No ethically non-monogamous.

If all the selfies are in a car, I assume he is married. If he posts pics of his kids I assume he is an idiot.


Ohhhh that’s what that means

Pretending someone else made you create your profile.

But what is drama? Jerry Springer? Or run of the mill conflict at times? Or a woman being bothered when he’s checking out other women?


Manic bipolar behavior, requesting to sit with the woman on the anniversary of her husband’s death, requesting to provide comfort while she is crying over arguments with her kids or her ex husband. Requesting help getting her car back from a friend who is too high or drunk to produce information.

These are not exactly fun dates. Drama.

Don’t date to solve problems at home. Date to share a good time.


Requesting to sit with what woman? This is a very weird list

The first nine million times someone mentioned it on the old Craigslist personals in 2003 it might have been considered creative.

Whenever a woman mentions “bonus points if you…” you know you are dealing with what most basic-ass kind of person around and the said bonus points will be for something stupid.

I agree with all of these posts and so do most of my friends and would never put this stuff on a dating profile. I still hear and see all these horror stories from online dating. There seem to be nothing you can say on a profile to keep these people away.

I don’t know. I can see how untreated mental illness and substance abuse are dealbreakers. But some of this other stuff sounds completely reasonable depending on the timeline. Yes, they sound crazy if we are talking about a second date, but reasonable if we are talking about a life partner.


Sure, after you decide that that other person’s problems are also your problems. After a decision to commit.
