Not a sign of a brilliant conversationalist.

That's kind of weird. To me it reads as lazy, which would be surprising for a guy who has two degrees.

Looks to me like dating by numbers. He doesn't seem interested in devoting time to get to know each other. I guess that's the nature of the online dating game...

OMG..please people. I dont want drama either, and not because I am full of it. If I were to do the online thing I feel like I should just say what I mean, and someone will appreciate me for the honesty. But, its like you cant know what to say because someone will be sitting back picking apart every word. Oh, she said this..so..it must mean that..blah blah.

It's so frustrating. What the h#ll do you say in these profiles that wont be picked apart? I thought his profile sounded okay. I AM in law enforcement, so i dont have an issue with cops. Behind closed the doors the ego you think they have can really change and they are down to earth. Main problem with male cops is cheating because women love the uniform. Guys that could never get laid throw on that uniform and BAM there is a chick flying to his side. However, at least you know the chances of him being a serial killer are lower.

Look, online sites are just a way for you to 'meet' people. It's just bringing people right to you that maybe you didnt have the chance to meet when you went grocery shopping. Nothing changes about the dating scene. You still have to get to know them, find out what they are about, etc. OP, if you met this same guy while pushing your shopping cart around the store, and he told you the exact same thing..what is the difference? You STILL have to verify all that. You STILL have to get to know him. You have to put the time in to find out what he is about. So, just do that. Talk a few times on the phone, make sure his voice doesnt make the hair on the back of your neck stand up..and then pick a public spot and meet the guy for coffee. If you get bad vibes, or he comes off like a jerk, or you feel no chemistry..then NEXT!

Meeting someone online just brings a prospective date to you easier. It doesnt mean you dont have to put in the time. There are no guarantees whether you meet online or in person. Good luck.

My post above was about people saying they dont want drama. Now, if someone is writing to you about SEX before they even meet you..well...that's not someone I would even bother meeting. But, that's just me.

Directed towards the Op..
I think you are taking a gamble for positive/negative anyway you roll the dice..
A profile is an intro, he did not state anything negative, he stated HIS truth and what he was about.
All my family is in law enforcement so for the poster that stated the comments about over inflated ego's and blah blah blah were based on whatever bad experiences they have had and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Online dating should not be that complicated..Because as good as they look on their profiles ( men and women) texts, phone convos? This in reality is worth nothing until you meet them
If you like him? go in with no expectations other than you are meeting stranger and go from there.

The more they say sex or talk about it , the more that is all they have on thier mind. This doesn't sound good.

I met him last night for drinks. He is very good looking even more so in person but his personality and attitude SUXS! He has a very controlling dominant personality and I am a very independent person. When I meet a guy I talk about positive aspects of myself and life in general. He told me how he is so much more better then American men calling Americans fat and lazy, he is in better shape then men younger then him. How he became a Sargent at the Police department how he is boss of dumb American cops who do a lousy job. Then he started bashing his soon to be x wife. I said to him in your profile you said you were divorced and how honest you are........He claims that they are a week away from getting divorced.....


So what i did was I went to the bathroom and asked a friend to text me in a few mins making believe she is locked out and I have her spare key........ So when my friend texted me I told him Im sorry I Have to leave I Have a emergency.....He said to me no problem there are a lot of desperate ******* at the bar.

Now we know why he is single in the biggest little city in the world.

Wow, you guys are so calculated it makes my head hurt. Picking single words as red flags, trying to psychoanalyze someone based on a paragraph they may or may not have written. Never did online dating, but it seems like a total waste of time. I imagine someone engaging in online dating would like to be careful, but this is way beyond anything raitonal or expected.
