I update my profile every time i re-sign up. here’s the latest:
When it comes to dating, I'm old fashioned with a twist. I believe in courtship and the chivalry that accompanies it. The twist is that it's 2018! With text, social media, it can be difficult to navigate a potentially meaningful relationship. I'm terrible at text and I rarely use social media. You might have to answer an actual phone call.
I am in promotions for the LA Times. I go to venues and market the paper. Yes, there still is a newspaper! With everything going digital these days, it feels worthwhile to support a cause as important as print journalism. That said, I have a degree in economics should the paper business cease to be. Broker services is probably where I’ll land having worked previously in the field. On the side, I dabble with dropship projects.
You are someone that enjoys being treated well. You speak up when necessary and also know when it’s time to tone it down. You are empathetic and have a genuine interest in the welfare of others. You search your place in this world and wish to land on both feet with clear mind, open heart.
I subscribe to the 'get to know now, fill in details later' line of thought. any feedback on the profile? Would you date this person?
Idk, it sounds ok. How old are you? It is perfectly fine but if you want me to point out how I really feel I would think you’re a little too old for me and I wouldn’t go for you till I saw your photo and talked to you. I think I’ve seen profiles I liked better but I would be open to knowing more.
This line strikes me as a little controlling. I’m not trying to hurt your feelings. Only trying to be honest with my feedback. Perhaps try something using the word assertive, it seems more empowering.
perhaps I should expand… i meant speaking up in defense of one’s partner… us sz will undoubtedly cause friction. I wasn’t clear on that, I’ll revise it. Thanks @Leaf
Yeah, that line sits kind of awkwardly…it sounds like you’re trying to show that you want to be dominant. I think some women respond positively to that while others are turned off by it.
Though, I would guess me with my loud mouth am not the kind of woman you’re looking for.
Are you wanting someone that defers to you instead of speaks up whenever she has something to say? Because that’s how you’re coming across. Intentionally or not.
i think the original line is ok… I’m not sexist or looking to dominate someone. It just means she knows when to speak up and when to be calm. It has nothing to do with her being submissive to me
