Guys are funny. I don't care that you shot a bear or caught a fish.

I don't care if you like to watch a movie and then have sex afterwards

And I especially don't like it when you say that the fact that you are a republican doesn't matter.

What I do like is nice, honest and kind with a nice smile.

Is that too much to ask?

It's a give and take.
The hot head that shot the bear, isn't afraid of commitment.
The guy that writes on his profile he wants to have sex, at least wants to have sex.
And the republican has a job.
You can't have it all...

Haha tisha it's too hilarious. You have great sense of humor.
These are just profiles and people never know what to write.

I went on a lot of dates and had many boyfriends. I don't think I turned down any guy who asked me out while I was not in a relationship. As we'd get to know each other all the things came out that teach you what a person is all about. I accepted most everything. Some guys were really on the edge. I accepted that as the norm because where I lived, that was so common.

I dated before internet dating, although we did have personal ads in the paper.

All I can say is I rarely sat home on a Saturday night. I was out of the house doing stuff; dining, dancing, shows, parties...

I'm glad I got out so much. It was after I got married and had kids that we sat home doing nothing and being horribly bored.

I think I found the problem.
Dating profiles, job interviews, small talk at gatherings: "Tell me about yourself."
Typical inner response: "Oh s***... uhhhhmm... I shot a fish and caught a bear? Wait, no..."

Dating has its benefits but I prefer staying home and don't find being with my partner boring.

I think you will find that most dating profiles are like job resumes and truthful but inflated. At least a man who can fish and hunt could feed you in an apocalypse. Skills are skills and as long as he's got some it's something.

I hate dating. I did a lot on and off between my two husbands. I had no trouble finding a date but I didn't find it to be exciting. I preferred either hang out with my girlfriends or my daughter or my family or pursue my hobbies or I wished to have "the right one". Dating as an activity was my least favorite thing ever. Dating only made sense to me as means to meet the right person. I don't know anyone who actually likes "dating" as process.

I guess my point being, I am a liberal vegetarian and say so quite vocally. LOL I live in a state where many men pose with the bear they killed. And no. I will not go on a date with them.

Blue woman in a red state.

You do have my sympathies. (((Hugs)))

I dont date too often.

Lyrics automatically stacking up in my head:

Blue woman in a red state
Too much, too little, too late
A liberal vegetarian, out here they're pretty rare
You blew your chance to date her when you shot that bear

I always enjoy reading your replies Lefty haha

[~Christina]

I hear you. Hunters aren't my type of men either. I hope you'll find a good match. There is someone out there for you.

[divine1966]

Lefty omg you never fail to make me laugh

And It is Lefty for a win!

Liberal women from a red state. She loves social justice and hates steak. A date with her will cost a fair share, for starters you cannot shoot a bear. Voting for Trump will get you canned, but a vote for a liberal and you can be her man. She sees you when your sleeping, she knows when you're awake, so don't be a misogynistic hateful flake. Amen and pass the potatoes.

Did I mention I am atheist? lol

Oh yeah, And I have several incurable diseases. lol

[divine1966]

Atheist isn't that unusual (observation from my dating years). I've met ton on dating sites and we are hunting state big time although I do live in a cosmopolitan metro area. Do you live in a small town?

No a city

Why do I love it? Is it the game playing? The getting to know a new person? The conquest? The excitement? I had so much fun with it. Maybe I missed my calling as a dating coach.

Nope.

It is pointless though. I don't know why I bother. I think the single life is for me.

[TishaBuv]

Have you always been single? Do you really want to be single? Do you enjoy being single?

Maybe because you dated while young and you probably were not very busy. I dated while having a child and working demanding job and often two jobs and going to grad school in the evenings and having extensive hobbies that required time etc Going on dates was in the expense of something else, usually more valuable than meeting random people. I first went on dating site in my mid 30s and received over a 100 messages in the first week etc etc just to sort through them was a chore. Then feeling bad when i declined second date etc

Dating very time consuming in my experience and it's only worth it as means to an end: to never have to date again lol It might be fun when one is not looking for s partner or is young and not too busy
