How many of you have run into members of the opposite sex at online dating sites that ask: "So what are you looking for?". I mean can't we just chat, meet, chat some more and figure that out when we get to it? Do we have to lay the ground rules before we even talk on the phone? Are people nowadays so afraid of relationships that they have to find out where they stand BEFORE they get out from behind the computer and talk to each other face to face? email me your resume first (must be a .word or .doc format) with your last 5 jobs (your salaries and bosses) and your credit report (under 6 don't even consider) of the past 7 years (less won't cut it) and 3 dependable references (must be US citizens) and don't forget to hand sign it ( with a black ink pen) or in the absence of that I will need a written Power of Attorney (lawyer phone required), and THEN maybe we can discuss my favorite color, alright? Sooooo.. what is your favorite color? ...how dare you ask me about my favorite color? I'm calling the police! You asked me without doing the proper introduction guideline, I have outlined!

I set the bar pretty low, I look for friendship first, at whatever level it is, then if the chemistry is right..who knows what will bloom.

This site is for finding friends as well. And women are fickle, you can't just sweep em off their feet in a day, unless you pay the hourly rate.

Here's a good one for ya: I used to have a pretty detailed profile on one of the other sites. So a guy messaged me and introduced himself. Nice. But in his second e-mail he goes for the "So what are you looking for?"-schtick. I told him that I thought I'd laid it out pretty clearly in my profile. So he goes "Yeah, but those are just words". I mean for crying out loud...you want me to put on a mime costume and act it out for you???

because these days everyone wants everything too fast. fast cash fast answers fast results and fast relationships. the art of conversation is lost on many.

Well I've been on here since justsayhi and have yet to meet anyone in person, nor talk too seriously about dating. Consider this just another outlet, just like the bar, the proctologists office, and the abortion clinic.

And do ya guys have to say you don't want a fat woman? Geesh, maybe fat women don't want an opinionated man... Men may not like fat women but women don't like men with fat mouths either.
