It's a female friend of mine trying to hook a rich guy. Her criteria includes a high salary.

Oh, how kunty of her....

 

[RoseRed]

But in all of those 30 photos, did the dude have his teeth in his mouth, or were they in a jar on his nightstand?

Or were they wooden?

 

[Vince]

No, you spelled Bonjour wrong.

No I didn't. I was trying to make it sound like the guy on the commercial. I failed.

I've seen commercials for a site called sugardaddy.com.

Faux snob. How can she like someone if he only makes $250K and up?

 

[Bann]

Yeah, but if he is good with kids there is a side of him that carries over into the boyfriend/girlfriend side. Probably a whole lot less likely to do stupid things to piss you off, not as self-centered as a single guy.

Foxhound is a single guy without children and he is farrr from self centered.

In fact, one thing about him that was very hard for me to get used to is "it's all about me". Not him. Not my kids. Moi.

Diamonds and a maid help.

I can't believe people actually put their salaries on there. The only thing more obnoxious than asking what someone makes is telling them what you make.

I have seen one person with 30. Narcissist.

I knew what you meant!

How much do you make, Baja?

[mv_princess]

He told me he made

 

[Baja28]

But you told me

I knew you weren't material and would like me anyway...

How much do you make, Baja?

Brazillians

 

[Hank]

He makes bitches wet!

He makes bitches wet!

Damn right

Yeah, but Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dalmer found their victims without the use of the internet so I don't think that theory holds much water...:shrug:

I see dating sites as simply another tool for becoming aware of other available people in your area. I believe have a much better chance finding someone with your same interests by browsing online dating pools than you do stumbling upon someone on a bar stool, church pew or pushing a grocery cart...:shrug:

To expound upon that; you can use the dating site to communicate meeting in a public place; not 'your place or mine.' By meeting in public, you either get stood up, or, if things go well, there is less worry; usually for the ladies; of being abducted etc..

 

[Chasey_Lane]

He makes bitches wet!

Duh. He has a boat and he pushes them overboard.

 

[jazz lady]

Duh. He has a boat and he pushes them overboard.

Oh I completely agree - truth in advertising. BUT! Those sites are open to the masses and anyone in the world could be looking at your profile. I may be jaded and cynical because I've been doing this forum thing for so long, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to post pics of your cutie pie pre-teen daughter on your online dating profile.

Kids are a turnoff for *me*, but it also shows poor judgment. They can say they have kids at home and leave it at that.

Nope, it's not poor judgement. If the kids mean enough to him to put them as a major part of his profile, then he's not the right guy for you. Better to pass the guy up when you're at the looking at the pictures stage than find you've wasted effort on a guy who puts his kiddos above all else. Or that he's wasted time on someone who's not going to be interested in spending time with him and his kids.

And on another note. Guys: You don't look sexy in that ballcap. Seriously. Don't wear one in your picture.
