dang it must of done it wrong. Follow link.

I'm gonna go for "protein" LOL

Wait!

Is this about those cream filled chocolates?


Y'all go ahead.

Hrm....was there supposed to be a pic or something?

It does that if you try to paste a pic in without using the img code.

Found out i can't do it from my phone right.

Amen to this.....

People can’t see past all their wants in a person. Until you spend time with someone and get to know who they are inside and out, you won’t find what you’re looking for.

It’s all about how old you are and how slim you are and do you like sports or camping and so on and so on.

Before online dating, you got to know a person by just dating them. Now with online dating, they want a neat little package before they put any effort into it.

yes, that does seem to be the norm these days.

To paraphrase Robin Williams from "Good Will Hunting," those quirks, flaws, and peccadilloes are the good stuff. We want everyone to see the shiny surface, but only show the other parts to that one special person. What some see as flaws you see as something that makes the bond between you uniquely yours.

Yep.

One person's quirks that may be off-putting to you..or you (the *generic* "you") don't understand and may feel the need to tell them "good luck finding someone, you'll need it.."
They are just obviously not for YOU.

Doesn't mean they won't be exactly what someone else wants/ resonates with..

AMEN.

Whic is why looks are way down on my list...
And "big enough pockets"???
As long as they have their own place, car, and can pay their bills and buy groceries and have a bit of fun money..we're good..

*I* do that...and don't want less.

Most men on dating sites look at photos first when sending a message to a woman. I had a man on Another site ask for a update photo of me in first message. I had a 2018 photo on that Site for couple months already.

Many don't want Relationships anyway. IMO

Meeting in person is the Best for meeting Men.

On another site I have three pictures..
The same one as on here..a full body, and closer up one of my face..
All anyone would need to know WRT my looks.

Dude messages me in part to say "Can't tell much from your pictures"..

Honey..what else do you need?

Moron.

Totally. I blame media ...lol.

I don't really do the blame game, but when you think about it, I do believe alot of our expectation and fantasy comes from what we have viewed from media. Most people did not necessarily have parents with a supermodel mom or gq dad, but they still see it all around in our entertainment when it comes to relationships, so they(I mean we actually) learn to equate what chemistry and love are by these exceptional and above average physical asthetics.

I imagine if relationships would be better if the common denominator in all the romance stories and movies were the emotional and intellectual bond, rather than how hot the characters look to us and to each other. I wonder how different our idea of what constitutes 'chemistry' might be ...

I can't say I fully understand the subject here.

because,
the "food" is written but a little bit different.

The problem might be that "the emotional and intellectual bonds" don't sell movie tickets nor TV advertising.

I dont think we can know when it doesn't seem like there has ever really been a media wide effort to make that the standard. A good story, with good scripts, and good acting will be viewed, in my opinion, without the cast needing to be supermodel material.

Heck, with Hollywood redoing movies that have benn done before, (and *better*)...because they lack imagination to come up with something new....I'd say the default is to write formulaic, cheap, shallow stuff that has sold good a bunch of times before..

Which is why I have only been to amovie theater maybe 10 times in the past 18 years.
Rarely is there anything I'd want to see,,
