It's a Freudian slip ... well traveled implies 'high mileage' which usually means clapped out !!!

Relation of life has various type, then if wonder of that questions then..
WHY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK?
Your life experience will tell you that answers are true or false, isn't it?

One2note: They are well travelled, as though that makes them more interesting?
So you've travelled to many countries !
So what , you swam with dolphins , or you've ridden an elephant in Africa , or you conquered Mount Everest !
How does that relate to being an ideal partner?
Many people just love to talk talk talk talk talk about themselves. Travel adds another dimension to one's life, and sort of (in my humble opinion) gives the person a feeling of authority over the other person they're yakking to--passive-aggressive and condescending. JMO

That's only true if they start a blog and post pictures of their travels. Like they do on Facebook.

It makes for interesting conversations on dates.

Like how on your next date you can regale her with tales of how you tried to fool an online forum site that you went to Latvia to meet a woman to date...when you most likely went to Blackpool alone eating chips by the beach.

That's remarkably similar to something I was saying to someone last night, except I was thinking of Mablethorpe. uh oh

Well... whom about are people supposed to talk in their profiles? You? They don't know you, so it'd be gossip as best.


Whatever people talk about, they talk about themselves. If it's not some information about their life, then it's their reaction to stimuli or their view on a given subject.

You as well talk about yourself only :)

I think it's their way of saying how sophisticated they are...

A lot of people nowadays forget that travelling is not a necessity but luxury and it doesn't necessarily widen your horizons or make you more sophisticated or a better person. Those who can afford it usually never think of many more of those who cannot afford it. To expect that people would give up travelling because of this or because they are aware of ecological influences of transport and tourism on the environment is obviously too much to expect.... from selfish people.....
I don't travel a lot because I'm aware of all that and because I also believe that if one has travelled all around the world but hasn't travelled into the depths of his own heart and soul he hasn't been anywhere and hasn't seen anything.....wine

I've travelled a bit myself & I have to admit , it's broadened my horizon, in as much as seeing & experiencing other cultures .
However , I don't believe I'm a better person for it , other than it being a great conversation starter.
