Do you think maybe the reason you've been "mostly dissapointed" is the fact that you're approaching finding partnerships as though you were applying for a job?

Wait, maybe you are applying for a job.

Come paint my house.

To be fair, I couldn't by any reasonable stretch be called a Pagan either, I just figure that 5 out of 6 is close enough. But I promise you that in general you're not missing out on much in that community.

I'm considering dropping it, but I still need to find someone to fix my storm drain.

[illicitbeauty]

Yes, because I'm so fucking HardCore that I get welded into my restraints.

[wordweaverlynn]

How about into a chastity device?

[illicitbeauty]

....

Um... no thanks, I'm good.

[j5nn5r]

It's a little different, to be sure, but also very refershing.

Wow.

Someone who actually bothers to figure out what they want and at least tries to communicate it up front.

He may not be my cup o coffee, but he gets a nod for honesty.

[illicitbeauty]

I don't know, there's nothing particularly refreshing about "I have a laundry list of skills and a laundry list of needs". It seems pretty standard fare on a lot of dating sites. I mean, the fact that he lists "welding" instead of "good communicator" in his skill lists is pretty damned funny, but his honesty isn't particularly titillating.

[j5nn5r]

I appreciate someone showing how they communciate instead of just saying, "I are a good communicator".

Having dealt with people who don't know what they want, or don't communicate it when they do, I tend to like clear laundry lists better than guessing.

But when it comes down to it, I think it's just a matter of taste.

Definitely a matter of taste. Personally, I run screaming from anyone who has that narrow a pigeonhole for their prospective mates. For me, part of the personal growth you get from relationships comes from adapting to someone who doesn't always fit your image of perfect. And--God forbid--what happens when the perfect candidate that you choose up and changes on you, as people are wont to do? Do you ditch them by the side of the road and post a new job application?

I want to be with someone who knows himself well, for sure, but not someone who already has a role planned out for me.

Have I found someone else willing to admit they at least liked that moment in Exit to Eden?

[j5nn5r]

Loved it.

[illicitbeauty]

*bounces* That was totally what I was referring to.

[redtheda]

Well he *is* a geek, with all the social ineptitude that can go with it. All that stuff about his skills just sounds like he's boasting, and completely doesn't get it. You don't "hire" someone into a family, unless you're living in the 1800's and homesteading. How about personality, attraction, things like that. There's almost nothing in here about who he *is*, just what he can *do*. Wow, so you can build me a robot. Maybe *it* can sexually satisfy me. :P

I'm barely a five out of sixer - I am bi, poly, geeky and kinky, but I'm agnostic (just too lazy for organized religion - I had a passing interest in paganism as a teenager, but the older I get, the more new age stuff annoys me) and I can only be called a gamer by the loosest of definition (I have a nasty online Scrabble habit).

[ishtarishtu]

There's online Scrabble!?

Oh, my.

[dda]

Wow, so you can build me a robot. Maybe *it* can sexually satisfy me. :P

And now I'm reminded of that bit in Heavy Metal :-)

[luighseach]

Online scrabble? Where? Where?!
