Baby. Momma. Drama.

I have been chatting with a man from an online dating site for close to 2 weeks. He seems like a very nice man, and we have a lot in common. We have had some great conversations about our lives up to this point, and what we want in the future. He is very involved with his 2 young children, and has a decent job.

So of coarse, as with most things in life...if it seems too good to be true, it probably is....

I was chatting with him on an instant messenger today, and the following conversation took place:

HIM: Morning sunshine!
ME: Hey there!
HIM: How's your morning going?
ME: UGH! Migraine! I've been in bed since I took the kids to school. How's your day been?
HIM: Guess who just showed up here?? UGH!!!
ME: Who??

There was a long pause, and then the following:

HIM: Oops! He failed to mention that he kissed me and was happy to see me :-) Good luck with him!
ME: (I did not respond)
HIM: If you can take the lies, drugs, no money, no car, losing jobs, honey he's all yours! You can take care of the 38 year old child. Stay away from my kids and you won't have any problem from me :-)
ME: (Again, I did not respond)

I was speechless. I could not believe this woman more or less threatened me. I do not understand women who talk about what a horrible person their ex is, especially when it comes to drug use, but yet they still allow their children to be around them. It sounds to me like I should be the least of her worries!

Not that she will have to worry about me...I am definitely marking him off my list of prospects!

Beauty Is In the Eye Of The Beholder, As Long As She's Skinny

Every once in a while I run across a profile that I can not help but give the guy a piece of my mind. This is one of them:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the fourth time I have posted a profile here. Four times I thought I had found someone and four times I was wrong, Ha ha. I'm not giving up (I guess it's that darn optimistic streak that I have.)

Just looking for someone that isn't narrow minded or shallow, someone with interests other than sports or television shows (I stopped watching tv years ago), someone who has intelligence but not worried about what society says they should be/do. I am partial to smaller sized women (No offence) but if I cant bench press you then I probably won't be physically attracted to you. I don't have a preference on looks as long as your height/weight proportionate. I mean seriously, I don't want to have to help you up the trail when were out hiking. I'm sorry if that sounds superficial but we all have certain types that we are drawn too and I am just being honest.

When I was younger I was in an open relationship for a few years. Some women can't understand how I could love someone in that situation. That turned out to be the longest and best relationship that I ever had. She was the mother of my only son (he's now 19). She died in 2008. Just to clarify, the "Open relationship" stage only lasted a few years (out of a nearly 20 year relationship)

After my spouse died I moved into my family's home along with my youngest brother. Some people have a problem with that but in this economy a $700/month mortgage is easier split 3 ways. I love my family and family is the most important thing period! I have worked at the same company for 7 years and I own my own vehicle (2 in fact plus the one that I'm paying for that my son drives)

Hopefully this gives you a little idea of what I'm about

I hope today is good, tomorrow is better and something wonderful happens for you!
Namaste 

MY EMAIL TO HIM, WHICH I ENTITLED 'HYPOCRITE'

Your profile says, "Just looking for someone that isn't narrow minded or shallow, someone with interests other than sports or television shows (I stopped watching tv years ago), someone who has intelligence but not worried about what society says they should be/do." Then in the next sentence you discuss how you don't want to date anyone who isn't height/weight proportionate. You don't want someone who is superficial, yet YOU are superficial! You are far from perfect and should not base attraction on a woman's body size alone...lucky for you not all women base attraction on the man having all his OWN teeth!

HIS RESPONSE:

Wow, such hostility. I don't claim to be perfect, I just know what I find attractive. A lot of women do the same thing with age or income or weight. (I only know this from experience). You could be the sweetest, kindest person in the world but you can't make someone be Physically attracted to you. Just to be fair, I have gone out with women that weren't physically capable of keeping up with some of the activities that I like to do. I'm not looking for a woman that bases attraction on a man having all his own teeth (That would be superficial)

I didn't expect such a response but thank you for responding. Hopefully your having better luck on here than I have been getting. (I met four ladies so far and none of them worked out)

Namaste
