A thread for Single Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I don't know if this has been covered already, or if anyone will relate...

But is anyone else nervous about starting a new relationship, and telling them you have a band? What if they're disgusted? Some people can be so judgemental, which is why I haven't told anyone other than my immediate family.

It's times like these I wish I just had a husband already!

Yeah, pretty much none of us has told anyone we are dating. Once a good relationship is established, some have told and they have been understanding. As for me, I haven't even been able to find anyone to date!

I got a free 3 month subscription to Match.com. I got an email saying if I tried this face cream , and only paid the $5 shipping, they would give me a free membership. So I signed up. I need to figure out a way to sneak in

my email address. Most people around here have profiles listed, but don't pay, so they can't receive messages.

Any ideas on how I can do that?

Set up a free yahoo e-maill address to use for match.com use only. Of course if you post a picture they can still find you.

That's the problem. Match wants everyone to pay their fee. After you pay, you pick up your messages at Match. You aren't allowed to give out your email address. I have seen people sneak it in while they are describing themselves. I could set up a new yahoo address. One guy said you can find me at the y place if you look for (he had a bunch of letters strung together) Nobody around here wants to pay, so their profiles are useless.

Gotcha! I misunderstood. My thoughts are that anyone really serious about looking is going to pay the money. I probably wouldn't date someone that was to cheap to pay or couldn't afford the fee. Put a great profile that will make them want to pay to meet you. I'm sure once they check you out they will pay. :wink_smile:

are you good at writing? I could use some help in jazzing up my profile.

I could give you my sign in name if you wanted to take a look at it.

The part about me reading is something they changed when I sent it in for approval. I don't want to fix it yet cause I messaged a couple of guys.

I suck at writing profiles. Mine are always practically blank. I can never think of what to write. I'll take a look at it if you want me to. Sometimes it is easier to do it for other people.

I've basically just come to the point where I'm tired of looking. I'm going in the route of not looking and hopefully one day, someone will come to me when I least expect it. I hear that I'm so beautiful all of the time but nobody ever hits on me. My confidence level has definately gone up, so I don't know what the deal is. Maybe the guys in Houston are wusses :-)

I'm so freaking scared of rejection. Actually on Wed night, I finally got the courage to go up to some guy and he was nice but didn't ask for my number....

manatee, guys usually end up with the rejection since they tend to be the crueler ones when doing the rejecting while showing off in front of their friends so once that happens, most women just say screw it, let them do the aproaching instead.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
