Of course any guy that approaches me is interested in sex, but the ones that suggest it within 10 minutes of chatting? Just last weekend I had a guy I'd never met before come up to me and ask if I'd be interested in 'hooking up in the bathroom' of the bar I was in. This happens to me often. I guess because I'm smiling and friendly to basically everyone they assume I want to hook up in a bathroom.
As for men that approach me and actually treat me like a human being and are interested in me romantically, this has happened once in the past 6 months or so and I found out later that he was married. All my other dates have originated on from a dating site and none of those have gone beyond date 2.
I'm sorry that you went through that. Jerks can be found everywhere; don't let that discourage you from men in general.
Honestly, while yes, you are a tall woman, there are plenty of men out there who have no qualms about dating a taller woman. Personally, I love women of all heights, and if you were my type and I felt like we had a good connection, your height wouldn't matter one bit.
I once read a profile on a religious oriented on-line dating site. She was located in a nicer part of Jacksonville FL and said those who made less than $150,000 need not apply. Pretty demanding for a middle-aged divorcee with kids, and on a religious site to boot.
I've done this "drill" a time or two, when it was offered at a discounted price. I explained that "since I don't want my own children, I am only interested in replies from childless women." Based on the incoming replies, it looks like some flunked basic reading.
I had the same problem, and I am a woman. I said I didn't want children, Never EVER, and I received so many emails from guys that "definitely" wanted kids. It actually started to make me angry! After a few of those emails, I stopped replying to them. I figured that they wouldn't be able to read my reply anyway, since they couldn't even read my profile.

Its encouraging to hear there are woman like you that DO want the same thing like me, no children. Now its just a matter of finding the right gal and being at the right place and right time, sigh...... I really need to get my mountain ass to the Portland/Seattle area soon so I can hopefully find her

Well, I don't know if there are any more of us up here than anywhere else, but I suppose it is highly likely since Portland and Seattle are progressive communities. I have yet to meet anyone around here that vilifies me for not wanting children.

You said the same exact thing that my 98 year-old great-grandma said to me when I got married. I grew up in San Antonio, BTW, and so did she. Good to see someone else is carrying that 100+ year-old torch of backwards thought, wouldn't want that thing to burn out
My advice to you: Close your account, stop spending time on this online dating crap, go out, be social, meet people, join a gym and although it may take a while, eventually you will meet someone, more often than not when you are not expecting.
This is how humans have done it for thousands of years and it has always worked.
I hate this online dating crap because it is becoming more popular, and for some people, it has completely replaced human interaction and some of the more traditional, natural ways of meeting people, I dislike it immensely!
What this person said. And why would you want a woman who dreads interaction with people anyway?

It's "backwards thinking" to not understand why anyone would get married if they're not going to have kids..? Perhaps you should look up the historical reasons for marriage; if you're not going to worry about primogeniture, a marriage is not very useful. People who don't want kids are also essentially denying their biology. I really don't care, but it certainly undermines the propagation of the human race.

I agree. Last time I checked marriage was between 2 adults, lots of things adjust/change over time. Many people got married in past generations because, um, it was their only option ("make an honest woman out of her," etc), those who chose otherwise (if they could) were often ridiculed. I'm more traditional then most and even I think it's pretty stupid when people say marriage should be crossed off the list because the couple doesn't want children. What if a sterile person wants to get married? Should they be forced to adopt then?
Everybody has a long list of demands ... everybody also thinks his or her own list is perfectly reasonable and normal. It's other people who are demanding.
This is why men judge them by their photo's and move on.
