I'm guilty of waiting for someone to contact me. :smile: Although, on occasion, I have wrote a few 'thanks for looking at my profile' messages. I usually get a respose...we e-mail once or twice and that is about it.

"Datable" can be a very subjective term. Generally if they were not only recently released from prison, notice I only say recently, or are not battling Hep C, I might consider it. I have lowered my expectations. happy


Yeah, I have had some issues with people's attitudes towards my standards, too -- mainly from women who want to argue with me about my "deal-breakers" or those who think their mission in life is to "domesticate" me. Yikes. No thank you! Having been married once, I learned my lesson.

So now maybe I'm a little "selective." Is a 160 IQ REALLY too much to ask?

10% Of the time I write to someone that after peeking at their profile and seeing something that warrents comment. Most time they are too far away. 90% I wait, and wait and wait and wait and wait................................................................................................

Even before I started seeing someone, I occasionaly emailed someone first if they have looked at my profile and had a really interesting or unique profile, or added me as a friend/favorite, but I guess was too shy to say anything first. I also always reply, I think it's rude to just read and delete without at least saying hi, what's up.:smile:

Selective is okay because you cant just go out with anyone if you can’t have a discussion at least. I know I left my Mensa membership card in the laundry so I won’t pass the test. :tongue:

interesting thread you started. Doesn't the Match thingy make it easier. At least you know the ladies are a little interested. It's like make eye contact from across the room.

For sure. The minute I bring up sahelanthropus tchadensis, most girls think I'm talking about a Hungarian violinist.

Do you know something I don't know?

Is her name Lyndsey?

Am I really that much of a snob where someone wouldn't feel worthy?

Is this going to be on Maury tomorrow?

Considering I don't even cruise profiles, I usually respond to who writes me. But then I am not here to find a guy. If it happens so be it. But it's not my purpose.

Once in a while I'll see someone on the forums I think is interesting or whatever .. I'll pop them a note. Otherwise it's just respond when I get mail, which is often anyway.

oh ya .. and I'll write a guy once in a while, who has checked out my profile first. Altho I think if a guy looks at your profile and doesn't write you .. well, I'm not real impressed. LOL
