Posted: 5/6/2008 6:03:38 PM | Someone to grow old with gracefully. Someone who can hold an intelligent conversation. Someone who is a creative thinker ...................
Beyond that, someone who will pooper scoop the backyard for me.
Anyone have an idea where he's located? And damn, I'm even a trained professional in locating people, imagine that........hmmmm. | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 6:21:13 PM | Yup, the only way to answer this question -- which is right up there with "do these jeans make me look fat?" in the Put On The Spot Department -- is with all the tried-and-true, well-worn, good-sounding cliches.
Put me down simply for a dreamboat amongst all the shipwrecks. I'm not really a water breather to begin with.
Or you could just say that you're looking for someone who doesn't ask annoying questions like "What are you looking for?". Or, "it's like obscenity... I'll know it when I see it."
I'm sure Mad Magazine must have done a "Stupid Answers to Stupid Questions" on this one.

Posted: 5/6/2008 8:09:33 PM | | A contract with a good publishing company for my music, a sane and attractive man for a normal healthy relationship, enough money to retire, and some secret way to lose 20 lbs. | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 10:06:59 PM | I can't help you much Enig, except to observe, from experience, that the really attractive fellows are often hopeless narcissists, and the sane ones reliable, content, and mousy. A bore before long. What you want is an exuberant romantic with his dark moods, but poetic, like flannel on the windy moor. Maybe good in the kitchen. Anyway,
I can point you to a recent New York Times article about the health benefits of novelty. Not only does trying new things help to grow new brain cells and otherwise preserve us, but the article says that trying something new regularly seems to correlate with losing weight and keeping it off. They don't know why, but they apparently have the numbers.
Tomorrow? Bend your own pretzel. After that, you're on your own.
Cheers!

Posted: 5/7/2008 11:14:53 AM | | How many have been asked this lol it's not as if it's not in my profile. You know what really does my head in is your start chatting to someone for a few days then they change what their look ing on their profile. I know everyboby can change this at anytime but where do I go from there. For example I was chatting to a girl who was looking for Long Term fair enough I was looking for the same then after a few days changes it to Talk/Email so now what do I do shall ask her about in the risk of scaring her away or not say anything and hope she wants to go on a date.? | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 3:29:06 PM | Thats a very cold and bitter answer.
What about looking for someone to love and be loved ?
Good company to do things together.
If your not into dating why waste peoples time ?
Its the same for men and women, Mr/Mrs Perfect is never gonna turn up, certainly not at my age. | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 3:48:06 PM | To me this question is similar to "so, why are you still single?"
In my opinion these questions stem from a negative approach to dating/meeting.
Some people ask it simply looking for something to say, causing the other person to perhaps take time and thought to answer thereby alleviating the need to talk, by the person asking, for a bit of time in order to think up a more interesting line of discussion.
In my opinion most of the time the question represents, roughly, asking someone to lay out all their insecurities, fears, and ideals to be evaluated and judged without having to reciprocate any emotional vulnerability. Subsequently, for the original OP question, it also gives someone (depending on their focus on the date) the information of your compatibility without allowing you to judge for yourself, whether you are open to a simple physical relationship and how best to manipulate or approach that situation, or simply how to judge you. | |

I think about 85% of the guys I've chatted with on here have started off with that question. | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 7:13:06 PM | Really cant say or let,s put it honestly, Dont Know, because if I would have found it, I wouldnt be sitting here typing . I know what I dont want and it so much easier to have a answer for that, So let,s put it like this. I,m giving up, and if it happens , then I will have the answer, but it will be the right answer for me. I want to be held at night, and wake up in the same way. Sex isnt the most important thing, but I have come to relize, there,s different ways of having sex, and it can mean so much more then the way I use to think of of sex. And another thing, I want to give and be loved. That,s the thing Or now it,s not called a thing, but a feeling I miss having from my late husband. I wonder if I will ever feel even half that way again. I,m not getting any younger, but I have to say I dont look my age , so I would say that,s a good thing for at least now, but I ,m afraid I will be alone for whatever time I have left, and I,m only 52, yea, only Who knows, life does have it,s surprises, I hope I have more then one  | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 1:46:16 AM | | I know exactly what I am looking for in a man. No honestly I am not content alone. As to dating, I hate dating, but seems to be a needed "evil" to get where I want to be. It isn't about needing someone in your life to feel worthy, it is more that needing someone in your life is one of the most basic needs a human has. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 3:43:08 PM | I never find what i'm looking for -- so
I've decided to start looking for alcoholic, unemployed or just financially retarded pigs...
Surely I will stumble over an accidental keeper. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 3:49:14 PM | Yup! I have been asked this question even when my profile says, Wanted: Pen pals and friends!
One of the guys ignored it and said, "Yes, but what exactly are you looking for?" So I said actually to tell you the truth, I lost an antique diamond earring and I have been looking for it for so long. It bugs me because I can't wear just one and that is my favourite pair. He said, "I'll buy you a pair of diamond earrings as long as you promise to buy a good digital camera so you can give me a picture."  | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 4:38:41 PM | | The question is important. I know another dating website that does not use this question and let me tell you it is very annoying... Because you send a message to a girl that does not want to date for example... So you are wasting even more time... | |

Posted: 5/20/2008 3:55:40 AM | I know exactly what I want. OK, well maybe not down to the jean size, eye color or type of car they are driving, but I know that I am looking for someone who likes themselves (#1 requirement), takes care of themselves, likes life and hopefully, has something similar to offer me that I have to offer them. (... sigh...) Why is that so difficult????
