Got this one today:

Age: 52
Height: 5' 2"

Some additional information Gloria wanted you to know is:
That I am attracted to taller men (over 5'10") who enjoy staying physically fit. Exercise and healthy living are important to me and it's important that my match feels the same. Also my match has to be within just a few years of my age (48-57 ONLY please). Sorry, but I'm not interested in older men.

At least it means that I don't have to waste my 10 seconds to send First Questions.

Not sure why she did not close me out right away as she did view me even before I had gotten up this morning.

LOL, ol Gloria seems to be trying to compensate for her shortness by wanting a much taller man.

Gloria is going to be waiting a loonng time for a man like this to come along and be interested in her. Why would any man in her desired age range, who has the characteristics she wants, be interested in a short woman who is 52 yrs old?

Maybe she can't correctly guess a man's height? Doesn't she know that average men aren't over 5'10"? She's wrong. What she's attracted to isn't right and she's a horrible person. (interpret my sarcastic comment as you see fit).

Honestly, I wish her luck. She'll need it.

I'm always amazed by the restrictions some people put in their additional iformation on their profile.
Do they just want to be closed out over and over again? I prefer to judge on a case by case basis.
And who are all these short women who want tall guys??? I have dated half of their rejects, and I am tall!

These are many of the same people who says the system doesn't work because they're not finding them the mates that fit their narrow view of what they want.

Many people see this as a shopping list. They try and cherry pick what they want, and wonder why the cherry picks don't pick them back. If everyone cherry picks, then its a wonder how anyone gets matched.

I figure that I'm jus a lil too country for most of the guy's I'm gettin matched with.

I am only really picky about how far way they are from me.
I dont want to date someone that is over 2hrs away.
But thats jus me.

I'll find someone I like soon enough, I aint tryin to rush it.

Unfortunately, her poor attitude made it not worth it.
