Yeah, if they say I'm not a feminist, I'm out. I couldn't respect a woman that is ok with being a second class citizen, and I can't date someone I can't respect. That's a good one.

I'd add Paul Simon to that list. His lyrics are poetry.
I agree with you, but for some reason if I play my favorite Paul Simon (The Rhythm of the Saints) my cat gets upset. He likes Dire Straits though.
Talk about things that don't need to be in your dating profile. "I have a cat who hates Paul Simon, and if he doesn't like you, I probably won't either." lol! My present bf actually scored points with me a bit, by saying early on, "I speak cat."

Well, your cat is OK in my book, because I love Dire Straits. Your bf sounds like a catch, too.
I suppose "my girl cat doesn't like when I play my Tibetan singing bowl" or "my cats look at me strangely when I dance around my living room alone at night" probably wouldn't be a big draw.
But amazingly, "I pick up and 'relocate' rocks to my garden whenever I travel" and "I talk to birds and trees" were not only met with hearty approval, I was subsequently introduced to the flying squirrels and birds that HE talks to. Wasn't OLD, though, just a forum similar to this one.

I love my cat and I love that my boyfriend "gets it"...I mean, it's the perpetual entertainment of having a cute little incompetent villain around the house. It's like living with Marvin the Martian or something. The cat, that is...not the boyfriend. lol!
The boyfriend is a catch, at least in my book. He found me online, not really a dating site though some try to use it that way, more of an adult/fetish social media/discussion forum/event coordination website thing. Aside from my photos, he liked the pop culture and cult classic references that were peppered throughout my profile. He got excited that we had similar tastes. Animation like The Maxx and Invader Zim, Hitchhiker's Guide, and I closed out my "about" text with a Monty Python reference:
"We apologize for the faults in this profile. Those responsible have been sacked."
Guys who state: "looking for a woman who won't mind helping a guy who is not too tidy around the house". The visual that comes into my head is straight out of the TV show "Hoarders".

-If they have a picture with their ex-gf (surprisingly I've seen a lot of this)
-If they haven't written anything in their summary
-If they have spelling mistakes or say things like "not looking for anything serious"
-If they have kids
Yeah, if they say I'm not a feminist, I'm out. I couldn't respect a woman that is ok with being a second class citizen, and I can't date someone I can't respect. That's a good one.
I was talking about respect with a friend. She mentioned how some guys just wanted a woman they could walk all over. And I was wondering, well, why would anyone want someone who doesn't respect themselves?

I think you're friend is right, lots of people, sadly, want someone they can walk over and/or control.

LOL. My husband is not too tidy around the house (not hoarder, just not organized). But he didn't really advertise that in his online dating profile. Come to think of it, I didn't mention my housekeeping aptitude in mine, either.
