A friend of mine is a teacher and her school district moved her from 5 days to 4 days so they wouldn't have to pay her insurance. now she has to pay for her own insurance and she makes less money...

How is the US bullying? By not helping enough?

Its possible, they say there is someone for everyone. I'd recommend adding more too your profile so women will have a reason to write you and something to say if they do. GL out there

If you've been alive almost 40 years and haven't met someone you can love its a little unrealistic to be upset about not meeting someone in 6 months online. Patients grasshopper, greatness is worth waiting for.

Most of them are probably scams. But also, asian women like Filipinos often sit in cyber cafe's and look at who the people around them are talking with and then contact them, especially if they think your American. Its all about the lifestyle they want to lead and the money they think you have. My father tells me about young asian women trying to manipulate him online constantly, he tells them he's poor and they stop talking with him lol.

I try to avoid them, if its worth being together then be together. Long distance seems more like 2 people unwilling to compromise lol, there are usually other options...

Your still young... you can't expect to meet someone as soon as your ready, it happens in its own time. I know how tough it is to meet a decent women who isn't just trying to use you, there aren't many out there. Patients grasshopper, you could still get lucky.

I haven't noticed that, nor do I use it for that purpose

Welcome to Mingle, it may be better if you don't expect anything lol. Gl meeting people and making new friends.

The good part is, if your willing to sift through all the pervs, fakes, gold diggers, liars, scammers, princesses, and bitter or rude people, you could make a friend.

The bad part is you have to sift through all the pervs, fakes, gold diggers, liars, scammers, princesses, and bitter or rude people just for the chance that you could make a friend

Yes, its also necessary for them to look a certain way, smell a certain way, be a certain height, race and be in a particular tax bracket. They only look for conditional relationships, who you are is the least of their concerns...

People do, even I've made friends from these kinds of sites. But in my experiences a lot of women on this site are just looking for a warm body to lie next to them to stave off their loneliness and make them happy. GL out there, I hope you find what your looking for.

Hi Jenny,
Your profile is nice, you could always add a little more about you but what you wrote is also nice. I'd recommend listing some interests, I'm always interested to see what I have in common with someone. GL

That's true I don't know the whole story. But your story is only one side of the story, he probably has a different opinion about what happened. Would you be ok with a guy who didn't like you warning other men to stay away from you and trying to get you booted because he felt you wronged him? Would it not be easier to forget about him and move on with your life instead of spending so much time and energy trying to think of ways to hurt him? I can understand venting too your friends and warning them about him. But you think your opinion of him should be every women's opinion of him?

Lol, I don't think the site moderator is gonna boot someone because you don't like their personality. Seems more like spite, trying to get back at him for hurting you. Its just what I'd expect though...

Crying doesn't accomplish anything. Why not think of ways to improve your situation and mood instead of wallowing in heartbreak?

I've done it a few times, it can work but you both need to have a lot of trust in eachother.

I don't think you can find love by looking for it. So I'm just meeting people and seeing what happens...

Its about exposure. If you haven't found anyone you can love out of all the people within your location, it makes sense to meet new people and expand. While I agree that dating sites are more like shopping then meeting people in most cases. Your still getting yourself out there and meeting more people then you would've if you just continued with your normal routine. I met one of my best friends through the internet.
