A lot of woman have been abused whether physically or emotionally not by just one but many men. It is a typical cycle of abuse, like a dog chasing its tail.

After this happens for a while a woman's self esteem is eroded down to nothing so when they meet a nice guy some think he is to good, something is wrong and they just can't identify with a nice guy like they can a guy who is not. They tend to identify love with the abuse and then the abuse becomes love to them. Personally I think a good woman helps a guy be a better man as long as he sees what he has in front of him and does not think the grass is greener on the other side because its not, it's just grass. A couple makes the grass whatever color they want.

I have seen a big push back from woman though in the last 5-8 yrs to where they don't want to get serious anymore and just want sex too. They start playing the same games guys have played for years. Like a role reversal. On another date site named POF, when it was open to the USA, they closed for the USA I was getting dates left and right. I actually had 4 dates in one weeks time.

Personally since I have kids I am more reluctant not to date a woman who does not have kids, they just don't get the responsibility, love, time, dedication, money etc... or they are chasing a fantasy which is a whole other topic.

This is my theory and experience but of course it is subjective.

This site seems to be full of fake accounts. Just about all woman's profiles with only one pic and I will tell you later in profile is all fake accounts so beware. I do think these date sites create a false since of reality too. As one user on here said, another man is just a click away, whom is probably a fake account from Ghana, they talk a good game and they follow the yellow brick road, but this causes what I call Dating ADD. Take it for what it's worth.

Well from my experience profiles with only one pic is usually a scammer from Nigeria or who knows where. They never completely fill out the profile forms and never take time to upload more than one pic. So beware and smart, Cheers
