Why do some think dating sites are for those who can't get dates elsewhere? I've just arrived on planet mingle and already....in my emails and in the new members introduction post I made....men are implying I shouldn't be here because I'm pretty (okay...I appreciate the complements...).

I see plenty of other good looking people so others must feel as I do.....a dating site is just another avenue for finding someone...it's not necessarily better or worse.

For those who asked ...........

My reasoning for trying this place out is I thought I could converse with a gentleman for weeks....and really get to know him some before I went on a date with him. This is a luxury I don't have in real life. I don't work around men so when I do meet a guy it's in a club or bookstore and they don't want to chat for weeks before a date. I'm tired of going on first and second dates with men just to find out if we have anything in common. I'm not the spring filly I once was and constantly auditioning different men gets tiring.

it's better than hang out at a bar some where !
and i enjoy the people here ....

I've gotten the same crappy doodle lines, too. And, I'm not as cute as you!!

And then there are the ones who all they have to say is "you're so beautiful". Okay, and then what? It's all in the eye of the beholder, anyway, so .... where's the beef?

just love this place I don't need it to get a date but i've talked with some wonderful people I hope to meet one day

just be real


and you will do fine here

eh, i doubt i'll find someone on this site, or any other, but i enjoy the forums on this site

damn it, now i want a whopper ...

could just be an opening line...
marriage proposal coming soon

Best of luck to everyone

There's a lot of good looking people on this site.

I don't hang out at bars. This is a better option for me.

I think your reasoning for being on a dating site is a good one. Meeting someone off the internet first IS a good way to get to know someone before starting dating & can save time in finding the right person.

I recently met someone off another site, and it was great when we finally did meet since we already knew a lot about each other & knew we were both what we were looking for. This was after a week of emails & phone calls. So far, it's been great!

Nothing wrong with trying the internet IMHO

THE PROBLEM IVE RAN INTO IS THAT THE LADIES IVE FOUND INTERESTING OR ATTRACTIVE TO ME ALL LIVE 1000+ MILES AWAY

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR QUEST

The reason I came here is I'm too much of a sissy to approach a woman. It's much easier to take rejection in text form for me. I have no idea why. I also live in an area where I have to drive 30-45min to find a social gathering. Here I can sit at home with coffee, browse some forums and listen to music that I LIKE.

-Off Topic- You are beautiful.

I agree a dating site, in theory, is a convienant way of meeting someone. The problem is, people often misrepresent themselves online.

Why invest countless hours talking to someone online, only to meet and they either:

a) don't look like their pictures
b) find out there is no chemistry
c) find out that they lie about who they are and what they are all about

Being 30, I wouldn't think you'd want to piss away your time talking online, when you can simply meet and see what the chemistry is like and go from there.

marry me ....

The words are very erotic for me

Are you serious to believe every nice word? If I believed every sweet word, you couldn't get my head through the door. Come down to earth. Superficiality, not pretty.

Sooo....why are you here?

Double Post

This place is just like anything else.....

you have to sift tru some trash to find a prize....

but truth is, most of the folks here are good people and a lot of fun to get to know!!!

Good luck an stick to your plan....sounds like a good one!!
