I might have to check out porn sites one of these years -- to refresh my memory of what "strokes" means.

Was it Plentyoffish? The moderators there have a screw loose.
Yes!! LOL!!! until 2011!! They would not even answer me and I have never been banned and have been posting since I got there.
Oh- what I have learned- Long distance relationships can suck the life out of you.

I've learned that even after a marriage lasting 30 years, sometimes things just go bust. One person can take their wedding vows seriously, while the other one can just be waiting for the opportunity to make an exit. Somewhere along the line our paths started to veer away from each other until the grass was looking greener on the other side of the fence and he jumped it. Maybe there were things I could have and should have done differently, maybe not. Maybe he could have too, maybe not. What have I learned? I've learned, it is NOT the end of MY world, if I'm to live the rest of my life without a partner, then so be it. I'll make the most of it and enjoy every moment that's left.....
Edited to add: I have a very full life now, doing what I want, when I want, if I want.....and of course, I have my 5 wonderful grandkids that I adore and they me. I am included in all activities (just got back from a camping trip this AM and heading to TN the day after tomorrow for 2 days at Dollywood....no time to feel lonely with this crowd....lol)

At some point you will have to learn to trust or life is going to get very lonely.

I have learned.......that if I have anything to say to a person......I say it directly. I have learned that others can not always do this........they have to go behind your back and spread rumours and gossip to others.........when knowing full well that what they say is TOTALLY UNTRUE.......and are too cowardly to confront you....its much easier for them to take other means........to discredit you. VERY VERY SAD......VERY!!!

Isn't that a tough one to swallow marylou? But take heart - I daresay the vast majority of us have had to learn that one the hard way!

I have learned that although there are some dishonest people online, the majority are exactly as they claim.

Aeromuse...............Yes it IS a tough one to swallow. The ONLY good thing is.....that during the time you are on here.....you make some really good and sincere friends....even tho they are ONLY on line........but they come to know you.......as you ARE ON HERE....they get a sense of your nature.....so always know........that you mean well and dont mean anyone any REAL HARM......but others.....if they make up their mind to dislike you.....or take you amiss for whatever reason.....THERE ISNT ONE DARNED THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT......that is the sad part. But your online friends are supportive........so that makes up for all the awful stuff.

Marylou- Most people for some reason inherently suck - it
could be the way they treat people, it could be the way they speak to people-
always remember- People KNOW people. Just because they LISTEN to
what others say does not mean they BELIEVE it.
Unfortunately some have weak minds and cannot think for themselves and need
to be led around by others opinions, ideas or whatever-
Take everything in life including on line dating with a grain of salt, throw
it over your shoulder and let it go.
OP- I have also learned that if a man/woman say they are divorced then
seperated then back to divorced again- they are married. I have also learned
(yes I have learned alot) that married people ALWAYS have permission from thier spouse to be here- get involved with single people and screw with thier feelings.
I have also learned that true love can make the darkest day the brightest.

I've learned that, the older I get, the chances of finding the right one seem to dwindle .... that it's harder to think about trying again .... that when you do try and it doesn't work, it gets harder and seemingly more futile to look ahead to it happening again .... and that being a defeatist can be pretty damn easy most of the time .... it's just my reality, and I deal with it.
