I think sometimes it's just easier being single:smile:


Yeah, you're probably right about that...but it sure isn't as much as fun.


Yea it is.

Ya know, I was thinking about this. Being single goes against everything I want, everything I hope for my life, so in reality, it takes a lot effort to make being single work for me.

...jerks, liars, cheats, headcases, gold-diggers, players, and on and on....but that's all we hear about. I know from posting/reading in the forums there ARE good folks around, why can't we find one another? Are we too picky or too set in our ways to look beyond the familiar? Have your dating experiences made you overly cautious to the point that you are unwilling to take a chance anymore? I don't get it, really. With the number of folks on this site alone, there should be a lot fewer folks single and miserable in this world. ohwell

I have been thinking about this since you posted it and there are so many great points in it. I have no answers just a lot of food for thought. I so agree with you there are so many great people out here.

I think, maybe they should stop relying on just a website to find somebody. They should go out into public sometimes and mix it up. Get some sun and have some fun.




You hit the nail on the headdrinker


I think also that it's hard to make a match with someone when they are so far away. For me, I like the personal touch if that makes sense. I want to be able to spend time with someone, go out, watch tv, things like that. You can't do that when they are so far away.

Yeah keeping it simple is the way to go. It makes for good pillow talk.

Yep, a lot of folks feel the same way, but one of the greatest love stories here have made a VERY long distance thing work for quite some time, so it is not impossible. flowerforyou

You have a point, but if you think about the number of people on this site alone, there should be more people hooking up than there are.. I just can't figure why there isn't.


Not everyone appears online as they are in real life! So with that said, I take longer to see if someone is actually interested and if they are who they represent themselves to be!

Alot of guys flirting on the threads, but none emailing me! ohwell
you want to braid my hair ?bigsmile

Well I thought about this somemore last night and I think I have a few things that lead people into giving up and just hanging out.

1. The first thing people see when they join a dating site is the profile. I know that it was daunting to me, I don't have the best writing skills, nor am I grammarly perfect. So my first profile was a mess. That turned alot of people off. I do think some of the greatest people I have met had some pretty crappy profiles.

2. Next we are asked what are we are asked what are we seeking in a partner. Heck alot of us may not have that grocery list of the do's, I know I have a small list of do's and don'ts' but I would have a hard time articulating that to someone.

3. We meet so many people out here that are so jaded that they can't see the good people right in front of them. Like someone said this am on another thread. On the internet dating world you are guilty til proven innocent. That really rankles me, since that is a concept I can't wrap around. But if the majority feels this way isn't that like shooting yourself in the foot before the race.

4.Then the distance thing comes into play. I honestly believe alot of people won't take the chance and move across the country for a person. I know when I came out on the sites I had already thought this through I live on a small island in Ak chances are that most men aren't going to find employment here. I can do the relocating since I can find work pretty much anywhere. That is something people do alot Heck I have seen where some people won't even date someone that is over 2 hours away. I scratch my head at that one.

4. I think alot of people haven't worked on themselves yet, hence you get the negativity out on some sites,

5. On the internet I am and always will be amazed at the in a hurry concept out here. I have always said that I will be friends before I ever enter into a relationship. Yet on the internet if you talk to someone in emails for a month you are in this unspoken relationship. Heck I talked with someone a total of 11 emails on a different site when I decided that a fist meet wasn't going to happen he hated me because I played him. I didn't play him, I was getting to know him. I am not saying everyone is like this but so many are that is throws a damper in the fire for me. Makes me even more cautious.


Sorry for the long post but these are some of the things I have come up with.
