I can't be with an un-Believer, there would just be so many problems down the road. # 2 is another thing very important to me - you know how crazy I am, I couldn't deal with a stick-in-the-mud! Now that you mention it, most of the qualities I want are in my father also... posted by: Ladyblog (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (12:33 pm) Thats a great list! TTFN posted by: makncheez (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (12:37 pm) I used to love making those lists. I also love reading them! Good lisdt though. Those are good qualities!:D posted by: Supertoy (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (12:49 pm) I have two comments: 1.) ALL dating services can and will ruin your life!.CAUTION!. how do i know this?..as a guy who used it several years ago, i met(what i thought) a great person, instead we married,had a kid,going to court,going to court some more,getting court threats,etc..you get the picture..if you think youn can do better be my guest.. 2.) applying what appears to be a "portfolio" of attribute of your perfect guy will only limit the real bounds of true love. Maybe you might get it on with an ugly account!..and be happy!!..who knows. peace xavier posted by: mblog (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (12:57 pm) You've ruled me out already. Had single been a criterion, that would have ruled me out too, but I don't feel too bad. As adorable as you are, I'm taken. Not that you'd want me. Being equally yoked is a tender balancing act. I have no problem with your religious beliefs, and I think you are well yoked, even if I'm not. As for a sense of humor, there isn't a person I've ever met who will admit to not having a sense of humor. With some people you can tell them that they are fat or ugly or stupid, and they'll take it. But you can take the biggest stick-in-the-mud and tell him he has no sense of humor and you will always get the same response. "What do you mean I have no sense of humor? I have a great sense of humor!" It would be a lot easier telling him that his penis is too small or he has dandruff or his breath stinks. For item three, I'd love to tease you playfully in ways that I could never admit. Four is like two. Few people admit to crossing a line here. It's easier to find somebody who will admit to being a cheapskate than who will admit to not having a sense of humor, but many cheap people will not admit it. It bothers me to spend more on something than I have to, especially when I can get the same thing for less somewhere else. But it bugs the hell out of me when somebody orders a pizza, makes somebody drive across town to deliver it, and decides that a $1 tip (or less) is enough since the person is already getting paid and the pizza is already too expensive. If I'm willing to pay a waitress 20% for taking a tray from the kitchen (yes, I know there's more to it than that) then I should do at least that much when somebody brings me a pizza. Not that I'm allowed to eat pizza these days. Calm? Are you crazy? If you take my new car out for a ride and smash the bumper in an accident, I'll probably be calm. I know accidents happen. If you forget to pick up my shirts at the dry cleaners, I probably should have done it myself anyway. But if you do things that bug me after we went over it, I can't handle it. That's just the way I am. Maybe I should be medicated. Ambitious. I worked my way up from nothing to a respected managing scientist making a comfortable six digit salary. I was working too hard, and I still have something left to show for it. But when the economy tanked and my job went away, I decided to sit here wasting my time on blogs instead. So I could be ambitious or even a workaholic or I could be a lazy bum who can afford to stay home. It's the middle ground I'm having trouble with. Maybe I should get a job delivering pizza, but people don't tip very well around here. I do like travel. It's just a bit tough with three kids and their school schedule and everything else. I'm pretty open minded. I like to hear other people's opinions before I decide that they are wrong. I never understood racism or bigotry. It was not a part of my life growing up. I grew up in Brooklyn. Things were pretty integrated in one sense but segregated in another. I know some people who were racist, but my mom always told me that they were stupid. I was shocked when I went off to college and some of them were still around. Even though I had had many friends of other races all my life, it wasn't the same as living in their community or knowing what they went through. It was an eye opener to find out just how much I didn't know. Now I live in a community with no majority at all. There are lots of minorities and the demographics are like a pie with many slices. My family is multi racial and nobody in my community cares. It's a lot different from when my mom's friend Gloria married a negro back in the 1960's and I didn't have a clue what they went through. Maybe I'm a bit on the anti-social side, but I get along well with people. I've never been one to go out and make a lot of friends, and I'm not the guy at the party who sticks his hand out and tries to sell you insurance. But if somebody has something to talk about, I have more than enough to say. I almost forgot to add that I am a know it all. But I can't help it if I know everything. It just worked out that way. (I don't really know everything, and the only folks who insist on telling me I do are usually the stupid people my mom told me about.) So do you think a dating service would have worked for me? posted by: dangerkitty (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (12:59 pm) Reply to: Supertoy Thanks for the advice. I don't use online dating services anymore. They always sent me random matches without much thought. Sorry about your court problems. Hope everything works out for you and your kid in the end. posted by: dangerkitty (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (12:59 pm) Reply to: makncheez Thanks. :-D posted by: dangerkitty (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (1:05 pm) Reply to: mblog Wow. Well, I too am happy you are spoken for. I require patients and sometimes have to be told to do something twice. I think that I would drive you up a wall. posted by: dangerkitty (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (1:06 pm) Reply to: mblog patience, not patients. :-D posted by: mblog (reply) post date: 08.18.04 (1:32 pm) Reply to: dangerkitty I thought we would have played doctor or something. That would have been fun. posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 08.19.04 (9:59 am) You know hon, don't look and they will find you - thats what happened to me, and even though hes not ginger I wouldn't swap him, well I would for Damian Lewis but you get my drift....Joolie xxx |

We've all done it. Well, some of us anyway. Well, ok, just desperate saps like me. We've signed up for these internet dating services and found ourselves ranking the qualities we find most important in a mate (or soulmate if you believe in that concept). It's not easy to come up with the list but when you finally have a clear idea what you want it's makes it easier to distinguish the contenders from the pretenders. After writing things down I realized in a Freudian twist I was describing my Dad.
