships where the lacking appeared outside the bedroom.

If you have a partner that is great on all the other attributes but only rates as &quot;good&quot; though not &quot;great&quot; in the sexual attibutes ... is that good enough?

What about that partner that is &quot;great&quot; sexually and turns your world upside down each time, but is only &quot;good&quot; in other areas?

Which would you choose?  

Will taking either choice have you yearning for that thing that you dont have in the realtionships?

How much of a compromise do we make here?

Is it too much to expect to be able to have it all?

<title>Am I Being Prudish?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=69781</link>
<pubDate>01-MAY-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
I really need your opinions and experiences on this dilemma that I find myself in.

I have been seeing/dating a very nice man for a few weeks now.  We have spent quite a bit of time together both on the phone and in person and I suppose are starting to become a bit more serious with each other.

He is gentle, articulate, educated, witty, sensual, artistic, very attentive and cute in a bohemian sort of way. 

We got on well from the first day we spoke online and despite some differences I can not deny that we are good together. 

What else could I want right?

In the early days of getting to know each other he told me that he smoked dope, but at the time I thought he meant occasional recreational use.  It turns out that I assumed wrong.

He smokes a little bit every day, and from what I can tell has been doing so for many years.  Now I can say that he has never appeared stoned to me, even though I know he has smoked, just before and even while he was with me.  He is responsible with his money, kids and full time work and does not appear any different even after he has had a smoke.

Now it is not for me to say what is right for people, but I have been down that road and decided that it was not something I wanted or needed in my life.  I have not smoked in over 20 years and have no intention of doing so again.

I do have some friends that do smoke, and some that take other recreational drugs, but usually not when they are with me.

Now I find myself in not knowing what to do here?  Wondering if I am prudish in regards to this situation?  I dont feel I can nor want to ask him to stop, but do feel concerned about progressing this relationship along.

I have smeared the boundaries in allowing him to smoke while with me, at first not realising, as he smokes home made cigarettes, but even after I knew, just thinking this was one of those occasional times.

Having had one long term relationship with a binge drinker who slowly changed as his drinking increased, I guess it really has me concerned. 

How should I tackle this when I talk to him about it?  

Can some people smoke long term without it really affecting them, mentally or emotionally?  

Should I take this as a sign of him not being able to cope with life?  

Is this relationship doomed or am I just being prudish?

