My name nickname is AJ (what everyone in RL calls me)
and as the title states I'm 43 and new to this site.

I also don't give to flying figs if a person thinks I'm "Too fat" for them... if they're narrow minded then so be it... I love me for who I am... I do NOT need anyone's validation; THAT is for cars!

I don't appreciate being lied to either. "Oh I'm a nice guy!" (says the man who tells me I'm "Stupid" for wanting to get an education...) If you HAVE to convince me... then you're not who you say you are.

I'm not into one night stands... I want long term and I'm tired of hearing... Oh don't take this site too seriously... I am here trying to make a serious effort to meet someone, I'd like it if someone would take me seriously in this matter.

SO if you've made it this far in my message and you are in the Halifax or Dartmouth area. The by all means drop me a line. (AND just so it's known, long distance fellas are likely to have less luck as I can NOT go to see anyone; I don't have a car or drive.)

NOTE: No I don't want to give you my email
NO I will not give you my phone number right away.
No, I'm not willing to meet you in a non public spot
No I won't go out the 1st message you send me... give me time to
get to know you some first.

(INTERNET SAFETY ... remember... if this can't be respected for me as I want to remain safe,m then you're also not someone I want to meet. This is taught to our kids for a reason and I will continue to go by it)

Welcome

* I hope you have a lot of fun and who knows you may connect with a great mate. Most of us play nice in our sand box and try, try not to throw the sand

** Enjoy

So apparently my post was edited for "Dissing a site" ... and I'm like HUH?!
I don't get how my saying I had crappy luck in another site is dissing it... If anything I was being more particular of the males who frequented there but if I have to watch EVERYTHING I say in here just because people are too sensitive maybe this site isn't the right option either... :S

as for finding someone... I gave up... I WAS here to see if I could connect with people and make friends more than anything since dating is obviously off my agenda.

Too many overly sensitive people in this world. SMH

its not overly sensitive ....its giving respect to the other members...dissing anyone as you call it, is frowned upon by our active Moderators.....its their job, to see that everyone, yup, including you...have a good experience on this site...which btw is still the only free site with a modem of decency.....Join the conversation, it may expand your knowledge and keep u updated in the single world.....just saying...
And a warm welcometo M2....

good luck

I really don't know coz the tone of your voice is so pissed off and rather scares away other members who may put an interest on you. And if you are really that so disheartened by sites like this then feel free to go to other sites.

Check the forums, so you will know the decency of the active members in here...and by the way Good Luck to your Temper
