Sigh....
Scenario: An anvil is about to fall on his head from afar, you whisper "watch out honey" as the thing comes crashing down on his head.

Well, he didn't want me to raise my voice, ever.

Maybe he's just come out of an abusive relationship where his partner verbally abused him and he just can't take it anymore? Or maybe he just wants one of those women from The Handmaid's Tale? If he's that preachy it is probably the latter.
Funny how people on dating sites often just go for whatever the profile pic is, like choosing the ripest tomato in the produce section, never checking to see if the fruit might be rotten inside even though it looks good on the surface. No wonder people wind up in bad relationships.

get rid of pof. my thought.

I’m laughing with you, and shouting too. My profile, finally, said in the first lines that I’m bisexual, liberal, and atheist, so “if you need a ‘god-fearing woman’ STOP HERE”.
Did they stop there? Even read my profile? HELL NAW.
I gave up on dating sites when I realized how preemptively hostile my profile had become. (?as if anybody READ it, anyways!)

Gave up on Match, Our Time and Zoosk and met someone here. The Singles Chat Room is a great opportunity to see someone for who they are-if they have a temper. Don't understand why more Singles Group members don't check it out. It worked for me and Dan and another couple Connie and Chuck. Give it a shot.

I think you should take one for the team and marry the guy. Just pretend to be meek until after the wedding, then completely let loose. There would be a very sweet and kind young woman out there somewhere that would benefit greatly from your selfless act. Sort of like when people pay the bill for the next customer in line. Your new idiot husband would probably benefit as well, and every time you yelled at him you could take comfort in the knowledge that you've done your part in service to a greater good.

He's a misogynist.

Good luck to him finding a mate is all I can say, it’s not exactly an inviting chat up line unless you have been to the Stepford Wives finishing school!

Sadly there are still many people (men) who still hang on to antiquated, misogynistic beliefs.

Sometimes people post criteria in reaction to the relationship they just left. Sounds like yelling matches might have been in this fella's recent past, or maybe childhood memories of parent's fighting, if "raising her voice" to him would be unacceptable. People change and adapt their criteria for very personal reasons. Sounds like this fella has some issues or behavior that causes women to be angry at him... Good decision to stand clear of him, I think!

Well you know what you want...demand it...you may get it.

Damn. Hell of it is he's probably doing better than I am on POF down here in SC. Lol

I get people all the time contacting me who have how important their religion is on their profiles. I think that you are right about people just looking at the face and not reading the profile.

Often, essays reflect the problems of one's most recent relationship. He probably just dated a screamer. It's still not a good line to include.

I don't know how but we somehow got past the shouting and found that listening then became easier. We were able to bear each other for 52 years, partly because we both understood that communications is over rated in a relationship and that some things are best left unshouted. .

if you are so picky and focused on certain rules for others then delete your account everyone does things differently that is what makes the world go round as they use to say... everyone has their druthers but making those firm rules might cause you to miss someone fun and even if you decide not to meet could be amusing for chatting or friendship or just a fucking laugh and the idiot he is

Talk up please, ? I can't hear you !

Well, now you have me looking into your profile. ?? Heads up, don't bother looking into mine, you will be disappointed. I don't have anything offensive, I just don't have much at all.... I truly believe it doesn't matter what I write (I have tried), always the same... It's too good, too bad, too long, too short, too fishy, too this too that...meh, that's what it is know and I hope I did explained why

I am sure we could have been best friends.

If someone even hints at being religious on a dating site, it's instant DELETE and I move on.

Well give him points for honesty, and then slowly back out of the room.

Dating sites are the mousetrap we all run through...a mostly harmless waste of time.
Terrible people never advertise they are terrible and good people can't prove they are good people in a profile...then all the other stuff

Even if I see a guy has checked my profile....I won't answer if he is too young and/or lives far away. Is different if I am approached for friendly conversation or to debate an issue
