What did I miss? is someone being bitter and fed up? or was that just a generalization? that was for Astreaa :D
Have you considered that others might see the interests that they list--I, for one--not as cool sales-pitch tools, ... yes, but as you reinterated from another poster, "afterall, these are ads" 
"I don't kiss ass." Seems like that would be the default attitude for most of us. in my experiences, it just "seems" that way to us. I don't have a chip but if I do I hope I have one on each shoulder, so I can at least be balanced.  This just keeps a lot of the women that want a "pet" or "boy toy" or "maintenance man" from wasting their time and mine. Although I am experienced in carpentry, masonry, framing, roofing and plumbing, I would want to bring that to a relationship as an added extra surprise, not as a criteria for a successful relationship.
You should note that the mail settings edit feature does indeed allow you to omit age specification. I did not know this, thank you and I am glad you posted for all who may not have known this...very handy tip 
I just want to say, I don't expect any of my text to come across the way it does when someone is talking to me or can "hear" it. The tone of voice, the body language, all tend to change the way something is meant. This being the case, I don't expect anyone will "get my meaning" from text and wanted a qualifier in my profile that if anyone is interested enough, they will have to "get to know" me, and I can tell everyone now, they won't accomplish it through text on a message board/forum. I am way more than text on a screen if you want to get to know me.  | |

Would it be OK for a woman, say a fat, gray-haired one (since you don't care about looks or age) to kiss YOUR ass to get you to come over and take a look at the broken shower in the upstairs bathroom?

Posted: 3/18/2007 6:41:20 PM | LOL..I'd be happy to Martha. Something about a "friend in need" comes to mind:) Just say when and I will come fix it. (or did this whole shower ting go way over my head?) lol
Ok wait..I'm confused..was that a pass or was that serious? :D

...was that a pass... Affirmative.
...or was that serious? Affirmative.
We could meet at the Home Depot plumbing aisle and discuss Starbucks and Ethiopian coffee growers...
Oh, wait, I forgot! I can't email you since you haven't used your tools to dismantle that 28-50 wall in your mail-settings.  | |

Posted: 3/21/2007 5:21:54 PM | Sounds like a plan. Just say when. And my wall is dismantled, however there are still so many other ways to contact me, since you found my blog:) lol
Those poor farmers.
Speaking of which, I really need a good topic for my blog, if you have any ideas, I am open. just post a comment there:)

Someone who takes the time to check their spelling. Of course, we all mistype sometimes, but not every other word please!
Someone who actually tells me about themselves, not just "I like the country. I like sex. I like girls."
I have no problems with handicaps, weight, or looks, but I do want to be able to carry on an intelligent conversation with someone. Sometimes that limits my age range or education level. But that's just me.
Of course, I haven't had a date in 8 years, so maybe I'm too picky! LOL! | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 5:06:28 PM | You are so right GG. There is a HUGE difference between a typo and not having mastered the English language. Of course..people that know how to spell, have good grammar, and can type more than one sentence are usually the foreigners and not students from American public school systems.
To me it's a self pride issue, a self esteem issue. If someone didn't find learning english worthy of their efforts, then they probably don't have a lot of ambition for the more difficult things such as relationships, communication and the biggest challenge of all, learning to understand a female. (heh, had to throw that in there just for the fun of it:))
Be careful GG, you could stub your toe on the "depth" of the male psyche. lol | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 5:46:56 PM | Oh, Rocketman... You have my permission. The day you think you can understand me, you can explain me to myself! LOL!
And it's lovely to see a profile of a man who has "depth". Honestly, you have a brain, a heart, AND you can spell? Why haven't you been gobbled up yet?

Posted: 3/23/2007 2:13:54 PM | LOL GG, if I knew why I haven't been gobbled up yet, I'd be gobbled up today
As for the brain, heart and spelling? Well..my mother would smack me in the head with a big wooden spoon that my dad woodburned the words "tough love" into until I finished my english homework
It was a no lose situation..."something" was going to sink in

Posted: 3/23/2007 4:49:04 PM | | I absolutely can't stand poor English and won't respond to it. How hard is it to spell and parse correctly? Oh - and I don't think my profile is a sales job, but I'm open to suggestions. Care to evaluate it and let me know what you think? Please be kind! | |

Posted: 3/23/2007 6:20:40 PM | ummmm........perfect example "your full of shi@" Correction, "You're full of shi@"
This is exactly what we're talking about and its a shame, but perhaps Rocket is right and mostly foreigners speak and write the English language correctly. | |

Posted: 3/23/2007 6:45:42 PM | Baxy, I SOOO loved that one line in your profile. "I seek someone who doesn't scare the horses!" I laughed so hard I think I spotted. I really like the "don't contact me if's.." Way wicked good ones:)
I only have a cell phone because I refuse to pay a monopoly like Bellsouth or any of the bell companies $35 or $40 a month plus inside line maintenance for it to sit on my counter doing nothing AND I can't take a home phone with me, AND it's just one more thing I have to dust or move to dust. But I sure as hell loved the "{men}who ALWAYS seem to be driving some place when they call,". LOL
Now I can ONLY call from my cell phone, unless you want me to drive to a payphone, which..btw...I haven't seen one of those in a very long time. Hmm...must be because we all have cell phones now
Hell, I liked ALL your don'ts
Ruthie~ EXCELLENT call on that one. His comment, from a guy that has "caring and loving" in his profile. And what I would like to know, is why people like that get away with a 4 word post, and I can't get away with less than 4 lines without getting that stupid message that it's too short. . . (the message....not what you were thinking) | |

Posted: 3/24/2007 5:46:04 AM | | Thanks, Rocket and Nowiamme. To the best of my recollection I haven't corresponded with the fellow who dissed me, but maybe I did and turned him down. I always try to be polite when I do that. C'est la vie. If you read the "don't contact mes" with an eye to "if you're married...."...they all make sense. These are the techniques married men have used in the past to conceal their marital status. I just won't go there. I respect marriage - I respect women - and I will not date a married sleazeball..I mean man. | |
