Online Dating????

Satyr said it best.

 

Thanks for sharing. I just found the time to fully watch it.
She is a smart and funny woman.
I'm happy for her that she found "THE ONE" against all odds.

 

It wasn't against all odds she took a very intelligent approach. I admire her for it

 

My "against all odds" was about what she said in the beginning based on statistics:
that there are only a few men out there for her.

 

If guys ask why, I tell them. Fortunately, I've never had anyone get ugly. Even the one I simply told that I prefer to date BM. He was cool about it.

 

I hear you. I think her assessment was wrong personally. I never understood the cultural Jewish thing but fortunately it worked out for her. Personally I don't think most people can afford to be that picky

 

If she practices traditional Jewish customs, she would probably seek a spouse that does as well. Nothing strange or wrong with that.

 

She said she really wasn't into it like that

 

I think she didn't want to have to adhere to things religiously. But her family expected her to marry someone that observes Jewish tradition.

 

I hear you I just think these kinds of stories are misleading. Being that stringent might not work in the end for most. I could be wrong but I think of the masses of women competing for the same type of guy and will leave a lot of good people lonely. This feels way more like car shopping than trying to find love.

 

It works both ways.
All those men chasing the 20 something blondes, while good women their age are still single, even though they have so much to give.
Why do all your stories sound like the women are more superficial or stringent than the men?

When I registered to a dating site, you know what the first message from a guy was?
He didn't ask what I'm looking for, he didn't compliment me, he didn't want to know more about my interests and he didn't wish me a nice day.
He only asked if I'm gonna upload a head-to-toe-pic in the near future.
Does this kind of behaviour sound like looking for love?

 

Men chasing those 20 something blondes aren't usually looking for love its more of a temporary/fun thing. I also think the dating sites you use make a difference. The lady in the video was using an algorithm based website which are usually paid sites with people who are far more serious about finding something long term. Btw I never said her search criteria was shallow just really limiting.

 

Speaking on behalf of my golf loving brethren, they all dodged a bullet with that woman. I stopped listening after hearing her say she did not want to "put up" with a man who plays golf. Certainly she is entitled to her views, hopefully her husband does not have any other interests that she would have to "put up" with.

 

That woman seemed very superficial, self absorbed, and sensationalized pretty much everything in her story. Strikes me as the type of woman if her relationship failed she'd blame everything on everyone but herself and run to national tv trying to garner sympathy for more $$$.

 

I think she was specifically looking for someone to sit on the couch and listen to her say "I" "me" and "my" every day. Participate in any activity that does not agree with her interests and you are being selfish.

 

Ok cool you guys saw what I saw. She viewed this shit like buying a product not meeting with an individual to spend her life with. Say what you want about men but at least that shit stops with the physical no one is actually trying to control your habits or how you think.

 

What "cultural Jewish" thing are you referring to?

 

I don't get separating the religion from the tradition and it being such a determining factor in picking a life partner. It's like calling yourself a cultural Christian. What would that mean? Just going to church for major holidays like Christmas and Easter and making the sign of the cross when bad stuff happens?
Just doesn't make much sense to me but my family isn't rigid in that way so maybe that's the difference.

 

:smt043 LOL that was a good one.
You would understand why I'm laughing if you experienced what I lived through.

 

Although I can certainly understand why he gave you all of the compliments you deserve, he may be cautious about taking the next step. You know how honest and trustworthy you are, but he doesn't. Give it it time and see if you can gain each other's trust.
