I agree, buttons. If someone starts up a conversation with me then I take the time to chat with them. I've met women who are interested in dogs (my passion), and while they aren't the type whom I would date, I have no problem making friends with them.

I think sometimes people see online dating as "all or nothing". If someone contacts them and they don't find them attractive, the mentality is "Nope, not the one. Next."

Strange that he would look at your profile, email you and then turn around and say he was too ugly. Did you look at his profile to confirm or was he just one of those "please tell me I'm cute for the 100th time today" type of people?

Confidence is one thing. Narcissism is quite another.

Quite modest, aren't we?

You hit the nail right on the head. At least for the U.S. The media is SO obsessed with weight. Who's gotten fat? Who's gotten thin? Who's gotten plastic surgery? Etc., etc.

I remember when the movie Titanic came out and there was this magazine with pics of Kate Winslet and Drew Barrymore on the cover. The title was, "Is fat in?"

I have always been attracted to bigger women. And let me clarify that I mean up to 200 pounds if she wears it well. Some men dig curves, large natural breasts and a big ole bootie.

If she isn't over her previous relationship, then you need to take things VERY slow until she is completely over it. Nothing worse that jumping into a relationship with someone who can't let go of the past.

I did back in my early 20's and I wouldn't do it again. Serious baggage, alcoholic and drug user. Worst relationship ever.

Change "intrested" to "interested".

Change "goig" to "going".

Add the word "to" after going.

Add a few more pics.

My two cents.

Use the other photo for main profile pic. Remove the photo you are using now. Add some more pics especially some with you smiling.

Add the word "and" after "I am a good listener".

Add a space between "donot".

Change "lier" to "liar".

Change "somone" to "someone".

Add a space between "alot".

Go into more detail about your interests.

Go into a little more detail about the type of woman you are looking for.

My two cents.

So which photo is actually you? Most of them look exactly like the actress from the Legally Blond movie (Warren's girlfriend).

I would lose all the pics that aren't you. Very confusing.

Good profile otherwise.

If you are only interested in those within your area, you should set up your email settings to reflect it. Otherwise, you are going to get people from all over emailing you.

My two cents.

Looks play a part in finding a mate. Friendship, that's something completely different.

It's pretty hard to do the Mutual Match with a picture of a butterfly or cartoon character.

I agree with the other poster who mentioned they have something to hide. Either that or they are not confident in how they look.

There was a post earlier this week about looks vs. inner beauty. One woman said that the only thing that matters is the inside. I challenged her to get hot and bothered by the Elephant Man.

There has to be some sort of physical attraction. However, personality, demeanor and chemistry play a huge role in whether you pursue the relationship or not.

It depends on how long you have known him. 2 weeks, I'm running. 2 months, sure, why not.

Again, I would do this by phone. You will be able to hear the tone in his voice, if he hesitates with his responses, etc.

Doing that by email is kinda high schoolish in my opinion, but whatever floats your boat.

double post. sorry.

Not in a message. Over the phone. I don't see any harm in asking.

Or Cool Whip.

I've never been corn-holed but that doesn't mean I want to try it.

I think the Christian ranting forum is down the left just past the "accept Christ or burn, baby, burn" room.

I'm the same height as you, redbeast98, and never ran into any problems. I knew a guy back in high school that was our height and he dated a girl who was 6'. It takes all kinds, I guess.

Ditto, but not as big as those in the "beer goggles" photo.

If she wears it well, I'll go up to 200 pounds.
