I have been getting a bit angry at the dating prospects here.
I have been getting jaded and not believing the things I am reading.
I do not want to be angry or jaded.
I just do not believe that people who are 22 can not find dates.
I do not believe that people need advice about people they have not met.
I am not a mean person, not hopeless but..I gotta say..this site is not helping my hopes.

Who is for real?

If you lived closer to me I would love to date you! Sorry about all the other guys on this site :P

don't let the other guys get you down though, jerks are always jerks and when you DO find someone here, it'll be so much better now :)



take care!

said the man out of touch

do i see like a biatch?

without kissing a girl a man cannot become his lover.

I met a couple of Nice men here. However, they are Older Men. They are also on other sites not on Mingle forums.

Well, who can tell but I can believe that there are young people in the world that don't find it easy to get dates and although to a certain extent I agree with you that when you check out some profile saying that they are a glamour model that's resorting to the internet to find men or something like that you are going to be a bit skeptical.

How do you mean, "I do not believe that people need advice about people they have not met"? Are you talking about someone posting and asking what we think about someone that they have been chatting to on here? What's wrong with that?

People can stretch the truth about things. When they say that they cannot find dates, they probably mean that they haven't found any dates lately. I think if you anticipate someone is lying then you will become more jaded.

easy to find a date finding one you click with is the hard part very rare.:-)

Sorry Julie, but there is an age gap betwixt us. Keep locking of course and good luck!

I for one understand what you mean. I have had a recent experience where I clicked "match" she clicked "match" only to tell me in message that she wasnt on here to meet anyone, though her profile read " long term relationship"...Im thinking WTF..? why did she click match on me? I guess she felt like she had to return the favor..?? My profile is pretty specific..talk about becoming jaded...and Ive only been on here for a few days !! Maybe I intimidated her by clicking "match" in the fist place! lol smh.. That being said I AM for real and part of that means I expect to have to travel for a "date" though I call it a meeting...either way its a start...Halfway points give both the opportunity to see someplace different...I expect to have both positive and negative experiences, though I didnt expect to have the beginning and the ending of the relationship happen at the same time !!

It is simple, dear...I am afraid of Americans.

Most People on dis Site don't Wanno Open up their Hearts, plus they're so Concerned about not Looking/Sounding Desperate, therefore, they don't Encourage yu with What comes Outta their Mouths

And yeah, People seem 2 always be too Far away from the Ones they're Attracted to

It's just like I've said before. When you're just talking to someone on the internet that's all it is and even if you do get the fantasy romance experience with it people are hiding behind computers not sure if they want to trust or what to believe or what's really going on.

Recently I contacted a girl and we exchanged a few messages and seemed to be getting on really well and had a lot of interests in common but she just stopped replying and I don't know why. It is hard to find someone on these sites that is going to be completely honest and open with you and at the end of the day, people are going to say things to make them appear how they want to appear.

I posted in the profile rating forum asking for opinions about what I've got on mine now and I got some positive comments but a couple of people telling me that I sound desperate and how women like confidence and all of that jazz. I don't care. I've had a few women saying that they really liked my profile and I just tell them like it is. Doesn't mean that I don't try to turn on the charm or don't worry about saying the wrong thing but if they aren't into me then whatever.

Funnily enough, when you chat with people that live too far away for dating it tends to be more relaxed and more honest and you can "meet" cool people on here but you do get jaded for sure. They tell you that the forums are the way to go but how many posters here have dated each other really? At least half of the women that post here say that they are fed up with dating or just on here for friendship and we talk and talk about dating and relationships but that's all it is.

Observations on Dating: Dating is when you pretend you're someone you're not, to impress someone you don't even know.
Fellow employees often make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they are usually tax-deductible.
There is someone out there for nearly everyone, even if you need a machete, a compass and night-vision goggles to find them.
Dating could lead to courtship; it's that period of time during which the woman decides whether or not she can do better...and remember that courtship to marriage,is a very witty prologue, usually, to a very dull play once she shares your bank accounts.
You know your date is too old if you find out that her recreationa vehicle is a Lazy Boy recliner.
Many of us go on so many blind dates that we should qualify for a free dog (four legged ones)
As you get older, the 'pickings' get slimmer, but the people don't...
My favourite type of woman was always the one that would go out with me at least twice and if not, I'd rather sit home all alone than go out with some woman that sells her underwear on the internet.
Finding a woman to date is like finding a job; it is easier to find one when you already have one. I have very little if any luck with women. I once went on a date and asked the woman if she brought any protection. She pulled a gun on me...
There are many types of 'bad dates' one is when her multiple personalities begin arguing over splitting the cheque; after four beers or two martinis she starts calling you "daddy"... or after every pace that you suggest for dinner, she says,'Nahhh, there might be cops there'
I know one elderly couple that are dating; she is 87 and he is 93. They never argue, They can't hear each other...I went out with one several years older. She asked me if I'd like to meet her parents...she took me to the cemetery. All cannot be hopeless...
(Can it????)

Finding someone of interest can be like waiting for a bus, nothing for ages then two come along at once, stay patient and good luck in your search.

well put. and therein the problem and challenge at least for me. I have found several dates but none that "clicked" so I have become tired of (what I view now as ) wasting my time running off to meet someone whee neither of us is really interested

right he's from California "warning warning" lol
