RE: I have a question
hm difficult to find good solution, maybeif u work from home and u have some messenger u can chat on cc and show a lil extra on messenger or u could make new screenname in adult and only tell/use it with the special guys, apart from that all u can do is take a chance or not show anything to anyone or send few saucy pics to the special ones.
RE: I have a question
Two nicks - two different services. Clear and easy and who cares?
Maybe if you will "show/do a little more" for only certain regulars I suggest your "Adult" screen be set to Private Show (which needs a password) and ONLY those guys which you send there can see. Of course I suggest you keep the price the same or maybe a little lower if you really like that person.

Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the other travels at 60 miles an hour. A bird starts flight at the same location as the faster train, flying at a speed of 90 miles per hour. When it reaches the slower train, it turns around, flying the other direction at the same speed. When it reaches the faster train again, it turns around -- and so on. When the trains collide, how far will the bird have flown?
RE: 1
Since the trains are 100 miles apart, and the trains are traveling toward each other at 40 and 60 mph, the trains will collide in one hour. The bird will have been flying for an hour at 90 miles per hour at that point, so the bird will have traveled 90 miles.

RE:math=mathematic.

English is - Mathematics = and abbreviated to Maths

RE:math=mathematic.
Why though? In British English does the word mathematics refer to more than one thing? Is it a plural noun?
RE:math=mathematic.
Just as there are many branches of science, eh?
So in British English, it's correct to say "Maths are the most sexual/erotic subjects" instead of "Maths is the most sexual/erotic subject"?

I am English but don't claim to have studied the fine points of my language , I would think that ..
both would be ok, and I would say "Maths is the most sexual/erotic subject"?
Tho i don't personally think of it as at all erotic, maybe from a non adult perspective ..only lol
Mathematics like -umm Electronics is a name...covering a wide range of finer topics and subjects , as far as I understand.
maybe not the best example but first that came to mind.
I have never heard the word Math spoken in English -I have heard the word Mathematic used as a singular item in a sentence such as
the mathematic solution was x
a singular example
RE:maths=mathematics.
While that may have been used I would say that the correct way would be to say the mathematical solution.
RE:maths=mathematics.
'Mathematics is.../Maths is...(BritEng)/Math is....(AmEng)' is correct because Mathematics is an uncountable noun.
RE:maths=mathematics.
An uncountable noun referring to a single, collective kind of thing, yes? It just seems kind of awkward to my American ear, I guess. Keeping the "s" at the end of the word after elision from "mathematics" makes it seem as if there's an intent to make it clear that it should be thought of as plural and should rightly be used with plural forms of verbs and such.
RE:maths=mathematics.
I agree and so often AmEng is so much more logical and sensible than BritEng. The latter suffers from a bad decision made in the middle ages to be historical in form (based upon Old French). Americans forged a far more fluid and modern verison which is the true international English now ofc. Nevertheless, I still feel compelled to say Maths and not Math - just habit I guess.
RE:maths=mathematics.
I dont agree its the true international version at all.
i chat with people from many countries , and many do not seem to like the American versions
I agre many of these countries learnt their English from England and English schools and links with England ..
As did most I guess ,,
so My Australian , New zealand, Indian , south American (with english schooling ) Pakistani . west indies , etc etc... seem to use mainly English,,

sure and I teach BritEng nevertheless, it's cos of USA that Eng became international - especially since we Brits lost our fkn empire!
RE:maths=mathematics.
No that would not be correct. It has something to do with Latin neuter plurals apparantly.
But I am assuming that in the USA math is still short for the word mathematics rather than mathematic ?
I have to admit I find it one of the more irritating American sayings.

