Yes... you go girl! I actually don't like six-packs... I find them distracting and most guys that have them are incredibly narcissistic. Have you considered the computer website dating route? It's not bad for someone who is shy (Or like me wants to shop for the merchandise before I waste my time dressing up and blow drying and spraying my hair) You can just browse, put up a profile of yourself, don't say you've never gone on a date... just be yourself, you don't need to be that open of a book to a bunch of strangers. But you can meet some nice people, I've never had GREAT luck with it, but had some nice dates, a couple short term boyfriends, and some pretty good sex, too. You can just look to find what you want.

Way too young for me.

I've tried it. It doesn't work for me. I don't have a problem with dating someone from online that I've talked to for years. That's how I met the ex. (We were friends on an Elliott Smith community for 3 years) But, as far as the dating websites go. It's like I'm a creep magnet. I get these dirty messages alot. And, I find them utterly sick. So, I cancelled my OKcupid account because of that kind of [!@#$%^&*]. I wouldn't dare pay for something like that.

I got a facebook friend that wants to go out with me. He lives in freakin Omaha, which is 4 hours away.... he say he's interested in coming to "visit" me, so I'm debating. He dates ALOT, many different kinds of men. I know he's interested, as he's already "sexted" me by email. We both are stuck in the 70's (Which is EXTREMELY tempting), but he's an actor... and you know about them. Narcissistic as hell. I guess nothing ventured, nothing gained... he seems to be kind of a trollop, but I wonder if I should give it a whirl.

Yeah, I just might. Who knows? I always worry that nobody will want me anymore (the curse of being very pretty in your 20's and now mid-forties with 30 pounds of middle age spread) but that's just me being stupid and I know it. Since he loves the 70's so much, I know he'll get a real charge out of my house. I might as well take the plunge.

I have a problem attracting aggressive girls who frankly are not cute (I know, mean). Or they "aren't for me" I should say. I don't think that's me being picky because if you are not turned on by someone you're wasting your time. I'm spoiled because I have a couple very attractive close female friends (platonic relationships, which I am grateful for, but "that one drunken night" is a recurring fantasy). I guess it's always flattering when someone finds you attractive and sort of throws herself at you, but if you're gonna be a slut, at least be cute. Sorry. I know just being a slut works for a lot of girls. But I'm not the type of person to use people just for sex, I am not that desperate, and I'm not risking the word getting out that I'm bad in bed just because I wasn't really into you.

I did have a couple one night stands with a friend from college who aggressively pursued me. She was not attractive imo, and we ended up having a nice friendship which it was established that a relationship would never be. When we got back in touch after graduation (we lived in the same town), we started hanging out and out of drunken horniness, I broke my personal vow and we did it a few times on her living room floor (SFK keeping it classy). She had always been so sneaky, like lurking around my job on campus and having her friends spy on me, trying to sabotage relationships, so I felt really mad that she kinda "won" I guess you could say? I ended up saying some really mean things to her which I won't repeat because I'll totally give myself away, but the point is, don't do things that you know you'll regret and that will bring out the worst in you. It's never worth it and I am a person who can't stand to hurt other people, it haunts me, no matter how much they "deserved" it.

Try not to feel guilty. I am one of those people who is generous to a fault, but if they screw me or hurt me, WATCH OUT. Don't feel guilty if they truly deserve it. There was one former boss whom I outed to his parents and got him disinherited, then I wrote a poison pen letter to a married business owner in town telling him how my boss had been telling everyone he had sex with him in the men's restroom at our local trade show (which was TRUE). My old boss got demoted for that, and quit his job 6 weeks after. I don't feel guilty about that one at all. I'm like Roseanne in the movie "She Devil".

    • We are exactly the same. Ashland Locke at least had potential until JG decided to ruin that as he’s known to do with just about everything. It’s clear Sony and CBS don’t give a [!@#$%^&*].
    • Considering Naomi/Jacob are helping with June... and that she and Jacob have a complicated history with Hayley.. there is more soap opera potential having June and Hayley being related.    This is the downside of the show having one huge extended family... anyone not related to the family are boxed in a corner (i.e. Ashley/Derek, Tomas, Hayley/Bill).   If this were a 30 minute soap, I could understand the one family focus.. but this an hour soap so we best be getting a second family and/or characters not connected to the Duprees unless through work/romantic.. etc.
    • That guy also abused Beth (the one Lizzie killed), which the show probably should have done more with rather than just giving her a split personality and having her do whatever the plot demanded.
    • Thanks @slick jones I should mention that someone on the comments for the Ryan's Hope video with Susan Marie Snyder said the episode must have aired in July 1985. Those photos of Denise Alexander are lovely. The one with Denise, Leslie Charleson and Susan Brown got me emotional. We were so lucky to have them for so long.
    • It's just an absolute mess, and at this point, I genuinely do not know if anyone could turn the ship around. It feels like we're too far gone from what would be familiar for this soap. Genuinely.
    • It’s pretty much become the anti-soap. Bascially the show has rolled back to where it was in 2021, where absolutely zero drama occurred and actually I don’t recall anything memorable occurring at all. Substitute Dumas for Ashland Locke and it’s the same thing all over again. At least we have no strange creepy story about Abby this around I suppose?
    • It's far too much slow, smoked-flame. It's bad soap telling. SO bad.
    • And then, to finish up the story: Phillip returned to Springfield several years later to clear his good(-ish) name in some ridiculous retcon that is best left forgotten...Beth couldn't accept that Phillip had returned to his family against her wishes, so she divorced him, went wacko and hooked up with jerk whom their grade school-aged daughter later offed...Rick married and divorced Annie in Chicago, I think, and did some other stuff that I tuned out of (on account of being disgusted with the show) before he realized he couldn't get arrested in Hollywood and came back...and AFAIK, Neil Everest stayed dead, but his daughter did not; and in fact, she went on to become a trailblazing, multiple Grammy-winning artist under the name "Billie Eilish."
    • I agree in a sense, but I think in some cases that was down to the actors. When some of those actors, like Kate Mulgrew, left, some of the issues with the writing came to the fore.  There were complex characters who were well-written and acted, like Jill, but many times we would end up with "good" characters I wanted to kick off a cliff. It's one of the reasons I was so protective toward Delia when Randall Edwards played her.
    • Same and it’s a [!@#$%^&*] disappointing disaster!!!   Basically me trying watch each episode
