I'm here because...well why not I've meet alotta cool people on the internet than alotta other places. Chivalry still exist for the ladies so don't worry bout that i've been keeping it warm.
Reality Check
Some of us are losing our sense of reality about people. Being able to specify what we want is causing some of us to develop a rigid and demanding approach to the quest for someone to love.
The conditions and specifications in some profiles suggest the designer mate phenomenon: someone you can order custom-made to your specifications. You’d like to have this feature but not that, a little of x but none of y. Six feet 1 inch tall is OK, six feet 0 inches not OK.
Whoa, Flashback!
Profile: Kurt, Age 48
It's tough to explain exactly what I want in a life long mate but I will know when I find her. I like to go out on occasion and spend time with good friends. Also like to golf and it is a passion and will not give it up. I have a life, I am not looking for someone to make a life for me but it would be nice to spend some time with that one that is close to my heart, and see where it goes.
Looking for an Honest Man
Profile: Hilary, age 30
I want the man who is too busy to call but does it anyway. The guy who can look in my eyes and see that I would give him anything and everything just to show him that he's loved...and appreciates it.
I want the guy who says he wants a relationship and is willing to put in the work to have it.I want a man who is honest. And I want the one who isn't always poised to jump because he's waiting for the next shiny thing to show up.
