I am not sure what to say... for some reason men think I am their sucker so that they can ask me for money. I am not interested in keeping a man up.

I want a man for serious relationship that could lead to marriage and children. I will be 30 soon and my clock is ticking about getting into a serious relationship.

Do I come across to harsh in my profile?
thanks for the advice, tips and info ahead of time...

If you're not interested in keeping a man up, how can you have kids? Just sayin'.....

well sweety I don;t know what men you've been talking to

But I am very interested in keeping a man "up" but he's gotta be cute

and it has nothing to do with money

y'all are funny... I am trying to say I don't want a prostitute for a boyfriend... you know the type of man that just asks for money instead of work for it...

I also don't want to come as a b*tch if you get my drift.
lol

I know what I want but I don't want to hurt feelings in the process.

oh you heartbreaker you, don't you know you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette

sense this is a message board. I cannot in real life make an omelette, my crambled eggs stick to the pan, and my fried eggs the yokes break...

lol

Seriously what do you mean by that expression?

you said you didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but no matter how hard you try, someone will be offended...

A Man and his son were once going with their Donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side a countryman passed them and said: "You fools, what is a Donkey for but to ride upon?"
So the Man put the Boy on the Donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said: "See that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides."

So the Man ordered his Boy to get off, and got on himself. But they hadn't gone far when they passed two women, one of whom said to the other: "Shame on that lazy lout to let his poor little son trudge along."

Well, the Man didn't know what to do, but at last he took his Boy up before him on the Donkey. By this time they had come to the town, and the passers-by began to jeer and point at them. The Man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said: "Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey of yours and your hulking son?"

The Man and Boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the donkey's feet to it, and raised the pole and the donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge, when the Donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the Boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle the Donkey fell over the bridge, and his fore-feet being tied together he was drowned.

"That will teach you," said an old man who had followed them:
"Please all, and you will please none."

okay, I like your short story, very to the point.

I got cha I can't pleae everyone, just have to please myself.

thanks for thea advice....

I don't think your profile was to harsh at all. You were to the point about the kind of relationship you want. Any man or woman who depends on the other to take care of them is nothing but a user. Each person should come into the relationship with the mind of giving equal responsibility to each other. That is one thing that just rubs me the wrong way, and that's when a man ask me for money. If you don't have a job you'd better get your hussle on and I mean in a legal way.

I have been in a relationship with someone and they keep asking for money... I have not told them I am letting them go... Another topic for a different day...

I just want to nip it in the bud this go around....

Some men are scammers, and some are just lazy dogs loking for a free ride. Others are just plain LAZY! No one ever said the path to love was easy did they?

I suppose not...

Use a little butter or oil and watch the temperature. Also helps to use a good pan (I use Pampered Chef. ).

Yes, the profile seems a little
harsh and negative.
All about what you don't want.
As opposed to what you do want :-)

I have heard of paampered chef but never actually seen a cathalog...

but it's good to know I can be more positive.

None of it is cheap, but it's all top-shelf stuff...
