Try reversing your profile, put your dislikes first. Define some of the things like "a**hole" for a potential person to read. Try that, it'l definately weed out more undesireables.
Yup, I run into a lot of this as well, especially in the "friends hangout" type threads. Personally, I think they should use a IM that supports a group conferance/chat type thing.
Nothing sucks worse then running into clickish type people. But hey, maybe they just haven't moved beyond high school.
oops sorry, you seem like a good guy blueyedtiger. good luck on your search here. I truely apologize i thought this was one of those "put yourself out there and have different people give you feedback type deals" my bad.
4/ their voting record on issues relating directly to the topic, and any records of debates or discussions that could clarify their true position on issue. Including why they chose to support certain bills or reject them.
Once I'm comitted to it I'm committed to it, but it doesn't mean i'll stay in it with blinders on. So its both at the same time, at least for me. Look around at the relationships you see everyday, there is wisdom in both parts of the question and sucess or failure does come from both approaches.
hey, I'm hearing you there but all threads have their place even the "slacker" threads. Surf the forums for what you like or take a chance like you did nfowler and start one.
and then again you might also get a conjugal visit to the morge as well, but on the bright side at least she won't get half when the divorce goes through! lol
And to answer the question here are my reasons why.
A: no, but i prefer not to have one posted because I'm not interested in overly shallow people. Granted looks are important, but a pretty face has more often then not, compensated for a shallow heart. You can tell when a person is trading on their attractiveness because there is nothing more too them and that becomes all to apparent, when their conversations have no substance what so ever.
B: after seeing images of how a person really looks as opposed to their glamshot type image, it kinda builds a case for false advertising.
C: yup I definately think thats a definate reality on an internet dating site and hence, no picture and the curious blanks, either on the profile or in conversations.
D&E: It to easy to get a webcam take a snapshot then post it. There are help files to be found on most if not all sites.
RE: What's Your Rank???
Youngest of two brothers. And as for my Rank, definately the lesser of two evils LOL!
