You can mail-order a bride that fits your specifications, but you can not know the chemistry that either "is" or "isn't" there between two people unless you bump into it. You can't advertise for it, screen for it, demand the brain is wired just to your specifications.

I am amazed at how varied people's writing abilities are. If I were to base my friendship with someone on how they are with punctuation and sentence structure, I would be missing out on real human beings who can teach me a lot.

What about the possibility someone who believes totally opposite of you can be someone YOU feel attracted to? Attraction is not a decision you make before you meet someone.

I do not, however, feel you were being 'too harsh' at all in what you wrote. You were merely showing the other person exactly what you are made of, and your brutal honesty was probably much more revealing than your profile.
