But there are good guys out there. I've been with one of them for nearly two years now. :-)<BR/><BR/>Best of luck, and oh, stop thinking about the ex, that just leads nowhere but trouble.Lisa @ The Plain-Spoken Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589278128659676715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-73467719620999292072007-07-09T12:46:00.000-04:002007-07-09T12:46:00.000-04:00I have a theory that the majority of guys don't ac...I have a theory that the majority of guys don't actually read the profile and only look at the picture. I also put that I was looking for someone who graduated from college, and the majority of responses I got did not. I also got an obscene number of responses from the religious right, when everything that I wrote made it clear that we would have nothing in common. Strangely, many of those who seem to have the least in common would e-mail me and say "it looks like we have a lot in common." Apparently, being a carbon-based life form counted... I put the best picture of me I had on line, and I think that was a big mistake. I quit doing the match.com. I may try again at some point (with the ugliest picture of me this time-- that way I will be a pleasent surprise when we meet).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-68958796310345018552007-07-09T12:25:00.000-04:002007-07-09T12:25:00.000-04:00So you're looking for Westley and getting nothing ...So you're looking for <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000144/" REL="nofollow">Westley</A> and getting nothing but <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001728/" REL="nofollow">Vizzini</A>'s? In real life <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000705/" REL="nofollow">Buttercup</A> actual ends up with <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000576/" REL="nofollow">Spicoli</A>. You're a logical person right? You have to be. Why does a prince need the Internet when the world is in front of him? Unless it's a fractured fairytale and when you kiss the prince he turns into a frog.<BR/><BR/>I love technology, but cringe at this online dating thing (though I do like reading about other's experiences with it). You deny yourself so much that I'm sure you can remember if you think about your last longer relationship. There is an excitement about the initial face-to-face contact that cannot be replaced. Even when it doesn't work out, those encounters will always be in your memory. That's the kind of thing that makes your drummer intriguing. I guess some people just luck out with the online or put-an-ad-in-the-paper thing. Or maybe that suits their personality type better. And maybe they don't really have the experience of those odd liaisons after midnight so they don't actually know what they are missing. I really can't say. When I think about Buttercup years from now thinking back to the time she first met Westley, I think about her looking into his eyes and seeing something nobody else sees. A smiley face or whatever is winking at you from a computer screen, not so much.<BR/><BR/>Complete sentences? Overrated. Fragments. Pure beauty. Invokes, conjures, commands. Pulls imagination out from under the mundane.<BR/><BR/>Send a note back to your doctor and ask him what is the best cure for crabs.No Replyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897528591850712444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-63009234181257899682007-07-09T11:09:00.000-04:002007-07-09T11:09:00.000-04:00Ignore the phone sex dude.since I dont know what y...Ignore the phone sex dude.<BR/><BR/>since I dont know what you look like, or how tall etc, I would say just be careful with your 6 foot rule. I am 5'10, so I breathe at 6 feet, but I listed 5'10 because i know I aint 6 feet. Now 5'7 is lying.<BR/><BR/>But, look at it this way, Mrs Duck, either fibbed or put in the wrong info at her profile and said she was 4'10 when she is more like 4'7. if I did not have a slight wiggle range below 5 feet, we would have never met.Sparky Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599649584020982942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-83541852772055296142007-07-09T10:26:00.000-04:002007-07-09T10:26:00.000-04:00From what I understand, you have to wade through a...From what I understand, you have to wade through a lot of frogs to find a prince online. It is possible, though. <BR/><BR/>And I understand your requirements. PDA is a must for me -- I'm affectionate! But college educated, surprisingly, is not. I have a graduate degree but Lancelot has only an AOS in culinary arts. He's still one of the smartest most interesting men I know.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14327359141716141220noreply@blogger.com
