Online Dating Etiquette -- It would be rude to ask face to face
Posted: 5/26/2009 6:19:08 AM
I have no problem answering any question someone may ask, whether it's online or face to face. It is my choice whether or not to answer anyway, so ask what you will.

I do have on my profile " few extra pounds" but I have been told on many face to face encounters that they believe that is not correct for me. If someone was to ask for my BMI, I can give it to them, it would indicate overweight. I have full body shots in my profile, however I have not posted some of the less flattering pics of myself, lol. What difference does it make? Some will find me attractive, some will find me ugly. So what? If I'm not what you want, move on. If you are not what I want, I will move on. If you ask things that are too rude to ask in person, so what! I just don't have to answer if I feel it's none of your business.

Happy fishing!

I dont get offended, and I realize most peope will ask to weed out the possibility of being tricked. Many have been tricked into meeting people they otherwise would not have met, so asking is fine. It's all in how you ask.

"I am not one to normally ask such a question, but after the last few meetings I have had from online, I feel I must ask, how much do you weigh?" Is a lot more acceptable than 'are you fat'?

If I ask you how much you weigh, it could be because I am deciding which motorcycle to bring, what suspension setting I need, and if I need to change the seat on the bike....

These are real world issue that need attention.

Still wondering why knowing anyones weight is a concern.....I'll ask again, are the a doctor or nurse???

To me, asking someones weight is just boring.
