My criteria is probably about the same, except I don't make "excuses or exceptions" anymore for men that are arrogant, rude, or self-centered. I don't care what your childhood was like...if you're 50+ years old you've had PLENTY of time to "work on yourself", and if you didn't.....well, that's not my issue.....

put more priority on personality, commonalities, and intelligence. I have never been attracted to another type, but I would date them just to see. Now I don't have time for that.

I have always desired a man who knows what he wants and is decisive. As far as looks, well personality will definitely add or subtract to my physical attraction to a man.

Intelligence and personality has always been the big attraction for me. Not that I've always chosen wisely, but looks were always less important. It's still the same. If a man stimulates my mind, my spirit and my sense of humor, then he will win me over.

Make me laugh...I love a wicked sense of humor when I was younger and now...the difference is now if someone has addiction issues I'm not allowing myself to become involved with them.

I've always been a sucker for a guy who can make me laugh.

take her to costco for a hotdog and a coke

As always, Friendly is right.

Ahhhh, orgasmic. I wish I still smoked..

I tend to look to get to know something about my internet dating contacts before even getting flirty online never mind a in person meeting. Several have lost interest. Admittedly have always been a slow mover in the dating world.

He did in fact give you his name..

First Light,, the grip loosen every time I read these forums
your not all that clear, in your question, what do you want or expect.. The signing of a name per every Email ?? First to the last.. Email..

No ? It sounds as if you think we should give you First name and last names.. now you tell us why ? or Do we know

So by this post on the first or second mail, Should we so include a sperm count ?

What about the women, will you prove how many of the ex's you cheated on ??

Reading this thread I keep getting this mental picture of two people sitting in a restaurant perusing the menu.

"Sooo, tell me Blue-eyed847, what looks good to you. The steak or shrimp?"

I'm fluffy

The opinions of people that you know are bias and not a true representation of who you are.

When someone (man or women) doesn't sign their name, I wonder if just possibly there is a reason. From fear to game playing, it does say to me that the person isn't comfortable with who they are.

So to answer the OP, If someone is not lettered enough to communicate politely, I doubt if they are worth your time.

I think you are splitting hairs myself

PS: If things have progressed to the point that he wants to meet, yes a name would be important. Disappearing when just asked for a name.... creepy!

i've never had anyone refuse to tell me. must be a Canadian thing!

I can not tell you how many times my mom told me to sign my emails to strangers on a dating site with my name.

Maybe you should stop focusing on the negative.

If you get an email from someone and they do not sign their name and this is a problem for you then right there you should walk away, but you choose to complain about it.

Recognize that for you this is a red flag and walk away, if you try and change people you will just be disappointed in the end.
