A 1" x 1-1/2" pic is sometimes misleading...and does not indicate Other pertinent info about the member that IS contained in the Profile... Age Location Height Ethnicity ...and others... Not to mention their 'Writing Style'... Someone may have a Terrific photo posted, but if their profile is poorly written, or minimally written... especially if using Text-ese, lack of punctuation and grammar, etc... ..I'm going to pass right over it..!!
Sorry . . . Part of MY qualifications is Intelligence.
Although I believe LDR can work there are a lot of factors people dont think about...
If its 2 people from the same country its not so hard...
The same _Country_..?? I'm having trouble within My Own State!! That's why I've expanded my searches to the entire continental U.S. ...!! My biggest fear, lately... is finding Work in a new community..!! That's why I'm paying more attention, now... to what interesting women do for a living : Business Owner , Manager , etc...
Eradicate Profiteering...!! Ask a Fair price for a Quality product..!!
This starts at the supermarket...where a _single_ Green Pepper now costs anywhere between $.79 and $1.49 A Generic loaf of bread is a Dollar....where it used to be FOUR-for-a-dollar! Coffee has gone Sky-high, too... It used to be ...you could buy an actual Pound of coffee...till the prices went nuclear... Then, they lowered the price by 10%...but made _The Container_ 20% Smaller..!! And Cars..?? It's the Unions that have escalated their prices! How can it be justified to pay a person anywhere between $25 and $40 an hour... to push 4 bottons...400 times a day..?? Lastly . . . Car Insurance... How many of us have been forced to buy a new T V set... because we've thrown a shoe, beer, potted plant or cat at the old one and shattered it... Because your premium payments are just giving them more money to ADVERTISE with...!!..??
If you haven't filed a claim in two years.... _Demand_ a 1-year-worth REBATE..!!
I just noticed that her profile is no longer available.... _Hopefully_ She hid it, Herself...temporarily...
I'd hate to find that some self-righteous, egotistical, vindictive, opinionated, four-eyed ~S.I.A.D.~ actually filed a Complaint with the management and got her Banned..!!
I like all of 'trish...'s polls... They're thought-provoking, intelligent, informative, arousing and maturely presented. (Unlike some pre-pubescent Replies I've read....)
I do have 2 points to ponder, though... 1.) If you're going to post something Publicly... Make it be _About The Topic At Hand_... Not your opinions about the originator! ...Because we all know... ~ Opinions Vary! ~ 2.) It's better to say nothing, and be thought of as a Fool... than to open your mouth ... ... and P R O V E It..!!
I like independent women... They have a lot of common sense and mechanical aptitude... They can deal with any minor difficulty in everyday life, and don't need help opening a can of corn or mowing the grass...when needed. But... Not to the point where she's 'Independant' to the point of expecting to 'Date-Around' while in a committed relationship.
I don't know if it will be "..the Most..." satisfying... I just want it to be '_Very_Mutually_Satisfying_'..!! Trying to 'Knock each other out...with Pleasure!!'
After over 2 years of greiving...I adopted a new attitude... Fulfill the promise I made to her, and find someone that I could love as much and as well as I loved Her...and... Don't make her loss ~Baggage~ . .
Chit was just over 3 years old... His father is confused and sad, too... I now have a pic as my desktop background of chit on his favorite perch... Sound Asleep . . Thanx for your support!!
Dear Dad, You raised me from birth...with my black Bombay mom and 4 siblings... I helped you through sad times and happy...troubles and triumphs... I even helped you test all 90 feet of the Cat-walk that now adornes the house... We all loved it, and thank you for your efforts... even if it was just to save the furniture from being shredded!! You fed us and brushed us and let us in from the rainstorms...eventhough we Knew we weren't supposed to go outside and risk cars and dogs and those nasty ticks!! You didn't even get angry when I knocked-up that new kitten while I was waiting for my neutering surgery! Thanks for letting me know what it's like to be a Dad!! You found me in the basement, today...where I felt my life-force ebb away...not wanting to cause you any heartache, I found a nice, dark corner and went to sleep. I hope that the vet can determine just what the cause was...and that it was something simple and non contagious, like a spider-bite...and that it doesn't affect any other member of the family... If we can share one last thought, together, let it be that we will _Always_ be in each others hearts...!!
.....To supplement my Profile... (There's just So Much you can put in a Profile....before it gets long, tedious and Dull!!)
Being serious about finding a Special Lady , ~Hopefully~, someone will be more lkely to answer one of my letters of admiration...if... my forum posts show that I have the humor, intelligence and sincerity that they're looking for!!
If he writes a decent Profile... With good grammar, punctuation and spelling... Has common ~Likes / Dislikes~... Is open and honest... Is romantic... Is ~Reasonably~ attractive... Has a good sense of humor... Respects children, animals and the elderly... ...and... Is Willing to DO the relocating.....
RE: Why does one stop to view a profile but wont vote on it?
