Can you fall in love with someone who you've never met in person?

Rudy1962 comments on Feb 20, 2018:

Nope. I thought I had fallen in love with a beautiful Scandinavian woman with blue eyes. It turns out it was Brutus, who owns a small engine repair business that he runs out of his parent's home, has three inches of hair on his back and loves to cat fish.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 20, 2018:

Aww poor Brutus is probably sad and lonely without you. ;)

I used to be grossed out to see a woman who had hairy underarms. After 4 years in Spain, I got over it. I prefer that the ladies shave their legs though. Pubes? You ought to have a little bit of hair there. Doesn't have to look like a forest, but I don't really like the completely bald look ...

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 20, 2018:

@ScienceBiker loool. Don't even joke about that. My favorite thing about being single is the lack of fights. ;) Not backing off trying to be diplomatic. You may not assume but a lot of men do. It's one of those sore spots.

Are you getting any?

d_day comments on Feb 19, 2018:

Well, I was getting enough, until Saturday, when I got dumped.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 20, 2018:

Sorry to hear that.

So the loneliness has finely sunk in.

Troy comments on Feb 20, 2018:

You will get past this. You are young, and this period of being alone may seem interminable, but you will come to see it as a very short part of your life.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 20, 2018:

Or not and that's OK too. Being single is not the worst fate.

So the loneliness has finely sunk in.

Rugglesby comments on Feb 20, 2018:

yeah, I think you have nailed a lot of what those of us seeking relationships need. That said I have a little spoon, I roll over every 20 minutes and our cat (Kat) patiently gets up, walks over me and snuggles up again she is always little spoon. She is not silly, if she is at my back I could roll...

@btroje right? Pets are the best.

I was doing some reading about men being afraid to flirt and approach women.

PhitDoctor50 comments on Feb 20, 2018:

I think that is a far cry from the fear that most women have when being approached, or when they turn down a date, or a flirtation, or get catcalled, etc. Men are seriously weak and whiny when it comes to any infringement on their ability to say or do whatever the fuck they want whenever and ...

Kids: an untapped food source. What? Why are you all looking at me that way? (Shit! Did I say that out loud about being a food source? Dang it!) Okay, now that's done. I don't have kids. I have avoided having them all my life. I have too many issues that I'm still working through, not ...

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 20, 2018:

I'm sorry you feel that way about yourself. Have you thought of volunteering teaching kids something? It might be a good outlet for that parenting urge .

To Shave or Not to Shave

Lucy_Fehr comments on Feb 20, 2018:

I have almost no body hair yet the hair on my head is super thick even in my 50's. I selected pits because that is the only thing I shave with any regularity. I shave because the hair increases body odor so I do it for myself. I have never shaved my legs above the knee and might shave my legs ...

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 20, 2018:

Lucky with the light body hair! I'm half bear and have to shave with a weed whacker.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 20, 2018:

@ScienceBiker having an opinion is all well and good. Frankly though offering an unsolicited( this was not a what do guys like thread)opinion on someone's personal choices and presenting it as a "well I want-- in a woman" automatically pisses me off. Frankly women hear what men want and are expected to care WAAAAY too often. The automatic assumption that I should give two hoots about whether a random man wants me to wear makeup/shave/go to church makes me furious. If you'll excuse me I have to go burn some bras.

Gross.

CapriKious comments on Feb 19, 2018:

Coffee is a delicious beverage. No reasonable person would see coffee with someone as anything other than a casual meeting. Dinner means that you are obliged and committed to have sex with them. Hehe, Just kidding.... That kind of thinking is really pretty silly and obnoxious. I would need a ...

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 19, 2018:

@walklightly nope. That is false. Race does not have to exist genetically to exist in some peoples minds. I can absolutely state that race is not a thing genetically AND that racism exists socially . Your argument is nonsensical.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 19, 2018:

Kudos to you for recognizing that in yourself. It seems that when people talk about an injustice they've lived through a lot of people write them off a being dramatic. The idea seems to be "well that's not been my experience,so that can't really happen as often/to the extent you say because I haven't seen it".
