Well I definitely don't want a man like you with such a negative image of women!
I don't aim to date a man who is rich, so I can use his money to buy myself frivolous things. But I want a man who works hard and makes at least as much money as I do. I want to have kids and a house someday, and it takes a certain level of income to pull this off. I plan to contribute half the income, I just want a guy who can pull his own weight.
Besides that, I want a kind, honest and FAITHFUL man who I can enjoy spending time with. It really shouldn't be so hard to find this kind of person, right?
I think humans are essentially the same no matter the culture. Think about this, if the girl has a boyfriend at home and she is willing to cheat on or leave him to be with you, what makes you think she'll be faithful to you once she's your girlfriend? In all cultures, I think that's not acceptable. Cheating, particularly for women, seems to be more common in America, in my opinion. Perhaps it's just that it's less clandestine (secret, hidden- can't find a good word...)
I also enjoying by hand, pencil and paper. I'm good at drawing cartoon people ('anime' style like you) but I'm quite poor at drawing almost anything else! I especially like to draw couples, because I find it much more challenging to get the anatomy correct when you are drawing people overlapping.
You should post some of your drawings!
I'll post one of mine... But please be gentle with the criticism, I know it's pretty lame. WARNING Semi-NSFW:
I'd have a bit more respect for the guy if he at least tried to pay. But I certainly wouldn't expect him to! And unless it would truly offend him, I would not let him pay for me on the first date.
Again, it depends what it is. If the date is, for example, meeting up at a cafe, I'd be more likely to let him pay for my cup of coffee. But if it's something like a fancy restaurant, no way am I going to hold a man I'm meeting the first time, who may or may not even like me, to purchasing my 60$ 3-course meal!
Plus, there are some men who seem to believe that if they pay for dinner, the woman is obligated to go home with them at the end of the date, and that is certainly not happening
That does make sense... When I text, even to my close friends, I always type out all the words. I feel that I'm disrespecting people if I don't bother to speak properly to them. Maybe it's just a girl thing, because my brother uses abbreviations any chance he gets.
Maybe it's the reason I have to result to online dating, but I don't wear miniskirts. I want to attract a man who doesn't want the entire world to see his woman half naked.
What I don't understand is, why aren't you driving out to meet him? If the problem with him not being good enough for you is that he doesn't have a car, that logic should mean that you do have one, right? Or at least drive up and meet him half way. I don't know where in MA he lives, but it really can't be that far. I live in MA and worked in Providence (RI) for years.
I wonder if any others who have tried online dating before have any 'warning signs' that immediately let you know that someone is probably not 'the one'?
For me it's using 'u' instead of 'you', '4' instead of 'for' and other chat-speak. I have the idea that someone who won't put in the time to properly type out their message when they are seeking their partner, they might not put as much effort as I'd like into the relationship itself, either.
Any others? Specific phrases people repeat in their profiles that send up red flags?
In theory (meaning, hypothetically yes, but realistically no way!), I could possibly marry a man with other wives... I wouldn't want to be the first, though, because then I'd feel like he only became a polygamist as an excuse for being sick of me.
I could never marry more than one man. Not for moral reasons, but just because in a relationship I give all of myself to the other person. I can't give all of myself to two people, because there's only one of me!

Not sure about men in general, but my dad and brother are men and they are extremely important to me
