I’ve had to hide my online dating service profile because I received too many emails to read and reply to in a week let-alone an evening. Though, it is difficult to take people from across the mountains (Florida?!!), or old enough to be my dad, seriously.
I can’t handle anymore without employing a part time assistant to filter them on my behalf. Instead, I’ve hidden my profile and will write polite replies to those who took the trouble to write. Yes, this time I whipped-out my credit card and paid a subscription for the privilege of being able to reply…..

Getting a picture of my beautiful-self accepted for an internet dating profile main photograph?
Nightmare.
Being a pro-active gal that luuuurrrrves happily being with a gorgeous boy-man, I put a ‘profile’ on a dating site. Each of approximately 7 photographs I submitted were subject to quality control decisions. Each time, censors’ decision was:
Rejected.
Naturally, wanting to appeal to the specific dating market of rightist hand-o-philes, I tried a photograph of my right hand. Quality censors decision:
Rejected.
I sent the photograph of me at 15 and plastered the ‘date-taken’ in large clear letters under the face. Quality censors decision? They removed the date and:
Published!
Hmmmm… …the service is apparantly prepared to be complicit in publishing misleading photographs (by age) but is not prepared to cater to diverse (minority fetish) groups such as right-hand-o-philes. Now I may never find one. My only consolation is that I have on several occassions been approached by foot-fetishist. Evidently I have ‘adorable arches’. Maybe I’ll try a photograph of this asset next. Faces are the censors (majority) preference. But. Excluding other significant body parts is blatant, prejudicial, discrimination.
Shocking!
