The question is simple, the answer is complicated. We've come here to find that perfect match. But perfection runs deeper than we think. It's not the hair, or skin, the color of the eyes, or how you look. It's about how you respond, think, and can adapt to the changes. I read many profiles, I see many letters and chat requests. But this is about the same as looking at a picture. You only see just a glimpse into the life of the other. I see many women here that claim to be interested in me. Until just now, I didn't even have a picture up. Quite honestly, there is so little room in the profile to describe yourself, and your desires... yet when I read a woman's profile, it says very little about you. It's like some kind of random fishing here... drop in the bait, and see if some guy will respond. Questions about the weather, or Trump, or 'do you like long hair?' Quite boring... Not everyone is like that, but most are. What is appealing about these kinds of questions? I know many women here feel that age or religion isn't important to them. Yes, you might be very mature for your young age, but maybe I'd like someone a bit more cultured. Personally, I am a priest, so for me, religion is very important. Breaking the language barrier is only the first step in communication. Without it, confusion will only lead to anger and contempt. Regret soon follows as disappointment increases. Who in their right mind wants to set themselves up for failure? This is why I have been silently searching for over 3 years. Trying to find those few, and perhaps the right one for me. If it was about make-up and boobs, I'd take the first thing that smiled at me... Is that really how you want to be treated? Is that all you are worth to the man you want to be with? There are many pretty women here, looking for someone like me. But are you deeper than your own skin? Are you willing to question your own values, and ask the tough questions? This isn't a matter to be toyed with, or taken lightly. I certainly am not going to spend lots of time or money, just to get to know you, and then drag you through the rest of my life, with you kicking and screaming the whole time. As you can tell, I like to write. I will write until my fingers fall off, or your eyeballs fall out. THAT is what is needed to get to know each other. It isn't rocket-surgery to write long letters, express yourself, test the person you are speaking with, and only then, will you begin to have a blurry view, or the person you are talking to. I don't know what the levels of understanding English mean. If you have to translate this, to understand it, then you've missed a lot of the context. If your eyes fell out 2 minutes ago, then you'll be bored with me quickly. But if you've read through to the bottom, your one step closer to having the patience to grow and learn about someone you don't know. Good luck with your searches, don't get offended if we don't always reply... read the profile, and maybe there is a clue there as to why we aren't interested. Personally, my search is very specific... yet open enough to get to make a few friends along the way.
