Okay, I'm curious about you. You have nothing in your profile but wanting to date, your heading stating you will fill out later. 4 1/2 months after you've joined you're now asking about why people have friendship on their profiles but haven't shared anything about yourself...why do people have no picture, blank, no info profiles and expect to get dates?

Good question.

Personally, if the goal is dating or life partnering, Id use a site that is more specific like E Harmony or match.com. In this type of forum though I really do enjoy making friends. I am not going to date all the people I make friends with but I dont think those who take the time to build friendships will be so focused on all the 'games' and 'good impressions' that go along with getting someones romantic interest.

I think that when people are friends they are more likely to let their guard down and reveal their true self and it is easier to determine then if it can go further. I am not looking for a date, seriously, Id much rather have ten good friends and not one date, than ten dates and not one friend. this doesnt mean that Im opposed to finding the right partner though, just that the focus of our relationship has to be the friendship and not the 'dating'.

hi empty profile flamebait! long time no see!

if you don't understand the relationship between friendship and
dating then I guess we can safely say:

"your work here is done."

That's what I keep saying, but apparently I'm either saying it wrong, or everyone thinks I'm crazy; why bother trying to date people who are just looking for friends, only to get frustrated because they're just looking for friends???? Why not try to date those who have "looking for dating/marriage/relationship" on their profile? Just bypass the "friendship type people" and stop wasting time and being a nuisance.

So many women complain about not being able to find anyone to date, and it's because so many men are approaching women who have absolutely no interest in dating them or anyone else. And then so many women admit they list themselves as looking for friends, but they'd consider dating, which totally blurs the lines of reason, and which is why men keep contacting women like me, who only want to be left the heck alone.....

uhm.... not "everything"

For those of us that have no intent of marrying again, what would you rather we said. "Friends" are a necc. thing in life. No one wants to be totaly alone, no matter what. Not many understand this outlook on life. We all walk different paths. Just because this path doesn't work for you, it can be right for others.
