In every dating profile I read, I subtract 2 inches from a man’s reported height. Some of these people are NOT 6’0”+ . Honesty is more attractive than height.

My fav instance of this was a man saying he was 37 who was 43. I only exclude older men because I don't want someone with kids - I don't want to work with someone else in managing my homes schedule or be geographically restricted and I don't want my kid's resources going elsewhere.

This man told me his friend told him to put 37 cus a lot of women cut it off after that and I explained that that's not arbitrary for us. In addition to our preferences, even if arbitrary, being respected and us not being misled, a lot of us do it to avoid men with kids.

Turned out he already had two kids, could never leave where he currently lived and didn't wanna have more kids… Bothered me for months to continue seeing him! So basically sacrifice having my own family because he already got the chance to have his.

Stretching the truth in something this minor tells me a lot about someone in more serious matters.

I so feel like the pictures are often a time capsule. Best pic he’s youngest….by the last pic it’s clearly older and more recent. It is funny because looks are not that important but they do tell a bit about your story…..and more rent more helpful

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city.

I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
