(((((Fade)))))

Had these T-shirts made today.

<---- I'm with Hiker

What's the point of info on the profile anyway. I love the guys who write saying they read my profile and they think we are G2G .. like soulmates cuz we are sooooooooo much alike.

So ya, did they miss the part about me being in a relationship or the part that I date younger (when they are older than me) or the part where they are country ((I'm a city girl at it's best sophistication) or ....

well ya I could keep going.............but I don't have time. Need to work on my profile *sigh*

Hey...where did Frank go?

(((( Lilith ))))

Is it any wonder I love you so?

We interrupt this thread to bring you this shameless shallow remark:







Fade2Black - nice legs baby!









OK, I feel better.. please continue!

That's a good one.

wow .. just saw this .. thanks hon .. nice interruption

I'm wondering the same thing. Haven't heard a peep out of him since his first post.

Do you think we scared him away?

I always put my lippy on when approaching a speed camera on the road............... I refuse to have my photograph taken without make-up !!!!

A woman I relate with .. to heck with au naturale

I have received 3 emails in the last two weeks about my profile, and how I should consider changing some of the wording. So I asked a couple of people here who I think have their poop in a group. I could be wrong, you never know.


I stand by what I wrote, if you don't like it, too bad.

Au naturale ? Seen what gravity does to a woman my age? I will take all the help any plastic surgeon/creams,rubs and or potions can give me.................Bring on the war paint !!!!!

I'm so with you on that one. Wonder's of Revlon baby!

I think I'm fairly thorough with the basics about myself and what I'm looking for in my profile yet I continue to get contacted by women who clearly did not read it.

Might as well just write "Little d*ck, no job, loves beer. Looking for woman willing to support me"

Hey, Frank! You know, I agree with this premise, in principle, but there's one problem in this particular instance: "actions," per se, do not translate well to a written medium. I mean, you could be saving the whales and finding a cure for cancer and solving global warming and finding the real killer for OJ, but none of those actions would mean a thing to the other 500 million people behind their screens unless/until someone told them about it. Or maybe if you were doing that stuff on webcam; but I doubt if that would work very well.



Oh no, my profile is enormous, and heavily littered with verbal superfluousness. I like it that way, weeds out (most of) the illiterates and such. Basically, it's intended to weed out almost everybody, but it hasn't quite accomplished that -- and I think that's more of a "some people just don't bother to read profiles at all" scenario than it is a "people are reading it and writing to me anyway out of spite or sheer incomprehension."

Short and Sweet may win the race, but I'm not racing anybody for anything at the moment. Look, people don't have to read it, nobody is putting a gun up to anyone's head (Just Say Bang?), and I don't particularly care either way. My profile amuses me and a small group of friends, and that's good enough for me.



Right, but for me, I can't really do a good self-summary in three sentences. It's more complicated than that, or I'd like to believe it is, anyway.

You're right about the expectations -- this is a thing I have learned through time and experience -- and I no longer really have any expectations of people I encounter on the internet. Some of them are undoubtedly great people in real life, and there are some I wish I could meet in person, just to spend some time with in order to get to know more about them. But it's probably never going to happen, and I'm OK with that.



Which is exactly the reason I would prefer longer profiles. The more someone writes (or speaks), the better you can discern things about that person. More information, in my opinion, is always better than less. Most of the time, unfortunately, that new information is going to impact negatively on your perception of that person -- that's been a general rule in my experience -- but better to know the realities now, and avoid getting too wrapped up with someone who, as it (eventually) turns out, is entirely incompatible.



Thank you, Frank! I always enjoy seeing your words of wisdom here, even when people are wondering about that one picture you use!

that's cuz they are asking you to change who you are ... not happenin

You are not alone. Guys do it too. I hate getting those emails that start out with "So, what are your interests?" or "What are you looking for?" If they would have bothered to read my profile, all of the answers are right there.
