So I entered about 27 different user names before I found one that wasn't taken, but it included an apostrophe so I guess it really didn't work anyway. However, I persevered and managed to get here! I was shocked at how many different variations of "That user name is already in use" were already taken as user names.
Things I've learned since being here:
-"Looking for a good-hearted man" is the most popular caption. Well, no kidding! That's up there with "Looking for an unassisted breather" or "Looking for a pulse". I mean, who here is actually "looking for a monosyllabic mouth breather" or "slight tendency to drool" or "attempting to get the charges dropped"?
-My new favorites are people who cannot spell their own professions or their home towns correctly. "i liv in Woodale and im a manger of fud. Wud u like frys with dat?"
-I really like the profiles with one picture, but of two or more women, and no caption clarifying who owns the profile! Maybe it's a test! Maybe it's a split personality! Maybe it's Fight Club! (I know - The first rule yada...)
-Some of the criteria for meeting a woman's standards would be hard for guys like Superman, Gandhi, Jesus, and even Ned Flanders to meet! Some of the "Must Not" lists are longer than the current OSHA handbook!
-So I don't get the whole cryptic idea behind not affording potential viewers the knowledge of your location and or current career path, other than "Nuna" or "Somewhere" "Tell ya later" or my personal favorite "up your ass and around the corner" Illinois. I just chalk it up as people having watched one too many episodes of CSI: Miami. Me, after seeing him in "First Blood", I just can't take David Caruso seriously. I was the guy laughing in the movie theater when you went to see "Jade".
-Webster must have altered the definition of the term "athletic" while I was not paying attention. Maybe it's more of a relative term, like "Relative to Stephen Hawking, I'm athletic!"
-Which brings me to the selectively applicable option of "Prefer not to say". I can prefer not to say how much I drink, but I can't prefer not to say how much drug use I engage in. I've also been contacted by a few human beings (for lack of a better description) that "preferred not to say" what their gender is. ??? I like a little mysteriousness, but I need to know who the pitcher is and who the catcher is like, right away; immediately. That would be great, thaa-aanks!

Prefer not to Say? :D

Open doors, pick up tabs, throw coats over puddles, not eat the last piece of popcorn, etc.

Some women have said camping as their first date. Isn't that up there with like, staying at the Bates Motel with Mike Tyson?
