and here i was looking forward to another mingle love story.
/:

Well, this is probably why i sometimes prefer dating a naive guy, as he wouldn't have so much of a problem, if i didn't want to date him. He wouldn't go all crabby. Idk if it's only me who thinks this, but the younger men, seem to take dating more lightly. That trait i really admire. As you have less of a chance of being hung, drawn, and quartered, just because they're not what you prefer. It ain't YOUR problem. It's HERS. Who needs someone with a bad attitude like that? Not many.

Oh the book is gone? I used to read a bit each day to try to get through it

There are those who are waiting for the movie. I have some real doubts about the post-production, though.

Okay I don't believe it but I read it!!!!!

A lot less painful that is for sure.

Well, hope that makes it easier for you to find someone who fits the description.

never quite got that either

I mean, I get that some people are shallow or hypocritical jerks
excluding people for superficial things like race, or ethnicity, etc,,,,

but who would want to be with those people so much that theyd be offended when those people didnt want them


sometimes a preference is just a preference, and I Think everyone has them,

but sometimes 'mandates' cause a feeling of being superior/inferior to someone else, which few people like to feel


if we try to look at it that everyone is not a good match for everyone else,, it works a bit easier

I think my profile actually causes amnesia.

Because lots of people contact me and say "I read your profile and I loved it! Where are you and what do you do?"

I got some very nasty e-mails from someone today -- she didn't like the fact that I had some things in my profile about who I would and would not be interested in dating....presumably because she was all of those things in the "would not" category. At least, that's how I interpreted what she wrote.

And this person came at me as if I had deliberately written what I wrote in my profile as some sort of attempt to minimize or belittle or exclude her, specifically -- which, of course, was never the case, seeing as how I never heard of her until today and the profile was written quite some time ago.

But it got me to wondering about why it is that people take this stuff so personally....

Let me flip it around for a second. I see profiles all the time where someone says "I'm not interested in anybody over 35." OK, I'm over 35, I understand what you're saying, I'm not gonna pursue you. Neither am I going to act like I've been personally attacked, either, though.

Because if you're not interested in anybody over 35, that's OK. That's your preference, that's your prerogative. Nobody can stand there and say, "Hey, wait, I'm 42, and here are seventeen reasons why you should date me anyway" if you don't want to listen to it.

If someone says "I don't want to date someone who ________," that's NOT the same as saying "All people who __________ are hellish demons from the depths of some stygian inferno and should be fed to piranhas on steroids." Hey, most of my friends on this site are single/divorced mothers. Why? Because they're all smart enough to know that my standards for dating have nothing to do with my standards for what makes a good person.

I'm sure you'll get one, but I doubt if I'll be one of the characters!

H3ll Lex.........if it makes ya feel any better..

I don't meet any of you're preferences either....

And I am......Thankful........

But I still like ya!!!! I would never attack you in e-mail.....
or anywhere else for that matter.

You just keep beatin'em off with that stick Bro!!!!!

Geeezzzzzeeee.....

there are some kooks in the world!!!!!

Critical upbringing, with possible guilt inferiority complex?? and maybe none of those things..........but possibly hit nerves on her hills of regrets in her life that makes her feel undatable in the so called market of fish??

you're a moderator;
it's impossible for you to stay out of the story line.
you're at the very least an extra!

I don't ever get those. I get "You're a %*&@@#$% because you don't want to get involved with someone like me, you worthless piece of &^%$##*&&!@?"

And then they tell me the seventeen reasons why I should reconsider them. But with lots of *%^$###!?*&!?&& thrown in.

I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out those cuss words and the closest I came to was "excrementals"

I'm selling tickets for the next big production.....

Have you ever tried to get a shrew to leap through a flaming hoop, though?

It's not easy. They have a hard time with the whole concept.
