Most are not here honestly for dating obviously so why are you here?

Most haven't even bothered to fill out their profile or put up even 1 photo.

So are you really here because you have nothing better to do than post a pretend life?

Are you here because it's a way to communicate with others while you pretend to want to date?

I live out in Death Valley National Park because of its beauty, I didn't think, at the time, about there not being any men my age when I chose to live here.

So internet dating seemed like a godsend to me.

But over the last decade most all I have found are phonies, people acting online one way but totally different in real life, & not in a good way.

They lied about the weight, height, age, job, living arrangements.

I just don't understand about all the lying. To me it seems that you'd want the person your meeting to be pleasantly surprised & not looking for a escape route.
That is for the few who do actually go out. I know most don't because they will be seen for the liar they are & not for who they pretended online to be.

I don't understand why anyone would want to spend their time all day pretending to be someone they're not unless their life is that meaningless because there is so much to do in real life.

It sucks for the serious people, most everyone I know give up on it after finding out 90% are just bored people living on the internet.
Even the paid sites, those who have the money join pay sites too pretending. I know as I'm on 3 of them too.

And the profiles that say "I'm just here for the forums", lol, if I had a good man I sure as heck wouldn't be living on the net.

Even if you don't reply to this post ask yourself... why am I here?





Why do you feel those who aren't here for dating are pretending? Why do you feel "just here for the forums" means the person is living on the net? Are your reasons for being here better/above others' reasons for being here?

1. Actually I had an extremely rare moment of boredom and signed up.
2. I thought what the hell.
3. I was just curious.
4. Not sure why.
5. Reading profiles is entertaining.

I am here because I enjoy the site for what it does offer me... not for what I might offer me.

i guess i'm here because, like the lady that started this topic, i don't have much of a chance meeting men because of my lifestyle (too many obligations that keep me from doing some things i would like to do), and i'm more than willing to accept that because my time is spent taking care of someone i love and needs me, but i would like to meet a very special man that would want the same things as i do... friends first, simple things, loyalty, affection (alot of it!!!), good morals and principles, God first and foremost in life... i truly think he's out there too ... maybe too optimistic, but i don't think so.

just got out of a almost 3-year relationship and we were to be married, but it just didn't work... so, yes, i'm hurting, but i need to move on, and i know god and time will heal me. i'm not looking for a rebound relationship... just that certain someone that's right for me...

I got lost on the internets and this is one of the few sites that let me stay.

Now I just light random fires on the internets and come here to hide from the spams.

I am here to increase my chances in meeting a guy who would be a good match..when one gets older, this task becomes much harder..
and this is a free site - why not to try it out :)

Well I live near Detroit and I don't see many active or real members here. Even if it is a free site.

This site is actually no different than Craigslist as the only ones that have contacted me in this short period of time were spammers and scammers.

If there is at least ONE real female on here that will check out my profile and write me back, then your night out on April 4th will be on me when I go see my good friends Fall Prey play in Riverview!

I really don't know at this point, feel like I'm wasting my time, women, younger ones especially, sometimes write, sometimes view, none are within reasonable reach, usually hundreds of miles away at least. Most women like me enough to chat at least, can't even get that here. I'm real, I'm honest, too old? I don't know. Yes, I'm a little picky, but I look at the other males out there and come on now. This site is well constructed, you get it all for free. Pay sites are out for your bucks, even after you cancel they will hold your profile out there as a lure. Zoosk is one, I got absolutely no results there, the site tries hooking me up with women that I'm not attracted to all the time. I'm not beautiful, but I'm not a fat slob at all. Suddenly all these Zoosk women are trying to contact me, meet me and I'm not going to pay to gell them no or yes or take any chance on a site that says it's free, and then it costs something to do anything. I do not like deceptive practices. The only thing this site does not do is contact your email when there is activity on your account, but then, I guess no one is interested in me anyway. Like I said, feel like I'm wasting my time here. Everyone have a good day.:smile:

Why am I here? Hmmm, tricky question. I don't really know myself. I've had a profile here for many years. I don't have much self-esteem, I don't go out much

Maybe it's to build my confidence, speak to people from all over the world- not just people in my town

Friends... I don't have many, if any at all. Partner... Hardly, maybe one day
Just enjoying life while I can live it
