billiscool: I date across the university's grad programs, meeting people through classes taken together/projects worked on together (I take classes in three departments and also tutor for several departments), employment (say, the IT guy where I work), student groups (I'm an atheist, and there are atheist meetups), and friends. I used to have a profile on OK Cupid and I met one person through it whom I still contact, and I was brutally honest on my profile.
Let me put it to you this way: how many times a day do you feel like no one listens to you or understands you? How excited would you be to be on a date or even just hanging out with someone who asks you questions about your interests, carries on a conversation about them or is interested in learning about them, listens to your bad day story and otherwise behaves like your ideas and opinions are worth listening to?
Hint: most people are VERY excited to be paid attention to, and I'm insatiably curious, so it works out for both of us.

Nope, and nope. Not saying there aren't women who are searching for "projects", but those lifestyle pieces are just silly filler fluff. The same women would probably be writing about becoming bridezilla a couple years down the road. 
Bridezilla? Are you referring to Misslizard? Not cool of you.
You are very beautiful indeed. *shivering*

I smoked between 17-18, then quit to take up running. It was a gross habit. I don't even social smoke, now.
Again, I don't credit my political views (which are as likely to turn a guy off as on), but rather a habit of listening to others.

in this day and age I am more shocked when people light up, and liberterians tell us government is the problem
good grief if we had it their way we would still be breathing asbestos

aussiebloke: In my defense, it was in the 90s when I was smoking, and specifically the early nineties in the US, where smoking was still cool (my high school had an official smoking area for students.) I was young, dumb and dumb.

I read that a Man marry's a Woman because he Loves her, therefore he doesn't want her to change into anything else, he wants her to remain the woman he loves, ..........they change! so the man has to spend his time down the shed to avoid this person his lovely wife turned into.
Woman on the other hand, marry a man thinking he has the potential to be turned into something she actually wants......................men do not change.
Show me the boy and I'll show you the man.

Sometimes I meet middle aged couples where the wife is a snarky know it all. I think to myself, she must have been stunningly beautiful when she was young. How else would he have fallen for such a horrible person?
Or she was expert in giving blowjob.
or she swallows

in some parts of Europe it still is so much so in my home land Switzerland smokes are 1/2 the price they are here in oz, with all those smokes, fatty foods , and long work weeks I wonder how their the 2nd longest lived nation in the world
I am often critical of the aussies (I am Swiss after all
) though in some areas they are world leaders did you know the government here stole the trademarks of the tobacco companies, it makes me laugh theirs a chain of smoke shops here called "free choice" yet all of the smokes are under lock and key , the shop is barren!
