Pull my balls - Part 1

You know those people with you see at the shops with hunched shoulders, cross eyes, pigeon-toes and shuffling feet?  These poor individuals undoubtedly had parents who chose to deal with their children's problems by saying things to them like "Well, there's no use complaining about it Jamie" or "Keep calm and carry on Julia".  In my opinion, unless poison has a way out of the body it tends to settle in the shoulders and the knees, the feet and the eyeballs.  That pent up complaining can also manifest as serious, albeit less obvious illness.  Mental illness is rife among those who choose to put on a constant happy face. (click for reference) Clogged arteries, strokes, heart attacks - no thanks.  Complaining...well as long as it's good for my appearance and my health, I'm happy to oblige.

My last entry focused on Internet dating and my complaint was loosely based on the fact that I was compatible with so few men that I was very probably going to be single forever.   I'm well aware that there are a lot of issues I need to complain about about on this blog and because of this it's not in my best interest to get stuck on one topic for too long.  HOWEVER!  Please let me take you on one final amazing Internet dating adventure.  Please travel with me - to hell and back- as I give a voice to a very memorable first-date encounter a good friend of mine (we shall call her "Sally") endured with a man she was introduced to online.  We affectionately refer to him as "pull my balls".

...to be continued.

Pull my balls - Part 2

Pulling balls = very hard work indeed "In my opinion".  It's always important to say that.  In my opinion, certain personality traits are easy to pick up on just by reading a man's profile on an Internet dating site.  Quiet bits of information that can be gleaned from the information provided. Whether or not I'm correct, playing this game of deeper meaning makes the screening process a bit more fun.  What music do you like?   This seems like an innocent enough question.  In my opinion, this question isn't so innocent.  Men who still list the same bands and songs that were popular when they were teenagers have failed to progress and grow.  25-30 years have passed since they were at university and you can't tell me that in all those years they are unable to come up with a few new tunes that take their fancy.  My guess is that they still have exactly the same opinions as they had back then.  Harsh aren't I?   Yes, yes, I'm getting to the st

Middle-age men and their missing molars

Image
I've only dated one man in the last year who hasn't been missing at least one tooth. And I've dated a few. It goes like this. Introductions over, perhaps sit and chat for a bit. You say something worthy of a LOL, or more likely, he says something he thinks is funny, he arches his head back and opens his mouth. Your first magic moment together. And bingo, there it is!  Or rather, there it isn't.  No matter how many times I see that 'space' I'm always shocked. 4th or 5th tooth back from the midline, usually upper mandible. Always obvious. These men have good cars (yes, they tell me), they're reasonably employed, ok clothes and hygiene...but their teeth! When you look at the Australian statistics, it's undoubtedly the poor who are missing teeth - adults without private health insurance, those on lower incomes and those who are eligible for public dental care have more missing teeth ( 1) . The cohort available to me on RSVP. Usually lower socioeco

Parachute men

Today I’m going to divulge what I know about and term ‘parachute’ men.  These are the men who favour a soft landing when it’s time to come to earth. Over the last year and a half I've had the pleasure of dating a few men who (1) are still living with their wives but claim to be separated and (2) spend their adult lives setting up the next relationship before they've ended the existing one.  I call these men 'parachute men'. Firstly, I'll tackle the men who need one relationship to ooze into another.  These men are hand-holders and need to be loved and petted a lot in order to be completely happy.  *Romeo, the “but you didn’t ask” man (see  my previous post  about a man who is happy to orgasm every time he enters a woman, and happier still if his partner quietly puts up with receiving nothing for her efforts - sorry a bit vague, that does cover a large proportion of the male population) was a classic.  He couldn't be by himself for a week.  He ha
