The good news is this: Between the closing of the earlier thread and the opening of this one, it became apparent that previous reports about Poland's numerical system were incorrect. Your country is capable of dealing with numbers up to, including, and possibly exceeding a hunnerd fiddy, oj tak. Therefore, we need not be so sensitive as to translate numbers for you any longer, oj nie. :dance:

1. I don't find months in between dates to be very picky at all!

2. I can't even imagine dating someone new every couple of months! How can you even find that many people who meet even the most basic of your standards?

3 (formerly, Many). Maybe I'm terribly wrong, but I think the problem is the whole dating culture, that is why these international relationships works out so well. You both know that each other is serious, sex is largely removed from the equation, you have to do a lot of talking, and everybody knows marriage is on the table.

4 (also formerly, Many). I'm not sure what even really happens on a date, but I assume it is a whole lot of posturing to look like the best turkey on the farm so you get picked for the slaughter.

1. It can indicate a complete absence of even unattractive prospects with whom to not go out, si... er, no... er, what'd he say, huh man?

2. One fires one's gun into the air and hopes that a duck will be flying over right about then, sigh man.

3 (formerly, Many). This is probably correct, si man.

4 (also formerly, Many). Funniest thing that I've read yet, hee hee man. Reminds me of when I see the workplace pigeons during horny season.

That's not a good news... It's the GREAT news! kicking.gif

And if we repeat it often enough, it becomes MANY great news, ha ha oj.

Want me to investigate changing the "i" in "pink" to a number 1 or something, huh man?

One Americana spent the entire evening cheerily telling me stories of how she denigrated and abused her employees, justifying it all with "It makes them respect me as a strong boss." What she related was genuinely horrifying, even if only a fraction of it were true. After extricating and trying to compose myself at home, I held my usual private ceremony of tearing up her phone number and watching it flutter into the trash. The next eve, she phoned me to say that she wanted to see me again. Although stunned, I managed to say, "You've got to be kidding," and hung up, c u man.

Another Americana agreed to meet me at the beach. We were talking, and I told her that one firm, inviolable tenet of mine was that if anyone raised her hand against me in anger or committed one act of physical violence, the relationship was immediately and permanently over. She slugged me very hard on the arm with her fist, saying "Like this?" I said, "Why did you do that?" She said, in complete seriousness, "Sometimes, men have to be kept in line, and this is how to do it." Fortunately, we had taken separate cars, or I would have found a way to abandon her there, c u man.

I met yet another Americana on a dating site. She offered to have me come over to her house to cook me "a wonderful lunch -- it'll be so-o-o goooood." I agreed and showed up at 11 a.m. as she suggested. For over 3 hours, she made a big deal of going into the kitchen, spending a lot of time there, and coming out and saying, "It'll be so-o-o goooood." I was left to chat chiefly with her teenage son. Two sets of neighbors came by for different reasons, and this chick invited them for lunch. They declined in great haste, which I noticed. By 2 p.m., I was ready to eat the tablecloth. At 2:45, the chick came out of the kitchen with a plate, which held a sprig of parsley and a speck of meat about an inch in diameter. She delightedly gave it to me and said, "It'll be so-o-o goooood!" I wolfed it and excused myself as fast as I could. The nearest restaurant made its entire weekly budget from one customer shortly thereafter, sigh man.

I went out with still another Americana a few times and told her that I didn't think that anything could develop. A couple of months later, she phoned, said that she definitely wanted to see me again and to give her another chance, so I did. The first re-meeting wasn't great but wasn't bad, and she reiterated her interest in me, so I suggested a Saturday day-trip to a fairly interesting small town. While there, she refused to walk holding my hand, she showed zero signs of physical affection or even much conversational interest, and she made a point of saying that she had to be back in town by a certain time because of another obligation. On the drive home, she said that she was completely in love with her 16-year-old son and planned to keep him with her always. "He's my baby," she said. I asked, "Even when he's an adult and married himself, or if you're remarried?" "Yes!" she said. She had parked by my house, and when we got back, she said, "I want to come in." I said, "Well, look -- you said that you had to be across town very shortly now, and if we go in, it would take at least half an hour to interact with the cat, and you'd have to go anyway." She got in her car in normal fashion and drove off. I was left shaking my head. She never contacted me again. This was 1 April 2006 (no foolin'), the very day that I permanently swore off Americanas and resolved to look overseas, sea man.

The above are only a minute percentage of similar stories. The details of these meetings are less important than the psychological impact. Of course, grizzled veterans of dating need to have their antennae up for weirdness, liars, etc., and to be outstanding "screeners" before offering or agreeing to meet. However, some behavior from seemingly normal people is so bizarre that it stretches the limits of belief or defies it altogether. Could there truly be so many refugees from the insane asylum? I'll always remember how very rattled I was after each of these experiences, and many others besides. A lingering question is how anyone could have been married to these complete psychos in the first place.

Satisfied, Nola, huh man?

Thank you, D man.

Once more.....did you expect me to read that gratis ?

Lets see crazy men stories. Oh yeah. baby daddy beat me with a 2 X 4 while 9 months pregnant until my water broke (I didn't know that until 14 days later I had my daughter). Threw me down stairs and hit me with my own car (Datsun 240Z hehe....Nissan to you youngins) while also 9 months pregnant (what a week that was wooo whooo).

Stabbed me twice had to get 10 stiches. Poisoned me.

Another beat me slammed head into Pike Place Market sidewalk (I think the blood is still there) gave me black eye.

Good times indeed.

Oh and baby daddy also the night he stabbed me locked me out house took his sleeping daughter out of crib (she was months) and brought her to window and had a butcher knife to her throat.

Sad to say baby daddy He died in October. My daughter is a vibrate beautiful 34 year old mother now of 5 (new baby just here October 9th).

But I love life and people and refuse to let anything get me down. I am happy crazy,sexy and coooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllll!! goofy.gifdancin5hr.gif

When I said crazy I was thinking more inline to the type T-bone was talking about. Men take that to a whole new level.

Oh Dwheels that is horrible but I would say that is beyond crazy, you found a psycho (for lack of better word) My ex was bad and abusive but compared to the hell you went through it was nothing.

Oh my goodness, you are a very strong person for having endured all that mess. My ex was abusive, but not anything as bad as the stuff you dealt with. I agree with Ontarkie, that guy was beyond crazy.
