Why is it that so many here claim to be so accepting?

Not sure about here but possibly those who claim to be accepting possibly have difficulties interacting with others personally. Since this is a web, you're not interacting personally. I'm unsure of how to explain and somewhat sure I'm writing nonsense but I guess lack of courage? Also, most people nowadays don't really like friendly people for some reason. (Relationship). Seems like they want a more aggressive person. Well, that's how I see it in my area.

I agree with you completely on the part where people list all the things they just can't stand, but then say they are accepting or adventurous. As for me, I'm much more about personality... And these sort of people tend to lack what I seek? I TRY to be accepting and give some people a chance, but I kind of have to draw the line at certain things. Most of my ranting is just hints on what not to do, but instead of telling people straight up, "YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT! Do you have common sense?!?! Of course you're going to stay single!" or the more reasonable "You shouldn't really say things like that. If you want to meet someone, you need for them to feel comfortable with you. This is kind of creepy to most reasonable people who have never met you yet." I kind of am passive-agressive and just bitch about it. /: I'm not perfect. Also, I understand what mokujin is getting at. He's basically saying some people on here have problems socializing in real life, and that the internet makes them feel a little safer. You don't have to be face-to-face or hear their voice, just basically typing anything you please, really.

Can I just put it out there that just because people are accepting of others doesn't mean the others are as accepting of them

Meh, not one to talk much. I just have a kind heart and accept people for who they are. That's who i am, that's who i will always be. Nice sarcasm by the way.

I'm not 100% accepting but I like to give everybody a chance but as jikokun. Said I have my certain preference that I can certainly spot most of them within the first meet up
