no fat chicks, no smokers, no cats
I concur. I wouldn’t want to date a cat either. I’m strictly into humans 
No, it has more to do with I would have to look at the person day in and day out, and be intimate with him. If I cared about reflection on me, I would pick someone who is very wealthy rather than looks.
Looks are a strange thing. When I met my ex-H most people thought he was much better looking that I was. When he left me for someone else, she was also better looking than I was. A lot of years later, it’s a bit odd to realize that I’m now much better looking than either of them. We’ve all aged and reality is that I’ve aged better than they have.
My parents were high school classmates. My dad was the best looking guy in their high school class. My mom was pretty, but nowhere near as good looking as my dad. By the time they were 35, my mom was better looking than my dad. By the time they were 50, some people wondered how a homely man like my dad ended up with a beautiful wife.
Aging well is the best revenge. :-bd
Or have the best of both worlds. Have a fling with a good looking guy when he is young but marry the aging well guy and grow old with him. The trick is to find out which one ages well.
GMTspouse kids that in widowhood, I should get a sugarbaby and enjoy myself.
Interesting, in my earlier post I mentioned there is plenty of fish, there was a company PlentyOfFish that was bought out by Match.
Nottelling, I met my H online, but not on a dating site. For the life of me I can’t remember the name of it, but it was for “just friends” which is what I was looking for at the time. His funny answers ans similar family size and type, plus his career are why I replied-I just figured we’d have a lot in common, but not too much, and no pressure to impress one another as with dating. We’ll be married 16 years next week, so I guess that “friends only” thing went a little sideways. Not that I’m complaining.
“Seeking someone who is educated and cares about culture, the arts, and current affairs; who can talk about all of these without being pedantic or boorish; good manners; good sense of humor; kindness, loyalty. No smoking or illegal drug use. Self-disciplined in work and personal life.”
Fortunately I’m already married to a person who fits this description, so I don’t have to place this ad.
Smart, funny, honest, faithful, motivated, kind and a non-smoker.

What’s Really Hot on Dating Sites? Proper Grammar
On dating sites, spelling, punctuation are judged; ‘Are you kidding?’

Reminds me of all the grammar-nazi threads we’ve had on CC. 
Hair. DH had the most gorgeous hair and still has most of it. I told him when we started going together that if he ever went bald, I’d divorce him. Of course I was joking, but he says he thinks his hairs are afraid to fall out.
I’m glad that my bald and single 29-year-old son doesn’t visit this site.
Brains, heart, compassion.
Proper grammar/spelling doesn’t hurt either.
I am impressed with how well people know they like/dislike in advance. I am a bit clueless in this regard and think i can get along well with just about everyone who meet a few basic tribute like trustworthy and respectful.
Non-smoker. Fitness has to be a big part of his life. Intelligent.
Marian, that describes my son too. I have a friend who said she’d be crushed if her long-haired H went bald and would mourn if her sons lost their hair. I feel bad for all the men in her life, if that should really happen. I mean, really? My S started losing his hair at 17, by 25 he just decided to shave it all.
Igloo, for me, at least, what I wanted in a relationship changed and matured over time. While I might have preferred certain physical characteristics or habits/lack of habits as a 25 yo, I was certainly looking for more internal things as a 40 yo. And as I’ve learned, once you’re committed to someone, the “must haves” are very different again. You can adjust your expectations if someone is that important in your life. I know both H and I have, and good thing, too. We are not the same people we were even 17 years ago when we met.
Common now, some people find men who are bold sexy. Lighten up CC!
I like bold men who have hair.
