Here are some random yaddas and blahs. The following is not suitable for all audiences. Reader’s discretion is advised.

Where to start… life’s a trip – fall with grace. If you can’t beat ‘em, find a better weapon. Nah, that’s getting boring. Let’s see.. I’ve lived a wild life. Ex-adrenaline junkie, ex-bad boy. Like street racing, brawling, flying through the woods squeezing through trees at 50mph – that sort of thing. Thankfully, I grew up before I ended up dead or in jail. I’m a different breed, old school meets new school. I have a habit of sacrificing myself for the greater good. I would always choose saving the life of a child over my own – I wouldn’t think twice. I’ve always been the type to run toward gunfire, not because I like it, not because I want to get hurt, but because sometimes – it’s what it takes to get the job done. I wanted to be a Marine for one term just to do it, but I did NOT trust the Bush administration. Seriously, I’m supposed to follow a man who cannot pronounce nuclear? (Nukular, haha). On a side note, I’m not an Obama boot-licker, but cut the man some slack. Bush started with a 500 billion $ surplus and left us with an 11 TRILLION dollar debt. Can I get an amen? How about a damn right? Nothing? Hrm. Politicians are like diapers – use the same one long enough, it’ll be full of shit. I’ve thought about being one, but I have.. what’s that thing called? Oh yeah, a spine. Moving on. I’d say I have common sense, but I believe Einstein said it best: Common sense is a set of prejudices one acquires by age 18. More like uncommon sense these days anyway. I tend to get along better with black people than whites. Maybe it was playing football for Central, maybe it’s the admiration I have for Dr. King, but darker the skin, closer to kin. Not really the ‘I’m so hard’ type but more the ‘I rose above the struggles and made something of myself without turning into a pretentious douche’ type. By the way, if you’re ignorant enough to judge a race by the acts of a few, use stereotypes, or are racist – we won’t mix. At all. Uh, if you’re still reading this and you’re thinking about talking to me about a relationship – let me make something clear. First, I’m a live and let live guy, and have a few gay friends, but if you’re into girls, we won’t work. Sure, it’s nice on the surface. I’m a guy, I like sex, I’m quite good at it (I have references), but it’s the easy way out, and it lets you run away at the first hint of trouble. There are plenty of boys who will go for it. If you want this man, you can’t have your cock and eat it too. I’m not really overly vulgar, though more than some uptights can tolerate. They’re words, used to emphasize a point. Horses for courses, of course. A quick note about religion, since there’s no fill in the blank option. I was raised in church, churned at the hypocrisy, turned agnostic, and finally realized that coincidences aren’t coincidences if they happen all too often. If that isn’t the proof pudding for your palate, my life was much better before I thought God’s last name was damnit. No dogma for me though, thanks. If you want to launch into a theological debate on a first date, it’ll be ‘Check please, thank you’ as I stick you with the bill for wasting my time. I’m not an ass, just a guy with 20 minutes free and nothing better to do than write a bunch of random blurbs on a silly online dating profile. Disappointed about Hugh Laurey leaving House, that was a great show. Ah well, he’s a talented guy, look forward to his blues album. I think I’ve put enough tangents here to make a circle a porcupine, so best of luck PoFers. If you’re still reading this and realize it’s a satirical work (or know what satirical means), good for you. If you see me around K******e feel free to say Hey- but please- if I’m with friends, don’t mention you know me from here. I’d hate to have to pretend you gave me some ghastly affliction requiring a special shampoo and a tiny comb. Peace, I’m out.

There’s this guy I work with who is extremely shy and reserved. I notice that he stares in my direction ALOT when we work together. Also, a co-worker asked him if we were dating because when I was asking him a question about something one day she said, "his demeanor changed." She said he got "happy…and that she isn’t used to seeing him like that because he’s always so dark and mysterious." And I also noticed that when I was talking to him he was standing REALLY close to me. I had mentioned to another co-worker that I thought he was cute and she casually mentioned it to him. She said he got happy and ever since she told him he’s been talking to me more and more but he hasn’t asked me out on a date or for my number or anything. The other day he asked me when I worked again and what time I come in. However, on that day, he didn’t say a word to me but he did stare a lot, like usual. When we work together and he walks by me, he’ll look in my direction and smile and he gets this "soft look" in his eyes and then there are other times where he’ll walk right by me and not look at me or anything. I found out that he has an online dating profile and he is active on it all the time. Which is why I refuse to believe that he is interested in me. What do you think? Do you think he’s interested in me and just too shy to say anything to me? I would really like to get to know him better, but he’s making it difficult. lol

I asked him what he was doing after work and he said, "I’m always so pissed off by the time I leave here I don’t feel like doing anything." Then I told him I would go because I didn’t want to get him in trouble and he said, "Oh no. You’re fine. I don’t get in trouble." Like as if he wanted me to stay and talk to him. But the whole time I was standing there with him, he didn’t look at me hardly at all. I found out that he has an online dating profile and he is active on it all the time. Which is why I refuse to believe that he is interested in me. What do you think? Do you think he’s interested in me and just too shy to say anything to me? I would really like to get to know him better, but he’s making it difficult. I’m just as shy as him!!

