KKGator comments on Apr 4, 2018:

What's the difference between a hike and a walk?

jlynn37 replies on Apr 4, 2018:

I would say a walk is around your neighborhood or at a gym or track and a hike is on a trail in a natural area.

jlynn37 comments on Apr 4, 2018:

I enjoy camping and I spend my days at the campground hiking trails every day before noon and again after 4pm. I used to hike 10-15 miles a day camping now down to just 2-3 miles per day (thus proving that age is more than just a number). I do take a walk every day in my neighborhood.

Not directed at you for your comment, but I hate it when I read/hear anyone refer to sex as dirty, filthy, nasty, trashy, mind in the gutter. Sex is normal, natural, healthy, exciting, pleasurable, satisfying, beautiful.

I admire you for accepting this man's approach and giving him your information. That is really the only way a man can approch a strange woman who he would like so much to introduce himself too. As to your question, he is married and the rest is entirely up to you.

jlynn37 replies on Mar 26, 2018:

I would like to add that I was on the opposite end of this type of situation. I am a single man and have introduce myself to many strange woman in different places. The majority who accepted my approach (and there were many) were married. I won't go any further with this.

Good day my fellow brothers and sisters.

Atheist is an anti position. Non-believer/agnostic is a neutral one. It's the difference between telling them "Your beliefs are wrong" and telling them "I don't share your beliefs." People typically don't like being told that they're wrong. You can see that on any Internet forum.
