Conditionally Looking for Love

"I can't love a man without a BMW"

.......[c]2005 by Richard L Zorek......12.09.05..... Since I became aware of the lawsuit against a couple major online personal/dating sites, I have been doing some digging around in various online dating sites. Some of the profiles are amusing, but I am easily amused sometimes. Here's a few of the common comments on profiles: (italics comments mine).

1. "Those who want to play games need not apply." However, if one is going to play games, they are not going to admit they are, are they?

2. "I am looking for love and romance." However, you need to be making enough money. Love doesn't grow on trees you know. Please send credit references.

3. "If you don't have a picture posted I will not respond." I am not shallow, just can't be seen communicating with someone that doesn't appeal to me or the world. There isn't any reason why you can't post a picture on the world wide web for the whole world to see.

4. "I am so busy I have no time to find someone." However, I can spend a lot of time on computer emailing and chatting.

5. "No drug users or abusers please." I can tell by the way you email whether you do or don't.........don't slur your "send" button...

6. Some have a pictures on profile. Please notice I have only used my best pictures. I failed to put up the ones that show me just waking up or before I had coffee. But glamor shots I used are the way I look all the time. Perky, perky, perky!. Some of them puts pics of them standing next to fancy cars or motorcycles. I may not have personality, but look at my BMW..now what do you think?

7. They list where they are from usually. Sorry, but Johnson County, particularly around Overland Park, seems to be loaded with quite a few "snobs." I live in a well-to-do neighborhood and don't have time for people outside my social class. I make a lot of money and anyone who makes less then me just can't be "in." So don't bother me with your ice-breakers if you are not part of the "in" group.

8. Then they put a long list of things they are looking for in a mate. Surely, by listing a big list of requirements for the "other" that I am looking for will make that "other" find me easier.

9. I am just a wonderful and beautiful person. (No kidding, some go out and say that.) That's why I am here. Because I am so wonderful that the people in my day to day life seem to be just missing it.But I wrote it here and now you know it's true
.
10. I like intimacy. Usually means, I like sex, but I will go through dating ritual until I get it, then decide whether to drop you after that Women will fare better as far as contacts, because there are more men out there playing games and looking to get some of this "intimacy."

I will end this "look" at these sights shortly and publish my findings. I got removed from one because I told them they were not being honest about what a person is paying for. They did refund me though after I reminded them about the issues going on in the lawsuits. Sometimes knowing something helps.
