I agree. I am totally the same way. I even have the civility part in my profile. I wish they would read it though. I figure, whatever works out with whomever I manage to find, cool! If nothing ever happens, well my wife and I have had some deep conversations about our ideas of how...

I am listed as straight and looking for women on OKC. I got an unsolicited message from an uber right-wing conservative Christian anti-gay marriage man who lives 9 time zones away (probably found me through my wife's profile). His message to me said this: "Grow up into a mature man" I...

No, I don't think you are an asshole. I think that you may have misread and/or misunderstood what I was writing. I think you then filled in the blanks of my story as I have told it thus far with information about me that simply is not true. It's a bit frustrating and unfortunate. I haven't...

Hey there! Welcome to the forum. I am pretty new here too. I just want to let you know to be careful with your questions and comments. I did some posting over the last couple of days and seem to have drawn some heat from the local elders on this thread...

If you two are not stable, do you really want to rush into having kids together? I don't have kids of my own yet, but I have talked to several people who thought having kids would fix and solidify their relationship. They still split up/got divorced. 1) I disagree with this. Maybe you can work...

Hello everyone, Just signed up tonight. I'm in my early 30s and I'd like to keep myself relatively anonymous since most of the people close to me don't know about my thinking...yet. You can call me whatever variation of my screen name that reasonably comes to you. ;) I found this website and...
