Never asked the income, ways too personal. LOL

If by "men I pick" you really meant "men who initiate contact, and I choose to answer"
then
a) you're not really picking them -- they're picking you out of the crowd, and (I'm guessing) you're trying to give a chance to all but the most obvious goons
b) Suggest you initiate contact with men you DO pick based on the profile

As to whether it's the norm --
yes, and no.

Yes, it is the norm, for men who want to hook up quickly. The quickest way to find out if she is of like mind, is to move quickly to sex talk and see if she balks.

No, it is not the norm, for men of substance, in 2012 any more than it was in 1982.

1. Hello, how are you?

2.What would you like to drink?

3. Where would you like to sit?

4. ...after that I make it up as I go along.

Call me old fashioned, but I find it odd to interview dates with set questions. Doesn't it depend on the individual? I mean, you wouldn't want to muddle up "How was your rehearsal?" and "Did you have a near death experience?" between an actor and someone who's recovering from a heart attack, would you?

Do you have any STDs

Not unless the Messiah's returning as a microbe.

or other critters?????

I have a daughter, a granddaughter, a lurcher and I found a wee toad in the garden yesterday.

I've been thinking about this one. The most important questions for me should ideally be answered in one's profile, such as:
Do you have have kids, and if so, how many, and how old are they?
Do you want to have (more) kids?
What qualities are you looking for in a man?

If these questions aren't answered in her profile, I generally pass.

I have asked women in the past the availability of someone to watch the kids when she wants to go on a date, but I'm pertty much done dating women who have kids of an age that would need someone to stay with them.

I think I may start asking women if they keep their cell phone on and/or answer calls/texts during dates, because unless they're on call for work or have a loved one in poor health, I'd take a pass if the answer is "yes". I expect a woman I'm on a date with to be on a date with me, not with her phone.

My top five questions.

1). Are you mentally unstable?

2). How mentally unstable are you?

3). Is your mental instability benign or malignant?

4). Why are you getting mad at my questions about your mental instability?

5). Why did you lie about your mental instability?

6). (optional...I sometimes run instead of posing this question) Is that gun you are pointing at me loaded?

Do you have any STDs or other critters?????
What postions do you like????
Do you swallow????
Are you bi????
And how would you define "openmindness"????

****snort**** Geez, I just have to answer: No STDs, but two critters (I do love my pets); I'd prefer to be a CFO rather than a CEO; I swallow all day, everyday (funny how much saliva a mouth can produce); I'm semi-bi (I was married to a Portuguese man, it was important for me to speak at least 1/2 Spanish); I define "openmindedness" by how someone views midgets, jello and purple duct tape (I love to see those smaller folks wrestle around in jello trying to duct tape one another down.) (My Friend? Since that weekend of tragedy for you a couple weeks ago?? I think you're funny-bone is much more active than it previously was.)


What are your 3, or 4, or 5 most important questions you ask someone new? Is it me, or is it just the men I pick - a lot of questions I try to ask them, they turn it into something sexual. Is this the norm?

OP? Have you ever tried to simply converse, versus asking questions? I don't seem to get much sexual innuendo or sex talk ~ but I don't ask questions, I converse. I'm not one who's comfortable with a job interview for my personal endeavors and I have met very few men who like that type of exchange. If you simple talk to one another and listen? You'll get a lot more information than if you play a game of 20 Questions. JMO

#1 So how many of your body parts are fake?
#2 So you say you're looking for a "real" man?

1). What do you want out of life?
2). Do you want children one day? (I don't.)
3). Are you a virgin? (I believe in abstinence.)
4). Do you like Zombieland?
5). Would you be interested in taking up a martial arts class? (I want to be assured that they can take care of themself if I'm not around.)

It never got 'sexual' if it had I would have paid for my wine and walked out. What you are getting from these losers is complete disrespect. Don't rush to meet after one email and do not put up with any bulsh1t. A first meet or date should be friendly and very respectful. What you have discovered is exactly why these wackos are alone.


*APPLAUSE*
I haven't time to read all the other responses (which i always do) but carolann0308 has absolutely nailed it with her Post!!
I responded similarly last night in another Thread that **most** women do NOT like talking about sex straight out of the gate and yet a LOT of men really dont seem to understand this which is perplexing to me and i know im not alone in thinking this!

I have had the same experiences on POF, someone finally told me, it was because I put sexy in front of grnecountrygirl and that the type of relationship I was looking for " no long term, friendship, hanging out" indicated that I was only interested in sex. So here I was getting 20-30 somethings also indicating penis size etc and married men wanting a casual affairs...The internet is a great tool, to obtain information to learn about things but for some reason there are perverts out there on a mission to be ass holes to women who are lonely and only want to meet someone nice and have a relationship...ugh

But I am alone, too, that does not make me a wacko.


Being alone is not bad, talking abut your junk on the first date is bad.

