Just a thought.

It was just wishful thinking I guess.
Kinda like Match.com.

Profiles give you a chance to get to know someone a little more,
provided they are honest. And let's face it,
People don't like to show their not so good side.
at least at first.

Like
"I'm a little jealous."
Or
"I'm extremely selfish"

Not saying I am any of these...
Just giving gentle examples.

People in general Lie.
At least that's my experience.

But it would give one the opportunity to be oneself at least a little bit.
like...
"L'Angel de la Mer needs Serious Captain to spoil"
or
" Captain seeking empty headed victoria secret model
to make sandwich's and sun naked on the foredeck."

for a headline then you kinda know what your in for.

Then you add specifics...
Interest's,
goals,
Personality type stuff, etc...

Personally, I would not answer the latter headline,
but the former is something I would say..

You can kinda get to know someone without meeting them first
by chatting online for a while.
I say a few months asking specific questions.
Then, always trust that gut feeling.

Like I said,
Wishful thinking I guess,

misquotes



I agree with you to a point. The whole "Pledge of Allegiance" thing is the most egregious. But it was pretty clear to me when I read her signature that the word "god" had been added by her, editorially. Just as I don't read newspapers where the editorial board is too clearly biased, I can ignore this. It tells me more about the poster than about TJ! Which after is the purpose of using quotes in a signature - tell others a little about your values.

If you don't like what's tv....
change the channel.
You have the right to your opinion,
I have the right to my freedom.
You do not have the right to try to change me,
or intimidate me.
Stop trying to hijack my thread.
Either make a comment about Sailor Match.com,
or
Start your own thread,
or
MYOB
In any case, do not tell me what to do.
You do not have the right to infringe upon my freedom.
Thank you very much.

Thomas Jefferson, third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, said:"I trust that there is not a young man now living in the United States who will not die a Unitarian." He referred to the Revelation of St. John as "the ravings of a maniac" and wrote:
The Christian priesthood, finding the doctrines of Christ levelled to every understanding and too plain to need explanation, saw, in the mysticisms of Plato, materials with which they might build up an artificial system which might, from its indistinctness, admit everlasting controversy, give employment for their order, and introduce it to profit, power, and pre-eminence. The doctrines which flowed from the lips of Jesus himself are within the comprehension of a child; but thousands of volumes have not yet explained the Platonisms engrafted on them: and for this obvious reason that nonsense can never be explained."

More Thomas Jefferson:

"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity."

"But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

"Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear."

Etc, etc.

(I sure hope you realize why I'm quoting Thomas Jefferson!)

LOL you guys are funny.....sometimes. As to the subject at hand, cool idea. I'd get serious about it were it not that NOTHING is going to derail my plans to leave and go cruise post haste. Surely there is some entrepreneurial spirit here who could take up the challenge though. It's a good idea.

Regards,

Thomas

Caleb,
So when all else fails.
Humiliate!
You really are a piece of work.
You don't know me.
Who I am.
If mean is all you can be,
Stay away from me!

Bwalker-

Is this intended to be a tool to find crew to operate a vessel for cruising or racing or is it intended to be a tool to find a "significant other"?

If it's the latter, I feel that the Crew Wanted sub-section of Sailnet is not the appropriate place. There is indeed, a soul-finder on Cruisersforum.com but if you're steadfast in your desire to repeat it on Sailnet, I recommend placing it in the "General" section.

Crew Wanted is just that- Crew, not "life partners". A dating service mixed in with it, will simply cause confusion.

If there were any such thing as a sensitivity meter or empathy meter this thread would barely cause the needle to twitch.
Why do people always attack others that they don't know or understand. Instead of just holding their tongue (fingers) for awhile or just simply moving on.
There are Christian or spiritual or as you guys would call them, wacky male sailors too.
Brenda, As a man, I apologize for my entire gender.

Since I, having been married for thirty years am planning to stay that way, I would probably not visit a forum designed for hooking up too often. But I certainly don't see why a forum like that wouldn't be a pretty natural thing to have on something called a online "community".

We have threads, lots of threads, that seem to serve no purpose but to provide sweaty mats where republicans and democrats can roll around in their own virtual sweat and wrestle with old, usually inaccurate and often irrelevant factoids for pages on end.
And I could cite certain environmental threads that are taking up gads of room.
Who put any of us in charge of what's worthy of consideration?
What? Are we worried about wasting a little band width on a forum where single people can hang out and flirt with each other?
Seems rather stodgy to dismiss the idea out of hand.

Thank you knothead for your very kind heart. I appreciate you more than you know!

Thank you for the info flysci! I appreciate the fact that even if you do not like my signature, you seem to have a live and let live attitude.

I've heard about that site, but for some reason the name seems offensive to me, ya' know? It's like you're trying to score a hooker in a bar or something.

Regards,

Thomas

It really isn't meant to be offensive. All it means is that there are plenty of fish in the sea! So if you got heart broken by one, it's ok, because there are a lot of people out there who won't break your heart!

Online dating has a weird stigma, but it's really ok. Especially when you move and know *NO ONE* in a huge city. I moved to NYC a few years ago, and knew not a single person. I got on Plenty of Fish, and had steady dates, girlfriends, etc, while I was there. The site is great, and it works.

The only thing you have to do is set up your profile correctly. Ie, don't make yourself look boring. Some people put up photos they took of themselves in a mirror, by themselves. What does that tell me about you? It tells me that you're boring. So put up photos of you having fun. You're a sailor, put up lots of great photos of you battling the ocean, or cruising in paradise, etc.

By the way, since we can kinda guess you were looking for a "casual encounter" (haha), from your other thread, POF is also a great source to meet women who just want to smash private parts together! kidding! (not really)
