Figuring Out Your Type (20)
BadinPaid: I've been sitting here trying to figure out the type of women one wants to meet. I really cant say that starts me off to talk to a women. It could be her eyes, smile, clothes, something she said, anything that catches my interest. I ran the gambit dating or relationships with women and never had a set type. Yes there are things I dont like in people on general, rudeness, lying, over sense of worth, dumbness and what not. I really cant know if I connect with someone until I know them.
The next paragraph is ramble, read if so desires too. Maybe its just I remember the old way you had to do it, by going up to a woman in real life and introduce yourself. If it went well,you got a number to set up a date. Now online it seems a different more like shopping than meeting. Is it that I'm bring old thoughts in to a new medium of dating or is it that I'm holding back and should use the scatter shot method(your bound to hit something). In a way I'm trying to figure out if online is the way.

We've had a bunch of couples pair off on here, and some marriages. So, yes, online dating does work.

You sound normal to me! What truly attracts one to another? Cyberspace has only served as another way to meet people. Eventually, if something is to happen, a "real life" meeting must occur! Just be yourself! Good luck in your quest!

I never said it doesn't work in the second paragraph I just wondering if I'm doing online singles thing right. I do the search, read profiles and, if anything stick out that catches my interest I send a introduction. this is where I get stuck, I commit to the conversation until its done. So I really dont go checking other profiles until no response comes back from person, it not going anywhere or their a scam.

There is no "right" or "wrong",.....just put yourself out there as yourself,.....socialize,...make friends,.....but if you do wish to "write" someone,...you are already wise by taking the time to read their profile! The forums are an EXCELLENT place to simply be yourself and let others get to know who you are!

Sometimes people deceive themselves by searching for a pre-conceived "type" that is never going to work in the end. Many, I think, unknowingly select types without realizing they are sub-consciously looking to fail. Or perhaps it is the example they learned from their own parents, which is equally doomed to fail.
It never hurts to "step out of the box" and select for other things - like character, chrisma, humor, stability...DECENCY.
Good luck!

Yeah, the online dating thing is very hard.
Personality probably doesn't translate very well into text when you're going through profiles.
You've probably skipped over a few that might have been some great matchups.

why worry about types?

I don't have a type. In my relationships and marriage they all looked very different and had different personalities and temperaments.

I seriously doubt this. If they have, they must be keeping it to themselves, judging by the lack of email.

Its not types I think but the person myself. I'm of the age that I was there in 1995 watching the internet started to become a public place. People dialing in with AOL, Compuserve, the whatevers. I also grew going camping, watching a punk rock, hang out with friends, heck just trying to find things to do instead of staying home. You had to able to talk to get a person interested and now it seems that social act of talking is going down. Now look at my words to make sure I'm trying to get the right message across and learning to choose a inflection on messages. In a way its like righting a love letter.
Now the profiles they have to say something to me, I cant say how man I might of passed when they start off with "I'm looking for a caring, honest, respectful man.". I'm mean are we not all looking for those qualities in a relationship. I guess what I'm saying is how do you tell if person going respond or just ignore. I just feel sometimes that I'm throwing out handful of BadinPaid(which was a miss spell that I didn't catch. It was suppose to be be BadinPlaid) intro cards. I just loses a little of the social part to me I guess. Well I'm going to say to those the Looked at my profile and say hi.

I'm pretty much the same. I'm puzzled by two things though.
1) How are you single?
2)Do you cut of the heads of your mates and line your garden with the skulls?
In all seriousness. I'm surprised your still here and single. Have you moved to the only part of Canada where there all shy?
It's been some time since I was last here, and most of the faces have changed. I almost feel a newbie on here now!
Please don't tell me you have a fridge full of males heads and an axe in the hallway?

Oh the main thing is your happy! You strike me as the happy type anyway.
Please don't take up chopping off heads though. After all, your not a Mayan, Aztec or Tolek and you've left Mexico, so you can't blame any of them as a cultural reason for taking a blunt axe to the local male population.

i think its the same for most guys, we talk ourselves in to being intimate with someone and find out that its not going to work out. So its back pedaling because you dont want to hurt the one you just got with feelings but you dont wont to be there either. Now its a rock and a hard place.
I do see your point put its nice to meet because then there something in the air, the light, or whatever that makes it something special.
