I have a friend that has an STD, from a relationship very early in her life. When she becomes involved with someone and they want to move forward she does disclose her condition. It is surprising how many man are NOT deterred by this information.
So apparently there are many people who would date and become intimately involved with someone that has an STD.

I don't think in terms of a ratings system but I do find some inquries very strange and I'll look through my profile to see what made them think we would connect.
I get a lot of men over 60, Bikers, Mormans and men looking for a third partner.
Yikes!

I don't find it hard to find a date.
I do find it hard to find a date that I want to be on or want to see again.
things I was willing to accept in my 20s are definitely not the same in my 40s.

It isn't easy but with the right mind set it can be fun.

Snuggling with my pup

I'm good friends with a couple that have been married for 15 years with her being 12 years his senior.
It can work!

No way, I'm claustrophobic!

Me and best friend have an understanding of the expectation of best friends.
This isn't something we would ever do to each other.

My first dog was named Princess. The next 2 dogs were named 'P' names. The first animal not named starting with a P got out and we never found her, the next one not named starting with a P got hit by a car. The names have started with P ever since.

Great move, your body will thank you!

I was so naive when I heard....

I'll put my hotdog in your bun

I'll put my meat in your taco

I had to ask my older brother what it meant, needless to say he walked to school with me the rest of the year ;D

I'm in Carson, about 15 minutes outside of Los Angeles, CA

I was raised in a faith based household.
I was taught that God loves me and expects me to always work towards being the best me and that he will never not love me but I can disappoint Him with my behavior.
I was taught to think for myself, to question to understand Not to be snotty.
I raised to be a critical thinker, so much so that I have degrees in biology and nursing
Being good parents and raising successful children can be done in or outside a religious based home.

This research project is kicking my tailbone!!!!!!

I've been asked this question several times and my answer has been,

What have I missed out on by believing?

I spend time with others that have the same beliefs
I donate money to causes I believe in
I have a community I can draw on for support
I have a source that I can turn to when I'm hurt, depressed or feeling defeated that shows me how I can make a way
I can communicate with someone who loves me more than I love myself
I have someone that challenges me to be better today than I was yesterday
I have someone that reinforces that I am charged with treating others as He would
And the list goes on

So, so what if I'm wrong, so what if this world is it, and when I'm gone I'm gone. I've still lived a life that was good and I'm proud of. What did I miss out on by being a believer?

But what if I'm right. Wow!

Definitely personal preference
I'm more attracted to clean cut there have only been a couple of times I've found long hair on a man attractive.
One of my good friends is just the opposite.
It's 6 of one half a dozen of the other.
Good luck to you!

When educated people ask me questions based on racial stereotypes and are clueless to how ignorant they sound. My life nor the lives of ANYONE I know is depicted in a freaking rap video.

You need to be honest about yourself with yourself

Too many people will say whatever they have to to get what they want. It's their actions that show their true character.

Definitely possible.
2 of my co workers met their now husbands on line
1 life long friend met his wife on line
My brother met my now sister-in-law on line
It happens, a lot. Just not as often as being approached by lame scammers!