<title>Why Offer Me Sex?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=68701</link>
<pubDate>20-MAR-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Hey to all you lovely peoole in blog land.? Wanted to throw out some thoughts on something I cant get my thinking around about some of the guys out there.? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Now I believe that a woman can get sex any time she wants, she holds the power in this, and if she in not all that fussy,?sex is available to her at her will.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Ok hope you agree and are with me so far?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;So have to wonder why some men think that offering me sex will entice and interest me?? I think I am quite clear about this in my profile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Even after I have?told them that I am not looking for this and have this available at hand if I wanted,?it still does not stop them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;It feels a bit like offering a person that lives on an island a trip to the beach.? lol?? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Do they have nothing else to offer?? Do they lack personality?? Or do they just think?that I?am desperate for it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;What do you guys and girls think?? Is this a basic nature of the beast? lol?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Though in saying this are we women the opposite, do we offer?friendship, relationships and love, and discount the things that they cant get enough of?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;P.S.? Watch how fast the &quot;views&quot; count moves because I have the word &quot;sex&quot; in the title ..... interesting. ? he he he&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>So when is big just TOO BIG ?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=67881</link>
<pubDate>27-FEB-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Now I know that I can really appreciate and have a preference for certain sizing of particular body parts, but when is big just too big.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;I have been speaking to a really hot looking man, articulate, witty and successul, that has been having trouble with finding women to stay with him.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Upon pushing him to clarify this as I could not see why this man was single and why women would not stick to like honey, he eventually disclosed his little problem. lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Well this man has a certain organ that measures 12.5 inches or 31.8 cm !!!  Omg, yes i asked him to prove it,seen the pics.  How could I resist?  LOL  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;He finds that women just run away from him and his search is for that woman that could take him without him holding back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Now that made me wonder if this is even at all possible?  Being challenged size wise the other way can be worked around by varying positons and angle, well in most cases, lol , but is there a way to be able to accomidate more when there is no where left to go.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;I know i have an idea preference which is actually within what would be considered average, or maybe a bit above. lol, what about you girls, would you run from something like this, or run to it. he he he&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Now I know what you may be thinking ..... and your right lol  I would love to get to know him better but not ready to jump on the horse without knowing we are going to enjoy the ride. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Why be a fake?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=67901</link>
<pubDate>27-FEB-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Hi to all you wonderful people in blogland, I have not been on much recently as i have been busy with life and been a very lucky girl and had quite a few dates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Am a memeber on some other sites and perhaps because I was the new girl on the block, got quite a few responses, some that i have been rather interested in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Ok so you all know the drill you talk get to know them and if you are lucky one day you meet.  All good not too hard to think with and should be so simple. Right? ..... NOT   lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;I am starting to lose count of the amount of men that have twisted the truth to suit the situation, told part of the truth, or half the picture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;One man I really liked said he had broke up with his ex about 5 months before, truth came out after we were dating for a couple of weeks and she called him to say she wanted him back (he went). Turns out is was only 1 month before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Another said he was 5 ft 4, my height, which was not ideal but ok. We meet and he is not even as tall as me WITH his booster shoes on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Then there is the one that says he has a little bot belly, ok, we met and he was rounder than one of those exercise balls you can sit on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;To top it off another one that was was taking it up big how he wants good conversationa and that connection with a person and he would take that above just having sex with someone he does not like or connect with.  Great, we establish that there is a connection, and agree to meet.  He then cancels on me last minute because he got an offer from a woman for sex, that he already admited to me that he did not even like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Ok had my rant here, lol, but I do wonder why bother???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Granted we all want to show our best side.  I do too. I have what i consider is a nice pic here for example, but i do tell the men that this is one of those special pics that shows me in my best light and that i look different in real life, and I also have pics that show me looking different too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;If we re really out here to meet someone that may become special, why do we need to push the truth , or lie?  Surely the end result is not good if you are deceiving someone, how ever slight this may be?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; color: #800000;&quot;&gt;I am sure that women are all too guilty of this as well, and I guess I wont always disclose everything about me straight off, but would and do if I was asked.  Want some one who is into me for me and all that i really am. otherwise why bother?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Second time around?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=65001</link>
<pubDate>27-NOV-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
OK all you lovely bloggers really want your opinion here.

I was dating a really nice man over 12 months ago for about 2 months, who at the time said that he did not want a relationship with me, so we ended and moved on.  Stayed friends though.

Now he wants to try again. He says that now he can trust me and open up to me, which is something he would not do before.

I think of him as a friend now, though back then would have liked to try for more.

So can we go back, can what is now looked upon as a friendship be made into something more?

Has anyone been in this type of situation before?  What happened, did it work out?

<title>Is Dating An Investment?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=66601</link>
<pubDate>15-JAN-09</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
I was having a chat with a friend from here last week and we got into a really deep conversation about relationships.

He made one comment that I wanted to put here to get your thoughts on. 

He felt that women considered dating and relationships as an investment and expected a return or payout from the man. (tell me if I got this wrong xx)

Do you consider the time you take to get to know someone or date someone as an investment?

If you do, then do you expect a return for your investment?  

What type of return or payoff would that be?

