As I said before, I clearly state that I want a picture in my Craiglist ads. I tell potential respondents that I think that attraction is important. So why do they act shocked when I ask for a picture if they didn’t send one with their message?
I love when people tell me I’m shallow.
Let’s get real here for a second because most people using either dating websites or Craiglist have a serious problem with honesty when it comes to attraction. Attraction is important to everyone except the blind. You can try to lie to me all you want, but I’ll call you on it every time.
Sometimes I feel like I have the same conversation over and over again.
Everyone has their own criteria for what making a good potential dating partner. You will not be what every person is looking for. I prefer brown smokers with no kids who are around my age. You, most likely, do not fit this description. Most people contacting me are white, non-smokers. Some have kids, some don’t.
I will date outside of my preferences, some things are not set in stone. Some are. And really, if you were outside of my preference range, I would just continue looking. Quietly.
Some guys (again, just the gender that I am dealing with) have extreme anger issues and should really take a step back and look at what they are doing. Why are they so angry? Who are they angry with? And how is it going to help them in their “search for love”?
It’s not going to help them at all.
…so I thought I would join a dating website.”
I have actually seen these words in men’s profiles on dating websites. Not a good sign.
Myself, Cat and Tipsy were having a Girls Night a few weeks ago and I said something about posting a Craiglist ad due to boredom and the fact that I haven’t gotten laid in like forever (or like two freaking months) and Tipsy said “Why don’t you join a dating website instead? Like Match or EHarmony?”
Cat agreed and said something about it seeming safer or more reputable or something. *eyeroll*
You people have no idea what you’re talking about.
I’ve said before that I sometimes use Craiglist to meet guys and it has it’s advantages and disadvantages. In the past, I’ve also joined dating websites on the recommendation of my stupid friends who know nothing. (Never listen to your friends. They know nothing and may be trying to make you as miserable as they are.)
Which is better? In my opinion, Craiglist, if you can handle it.
