Everyone wants everything now!

I came across a dating profile tonight and the first thing the young kady said on her profile was NOT: "Hello", "hi", "thanks for stopping by", it was

"YOU MUST HAVE A PASSPORT!" Of course, it's always said in the most DEMANDING tone too.

Funny thing is, no where on her profile did she mention traveling nor destinations that she's visited.


Man, if I did not need sex, I would not even try to date. I really do understand why people give up on dating and say F**K IT! I went to Chipotle today and had more fun by myself than I've had a many dates.
yea that pretty much sums it up. I went to my uncle's body building competition a few years back and was basically horrified at the way some of them talk and they said the same exact things: if they didn't NEED sex they wouldn't even bother with women/dating them at all. But what you said is true, there's reasons why some people just say oh well about the whole damn thing.

The woman likes to travel.
So?
No one is forced to respond to a profile.

I wouldn't be involved with anyone who didn't like to travel because it's my passion. It teaches me something about myself with every trip.

She apparently doesn't want a schlub who sits at home.

It's no big deal, move on if you're not interested.
Sheesh.

Then I suggest that you not pursue a relationship with her and move on to the next personal ad you're reading.

I agree. With 3.5 billion women on earth, he's bound to be able to find one that's a preferred homebody.

While I agree with your sentiments over the dating scene I don't see
anything in particular wrong with the "You must have a passport!".

She likes to travel and wants someone to share that with. If you don't
then there may not be nothing there for you.

Apparently only about 30% of Americans have passports given there is
so much to experience right here and the fears of running into trouble
abroad.

It means she wants you to get a passport. If you cant do that then you have no business contacting her. When us women specify certain criteria you must have it or your out the door.

Other than that I have been on 3 round the world trips and numerous international vacations all with MY Amex at center stage.

Oh and for the record - I enjoy fine dining too. Someone who goes to nowhere but chain restaurants is not going to work for me. Guess what MY Amex always covered that too!

If you ask my husband if I am high maintanence I bet he would say no. Fortunately we enjoy the same kinds of things. That's what makes us COMPATIBLE life partners. Is this really so hard for some of you to understand? Perhaps if you spent more time narrowing down your options to women you REALLY have things in common with, there would be less posts on here moaning about trivia like this and more great relationships.

Reading the bitter vitriol painting every woman as some sort of entitled gold digger is getting so freaking old.

Huckleberry the more posts of yours I read the better I think it is that you stay single. With attitudes like yours it just wouldn't be fair to date.
2 possibilities when i get a lengthy post like this.
-----i have found a poster with such incredible intuitive abilities that they can do a flawless instant character inventory on an utter stranger.
or
------i hit a nerve.

You hit a nerve. I am soooooo tired of reading that kind of post assuming the worst of all women all the time.
You are so bitter I really do feel sorry for you but at the same time there's really no excuse for the crap that gets written here about women all. the. time.
And you really are one of the prime offenders. Aren't you ever happy about anything? It sure doesn't come across like it in any of your posts here.

There is a wonderful life to be lived, potentially with a wonderful partner. It's so sad to me that people just throw it all away because of how jaded they become.

Some people are happy watching porn and playing video games all day and would rather not be around people.