<title>Sex and Double Standards</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=65381</link>
<pubDate>14-DEC-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;I was talking to a male friend the other night and he was telling me that he was seeing a woman on a casual basis for over a month now.  He would see her regularly and enjoyed the intellectual, emotional and physical side of this relationship/friendship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 4pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;All good, till he said that he was still looking for a woman to have a relationship with as she was ?not his type of woman?.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 4pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;Upon further questioning he told me that she had allowed him to pick her up at a bar and had slept with him the first night.  Thus making her disqualified as suitable relationship material.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;After I thumped him one, lol, we discussed this as I could not believe that he would think like this.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Though he did agree that it was double standards, this is how he felt, that he did not want a relationship with someone he considered promiscuous.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;Do we as women still face these double standards?&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;Men are not only allowed but encouraged to crow louder than a rooster in regards to their sexual conquests and have the freedom to express their sexual needs, while women are down graded and demoralized for doing the same.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;On asking my friend when he would thought it was right for her to have got sexual with him, he could not answer anything definite, said when it felt right, maybe on the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; or 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; date.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;Does it make a woman promiscuous if she knows what she wants and sleeps with a man on the first date?&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Or can a woman who just holds out for the 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; date, and then has sex, maintain her appearance of morality?&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;What if she was doing this 2 or 3 times a month?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;What would happen if woman used this as a judge of character on men, and disqualified all men that agreed to sleep with them as not suitable partner material?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

<title>Sit On Santa;s Knee</title>

<pubDate>14-DEC-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small; color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;OK so we are in the silly season with most of us rushing around like crazy getting ready for Santa to arrive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small; color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;Yesterday my six year old asked me what I wanted for Santa to bring me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small; color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;Well I had to stop and think what I really wanted just for me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small; color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;Its been quite a while since Santa came to visit me. I must have been a naughty girl. LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small; color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;I really had to think what is it that I would ask from Santa that would just be for me, something that would make me happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small; color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;So come on and sit on Santa's knee, and tell us what would you ask for this year, that is just for you to make you happy? :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Typical Behavior?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=65221</link>
<pubDate>05-DEC-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In recent times I have had it mentioned to me that being a natural red head and being &quot;fiery&quot; that I must have a bad temper.

Seems its stereotyped like the &quot;dumb blonde&quot; (sorry) comments we have often heard.

Now when faced with this sort of &quot;expert&quot; knowledge how does one defend oneself?

I personally think I'm one of the most even tempered people I know.  If I do get angry I will go quite till I have calmed down and then I will want to talk about it, calmly. I'm not one for screaming scathing fights, despite how good they say the make up sex is. LOL

So do we really have preconceived ideas about other peoples behavior according to their physical appearance?  What do you think?  Is there a basis of truth to them?

<title>Treat Them Mean Keep Them Keen?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=64141</link>
<pubDate>05-NOV-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
How many times before had I heard this comment being used mainly by men referring to how they treat their women.

The other day I heard a friend use this in regards to a women that he was interested in, and how he felt that she was treating him.

Got me thinking if this sort of behavior really works?  It brought forth a lot of questions. :)

Do we all,  men and women, like to have someone make it a challenge to get them?  Usually in the game of love there is one person that is chasing and the other letting them try to catch them.  

If you like to do the chasing, do you no longer desire or find someone exciting once you feel you have got them?

Honestly I find the idea so alien to me it seems like it playing games. If I like someone I want to let them know. 

What do you think?  Have you had the &quot;treat them mean keep them keen&quot; treatment done to you, and did you like it?  Is this playing games with someone? 

Is this about giving more attention to the one that is being &quot;mean&quot;, or is this about some sort of power play?

I just had to share this one with you. LOL

I just went to see who viewed me and right there as a main photo was a big black dong looking back at me!!

Well you could imagine my reaction to this..... YEP .....where is that magnifying glass....quick before LF's discovers it.  LOL 

My first thought, went to Ariesram. Well no, to be honest my second thoughts :) 

NO NO ...dirty minds...not for that reason, but because he could not even keep a baby photo up here, and here I could see ALL  in full techni color. 

Does this really work for you guys?  Do you get lots more responses from the women on here?

I know if a woman did this she would, but we do not think the same way as you do .... or do we?

Are we women stimulated but seeing the male naked flesh?  

