I met my wife online in a chat room back in the day. Actually, it started innocently enough. She was a salesperson for a computer company here in Houston and they needed another technician. Well I successfully BSed my way into an interview and landed the job. Turns out soon after I started there I was being dispatched to supervise the builds we were doing in Austin. Well these little corporate excursions with my wife lead to numerous late night “corporate meetings” between the Sales and Technical departments. So not only did I get my break into the computer industry (which sadly I had to leave later) but also met the mother of my two sons. Moral of the story-sometimes not looking for something is the best way to find it. :biggrin:

That's a nice story Ronnin, unfortunately I didn't look for anyone for several years, and I got just what I was looking for...no one. :cry:

It's not that I am picky about the kind of guy I date or anything. :rolleyes: I am just looking for your average genius that has a full understanding of, and can talk about, just about any topic I can think of (and I can think of a lot of topics), has the patience of a saint, loves cats, hates sports, is handy around the house, has good carpentry skills, is a good cook, is kind, compassionate, passionate, understanding and considerate, AND he has to make me laugh. If he's a tall nerdy guy with thick glasses and disheveled hair, we could be talking love. :blushing:

If anyone knows a guy like this, will you please have him contact me? :redface:

I:

  • Can talk about damn near anything.
  • Have the patience of Job most of the time, but am also prone to violent outbursts. Don't worry, I've never physically harmed anyone.
  • Hate cats.
  • Love sports.
  • Am not of much use around the house, though I can perform most basic handiwork (just don't often wish to).
  • Am certainly a good enough cook to satisfy myself. I don't often cook for others, but they generally seem to be satisfied when I do.
  • Am neither kind nor compassionate, not often passionate, not considerate, but quite understanding.
  • Am tall with disheveled hair, but not particularly nerdy. My vision is perfect and is likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Sorry.

I never posted my experiences here...

I've been a member of Eharmony for over a year, though my attention span is highly variable. I've gone out with four women with varying success, but here's the thing: I've been reasonably compatible with every one. No psychos, no train wrecks, no druggies, no one who was vastly different than the way they presented themselves. It is easy and low stress.

Two of my female friends got pages on MySpace and quickly got deluged with guys hitting on them - mostly relatively straightforward requests for sex. It freaked both of them out, to say the least, and I have to imagine that that scares away most of the normal women. And seeing as how I have a low tolerance for B.S., I wouldn't be able to handle the grab-bag of random women Warren dealt with before getting lucky. Congrats, Warren, but I'd have had to shoot myself or one of them long before finding the right one.

Dear God! And I always thought that's because of immaturity of me to look for such a guy. (well my kind of man is not exactly the same way as yours but has a lot in common with. I don't mind him playing sports but hope he hates watching them and alos he must be kind with animals especially birdso:) ) Anyway I am not sure whether this kind of guy could be a real creature or even if there's a man like him he could keep me interested for a long time! So I guess I go for a intelligent not too ugly who's got a sense of humour and doesn't take the life so seriously...o:)

Well that doesn't sound like too unusual a list of traits. Now you can do what my wife did, that is to say marry someone who was 8 years younger and fairly fresh out of school and train them to be all those things. :smile: Just kidding, but she did teach me how to cook, and I already loved cats and don't watch any sports. But the passion part, I can honestly say we worked on together. :rolleyes:

Zooby suggested i try this, so far i have 20 nubile Russian girls who want to marry an older English man (as Russian men are all drunkards), 5 high pressure business women that have never had a relationship before, and a load of old boilers, where is my eve :confused:
I just noticed this thread, and I'm sure I never suggested you try online dating, much less a Russian Mail-Order bride. I thought the advice I gave you was about how to get a woman interested in your motorcycles.
