ROFL
The idea of doing that on-line is superficially appealing (shop for the woman of your dreams!!!), but I rather doubt that I personally could make it work -- I need time to become comfortable around a person; the idea of shopping for wives pretty much trashes that.
If you end up getting a girlfriend, sounds like she'd be getting a dog.
However, I sense that this will never be a problem for you, or for her.
You can't kiss a dog LOL
You can't kiss a dog LOL
That is a fair point. The way I look at it is they have to work harder to find a good match because of their skill set, but they have a right to pursue happiness too.
The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
You don't shop for a wife on-line but you connect with them. Some people - for various reasons - find it hard/impossible to meet others of the opposite sex. On line singles places let people communicate about preferences and values first. It's not like bangable.com - which, by the way is hysterical. After you send emails back and forth for a while you learn about the other person first. Just like here on FR, after a while you get to know the personalities of the other freepers. You also get to know the ones you absolutely would never want to meet!
I see your point.
You married him on the spot?
Nah. I don't suspect he was the marrying type ;p
My wife said I could date all I wanted, but she has to approve of the lady first. Like that's ever going to happen...
Oh, and don't marry a psychotic woman, especially if she's a stripper.
Oh, and never marry a woman struggling with demon possession, especially if she's a psychotic stripper.
wait, and never marry a girl in law school, especially if she's a demon possessed stripper with multiple psychosis.
Almost forgot, never marry a girl with a cocaine habbit, especailly if she's a psychotic, demon harboring, law student who's stripping her way through school.
That's pretty much what I learned from my first wife.
Then why did you marry her?!?!
Now that was refreshing. I'm the same way. I'm married and 40, but occasionally I'll hear a Tom Lykis type on the radio, and it just turns my stomach that these guys approaching 50 think they should be dating (using really) 18-25 year olds. I'd tear the first 50 year old guy I found banging my 18 year old daughter a new wind pipe, than I'd.....
Actually, in the year 2000, my wife had a horrible auto accident. Both of her leg bones were thrust through her hips and nobody expected her to ever walk again.
If anything, that made me fall in love with my wife all over again.
For six months, we could not put any weight upon her legs. But as her loving husband, I was able to invent things to let her know that her life was not over.
We purchased a junk wheel chair, and I would wheel her down a boat ramp until she was in water deep enough to float.
Now picture this: A crippled woman taken down a boat ramp in a wheel chair. Is this man trying to drown her?
Once my wife was deep enough to float, she was able to exit the wheel chair. She was then able to put on her SCUBA diving equipment, and we had a wonderful time together.
If you love someone, you will do everything possible to make that person proud of them-self.
Love and marriage is not about you! It is about making the person you love feel good about them-self.
One evening at a bar, I found the perfect woman for me. I honestly hope that someday, you will find that special person, like I did.
Most of the women on there have very unrealistic expectations and/or serious personality defects.
I still reply to some of the ads there, but it's really a half-assed effort on my part.
Well, without a lot of detail, she was extremely beautiful and so talented that it took a team of orthopedic surgeons to dig my tonails out of my shins.
LOL! There are *lots* of gals like I've run across on match.com. I realize there are legitimate reasons for divorce, and oftentimes one person really is at fault much more than the other, but some of the reasons given are really lame.
By the time you are 50 years old, your views become much more adaptive.
Any woman, between the age of 18 and 75, is considered fair game!
Good thing that my 50 year old wife, has absolute control of my life today. GRIN
I think most of the men, and all of the women who turn to the internet for dating, are screwed up individuals. Women more so than men, because some men are just shy. Women can typically go out, and the men will approach them, so I suspect that the women on these sites are more damaged than the men.
Why would any socially healthy person have to meet someone online? I meet plent of women through the course of everyday life, and surely if I were single and looking, 1 or 2 of them would be dating potential. I am naturally suspicious of anyone having trouble finding dates. There must be a reason.
