Posted: 7/23/2008 10:16:07 PM | | The question that I dislike is the "Do you want children?" If they answer no, and I have children - not sure how to take that...does it mean they don't want kids at all or they don't want MORE kids...If they answer "prefer not to say" then I assume they don't like children and just don't want to say that or haven't decided...If they answer yes, then I assume they want MORE children, which is not even possible...either way, I am a little troubled with this one... | |

Posted: 7/24/2008 5:15:08 AM | I wish there was the question about intelligence on the profile,,,,or at least what you "think" your intelligence lies on a scale of sorts. And no,,,,not the "education" question,,,cause some of us already know,,,,just because you went to school doesn't mean squat. Of course when I read initial e-mails to me,,,,the intelligence, or lack there of comes right to the forefront fairly quickly. I don't know how many times I have had to reply to initial e-mails women, asking if they actually read AND understood what I have honestly put down in my profile. The majority have said yes,,,,and with that answer I have to assume they are idiots. I hate assuming,,,but they do bring this on allllllll by themselves with their words and actions. | |

aaaah .. that sure clears up lots! lol - Personally I kinda like it when people "get" what I'm saying .. I've never called a "smart" person an idiot and I've never been called an "idiot" because I "understand". Then again, maybe it was all b.s. and I was reading it as a truth. Therefore - I am an idiot. who knew.

This suggestion was made purely in fun of course but it is entirely possible to not have children and have or not have lost one's virginity. Keep in mind that some young people make pacts to remain virgins until married and this question might be important to them.
This reminds me of an incident back in school. Someone asked the class nerd "Are you a virgiin?"
The poor chap replied "No, not yet." and did not realize his error until the whole classroom erupted in laughter. It was funny but I did feel sorry for him.

Posted: 7/24/2008 4:55:58 PM | Since most are not honest about looking for an intimate encounter, I'd like to see a sexually compatibility test. I don't want to meet someone who has one night stands, has sex on the first date, or is just looking for sex. But, I'd like to meet someone who has similar sexual interests.
I would also like to see "Not Looking " but it kind of goes against the whole idea of the site. | |

Posted: 7/24/2008 5:03:40 PM | ^^^The problem with the current not looking option is that it is attached to NOT SINGLE....and that does not apply to me so I do not choose that as an option.
It would be nice if they broke those two apart to be clear. One does not automatically suggest the other in many cases here.
BTW Tang...your photo was awesome..why did you take it down girl....??

nice thoughts, but still boils down to honesty
the not looking would be nice...
maybe we could go over to the site suggestions thread for more serious input

Posted: 7/27/2008 2:50:31 PM | I also think the first 'date' thingy oughta be a 'first meet' .. but that could be just me .. - AlienSecret
When I am single & looking, I call it a first date/meeting, to acknoweldge that some people view
it differently. I do call it a "first date" myself, because going to a park, a movie or out for a coffee
with friends, is not a date. It's hanging out with your friends. And what's the difference?
I am not attracted to my friends. We're just friends.

pparently the new meaning behind putting Friends in your looking category means FWB's.....-CrashingCloe
Yeah, amazing the assumsions people make (not just guys, either). Also some people use "Activity partner",
as a polite euphenisum for Intimate Encounter. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 3:12:30 PM | "First date" or "Meeting" it is just a phrase or a word.
Frankly it matters naught whether the first time you lay eyes on each other is called a meeting or a date. Folks can address that matter individually in their profile, as many already do.
One would think that before you two got to that stage you would have discussed more important things than what to call that encounter and can certainly let the other one know what you will consider that to be.
People tend to have a variety of expectations so it is prudent to establish beforehand whether you expect that to be a meeting, a date, one-night stand, or elopement.
* * * * *
About other qualities that might be useful in a profile, for those who dare to disclose that, would be:
1) their level of libido (high, average, low) and
2) their ease of arousal (always frisky, average or wet blanket).
Those who tend to be at one extreme or the other would be a poor match for someone at the other extreme.
Yes, some people in the pond claim to be looking only for friends, but others seek intimacy, whether in a long or short term relationship, and such information would likely prove useful finding someone with a compatible level of both these qualities. Of course it depends on people being honest in their profiles, and we know that is not always the case in this pond.

Posted: 7/28/2008 10:45:18 PM | I know that for a lot people the kids question can be a big deal, but what about pets?
Dogs, cats, snakes, etc can live for a long time, and require a lot of time and attention.
Does someone having a pet have any impact on your compatibility? | |

Posted: 7/28/2008 11:23:48 PM | Toilet paper: Over the top or behind the roll? For me, behind the roll is a deal breaker.
Toothpaste: Lid on, Lid Off? Important to know before you let the relationship go too far.
Croutons or bacon bits?
Favorite type of movie?
One pillow or two?
a)Did you ever do something and say "Holy $%@# I can't believe I did that!"?
b)Did you do it again?
Have you ever been convicted of a crime?
Do you prefer to cuddle or sit side-by side? | |

Posted: 7/29/2008 9:30:23 PM | About other qualities that might be useful in a profile:
1) food variety (boring, no adventure, average, like to try new things and foods from other culture)
2) how spicy their food can be (milk toast with unchallenged taste buds, average, little bit of zing, bring it on.. ring of fire in the morning!)
I find people who are incompatible on these two scales may have some difficulty when dining out or even eating meals at home.
