When I see women discuss how much they "love to travel" in their profile, the immediate thought that comes to mind is they're looking for a sugar daddy to bankroll their sightseeing tours across the globe... especially when the profile photos consist of her in bikinis at various exotic locations with the ex photo-shopped out of the picture...

any other guys feel that way?

Mayne,
Not necessarily. I love to travel too but if you knew how I travel on a shoestring I'm just the opposite. Think hostels,camping and the $49.00 a night places !! LOL Besides travel is about seeing the sights not being so comfortable that all you do is stay in your room and watch TV and sleep on 600 count sheets. Fauggetaboutit....

What a 3 day fling to the Bahamas for $599.00 doesn't appeal to you on spur of the moment?

Here are two fairly recent threads on this topic that consist largely of women banging their heads against the wall trying to make it understood that they do not expect men to bankroll their travel, that it doesn't need to cost a mint to travel, and that they have been traveling on their own dime just fine (thank you very much):

Hi Mayne,

I am one of that lady who "loves to travel" in my profile! Moreover, I indicated this option when some of my match asked me "what interest you would like to share with your partner".
To be honest (please, do not tell anyone more) I like to travel not only in my profile, but in a real life too.
And I do not need sugar daddy to enjoy travelling around a world.
I make enough money to afford it and I would like to meet the right person who shares my interests.
I would be boring with a man who do not want to see new places, to meet new faces. These men seem to me narrow-minded and I do not want to comminicate with such kind of persons, so "loves to travel" option is as as indicator to me!

Precisely. Way too many men are not just narrow minded but completely closed minded and I would not want to get stuck with someone like that. If he can't think outside the box, if he is not willing to get out and explore the world, then we won't get along. In a way it's an easy way to pick out the bad apples so to speak.

As for bankrolling.....lol.......any man or woman who genuinely loves to travel also knows how easy and cheap travel can be and costs are generally split down the middle. If a man's idea of travel is $$$$$ then he is clueless, closed minded, and no match for me. Fortunately a lot of the matches I get, love to travel themselves and it's an immediate topic of interest and conversation. A man who knows there is a whole world outside his couch and living room to explore does not want a closed minded woman as well. After all, nothing will ruin a fun trip faster than a prissy closed minded SO who complains about everything and sees nothing. So outside the raging debates on these boards, it's really a non-issue.

If I were single again I definitely would be looking closely at a woman who liked to travel. My only concern with a woman who mentioned she liked to travel is that she would have to like to travel as a passenger on my motorcycle or ride her own bike. If she did not do either then she would have to accept that she would be spending anywhere from 2 weeks to 30 days alone when I hit the road.

Well, I'm another one of those, although I don't directly state it in my profile. But I don't travel to sit on the beach and sip pina colada - there are plenty of beaches where I live, and I don't like pina colada. I love to travel because it expands my horizons. There is also a lot to be said for exposure to other cultures and their history. It gives me another perspective or two, and I value that. Also, there are some amazingly beautiful places on this planet, and I don't want to die without seeing at least some of them. That's just me, of course. But I hope it offers another reason why some of us enjoy travel and put it in our profiles.

As for money, nah, don't need a guy to finance it. As long as he doesn't stop me from travelling, I'll be happy. And if he enjoys it as much as I do and would like to travel with me, I'll be even happier

The problem I have with "love to travel" in women's profiles is that it's a ridiculously vague term.

If your idea of travel is clothes shopping in the great cities of Europe, we aren't going to be compatible. If your idea of travel is that you never want to spend a weekend at home, we aren't going to be compatible. If your idea of travel are cruises and fancy guided tours, we probably aren't going to be compatible. I love to go see history and the wonders of nature, get off the beaten path and see what the tourists don't see, eat where the tourists don't eat. I travel to do things, not just for the sake of travel, and if we don't like to do the same things, "travel" is not going to be any fun.

It's just like the women who "love the beach/ocean". Once again, incredibly vague. If you just want to go sit on a beach and read a book. Boring! If there are things you like to do at the beach, list them.

When I see one liners with "travel" or "beach" in a woman's profile, I just skip them over like the other vague profiles on dating sites. Women with stuff like this either don't know what they like/enjoy in life or were too lazy to think about what to say in their profile.

I usually assume the profiles with photos in bikinis at various exotic locations are scammers anyhow.

Why you did not stated it directly in your profile?!
What are you afraid of? To be yourself?

To my mind you have nothing to be ashamed of!
If I were you, I would be proud of such kind of world"s perception. You were so frank in this post!

I am not entitled to advise you, but , to my mind, if you really wish to meet the right person for yourself, you should be Honest from the beginning to the end and be yourself!