A woman in her late sixties just destroyed her relationship though undesirable behavior.It’s repeat of the past.Been there and done that before.She is now on dating sites going for round four.With the exception of basic information,not one word of her profile is the truth.She knows full well she can not live the lie,She also knows if successful she will mess up someone else’s life.Do these kind of people ever learn and are they completely void of conscience and morals?

I’m a 33-year-old, heterosexual male who is single:

I am a subscribed/paid membership, totaling to at l e a s t 0.00 per month, to the following Internet ‘dating‘ sites to “ ‘find’/‘look’/‘seek’ for a ‘love’ mate and experience mutual ‘love’ with this person”:
1. Yahoo.com
2. Match.com
3. True.com
4. Eharmony.com
5. Chemistry.com
6. FriendFinder.com
7. Passion.com
8. BigChurch.com
9. MySpace.com

I place/post photo(s) of myself on my personal ad/profile for each of the websites listed above.

After I read the match’s personal ad/profile, I write and send a different email to each ‘match’ for initiating contact with peer-aged match (the woman or women).

However, I constantly experience that the ‘matched’ person(s)— the peer-aged women–; regardless of race/ethnicity, regardless of her photo or none on her personal ad/profile; that the peer-aged Women do selectively eliminate me– they do n o t reply to any of my email(s) I sent– as potentially being her either platonic friend or amorous/romantic partner based upon h e r preference selection of "Her Ideal Person’s" traits, such as:
1) Height,
2) Race/ethnicity
3) ‘Body type’, and
4) Income/Occupation.

A. What is going on with the Online Internet ‘Dating‘/"Personal Ad" craze/fad or ‘thing’– "Woman seeks Man"/"Man
seeks Woman"? ? ?

B. Where are the real Woman; n o t the Woman who are fake/’flakes’ or n o t those that are " teasers of
written/worded Personal Ads/Profiles, photos, and such)” ? ? ?

C. What is this: “Popularity Contest”, “Flauntiest Teasing”, “Flirtatious but Fickleness/Finickiest” of these
heterosexual peer-aged people; both men and women; with the Internet/Online Dating Website trend or
‘craze’/‘fad’? ? ?

I use a site that allows winks and emails. I winked at a woman and she winked back. I emailed her with a tasteful compliment, expressed an interest in meeting over lunch or coffee some time, and asked a couple of simple questions to get some chat going. She sent a reply email saying that she is taking her profile down but would be interested in hearing from me again. She didn’t even answer my simple, non obtrusive questions to get the ball rolling. Did she want me to start over with a new email? This response was confusing and annoying to me since I look for a progression in communicating, not starting over. Since she was making me unhappy from the start I promised myself that I would send an email to close things out and never reply to anything from her. There are too many other women out there to waste time like this! I am a man of my word so I let her know I would not be sending any more emails. What was she thinking by returning my wink and then sending such a silly email repl

I have a profile on plentyoffish.com. I’m a young 25 year old african american male. But everytime I send a first message to a girl that I’m interested in, I never get a response back. I have a profile picture of myself smiling and positive. Girls always say that they’re tired of the different messages they recieve that’s full of jerks sending them bad message. I always send them positive messages talking about their interests and even complimenting them on their smile. But no response. Not even at least a thanks but no thanks type message. I think race has something to do with it because I put a picture of a average white guy with my same words and I get responses back left and right from the same females who didn’t even respond to my messages! It’s crazy. It seems like girls are raised to date every race of guys except black guys. I feel like I’m not ugly at all and have had girls tell me I’m attractive in real life. I feel like I’m cursed being black

I know a picture worth a thousand words, but:

What kind of profile / card catches your eye in dating websites?
How do you like the guy to describe himself?
What qualities are a turn on for you and which are turn off?

I have a profile posted. Duh, I am 42, why would I even consider having children at my age. My screen name includes the word child free.

I even say in my profile, that I had a vasectomy and I am not interested in having any children ever. I also state that I am a good “big brother”, or “uncle”, but I am no “father”.

I marked NEVER, under “Wants children”.

I have messaged some women that call themselves child free, or marked “Do not want children”. Not all of them are firm on that stance.

I also get an average of two messages a day. Most are from women much younger than I am, that want children. I don’t get it. Do they actually read anything? When they do a search basic info shows up. This basic info contains my photograph, region, age, height, and body type, and screen name. They have to click again to see more. If they did, they would know that I don’t want children. What do you think encourages them to message me, when they didn’t read my whole profile? Being over 6′ tall? Having a job? I only have average looks.

miabella Child free women are not barren. They can have children, but don’t want them. Like me. I know a lot of them but they are all married.

I think I am going to date only "empty nesters" these days, or those that have children that are almost out of the house.

I tried a child free web site www.idonotwantkids.com. There are about 20 men to every woman on there. There are almost no child free women in my entire state.

