Best take psycoid and call back in the morning.

Yes, that is a little girls picture.
As you can tell, I'm not in a dark picture standing behind her with my face on hers.

She happens to be the youngest kid of my first ex old lady.

Now, she's married. Her husband and I are great friends.

I love that picture because of the sassy attitude.

Why you in a dark picture up on a little boy?

Kinda perverse,no?

Animal instinct is attraction to breed. Men can smell a woman in heat.

I did not intend to reply to this post but after reading and re-reading it I just had to comment.

1. "Emphasized in female profiles the ideal man appears to be.."... but not in ALL female profiles I might add.

2. "Taller than her" - again, not ALL female profiles request this, and I didn't, although I got someone who is 6'2".

3. "Ready to take her traveling or vacationing" ...again, not in my list of prerequisites to a good relationship, neither is any material thing. I firmly believe there are much more important things in life than traveling or vacationing, like helping people who have no food or even the very necessities of life.

3. "A fan of television, movies and sports"... again these were A VERY FEW OF MY PERSONAL INTERESTS, not a prerequisite to a relationship. I would rather communicate or read anyway.

4. "enamored of children and animals"...once again, this was not a prerequisite to a relationship although I love both children and dogs specifically...and so does the man in my relationship.

5. "understanding of her weight control issues" ...I don't have a weight control issue, so this again was not a prerequisite to a relationship.

6. "religious" - admittedly, I am a Christian, however, not as most people would define a Christian by orthodox standards. I have seen some on this site profess Christianity but are looking for intimate encounters, which does not fit into my standards whatsoever; however, the man in my relationship fits very nicely into my faith and belief system.

7. "with no bad habits" ...I have some bad habits so why would I make having a man with no bad habits a prerequisite. Sounds ridiculous and outside reality to me.

8. "and looks don't count -- but must have a photo for reply"...I have seldom been involved with gorgeous hunks ever in my life as too many are too self-absorbed. I get requests from a lot of really great looking guys who obviously don't think with their minds but with the lower half of their body. Just not my cup of tea. The man in my relationship has a beautiful mind, heart and spirit and THAT'S what is of greatest value to me. Probably the only thing that was correct about this original comment was MUST HAVE PHOTO FOR REPLY. You got me there, but not because of the looks. It's because I can sense. even through a photo, whether there is any chemistry that might initially draw me to him and that does not mean he has to look like a movie star or body builder or anywhere near that...although to me..the man in my relationship is the most handsome man in the world.

Sorry, again for the long drawn out speech, but not all females can be placed into the "I want this" category. JMHO.

Appropriate presentation for the setting. Not everyone can afford their own personal tuxedo or wear a speedo to the beach but common if what a man chooses to show up is clearly not appropriate for the setting or him then I am not busting his chops but I am probably going to think he lacks basic intelligence and pass him over.

Manners. Anyone 18 and over can master some basic social graces. Good grief they teach most of them in kindergarten. Still don't know check out a book, look up references on line, ask someone more knowlegable for pointers, just watching how others, especially your host, acts in most settings. This starts by reading the rules of the road weather it is on line net-equette or in person. People who demonstrate vulgar manners on line why would they get any real time? Poor phone manners or date manners why bother. If someone is demonstrating good or even excellent manners that can make up for a lot of deficits is physical attractiveness, status, intelligence, resources, or time to give me that attention I would like. A man who has good manners is just way more likely to have better character and be more tolerable in the long run both as a friend and lover.

Maturity. I often find that many single men clearly have gotten stuck at a level of maturity (or immaturity) that doesn't match their age. Particularly irritating for someone my age that really doesn't want to have to deal with some snot nose kid that hasn't a clue how offensive his cougar fantasy or how ridiculous it is for a 60 something man to expect a peer age woman to still flit around like a horny teenager is. The whole FWB concept is an excellent example of immaturity. I didn't fall for that balogne when I was a kid I sure am not buying it now.

Independence. Yes I would like someone that wants even needs a mate but I want a man who can be independent and actually pay his bills on time, live with in his means, and acquired what one would expect for a person in their life situation. I don't care if a guy is gold plated but if he is 55+ I expect him to have more than two nickles to rub together. I want him to be able to make choices about his life and what he wants to do with it. Some guy I don't care how nice he is if he can't make a choice about where he wants to take a date and how he wants to live his life I am going to write him off as wimped out. I would not someone consider a bully or a controlling person but they should at least be decisive and independent enough to have opinions and a direction for his own life.

Selflessness. There are givers and takers in the world. I refuse to yoke myself to anyone who is a chronic taker and someone who can demonstrate a degree of selflessness in his relationships with family, team mates, coworkers, even the people he does business with impresses me. Treat a waiter or a clerk like some one you can dismiss as a servant, disrespect your parents, have an attitude that you are the center of the universe I don't want to be in it. If you treat other's with dignity, and put the relationship as a priority I will be very motivated to get to know you, make myself available to a relationship, and consider being committed to you.

Lot is said about humor but I have found that I much prefer someone who is just at peace and happy in his own skin than someone who is yucking it up all the time. Someone who can relax and smile or rest and be comfortable to be around is much easier to want to be intimate with both intellectually and emotionally not to mention sexually.
