I think you jsut needto be as honest in your profile as you can and not put what you think people want to hear. It saves a lot of disappointment later.

^^^^^ Sayyyyy - aren't you the bloke who just celebrated his 51st birthday, but has "49" in his profile? Evidently +/- two years is as honest as you can be.

It is very similar to job hunting they both have a 90 day trail period in which one or both can decided its not working out and terminate the contract, then it gets harder to get rid of a person.

'Temp Jobs" are sooooo cool




Not. You get no holiday pay, no perks, no promotion and no pay-off if it doesn't work out.


Well, it was a joke.... ....

But, just so you know, there are temp companies now that offer all benefits...even insurance and paid holidays.

The thing I see has to do with the "want ads" we see here. ;-) The profiles do read like job openings... but they kind of bother me.

So many of them read off with a list of things the person hates followed by a warning to "move on to the next profile."

It's almost like saying, "strenous job with limited chances for compensation."

If these were ads for jobs... I would not be interested simply because it seems like a hostile work environment!

Look, we've all had or share of dating challenges but we definitely should not let the effort to find romance turn into this dry process fraught with apathy.
