meet people on here is ok, but actually meeting somone that is willing to work for a relationship and keeping things real with themselves and what they do or want in life is another story. Now mind you, they'er are a couple women on this form that if i was interested in. I think things might be different, but the fact is. I'm not. So that leaves to dealing with women that don't use the forum and that alone is almost a wast of my time...


Exactly, because how can you even really get to know anything about someone who doesn't use the forums?

I mean, the typical dating site profile is worthless -- it contains less information than the ingredients list on a bag of salted peanuts, and with worse spelling and punctuation.

Outside of someone making forum posts -- and I'm talking LOTS of forum posts -- it's almost impossible to really get any idea of who someone really is here....

There used to be a few locals here who I thought I could possibly be interested in -- but they never posted in the forum, and they don't respond to e-mails. I'm not about to get into another pretend-3200-miles-away LDR again. So what are the options on a site where no one nearby is serious about actually talking to someone?







I have to agree,

I know i'm not good at spelling and punctuation, but what i have is an idea on life of who i am and where i'm going with it. I can't count how many times i have tried to have a conversation with somone and the funny thing is. On they'er profile they say how they are good at it etc etc. So ill start up one and after a bit, i realize i'm wasting my time on some that put it out to be that they make the effert, but they don't and to tell everyone the truth. I tell them if your not what you say you are on your profile. You need to change it. lying to yourself is the worst thing you can do....

As far as relationships, what keeps me going is knowing that if I can't find the right life partner for me, I can find the right night partner every now & then, to keep me going....


I have given up. I'm just here typing to myself since I havn't got anyone to talk to.


I haven't given up. I just stopped looking. I been on here for two years, i met a couple women on here and one that i did get into a relationship with. What i know as a few do, even if you meet somone face to face. Unless you actually spend time with them and even then too. your not going to know somone what so ever. So i told myself, why look and put the effert in as much as i used to when more then half of the women on this site wont put any effert at all....

my 3 daughters and watching them grow into beautiful young ladies with hopes and dreams. Watching the obtain everything they reach for. Helping them obtain their higest level of morals standards, and knowing they are the furture. And hoping I might meet someone who can appreciate a man like me and lasting love.
NEVER SAY I QUIT

Having hope in life that some day you might find somone?

All opinion are welcome, but i want to hear from people that been on this site and maybe others for a long time that haven't met that one or somone close to what they'er looking for.

Other then seeing others that have. What is the one thing that gives you hope?


Being okay alone... Not really looking for SERIOUS... Knowing that Murphy's Law will probably strike when I lease expect it and blow the first two things outta the water.

I don't know about the 50 years down the linelaugh but what i do know is, some women on here that i have talked to were honest with themselves and didn't play the so call game the so call real world they live in. They would realize they let go a good thing...
