OpposingOpposum replies on May 30, 2018:

@IAMGROOT you are correct that is is a different topic. I do feel it's related however as one of the aims of indoctrination is to churn out good little worker bees. I do not consider it a conspiracy. Its simply cause and effect. The entire aim of capitilism is to increase wealth for for the corporation and its shareholders. That objective, unchecked by concern for the human cogs in that money making machine leads to a lot of misery for those who don't own the capital, which is the majority of the population. Who you are and what you own do not negate the truth of my statements. Interesting that those who benefit from the system we live in always fall back on the "do you know who I am?" chestnut.

Hmmm. I don't know that I can agree with that. Most of what I see in capitilism is people finding ways to make money off the labor of their employees while seeking to keep as much profit as possible for themselves. Even corporations that begin with more egalitarian ideals always fall to the bottom line above all directive. Look at whats going on in the service and retail industries rn. Employees carefully kept under hours so benefits don't need to be given while being required to have open availability. Unpaid internships are rampant, as are wage theft and multiple other abuses. Capitilism is broken imo

Well, I'm 63, been thru a number of relationships on a number of different levels & duration. I've never struck a woman, let alone killed them! Have I had arguments, sure as shit! But, I can control myself & my 'instincts' as I am a fully grown reasonable human. I think I'm worth it. Each lady will ...

@Cast1es yes. Its been my experience that people get attached very quickly. Then things get messy/scary when you try to disengage. I've had men get threatening when I didn't want to continue seeing them after a few dates.

ScienceBiker comments on May 27, 2018:

That I'm not one of the 93% of men that committed a homicide against a woman. The most I've ever done is threw a wet dish towel at my ex wife about 15 years ago. Really I'm the one who should be afraid. I date alpha warrior women ?

OpposingOpposum replies on May 27, 2018:

OpposingOpposum comments on May 27, 2018:

It's true. Every time I think about dating someone I wonder if he's going to turn out to be violent. Men just don't want to hear this and/or don't understand that this isn't an irrational fear. Women are killed by their partners every single day.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 27, 2018:

@SACatWalker really? Not wanting to date a short guy is up there with murder in your book? C'mon man.

Awwwww group hug. Everyone pile on @Lukian

Like @nvrnuff I’m getting a bit disenchanted with this site, and for many of the same reasons.

HarrySlick comments on May 26, 2018:

Most of the members love these pathetic meaningless posts . There is one guy on here who will get 50 comments if he says he just puked all over himself

OpposingOpposum replies on May 27, 2018:

These are things that happen when you interact with others and they actually like you. I do understand that is a foreign concept to some.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 27, 2018:

@Mofferatu lol. Nope that's me in #2 after 2 beers ?

Did people unfollow me, or they're all ignoring me now for some unknown reason?

It’s so hard to find the right person

CraeftSmith comments on May 26, 2018:

I am not the right person! (And I am also glad that I didn't forget the word 'not' like I often do)

OpposingOpposum replies on May 26, 2018:

Hahaha. I would totally be the right person for this. I wonder why I'm still single....

NFAguy53 comments on May 24, 2018:

The "compatibility" is a sham. One of the ones I am a 99% match with just went nutso bonkers when I asked her a question. We are compatible by the questions. And the questions only. She thinks a LOT different than I do.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 25, 2018:

Was literally just having a conversation about this. People get REALLY caught up in the little labelled boxes they put themselves in. In my experience the people IN those boxes often have more in common than they do differences but we just see those labels and write each other off as different. Listening, without judgement and without interruption is huge. If you develop that skill you may find your ability to connect with people hugely improved.

@Lukian lol bro. Can't tell. You're set to community only and it only works if both profiles are open to dating. At a guess, probably though.
