Dawnyhi- I think we are cousins.

It can tell you if someone lives in a filthy messy space; or if they don't smile; or that they don't have enough class to put a shirt on for their profile photo;or.....

Honestly, love has caused me nothing but pain and heartache. It doesn't last, while treasury bonds are forever.

say it aint' so!!

"missing persons strange"? You are a hoot!!

the question specified that the person doesn't care..if you can't see your kids through no fault of your own and it hurts you, then you care. You don't fall into that category.

Will you marry me?

the problem is that most people want to communicate with someone who communicates in a similar fashion. There are enough people with good grammar and enough without it so that there is someone for everyone; but a person who gets irritated by poor grammar had better date someone who feels the same way. It's just a matter of preferences; some people like tall, most people like fit or slim; some people like long hair; some people like good grammar; and some people dont' see the importance of it.

For me it only becomes a problem if I am unable to understand what it is that you are trying to say. This is where good grammar and punctuation come in- it helps in understanding the meaning. If the meaning is clear, I don't stress about it.

I have the exact same reaction.

Although, my experience on dating sites in general has been that it is a photo alone that draws the most men in.

I have gotten much more attention without a real pic than if I had a picture of myself posted there. Of course, once I send them my photo I never hear from them again.

I did an experiment once on another site where I posted my same profile but with a picture of an attractive women (ie,not me).

It got 1000X more e-mail than my real pic.

So I really don't want to date any of these people, yanno?

so, are you asking if you choose the people you want to communicate with based on their photo?

If that is your question, then, no. I base it on what I read in the forums that they post in. If they are funny and smart, I will probably want to be friends with them.

I don't understand the question.

How does a photo communicate?

How old are these kids? How about having them do the cooking?

I would be extremely leery of a guy that got emotionally attached to my daughter in a week. Can you say "future stalker"?

But I wouldn't have to tell my daughter to stop seeing him because the instant attachment thing would creep her out and she would kick him to the curb.

It takes months to get to know someone long enough to really tell if you have a future together. YOu can't learn much in a week. It's just fantasy.

What about simply having fun, which is what 20 somethings are supposed to be doing?

Guys are going to run like heck from someone running at them in a wedding gown. People that age aren't trying pin down their future yet. They need a little time to live and grow up. You might benefit from doing that, too.

If we are not looking for dates, what difference does it make what we look like?

And some who are looking for dates are very careful because they are going through custody battles, or they are school teachers, etc. and just don't want people to be able to pull up their pic on an internet dating site.

Um, I don't think most 20-somethings have trouble getting dates.

the question was doesn't see and doesn't care about - some people are unable to see their children through no fault of their own - but most of them are heartbroken about it.

If he didn't care that he couldn't see them, he would not be the guy for me.

no, just guys asking to be blown



up

Of course not! Don't be silly. One is in her coffee.
