I know that when meeting people online the need to be careful and "weed" out the weirdo's is a necessity...so what question (s) do you think are the most important to be asking when trying to decide if this person is compatible?

Nothing inparticular. BUT I will ask the same questions several times a couple days apart.

So be it if they think I'm brain damaged. But most of the wackos won't catch it and give you different answers each time.

Man between the two of you two beauties, I don't know if I could keep my answers straight, even if I was being honest.
The whole EGO thing would kick into high gear. The need to make the answer seem more and more interesting for
you, would take over.
But then your right, there are alot of freaks out here
too.. lol

I have been contacted by a lot of scammers from other sites and learned how to spot them. If they are too good to be real then the red flags pop up. This usually happens with the ones in their 20's from another country.
Usually I mention I can't have anymore children and ask wouldn't they be happy finding someone who would want them also. If they say it doesn't matter but would be happy with the ones I have, then a red flag pops up.
There are all kinds of indicators that would come close to filling a notepad

I don't figure on getting much just chatting. I look for those answers on the phone.
The way they answer a question. Do they have to think
of the answer. " lieing". If they have kids, do they yell at them or talk to them. Can they have a conversation with
out talking about there ex's.
I was talking to one girl and her kids set something on fire. She never put the phone down, yelling and screaming the whole time. And the way she talked to them, was sickining...

I use Jonathan's criteria, the phone is a great tool. The sound of her voice and how she can communicate, 2 double negatives in a row and I'm gone. A derrogatory word about another race, check please. Is she doesen't understand the humour in the Simpsons or Seinfeld, well.... LJ

I agree with John.. hesitation when answer a question is definitely a "Tell". Here in this format, we have no way of telling if this person or statment is spontaneous or not.

I agree that there are no specific questions, I just ask about life and things I want to know. View everything with a critical eye. If things seem too good to be true they normally are, be aware. I think women have more of a problem with this than men, but we have our share of problems too. Nary a week goes by that I don't get solicitations from foreign woman promising love and children in exchange for citizenship. Not put into such blunt words but that's what they want. They want the easy life we have here in the US. Soon it looks like the easy life is going to be in South East Asia, that's soon becoming the land of plenty. We are regulating ourselves into oblivion here in the states, everything is being farmed out and produced over seas, we can't survive only producing technology, we have to produce hard goods too. That's what really fuels the economy. Soon the average American won't have the knowledge to actually build anything, most people think work is typing on a keyboard, That produces nothing but maybe more red tape. ( I think I got a little off topic here, sorry)

If I could find the right type and an honest one from overseas it's not a bad offer, but I would imagine that at least 20% are actually men hoping to get my travel to the US money sent to them. I'm trying to figure out how to tell the right ones from the impostors, men and gold digging women. I've decided that meeting is the only way, but I'm not going to take the risk to bring them here, I need to go there, I might as well get at least a vacation out of my money. That's part of the reason for the round the world cruise idea. Promise them a life on a sailboat, don't promise the USA, if they will go for that then I think they want me more than the USA.

I appreciate all of the advice from everyone....

Truth be known - I had a really nasty stalker for a long time on another site. It was not a nice experience.

One girl friend dated a guy for a couple months, before she found out he was married. ( still living with wife and kids )

I think people just sense if they can trust another or not. It does take getting burned a few times to get wiser usually.

You don't necessarily have to be asking questions to know if someone is compatible. Just listening to what they say during any old conversation can tell you alot. Their values and principles will show through with their true natures after enough communication. Then you can begin to see how you compliment each other or not. You also need to talk about yourself some too and you may get an answer without even asking.

I think if you are going to ask a question though you should of already asked yourself the question first and be prepared to give them an answer also.

The biggest thing with me is if he doesn't stick to his word and do what he says he will do which to me is that he is either lying or being honest. To me, with that, there is only black and white, no grey area, really. If he is a man of his word, then there ain't no problem, he'll do what he says he will do. If he ain't a man of his word, then he will not do what he says he will do and that is a deal breaker for me.

There isn't one inparticular thing you can ask or say to someone to learn how they are. You just have to give it time and just see how they act and just have regular conversations with them. It takes time to get to know someone. There are a few things that are black and white for me, but there are things that I see grey shades in. There are times when someone is haveing a bad day, or an off day, something has happened to make them to make them feel happy, sad, excited, or whatever. Not everybody is the same literally all the time.
