I'm not surprised and she was probably dead serious. I doubt it was for "Shyt's and giggles" like some of you seem to think or want to belive.
I've noticed both men and women have som many things that they "require" for a potentil mate, I'm not surprised why many are single and are in and out of relationships.
I'm the kind of guy that can work with a gal. I don't "require" much. I always say, give me a 7 and we can work on becoming a perfect 10 together. Most people go in looking for a perfect 10.
Not everyone can afford to take an international vacation. There are plenty of places to visit without leaving the United States.
She sounds high maintenance.
You see here's the thing. You and I would not be a compatible match which is fine, not everyone is/ can be. I would not be happy living without international travel - it's one of the great joys of life for me... and thankfully for my DH too.
You would not have answered that girl's profile.... which is good because you probably wouldn't have been a match. So what's wrong with that? I don't get it.

Meh, I would agree with you over a lot of things, but not something like this. If you were an avid sailer, you probably wouldn't be ideally suited to someone who couldn't swim and had a pathological fear of water and suffered from chronic sea sickness.
Would MUST HAVE SEA LEGS!! be seen as a weird requirement? I think it's the same thing and no big deal.
I wouldn't answer the above person's ad because I don't really like sailing - we wouldn't be as compatible as I would be with someone who enjoyed other things.
You can't date EVERYONE, so you have to narrow down in some way surely?
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.
This is deja-vu. I once saw an ad that said "must have a well-worn passport." She was very well traveled and was in investment banking. Every last damn line about her and her requirements was pretentious. I hope she has a good collection of d***os...she was something less than human, though very attractive.
This is probably why you've got more people dining and traveling alone. Other than not being able to split some expenses, it can be real peaceful.
People like to have all these inane "requirements" to make it seem like they are such a hod commodity. It's like McDonald's asking for a full set of references and 18 months kitchen experience.

If I was dating, I could totally see myself saying something like this. I don't see it as demanding at all. It's a fun way of saying - I love to travel and I hope you want to come too!
This kind of thing is how you end up with someone you are compatible with rather than someone like my husband's Dad who has never left the country. Someone who doesn't want to travel would literally e a deal breaker for me, so why not be upfront in a cute way?
I don't get the issue with this at all.
I agree with this. Well maybe I wouldn't put it in all caps and maybe I wouldn't literally require him to have a PP at this very moment, but if he's not willing to take foreign trips then we're not going to be a good match, so why waste time? It has nothing to do with arrogance--I just want to date someone who shares my passion for traveling. And I agree with you about Longtimebravesfan not being a match--nothing against him--I'm sure he's perfect for someone else, but I'm totally bored by sports and I have the feeling that it's something that's important to him so I wouldn't be a good match either.
Once I read in a dating profile that anyone with a chihauhau (he spelled it that way) need not apply. Well I sent him a pic of my chihauhau and we did write quite a lot for awhile but the distance was too great so we gave it up, but I just thought it was funny. Someone else would probably have complained about what the dating world is coming to.

I disagree somewhat. Obviously people living from paycheck to paycheck won't have the chance to travel. If you take the average working stiff and take away the plasma tv then a trip becomes within reach. And the type of people on dating sites tend to be reasonably affluent. But then some people would prefer to collect nice things-different strokes!
To some people (myself for example) traveling abroad is a priority, so I look for stuff like that in common when I'm meeting girls. Is that the only thing? Of course not, with no chemistry between us it doesn't matter if she wants to go on an expedition to Timbuktu. For those of us who manage to make more than we spend, it's not an issue of being able to afford to travel, it's an issue of priority. People who are passionate about it would see where I'm coming from.
