I suppose dating sites have just as many upsides as downsides.. I am having a horrible time finding anyone.. Most guys are only into skinny or smaller girls... I may have valuptuous hips, and be a bit bigger.. But I have also been working on it as opposed to being lazy or careless. I know right now most guys would just pass me up, and its sad... I don't get it.. Beauty is not only thin deep.
Deep breath.

Get involved in the forums/games and show your personality. This is where you will meet people. Remember this is not a chat room. You post your responses and post after somebody

I hope you get flooded with emails, but in case that doesn't happen I would say join in the forums and see who might be looking for someone just like you.

Some people on mingle become more attractive by the post.

Hi Wonderer. I took a peak at your profile if you don't mind and it looks great. I do agree that beauty is supposed to be skin deep but I found that out too that men wanted very thin and smaller girls. Not to be harsh but also you being a single mom might be the reason for not finding someone. I see lots of single parents posting here saying they are having difficulty finding someone, so you are not alone. As the previous two posters said, get on the forums here and I have no doubt you will meet some decent folk that don't care if you are a single mom, or care about you size. Welcome to the forums.

Agreed!

Theres not a dang thing wrong with you! Not in looks or anything else! Just give it time! You're beautiful! He will find you!

I agree with what others have said, join in the forums and get to know people, you have a better chance of finding someone who wants to date YOU, not just a photo and a few lines of text.

Also, speaking of photos, all of your pics are very nice, except the last one. It's not very flattering, you are an attractive woman, I'd get a full body shot that has better lighting. Perhaps have someone take it for you.

Good luck.

I agree too :) and the men that pass you by now will regret it in the end so either way you rock

1. There is nothing wrong with wonderer17's outward appearance.

2. Women judge men according to looks, too.

I judge you for making kitten sandwiches.

I defend planet Earth by eating evil one sandwich at a time, and you complain?

Well; you are kind of furry looking.

Thank you everyone who posted a reply! I will be getting involved in the discussion forums from now on. On the topic of my pictures... I do not know who posted the comment on my pictures being nice, but the last one being not so flattering as I remember it being said. I am showing myself... the picture is not airbrushed or in any way distorted... it is your opinion and you have a right to it if you do not like it, to add I dont often take pictures of myself if at all.
I like to write so this should be a fun way to use my creative writing skills and to hopefully meet a fine chap. Either way having good conversation is always welcome.

You are very pretty. Not all men are shallow. Hang in there and join us in the forums while you wait for Mr. Right.

To wander17:
You look very attractive. Boys will pass you by because they are not mature enough to know a real woman when they see it. The tight one will come along, and be worth the wait...

so, posts and replies to other posts however many I have posted thus far.....I have gotten nothing. Not flooded with emails mg1959.
perhaps I am giving up too soon, but it is very bewildering... it is by no means and end all drama queen.. but it is not getting my hopes up...
perhaps I am looking in the wrong place.
