As far a "Home" comment, I feel, after seeing other women close to me and family, that they will try to get back into same lifestyle, a home etc. Its nothing derogatory, but its just a feeling I get. Maybe I am a little stand off and have a more of a questioning attitude as of late. Good attitude about the dates. They werent bad, but I may have not been 100% focused on the fact they wanted to meet me to begin with.. Graduate degrees are not a bad thing, but many with grad degrees are with similar people and generally, not always, live in a higher standard of living. And after losing a spouse, its rather hard to get back into that.. I was just reading it as someone who wanted someone with a higher income, kind snotty of me I guess. I know a few women that watch sports just for the husband, not because they like it. Just personal experience.
I gotta say...these comments come off as either pretty picky or pretty cynical. Having a home, a grad degree, interests in sports and/or boating...these are generally positive things. Yet you're reading into each one in a negative light. I suggest not "swiping left" on those factors and keeping yourself open to meeting up in person and vetting the people once you get to know them as well. Unless of course you're reading the negatives because you're just not ready, which is absolutely fine. To LH's earlier comment, maybe you're also still in need of some healing before you date. Again, absolutely fine.
Yes, again, my comments are very judgmental on the OLD sites. Not everyone can make a OLD site profile "pop" and truly show who they are. Some sites try with many questions to get as much data put out there as possible. But, Like I said earlier, its like looking at a book cover.. Havent read the book yet. Grad degree, boats, home, interests in sports. The boating, I get. Many like to be on the water. And, I have never seen a women put a boat in the water in SC, ever. Not saying they dont have boats, own or operate them, but never have I seen one. It would be an interesting purchase to look into. Women into sports, yes, some. But again, I see it more of a guy thing and women support the guy thing by going to watch games, etc. How many women only tale gate parties do you see, or groups of women going to football/baseball/racing events? Be honest.