Ok, I’m pretty sick of getting no responses from girls on dating sites. I’ve messaged about like over 200 girls and I get no response. I send well thought messages too. I doubt it’s my profile. It’s the pics and no one finds me interesting which is BS because I put up a fake pic of some other guy and i got hits everyday without touching a word about myself! My next time is hiring a professional photogapher to take headshot pics of me. I’m not an ugly guy. Would I be more successful with the ladies if i get some professional pics done???

there is this dating site i am on and this one woman from another state(but not that far away)showed interest in me.when i read her profile there were a lot of misspelled words.for example instead of the words son or heart.she wrote sone and hearth.so is this some sort of scam or do you thing this woman just cannot spell?also her profile says she is white/Caucasian.

Let me start by saying, right now I don’t plan to write him back.

But this struck me, and I wonder if I’m being too harsh. I recieved a ‘wink’ from someone, and I wrote him back. My email was short, and in a nutshell – "Hey, dig the profile. Would like to chat a little more, keeping this short for now. What kind of stuff do you like to do on weekends?"

Response: "I like to hang out with you on weekends! We should chat on messenger or the phone etc…"

I’m reading it as desperate, frankly. Yes, it was that short, and that was the wording. Of course there is a CHANCE he was just being funny, but I’m wondering if I’m over-reacting or if I should be taking this as a red flag. Guys with their own lives are important to me, clingy and I don’t get along. Am I best off letting this one drop? Or am I seeing a red flag where there is none? Thanks Yahoo Throbbing Brain!

Online dating: I told a guy I was interested in (I liked his profile) in him, and he messaged me back asking me how come. I told him that I liked the fact that he was in school, handsome, blah blah. He is kinda unresponsive, like i will ask him a question and he will just answer with 1 word or a sentence and he wont even ask me a question back.

Do you think I blew it by telling him i was interested, and now he Knows he has me and is acting like it? (like im just an option not a priority)

Is there anyway I can bounce back from this, or do you think he may not be interested?
Waterdragon you are completely right! Its weird because if he wasnt interested in me then why type anything back? but since he is typing back (But he is being very short) maybe he is playing games…but personally i wouldn’t waste my time.

I have confidence and dated a few women after meeting them in person the old fashioned way. But it never got towards a second date. A lot of my female friends have told me that I’m physically attractive but they never saw me as a potential date. So I joined a free dating site online. I posted pictures of myself and wrote a brief and confident summary. In other words, I didn’t include my income and kept it blank because I’m currently unemployed.

Lold and behold, after joining the dating site for 4 days, I SENT 73 messages to women where I complimented their looks lightly and focused on their inner qualities. However, they were all attractive to me. The downside is, only 3 replied and kept it friendly.

So I clicked on another box to see who viewed me, well, roughly 31 women viewed my profile. Only 14 were physically attractive. The rest were not physically appealing but had a decent profile.

My question is: Am I wasting my time because women only join dating sites to stroke their egos? Or are they picky and I’m not their type?

I am a guy and I joined one of those internet dating sites. Anyway, I have gotten hundreds of visits to my profile the past week and a few e-mails from girls. Do normal dating rules apply to the Internet? In other words, as a guy, should I approach the women who visited my profile but did not leave a message? Or are women more assertive online? In other words, if they visit my profile, they will leave me a message if they are interested? Thanks.
I date online because…
1) I am busy
2) I am shy

So I’m slowly working my way back into the dating scene after a very long time. Slowly being the operative word. I threw my profile on a site and have "met" one person that I really like. We have e-mailed and IM’d a couple of times and seem to have a lot in common.

So my question is: what do you do next? How long do you wait before doing stuff like asking for their phone number or asking them out on a date?

I was pretty clueless back in the day and it doesn’t seem like much has changed! :–) I want to go slow, but not too slow and lose her interest, and I don’t want to go too fast and then she thinks I’m creepy.

Words of wisdom anyone?

I sent a guy a "ice breaker" on an online dating site. It said: "Looks like we have a lot in common". We’ve e-mailed back and forth for 3 weeks now and we have good chemisty. I am still just a little puzzled by what he meant when he said "I’m flattered". Those were his first words to me followed by compliments to my profile. I’m significantly younger than he is, is it anything to do with age?
jordan you’re not very helpful. chemistry.com wouldn’t be marketed if people couldn’t have chemistry before they met.

a little advice: stick to answering the question and don’t go off on irrelevant tangents or analyze the question itself.
I don’t think I’m reading into it. It’s a random thing to say to someone when you first meet them. Especially if it was personally typed by him.

I am dating him for 9 mts now( I am physically with him) not just online dating. We met online. First 2-3 mts , I still went on dates with others, but after that I took my profile out, his stil on for months later and he took it out3-4 mts ago. One day i found his on, right here. Different pictures but same words. I am not quite sure it was here first or after , he took off from other site. I didn’t know how to ask him. So my friend set up account here with her pictures and profile. she got his "Icebreaker" message this morning. So my gf sent short reply back. We usually plan for the weekend tonight. I am ok with him looking around without pursuing. But Physical contact is unacceptable for me. What should I do? my gf told me to wait if he response because some guys just love to look around like window shopping…what do you guys think?