Would a photo of great body parts influence you on whether you would want to know that person better?

Oh so do you want to see too??? 

Well I went back to get his user id, and damn he was gone.  Now I had thought I remembered his user name but do forgive me as I was somewhat distracted.  he he

<title>Just Not Ready For A Relationship</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=63801</link>
<pubDate>01-NOV-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
I was talking to two friends recently about relationships.  Now both of these said to me that they were just NOT READY to get involved with anyone.

Now of of these friends met a man 3 weeks ago and WHAM she now has totally changed.

They have even decided that they want to move in together as soon as they find something suitable.

Before this you could not even get her around the idea that she wanted to date anyone!!!

The other friend also says this, and he has good reasons, but I do wonder if he met the RIGHT person would this change for him too?

What do you all think?  Are we maybe only not ready until we find that special person that takes our heart?

If the person you are interested in is saying they are not ready, can you presume that YOU are not that person and move on?

<title>Do You Feel  You Know Me?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=63481</link>
<pubDate>28-OCT-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Hi all in wonderful blog land. Think you are all just fabulous. xx

Now I have been here a while and am up here with my thoughts and comments a bit....OK a LOT. lol
 
So I was wondering today, do you feel that you know me?
  
Do you feel that maybe as a blogger any of us are somewhat more than strangers because you get to read our thoughts and feelings?

Can you see changes in our words or behaviors, just as you would see a friends?

I have to say that I just love blogging (thank you all for putting up with me xx)

I have resolved many things and questions that may have been bothering me.  In some ways it has been like mini therapy. LOL

Have any others found this too?

<title>Good Conversation</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=63301</link>
<pubDate>25-OCT-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Every now and again I get someone that has initiated a chat with me on here or on messenger.

Well the chat starts of with how are you which I answer and ask them the same back, so far so good. hey?

Well this is where the conversation then stops, from the other side.  Now i wait for the the next message and nothing comes.  OK, maybe they are just nervous or something? So I then ask them another question. 

Well after doing this about 5 times and only having them respond to my questions (usually only one liners) and not say anything else, I wonder what the hell I'm doing here?  lol

They asked to speak to ME, yet I am the one that is making the conversation.

It is not THAT HARD to make conversation! 
 
Just ask questions and share a bit about yourself so the other person finds it easier to ask a questions back!!!!

Is this rocket science?  LOL

(Now want to say here that this is just some people. Most are pretty good and I enjoy their chats very much)xxx

You really flatter someone when you want to know abut them and the only way to do this is to ask questions.

Really did wonder why did they call me? If they called me to have me ask about them...

Well as the saying goes....dont call me I'll call you. 

Does any body else have this happen to them?  How do you handle it?

Am I being too harsh here? :)

<description><![CDATA[
OK so some of you may hate me after this one, please make sure the tomatoes are really rotten before throwing.  LOL
Well I have been on here for a while and have had numerous chats in this time.  During some of these, discussions have turned to sexual preference.
Now invariable in nearly every instance I have been presented with the overwhelming insistence  that they absolutely love to give lots of or*l. 
Not only do they love it but they can and will do it for hours.
Now some of you are saying great what the problem??? lol
Well they just keep pushing this, like I should be so impressed by this.  That it will tip the scales on whether we should/will go further.
Also they continue even after I  tell them that this is NOT such a big issue for me, and that though I would not exclude it, there are other things that interest me more.
This got me wondering .... have men become rote with this response?  
Do they tell us this because they think that we want to hear it?  Does this increase their odds of getting lucky?
Now in reality ladies, how many men have you encountered that do love this that much?  How many will do it for more than 5 or 10 minutes?
To any men that are game enough to respond here. LOL  Do you really love it that much?  Or is this great pleasure only a response to what you think we women want from you?
I want to meet a man who is  truthful and responsive to me, not one running one set answers because they think it is what they are meant to say. 
We are all individuals and like different things, but at the moment I feel like I'm being put into a common pool, and getting  robotic responses. Is it just me? xxx

Ok you guessed it, yep I'm still home, and here to annoy you all. LOL
Had this conversation with a girlfriend who after getting intimate with her latest guy, was somewhat disappointed of his pen*s size as she had expected something different.
Now the reason she was expecting something much more substantial was because &quot;he has big hands&quot; lol
There are a lot of different stories as to what you should look out for, but do any of them really predict with any acuracy what you are likely to encouter when the pants fall down?

Your words oh so special make me smile ear to ear, for I know they are all, only for me to hear.

Your words caress me reaching places hidden so deep, which now rumble and wake stirring up from their sleep.

Your words made with magic, fairy tales can come true, are you my price charming that wants me wearing no shoes?

Your words that tease in that sensual manner make my body respond with the thoughts that do gather.

Your words lift me up make me feel I do no wrong, give me support and make me ever so strong.

Your words excite me make me feel decadent and divine, give me little sweet tingles all the way up my spine.

Your words demand that I am honest and open to view, for you want all of me to be up for review.

Your words thrill me and wash over me like the wave of a song, now I do wonder where you have been for so long?

Your words of beauty take my breath by surprise for I can see how I look from within your eyes.

Your words spoken so sweet and said with no fear, are capturing my heart, mending breaks that once would have brought me to tears.

Your word of such wonder make my heart yearn for more, keep going like this and I'll be yours that's for sure.

Music and songs can sometimes express what we are feeling so well that they seem to be singing about us or for us.
I get stuck on a particular song that at that time seems to express more of what I'm feeling.  Now when I say get stuck, I really mean this, want to listen to it all the time, just keep replaying it.  
Drives my kids crazy.  lol
Am I crazy or do you guys do this too?  
Right now I'm stuck on &quot;If That's Love&quot; - Laura Pausini.
I try listening to some of my other favorites but they are not hitting the right place I guess.
If you are like this what is your &quot;stuck&quot; song right now? :)

<title>Can we be friends?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=62461</link>
<pubDate>11-OCT-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Recent incidents and discussions  with friends and in the blogs  have made me ponder on this one.
Can a males and females really be &quot;friends&quot;?
I have heard it said before that underlying such a friendship was a desire from one of them, to have something more, something that they could not get, so they then took the only thing that was on offer.
Do we accept a &quot;friendship&quot; but secretly hope that it will turn into something more?  Can males and females truly be friends without hidden agenda's or expectations?
What do you guys think?  Do any of you have long term friends like this that you know for sure there was no other attraction at the start of the friendship?

<title>Falling In Love</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=62781</link>
<pubDate>17-OCT-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Something recently go me wondering about this thing we call love and the process of falling in love.
So how long really does it take for people to fall in love?  How do you know and not just infatuation or lust?
We hear about love at first sight, is this something that is real or some sort of chemical breakdown that occurs?  What it would create reactions of this nature?  If this happened to you would you trust that what you are feeling is real?
What about love in the first week, or the first month?  Is this classified as love at first sight?  Surely you have not gotten to know each other well enough to make that sort of decision/connection?
Then you hear of people falling in love after 6 months or even years?
So I question, is there any difference between love in the very early days or love that takes months or years to develop?
Is anything that takes less than say 6 months to develop, not real, maybe lust or fantasy?

<description><![CDATA[
Hi all you wonderful people in blog land, really do love your insight, wisdom and humor.
I have always been interested in Astrology and how this affects me as a person, but have not really taken much interest in choosing potential partners according to their horoscope signs.
Recent reflection of past love/love interests has found a startling thing. I have had the best relationships with those that are meant to astrologically match my sign of Leo.
Now I had always thought that people that put too much weight into this as a bit fanatical ( sorry) but I am now starting to wonder?
What about you?  Do you believe in the horoscope matching for relationships?  Have your best relationships being the best matches astrologically?
Is there something in this or am I commencing the first stages of senility??  LOL

<title>Afraid To Love</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=59841</link>
<pubDate>05-SEP-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Some of the recent blogs/comments have made wonder why is it that we are afraid to open up to love again?

