Then don't mess with what works! :)

Welcome and have fun with the Community on here.....It's FUN!

Men look best when they are comfortable in what they are wearing. Whether it's old faded blue jeans with rips and a soft cotton T-shirt or dress slacks and a nice shirt and tie. Not too many men around here wear suits unless it's at work and it's required. There are so many beautiful sweaters for men; jackets aren't really needed. And if the sweater looks soft (girls will want to touch!)

Unless they are just the "motherly type" or have OCD....

Very nice picture.

Welcome and HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!

LOL! Right back at ya!

I would stop (thank the Lord this has never happened too me---hitting a person's pet) but I had a friend that stopped cause he felt terrible and the owner punched my friend so hard it broke his jaw! They will never stop again (or so they told me) that was miles away from where I live and way back in the sticks in Upstate NY.

Probably closer to Lab-coat smart; but blond FUN.....:) To the man that asked if Brunette smart or Lab-coat smart.

I would NEVER act like a condescending person. But I have talked to men that say "smart women are intimidating & some men won't even approach them". I never have a lack of friends (male or female) but I think it's different if anything more than friendship is in play.

OK......clarification needed.....Love all the responses. But flirting in here on Mingle2 is "normal" and "fun" and I expect that kind of thing and that's what keeps people on here. This is about a man that I have known for 5 yrs. But really only know him when he was a fellow employee and I wrote his paychecks. Anyway, I see him around town and he goes out of his way to come over and talk too me; pick on me in the store (while he's trying to get my attention) and he texted me back n forth for 3 hours on Christmas and many times since then. He's one sexy man and I even told him I thought that in the texts and he continues to flirt. Do I assume he's only flirting. He is VERY shy; something that I am NOT and most men (at least around here) find me intimidating because I am smart, have a great sense of humor and can give as good as I get; so just thought I would ask what you all thought. Really haven't been dating in years and so I am completely at a loss!

So you wouldn't flirt with a woman that you weren't interested in, right?

Of Smart women or love them?

Good job but terrible money (or) Bad job but good money (no you cannot mix and match) Which do you pick?

a woman repeatedly if you don't like her or have an interest in her in a romantic/sexual sense?

I agree NIX the poem. Otherwise, it's okay. Sounds like you want someone that is athletic like you; if that is what you are looking for; great profile. Good luck with your search on Mingle2

My sister and I call these kinds of people "yo...yo's" one moment they want one thing & then the next moment something else; running your emotions up & down like a yoyo! Waste of your time is what they are. That's why it's good to get to know people slowly. Find out what they are looking for in a relationship and KNOW what you want too. Saves alot of wasted time!

B-I-N-G-O....you got it in ONE! Well, to be honest I don't care a whole lot about what someone does for a living. I make my own money (I have always worked.....since I was 16), so I am not looking for some sugar daddy. SAD people do that sort of thing--Poor things! But I would prefer if I were to meet someone special that he make sure that he doesn't bring any BAD smells into my home.....I have worked at a Septic Company & have smelled some pretty bad stuff, BUT don't want that in MY home.

I think it's a good profile. I too look at headings and the words more than I do the pics only because it's something the person wrote about themselves and it gives you a glimpse of "who the person is" not their SHELL. But the ladies are right about one thing MANY, MANY women look at a picture to see if the guy creeps them out or if they look friendly. And they do move on immediately (most profiles without a picture don't even get looked at)...The problem with that is that it's the SHELL of the person and not who they are (not that people don't lie; but ya gotta have some trust in people).....How many serial killers & murderers neighbors claimed they seemed so nice, they looked nice......PLEASE! I think your profile is good and I wish you the VERY best of luck in finding that woman of your dreams.

OMG! That is terrible.....Where do you live that people are so heartless! The poor thing. Sorry to hear that you not only had to see it, but hear it and even feel the pain from the animal.

Absolutely TRUE!!!!!!!
