Oh, there are variations -- "down to earth" gets used a lot. What does that mean? Gravity works on you? It works on almost all of us....!!
either love it or hate it or it scares them away -- but it is what it is, right?

Why does it seem that Gravity works harder every year???

FYI, I started this post thinking of you Cassie...


lol. hellkitten or whatever, i wasn't taking the beach thing personally, i was just explaining that not everyone who says things like what lex and mr. music listed in his list of peeves are taken from someone else's profile. now the thing with the kid, yes i do take that personally, because i have a 2 year old and he is absolutely everything to me. and i want any guy who is interested in me to know that i'm a mom first, until the end of time. someone with no children could NEVER understand that feeling. that's all.


I'm glad you got the joke, I was kinda iffy on saying that. As far as kids go, I know how you feel. I'm a dad to the end and I love my son more than anything. Nobody could ever come between me and my son or whatever children I might have at the time and its good for whoever I might be seeing to know that, so they don't waste their time trying.


Anyone that can read, can see if you checked off that you have children. And to add to that, if they have any sense of reality. They would KNOW that your child comes first. It doesn't need to be displayed on your profile, since that is what being a parent is.

People that don't have time to write anything in their profile and expect to get any replies... People who have stupid screen names... People who take pictures of themselves without a shirt on... People just looking for sex...

OH! OH! I almost forgot!

People with "myspace" photos! :laughing:

The ones where it's so obvious they're in front of a mirror (usually in their bathroom) taking their own photo.

Two words: TIMER FUNCTION!

Hell, it doesn't even have to be in front of a mirror. It's pretty easy to see one's own arm sticking out to hold the camera.

Here's a thought: If you can't figure out how to use the timer, have somebody else take the picture for you.

Yes, that one is patently obvious, isn't it?

I think single mothers looking at relationships stand a lot better odds of finding what they want if they focus on demonstrating how different/intelligent/creative/etc. they are than just saying it after drilling in the speech about how the kid comes first.

I mean, they might as well be explaining that 1+1=2. At length. In detail.

Yeah, I just posted about this yesterday in a thread called "Militant Moms." The "They are my world!" cliche that is apparently de rigueur for any woman with a child on a dating site.

Yes, the kids come first, I think that's generally understood. And we know you probably have two feet and don't like to eat scorpions, but nobody puts that in their profiles.

The ones I like are the ones who get hostile about it. "....and if you don't like it, you can go impale yourself on that really pointy swordfish they have down at the marina and twist and twist and twist on that big old sword until your intestines come out."

Viable dating prospect, anyone?

lol. glad you started this thread, it's been interesting to see some of the kind of people that post in here. although, there does seem to be a few people that just want to start arguements.... every forum has those people. you should see the website i usually blog on. my god people are CRAZY on there. it's all politics and religion on there, lots and lots of heated debates and personal bashes. makes for an interesting read tho.

Are you referring to those who refuse to be "sheeple"? Folks who aren't afraid to go out on a limb and express themselves instead of following the parade like one of Hitler's stormtroopers? Folks who are proactive instead of just passive?

Yes, we are called trolls, and we thrive on the misery of others.

My name is Greg, pleasure to meet you miss.

expressing yourself and going out on a limb doesn't mean being a condescending jerk. you and your cronies are getting the two confused.

Yeah, but at least I can ADMIT to being a condescending jerk.

Everyone should read my "Arrogant Narcissistic Conceited Jerks" thread from a few days ago.

Seems that all of this has been covered quite nicely, and very recently!

Have you got a link? That's a lot of forum to narrow down to one topic.
