I already told you...Guy's Annual Trip to Vegas....come on and play along. You will never know for sure "who" is involved. Unless there are pictures. But what about the ones that got erased? Because then there might be a problem. But hopefully not.
I was referring to within the boundaries of a relationship, but fine, I'll play....

I don't like Vegas; I think there's much better things to do with your money than gamble it away; if they look drunk, regardless of where they are, I will close them. Call me a snob, but I'm really not interested in earning a living to have it potentially whittled away on a "Guy's Annual Trip to Vegas."

Did my post meet the expectation this time?

Good gurl! BTW, you know on cruises oftentimes it involves drinking, gambling, and just flat out hell raisin' partying. Hmmm, maybe the guys should go on an annual guy's cruise. Hehehehe.

I never said it was an "Annual EH Girl's Cruise". I said these are matches that I got on EH. I think the pics show my match with her buddies on an annual cruise, meaning they go EVERY year.

I'm not sure why you would be interested in an all girls cruise? I WOULD be interested in an all girl's cruise! I seriously doubt guys would be interested in an EH guy's cruise. We like dem wimmens not the men.
Well, just make sure the guys schedule their annual cruise at the same time as the girl's cruise. So when the guy's cruise meets the girl's cruise . . . we have matches!!!

strange you should mention it! I was going to revisit the topic today of an eha cruise! we have talked about in the past.... I think we should plan it!

Anyway...well I've been to Vegas but never a cruise.

I don't see the problem. People are single. Should they stay home and hide themselves from the world?

I go to Vegas and its fun...great restaraunts, entertainment etc. There is nothing terribly sinful about it except that my friends and I usually have a great time and gain aboug 5 pounds and get a tan during months its not really fair that other people can't. I love vegas...

again what was the problem?

I am only bothered if guys post photos of themselves with women...as if they think the logic will be "I'm a guy, this sl_tty looking woman or two are standing next to me, that means I'm likable, and/or non threatening"

nah it means you have bad judgement....even if the girl looks nice. Then we just wonder if its your ex. Only acceptable if it says "that is my sister/cousin/sister-inlaw"

This is benign to me; in and of itself, there is no data to draw much conclusion.

I am not bothered by the portrayal of a consumer purchase in a profile (which this is, like a man standing in front of his car.)

I realize this is a situation which has broken many a heart, but to make a presumption that a casino equals gambling, or gambling equals poor is not warranted, in my view.

Casinos are some of the cheapest vacation / travel destinations, due to high popularity, competition, and the use of other attractions as a “loss leader.”

Wagering should be valued mathematically. Table games, properly played, give the house a low-single-digit percentage advantage. Each $10 hand of blackjack costs the player, statistically, about $0.25. At two hands per minute you’re purchasing entertainment at the rate of $30 / hr – far cheaper than most sports tickets.

However, casinos will discount, reimburse, or give away parking, drinks, meals, rooms, and more based on how much you play. Treated as a vacation, your goal is to calculate the best value to you of the subsidized perks for the out of pocket costs plus expected value of the house margin on the wagering.

It may or may not be attractive to any given person, but that can be said for any form of vacation or entertainment. When presented with a match who has photos of himself in a casino – especially if he is otherwise appearing to have his act together – I think that is the way to view it.

I understand and respect where you are coming from. However, when all I see is a picture, I really have no idea how he is going to go about spending his money. I only have past experience on which to draw, and unfortunately, it's not positive.

However, approached with common sense, then I might be able to be a bit more flexible in my line of thinking. Please understand, though, that I do look at the complete person, and not just one tiny aspect of them to say, "Yeah, I'll give him a chance," or "Ummmmm...nope."

I have gotten matches with similar photos and I am a lot older than your target audience.

The fact that my match went on a cruise with some of her single girl friends is a positive in that I know that she likes to go on cruises.

Howsomeever, the word "Annual" in the caption is going to be a negative. The implication is that if we are in a serious relationship that she is going to go on this cruise with her single girl friends anyway. Not exactly my way of thinking. A further implication would be that the reason for her to be going on this cruise is because she is trolling for something better.
