Well DF, I don't think I am "in a funk" over this, as you say. That is a bit extreme, don't you think? I just decided to post here to see what my fellow EHers think, since I'm sure we've all had matches who have said something that maybe didn't register with us or seemed a little off.

The "tell you later" part about his occupation did seem odd, as I think knowing what a person does for a living makes for an interesting conversation topic. It helps you get to know a little more about them. One match I had the last time I was on EH was a Navy helicopter pilot. In our conversations, I learned a lot of interesting things about him, his job and what all goes on during deployment. I did not really have a good idea of what Navy life was like before I talked with him, so it was a learning experience. I am puzzled by why this current match does not say what he does. It's seems a bit secretive and I don't know why anyone would want to be secretive unless they worked for the CIA, the mob or something like that!

And now that somebody has mentioned it, I did wonder about a couple of other things, too. In the part where it says, "The most important thing so-and-so is looking for in a woman," he wrote, "I am tired of people playing games and not communicating." Well, this little Dear Abby question does seem like a bit of a game, no?

Also, he put that he is Jewish and one of his must-haves was spiritual acceptance. From his profile up to that point, I got the impression that his spirtuality was very important to him, so I thought it would be interesting to find out more. In the last round of questions, I chose "Describe your spirituality" as one of my three. This is what he wrote and I don't think it was a straight answer to the question:
My spirituality (I am guessing you mean religion) I think religion is a personal thing and I do not push my values or religion on anyone and I do not want anyone else's religion pushed on me. No one can tell you your spirituality is wrong nor should they. Your relationship with God or Allah, or whatever is your business.

OK, I get that and I agree with what he was saying here, but it wasn't answering the question. I'm interested in learning more about him specifically and his spirituality.

And before anybody else says it, I know I've spent too much time analyzing this match, but other posters' responses have brought up other questions that made me think more about his profile and his answers.

It could be worse...He might sell Amway!
