So last night I was bored and said why the heck don't I just have one profile and see what happens. Maybe Mr. Right will find me.

Haha!!! That was a hilarious idea...

Number 1- I am going to be super picky and if you are not what I want, I am not wasting a second of my time.

Number 2- The cute guys that I like and see as a fit, view my profile and nothing. No message. No nothing.

Number 3- The non-white guys are requesting to meet me and the guys way overweight. No. Just no.

Online dating is laughable at best and really should be used for strictly amusement purposes only.

I am not investing much time into this so won't be sending messages to any men. If an attractive one happens to peak my interest, I will message them back. But other than that.. Entertainment and laughing... Lots of laughing.

I am ready for warm weather and being less bored cooped up in the house.

So you're not going to bother to message the men that catch your attention? Just sit and hope they come to you with no effort on your part?

Dang, wish I had known that before meeting my partner online.

OLD, like most things, is what you make of it. If you see it purely as entertainment, it will be so.

No. I am traditional in that men should make the first move. I might hint that I may like them, but then the ball is in their court.

A couple years ago I invested time and was serious about it. I only attracted losers. So this time, I am going in with the attitude that is amusement and if I do find my mr. Right then great, but if not... I will be good with that also.

Starting to get bike fever, so will be saying yes to all the good looking Harley's.

back in the day when I did OLD if I found someone that would interest me I would wink/ send a message, its a two way street. I wasn't going to chance missing on a potential someone because of some pride. Its how I met a lot of great people. I was also the one who found my SO and "winked". I never came on his searches/matches even though all his and my specifications matched. If it wasn't for me finding and doing that small step we wouldn't be where we are now.

It's hilarious.

I can see that she is now going for the Hells Angels type. Sounds legit and appropriate.
I only date within my race. That is pretty common. That does not make me racist.

Being desperate is what had me dating the wrong guys. No more. Being really picky now.

And I like fast cars and motorcycles. That does not make one part of the Hells Angels.

Thats how it should work, but people like the op here think that good men just magically appear in her inbox with no effort on her part, because of traditions.
