baffled, i pointed this out to her, asked her what she was expecting, and she responded: "Oh. I didn't read your profile."
OK, now I need to know what you look like.

If Christianity is important enough that a man puts "I am seeking a God-fearing woman" in his profile, why is a guy like that contacting me? I usually respond politely saying, "As I am not a believer in your religion, I don't think we would be compatible."

Are these guys thinking they can change my beliefs (or should I say disbeliefs)? Or is it a matter of them just looking at my picture without reading my profile?

Gentlemen who peruse online sites - do you read a woman's full profile, or do you simply email them if you like what you see?
This exact same thing happened to me when I was online dating. I would always check off atheist/agnostic and would get winks and messages from "god-fearing" men. I wrote a few and asked them why they wrote me and the responses varied between, they weren't that religious, they don't care or they are just looking for fun. Some obviously did not read my profile.

I never considered any.

That sounds like fun! Somewhere, unlike CD, that I can post what I think without getting it deleted.

Don't let her read the label on the bottle!
