He's also an ex-cop, who after years of marriage had to enter the dating scene again.. He tried the net dating thing. Every time I'd tell him it wasn't a good idea. Like Miss Jay said, I figured for sure they had something to hide.. If all these women were as gorgeous as they portray themselves, why in the hell are they using the internet? <BR/><BR/>The good news is, he's really actually done. While he wasn't really looking, he met this really cool lady that he's proposing to this weekend at a cookout for the whole family... <BR/><BR/>So, I also agree with Kat.. Better have on your clean underclothes!!Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761888051349398776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-1147363320029816322006-05-11T12:02:00.000-04:002006-05-11T12:02:00.000-04:00Hmmmm.... guys always seem to prefer blondes, even...Hmmmm.... guys always seem to prefer blondes, even if it is vividly apparent bottle blonde.

But I do know where you're comming from. The most outragous one beleive it or not wasn't this one... It was a woman I met though it when I was still in Arizona right after my separation. Turned out it was the wife of a very prominant local politicial who had some serious issues I won't go into right now...

Since I'm married, of course I don't use it, but I've heard stories...<BR/><BR/>My ex boss from 3 years ago (who was a real jerk) used to make fun of people that used the net dating services. He called them "losers." Last Fall, I ran into a mutual friend of mine and his that told me to go home and look on Yahoo Personal's for a surprise. I did and my ex boss was on it, and lying about himself!

Thats probably the only way she can get any response at all. Being familiar with the internet dating thing, I realized that some people will do things like that in order to get their "foot in the door", so to speak (for lack of a better phrase at the moment) in the hopes of meeting someone that might possibly see something more in them beyond the first impression. However, I do have to agree with you here...she, herself, should have known that the difference in these two pics was more than any one man could handle..and the tatoos should have been mentioned wayyyyyy beforehand....<BR/><BR/>I believe you life is changing now for the better....new things are happening, and I think something very special is in store for you...I feel it coming, so put on some clean socks and underwear!!!Kat_womanx2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02885093019975886986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-1147341851786055972006-05-11T06:04:00.000-04:002006-05-11T06:04:00.000-04:00I can't blame you.
