I tend to agree with what you have posted. I also think for men and women an online format gives them more "courage" to approach others. Like I said earlier if you are going to take the chance in approaching someone be prepared to be rejected. I have decided that I will just delete those I am not interested in. At least that way the rejected have a reason to call me names. LOL

Well I suppose I should just not reply at all...probably what I will do in the future. I just don't like being rude, but apparently being rude is more accepting.

Ok, I am new to this site but was on one very much like this before and I am running into the same thing as on the last site. I receive an email from a man that is interested in me and I am not interested back so I politely email them back thanking them for their interest but I don't feel the same interest and wish them the best of luck in finding someone else. Then lo and behold I get an email back being insulted with various names, etc.

Being rejected in the world of dating is COMMON. I have been rejected many times but I am not going to insult the man rejecting me because he just doesn't feel a connection. That is how life works. If you take the chance to email someone with interest you have to also take the chance you will be rejected. I sent a few emails out to men I thought would be a good match and was politely told to take a hike or not even responded to at all. It is all part of the dating game. If you cannot handle rejection then I highly suggest you get some help to deal with those issues or don't take the chance at all.

K I feel better now ...rant over.

Well last time I checked I was a "real" person and fully admit that I am a liberal. The joke would appear to be on the Conservatives at this point and time. Even the Republican party has stated that they need to broaden their base and "change" things within their party. Our soon to be former President left a very large black stain on the Republican party that is going to be hard to remove and don't even get me started on what Palin did. Now there is a joke.

At any rate, I have a very clean conscience when I go to bed at night because I didn't vote for Bush in his elections nor did I vote for McCain in this one. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat there is no questioning this country is in dire straights and it desperately needs to be fixed. We are going to disagree on who we think should be fixing this mess but instead of calling us Democrats/Libs "loons" maybe you should take a deep breath and think before you speak and be open to other's opinions instead of insulting them. You may not agree but tolerance is a great thing. Try it you may like it.

Good point! We can always wonder on the what ifs...my personal opinion is that if Gore had won, we would be a little better off today than we are now. We would have saved billions a year because we would have been fighting a war in Iraq and the U.S. would be much farther along in renewable energy.

Everything about the last 8 years in the Bush Administration has been pretty much illegal. Bush and Cheney bent the laws of this country and the world as they saw fit with no consequences. So I highly doubt anyone let alone Cheney is going to be hung.

It almost makes you wonder if lying about a blow job is even worth being impeached anymore.

Its an open forum and there is bound to be something written somewhere that is going to offend. Hell every time you turn on the television or read a newspaper you could find something offensive. And lets not forget "women" are lumped in together all the time.

I am very surprised by your reaction to the OP.

Well unfortunately the world goes round with the majority vote and the original poster's comment has valid merit. I just joined this site and have received IM's from people asking me what my interests are. Um...well READ!!

You may be in the minority of men and actually read profiles but the majority of men look at the picture and react immediately. I honestly do not think the OP meant to offend anyone.

Then reading my profile might be a tad difficult since I use multiple syllables.

Exactly why I did it. Moved to New York City for a new job and wanted to meet some people male and female. I was on a site similar to this before and made some great friends. I am still friends with them today. Too bad they don't live in NYC. ;)

LOL I was thinking that same thing. Reading must be a lost art form.

The really bad elevator music while I have been on hold for over 20 minutes with my cable company.

Single but living in NYC now that can't last forever there a zillion people here.

I have learned that friendship is as fragile as egg shells.

Thank you for the warm welcome!! :) Seems like I will fit in just fine here.

New to the site and to New York City. I am hoping to meet some new people here and afar. I was on another site very similar to this years ago and made some great friends hoping this site will be the same. :)
