Feel like having a celebratory diet pepsi and pop-tart in your honor. Never thought I would hear you say found a profile that met your criteria and was interesting....and not in another country. Cheers!!

well supposedly there is someone for everyone. Go for it Lex......just remember even though she speaks straight up and real deal.....does not mean she won,t invite the same or be attracted to the same as previous. But I say go Lex go. I sent her a note expressing my appreciation for what she wrote and the way she wrote it. Simple and direct. I'm long past the point where I have any intentions of chasing anybody. As you say, a well-worded profile is no guarantee of compatibility, although it could indicate the potential for communication. But from what I've seen, my concept of what constitutes "compatibility" was driven to extinction sometime around 1999. I'm totally willing to be proven wrong, but I really don't see that happening! If thats all you wrote, I betting 50/50 she doesn't write you back. Sorry Lex, yet for me, it takes a little more than that to get a persons attention for very long, and then hold it. If you want to get someones attention you're gonna have to get up and really put yourself back out there, just like the rest of us...esp when you think there's someone who might be worthy of it. You guys got all the colorful feathers, remember? Show 'em. We've all been hurt and rejected, thats why we're here. Put your best face forward, humble yourself and get IN the game, you critque but won't play anymore.  Colorful feathers .. LOVE IT!!! And agree about putting himself out there a bit more. But from everything Lex has written about himself, I get the feeling he doesn't WANT any results anyway. Am I right Lex? Ya know...I have been thinking the same thing...Lex? |

I did write an indepth profile delineating the man I truely am along with my hopes and dreams. But, when I re-read it, it was just the lyrics to the old Mack Davis song "Oh Lord, it's hard to be Humble".

to clarify my earlier posts, i don't necessarily think that dating sites are a poor choice for those looking.
i actually think they are a fabulous place for busy, single individuals looking for a match. it's an easy way (almost too easy) to weed out those who are incompatible and a convenient way to meet other single people who are also looking to date. ~~~ to get back to the OP, i look at the profile as a resume. i wouldn't dare sumbit my resume blank and walk into the interview telling my prospective employers 'ask me whatever you want to know'. it's my business to make myself sellable, indispensible and irreplaceable. why should my making myself attractive and interesting to the opposite sex be any different? if i want to date, and i have my eye on a particular man, i'm going to do everything i possibly can to make myself the most attractive girl on the market, right? |

What most people don't realize is that even if you tell people you are smart, funny, and charming, they won't believe you until you prove it.
I could tell people I was a cactus with a passion for jazz. Which I am btw, I just normally keep it on the DL. |

I agree that most are less than impressive, so it is refreshing to see one now and again that captures your attention. I can honestly say in my 2 years of 'dating sites' I have only come across a handful of profiles that stood out in some way. Family, kids and walks on the beach were not mentioned in any of them. I do still like the 3rd grade humor on occasion... So Lex...are you smitten? I'm curious.... Let's just say I understand how these things work -- if she was 897,000 miles away, she'd probably be VERY interested in me. As she's actually MUCH closer than that, she'd probably find me "complicated and intimidating" and avoid me like Typhus. Typhus being the crazy guy down the street who throws ironing boards at everybody. Fourth or Third story window? |

Colorful feathers .. LOVE IT!!! And agree about putting himself out there a bit more. But from everything Lex has written about himself, I get the feeling he doesn't WANT any results anyway. Am I right Lex? Well, I would love some results, provided they were REAL results. I don't want to waste a lot of time on people who are 897,000 miles away or who are so completely incompatible that I'd be better off with an ostrich. |

You can only judge some people on their profiles! It's pretty obvious to me which ones.

If thats all you wrote, I betting 50/50 she doesn't write you back. I would bet money that she doesn't. No one on this site has ever written me back when I've sent a first e-mail (unless it was about moderator stuff). I didn't write to her to get a response -- I wrote to tell her I liked her profile. |

Almost as bad as the ones that say "I dont no wut to right here" |

Like they're either too boring or lazy to even bother putting anything useful or informative about themselves in their profiles. Meaning I would last about 5 minutes with them before falling into a narcoleptic coma. |
