I know that I am a night person. Still, good grief. I need to be able to get some darn sleep. I am sick of it almost being morning before I can get tired enough to sleep soundly.

Had a great time trying out Groove at Golds Gym. Some would say this is a chick class but I enjoyed it. Great chance to work on your rhythm and some of those muscles that you might otherwise overlook. Getting that toe, heal, knee in the right order was driving me crazy, lol.

 

I really wonder about these match percentages. If they are high does it really increase our compatibility with someone? And what is a good percentage? What I do know is that most people are at least interesting in some way. That is not to say that I can relate with them completely but I love being open minded enough to listen and to accept. I also am not naive enough to believe that I could sculpt an ideal person by answering questions how my ideal companion would. The wonderful women I have been with in my life have never been very much alike. They have all had their own ways of thinking. They have all had their own behaviors and ways to show affection. And yet, I have appreciated them all for who they were. The fact is most of them are still friendly with me today because even when the relationship ended the respect and appreciation for who they are was still there.

So please forgive me if I to an extent ignore the percentages and focus more on your profile information and appearance (as your appearance tells a lot about you especially as another way of expressing your personality). And if you would do the same for me, I would appreciate it.

This show is so stupid it's funny. I am enjoying the second season rotting my brains and yet I still can not pull away.

This is seriously a hard thing to want to put in my profile. Am I poly or not? The fact is I don't think it is that simple. I was married for 12 years. For about half that we had an open relationship where we basically just had short sexual encounters with people we were attracted to. And for about a year we had a relationship with one very attractive woman who we shared many experiences with. I loved it. Of course I am a typical male who had his fantasies fulfilled being with two gorgeous women at the same time. But it was more then this really. I loved that there were three of us because my wife and I had another best friend who we could talk to. This third person was actually great for settling arguments because they could see things from the outside if it was between two of us and talk about the problem reasonably, getting past the emotional barriers.

Now this wasn't perfect and it did lead to my divorce later as my wife struggled with her conception of what a family was with the pressures of her family and "friends". She pushed the other woman out of the relationship (we are still good friends with her though), and then she pushed me away too.

So, yes I loved being poly. However I still believe I could be happy in a mono relationship as well. Putting "poly" in your profile though would almost surely scare away the good women who would not be able to handle a relationship like that though. And considering how few people seem to be interested in making contact in my area can I afford to really scare people away?

How hard can it be to go swimming around here! Apparently pretty hard today. I have been on my land lords butt for the past 3 weeks to open the pool for our community. But since they are only a part of a collective of land lords which control the pool apparently she has very little pull to get it open.

So I figure I will take my kids and a neighborhood friend who is suffering like we are to a public pool that I know. It's cheap, $3 for adults and $1 for the kids. However apparently it and the other one across town are closed on Monday and Tuesday.

So today we suffer. But Wednesday we will be able to escape the heat. With my luck though it will rain, lol.

I guess this is kind of a complaint note, but it is bothering me that I am not getting responses. What I mean is that as most of you probably know, it is not easy to start up a dialog in the first place. Sure this is a great place where you can meet people, but the fact is you still need to break the ice with an initial message. So after taking the time and mental energy to send an opening message that is more then just "hey you look gud. u like me?". I would just like in return a message. It can be simple. I am fine with someone just telling me they are not interested. Better would be why. And best would be if someone would actually take a chance to get to know me.
