Is this just me but when I go to a cafe or bar with a woman, I like to sit where I can see the door.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 13, 2018:

That is a normal reaction. In my observation it does seem to be stronger in males, and it is stronger in folks that have lived with the experience of violence. Given a choice I'd sit with my back to the wall rather than my back to the rest of the room any day.

Maybe it is early morning or I'm not reading you right, but it seems to me you're being rather pre-emptively judgmental. Many folks deal with depression every day and you'd never know it. And heavy chips, we've all got baggage. With that said, good luck in your search, wherever it leads you.

Late 70s and early 80s I was active duty in the Army. Dating? Never had a lighter or a pen, most of the time I didn't have a phone number to give out. I had a duty phone, but not going to have anyone call that. Then I got married in '82. We met via a singles column in a publication for USForces.

What's your lowest compatibility percentage?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 11, 2018:

Yeah, I'm not completely sold on the compatibility percentages. I'd rather look over their bio, and their location. If they're agreeable to meeting I'd go out of my way to meet them. Face to face will tell so much more than the numbers here. I don't want to find my clone, I want someone whose demons will play well with mine, and numbers aren't going to show that.

Overweight shows weakness?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 11, 2018:

Wow, fat shaming is rampant. Food has so many associations and so much baggage. If the answer were only so easy as simply more will power, more strength of character. The math is simple, eat more calories than you burn and you gain weight. The reality is food is wrapped up in mental health and emotions. Food is love, food is celebration, food is life. Yeah, every overweight person needs more judgement in their life. What would I say to your family members. I'd say "Fuck you. Take your judgement and stuff it down your pie hole and I hope you choke on it."

Do you have a "5 year plan"?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 11, 2018:
