I even received a response from one girl stating "I only date people our age that have either been married or widowed". Ummm...OK, lol I guess maybe this has to do with a PERCEPTION of maturity (meaning that if you haven't been married it's simply because you're still sowing wild oats or something?). A PERCEPTION of having a phobia against marriage? I really don't understand this (assuming that's whats going on here). I feel no pressure to get married just because I've reached some magical age. I am getting a little bummed by not finding the right someone for me yet. Better to stay single and occasionaly lonely than to get married to the wrong person in order to achieve approval of friends and family, me thinks. P.S. If you can't follow the above, no worries. I had wisdom teeth pulled the other day and am FLYING on pain medication...you know, PUI (Posting Under the Influence). Cheers  ibcguy Joined: 12/4/2005 Msg: 7 (view)   Ok, I can take it... Posted: 2/11/2006 7:40:20 PM Thanks for all the suggestions. I've made some tweaking to my profile. Any other suggestions?

If flows well.  ibcguy Joined: 12/4/2005 Msg: 5 (view)   Ok, I can take it... Posted: 2/11/2006 10:26:23 AM Thanks for the reply. I would love to change the profile to reflect my actual age, however, I don't like to give out my actual birthdate online (security reasons). At the time I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to go back in later and change my age (POF computes your age from your supplied DOB). Anyone know how to fix this without having to create a new profile? I suppose I could have worded the above statement better (HS drop-out/single mom/double-wide)...my intention wasn't to offend anyone. However, this demographic is making up a large portion of the responses I receive. I would like to change that. Thanks again, IBCGUY  ibcguy Joined: 12/4/2005 Msg: 1 (view)   Ok, I can take it... Posted: 2/11/2006 9:04:55 AM The critique on my profile that is! Initially, I received alot of responses. But after the the intial wave of high school drop-out single moms who wanted me to drop by the ol' double-wide for our first date, I've been in a drought. I know LA (Lower Alabama, lol) has some intelligent, attractive women. Yet I don't seem to hear from them here on POF. What can I do to improve my profile? Thanks, IBCGUY   Show ALL Forums
