• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

I don't remember her username. I met her on a forum. She wasn't mean to me. She just enjoyed arguing. That's not my thing.

What forum was that? Just curious.. would be cool and interesting if it was a Honey Badger woman.. lol.

I'm not telling. I think you like them! *lol*

I never conversed with the women. That's why I was surprised. I've spoken to men in that arena. At this point you're the only one I speak to of that stripe. You're calm. Relatively so. *grins*

Nah, you'd probably grow to like them more if you heard more from them. I guess I can picture one going off on you, but if they knew more about you they'd probably like you more. Lol.

All jokes aside, I'm particular about women. I like feminine women who are kindhearted and classy. She can be spirited. But I like don't mean girls.

Alright. Not sure I'd call them mean girls.. more women who are fed up with other women and feminism in particular. They don't like feeling damseled.

I'm not fed up with anyone. There are problems on both sides of the aisle. But moving to a place of disrespect or anger isn't an option for me. That's not how I operate.

When you lead with emotion things usually get out of control. Expressing your dislike is fine. But people like to get down and dirty. I'm not lowering myself for anyone.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Well to be fair.. a lot of them identify with being "masculine brained". They grew up being unable to relate to other women.

I wouldn't know what that's like. I'm very feminine and love being a woman. More importantly, I like my sex. We have good and bad within the lot like men do. But I don't despise them or value men more.

I don't think they hate being a woman, but how society and feminists view how a woman should be or at least has to be.

I don't know if they hate being women or not. I don't have any contact with them.

I live my life according to two principles:

I control what's coming in. No one is in my sphere unless I want them here.

I am responsible for my response. Whether it's feminism or something else. I control the affect. If I allow it to get to me it will. If I say it's meaningless then that's it.

If that's your passion or vocation; champion it. :)

The trouble is we can't accept that. We can't let people do their thing without taking offense because they aren't backing us. Or because they're different. We take it personal. That doesn't bother me.

My investment is the tipping point.

Why do we do that sometimes, I wonder? As much as I would like to say I've never fallen into that trap, I'm sure I have a few times. But you said it in just the way that I could never pin down, myself: we take it personal for some reason.

Hi Everyone,How are you all?

Oh, you know, just ... still giddy over Erin's adorable face whenever I am so blessed as to be able to gaze upon it for just a moment as we cross paths coming into/out of the lab. ^-^

Much like the good Miss Heidy whose company I had the pleasure of for about nine months there last year (but unfortunately left us to pursue a loftier career goal, and I just liked her as a friend, even though she certainly was a lovely-looking lady :)), Miss Erin has the kind of appearance, face, and stature that makes her look just too meek and innocent to be in with that "rough" lab tech crowd that we are overall. ^_^ Even including me, despite how of course I do desire to keep my words gentle and my voice soft-spoken (but I certainly have failed in that many a time, i admit).

You just look at Erin, speak with her for a moment or two, then listen to 85% of the rest of the lab crew - both man and woman - for just one minute in the typical atmosphere, and you wonder, "How did this girl fall in with this crowd?" ^_^
