That is true. I have emailed pictures of matches I am really interested in to my best friend. Sometimes I need a second opinion

Some of the guys not posting photos are probably decent looking... but too lazy to post? Think women should want them for what's on the inside? LOL! (Does that sound familiar?) I'm flexible on many things about looks but I want the courtesy of seeing who I am talking with.
You are absolutely right!Nothing about posting photos precludes theother personfrom "liking you for what is on the inside." As I have said before, NO ONE WALKS AROUND ON A DAILY BASIS OBSCURED BY A COMPUTER-GENERATED SILHOUETTE

Ok, point taken...thanks to the computer whizzes out there for pointing this out. My next question (as pre-empted by LawyerDan) is:


Big deal...SO WHAT????

i rushed to see if i were any of the aforementioned woman and i must say i was glad not to be in the top five. but i much be in another set of five types of women that men avoid. this is one of the responses that i am all ways hearing from women...... you dont look needy enough. you are too independent and can be intimidating to some me. i try so hard not to be like that but i still find myself without a mate. any insight?

Someone earlier said:How is labeling ones self as 'Independent' not like saying 'I would rather be alone'?


So I responded with this...


Yep, that is my take on Ms. Independent. Some woman make it a point to prove that they don't need anyone - which is fine - but when carried too far make you wonder where you are supposed to fit into their lives.


My suggestion to Ms Independant: Make sure to express that you do want company and let him know you will make time if you have a busy schedule (ie there needs to be room in your life if you want to share it with someone).


I hope this helps.

I don't think it's a big deal.At least not to me.Like you said it's not like EH allows inappropriate photos.Plus EH is not one of those siteswhere anyone can log in and find you.Which is really the main thing I like about EH

As far as the Windy Bag, most women do most of the talking whether it be dating, during a marriage, living with a man. Men just don't talk as much as women. Women use their mouths and their brains as a weapon sometimes, while men just use their fists. So if a woman talks too much for a man's liking, perhaps it is because it is because she is nervous about the way the date is flowing, or she may be hiding behind humor because of low self esteem, or if she is just not interested in a self centered narcissistic bore, she may be using her mouth as a weapon. The key is is she listening as much as she is talking? If she is then motor mouth date is talking equally as much. I mean what should she do. Go out to dinner, sit down, lay her napkin in her lap and then just listen to her date tell he how wonderful he is, what he does for a living, his likes and dislikes, his family dynamics and just nod and smile. If she did that, she'd be a bore, too timid and we all know how much a man likes a timid woman. Not!!!! Oh I suppose the ones who like to beat around on a woman like her to be timid. Get real. Most men have little interesting to say so a woman usually has to be a Yacky Duck.

I can't deal with the ones who create drama by always pushing my buttons, getting me upset, and then expecting me to bring them flowers and apologize to them every single time.

I also cant deal with the "teases" - the ones who make me feel like they are attracted to me and want to pursue romance, or else we have a really long, good phone conversation.


Butthen theysuddenly disappear and then two months later I by chance see them at a coffee shop on another date with someone else.
