To have a place to discuss adult topics like dating, sex, intimacy etc can be discussed without every prude self righteous person who has no actual idea of the context butts in?

The trouble with private groups is they die away because there is no real way for new people who would appreciate and benefit from the conversations to join. I am still pissed because finding a partner is something very important to me and I am realizing that I am just not attracted to the usual "pool" and exploring my own self created limitations.

A girlfriend actually said it, men in our area just aren't our types. I never really thought of it that way but she is right. We go out dancing and I once asked her "if you were into one night stands, would you pick ANYONE here in the general ballpark of our age?" Nope. ( I have sons in their mid 20s and have zero interest in the cougar thing personally )

I am in a bad mood anyway right now, but I am just pretty sick of the easily offended and post patrolers.

Wouldn't it be nice...

......if we were olderThen we wouldn't have to wait so longAnd wouldn't it be nice to live togetherIn the kind of world where we belong....

(The title of the post reminded me of the Beach Boys song)

It was the first thing I thought of

We think alike? I'm scared!.....MOMMY!!!!!!

Jane, I missed the post as well, but I've never seen a post from you that I found objectionable in any way. Heal quickly and know you have many cyber friends here.

@@CowgirlJane

We are all adults here. You can say what you want to say. No need to apologize for stating an opinion.

We got your back @@CowgirlJane

Heal up and have fun. Don't worry about the whiners.

Jane, your posts have been instrumental for me as a longtime band patient converting to sleeve and I admire your hard work and dedication, but most of all your spunk. You have a real joie de vivre that is truly inspiring not only in the context of weight loss but in life in general.

Keep posting about this stuff. I replied to your previous post but not sure you got a chance to read it. I wonder if it would be better if certain boards did not show up in the recent or trending bars on the right. But then again, I would have missed your post which I thought was an important topic and one that could have been debated without name calling and that it could have broadened a lot of people's horizons. This brown girl (married to a white boy) thanks you for your contributions!

We got your back @@CowgirlJane

Yep, I think the two pirates can take 'em down Cowgirl. But between you and Babbs, they really don't have a chance, but if you need some muscle, I'm there.

I actually have been surprised by the quality,frankness and relative lack of crudeness on this site and the posts. I have to go through many posts even on car forums where someone with the IQ of the average houseplant throws an f-bomb. The discussions here have been fun. Even when talking about sex, drugs and Protein for the most part people have been a great mixture of tough love and support. There are the occasional exceptions, but I'm not looking for perfection (esp. on the internet).

I didn't see the post but say what you want! F the people who are negative, there is more to just weight loss than eating right and drinking your fluids. Keep the posts coming!

Dang I miss all the good stuff

Anyhow yeah what everyone said--don't listen to the naysayers. Hang in there!

Yeah that.

@ VSGAnn2014 you made me laugh!

Some people just LOVE the DRAMA and the more people they can make miserable along with them the happier they are.

Man I wish I had seen that post.

How did I miss it. Instead of following a post, I need a button that says

"follow CG Jane"

I do have a singles board I participate in on OH. It's not a part of regular OH. It doesn't show up in the topics or anything.

I like BP better. Way more topics to cover. What in the heck was that post about that it got deleted?

@@VSGAnn2014

That cartoon made me laugh right out loud!

I was having a very bad day, posted something that was a meaningful discussion topic about dating. Someone decided to get all offended and told me I shouldn't be posting unsupportive things on WLS forum. Yes, it was on the singles forum and it had nothing to do with weight.

My mood was not good, recovering from a fairly series surgical complication and I just didn't need the drama so I asked for it to be deleted.

What I would like is a place to discuss adult topics....like adults....but clearly an open internet forum isn't really that place. @@Oregondaisy, sometimes I don't have the patience, it was just easier if it all went away.