Oh we have ALL been hurt before, that is life, but what makes one person pick themselves up and allow themselves to be vunerable and love again, and another to shut down?

Is it not that feeling of being loved and loving we are all searching for?

If you have been hurt before and survived, why wouldn't you survive it yet again?

Have heard it said that someone will love again when they can trust the person they are with. Is allowing oneself to love again about trusting the other person, or is it about trusting oneself?

Is not a life without love just as painful or even more painful, than loving and maybe been hurt?
Would really love to hear all your thoughts. xx

<title>New Office Policy</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=60181</link>
<pubDate>11-SEP-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
DUE TO BUDGET CUTS, THIS IS OUR NEW OFFICE POLICY
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2008
Dress Code:
1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary.
2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.
3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.
4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.
Sick Days:
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
Personal Days: 
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays
Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend the funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.
Bathroom Breaks:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders' category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy.
Lunch Break:
* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. * Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. * Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a poositive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.
The Management

Made me wonder what that means? How do you define the needy woman/man?  Is it something they all do, or is it just that they crowd your space in some way? 
Men and women like to feel needed, dont they?  So why does this become a problem?

<title>What you dont understand..</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=59401</link>
<pubDate>31-AUG-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Over the last many months I have had numerous conversation with both males and females from here about dating and many other topics.
Quite often there are questions about things that the opposite sex either does or says that we just cant understand.
For example; 
Why do women think that sex is all I'm after because I want to discuss it?   
Why men will treat you bad and wait for you to end it, rather than tell you it over?
Why do they keep things bottled up instead of expressing what they are feeling? 
Do you have some yourself to add?  
Can you help give us a perspective on any of these?
Maybe we can help each other out?  The better we understand the better relationships we will form.

OK so someone has done the dirty on you, has abused your trust, hurt you or played up on you.
Do you seek revenge, or just let it go?  Is revenge really sweet?
I have a friend that comes up with the most creative ideas for revenge when someone has wronged her (she gives me some great ideas lol).
What about you, do you want revenge?  Have you taken revenge on someone?  If so what did you do? What did they do that made you want to?

<title>The most embarrassing moment</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=56620</link>
<pubDate>22-JUL-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Hi all, just a little preamble before I start....I'm home sick at the moment, have been ordered to bed by the doctor.  Now there is only so much time I can stand staying in bed alone, so here I am again. he he
 
Now I was speaking to a friend the other night and I said that I did not blush.  This of course has brought to mind of all the different time I have.
 
There was one time when I was in my early twenties, when I had been talked into having an Amway presentation in my home. Well I had invited about 10 people but only 2 guys that I know turned up.
So there we were, the 2 males and I, sitting in my little lounge room listening to the male presenter talking about the products and company.

About 5 minutes in, to my horror!!!!! In trotted my little Chihuahua dog, looking proud as punch, teeth clamped tight, and dragging in my vibrator !!!!!! 

Oh I couldn't believe my eyes, the damn thing looked bigger than dog was, how the hell she could she be carrying it???
 
Well time stood still, while I watched her moving closer into the lounge area, while i tried to think of a way to get it from her before anyone noticed.

Just as I stood up, the closet male looked down and saw what she was caring.  OMG I thought, but I was already standing to go take it from her and hide it.

Did I get a chance ???

Nooooo, this male then takes the vibrator from the dog and starts waving it above his head like he has just won an prestige's award. 
Well ground swallow me up please.!!!!!

Anyway I grab the thing from him and walk straight out the door, hearing the presenter say to me &quot;Its OK, we will wait for you&quot;

LOL  Wait for me???  I never wanted to see any of them again.  I sat laughing in my room to the point of tears. It seemed like ages and I was hoping that he will get the hint and continue his presentation or get out of there.

