From my profile. THE FULL QUOTE. Not the partial one a certain someone just showed.


"This town has very few good single guys so here I am on mingle2 hoping to find someone. I can waitress anywhere so if I find that right guy then moving would not be a problem. I don't really have a future in this town. The guy will have to be pretty special before I move though. "


Note the sentence "The guy would have to be pretty special before I move though"

Note the not lack of me saying I would move a long distance.

I don't expect a guy to give up his career to move to a little tiny town in Jersey. That is why I said I would move.

It seems some only quote what they want to quote to make them seem right. Sorry, you lose.


Mindy, Mindy....oh where to start??
...your profile indicates that you would move with no reference to how far and how soon.
...in this forum you are talking about guys who want to visit you, or for you to visit them.
...it would seem that a girl willing to eventually move to live closer to the right someone might be also inclined to travel to meet them first.
...we understand the one week stipulation in your post.
...maybe, instead of saying the guy would have to be "pretty special" you should say that you would have to invest a decent amount of time in getting to know them before moving or traveling to meet is a possibility as "pretty special" is too vague a statement in combination with this post.

p.s. only people who play games lose, but I get why you see it that way.

Checkout Girl used to live exactly 4 miles away from me, so I always just said 4 miles was as far as I would go. Since I moved, she is farther away now, so I have to recalibrate.


896,000 miles.... laugh You are too far by 1000 miles.


Ooooops, I forgot -- wait a minute, I have given up on the opposite sex completely. Jeez, that's hard to remember.




Whoa, easy man! Is it really that bad?


Oh, you have no idea. I could write 1000 pages on the subject and barely scratch the surface. Being a writer, I don't find it all that difficult to write about stuff. But the things I've seen, the things I've heard, the things I've heard garbled adjectives about -- I don't know.

But, alas, the only one I truly love cannot see me, for I am as if invisible to her....

......................

going to do a couple months come january heading for warmer weather and see what adjustments i need to make to the idea to make it more economically feasible

i am thinking i will be out about a year and half leving around halloween of o9

and hopefully make a nice tour down south and around up to alaska (hopefully) meet and talk to people and take some pictures

just an expansion of my inner being per say




Sounds fun. I couldn't do that unless I stayed each night in a hotel. I went to Florida once with my Dad and Uncle in a RV. We lived a week in that thing. ewwwwww.

I am a indoor girl. I am soft. I need real showers and real bathrooms to do my business in.

Alaska? That sounds kinda fun. I would like to go there. On a plane though.

Your profile is interesting but intimidating because of it's length. I am guessing that's what you want. You are a writer so you only want a girl that is willing to read your whole profile. I read it. I would have 20 questions about it if we were each others type.

I think you could use more pictures of you that are clearer pictures . To show the the girls the mystery man behind the words.

edit
I know your profile is not the topic here. I just couldn't help mentioning it because it's so unusual.

I would fly 2449 miles for a date with a particular someone.flowerforyou


lol...you know you had a bunch of guys checking their maps after that post. "Lets see, do I live 2449 miles away"


:laughing:

They can search a map for days on end for there is only one I am willing to travel that distance.

how far and how soon-----would that not depend on the other party involved

would that not also depend on scheduling and money availability and if she is the one willing to relocate should not the other involved be will to see what she is willing to give up



would have to be "pretty special" you should say that you would have to invest a decent amount of time in getting to know them------is it not obvious that it would take a decent amount of time to know if someone is special enough to relocate for


"pretty special" is too vague a statement in combination with this post. ---- maybe you have to be special enough to understand it vague is what one does not know


------------------------------------

what is the purpose of that post (just out of curiosity)

when she sees what she wants is it not up to her to handle it as she wishes

and a far as how soon and how far maybe for mr x she would go 3000 miles after a week

but for mr d she would go 300 miles in a year

relationships are a variable you can not define the way that this post seems to want imo

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. It's nice to know there is at least one person on here who is willing to speak up and say something to try to be helpful....!

The fact is, I've tried all kinds of different things with my profile. It hasn't made a bit of difference.

The other fact is that type of person I'm looking for just doesn't seem to exist on dating sites. And that isn't going to change, regardless of WHAT I do.

That's the part that is confusing. It says that she'll move. She doesn't say how far. That opens the doors to many situations.

And she was rude to me because I was pointing that out.grumble

Where does she exist and why aren't you there? I am not being silly I mean the question seriously. I am not sure what type you are looking for. You profile has hints I see.

I suspected that. Just looking at your profile told me that.
lol

I slept in a tent in the backyard once with my girlfriends (I was 13). The mean lake geese asked us to leave. We did.
