I've been quite thorough, but also concise, in listing my particular criteria, as far as what I am seeking in a man, with whom I wish to share a casual relationship. My specifics are Not unreasonable, to my way of looking at things and my location is so brimming with things to do, that I'm very happy here. I want to find a like-minded neighbor who is also somewhat of a homebody and doesn't need to drive all over creation to find interesting and even exciting activities to engage in.

The problem I'm encountering is that most of the men that are contacting me are from all ports-of-call, other than what I have taken the time and effort to carefully stipulate. Apparently the men who message me either don't bother to read my profile, or arrogantly decide that I'll make an exception for them. Guys from NY, Canada, Greece, Italy, France, etc., who are obviously Not who I'm looking for, keep sending me their long drawn out generic form letters intimating that they'd love to get to know me better...

This is becoming so frustrating to me, I'm finding it difficult to continue being polite to these clueless clods. Is there any way, that I haven't already tried, to get the long distance swain from constantly bothering me, other than canceling my membership? I truly would welcome a fool proof method for preventing the wrong men from sending me messages, while encouraging the right men to do so. Any constructive advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, all you men of the conscious variety! (smile)

Umm, I am a guy; I keep getting messages from men saying how hot I am and how beautiful my eyes are.

Once I even put a disclaimer on my profile telling them I am a straight male. Guess what? I still got hit on. These are not men looking for men. They never read profiles.

It does not bother me though. I just do not reply.

My suggestion: Be flattered. Does it really matter?

Just don't respond. Ignore it. Why concern yourself with people you aren't even interested in?

It seems to me that you've listed your complaint in an effort to vent. The same thing happens to me, but complaining to the world about it is not going to solve your (mild) difficulty. My suggestion is that you deal with it however you know how. You already know that complaining about it will not get you anywhere. You also know there is nothing you can do about it but to delete those responses and move on about your business.

This is why you cannot find a man. It is because you are a grumbling snob. You should be at least flattered if men want to approach you no matter where they are from.

I was married twice, once for 13 years and once for 14 years, when these men each died, the first in an auto crash, when someone else was driving and the other of cancer, I was devastated. I don't need anyone, who doesn't even know me, to tell me I'm too picky and that's why I'm single. I happen to have higher standards than some, maybe, but I am not going to settle for just any illiterate jerk who comes my way, because I have a little thing called self-esteem, which the women who date you probably do not have...

I don't want to vent I just wanted to know if there is a feature that you can turn on, or some such thing, that I'm not aware of to keep the guys who live in Timbuktu from contacting me regularly.......... To call me a snob is rude and I don't see why I should be flattered when illiterate, and clueless, clods message me because they are too stupid or lazy to READ my profile.

You do not have that much self-esteem. If you did, you wouldn't feel the need to trash others.

I'm not the one trashing anyone. I just want to keep lazy, unconscious idiots from messaging me. You shouldn't keep bashing Me, because you're just proving that you're as unconscious as the out of state men and the ones from foreign countries who I'm being bothered by. Just because I can compose a sentence and use good grammar, doesn't make me a snob, either. It simply means that I have more to offer as far as communication and conversation than many, who cannot formulate thoughts or articulate them intelligently.

I asked for -Constructive- help and all you're doing is talking total shit yourself and accusing me of bashing others, while you bash me. Why don't you go somewhere else to stir up a hornet's nest and leave people alone, who are really trying to resolve annoying problems, even if they seem "mild" to some.

Wah wah wah! What is bitching and whining going to do for you?

If we get under your skin that bad then why do you give us the pleasure of doing it? Ignore US, lol. I'm glad to know that EVERY little post I write to you BOTHERS you. I think this shit is hilarious!!! You need to put on your big boy pants and suck THIS shit up and shut the fuck up. You don't have to read what we write BUT you choose too.
