    Today on "Ophra"

    What??? An expert on Oprah saying the fault lies with women???? I had to read the online article covering that Oprah show, but here's what I found... But she doesn't hold true to that, as you'll see in the following, as she insidiously blames the man for the woman's problems and doesn't...

    Awesome personal ad written by a Craigslist poster

    The way I understand it, "Reality" is the actual event/circumstances. In and of itself, it's neither good nor bad until we perceive it to be one or the other. "Perception" is the value judgment we place on it. Someone kills himself. That's the reality, neither good nor bad. If it's our child...

    intense 4 month relationship turns to LJBF... what to do?

    Last night, wasn't sleepy so I stayed up and tried to bore myself to sleep watching E! the Top 25 Hollywood Cougar Tales. Hey, there's only so much I wanna hear over again about Eli Manning, okay? Though celebs are notorious for haphazard love lives, I tune in to the nuggets: Tim Robbins and...

    Awesome personal ad written by a Craigslist poster

    Here's an article I came across from New York magazine, written in 2002, though nothing's changed since then... written by one Susan Dominus, who I'm pretty sure isn't bitter about greedy, materialistic women... (Love how Sascha claims that it's she who has "ambitions"). The rest of the...

    intense 4 month relationship turns to LJBF... what to do?

    Well, hey, she changed her mind about you, right? So, why aren't you permitted the luxury of changing your mind too? It's such BS. Kind of funny when you consider she's the one that wants away from you, right? So what's the point of pulling you back in, except for that she wants to hold all the...

    Craigslist post gets a reaction

    Okay. I apologize if anyone thought I was being hostile. Hard to read tones in postings. But hey, advice can be helpful, even when unsolicited, as sometimes we don't know what we don't see and no one's above improving... not even me and I've lived about twice as long as most of you guys!

    Craigslist post gets a reaction

    Hey Colossus, you needn't be so defensive. I'm not "blasting" anyone, just making my points but in a firm way. If what I read sounds like excuses to me, then I'll say what's on my mind, just like you have.

    Middle age slump

    Staying physically fit is so unbelievably key. I'm one of those anomalies; the rare (it seems to me) guys in their 50's who appear younger, and are in shape. There's Pierce Brosnan, Lorenzo Lamas, George Clooney, and me. Cough, cough. I eat right and work out 3x a week and have since my late...

    For some of us, it just isn't in our cards...

    Define "desirable". If a woman is attracted to me in part because I have money or status, then I don't find her that desirable anymore. One of the hottest women I ever went out with was this hot stacked blonde, educated, kind of resembled Linda Carter "Wonder Woman". She was so hot that she...

    Craigslist post gets a reaction

    Thanks for pointing that out. In more than one way, I'm relieved that I didn't have the facts straight. Okay, so, you want to get together a woman who is still attached to her ex? Still a bad choice in my book. I'm continually surprised by the excuses people make for themselves. It's not a...

    Craigslist post gets a reaction

    Nice dodge. Not having expectations is great, but doing the same things over and over again that haven't quite best worked out before - bad choices - is really what this is about. "it is very possible that your initial contact was just "bad timing" Is that what you think it was in your case...

    That's not "luck", what you've described are "circumstances".

    Craigslist post gets a reaction

    For a guy who so recently lamented the state of affairs, I'm surprised you keep doing the same things over again and expecting better results. Happened to catch this little "blame the man for the woman's problem" in her quote. I wonder if you wouldn't hear from them if you didn't have...

    For some of us, it just isn't in our cards...

    edger, you're in NYC if I recall? There was a Village Voice article of how women have wised up to "the Game": http://groups.google.com/group/alt.seduction.fast/msg/1ed905510172e22d I'd agree with Potato, it's more than having good game (and I don't know if you do). If she likes what she sees...

    Uhhhhh, didn't we learn that by page 2?

    Need Advice on "Approaching" a Woman on a Dating Website

    Might be other factors involved rather than just the email content. As it is, the fact is that mentioning common interests is something that 80+% of the guys do when responding, so in and of itself, it is rather mundane so as to warrant attention back from a gal getting hit with dozens of those...

    Need Advice on "Approaching" a Woman on a Dating Website

    You see, stavrogin? Not only does this work to pick up girls online, but it works so well that now I've got Francisco d'Anconia getting his hopes up too! (Thanks for the thumbs up, F'd)

    Does "No Contact" really work?

    Yes, well, I know that's how it sounded to you, but that's because you're a guy. Here's how it probably sounded to her: "you'll probably have your other girls over this week" was really: "Are you seeing anyone else? I think you are. I want to know! Do I have you completely or not?" Then her...

    Does "No Contact" really work?

    Perfect. But you forgot to include the gay lover. Just kidding. You may have included it for all I know. Just kidding again. You did well. I think it works to deflect talking about personal matters like that with humor. Especially this early in. But it does show her doing her reconnaissance...

    Need Advice on "Approaching" a Woman on a Dating Website

    Think of online dating in terms of its real life counterpart. In real life, you wouldn't go up to a woman and the first thing out of your mouth would be to ask her to meet you somewhere. You have to build some comfort, trust and interest first. The problem is, that's being done by every other...
