Once I had an elaborate profile, complete with
some thoughtful prose and a catalog of interests. It's nice to scan a
page and know that person doesn't work for you, or that you have some
crucial charactetistics in common. Nevertheless I don't feel it proper
to reduce myself to a page, and sometimes the info is as about as much
a hinderance as it is helpful, as people tend to overemphasize the
inflexible, static words on the screen. Reading further might
illuminate things about my character, but it will not define me or my
capabilities completely. If you truly wish to discover these things you
are going to have to do that personally via correspondence,
conversation, etc.
I have no cookie-cutter model or paper doll
for the person(s) that would capture my interest. The fact that I have
no rigid outline of "her" in my head does not mean I lack rigid
standards. Attraction is a must, as is the ability to hold a
conversation. Morevover I find the merits within the most headstrong of
switches all the way down to doormats and everything in between. That
does not mean I do not discriminate, nor does it mean I will pursue
either extreme. Frankly I find we have relied too much on labels for
our convenience, and upon that reliance we have dismissed and
overlooked people we might otherwise have found worthwhile and
rewarding as friends and prospects. I believe the exchange begins with
the interaction between two persons. If there is a current it
progresses/escalates. I seek to establish that current and pursue the
possiblilities from there.
