Oops, I left out the warning, which is an essential part of any good female profile (and sadly enough, probably necessary!):
"If you're looking for FWB's or threesomes with farm animals, don't contact me. I'm also not into head games, I prefer Scrabble. Lastly, I don't respond to comments like "you've got great boobs", "Let's do it" or "you look just like my Mom". So grow up, boys!"
Ok, maybe I forget or something but what are FWBs?

Friends With Benefits...something I have absolutely no experience with and cannot even imagine but apparently does happen! lol. Gotta go, the football game is still on and new lady from yesterday is emailing me again.

Ahhh yes - the Friends with Benefits. Just what everyone wants in their "perfect relationship"- NOT!
What a game! (People here rent private poolside cabanas with tvs in for the game - all decorated with football jerseys and towels - weird). We just watched it while having lunch at the pool bar
I have to say, I've heard those stories, but don't think I've seen any fake profiles. The guys I have met have all looked like their photos. I HAVE encountered a couple of liars (which is a reason to meet them sooner rather than later for coffee - these guys just want to string you along online for some creepy reason). If they live out of town but claim they are coming to your area soon - definite red flag.
(One guy claimed to be an attorney and writer. I asked him to send me some of his short stories - he did. Very well written. Except when I googled them, they were written by two completely different authors - and neither one was him! lol)
Yes, there are some weirdos online (maybe more on the free sites like the one I use) but the majority are just people like us. No different than going to a party or a bar, really.
You mean there are people out there who do this online dating thing for fun? Wow, that's sick lol! I can think of more fun things to do then sending stupid emails back and forth with ladies I don't even know! It's incredibly mind expanding and exciting to get replies to "how long have you been in this country" "what movies do you like" "what do you do for a living", that is intellectually stimulating stuff. And people do it for fun???? That's sad, if nothing else.
There's pros and cons to every approach to dating. As I said previously the two women I've met so far I really enjoyed. The problem with dating is the vulnerability factor for both parties. Let's face it, most of us on dating sites are there cuz relationships fell apart and often not in the best of ways. While love is something we all thirst for in our lives, romantic or otherwise, it's also something that makes us act in the weirdest ways...and that's what people do when they're scared and want to protect themselves. The fact that you are also approaching people you've never even scouted out in real life adds another degree of uncertainty and anxiety. I try to enjoy my interactions with ladies, whether it's a coffee date, an email, or a phone conversation. There's something to be learned and gained from every interaction. If you don't try and think that way and instead personalize everything (which I can be guilty of at times) you'll be roadkill in the online dating world lol! Rambo lady never contacted me and I thought about sending her a short email just saying I was sorry we didn't get to meet blah blah blah but then it occured to me that I don't really care that much...and besides I can replace her in a heartbeat! Hey, that's progressive thinking for me lol. ...one one more fun dating interaction quote that just came to me "communication isn't hard, men just make it that way" lol.
LOL ~snort~
