I have to say, I've come across this one profile recently, I have to say it was quite the novel.

 

Did a word count on it, and it must've been 5 or 6 page equivalent. SHe even admitted that

she wouldn't fault a guy for not reading all of it, but she emphasized the fact that pretty

much ANY question that she would be asked either through email or even in person would probably be

covered in her little autobiography online.

 

She's mentioned that she gets tons of emails daily and when she took a leave of absence, she had

some catching up to do.

 

I usually would've ignored it and moved on, but I did scan and read certain chunks of her profile. I keep

an eye out for certain things or buzzwords/phrases like her belief system, level of Christian faith (she's more of a former Catholic like I am, but avid Christian), a geek girl who hand crafted her own Slave Leia outfit. lol She had me right there. She has no kids and emphasizes wanting to date men whe do not have kids of their own. That's rare to find in our age bracket.

 

She KIND of contradicts herself, she said "There's more to me than just my looks, I do have a personality as well".

 

She later she talks about how she loves a guy with hair and how she just loves the feel of running her hands

through his hair, even though it's spiked. Then says, "Honestly, I'm not drawn to bald men....sorry guys"

 

And says, "Oh, and I love goatees!"

 

Problem is, I get 3/4 of the way down her long profile and I see this? LOL (I'm bald, sorry, it's a genetic thing)...but I found it odd how deep she is about herself and what she's looking for in a guy and her belief system only to find out baldness is a deal breaker?

 

That being said, there is something to be said about "too much, too soon" i na dating profile. lol

Your not going to get the cream of the crop. It's online dating. Be happy if she even responds to you.

I think writing a novel for your OLD profile would be detrimental your success rate. Unless the chick is good looking then all bets are off.

 

Women and men are not attracted to every person of the opposite sex. We all have our own dating standards and I'm sure you have your own. Her preemptively turning you down due to your lack of hair is the same as a man turning a woman down for having a flat chest, or bad teeth or a giant nose. I'm sure you have standards as far as looks are concerned too.

 

And she's being honest too, would you like to date people have zero intetest in sexually?

Don't get to hung up on other peoples preferences, lots of women could care less about your hair and more about what's in between those ears of yours :) So dont let it irritate you its just not worth it.

 

 

But I cant help but wonder, would you date a balding woman?

Why not ? where do you think the cream of the crop is ? OLD is just another way to meet someone and all walks of life uses OLD as a means to do so.

Only if she has a mustache and a good comb-over.

You can connect on every Level in the book but if she ain't physically attracted to you what's the point, it's never going anyway!

 

Anyone has to admit physical attraction plays a part in any relationship

OP what are you looking for in a woman? Why did this woman take your attention? What are the things a man will notice in an OLD woman's profile to make him choose HER and not the others? (I'm sorry, I have never had suck a profile, not even facebook :p)

people sometimes contradict themselves and say what they want and go after the complete opposite. It could just be a fantasy of hers. yet again, it sounds like she's living in her own little world.

Actually, quite a few women I dated, physical attraction didn't matter to them....honest truth! lol

 

I guess that's why I was able to get dates with them.
