Someone told me in a blog response, I should perhaps "widen the playing field" in my search for a honey - I've been pondering this all day, and I'll tell you what Ive decided...
"But first a word from our sponsor"...
I went to work this morning in a rush...it wasn't until I was 50 feet above the ground that it came to me....
I think women take me for being a player - and if I were one i'd be a good one. But I'm not.
I try to entertain the women I contact, and I always say something meaningful.
Perhaps if I have contacted anyone reading this, you know I loved your photo.
I won't read up on a girl until we're talking, because otherwise it's unnecessary information in my brain.
There are a good many of you that have received cute or funny openings
from me that have completely ignored me. It's rude, and rude women are the worst. But I don't think they mean to be- that not answering is a learned behavior because all of us with parents were chided to speak when spoken to.
Just so those that ignore don't misconstrue. This community is safe haven
for you to GET TO KNOW PEOPLE. sorry people, you cant get to know somebody on one single dimension and judge your feelings by it. But you can
just freely communicate with others about life as well as love, and me just as well as you.
Could you imagine there was a fatal flaw in your profile that chased people away, yet you were totally unaware of it? And can you understand how much we can love each other by just telling other how we feel instead of just ignoring/not responding? Being human? Where was I?

So yeah, broaden your scope- I have decided that I am open to women between the ages of young 29 and 65 mature. I will accept IMs from
skinny women, chubby women, soft women, tough women, ugly women
beautiful women, broken woman, superwoman. The point is-
See me Feel me Touch me... Heal me..

I wish you luck!

Although I personally feel that there are more people on here for ego validation/compensation than there are those who actually have any desire at all to get to know someone, on any level beyond words on a screen.

I've been here 2 1/2 years. And you're right about the "safe haven" aspect -- the problem is, they don't see that as a springboard to get to know anyone. They see it as a way to say "Look at me, I need attention" and that's as far as it ever goes.

I tried e-mailing people here when I first signed up. Never got a single reply; and, as a published author, I don't think it was because the quality of my communiques was somehow lacking.

I stopped sending e-mails. After I had been here awhile, posted enough times, they started writing to me. I made some friends, I've run into some truly great people here.

But no dating prospects.

The kind of person I want to meet apparently doesn't use dating sites.

Which is OK -- I mean, there are plenty of other good reasons to hang out here.

I have friends who have met "the one" here. But their requirements for a partner were a bit more traditional, a bit more mainstream, than mine.

There are a lot of wonderful people here. But the chasm between "wonderful people" and "someone to love" can be quite an abyss.

Its great when someone gets a point of mine- there are few joys like being understood...
I can remember one time when I was gambling on pinball lost my motorbike, trying to win a gun. I still play a mean pinball, but I prefer other stakes.
Love does rule- and at the end of the day, who's doing?
there is a wonderwoman in every woman on this green earth- however...
I would tend to agree, a broad could always capture the attention of a stranger.

There's that, there's the ubiquitous distance issue, there's about a million other complications.

it really matters not whether you are understood or not. it's that you stay true to yourself and never let anyone take the passion away from you that clearly comes across in your words.

Would be nice if all women (and probably men) took your concept to heart PLK. Thinking about changing my name to Wonderingman! :tongue:

I am sorry to hear this happens so much but what ever happened to common courtesy

If someone on the street said hello to you don't you at least smile back at them
