everyone has baggage

I just have a small carryon

oh ya .. definitely got baggage if they are stating they don't ..

I for one am glad I have some baggage; it is called life experience and some of it is pretty useful. I think what I have experienced makes me a better person. More able to cope with the stuff that normal life dishes out. I know how to manage and contribute in a relationship. I have learned a lot about men and how they feel about things and treating them like they should be treated. I have learned not to take bull off of people and to say no. Some one marches in like a drill sarget and starts issueing orders "drop that baggage and step in line" I just give them a middle finger salute mentally and delete them.

There's nothing more attractive than bitterness and intolerance.

oh, you've been to the political threads?

I am just glad that I got to the point in my life that I no longer dwell on a past that I can't change. The best I can hope for is to remember what I have been through, learn from my mistakes...and start fresh everyday. I can't change my past...but, I damn sure control my today.


I just find it a complete turn off to hear endless discussions about the ex's.....

Wow do ya always tell about your personal life

sure I'm a open book. anything anyone wants to know

Endless discussions is where "the baggage is carrying them" fits. Staying in the past is no better either.

A lot of women put in their profiles...
DON'T BE THIS..
DON"T BE THAT..
NONE OF THIS>>
AND FORGET IT IF YOUR THIS..
AND I'M TIRED OF THIS...
And present themselves that way as a means of attracting someone to contact them..???

For people...not confined to one gender...because the men have that in profiles too...who lists all that, then when you've read it, you know whether you're one of those "don't be"..and move on. At least they defined their list and it doesn't waste YOUR time or theirs.

Yeah well profiles like that either a woman's or mans I would walk away they have too many issues.

Awww I hear ya nothing to hide here hell they either like me the way I'm or walk a way.

I'm sure you're right, I don't read any guys profile so I stand corrected. But I am drawn to people who see things in a positive manner. If someone introduced themselves to me by saying "I don't like this and I don't like that" I would not feel I had anything in common with them or their state of mind.

I'm not greedy. I want a beautiful supermodel who's life mission is to satisfy my every need. Either that or three accountants in a hot tub.

Now there's a positive attitude!

It isn't just women who have profiles like this.

I'm the same way I wonder at time does anyone actually send e-mails that are what I call normally conversation at first instead of a million questions. To me when they come on too strong they seem desperate to me. I want normal lol well if there is such a thing.

When someone has only a paragraph to describe themselves or say something they think represents what they are like, I don't think they all realize what they really reveal by what they say or what they leave out or how it can represent what is or isn't important to them. You can't always control at what point someone else will connect with that....but like kharma, you can be pretty sure what will come back at you by what you send out.

Whether I agree with a profile or not, I'd much rather they state what they like and don't like right up front and perferably in some manner I can understand. It makes the "weeding out" process so much easier!
