Well since you gave me permission, I will dammit!

I'm pretty optimistic. I'd assume they were a scammer or were a total loser for not finding someone who speaks their own language or in the same country.

Listen to Charles Manson up there.

Welcome and join the forums.

Which is fine. I'm just speaking in general from what I have observed. I don't pay a lot of attention to what women are looking for on dating sites nor am I trying to pigeon hole people into one group and saying everyone is the same. I did say MOST from MY experience on what I read on dating forums.

My point is that all comes down to MOST people are way pickier than they need to be and shouldn't be shocked when what they think they deserve doesn't pan out and they end up "the old man in the club."

Actually, it's 42 if you follow the philosophy of Douglas Adams.

The ultimate answer to the ultimate question is always 6. Controversial? You bet!

I'm talking from just reading the forums on various sites. Plenty of times, I see a guy 50 something and his age range is 21 to 39. How does he know a 42 or 49 or 55 yo wouldn't be compatible with him. He sees women his own age as old. He won't even think of dating a woman his own age cause he THINKS he looks "10 years younger", but in reality he looks 10 years older. He thinks he 'deserves" someone 20 years younger than he is. But he will still hold onto thinking that is what he deserves and he will wonder why he is still single. Then he will come onto the forums and complain why nobody is writing him back...I mean he sends out 100s of emails, why isn't anyone writing him back? I guess the 21 year olds are not seeing him as what they "deserve". When MOST people deal with reality, that is when they will find happiness and probably find a compatible mate.

Then there is the slob taking pictures in his dirty bathroom mirror or outside with his car on cinderblocks looking for super models.

It is MY experience that people will grade themselves better than they actually are. Reality is a harsh mistress that takes no prisoners and is a hard pill to swallow for most.

I'd be Oprah Winfrey's dog.

Biggest problem is people in general are too picky and they think they deserve more than they are willing to give. In this day and age, people want instant gratification and not willing to work for anything. People jump into things too quickly and feel they need another person to validate them. People will find fault with everything and anything and also blame whatever their ex did to them on the whole gender.

I'm not currently looking to date and I know I put that vibe out. But when I do date, I don't have a problem finding dates.

Nothing is wrong with the opposite sex, it's individuals that use excuses as to why they can't get a date. They blame their height, weight, race, economics, etc etc etc. When in reality, it is none of those things. Anyone can get a date, they just have to leave the baggage and whining insecurities at the door.

FFS! This topic makes me stabby. Actually it is my belief if you are unemployed, the last thing you need to do is think about dating. You see the time it takes to make a post on a dating site, you could be looking for a job. Then they will go on a forum and post about how nobody wants to date them or give them a chance. If you are so horny, go use your hand. Get your priorities straight. I won't even get started on people having children that have no money.

It is my experience that those that worry about gold diggers have the least amount of gold to dig. Nobody is gonna steal your pin number for that $20 in your checking account. Keep it and use it for bus fare to go on job interviews.

LOL You're hilarious.

Wow. Okay then. Good luck.

Welcome Kevin.

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Jimmy talked about himself in the third person.


Xeno says hi. Xeno says stay awhile. Xeno says good luck.

It's been out for a while now. If you search the internet, you can probably find it.

LOL really? I guess you didn't see that site I posted??? It's not pretty.

Actually, I feel the same way. I find it rather insulting and to me it's not a compliment in any sense of the word. I find it degrading and lord help the person that calls me one to my face. I have my theories why some think it's a compliment but I won't go there.

That would be a manther.

Having looked at the profiles of those that answered so far, it seems 2/3 are very specific and specialized occupations.

OP, don't take everything you read on a dating site as gospel.

LOL well maybe he is hoping he doesn't blow the intimate part. Find love for the night is tough.
