Pretty cynical outlook on the male sex you have there, Honeybarbara. You know, it's not nice to generalize. Some people might take offense. ;)
Ive been on a couple of those dating sites, too. There's a lot of weird and strange women on them also. All they want is a guy with one foot in the grave and a big bank account.

I'm not picky when it comes to interests. Something in common, some things different. Variety is good. So long as he has a job and isn't content sitting around all day every day. I think the motivated man is a myth!

If women weren't crazy I'd become a lesbian. ;)

Go to google image and search body painting. The money is awesome, but you have to save enough of it to pay for next years vendor fees and permits.

Frankly, I don't care WHO takes offence R.I.P....and I do have a sense of humour; but it's life experience that's made me bitter and twisted! :D [/i]

I lucked into. Roomed with a girl who`s in a very popular local all girl band who was looking for something to set them apart. But I imagine it helps to have a good bed side manner, aka no drooling. :P

Sure. Why not.
Reading is great. But if you read and if you don't have an open mind... reading doesn't teach you enough.

Would I date someone who doesn't read? I married him! He's read one book, Where the Red Fern Grows, and he loved it, but he has no patience for reading anything but the sports page in our daily newspaper.

I love him anyway. We have other things we like to do together. And I have my book club and you guys, right?