Similar to plural nouns like "data" and "media" that owe their weirdness to a Latin etymology too, you mean?
Yes, "math" is short for "mathematics" in the U.S.
And yeah, I have to admit that "maths" kind of bugs me too. It just sounds very strange. :P

RE:maths=mathematics.
One thing we can all agree on, Gorty has a genius for getting us all going on the most obscure of topics! I'm still struggling with the notion of math/maths being erotic. Gorty darling, why do you put these ideas into my head? I just want a quiet life!
The Origin of the British & American usage of Maths vs. Math.
“hmm,”, First off, “oh” is right; “math” is an American colloquialism. And yes, mathematics did refer to and continues to refer to “more than one thing,” but the referents of the middle ages—that Ally alluded to---are not the same as those of the modern era.
Ally, I don’t believe the difference in British & American usage---in this case at least--- is attributable to the Old French influence being stronger in Britain than America. We Americans are no less heirs to the legacy of William the Conqueror. But your point is well taken insofar as the French influence no doubt became less for those Englishmen who crossed the Atlantic. [The State of Virginia is celebrating the 400th aniversary of the founding of the Jamestown Colony in 1607.] Nor, INYF, is the explanation to be found in Latin grammar.
The answer, I believe, can be best understood in two ways: 1) Understanding the origin of the word mathematic(s) and 2) Understanding how the word was used in the context of the Seven Liberal Arts that were the foundation for learning in the European Universities (Oxford, Paris, Bologna, etc.) that were founded in the Middle Ages.
The origin of the word mathematic is from the Greek “mathematikos” < “mathema,” meaning something learned. Thus it had a much more general meaning, which is still used today when we refer to someone as a “polymath,” i.e. someone who is knowledgeable about many things.
At the universities in the Middle Ages the word mathematics (plural) referred to the older four of the seven Liberal Arts, known as the quadrivium: geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and music. Later, the term mathematics referred to branches of mathematics as we use them today. Obviously astronomy and music would not be included in this modern sense of the word. But it makes sense to conclude that mathematics in the modern sense would be regarded as a collective noun, hence “math.” But if, as Ally maintains, British usage often retains its historical roots, then “maths” (i.e. things learned) makes sense, since we would hardly lump geometry, music and astronomy as a collective noun. So, just as we might call them subjects (plural), it would make sense to call them “maths” in the old sense. And, come to think of it, INYF, since the common language in the Medieval Universities was Latin, this was no doubt reflected in the Latin language (singular: mathematicus; plural: mathematica), but I’m still not persuaded this provides an explanation of different usages by Brits & Yanks…What about the Aussies and Kiwi’s, what do you guys say? (My bet is you use the British form!)

RE: The most sexual/erotical subject
I disagree. Although I was always quite good at math and got good grades, it was always my least favorite subject in school. I never thought of it in an erotic sense. When I think of the word erotic I think of something that awakens primal feelings within a person without requiring conscious thought about it, as if more on an instinctual level. To me, math is too analytical to be considered erotic. Perhaps you could offer us more insight as to why it is erotic to you.
RE: The most sexual/erotical subject
Yes Gortensia I find maths very erotic. When I add up all my money (which doesn't take long) and find I've got enough for a video I get an instant hard on :D
RE: The most sexual/erotical subject

