Topic: How many of you think your going to actuall... | |

It is a form of socialization. (limited it may be) yet, fulfills a basic need of interaction with others. It can and does happen that occasionally people from this kind of site actually to put the time and resources into meeting one another....doesn't happen everyday...granted. However, occasionally it does, indeed, happen. I would rather take the chance of meeting a cool woman here and come away with nothing....than to not talk to people on here and come away with less than nothing. Let's face it. Even if you are talking to someone that you are not compatible with...you still learn. That is a good thing. What is truly crazy is meeting someone that you just get that crazy good vibe from....got a taste of that tonight....and I liked it! |

i think it has a lot to do with the people too...their demeanor, liveliness, charisma, whatever. i just had a very nice girl come from GA to visit me for 4 days. it was wonderful and no we didn't have sex. i was a perfect gentleman
we're still talking and planning another visit. |

Hmm.... Shadow, I don't really think it's a case of finding someone that you can be " compatible " with. It's finding someone that you can be compatible with, AND close enough to actually be able to go out on a date with. I have talked to a few women here who I feel I would be compatible with, but distance is a killer for me because of a couple of factors that rule out any travel right now. I am one of those who has been here for going on a year now, and I have never been out with someone. Mainly because I have yet to find anyone local ( for me that is within a 3 hour drive ) that has responded to an email or shown any kind of interest. The secondary reason is that I simply didn't come here " looking " for anyone. This place, for me, was like a few others. I just put a profile up for the hell of it. If someone wound up being interested, cool. If not, no big deal. Before I finally started posting on the forums, my profile just sat there and got practically zero looks, and that was completely fine with me. Recently, the activity has picked up and that's cool too. I am not actively seeking anyone out. If someone ' clicks ' with me, fantastic. I'll do everything I can ( which is pretty limited right at the moment ) to meet up with that person at some point. If ireally look at it, it's actually meeting somone you would be happy with. people talk about not settling for less. I understnd that. you don't want to end up going through the same thing again, but if you rely on that kinda thinking to much. it's going to limit who you will meet. I rather be happy then have what my mind used to think i wanted. |

I rather be happy then have what my mind used to think i wanted. Well..I DO know that there are some real red flags for me, but I am not one to limit myself to looking for that " perfect " woman. I have discussed with a couple of friends my reasoning for thinking that she simply doesn't exist. I don't really care if she is " perfect " for me. As long as she can put up with my oddities, and be happy doing it, allow me to be myself just as much as I will let her be HERSELF, then that is very much enough for me. |

Well you are right about being on here too much but if you are an insomniac it beats tossing and turning and I am retired so if I decide to veg on here I earned it.
I do think we need to get some local action going so people who are not clear the other side of the world could at least get together for fun sometimes. Like a quartly round up? Heck if every body only bought one side kick think of the possiblities to Mingle? |

I use to come on with a little hope. But now I am here for the laughs, friends, the sharing and even the caring. I mean I have found such an amazing support system right here it is unbelievable. This is truly a great bunch of people. Yea, I may never meet nor talk to them, but that does not matter. You do not always need that to know there is somebody out there that cares.
And besides, where in the real world are you you going to find, mattress humpers, "nice guys", llamas, duct tape, the scammers that we oh so enjoy making fun of, the love of so many in times of need. Where else are you going to find,Just a Guy's picture of the tortured teddy (I love that pic)Fades Happy Place, Tiger and Fallen's Coffee House or Bad_Girl's Coffee shop, and the cozy Cheers like atmosphere little pubs over there in the Coffee House section. Where else are you going to find that all in one place? This truly is a community. There is so much love that flows in these pages it is unreal. For some people this is not just a dating site. This is where they feel comfortable. It is easier to be yourself when you are not face to face. Just my opinion though, for what it's worth. |

Maybe it's the hope of living and loving completely that makes me keep trying ~ even if it's online dating!
It could be the amusing, annoying, and astonishing forums covering topics that don't come up in my daily & professional life that bring me back! And sometimes it's like a car wreck....you just can't turn away! Whatever the case, a little over a year ago I decide to give this a try just to get me "back out there." I've deactivated several times, in between dating spurts and the demands of life, but find this an interesting venue to meet people I might not meet otherwise, date guys outside my "traditional" social circle, and allow myself to experience the unexpected! Like most, life keeps me pretty busy, but I do enjoy visiting the site to see what people are up to. Is it a replacement for my real life? No, but it beats cable! Am I hoping to find something more, something deeper, something that means...something? Well, I think my username answers that question! |

S1ow -- that's the whole idea! -- it's my version of "reverse psychology" -- I figure all I need to do is trap the ONE person on here who really gets it....! |
