Am I shallow because...............
| Mon, 09-04-2006 - 5:53pm |
I am not into bald guys? Or short guys? Or guys who are not of my race? Or old men or little boys? I am so tired of putting my preferences on my profile only to have guys who are way out of my preferences contacting me. Does anyone else feel this way? I can't go for someone who doesn't appeal to me.

Shallow? no. Human.
I consider myself to be fairly picky. This, after having dated different types of men and coming to the conclusion that I know what I like and don't like. I'm happy to have grown to this awareness.
Like yourself, I'm not attracted to bald or short men. Been there, done that and it just isn't my thing. Likewise, I prefer dating Caucasian men- and while I generally don't list this in my profile, it is a preference.
Regarding being contacted by men who don't match your profile preferences, it's a pretty common pet peeve with OLD. Like you, I too have received my fair share of men contacting me who were beyond my age range, had kids, were in poor physical shape and/or living across the country. Annoying? Yes, it can be...but that's where a sense of humor comes in pretty handy. Sometimes, you've just gotta laugh and scratch your head :)

Nope. Not in my opinion. One GREAT thing about OLD is being ABLE to say what you WANT. I look at it almost as a "shopping list", lol.