RE: The most sexual/erotical subject

RE: The most sexual/erotical subject
Maybe its like the financial part of math. All the bank ads always say, "You will receive a severe interest penalty for early withdrawel."
RE: The most sexual/erotical subject
Gortensia,
You pose a very interesting question, as you often do.:) As regards math---or “maths” as the British would say---I'm with Captain Caveman. I too disagree; and I share his curiosity as to why you find it the most “erotical” [rare usage]. I suppose one could make the case for it being so, but I think most people would agree with the Captain’s observation that “math is too analytical to be considered erotic.”
Again to quote the erudite Captain: “When I think of the word erotic I think of something that awakens primal feelings within a person without requiring conscious thought about it, as if more on an instinctual level.” In this regard, music, dance, art and literature seem more intrinsically erotic. Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” caused a riot at its premier in Paris in 1913. And while mathematics has created extraordinary revolutions, I know of no instance in which the introduction of a new mathematical theory caused a riot. An intellectual “riot,” perhaps, but not one precipitated by its appeal to peoples’ primal instincts. Math, as a product of man’s highest power—reason—stands as a polar opposite to those things that are a part of man’s animal nature. Thus, it seems almost self-evident that a subject involving (or representing) bodily expression is regarded as inherently more erotic than something involving the faculty of reason alone. Dancers and athletes are often sex idols; math geeks are not! lol! And who would not be mocked if he or she were to argue that the Pythagorean Theorem is more erotic than the “Dance of the Seven Veils?”
Having said that, again I ask why you find math erotic? Is there a particular branch that you find most erotic? For example, do you find geometry more erotic than algebra, or do you find them equally erotic. (Not to be a smart ass, but does thinking about the quadratic equation or any mathematical proposition ever make you horny? In other words, is there a carnal element in your love of math? I ask because I can understand someone masturbating thinking about some sex idol, but I cannot fathom someone doing same while thinking of the Pythagorean Theorem!)
Although I disagree with you, I think I understand your opinion. Perhaps you would agree with the American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay who wrote, “Euclid alone looked on beauty bare.” If one considers that the erotic often has something to do with beauty, then gazing upon the essence of “beauty” (which Millay implies lies in the bare symmetry of geometry), is to gaze upon the essence, or unseen skeleton of the erotic. Perhaps. But when one is excited by the sinuous motions of a dancer, it is not the underlying symmetry or biophysical descriptions one might make of the phenomenon that we experience, but something else. It is something primary (or primal), something pre-rational. The analytical element comes after the event. For example, musicologists can do a harmonic analysis of a Beethoven symphony, but this does not constitute the essence of that work of art. Their descriptions are rational and true, but it does not fully describe or account for the act of creating that work of art. If it did, anyone could learn how to write music with the unique genius that was Beethoven’s. Yes, it is possible to imitate, but imitation is just that: imitation. It is not original genius.
A good mind is one of the elements that make a woman sexy to me. I much prefer a woman of ordinary looks (I don’t say ugly!) who has a good mind, to a woman of great physical beauty, who is dumb. So, I can understand how the element of the “rational” appeals to you, but as for its immediate erotic appeal, I’ll take a dance over an equation any day!

Captain, Of course they do, and they are disproportionately blond. As George Carlin quipped, "There are far too many blonds in heaven as far as I'm concerned." You've got to get up to speed on eugenics as applied to the angelic realm! Lol!
RE: Marriage
AIRYGIRL, We too use the expression "mouse-brown," but it doesn't have a positive connotation. It's funny you should mentioned those who color their hair blond---which we sometimes here in the US refer to as "bleached blonds." A host here, Stripperella, who is a smart, funny lady, became a blond some months back. I tried to talk her out of it. I thought her natural brown hair was quite lovely, but she said she had empirical evidence that blonds are patronized more by guests that brunettes. I hope for her sake, it has improved her earnings, otherwise it was all in vain!
Frankly, I don't understand why some women engage in what a friend of mine calls, "chemical warfare," i.e. bleached hair, tons of makeup, overwhelming (often cheap) perfume, etc. Such women seem so phony to me. What they think enhances their beauty actually detracts from it.

Of course. It is the man's responsibility to provide support to the best of his ability for himself and his family. That is his job. It is also his job to protect his assets. For instance, on a certain day I own this and this and that and this. It is mine, it belongs only to me.
On the next day I get married. From that day forward all the things we buy and earn together belong to both to be shared. But if I have a big house and big investments from earlier she can't have them. She only owns what we get while together. Of course, I will have an honorable good wife and we won't separate. This is only if she is a Gold-Digging Green Card Bride.

