singleohioguy: This is the typical woman's "what I am looking for" from what I have seen...
I'd like to meet someone who is honest, caring, understanding and trust-worthy. He must be financially stable. Someone who can have fun yet know when to be serious when the time calls for it. Someone who knows how to communicate and understands that communication is the key to any good relationship.
I guess what I am confused about is that most guys on here would say hey that's me. I am that guy. Yet when we (I) reply to the profile and say hey my name is so and so and I see that you are looking for someone who is stable in life and ect. ect. I get nothing back..
I am by far not the smoothest guy or the best looking and I have my share of faults how ever I feel that if you are just looking for these attributes and someone fills those qualifications then the other person should reply or something. Now I have read a few profiles where the women states hey I am a very physical person and I want you to have a ripped stomach and nice tan and you have to look like a super model ect. Those are the profiles I don't reply to because I know I don't fit that description. So I guess my confusion is this.. If you know what you want and don't plan on replying to someone who doesn't look the part why not say hey don't bother replying unless you are hot and don't have any flaws what so ever?
Now please don't pick me apart because I am by no means saying EVERY woman or man is like this but hello this may be a dating website, however just because you talk to someone doesn't mean your going to go out with them. What does it hurt to have another friend? Isn't that what we are all looking for anyways? A friend.
You, must have been reading my mind!

I was just now, trying to think of a way, to compose a letter (or email) asking what in the world, are people looking for? HALLO!!!
We are all (basically) in the same boat.. Most of us (that are being honest) are single, looking, wishing, hoping and praying for that special kind of love.. But, not many (of us) are willing to stick our necks out there, or give it a chance.. Part of the reason could be that it can be scarey.. But, I think the main reason is, nobody wants to put forth the effort to really get to know somebody..
I don't think I'm disgusting, looking. I'm not skinny, by no means, but, not way over weight, either (maybe a few pounds). I still have all my faculities and can carry on a decent conversation.. I like to laugh, sing, dance, walk, run, picnic, fish, boat, vacation. Probably, I like the same things, most people like (maybe a little more or a little less).. But, what the heck??? Nobody wants to even take a chance? I'm, definitely not throwing myself out there to just anyone - but, you would think, out of all these so called "lonely" people - there would be a connection, somewhere - sometime..
Thats why I live alone and love it!.. People are FICKLED!.. Who needs all that much drama, in ones life?
Oh, by the way - GOOD LUCK TO YOU!..