But no this was not to be my lucky day. He waited for me!!!!
Eventually I returned with the bravest face I could and suffered through the rest of the evening, so I could get them out as soon as I could. Try looking anyone in the eye after something like that happens???

Well there you have it. LOL  So what lesson did I learn?
Well never to have an Amway presentation in my home again, and always make sure my dog is MUCH bigger than my vibrator.  he he he

So anyone else game to share their most embarrassing moment?????

<title>How Do You Feel Loved?</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=58341</link>
<pubDate>16-AUG-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
So how do you show love to your partner and what does your partner need to do for you in order for you to feel loved by them?

I believe that there are 3 main ways that people show their love for each other.

1. Words....You tell them you love them all the time, tell them that how special they are and what qualities you like about them.

2. Gifts....Well here you would feel loved because your partner brought you little or big gifts, you need to have theses to feel that you are truly loved.

3. Actions....Now here your partner doing the things for you like helping you with the chores, giving you a massage, making time for you, or writing a poem or letter.

Now you may be saying, well I need all of these to feel loved, and I agree, but I think that we all tend lean more to one or two of them.

For me I feel loved most when my partner does things for me, but do also need to have this supported with some word.  Now I dont mean that he need to tell me he loves me all the time, or even at all, but hearing that you are special, that you look nice...that sort of thing goes down real well. he he

Now if I was with a partner that wanted to show love by buying things for me all the time, though I would enjoy them, eventually I will feel unloved.

I tend to show love the same way as I like to receive it, actions supported by word and I dont tend to think of buying him anything unless its a special occasion. too bad, he he xx

So what about you, do you agree with this?  What makes you feel loved and how do you like to show it back?

<title>Opposites Attract???</title>
<link>http://www.LargeFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=58161</link>
<pubDate>14-AUG-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
We know that opposites attract.  We can be drawn to those that have qualities that we dont have or wish we had.  
Now I'm not talking about the physical side of things more on personality, habits and interests.  
For example one person is quite and shy and their partner is very social and vocal. Or one is more of an intellectual type and their partner does not know the front end of a book.
Now what I was wondering if those qualities that first attracted you, eventually annoy you?  
Who has been in relationships like this, did this become a problem? 
Can this be overcome or should we be looking for someone that is nearly a mirror image of ourselves?

<pubDate>02-AUG-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Hi to you all in blogland, just wanted to say you are a great bunch of people and thanks for making me feel welcome. xxx
OK so I was reading a blog here about dishonesty and that made me wonder just what do you consider as cheating?
Clinton said &quot;I did not have sexual relations with that women&quot;. Since when is putting your engorged member into someones mouth, not having sex????
I have encountered married guys here who will tell that as they are only talking about it so its not cheating.
So what is cheating?  Is it full penetration, or can just kissing and flirting be considered as cheating?
What about some cyber or phone action, is that cheating or just talking?  What if your just thinking about sleeping with someone else are you then cheating also?
Would love to know what you call cheating?

<pubDate>09-JUL-08</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Hi all, life is stranger than fiction! lol  
Had a girlfriend call upset today, tells me that her man's ex came over to tell him about this wonderful new lotion that helps a mans erection get real hard.
As her man and this ex are friends my girlfriend is not too worried at first. 
Not until this ex offers to give him a demonstration of how to use the lotion correctly.  
Now its not over yet!  
This ex then pulls him out of his pants and starts massaging the lotion on him, all in front of my friend.  
My friend sits there shocked and then gets her gear and walk out. He chases after her, trying to tell her it does not mean anything.
Would love to know what would you do in a similar situation?  Do you agree with him that it does not mean anything?

<description><![CDATA[
I just don't get it!!     
You get a wink from someone, they are showing interest and you wink back to show your interested too.
Then you hear nothing.  ?????
Now in my books, if I was to send you a wink, and you responded, then it would be up to me to make the next move.
Am I missing something?
Are the guys just sending winks for the fun of it?  
Would love to hear what you all think, and some responses from some guys would be great.
