I'll start. I like 'em somewhat liberal but not too hippy or flaky.
I like 'em smart but not made too cruel or impatient
by their intelligence. I like irreverence and not taking
oneself seriously except when it is worth taking seriously.
I appreciate that everyone has been through something but
I am not here to heal anyone nor do I ask this of others.
So much to ask for? Must be. I keep finding people that
1) want someone to heal them, 2) are into really esoteric
weird stuff, 3) are smart and impatient with the rest of the world.
Not all together, but those three seem to sum um the kinds of people
I end up finding in the dating world . Is this the universe, just pick one?
Someone else next--
I like `em sweet, cute and loyal and with the ability to whip up a good meal from nothing. I found her 10 years ago and won`t let go...ahhhhh:).

By popular demand, apparently. :rolleyes:
(Edit: I was referring to myself, not ripping on anyone else participating in this thread.)
Because I smell bad?
I really have no idea.

Esoteric weird stuff can be stimulating and a lot of fun.
I sympathize for those of you who are looking. Lots of people are very self-absorbed, which makes it hard to establish a good relationship. I'll offer the age-old and counter-intuitive advice. Stop looking. It will find you. :)

I think i'm actually in limbo right now, so i'm not sure how to answer.

And stop being so picky, just find a nice girl that you respect and fall in love already. Jeesh, you single folks make it so complicated:rolleyes::p
i have no clue, either.

Dear Abb...err..Zorro,
If it finds you way quicker then you thought it would, is that a bad sign?

That's my philosophy at the moment, having just broken up with someone.
Never really bothered, I guess. *shrug*

I'm single because:
I'm currently unemployed.:(
My roommate is my younger brother, so my house is not the ideal dating environment. :p
I'm too poor to date much:D
I like riding my bicycles and motorcycles in the summer and skiing in the winter...it's not easy to find a woman who likes those things.;)
And the #1 reason I'm single.....
I spend too much time on Bike Forums!!:p:)
Some day I'll meet someone, but for now I'm just an average guy gettin' by the best way I can.
Or your size 16 feet :p..Yes. That combined with my clumsiness means I end up accidentally stomping away potential suitorettes.

*looks to either side* Nope. No conjoined twin.
That's okay. I think dating your conjoined twin would be frowned upon.
Because I smell bad?
I really have no idea.
Seriously, though, I'm single because my girlfriend just said ... oh wait. I'm not single :P
Giant dogs. A gazillion bikes. No more than 4 months in one place at a time (cabin up north, winter home in KS, main home in MN). Footsie pajamas. 'nuff said?

I think that is why they are still single. :p
But seriously, the only way to not be single and find a mate, if that is your goal, is to be more open and accepting of another person's personality, quirks and flaws. I used to only go for 6 foot blondes. But being 5'6" tall made for some really disappointing nights in the clubs.;)

Because honestly my voices make for much better conversation than my ex ever did. She couldn't even hear when they were talking to hear, she wud just ignore them. What an self absorbed *****?.. I call her tonit and she didn't even call back at all.. no. I mean, who else would be calling her and hung up like that..? Just cuz I haven't done it in like over two months - doesn't mean that she cant be able to guess. yeah it was me. And yet no return call. women.. no, just plain wo. freakin wo.

All right! Spread the word! Flap in the back is best, but they're hard to find...
With or without the flap in the back?
What do I look like? A pervert? Of course WITH the flap!!! :p

Respectfulness
We expect our members to show respect for others. Respecting their person, their views, their time and their opinions, and their belief systems ... even if you disagree with them.
Strong hint........:mad:

Only if she asks for $50 first. :p
Hmmm, i don't think that worked Tom.

Naw its all good, was trying to be funny. I ain`t got what it takes for porn but I have a life time supply of pie:)
I'm one of those guys that some other guys hate.
I get girls easily. Well, before I settled down anyway, and now I still get, um, offers.
I don't know how it happens, it just happens...

Anyway--props to you man. I've enjoyed a spell or two
of that kind of thing but fortunately it passed. I think
having to try made me a better person.

Because I spent too much time on BF. Plus, I'm a geek. I don't hang out in bars or clubs. And let's just face it ... I'm not your cream of the crop. Always been the "good friend". Although "friends with benefits" wouldn't be bad either.

A comment and a question for you. First, I don't think you're looking in the right places. Secondly, exactly what do you consider "esoteric" and "weird"?
