people are different and no one should say everyone should be a certain way. You have the right not to contact them. Freedom of speech is great;
And SOME people are too young and too far away.  | |

I guess I prefer a girl that wears sandals over heels ... but I am not going to put No High Heels on my profile ... most girls just want a ride on the Harley and don't care what I say ...
I am going to read about the third date rule now!! | |

Posted: 8/19/2009 1:47:49 PM | I agree, OP. People should be positive as much as possible on their profiles. However, if some members insist on being negative, they are just giving up a portion of their prospects to the more positive members, so that's OK, too. I'm willing to take on someone else's contacts via my more positive profile.  | |

guess what purti whispered to me
spring in December it's all cool
if i were pink glasses won't sound like a fool
People should write what they wanna write... Not sound a particular way or the other to please someone...
The people I went out with who had the most positive profiles turned out to be really scary bitter and dangerous people... So now my profile is negative... do I get a cookie? | |

Posted: 8/19/2009 1:58:34 PM | | To me, when they write that negative stuff in their profile it is not telling me what they don't want, it's telling me who they are as a person. Yes, I realize that NO girl wants a short guy. And I know that they are not just looking for a one night stand and they want you to have a job. That goes without saying. If you use your profile space to state negative things which go without saying intead of using it to write interesting things about yourself...then that is very telling. | |

Posted: 8/19/2009 3:02:30 PM | | I LOVE it when their profile consists of negativity! It allows me to WEED them out really quickly!!!!! At least they aren't being fake and they are letting you know you don't want to get to know them!!!!! | |

Posted: 8/19/2009 3:32:50 PM | I like 'em negative; it puts all of the issues right out there. If I see a guy say, "Looking for a woman who won't cheat on me and take all of my money," I know he's in a bad place right now and is likely to hold the next woman responsible for his ex's sins. By the same token, a woman's profile saying that liars, cheaters and deadbeats need not apply tells me that she hasn't made good relationship choices and is likely to hold the next man responsible for her ex's sins.
Likewise the "no drama" clause for both sexes. That just means they have so much in their lives already that if any more is added, they will probably wind up in the loony bin.
Maybe those are some big assumptions, but as a general rule, I've found that what people express outwardly is a pretty good indicator of what's going on inside. Since I'm generally a positive, optimistic person (some would say delusional ), I have no interest in being with a person who isn't. I was in a long relationship with a negative, unhappy person, and it really sucks, so that became a really important criterion for me.
That being said, I think it's perfectly fine to list some criteria like, doesn't want to date someone with kids, doesn't want a LDR, that sort of thing. I've never understood all of the height, weight and racial requirements, but to each their own. Weed away! | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 2:08:20 PM | | Abe Lincoln Said "Folks are about as Happy as they make up their minds to be." I make up my mind to be Happy each morning - yup - I'm shiny happy people - bad drivers don't upset me ... two day blizzards are a hoot - dog dies I can rescue another one from the humane society ... no guilt, no fear, just fun baby! OK - we all have our moments ... I sometimes use bad language when the Vikings lose a close game ... but this year is different ... superbowl baby! I'm going to go have a strawberry slushie with my daughter and listen to some peace lovin' hippie music ... Love You All! | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 8:31:55 PM | I have an idea that I am going to test. Reply to those negative people by saying why are you so negative, what type of positive people are you going to find like that? I may just do it, since I am now in the market for two weeks and it has been like shooting fish in a barrel. So I need to make it more difficult.
