Reminds me of a great line in a movie I've seen over and over, Jean Claude Van Damme's "Hard Target:" (and yes, to remind you, I am the female half writing)

"Pic, you're not angry with me, are you?"

"I don't get angry. I am a professional."

Good posts. I, for once, have nothing to add because you've all said it so well.

I am confused by what some people include in their profiles. Why do some couples say they are a "professional couple"? Does that mean we are amatures? I really dont understand why you being a professional makes you better in bed. "

If amateurs look like you and your wife I'm totally not going pro.

couple you said what i wanted to say but could not for the life of me put it into words without sounding like a fool.

i myself have a tough time with conversation but my wife can talk for hours on end about the silliest things.

professional ? NAH i am just a crazy trucker = wheel jockey LOL

i recently seen a profile where the couple talked about camping being an extremely disgusting thing to do because there is NO electric, running water or showers plus they mentioned how insects are disgusting and dirt on your hands is barbaric.

i guess they have never ventured outside their bubble in that trillion dollar dream world they live in.

i believe there was a thread on this particular subject. in general that means people are just looking to spend time with others of similar economic/career status..

"I mean first impressions ARE important. I worked for a doctor and if there were ANY mis-spellings on a resume it went into the trash can. This is of course not as important as a resume but in a way it IS like a resume...it is the first thing I see about a potential single/couple. Since intelligence is such a turn on for me personally that is very important. "

Oh yes intelligence is a big thing for me, nothing like a man with 2 good heads to turn me on.

why do so many profiles have such poor spelling and grammar.... to me that is such a turnoff...... "

Thank you! LOL I hate to be the grammar queen (wait, I think thats Gina...JK!) but snap. I mean first impressions ARE important. I worked for a doctor and if there were ANY mis-spellings on a resume it went into the trash can. This is of course not as important as a resume but in a way it IS like a resume...it is the first thing I see about a potential single/couple. Since intelligence is such a turn on for me personally that is very important.

Also, too much use of text-speak. Really, it isn't that hard to spell out the word "you" instead of using "u" or "to" instead of "2."

Too much of that, and we tend to just bypass them as people who don't want to take their time in expressing themselves well.

why do so many profiles have such poor spelling and grammar.... to me that is such a turnoff...... at least try to write in full sentences...... even if it is like this so that you are putting out full thoughts rather than the ramblings that we see in some of these profiles
