I was just talking to this guy (profile said single) for 5 days and over 300 long messages of platonic conversation. We really hit it off. I was trying to find an old childhood friend of my dad's online and thought "hey, why not google him?"
It turns out he's married and has been for 4 years. Never once did he mention anything about her, even in conversations about family and relationships.

Oh my .... the stories I could tell would make one wonder why on earth I didn't know and why in the hell I continued to try. lol
* income greater than $100,000 required - really?
* drinks regularly - awesome for the local VFW
* drunk driving and admitting it ... with their kid in the car ... Mother of the Year award on the way.
* height - must be taller than _____
* avoiding a question brought up in conversation - hiding something
* pictures without a "date stamp or obvious decade it was taken" - likely has morphed into a troll over the years
* getting upset that I found them on social media - once again, hiding something
* wants to keep in close contact with a former BF - hasn't moved on.
* very religious - to each their own
* prints off emails to analyze them for hidden meaning - yes, I kid you not
* women who have professional photo shoot pics just for the dating site
* showing too much skin in pics online - attention *kitten*
* hiding an addiction or physical condition
* serial daters ... loving the chase or being chased.
* hearing, "my cell isn't working right" .... avoiding calls or texts frequently
* separated
* and worst but not least, women who don't really know what they want. For most, I can tell in the 1st 10 minutes of meeting if I'm interested and I try and be upfront. Why waste their time right? However, since I know what I want and have no issues telling someone I really enjoyed their company, that seems to freak some of them out and I never hear back from them. Ok, why date then? lol ... which makes me wonder if they are either serial daters or chasers.

If all the pix are of her and her friends and I have to sift thru the pix and 'figure' out which one she is. Maybe not a red flag but pretty damn annoying.0

Larger men who are not all that fit, wanting only fit women. I often want to ask.. "Do you own a mirror??"0

- "Looking for Mr Right" : I don't know what I want but I am a simple fool and I am manipulated by others all the time. Yes, you can have some of that too.
- "No drama": I will bring enough in your life: my friends call me drama.
- "Treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king": I am high maintenance, I will b!tch all the time and I will complain loudly and make scenes. Thanks for the money, it was nice knowing you.
- "I'm crazy!": I'm boring.
- "My passions/sports/activities": I can't put drinking and hanging out with friends, right? So I shall list the things I've done once or twice last year.
- "A picture of me in Peru": from 3 years ago. I haven't travelled since. I don't look any younger either.
- Only face/blurry/hipster-filter pics: your imagination will disappoint you.
- Girly pictures with girly girls and selfies: I'm superficial and I won't understand all the words you will be using. LOL xxx
I love reading between the lines to see what people actually mean.0
