Not this woman! That would make me run for the hills!

As for the OP - that's pretty funny!

I usually don't reply to guys with too much religious references in their profiles. It isn't that I object to dating someone who has religious views, but religion should be a personal thing IMO, and I'm wary guys use that as a way to try to show women what "nice guys" they are.

If this guy was as religiuos as he claims to be I don't think he would be ready to get it on after only one or two dates.

I don't know why someone would ask nor answer 'how many dates before you are willing to have sex?' Totally irrelevant to someone 'claiming' to have an interest in trying to get to know you. I would never answer nor ask that question, personally...I don't 'get' these people today nor how they think about things.

No big deal to me she really wasn't my type & IF I wanted sex I'd hit the local watering hole.

I agree...I wouldn't answer that one if I was on there. Plus it really depends on how much I like the person I'm dating. There's no set answer.

there's no set answer for you and that's fine, there's one for me and it wouldn't be any of their buisness until I decided it was, not them. I may have been naive in the past to answer it before figuring out many men ask that kind of question to gauge how quickly he will be getting laid, that's pretty obvious.

anyways this guy doesn't even sound like a good match for jrz.

What do you C-D folks think?
I think any guy who talks about becoming lovers the first time he messages you is a pig (that's my forum-friendly word), and you should have deleted the email, and not given the guy a second thought. You said you were a bit jarred...you should have acted on your first instinct. When people show you who they are, believe them!

LOL. Don't worry - this guy never had any hope of a date with me. I just found the way he presented himself to be a rather fascinating train wreck!

And for some reason his very stilted and formal language and his statements about his religion paired with the evidence that he was a bit of a horndog just irritated me. I thought it would be unkind to eviscerate him in an email (because I'm really good at that), so I just posted my issue here - it was just so ODD.

Actually, I answered that question specifically to stem the tide of casual-sex-offer emails. I think it reduced them by a bit... but not much

But no, he wasn't a good match at all - part of the reason I was so mystified by why he emailed me.

Maybe he thinks he can change you.
