I will take the men to the far side of the forest in search of women. Let's go, the near side is clearly a wasteland....! |

Just a thought....
There are quite a few people on this thread that after so many years should have figured out that negativity is getting them no where. I swear guys....try blind hope and faith for a day or two...you won't end up any more lonely than you went to bed tonight. What if you accidentally figure out someone here loves you like you deserve to be loved? What do any of us have to lose by throwing ourselves out there in a hope for love? Do it you panzies....if it fails, you will wake up no less lonely than you were today....but, at least you will have had the guts to have taken the chance. Cause if you ain't got the courage to let yourself go and really give yourself to someone in the same way that you want them to give themselves to you....you will live and die alone. |

I have carefully read all responses and I decided that I like Krupa's the best. Because, it just makes sense. It focus's on the topic, adds some positive advice and isn't directed at one particular person.
It sounds like we have all been on here long enough to know that this is a learning experience. It's not a perfect system and we are not perfect people. If we want to find true love we must be patient. As far as I know there is no time limit on our search, unless we give up. I will never give up. It is a pleasure reading all your posts. It is a nice way for all of us to come together and share our stories and experiences. |

Men say they want a good woman, but when they read a profile or look at a photo that simply says; I don't take crap! They tend to say you are mean, too serious and pass you by. Come on! Basically, we are all looking for the same thing; someone to love us for who and what we are. It is just a matter of the right chemistry and the first meeting. You will know in the first meeting if there is any connection or not. I have learned to not look at all men as potential mates. Most, are just not! Some people come into your life for a few minutes; others, a few hours, still others, perhaps a few days, week and so on. But seldom, will you meet many, who will be in your life for years. And they don't have to be intimate with you; you just may be luck enough to find a friend. I'm in my late 50's, I'm tired of the dating game. I'm easy going, but I'm serious about what I'm looking for. I don't care about race, we are all God's children. Your integrety, sincerity, ability to love, willingness to work with me for a better us: These things are important to me. So...that being said; just where in the heck are the real men? Just asking. When i view a profile i am actually looking at everything that person is sharing. The pic's to understand them or maybe see something that makes them sparkle in their life. I read the words to see what they are about or what matter's to them. And then i actually read their info trying to see if they are married or not, have kids or not, and want kids or not. I am 39 and you would be surprised how hard it is to find a woman who wants kids (or more kids)in their future. So for me it's not about "I don't take crap" from a profile, i tend to be looking at the bigger picture and how my personal desires match up to theirs. |

i have asked several women on here for a chance at meeting up and learning more about each other. i exaggerated the list quite a bit, but it is still true about them telling me that they are only here for friendships that they have built. am i bitter? i still chat and flirt with them and continue to contact other women i am interested in. am i hurt? sure, but it doesn't consume me to the point of wanting to take up sword swallowing. women don't ordinarily contact men, but several women have messaged me about something i've posted. maybe you could reread the posts and find something GOOD Ese, ol' bean, I think youre awesome, so its shocking to me that you dont have much luck here. If I lived close, I would surely want to meet. Are you contacting women who list a status that wants relationship rather than friendship? That said, I dont think Sing is bashing, just seeking answers. From what I have seen is that Sing will call people on vagueness. Lots o folks read it as hostility, but I rarely observe that from her posts. She asked why a women would contact a man who hints at hostility or at least frustration for women as a gender rather than consideration for them as individuals. That is reasonable to me. Thank you. I'm glad someone was able to understand what I was saying. I do to Sing. Its because you really take the time to read what someone has posted.If you don't understand ,agree or disagree you say so in an honest and fortwright manner. I have never seen you bash anybody, just give your honest opinion about what they have said. My gosh you have questioned my posts from time to time and rather than getting all offended I realized I was not very clear on the point I was trying to make and you helped me see that. Also I can remeber one time I was all set and ready to get revenge on somebody. You said if you do that you are no better than they are. You saved me from making a big mistake,and I thank you and salute you for being the honest ,caring person I know you are. |

Been on this site for 4 years and still single. I am strong, sincere, kind, and treat people great. I have bipolar disorder and the 100's of women I have contacted can't get past that. I have decided to give up looking. My choice to live my life alone but I come away from all of this very jaded and hurt. My faith in humanity is forever changed. I use to help people all the time but I have started to pull back. One of the biggest jokes about profiles is the lie I read over and over. Women who claim to be compassionate and open minded are usually cold and closed-minded. Like I said, I am jaded and I am stating a basic fact since I have read 100's of profiles and corresponded, or tried to, with so many I have become a quasi-expert on the subject. One woman I fell in love with turned out to be a total fraud. My heart was shredded but I kept on looking. But it has become too clear that it won't happen for me and I know I am not to blame. That's the God's honest truth. So I would like to know where all the real women at? If you are one, contact one of the nice gentlemen on here, but don't contact me. I wish we could have met a long time ago, but it wasn't meant to be. Ladies, get bold. E-mail men and find someone instead of waiting for someone to find you. Best of luck to all and goodbye. Ken What a sad story. Ken has deactivated his account too. I did a self evaluation after reading this. I don't know what to think. |

I'm not trying to bash people at all. Just because I may disagree with something, or not understand someone clearly, it does not mean I'm trying to put them down when I respond with questions. But, I do try to be straight forward about what I say, rather than dancing around something. I'm not out to offend people, though. |

Same goes for some men. All the negativity toward women makes some seem as though they just don't like women very much. |

"but when they read a profile or look at a photo that simply says; I don't take crap! They tend to say you are mean, too serious and pass you by." to this I agree. If u want a good woman and not a player then you have to be an equally good man. That is what "I don't take crap" means |

And of course those who mention they don't like drama or games tend to the be the ones who surround themselves in drama and still play games.

As for the misandry comment that was just an idiom i typed for another reason a "real man" may shy away.Unfortunately sometimes you witness the battle of who is the better gender and conclude "now i see what the problem is" generalizing and being deceived. |
