you find it difficult to meet a person to date in real life after using dating sites for so long. Or do you find it much more exciting meeting people online?

I've been on dating sites for many years. I get quite a few women viewing my profile but that's as far as it goes. Maybe it's the way I write my profile or the fact I've received the aged pension since 2009.

I have seriously thought of giving sites away and take my chances in real life. I'm not one that gets out much and I live in a small country town so that will make it harder for me.

Many older guys are now looking to Asian women as they find it hard finding women in their own country. I have thought of doing that as well. It's no fun being on your own most of the time.

That's my two bobs worth.. whether it helps much that's for you to decide.

Ohhh. So much easier to meet people online.... offline it's a matter of.. time.
And being in the right place at the right time...
Offline.. you go to work.. no chance of a date there..lol.. stop for gas get groceries on your way home..
Everyone is focused on their grocery list... so that only gives me an opportunity to meet somebody between the time I leave my car and walk in my front door.. 55 seconds..
Yup..lol....
But online.. there's a whole wackadoodle.. amount of people just waiting patiently for you to engage them... easy peasy..

I was just curious because at one point a few years back I found myself completely uninterested in men in real life and completely infatuated with men online lol. Until I met quite a few of them. I guess I thought they were so much more.
Yes I find as well that most who write me are scammers. Wasn't always that way sad

I'm just wondering if....

I meet a lot of guys my age here in Toronto. However, since I look younger than my age, I find them looking too old. I used to go out with a guy here in Toronto but sadly, it didn't work out. Then I heard he had died shortly after we broke up. I was shocked and told my son about it. My son said "Who? The old man?" He was two years older than me.

And the same on the internet, the ones I am attracted to, are not available, or not attracted to me. The ones available, I don't like.

One time at a party, I met someone interesting. He kept saying "my wife" but I knew he lived alone. I asked where his wife was.. he said she lived in Burlington. So I asked, "Why don't you live with your wife in Burlington?" He answered "I was not invited." LOL I excused myself and mingled.

I don't go out of my way searching for someone. I am here on Mingle2 because I like the forums. And even at this point in my life, I am hoping to fall in love again. I believe miracles do happen.
:heart: :heart: :heart:

Candi, was it because of the dirty old man?
... but you'd only encountered one... there are many more
just kidding happy laugh

The forums here are the best, aren't they?
Sometimes I burst out laughing reading the comments.

Nice to have you here in the forums.

I have only met one woman on a dating sight.
None from here
My messages rarely get answered
And I'm guessing from the pics and profile,most of the few that anser are plain fake

Get out of the house and do something
Hiking or just sitting in the park
Volunteer at the local pound
Take some night courses at the local college
Get out and meet people
Get to know them,let them get to know you...
A girlfriend will come along

hmmm,, I've gone through my mental roll-a-dex..
there is this guy I've known for 20 or more years...he has always rather flirted with me,,, the innuendo's,,,
a guy I know, who seems to like me.. I happened to be talking to him last week and he says 'I thought you were gonna call me to go out on one of your Saturdays'...'Yes, I will!' I say back..
Golly, I'm gonna! just got to think of an activity..blushing

For me I find that is difficult to meet people in real life and on line. Both have challenges.

True
I don't leave my place much
So I don't really meet any people
So I thought I'd try online dating
Thinking surely there are attractive women in my condition


Guess I was wrongoops
