I can't believe that men will write this stuff.

tinkercreek comments on Jan 6, 2020:

"The men" don't write that stuff, as they don't have the language skills, and may or may not be men. They are employed to be scammers, and choose from a list of phrases from their cell boss who gets the words from someone who *thinks* they have the language skills. What a riot!

tinkercreek comments on Jan 4, 2020:

Working in the medical field, by it's nature, does elicit some reactions. I support an office of behavioral healthcare and have learned that many folks become reactive about psychiatry, so now just cite "medical office". It is typically easy enough to avoid details or speak in general terms until I get to know people better, and I have been respected for declining further discussion. It is also OK to be a tiny bit misleading! Regardless of your credentials, I would guess you have the skills to avoid that detail and/or just say 'gynecology'. Through discussion on a hike you will likely get a notion of his personal values, and if you want to continue to seeing him you can decide more later. I would agree with you on not bringing the abortion detail forward to be shared with the group!

Keeping Up With Faster People

tinkercreek comments on Jan 4, 2020:

Being taller than many folks, as well as using walking as my primary aerobic activity, I have a history of being a very fast walker. I learned quickly to pace myself with whomever accompanied me, but it has proven an advantage in being able to zoom out of group walks when I tire of conversation!

I just want to be cuddled and spooned for a few hours. To feel safe and cared for.

tinkercreek comments on Jan 3, 2020:

I know where you're at, a very familiar want. Brings to mind a few years back there was a 'social cuddling' group in Portland, unsure if it was a MeetUp or business situation. Not that I advocate the group situation, but have you checked local MeetUp groups for anything similar? Hang in there as this, too, shall pass.

Oh, that all looks marvelous, thank you for sharing! I visited St. Croix on holiday once, in 1984, my first trip off North America. We stayed in a former horse stable converted to lodging, and took a trail ride through the mahogany forest, picked fresh tamarind pods! I likely wasn't yet interested in bontanical displays, or maybe the garden was not yet developed?

"I like biting if done in the right way(s)" a man wrote.

tinkercreek comments on Jan 1, 2020:

It's hard to know just what his intent or interest was with this conversation, but I think it speaks to the folly of too much detailed conversation before meeting in person. That is a fine line, knowing when it's worth the time and effort to meet, but it could help in clarifying some lines of communication.

Well here I go again.

tinkercreek comments on Jan 1, 2020:

Having gone a few rounds with online dating, the result was 1 marriage and 1 LTR over a span of 15 yrs. Yes, it was love and a belief that each of those would be a successful life, but learned differently over time. I jumped back in the online pool a few times after that and routinely found similar lack of 'true representation, deliberate or not, and think it's just the nature of most self-written profiles. I also realized that I was approaching dating from a place of need and insecurity, rather than from a real and active life as my true self. Just my experience here, but doubtful I will dabble in that anymore. It is more important to me that I take the time (yes, as quickly as it passes now) to develop my most happy, healthy and productive self. Group activities, local MeetUps, sports, volunteering and classes are good ways to meet folks with similar interests. This site is a great way to develop thoughts and interests with other like-minded folks, a good experience of encouragement. From that framework I feel more likely to encounter and attract a partner that I can truly appreciate and style a positive relationship with. Online dating works well for some and you may be one of them, but there are options - best of luck!

I'm gonna tell y'all a few things about myself as I sit here, alone again, on NYE.
