How much does board persona influence your decision to see or not see someone and why?
After an experience I had with a client who thought I was real type-A, was intimited by me because, well, I still don't know why, I thought I would ask.
Me- I am guilty of paranoia about first timers due to a bad experience years ago. I can be overly cautious. I won't respond to one liners, but have found in a few instances, the gentleman was serious about a date.
Sometimes if I think a guy might be a jerk or I read his post history and he is mean on the board, I won't see him.
Do we tend to overlook people that we think might challenge our own belief systems etc. etc. ? Do you ever wonder if sometimes people just have extremely tough defensive mechanisms?