I usually just try to say anything to make a conversation...I may not even really care about what i'm asking about... lol just trying to get to know them...break the ice......If i'm really interested then I will talk away and keep the conversation going...If i feel butterflies...then sometimes i get really shy ...and hope they do all the talking lol...I'll always get back to them if they contact me...I ask what they like to do for fun...where they work...what they are looking for in a relationship ect. when they turn it into sex...watch out...their intentions are very wrong....or they are trying to turn you off ...because they think you are nice but dont have the gutts like men should to be honest with you....talikng about sex...very bad...you have to be very careful on here...rapists, murderers, serial killers...you really never know who or what you are really meeting...be very very cautious...sex talk...hes not a decent guy...dont talk with him anymore...and you should be upfront and tell him it makes you feel uncomfortable...he has issues

Some of these things will be asked over messages before agreeing to meet (because they will be deal-breakers and I might as well not waste time) or, if in person, either asked directly or just figured out.

- What are your views on casual sex/FWB/FBs? (If he thinks it's ever ok, I'm out.)
- Do you drink? (I'm looking for someone who doesn't drink.)
- Do you like animals?
- What sort of career are you working towards (if not there already)?
- What are some of your favorite things to do in your spare time?

The first two are big ones. Others are good to know for compatibility's sake.

ok the lastest johson repot and masters report says men think of sex 50 times a day ok so at some point as sexual beings men will ask and talk , most men see intimacy as sexual i think and not just talking to , but i think if you are ok with it ok talk if not say so , and if he is only out for that reason he will move on , or she in my case to , i like to talk about anything

i think it's best to let them just ramble and listen closely to what they are really saying! Asking questions many times will get you answers that they 'think' you want to hear....
In all honesty my first criteria is a man who is super self confident and decisive. You would not believe how hard it is to find a man who is not afraid of women, or afraid to say no, or afraid to choose the date, etc... (a real man) so i ask questions that will give me an idea of how in charge he is etc..

Me: How about movies, what are your favorites?
Him: Do you think I should shave my balls or do you like men all natural?


Long name for a movie. No wonder I can't find it on IMDB.

Here are my questions AKA "The test"

1) What number president was Abe Lincoln?
2) What is the Geneva Convention?
3) How many oceans are there?
4) What is taught in Political Science class?
5) After how many dates is a man entitled to have sex with that woman?

1)" The 5th" (5 dollar bill gets em every time)
2)" Where a bunch of ppl sit around talking about coffee?"
3) "1 right, I mean they are all connected"
4) "The politics of science, duh"
5) I think after 3 or 4, maybe 5"

FAIL!! But honestly, even if he got them all right, he would still have failed....Why? Because NO man at ANY time is "entitled" to sex from a woman

It is a real test, so I've heard, but I have never actually asked these questions....

I cant agree more with you Scottie! When I met up with another I silenced mine right away. If anything does come through on it, will look but if not important dont even respond.

I've had first-time chat conversations that went sort of like this:

Me: So what do you do for a living?
Him: I'm in sales. How big are your breasts?
Me: Big enough. Do you have kids?
Him: Yeah. Do you shave?
Me: Only my legs and armpits. What do you like to do in your spare time?
Him: Cum. Do you like to give oral?
Me: Only during final exams. So what do you look like?
Him: I'm 3 and 3/4 inches when soft, but don't let that fool you, it gets all the way to 8 and 1/4 inches when fully erect and it has a 26 and 1/2 degree curve to the left with a little scar where the doctor slipped with the scalpel a little when he was circumcising me and I keep the hair trimmed back to 5/8 of an inch around the base to make it easier for you to deep throat me. Wanna see some pictures?
Me: That's ok, surprise me someday. So what kind of music do you like to listen to?
Him: Hmmm, I need a trim......
Me: How about movies, what are your favorites?
Him: Do you think I should shave my balls or do you like men all natural?


Damn this is good. I am trying to cure my addiction to the forums and you put this on? Come on. Way too funny.

If we hit it off I tease their brain a little to see how serious they are about a relationship. I have reasons for asking these questions. I want to know if he can think on their feet and if he is the kind of man I am looking for. I have yet to find the answer I'd like but oh well

Random Question number...
1: If you and I were in a committed relationship and I wanted to do something that you knew might not be good for the family, but I really, really, REALLY wanted to do it.... would you say yes?

*They always say it depends on what it is...but it doesn't to me. The answer is in the question so it doesn't matter what it is. Every guy I have been with always answers the question the same way.

2: The deserted island question: You have a choice. Your best guy friend who is an excellent craftsmen or a beautiful young woman.

3: Do you want kids?

4: If you were madly in love with a woman who you knew was your match in every way...what s a better engagement presentation....a $25,000 diamond ring or a $25,000 down payment on a house?

5: Do you chew tobacco, spit snuff or smoke cigars?
