Boban1: And they have the same right to exist on this planet... just like everybody els... so why would`nt they message her???


Hi Boban. wave

I think she was exaggerating a little, and perhaps a little mean with her choice of words, but you are right, everybody has the right to contact another on a dating site.

However, only if that person has actually read the profile first AND there are no HUGE differences in what he or she is looking for.

Sometimes a little flexibility is a good thing, and small differences can be worked around.

That is a spot-on comment....I realize I see myself as probably quite a different person from what others see.... I am a scared 5-year-old who wants her mama, sometimes a tomboy, to myself.... To others, I am the "boss" who manhandles a huge payroll responsibility, who can pay my own way, who has traveled, can make decisions.... Ha! teddybear

I´ve already responded to the OP some time ago. I was replying to your response to another post made by freckles (sorry I know I
didn´t get the name quite right).

Of course there are few people who really see themselves as others do, but that is not the same as somebody describing themselves as 6 foot tall and fit when they are quite the opposite, or when someone has specifically requested certain attributes in a potential partner, yet someone who is poles apart from that sends messages.

I think women generally get the flack here for not being honest, or not open about their physical appearance, but as the poster said, albeit a little insensitively, it works both ways, men exaggerate the positives too.

Yes she is only 18 and does have a lot to learn, but I married at 18 and had a good head on my shoulders.
