| would we be happy if we could arrange to date ourselves?
Posted: 11/6/2009 11:27:10 PM | I was messaging with someone and he said "I sometimes think that many people on this site would be happy if they could just arrange to date themselves"...I laughed gaily: 
But then started to think.....are we asking too much...someone so like ourselves, and with interests so much like our own, that it will be impossible to find someone?
So, do we really want to find someone at all, or are we just pretending, by having a profile on here..."oh look, Self, I've tried so hard, and there's no-one I can be compatible with."
And then I wondered, "oh gosh, would I like to date myself..what would that be like?"(answer: fabulous, stimulating, great food, and of course a bit scarey at times ...... ..hell, now I'll never find someone...except if he can't read or never reads the forums, which presents a dilemma, or is that conundrum, Scholar? ........) no, seriously......
What does everyone in ForumWorld think about these q's? | |

Though the answer to your question is that more than a few people have crammed their lives with activities to the brim to fill the void of not having a partner, and now they are at the point were any romantic partner they would be happy with would first need to be an activity partner.
Their profiles effectively say I have set up this life that I enjoy and if you have the requisite skills you can tag along and carry my bags; it is a tempting offer to be sure, if you actually don’t have a life of your own.
I don’t know if men do this, though it is had to imagine many men putting on their profiles that they are looking for a long term romantic partner with whom they can go fishing or to play golf. In fact the exact opposite is, I think, far more likely to be true.
As far as the women are concerned I suspect that it is one of those split personalities things were the women and the mother are completely different people. The women profiles says I am looking for a long term relationship with someone with whom I can play golf, but when her daughter announces that she is considering marry a wonderful young man that is devoted to her and obviously loves her more than life, mum rarely says “but you like to sky diving and he is afraid of heights, what on earth can you be thinking”.
Would I date myself, god no, it is a simple mathematical fact that for a couple to be greater than the sum of their parts they have to be different in all but a few ways that are either biologically determined or concerned with their fundamental views of life the universe and everything. | |

I'm so darn picky about my date having a penis. But that's me.
strangely enough im quite the opposite.......... but as goes the old joke
"if you have one of those you can get one of these whenever you want......."
this saying doesnt account for quality though

Posted: 11/8/2009 11:42:25 PM | In all humility (and I'm so proud of my humility), of course I'd date me! But in all seriousness, perhaps that's why we're still on POF - we're all looking for a copy of ourselves - looking for someone who totally agrees with our views, likes the same food, activities etc etc
No wonder we're boring  | |

Posted: 11/21/2009 2:51:30 PM | OH GOD NO..l spend enough time eating at home alone!
l wouldnt swap a poor date for anything...LOL
l wouldnt have things to look back and laugh about with friends.....like::
The time this date turned up at the steak house and was all over me like mould on cheese!!....like a rottweiller to a granny!
l nearly had to have him surgically removed!!
But the real scorcher for me was when he pulled out his cameraphone to show me close up shots of the cyste that had burst on his testicle/scrotum the night before our date!!
l was going nowhere!!...ld ordered a steak and wasnt going to run screaming from the building....l calmly looked yet not having my glasses made it easier!
But youre right...there are people who are so anal that spending time with other people is such a chore!!
That people are to be seen totally in the negative....but hey...thats why theyre single and probably will be until the end.Unless they take a strong turn to the left and take in that bloke who's never left his mother! and is a yes man...
Yes mummy....oh yes youre so right mummy.
Theres where they might be happiest...CONTROLING someone. | |
