It's like coffee granules . . . goes into water one way, lands up being something different afterwards. Still coffee, but different. 

at the risk of diverting your post;

Me thinks that if it was 22 single females and 2 single males . . . somebody would still complain about the 2 single males 

Having been one of the very regular contributors of recent past, I would tell you a slightly different story as to why the forums died.

One of the reasons was simply that everytime somebody contributed something, they got shot down in flames and were accused of 'hi-jacking" a topic. Funny thing was though, those same members who complained about this were the first to complain when the forums were quiet.

There are countless reasons though . . . . . .

A typical "be yourself, just differently" situation . . . . . 

The part I have never been able to compute, is why said preferences are only an issue in one particular direction . . . . . 

Just a thought, maybe the majority of people look at groups like they look at facebook? 

(As in miss the point completely) 

BUT, remember, this is just an UNeducated opinion.

Thanks Vee,

Same to you

Boils down to choices, everyone is entitled to choices. He sooner one can process that, the sooner one stops being offended. 

No, it simply makes you honest!!!!

 You have too much time dude. . . . 

no no no, an app is a dick. . . .  

ust being humorous . . . very little policing these days anyway

oooh, somebody looking for backlash of the mod kind? 

Always best to report

People don't know what they want

how far gone . . .

yes indeed, some great images there. 

ummmm? To what end Sir?

humour. . . . at last!!!! :rotflmao:

. . . . . making reference to your post about why one would "abandone" the site. 

@Wolfman, dealing with posts of a certain nature, and not having your views taken as law . . . . somewhat of a difference there. 

you see now, spoken like a true information seeker.

While I am almost entirely of the same view as yourself, I think the problem is that people were never really allowed to have opinion. Whenever a person did, there was a particular Mod who was very quick to pour water on said opinion. 

Anyway, like you say, the forum is not what it used to be, or even what it could be. The only way (seemingly) to get people to give input, is to bring up the cultural differences in the country, or alternatively to jump down someone's throat for sharing their opinion. 

But, this is of course only my opinion. 

90% of people who use the term, probably just heard it somewhere and don't even know what it means.

So @mike_pta, you are suggesting promiscuous sex on the ground in the dirt then? I really have to wonder why there are not more people like you, that's a brilliant idea 

while I almost agree with what has been said about ownership etc etc etc, the bigger picture is still the impact it has on other people . . . . children, husband . . . . 

There is something in the concept of "responsibility" 

I simply don't keep those kinds of pics on a phone. Mostly because I have teenage children, but yes, also because to er is human. 

minimal traffic jams here, but so many other things that make up for it . . ..:sticky:

very much so Wolfman,

This is one of the very few boxes I have left to tick off

One could always have the "what if" chat before play begins

So, I was chatting to a friend of mine the other day about experiences we would still like to have. She "accused" me of being the biggest reason I have not "ticked" some of the Items off the to do list. 

On reflection, I would have to say that she was right, I do sometimes (often) not allow a situation to play out and subsequently opportunities go by unused. Now I'm not talking about dodgy situations. Just those times when even with a familiar playmate, that one specific boundary is left intact . . . . . 

Anybody else have something similar? 

BUT . , . . . size doesn't matter 

Parkrun cant really be classified as a place for runners can it? It takes runners more than 5km just  to warm up! :rotflmao:
