What does "cis" mean? I've seen it elsewhere, and I can't figure it out.

You are so right msbelle. That's exactly what it means.

What does "cis" mean?

Computer Information Services.

It's when your body and your gender match, I believe -- assuming that isn't an offensive way of putting it.

any statement like that "real man", "not a jerk", "no games", "no drama" - it means this: There are these other people I dated that I didn't end up liking, or they broke my heart - don't be like them.

Exactly!! It also means the person is maybe not a terribly original thinker or a particularly good writer and that may be a reason to not respond to them. I know I wouldn't have.

I see a lot of requests from men that state that they "don't want any drama" and "no games."

I think that may mean straightforward and not doing things like: I want you to do X but I tell you not to do X because if you really care about me you'll do X anyhow. If you don't do X I'm going to be really pissed at you, but not tell you why.

I think they(we) are happy with the gender we were born into, so I am a ciswoman.(Smile when you say that, stranger.) I think.

I am sure it is not what they mean, but like my life would be WAY too much drama for a lot of people who would say something like that. It's real life and it's messy.

Lots of people wouldn't consider starting to date someone who:

has a child
is going through a divorce
has an ill parent
has a needy sibling/cousin/friend
is in recovery

it's like Robin said about looking at the list before the person.

Hmmm.... I'm not all that cis. I think I'm pretty androgynous. I mean, when I sense someone expects me to play the "male" role it really rubs me the wrong way.