“the fiancée,”
You are right, but "h's" reply reminded me of the line, "Yeah, I got a divorce. My wife got half of everything I own; her lawyer got the other half." lol!
I'm not sure how things play out in the UK, but in the US (where I understand 60-70% of all lawyers reside, though the population is about 4% of the world's population) divorces are often quite nasty. My take is that attorneys encourage the two parties NOT to communicate. They encourage discord so they can rack up billable hours. Couples who divorce could save themselves a whole lot of grief AND MONEY if they could communicate rationally without the inflammatory intervention of lawyers.
Shakespeare was right: "First we kill all the lawyers." Though lawyers like to cite this line as a pre-emptive move against criticism, I don’t think Shakespeare was kidding. For my part, I think US society would be much better off with fewer lawyers. Of course we need some lawyers, and good lawyers in every branch of the law. But we could well do without the late-night-TV accident lawyer class that has grown up in the US. (Btw, can attorneys advertise on TV in the UK?) What an affront this class—and to some extent the corporate class*--- is to the majesty of the Law itself!
Some years ago I joined an organization called HALT (Help Abolish Legal Tyranny), which is committed to exposing how one can easily do on one’s own (or with minimal assistance) many ordinary legal operations, such as simple wills, divorces, power of attorney, etc. It has been successful promoting legislation that allows paralegals to hang a shingle and prepare such documents at a fraction of the cost an attorney would charge---who would have his paralegal prepare it in any case. These operations are quite perfunctory and there is no need to pay an attorney a huge fee for such. (Needless to say, the American Bar Association opposes HALT's agenda.) But attorneys engage in obscurantism. They like to give people the impression that they are needed for the most fundamental of legal proceedings. Rubbish!
It’s a well-worn phrase here in the US that, “A man who represents himself has a fool for a client.” In certain matters that is decidedly true, but not at all true with regard to the simple matters I cited above.
*In the US there is a hierarchy in the legal profession. Criminal lawyers are at the bottom. Lawyers from “blue-blood” (historically that meant old-line, old-money, Protestant) firms representing the old corporations are at the top.

RE: She can't say....
Melomane, not all divorce lawyers try to spread discord between the parties. More often, they're the calm ones trying to convince a vengeful client not to do stupid things just to get revenge. The vast majority of US divorces never go before a judge (I think it's 95% or so). Sure, some of the compromise is only reached because the lawyer convinces the client that's how it will be decided if it goes to court. But that's still compromise. My divorce lawyer was very good about proposing steps to save money. As long as people are getting married, they will get divorced, so it's not as if the good ones are hurting for clients.
RE: She can't say....
People stereotype and generalize about lawyers just as they do CC hosts.
RE: She can't say....
you're right. and when it comes to any professionals who earn good money, it's always the socialists who whine and try to characterize them in simplistic, sweeping terms as evil.

Money, you got lots of friends,

They don't come no more.

RE: Marriage
depends, how much money you willing to shell out to her, her family, her friends and her boyfriend?
RE: Marriage
Lol, you forgot the scam agency that set it up too!...."Hey, have I gotta' deal for you!"
RE: Marriage
You have to be careful. I talked to a girl from Russia online for months. We got on great, spent a week together and she was totally angelic. Almost perfect. Got me thinking wow, I've never met a woman like this before. Saw her a few more times. Each time for about a week or two. Once she realised that she "had me" she got worse and worse. She went from angelic to whining, complaining, criticising, never satisified, "I want, I want, I want". Just remember - the novelty for both of you wears off and then the reality hits home. Thank goodness I didn't marry her!
There's nothing "special" about Eastern European women over western women. Just always think "what would this girl have been like if she had grown up in my country". In time, she'll get half way there at least, I promise you!

RE: To all the girls who love BRAD PITT
Why would it piss off the guys? It's not like any of the women actually have a chance with Brad Pitt. He has his own Angelina for now until he gers sick of her liek he did with Jennifer Aniston.
RE: To all the girls who love BRAD PITT
cuz he will not get bad with his age until much later. Angelina will be replaced by the new girl of the year soon.
RE: To all the girls who love BRAD PITT

RE: To all the girls who love BRAD PITT
I myself prefer a honest host more than a liar but maybe thats just me
RE: To all the girls who love BRAD PITT
I think you have a right to an opinion ,,true..
but just slagging off an individual and hiding like a coward is very poor and pathetic,
Charlotte might be many things , and many have an opinion it seems
but one thing she is never is boring,,
Certainly enlightens the forum with an independent womans opinion and thats nice to see.
Any she is certainly cute ,, and fun...

