Power - attraction
I will not discuss political views.

Like 15 minutes. I've got to assess whether they're doing something with their life if they are 24/25 or older.

starting off with religion or politics is a great way to start off on the wrong foot and assure yourself some late night masturbation instead of coitus

Men with drive and passion for what they do tend to be better potential providers. Is that what you want me to say? Who doesn't know that?

Not to me. I don't really care what his views are over all. We don't have to agree on everything we just have to accept that we might have different views and agree on the things that effect us both or be willing to compromise.

As is letting her know on the first date that she's not allowed to see anyone else.

I thought it was common sense as well, glass. No one wants a lazy frick.

I think it's best to take an average. But, if one is drastically different, I'm probably going to wonder why

Older than you and probably older than Kafka. And I do have a really great boyfriend.

I can see your perspective, and if that's something you have strong feelings towards, then more power to you. I feel like a lot of people will be turned off by that right away. Those are topics I'd rather have in later dates.

This is probably why I suck at dating. Most other topics are boring. Like very boring.

I just find it rather shallow and un-welcoming.
You know what they say when you are getting interview tips for jobs.
Dont:
ask how much the job pays
how much time you get off
how much in benefits you will receive
why do they give these tips to people? What does a prospective employer think if these are the first questions that come out of a prospective hire's mouth?

That you have no interest in the job or the company and are just in it for a paycheck and you'll jump ship as soon as something better comes along. If they think this, they aren't going to waste time and energy training you for their competition.

This is pure opinion, but I'll say it's because in general, it reflects the personality and work ethic of the masses of that type. You know, that guy that goes in and reads the paper for an hour on the job to start the day. The guy that looks at his clock for 30 minutes at the end of his shift ready to bolt to beat traffic. The guy that will try to do as little as possible without getting fired. Obviously this is stereotyping, but you get my drift.

I expected that statement from you.
As I said, it shows that I am interested in something that is obviously important to him. It wouldn't matter what he did for a living, I've already made up my mind if I like him or not even before I've asked that question.
