| Well, I have been on a lot of dating sites and have learned a lot. They are all the same. People put their profile on these sites to get attention. Then they complain when they get it.
Well, I like to fish for bass and trout most of the time. Every once in a while I catch a carp. Do I jump up and down in my boat and throw a tantrum? NO! Do I yell at all the other fish in the lake because I caught a fish I didnt want to catch? NO! These dating sites are just like fishing. Once in a while you have to put up with a few carp. But a good fisherman is still going to handle it with respect and let it go without hurting it. And a lady with CLASS will do the same thing.

| I am glad i have had the time to read this forum. I have posted a inquiry for seasoned dh members. On almost exactly the same topic
Thanks landing007 and bassman 1959. i will use some of the suggestions. i have been struggling with some of the emails and winks from the opposite and same sex. instead of deleting them. I can just feel comfortable responding with a no thanks. acknowledgement and a response on this site does not cost me anything. it makes all kinds of people to make the world go round. god i am glad i stumbled upon this site. because there also many people on here that i am learning from and i enjoy it.
having said that i can let myself get frustrated with some of the emails that i receive and send
thanks guys

| Thanks for the vote 4U2 - Great analogy Bassman
Even a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work...lol You can catch fish if you don't cast.
I think everyone would benefit if folks were a little less cursory. Unfortunately, that's not the world we live in today.
way-too bad

| Well I have let this thread go on with out adding a comment or two, so I will chime in to add my 2 cents. Bassman.... I apologize for deleting your email, I don't remember it, but I look at this site while at work. (not probably the wisest thing to do, but I do it anyway) So I delete things in error sometimes when people walk by sometimes and not mean to do it. I have looked at your profile and you appear to be very nice, but you are too far away, and not really what I am looking for because of that. I appreciate you correcting me.  Thank you.
As I read through a nice man said something that I also agree with..... the invite for a friend. Why do you ask someone to that you haven't even had a conversation with to be your friend? Or IM someone you have had no contact with, I have to turn those requests down.

| The person who has the delete key has the power. To me there is no sense in being upset when a member uses the tools that this site gives you (for free I might add) to try to get your attention. There is no real vetting (like eharmony.com where they actually decline members) or commitment (pay to play subscription like most other dating sites). So you're going to get players, pimps, ho's, scammers well the whole enchilada of behaviors that humanity has to offer.
So be grateful you have a delete option.

| Mj,
All I was doing was complimenting you on your profile. Which is what you were looking for. In no way did I think you were my type or I was your type at all. And you are right, you shouldn't be on this site while you are at work. I own a business if I caught one of my employees on this site when they should be working I would can them.
Like I said, some of you women are really full of yourself if you think every man that gives you a compliment wants to date you.

| Hey Bassman, I like it even when I catch CARP!
I just chat away, but Im up front in letting them know what I want. (Read my profile guys)
And when it comes to a real boat and rod and real.... heck I like that kind of Carp too. Don't matter, I just throw them back. It's all about the thrill of the catch anyway. I'm not gonna eat what I catch!
ROTFLMAO

| Men and ladies don't like rejection, but that is no reason to be a jerk to them if they reject you. It is life, not everyone is a match.
If someone winks or emails someone and they reject you politely, that is no reason to be a jerk. If it hurts your feelings, then you must get hurt alot. Rejection is a part of life. Are you going to tell a manager off when you don't get hired for a job??
People think they can say anything and do anything over the internet that they would not do in real life, face to face to someone.. Reality check for those who think this way. If you would not do it face to face to someone because they would probaly kick the crap out of you, Don't do it here. If you think it is ok, well, then get off the dating sites for Adults and come back when your nice and mature. Have a good day.

| Where to start, A short time ago. very shot time ago I was the same way. Until someone
showed me that there is no need in being upset. That whats meant will be. And if its
not meant to will not be. So now I'm not going to worry about things the way (I did
because her thoughts go with my motto)Life is short, Be happy>>>>>wickedcards<<<<<<<<
