truth be told if a woman does not want strings attached and enjoys short-term relationships and variety that is completely up to her the same as it is if that's what a man wants. and considering the fact that so many men only want that as well you would think they would be happy that women are being more open about that want as well! personally, in the long run I would be extremely happy to find a long-term partner, a best friend forever if you will. but I also want someone that truly enjoys sex, not someone that uses it to trap me and then stops having sex with me. another reason I'll never get married again. so I for one am looking for a long-term relationship, but I would choose to find that person in a friend with benefits.

It's a red flag!? Thoughts.
I am not looking for pen pals.
Chat a bit to find mutual cinnection. Then move to video chat.

what's the point of video chat? why are we going to sit here with our phones in our hands even longer? isn't the point of the site to find each other so we can meet? I don't get it? you live close enough to each other why would you still want to video chat wouldn't you just go get a drink or a coffee and staring each other's eyes in person?

well, I'm starting to think that maybe I should just throw in the towel and realize that no woman is going to be interested in me even though I'm funny intelligent, sensitive, thoughtful, because the bottom line is I don't have any money and I'm too fussy.

you cannot choose your favorite food without meeting it in person and spending quality time with it, much less a life partner! anyone who thinks otherwise.....

Good people are out there. I meet them in my office every day. One of the ways to set yourself up to be able to find those good people is to make peace with your past. We all bring our past baggage that has not been dealt with into every new relationship. What is your relationship like with your parents? Siblings, past partners. If either of those raise your anxieties, then work out this issues with a therapist. Humans tend to follow patterns based on their unprocessed issues in their past. To do something different, a person has to change themselves first. Work on anger issues, anxieties, fears, and communications skills focusing on conflict resolution to be ready for that good person.

all this wisdom looks wonderful typed in black and white. but the simple fact is these sites are not designed for you to find your soulmate or even a reasonable person to date. these sites are designed to milk the money from your wallet. but all of us really want a relationship and continue to pay. which I guess makes us all pretty stupid. southwest suburbs of chicago, female, older than 45 and not wanting children. also not wanting to get married.

I would never make that mistake again. I'm 60 years old, been divorced once. and never want to get married again because I never want to have to get divorced again. but I do want an answer to one thing if any women want to explain this. women will list in great detail the things that they demand in their relationship. but as soon as a man lists anything sexual or remotely sexual, or mentions something about sex that he wants in his relationship he's vilified. when in fact we are hardwired for that. why are we vilified for that when it's built into us at our core?
