Sing, and Indian Princess,

if the first thing on your mind when you meet a man. is, What kind of job or education they have. Then you have been watching to much Oprah. Seriously.

Maybe you'ld be better served joining those Nazis on EHarmony.com.

You can not sit there and tell me. When you meet a person in a social public place. The first thing you think, is "Did this guy graduate college and does he have a 401K plan?" Cause if that is the case. then no wonder you are still single.


There are a lot of things on my mind when I meet a man, I have a whole list of things.. I will not support someone so anyone that I'm going to date must bring something to the table just as I do.. A 401k is the least of it but it's smart to have so if he has one at least I know he cares about the future... There are a lot of small things that can tell you a lot about a person and if you will click/can go further than a date or two.. I'm not looking for sex so my criteria is important.. You are looking for sex so you have no criteria... We're different people of course we'll have different criteria, what's the big deal? I don't need Eharmony just b/c I have criteria.. Perhaps you'd be better off with "Adult Friend Finder" if all you're looking for is sex...

I also think that the people putting stuff in their profile about what they want and who they are, are trying/hoping to attract a certain kind of person... Those are probably the profiles that contain too much substance and you should move past and look for the ones that state "intimate encounter"...

Attacking us and being rude to us b/c we responded with our thoughts and why or how we do what we do with our profiles isn't cool.. People are different b/c we don't want what you want doesn't make us Nazi's or Wiccan's or anything else that you want to consider derogatory...

Oh and I don't watch Oprah, can't stand the show AND I'm single b/c I choose to be and will not settle...



her is the thing Princess.

Just this morning there was a segment on the CNBC news. The segment was about. How on average, women in our generation are starting to make more money than the men thier age.

I commented to my father, brother and his wife. That the problem is, that 90% of those women are still looking to date men who make more money than they do.

ALSO, they showed a map of the country. Poitning out Major Cities where this trend is the strongest. And i can tell you for a fact. That all of the cities where this was true. Women making more money than men. Those particular cities, have a HUGE sub culture of Feminization, Cuckolding, and Female domination.



What are these cities? How do you know that "Feminization, Cuckolding, and Female domination" is going on? I highly doubt the news said this b/c that is a completely subjective statement. Especially considering the women STILL make less than men, 76% less in fact for doing the same job... People with similar interests usually date, what's wrong with people of similar incomes dating?

There is nothing wrong with a woman being independent and making a good living and yes it will make it hard for some men to date them b/c they might want a man that makes as much or more.. But there are plenty of women who don't care how much a man makes as long as he makes something and is contributing to the household income...

Sing, and Indian Princess,

I'm not sure where either of us said it was the first thing we look for. I can only speak for myself, though. If it's just casual dating, then no, it isn't going to be a big deal. If it's going to turn into anything more serious, I certainly do expect the person I'm dating to have goals.

Why do you have an issue with this? Do you not have goals and are annoyed that women are looking for men who do?



You said it yourself, "if it's casual dating" then you aren't really worried about that. And that is my point, you want people on these websites to want to get to know you better. For the most part, anyone male or female would be scared away from someone they just met. Talking about 5 year career plans.

Understand?



Why don't you start speaking for yourself, rather than for everyone else? You've made it very clear that you do not like long profiles and women who talk about their jobs or education. There are many, many women on this site who don't do that, I'm sure. Why not just move onto them instead of whining?

I think part of the issue is that some men don't want to be with women who make more than them. It makes them feel less manly for some reason.

True... Probably the same type of men that don't want to work "for" a woman...

Not me! I wouldn't object to a woman having a larger income than me.
It worked for U.S. Senator John Kerry.

melody,

Considering the fact that Wiccans are Pot heads. And burn a symbolic man in effigy once a year in the desert. I understand completely why you are taking shots at me.


WOW! First, I am not Wiccan - I am Pagan.

Secondly, people of all religious sects may or may not smoke pot. I for one have never done drugs or smoked a cigarette. I have zero tolerance for those activities.

I am not taking shots at you. I don't know where you extracted that idea from my postings. All of my replies are speaking in general terms and situations. If you happen to fall into any of the situations I speak of then it's purely coincidental. I don't know anything about you, right? I am a bit of a smarty pants; however, I mean no harm.

I thought we were having an adult conversation; I am not using disparaging remarks. I am just speaking sincerely.

You seem frustrated at the replies. Members are just adding their feedback. You may not like the feedback you get but you did post on a public internet forum. You have to expect a plethora of opinions - not all of which you will agree.

Relax and have fun. You don't have to defend everything you say. What ever reason you are on Mingle - own it!

The cool thing about Mingle or any dating circumstance is the fact there is always something for everyone. If you don't vibe with a person you can easily move on rather than analyzing what makes them tick. I love the "next" button! laugh

Live and let live, right? drinker




Perhaps and I was stereotyping. most the Wiccans i know are ALL POT HEADS! And like it or not, "The Burning Man" Celebration. Is a female led culture buring a symbolic man in efigy. That is what the movie Wiccar Man with Nick Cage was about. Wiccans believe that men should serve them as slaves.


But then again a couple of you were stereotyping me. because of the fact I am unemployed, and only looking for sexual relationships.


Again, I am not Wiccan. The Wiccans I know do not smoke pot. I don't know what relevance this has to do with our conversation anyway.

I had no idea you were unemployed and that fact is inconsequential to me. I also don't care that you are here of an intimate encounter. I didn't even read your profile until well into this thread.

You must have mistaken my humor and sarcasm as stereotyping and took it personally. I don't know anything about you to make such comments. I read through my replies and I never said anything about either topic in reference to you. I actually told you "live and let live" - if you do it; own it.

Am I the only one who has ever noticed? That the stuff people put on thier About me sections. Are more like things they would say at Job interviews. And less like the things they'ld say to someone at a bar. Or to someone who they are trying to pick up.

I suppose it has a lot to do with what type of relationship they are looking for. But still, the whole fun in dating is getting to know someone. In the process you either fall in love. Or learn that that particular person is not the type you should or want to be dating at all.

Knowing to much about someone right off the bat. Ruins a lot of the fun in dating or even hooking up for one night stands.


I understand what you are saying about having a "surprise" effect - and that being part of the fun; however, I don't want to waste my time. If I don't discuss my deal-breakers in my bio section then I am setting myself up for meeting the wrong person.

I don't exclusively use this dating site to meet guys. I also meet guys in every day life. While the in-person experience makes it more fun - the arduous task of finding out whether he has kids, has an education, hasn't been to jail, etc, can suck the fun out of dating. To me, that is more like a job interview.

I don't want to find out 2 weeks later I am dating an ex con, who is a meth freak, bible thumping misogynist with a litter of kids and a 7th grade education! laugh



Another brilliant post Melody! :thumbsup:

Not me! I wouldn't object to a woman having a larger income than me.

We want a man who is a partner in all things, including doing laundry, cooking, and running the vacuum.


I meet those qualifications. Where/how do I apply for the job?



I think I can safely say, Every guy on here can meet those qualifications.

My point for this thread once again. Was to point out that alot of people are way to formal in thier about me sections. And yes That turns off a lot of people from your profile. Tha goes for both men and women.


Take my profile for example. A coupl of you looked at it. And commented on it. Saw I am unemployed, and just looking for s exual relationship, **** buddy thing. And you automatically stereotyped me as some lazy women hating *******.

Really? If that were the case, there would be more happily married women, or happily dating guys.
