well let's just add the prefix: "In..." to complete your thoughts.......

I guess it is a wrong presumption to think:
1. the views expressed are based on observations on this site;
2. that views can only be expressed after observation and/or personal experience.
Both of these are logical fallacies - I'm sorry - wrong premise, hence wrong conclusion. But it's true.

Most of the folks seeking love on this site and others are educated, well informed individuals whose contributions on message boards help invigorate and stimulate analytical idea exchanges.

Oh Hi, thanks for the welcome.
What an intelligent perspective you introduce to the topic.
I totally concur that there are the confused, the ignorant, and the hesitant when it comes to online dating. No doubt about that!!

However, I have encountered people who play the "online dating game" and are very well versed in the gimmickry (or so they think).

My candid perception of a dating site is that it's like IHOP (the restaurant - get in, place order, get served, eat, pay the cost, get out) - you get in with a clearly defined objective as you indicated; diligently set goals regarding hooking up with Mr/Ms Right; commit to the agenda without wasting anyone's time; make it happen and move on. Finding love should never be a lifetime project. Building and nurturing the love is the real project - because love is a process (a marathon as opposed to a sprint).
What do you think?

It's not fun to walk alone for any period in one's life.
I don't drink, don't smoke, never went to a club - always gone to Church, but church folks relate by cliches.
My best friend is my laptop (poor thing). Yea I acknowledge I just returned back to The Woodlands/Conroe area after about 1yr in Florida.
I need a lady friend in this area who would like to hang out sometimes - movies, walking the trails, reading at the library or heading out to the beach at Galveston to explore life a little.

I need someone to help me unravel and unfurl from this life of docility - not a wild one though.

Here we go:
A-Rating = Amorous, come get me please!
B-Rating = Be Mine
C-Rating = Cuddle with me
D-Rating = Date me please
E-Rating = Enlisted for love
F-Rating = Foget-me-not please

Now ladies, go ahead and rate me please!!

I just figured that there is such a thing as "Perpetual Dating Syndrome" (PDS) A.K.A. "Evergreen Dating Malady" (E.D.M.). My prognosis is that sufferers have this irresistible compulsion to surf the net for potential "dates" and are satiated by the attention they receive through chatting and interacting with numerous unknown folks who they may never meet in real life.
Victims of PDS/EDM are frequent on multiple dating sites and do not really make concerted efforts to get hooked by anyone in particular. They "shop" and "browse" dates just for the thrill of it. They "rent" and reside on dating sites world without end.

Anyone "feel" me?

good luck to you too!!

most likely !! hahahaa

corrections are welcome - absolutely! It shows you are detail-oriented and will be an awesome life partner. Thank you and nice meeting you.

Thank you

Which "love" are you guys talking about?
Eros? - sexual love
Philos? - friendship
Agape? - Unconditional love

Buying and selling sexual love is a misnomer.

Freely you have receive; freely give - ONLY TO THE ONE YOU'VE COMMITTED TO....

Just to say hi to all my potential lady friends.
If you are godly, family-oriented, well manered, educated, ambitious and passionate about making a positive mark on planet earth, you are my girl. Check me out!

Opposites attract - so its only natural to be drawn to that which looks different from us. Absent "Jim Crowe" America could 'ave been a greater nation via the indomitable blessing of interracial marriages. I am always fascinated by sights of a black & white couple - just as I'm inclined to perpetuating it by my own choice of a potential spouse. Personal experiences has taught me that, in general, white girls are more family/relationship oriented and success-minded compared to most black girls.
