Agreed. Sheep mentality and political correctness and just simply being afraid to really say what they are looking for is the problem.


Exactly. And I'm conversant with this because I catch so much flak for being one who DOES lay it all out there, right up front, about what I'm looking for and what I'm NOT looking for.

A lot of people don't like that, and that's OK. Because I figure it like this: what can they really do about it, anyway? Are they going to hunt me down and bump me off because my preferences exclude them? I doubt it (my ex-wife excluded, of course -- there's no telling what she might do).

Anyway, people write prfiles that say what they think they're SUPPOSED to say. I mean, if you're really THAT concerned with what a few hundred random strangers, who are billions of miles away, think of you, then, fine, put up a bland and vapid profile talking about how much you want to meet someone smart and caring and funny and kind. It's the exact same profile everyone else has, and you can save a lot of people a lot of time that way, because reading that drivel ONCE is more than enough.


Political correctness is another killer too, it's a tool used to suppress true feelings and remove any uniqueness and "police the mind" of everyone of free thought.


And it's doing a damn fine job of it, too.

Because people let it.

in a potential mate then why are they so hard to find? I've been thinking that if most of us prize loyalty, honesty, sense of humor, yada yada yada, then shouldn't we possess these qualities ourselves? Soooo then, why are we single?

I'm going to hold off on my theory a bit and see what others think.




I believe it is fear. We allow fear to come into the equation. You get yourself ready to ask a person out. This person has all the qualities that you want in a bf/gf. But then fear comes along and helps to stop you from asking this person out. Alot of people hate being rejected. And that fear gets the best of them.
i agree with this
