Joe's Dating Tips
Some of you may recall from an earlier post, that Joe had important rules that he thought women should follow when looking for a suitable guy to date. For those of you who are too lazy to look back at the earlier post, I will recap those rules here:
1. He cannot live at home with his parents
2. He must like porn (this doesn't mean he needs to have a collection, or even a subscription, but he can't be offended by it.)
3. His car shouldn't be too nice (b/c that means he's putting his money to his car, but not toward more important things.)
4. He must drink alcohol (Not that he should be an alcoholic, but if he never drinks, he's most likely a recovering alcoholic which means he could fall off the wagon.)
These rules were given to jrowe one night after quite a bit to drink. But I can't help but think that these rules were really intended to help me in the future.
I don't know if any of you are familiar with eharmony, but it's a dating site that makes you go through many "getting to know you" steps, before you can actually chat with someone.
The first stage is answering 5 multiple choice questions. The second stage is reading the other person's must haves/can't stand list. And the third stage is answering 3 essay questions.
If at any time you don't care for the match's response, you can close the match.
I have always found the must haves/can't stands to be silly. You choose 10 of each from a list of about 60 choices. Usually everyone picks the same ones. "I can't stand when someone cheats on me." Well, who likes that? See what I mean? Doesn't really tell you much about a person.
Well, today I closed a match based on his must haves/can't stands. I've only done that one other time. But I swear this was a message straight from Joe that this match was not for me.
His can't stand?
Pornography...
I can't stand someone who views or owns pornography in any form.
LOL!

p.s. I do not own any pornography, but will admit to wishing I did at times :O)

Good call! The guy should definitely lighten up! :o)
Gotta agree about the must haves / can't stands...pretty useless!
Wow, how odd for a GUY to say he can't stand someone who views porn. Makes you wonder what kind of bad experiences are lurking behind that one!
Something fishy about a guy who doesn't like porn. It's just abnormal if they don't admit they like it.
Good move on closing the match! Next!
LOL
One would hope a guy would just gloss over that one, you know, ignore it completely. :)
I fully agree with Joe's advice on this one, as I said to you earlier.
I like Joe's rules....
So many external hatreds are the product of misdirected shame of one's own shortcomings. The man that wrote that was most likely swimming in a collection of porn as he typed and he probably eats porn muffins for breakfast.
First of all just in case you were wondering, I'm not dead just stuck on a project away from my desk and thus unable to upload files to my site.
Secondly I can't say I like porn. It's kind of boring to me. I mean there's only three holes and there's only so many ways those holes can be filled so it becomes repetitive after a while. And the sound tracks are so pathetic.
That being said the disclaimer was this doesn't mean he needs to have a collection, or even a subscription, but he can't be offended by it. I don't get offended by porn I just merely thinks its boring.
But people who easily get offended are boring anyway so I think it was a good call to ditch that match. You would have been unhappy with someone who's boring.
LW,
I'm glad you piped in because I was worried.
Owen,
I miss your comments. Please don't stay away for so long!
Everyone else,
Your comments made me smile, as usual.
I cannot tell you the last time I looked at porn of any kind. It has prob. been years. (Does cinemax at night count? b/c then it hasn't been years. But I don't think it counts.)
And if someone was addicted to porn? That would be gross. But to be offended by it so completely that it makes your top 10 list over, say "I can't stand when people are racist" then clearly that person is no match for me.
The other thing he can't stand? People who swear. Imagine someone swearing while watching porn?! Oh, the horrors.
lol, horrors indeed. I would have filed that one under "Lighten up, dude."
Wow... there's an old saying that applies to "something else" guys do, but it can be applied to porn too: 90% of guys have seen and have liked porn. The other 10% are liars!
And speaking of giving JRowe rules, I'm thinking she could have used a few last Friday.... :) (Love you!)
You don't have any porn? I can borrow you some of mine. The best movies are the ones where they cut right to the chase, you don't have the goofy plot unfolding.
Just make sure you turn down the volume. For some reason we have porn with some of the worst backround "music", really it's just weird noises, in the world.
When we're in the neighborhood I will bring over my big box of porn...
LOL! Sounds like a plan, NIck.
