I think that anyone who applies rules to the opposite sex - aside from common courtesy and manners - is just setting themselves up for disappointment. If I'm expected to read a rule book before being found worthy of dating someone, chances are good that I'll throw it at his head and find someone not quite so rigid in his outlook :)

Well, that's the thing I don't understand.... I have never e-mailed anyone to say "Your stated preferences are wrong and unfair, and you should stop being a shallow, narrow-minded idiot and give someone else a try." OK, but WHY would you even BOTHER trying to "convert" me if I'm such a shallow, narrow-minded idiot in the first place? I operate under the assumption that we all have a right to our own individual standards. That doesn't mean anyone else is ever required to UNDERSTAND them -- seriously, I probably don't get about 75% of the standards I read on people's profiles, but I don't really have to -- I'm not them, and they're not me, so let's figure out what matters to US, and let everyone else do the same. Perhaps it's seen as a personal affront, and they're insulted that people don't wish to conform? I don't have many physical preferences stated in my profile. I do say that I want someone my height or taller, as it is my preference that I not loom over my date. I get emails telling me that if I'm so shallow as to judge based on height, I'll be alone forever. I've come to the conclusion that to the vast majority, failure to conform is a threat on a psychological level. I just haven't figured out what level that is, and am not sure I wish to know. |

Kids and dating

No one I date meets my daughter, unless it has gotten to the point that it is very serious and we're starting to discuss long term plans. I will not risk her getting attached and then hurt if things don't work out, and it's not fair to the guy, either.

I can really go anywhere I please, I am happy but still do miss him. If that is acknowledgment that it is the same guy, then my advice would be the exact same as it was in the original post. He sounds like a great guy and deserves to have someone who DOES love him. You said then - and now - that there is no chemistry there. And I wasn't being snide with my earlier comment. Your original post about him stated that you stayed with him because he could afford to take you places and do things that you otherwise couldn't, which is why you were debating staying vs. leaving. |

Most of the "strangers" who view my profile are 48-year-old women with 4 kids. If they write, it's to tell me that the best thing I could do would be to change my standards and start dating 48-year-old women with 4 kids because they could really make me glad I changed my mind. Then they say some nasty things about my profile and tell me I'm a POS because I don't date 48-year-old women with 4 kids. I never get e-mail from the goth/emo girls with lots of eye makeup, though. Conspiracy theories abound.... I've never understood attacking someone based on their stated preferences. What purpose does it serve? It's not as if the recipient is going to smack his/her forehead and cry "By Jove (s)he's right! I've been a fool!" or some other nonsense. If the profile states that the individual seeks a three headed alien with 9 tentacles, I'm going to accept that I am NOT said creature and click to the next profile. Perhaps that's just me. |

Yep and he was sooooooooooooo good to me. Man was I dumb. Is this the guy you posted about some time ago? The one that you had great friendship with but no chemistry, and were staying with because he could afford to take you to places you couldn't go on your own? |

It could be a case of "better the devil you know...."
What I mean is, if you're longing for companionship and not finding what you're looking for, the exs might start looking good. |

I don't think the OP was asking why people look....he was asking what went through our heads when we checked out the people who viewed us. Not sure how that qualifies as a stupid question.
I look through the viewers' profiles, & if one interests me, I'll email them and say hello. If they don't, and they didn't contact me, I figure they were just window shopping and leave it at that :) |

Profile Question

HAH!!! That is a response I would actually respond BACK to. That's hilarious. But then again, I have never sent such a generic email for a first contact anyway. Yet they still ignore me...lol I don't ignore anyone who sends a decent email, but that's just me. It takes a lot of courage to send an email to a complete stranger in the hopes that a spark will flare. If the email was courteous, I always respond in kind, even if just to thank them for the email. I can't help myself with the goofy ones, though, and I send responses such as the one I mentioned above. If I get a response in kind, it makes my day! |

meeting face to face

I have met a few people from here. Nothing came of it romantically, but they've become friends. Personally, I think it has everything to do with approach. If you're desperate and pushy, people are going to run the other way & not look back. Like others have said: relax, have fun and let things happen at their own pace :)

I have a few exs that I am friends with. However, we terminated the relationship part because we both realized that it wasn't what either wanted/needed. We still cared about one another, we just knew it was lacking.

I'm 37, and I would do it. I'm not known for my wise choices in these things, though, lol.
