Like I said, “great marketing tool for business.”

I love technology, but find most social media to be a complete waste of time. Give me real conversation and face to face interaction any day of the week. I hear all the talk of how “connected we are” as a society. I call BS, the iPhone generation consists of the most socially awkward people I’ve ever met in my life. They can text and send Snapchat messages all day long, but can’t carry on a conversation to save their soul. Damn, I’m starting to sound like my father! 😲 Social media is a great marketing tool for my business, but off hours I’d rather look you in the eyes and hear your voice. okay, stepping down off my soapbox now.

Gotta say, I’d have to give him some serious consideration. Again, don’t agree with him on everything but in my opinion he did a pretty respectable job as gov in Colorado. My initial thought is he’s a better choice than we had on the ballot in 2016, from either party.

I’m with you my friend. I disagreed with a lot of his policy (not all), but have a ton of respect for the man. He’s the kind of guy I’d love to sit down with, have a beer and a good long conversation. Just don’t get me started on the affordable care act...good idea in principle, but never carried out properly. When healthcare premiums become more than your mortgage (truth), I fail to see the affordability in that. But alas, that’s best kept for a different thread.

I tend to lean more to the conservative side of the fence, especially where fiscal policy is concerned. I am an independent and consider the far right and the far left equally as dangerous to the well being of the country. Unfortunately there are too many of each holding office today and they are so entrenched in their ideology that dialogue and compromise are not an option...hence, nothing gets done. All that said, as a country we need to return to a time of respect for differing opinions before we tear ourselves apart. The following clip aired over the weekend on 60 minutes. It’s Bill Clinton reading a letter that George Bush left in the Oval Office for him. This is exactly the kind of respect we all need to show. RIP President Bush. Job well done.

Well done, Bob Richards. All my rep points to you!

Yes, please. This is perfect. I’ve had a couple of ladies do this and it sure helps. Makes me look like I belong and know where I am. I hate walking into a hotel lobby and having to look around to find the elevator.

Yes, and they’re hiding alien remains at Area 51 and the moon landing was fake. Any other good conspiracy theories you care to share with us?

Can’t say I have and perhaps it’s best if I don’t . 😂😂

Can’t say I’ve heard of that fetish, but if you can keep a straight face and maintain eye contact while asking, then by god I hope she’s willing, you deserve it.

That’s becoming all too apparent.

Show some class.

Asshat nothing, this guy is a first class asshole. Mods, I’m sorry if I’m not allowed to say that, just calling a spade a spade. Violet we are all glad you are okay and thankful for all the support you’re receiving from the decent people on this board. Time for all the great ladies to pass this guys info around and get his sorry ass booted. If ever it was okay to out someone, I think this qualifies. What he did is criminal. Ladies, make his sorry ass miserable!

I saw that it’s your birthday weekend. Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Birthday, beautiful lady. 🎁🎂🎉🎈 Hope you have a great one!

Just make sure the chicken is cooked to 165 degrees. Wouldn’t want her getting salmonella poisoning.

If you’re talking about asking a lady for something specific, I say ask away. Chances are it’s not the first time she’s been asked. If it’s something really “off the wall” you might want to ask someone you’ve seen before so she at least knows you.

I’ll join that minority with you, Mr Lightning. Unwrapping the package is at least half the fun. It spoils the surprise if you’ve already seen what’s inside.

Dani, you keep doing what you’re doing. I think you have an excellent variety of pictures and I personally like that you change them up fairly often. Normally I would say add more selfies, but your professional photos are natural looking and not overly photoshopped like you often see. Keep ip the good work! For anyone else interested in my opinion, I like a good mix of selfies and pro shots, but please keep them real, I am quite proficient with photoshop so I can tell when a photo has been touched up as I think a lot of people can. An overly processed picture throws up a red flag...”what’s she hiding?” And for the selfie crowd, please no pouty fish lips an lose the “cute” Instagram ears.

What Zelda and Tide said, plus be a gentleman when you contact a lady. Be prepared to follow her screening requirements. Since you’re new with no references, many will require a little more info if they will agree to see you. If you’re uncomfortable with what she asks, politely decline and move on. There are lots of “newbie friendly” and “light screening” ladies in Denver and a lot of very reputable ladies that are well worth providing whatever info they ask you for. Key word is reputable. Otherwise, be smart and have fun.

My favorites list is getting out of control. Seems like every time I log on here I run across a profile, read a review or get a pm from someone that gets my attention and ends up on the list. At this rate, it will be years, or a winning lottery ticket, before I make a dent. And that doesn’t include the lovely ladies that I’ve seen and am dying to see again. Yeah, real first world problem here! Perhaps I need to bump up my criteria, or maybe it’s because we have too many incredible, beautiful women in Denver. Nah! What a country! Guess I’ll keep doing what I can and continue to be eternally grateful to the lovely ladies who make this hobby so much fun! Happy Holidays to you all!

Absolutely correct my friend. I always like to see a new face introducing herself and participating on the forums. Adds to her credibility. Same for us guys. When I was new, I decided the best way to be taken seriously was to participate. So far, so good.

Sounds like there’s a lot of upside to being a regular. I’ll need to start working on that.

So true. In the same manner, every one of us guys started out with zero references. Fortunately there was a special lady that took a chance on me. We all have to start at zero. Just be smart about it.

In that situation you can’t afford to give your opponent a second chance at you. More importantly, thank you for your service, sir!

Good point, Bit. Unfortunately, you are correct sir. This does happen too often and then it becomes a matter of self defense. In my younger years I was heavily involved in the martial arts. We were taught that self defense is never about becoming the aggressor. It's about protecting yourself and trying to de-escalate the situation while inflicting the least amount of bodily harm to the aggressor. Extreme or lethal force is only a last resort. None of us know the circumstances behind this video, but to my untrained eye, Kareem Hunt does not appear to be acting in self defense. This is an elite level nfl athlete shoving and kicking a 19 year old girl. He needs help and I hope as a result of this act and what he stands to lose, he reaches out for it. I'm all about forgiveness and second chances.
