Okay, this is something I'm seeing often of, and personally wouldn't put in MY profile.

 

Dont' get me wrong, I'm indeed a romantic...however, what happens when you see.

 

"I'm looking for a man that can give me butterflies and the tingling I get when he kisses me!"

 

Sometimes the "romance novel" or short paragraph seems to be overdone.....and I'm wondering is this the kind of woman that's over romanticizing just a little?

 

I am a true romantic myself...but somehow when I see it in a woman's profile, kinda makes me cringe.

 

I could say, in response to her profile, "Perhaps I can be the man that can make you tingle?"

 

As an intro ? LOL...I dunno, I would feel wierd even acknowledging that part of he profile.

 

Anyone?

Maybe it tells me that she's impulsive, but it doesn't really help me work out if I should message her or not so I find it pretty useless. Sometimes attraction is just one of those "I know it when I see it" things that's hard to put in words.

Believe me it's even weirder when a man puts it in but a lot of them do. "I like quiet moonlight walks on the beach. . . " And I live in Missouri.

 

Another one that drives me crazy is when they all mention that they believe in opening doors for their lady and I just shake my head and wonder how long that will last if you start dating them. Yeah I grew up on romantic fantasies of running across the moors crying "Heathcliff" but I don't go for the artificial stuff and have only read one Harlequin romance novel and that was for an essay I was writing.

I don't think there's anything overly romanticized about wanting to feel butterflies when kissed.

Would "I'm thirteen inches of tingling and butterflies for you to kiss" be an appropriate response?

I don't know about you, but butterflies creep me out. I don't want to feel any kind of butterfly while I'm being kissed. :laugh:

I hate when people put this kind of crap in their profile. I always immediately pass them over. It means that they are in love with infatuation and will never be in love with you. Butterflies go away no matter how attracted you are to each other and I don't want them leaving me, too, when that happens.

 

I've read a ton of romance novels in my lifetime and I still would never ever write this.

 

By the way, I am a bisexual woman, but I think I've seen even guys writing crap along these lines. It's so dumb.
