There is nothing wrong with having preferences. We all have them - and we're all looking for the one person we're not only attracted to because of their personality, but also their appearance - it's human nature.

So far as getting slammed for them - I find that unacceptable behavior - and that's what they made the delete button for - no need to respond to rudeness. However, if someone is just trying to enlighten you - in a polite manner - you're reply should be made in a likewise manner of respect.

I've experienced this also unforunately. On here, and on other sites. Recently on CS I got a message from a woman criticizing me for dating 21 year olds... hello! Who said I was dating 21 year olds? My criteria goes down to 21 years old, but it's not like I've ever MET anybody that age or go around hitting on women that age!

But the older women get unfortunately, the more likely they are to have had children with Mr. Wrong and that's a showstopper for me right there. I'm very uncomfortable around other people's children, I've tried dating single mom's in the past and it just tore me apart inside... I don't want to do that again, there's no point in it. I haven't had children with anybody, and I'd only be comfortable dating a woman who hasn't either... which means I don't get to go out on dates very much, unfortunately.

As far as body size goes, I'm of the opinion that any woman that's shorter than me had better not weigh more than me... somethin just not right about that, IMO. If I were to ever get married, which seems less and less likely at the rate this is going, I WOULD like to be able to carry my bride over the threshold... I like to work out and lift weights, but I'm no power lifter for Pete's Sake! LOL!

Lastly, when you 1st meet somebody you think you might be romantically interested in, if you aren't both *thinking* about how it awesome it would be to be naked in each other's arms... then you're most likely never going to be more than "just friends". There has to be a physical attraction between two people, otherwise you are basically destined to be friends at most or perhaps a "booty-call" if you're really desperate. If you aren't taking care of yourself now, you probably aren't going to get any better down the road.... life's a journey not a destination, enjoy the trip and make the most of it!

Women are weird, that's all I can figure. Little wonder I'm perpetually single.

Michael...we're all in the same boat!

I readily admit that i like women who look like models ..... thats just me .... its my preference ...... if someone doesn't like my preference, thats ok because i am the one living my life .... let them live theirs ......

women, who are not like models, also need love too, bro

i am sure that all women need love .... however i only prefer the ones who look like models ...... the reason being is that i can pretty much have whatever woman i want ..... (not to be big-headed) but this is just what i am attracted to.... if the attraction isn't there, then i'm just not interested .... and by the way, people CANNOT choose, what they are attracted to .....

Hmmm... I should move to Paris then. The Houston area is the pitts I swear. Most single gals around here are either Prego or BBW. It is truely bad here.

Speaking of women who are models (or, actresses in this case), is it just me or is Meaghan Fox (from the Transformers movies) a total fox (what're the odds?) but with almost no personality to speak of?

I was watching her on TV a few weeks back as she was doing the late night talk shows about the latest Transformers movie, and while she has the looks I found her personality to be almost non-existant.

I guess not all models/actresses are created equal.... lol!

Meghan Fox while lovely seems to have no personality whatsoever.

To the original poster here's a link that you may find very interesting.

He painted women who were considered very healthy and sturdy.

Ahh... so it isn't just me then that thinks that. LOL!

I saw her on 2 late night talk shows (David Letterman and Jimmy Kemmel, I think) on 2 different nights and each time either she really hated having to be "there" or else the girl simply has no personality to speak of... the hosts were doing all they could to get her to TALK and quit answering every question with "Yes" or "No". It was almost funny... almost.

Come to think of it, I've had 1st dates that weren't half that good looking but were every bit as lacking in the personality department... it was a struggle, I felt like pulling my hair out trying to talk with them! Such a relief to part ways I swear.

lol ...... i don't really worry about always having intelligent conversation ..... everyone isn't intelligent ..... but when i'm with a girl, i just focus on making fun of them and "pickin" at them and messing with them ... lol .... i treat girls like brats cuz thats what they are .... lol ......

You can say that again! LMAO! ROF!

no harm no foul with me, I'm not petite- more curvy hourglass, and well I don't like "skinny" men for same reasons as you've said, yep I've dated them and just don't prefer them- like meat on the bones personally. It's fine by me.

Preferences .... This is a subject that not everyone likes, and those who don't like this type of thing don't like it, because, it excludes people from being picked as your partner or mate or whatever, and it seems that some people can see that as being stuck up ... i don't see it that way .... look at it like this, your preferences make up who you are ... that's just you .... what you like and don't like, makes you who you are, and no one has the right to talk bad about someone just because of what that person likes ..... i suppose unless its something horrible .... or illegal ..... you get the picture .....

Heya Joker, i appreciate the honesty in a profile. if I see that a guy is only wanting thin women then I'm not going to waste my time getting to know him. I'm currently overwieght and losing it at a healthy pace but even when the wieght is off I will still have a curvy figure. I'll never be a size 0 -5. As for women telling you that you don't know what you're missing it's just their immature way of handling rejection. Or i suppose some still have that archaic beleif that they can change a man.

anyway...JMO on that. How are you doing with no smoking?

The no smoking thing has gone up in smoke But I have cut back to about 10 a day. Thanx for you kind reply on the weight issue. And I think that the ones that give me crap about it are the ones that cannot get a date and are frustrated with themselves as well and need someone to take it out on. I wonder if they stopped to think that I would reply to them and ask them out after the nasty-o-gram they send me!
Good luck on your losing the weight you want to lose. I know it is probably harder than quiting smoking.
I am really surprised that I haven't gotten more comments then I have, but this Texas forum kind sux. Not much going on here.

yea if you posted on the international forum you would be getting blasted for sure. The Texas forums have always been slow but they're starting to pick up a little lately. Good luck on keeping the cigs to 10 a day. ;). The hardest part for me on the losing weight is giving up the sodas...so on that level we're fighting the same demon...ADDICTION!!!!

When I get emails from someone who is not compatible I will still answer if they seem nice. Its not that hard to be friendly, maybe they have something interesting to say. if all you can think about is dating then go out and actually meet people - stores -supermarkets and restaurants. You live in a huge Metro Area- get off your computer!

I agree and I do also... who knows, maybe they have a friend who is single and more up-my-alley? It's better to build bridges than to burn them IMHO.

It is quite frustrating however when no woman I try to initiate a conversation with (on CS or any other dating site) replies back. It's like, a nice friendly intro message is just as pointless as a crappy "Hey wanna screw?" message would be... somethin not right about that.