Seems its (the ass ) so great - that your too shy to have anyones opinion but your own...maybe over inflated self opinion..???
Strange how your that attacker, hiding away , and your target is quite happy to accept that her ass maybe not the best ..
seems one has humility and tact and not self obsessed and you ??

To things past
With rue my heart is laden,
for golden friends I had.
For many a rose lipped maiden,
and many a light foot lad.
By brooks too broad for leaping,
the light foot lads are laid.
The rose lipped girls are sleeping,
in fields where flowers fade.

RE: To things past
With loss my heart was broken
That none would have no care
About my poem they had taken
And gave no mention there
Of this poor Shropshire lad
Whom no one ever missed
Dwelling on his youth
And all the maids he kissed
So stranger please pause
As decent men should do
Say it was mine not yours
Put credit where credit's due.

RE: A question to everybody
if he's your x-bf who the hell cares who he falls in love with? at least you could get some $ out of him at the same time
RE: A question to everybody
I'm sure most boyfriends and girlfriends dont know, But if they DO KNOW! I bet they know to a certain point and not the whole story and i bet only only some have a clear picture of whats goin on!
RE: A question to everybody
Because even if he is her ex- she wants her hooks in him. Typical girl-child behavior.
RE: A question to everybody
i have a wife. and i visit CC
she knows about it. no problem. why?

CC is superficial. my wife isnt and she knows that too

its only as superficial as u want it to be..
some host are that way too..

even becoming friends outside of cc, and keeping in touch / meeting / visiting / after leaving cc..
so your own choice...
im hoping if i re marry . i would not need here at all..
tho i guess its a safer option than real meetings..

RE: A question to everybody
as u've said it, one owes their own views. at least we could agree to disagree ... lest going off-topic! lol
what if my wife visits CC? lol, we'd normally do it together and i dont care, neither is she!
but things would take a totally different perspective should either one of us actually work here.....
p/s so hmm... re marry?

RE: A question to everybody
my gf knows and she's ok with it, so long as I don't spend too much. She says as long as I'm not out there really picking up women she's happy. She likes watching porn as much as I do.
RE: A question to everybody
your gf tells you how to spend YOUR money & you think you're lucky?
RE: Stupid and true
You're young you're beautiful you should have partied as all too soon your partying days will be behind you :(
"young you're beautiful"
How do you know if she is "young you're beautiful" if you don't know her screen name?
RE:
good detective work detective.
However, by her own admission she says that she is young and beautiful. I'd take that as a confession unless it was under duress.
On the other hand, I say I'm old and ugly - hence no party invites for me this weekend. But you only have my word for that.

RE: Oh God, Brad Pitt drives me insane!
Yes, having looked at your pics, I am convinced that Brad could think of nothing nicer than your suggested place for his lips. I hope this helps.

RE: Host Name
so long as they don't start naming themselves after Backstreet Boys or Bucks Fizz songs, I'll be happy ... although MakinYourMindUp is kind of a fitting name for this whole pick-the-online-skanky-ho thing ... oh fuck me! - I actually know a Bucks Fizz song ... how fucking pitifully sad is that!!?
RE: Host Name
Very sad ... especially as you were going for a Bananarama screen name but got scared
Yet more questions for hosts
Is it possible for a host to like a member too much such that you do not wish to chat with him ever again? Is this because you feel that nothing will ever come to the relationship and that it is better to just end it so your feelings won't be hurt? Or is this just another ploy to get rid of some member you may find annoying?
RE: Yet more questions for hosts
its possible,but when that happens its already to late for not hurting anyones feelings
RE: Yet more questions for hosts
lol, I like you so I won't talk with you...lol. Yeah that's what my friends say to me...lol
