ok, I have been doing the online dating thing for a long time, and i would like to finally get it right... I am looking for the one...not casual sex... I keep getting a lot of responses from young kids...20somethings that are looking for sex...Or, even worse, the ones that lie to me and tell me they want something serious and then end up being cheaters and liers... How can i appeal to men that are mature and looking for a long-term relationship? Is it something in the way i present myself? Is it because I am so open and honest that they know how to convince me? Please take a look at my profile on here and also my profile on singlesnet.com under the same username...what do you think?

I think men will be men.

I don't belong to singles.net so I won't go there. But this profile on here is very good and to the point, well written and thought out.
I can understand your dismay. We all get hit on by the wrong ones along with some right ones. It's not so much about you if you are as you write, but them. There are many people who take advantage of nice, good people simply because it's their nature and THEY CAN!! Don't let that stop you from being yourself.

Best wishes!!

I saw only your profile here, which was GREAT. Change nothing.

Perservere, some of us have been doing this (myself included)..... well, for awhile. Look at my join date, and I didn't start here.

Men don't actually read your profile anyway You just havin to keep tryin

I have learned that you have to get to the point, in what you are looking for, some people may take it for being something else it's people like that are only after one thing. Just say what you feel and be yourself there are peeople on here that really know what you are looking for and Im sure they know what is in your heart. I myself don't judge people I go by the feeling that I know is deep with in there heart.

2.9% of us do though Jill! Give us some credit.

OOhh... sorry my bad

So true! They go from profile to profile looking at pics and send the same cheesy lines lol

better to meet men and women in the forums. that way at least you have an idea of the type of person they are based on their posts

No, Robin, I jist got fooled by that last year.

the bastard!!

(oh, I think I know who you mean haha)

Not all women read profiles either. But I would say the pecentage that do is just, slightly higher than the male percentile.

I think you have a great profile, its the guys with the issues. But I understand what you are saying. Half of them email me and then find out I have a boyfriend, LOL. Anyways, good luck and it will happen.

You're so right. Had I read any profiles, I would've known that Jill moved to Morris from the Quad Cities. She likes to travel, listen to music, see concerts, watch movies, and likes sports. She has a daughter, but she has never married. She's 5' 7" tall, is employed as a hotel manager, smokes, and occasionally tips an elbow with an adult beverage.

I also would've known that you had been saved by Jesus, are a faithful church-goer, and you love kids, especially since you have 4 of your own (3 boys and 1 girl). You work as a church daycare teacher, you enjoy watching and supporting the Houston Astros, you like horses, bowling, fishing, and camping. You are still very accepting of people (although your bitterness tends to overshadow it, particularly towards men), despite the fact that you've suffered through 4 failed marriages. You are 5' 6" tall, you do not smoke or drink.

I would've known all this, if only I had taken the time to read profiles.

anyone can read a profile when we're trying to prove people aren't doing it You would also see in my profile that I'm only looking for friends. However, I get emails ALL the time asking for more than that. Pisses me off

you might have found out, she likes driving and working on fast cars, heavy music (plus many other types of music), sex in public places and aggressive men too.

I was paraphrasing to save space.

I was joking for my enjoyment, LMAO!!

and left out the most important part
