Other than being befuddled at the lack of responses I get on a certain dating site at times, I enjoy reading others self-entitled information listed on their profiles. It is quite hilarious if you ask me because standards are so high, yet those who post this self-entitlement are not perfect themselves. If you have been married more than once, have more than one father of your child, or have more than one child then what makes you so deserving of all this self-entitlement from the other half?. I honestly do not think that some take a look at themselves as they put their profiles together. My question is, what are you bringing to the table because all I see is leftover baggage from your previous relationships. And self-entitlement is not worth, it just shows that nobody will ever live up to your standards, appearance and success wise which explains why you cannot keep a relationship. Have you ever just sat back and browsed through profiles on any website?

For busy folk like me that work, and go to school it is a back up to assist with finding someone with similarities.
Every member of a dating site should read your article, Thomas! 🙂 An adequate self-esteem and demands that are not exaggerated will save a lot of time for both parties… If a person is not ideal how he/she can claim to have an ideal partner?
Despite all peculiarities and difficulties of virtual acquaintances, I have examples of happy marriages of people who got in touch through such sites. Both just must be normal and adequate!
Part of me enjoys reading the good things people share on their profiles, but I know I’m not the ideal person they would respond to, even with a simple “Hello”, which is humbling.

Is ‘Hello’ humbling? In which cases?
Gets ignored for whatever know reason. I always reply a hello because it lets me know that the site is working. I imagine that there is the fear of getting hurt by others, being why sites aren’t any luck.
Wishing you success in finding a nice person with similarities. It’s a matter of intuition, coincidence and destiny – what I feel about it… I know beautiful stories of getting acquainted happily on these sites…
Thanks, Nat. I’d imagine that if I ever came across someone that was interested they’d see more of what I’am about.
Making acquaintances in real life is the best thing I think, though it restrics us by the location but you live in a megapolis so you have a lot of possibilities: a cafe, a cinema, during running or cycling, at work, in the underground, on the beach and so on…
Funny that sometimes I am bombarded by boys or men, it looks so nice and I am pleased a lot but I am married so it is just a cute talk or sometimes I remain silent and disappear.
Do dating sites have a video message? Thus you will be able to tell something and it will be more vivid and informational, your amiability could be seen, you can also give links of your writings and the potential partner will see your cool brain not only cool appearance.
I’am pretty sure that there are some that have video message. Probably costly though.
I’ve never been on dating sites. You made it sound like some people share ‘shopping lists’, and it’s possible. Perhaps, these people aren’t truly interested in having a relationship, but understanding what their ideal partner would be like, because it seems like they don’t even know it themselves. We all have priorities, but ‘everything’ shouldn’t be one. ?
It is pretty much a shared shopping list that doesn’t exist, lol. It baffles me because it isn’t true love if they meet this certain someone they are looking for that meets these standards. I can meet a woman walking outside of my door, and can easily fall for her personality over her appearance. I would think that others would be similar.
Wanting better, but eventually will not get it in the end
I doubt that because the entitlement comes across as being bitchy, and ungrateful. Nobody wants that unless you are willing to settle, which I have no interest in settling for that.
