OMG, don't even get me started about the Internet dating. I have tried them all. However, it's difficult here. I live in an area where eligible single male out number eligible single female by 8:1 ratio. From what I understand, that's worse odds than Nome, Alaska where they used to use catalog brides. Also, this Silicon Valley work culture makes it difficult to meet someone.

So, I tried Yahoo, Match.com, etc.... Currently I am trying eHarmony.com. It seems to be better but no luck in last 5 months. I met 3 people total out of hundreds of referrals and none worked out. How hard would it be to meet a hot woman, who has a Ph.D. and who's a multi-millionaire? It can't too hard.  LOL

Seriously, it's hard to find somone who is attactive inside and out with a good mid-western values in Califorina. I am still searching.

Well, for all my smart aleck ways....... I can try to be serious for a moment or two.... I don't think it matters WHERE in the heck you find the right person. Be it at work, on a creekbank fishing, (those carps are mighty fine looking, LoL, kidding...) or at the market, or from school, or on the internet...... I think certain people were just..... intended to meet. And it's cool that the internet makes that possible. More power to anyone who is searching online.

One of these days, you'll find her....... and it'll hit ya like a ton of bricks...... and your search will be over.  :wave:

And, no, I'm NOT a romantic at heart, haha.  :whistle:

I tried Internet dating - Too many freaks!

Everyone always assumes that I am like some kinda bimbo. Well I'm not.

I have searched for the "perfect" man everywhere.

But they are extremely rare.

I mean there has got to be a man somewhere for lil ol me.

I want a guy that is secure (financially & emotionally) who isn't afraid of a little commitment. I am not talking getting married tomorrow but if you date me date only me! Lavish me with words as well as gifts.

I deserve to be spoiled because I will do the same in return.

I agree there is someone out there for everyone. But mine must be hiding under a rock somewhere or he married Ms Wrong.

Krazyfool, if that is really your picture good lord - How are you possibley getting a date. What you said sounds nice but Sorry I couldn't get past your looks! Yikes!!!

The "too many freaks" thing goes BOTH ways!!  Trust me!!  :shock:

The "perfect man" is no more rare than the "perfect woman"...although, having said that, I can't speak for you, but I ain't givin up yet!!   There's somebody out there for you.

Spoiling each other?  Hail, I thought that was just part of the whole relationship thing

Keep looking under rocks...more of us Ms.-Wrong-Marriers come available all the time!!!  ROFL

Well, Crybaby...... unfortunately for you..... you're gorgeous. And that alone will attract many freaks to your door. Getting someone to see past that and WANT to look at the inside of you- will be the tough part.

In a case like yours, maybe internet dating wouldn't be such a bad idea: You can always be a freak yourself, and put a different- not so nice looking gal's- picture there, and see if someone gets to know you for who you are first.  Then when they see what you really look like, it will be after the fact, they'll like you for something different. Just a thought.  I personally, due to all the wierdos who prey on the internet, would have a really tough time making myself actually meet someone in person for the first time or two. I think I'd want to have an escort- haha, one of my big brothers or something, for safety sake.

Mr. Perfect...... not to cause an argument...... does not exist in this world. Mr. Flaw, Mr. I-Own-You, and Mr. Your-Not-As-Good-As-Me killed him at the beginning of time. Really. But there's someone for everyone..... atleast sometimes two people can get together who can truly ACCEPT one anothers' flaws.... and love each other in spite of them.... or maybe even partly because of them. It's a rarity though. And "hiding under rocks"....... those are SNAKES....... much better companions than men are.  LOL

Hey!!  :idea:  I know......... MY husband married "Mrs. Wrong"........ and I just happen to be about to release him into the wild, take his chains off, set him free. So there ya go... you can have HIM. hahahaha

Somebody shut me up, I need to just go sing an angry song I think.  :wave:  LOL

CryBaby....

How fond are you of Jacksonville? Come on down I-75 to Tampa Bay and let's get married and have babies (two of them). I have everything you need right here (no white picket fence, but everything else!!)

Really though....you sound like you have your head straight and know what you want out of relationships, and you are cerainly an attractive gal, so you'll be fine...just find that guy that is ready to have the same kind of mature relationship like you are and you'll be fine (did I mention that I know a great single guy in Tampa Bay?)

Lil Mizz Attitude,
 We are all here for the fun, .................. Just so you know.

Life is short. If you can find someone that respects you as a person, and believes in you for who you are.

Is there anything better.

Truly the Honeymoon only lasts a short time then it's just a matter of totaly accepting the one you are with. I'm not looking for greener pastures, I know that a fresh pasture is always fun for a while, but after grazing a while. everything becomes old news.

But My new Puppy Loves me for who I am............................ (the one who feeds him)

That's the problem....... I'm not so sure that person exists in the real world. Not really. They usually start out "pretending" they do. But it's too soon their true side comes out.



I wouldn't know. Seems that would certainly be enough though, wouldn't it?



Yeah, but does that honeymoon have to end so dang soon?  



And that's the way it should be..... I don't think people should be single forever, heck, being single would be nothing short of SCARY I think.  But.... which is really tougher? I wouldn't know..... I haven't ever been single, not since being 18. I never ever played the "dating game". Well, besides at a high school level. As I said, that would hold no appeal for me.... I would die an old maid.... I would look upon dating- if I were single- as a very scary thought.



Puppy? You mean, as in the canine kind? Yeah, I've already gave my speach in another thread about which is more companionable- men or dogs.  :no:  You don't wanna hear that again.

Actually, you don't wanna hear ME any more....... I'm NOT a good person to post in any kind of thread regarding "relationships"..... my views are too evil & twisted.

See ya all later.  :wave:

 Yippeeeee!!!   Internet Dating!!!   I'm IN!!!!    

Seriously though...I have met some nice men through the internet.  Haven't made that "love" connection but friendships are always nice too.   I guess I just need someone as stubborn and redneck as me....


Dang...Just realized.....I HAVE A STAR!!!!

I wonder what the assumptions are formulated upon ?



Oh,  I assumed you were searching for a human male.



There might be,  but "perfect" males usually end up crawling under rocks because women can be egocentric pains-in-the-butt. Sometimes they take, while giving very little in return. I've been with a few that wanted the "perfect man", yet these were not PEOPLE that deserved perfection. They should've just stayed under their father's roof and been his princess for life. My mistake was that I should've just bought a Yorkshire Terrier instead of trying to find inner and outer beauty for any duration in a human being that I dated because of what I hoped she'd be... Yorkies can be much prettier after a few days of having to face them, more amusing, certainly more honest and realistic, and  even worth waiting on. Female humans have been known to run off as soon as someone down the block puts a bowl of milk out on the front porch for them, really can be a nasty species too. They frequently bite the hand that feeds them too. When I meet a woman who I find physically and emotionally appealing, sensitive, reasonable, intelligent and down to earth, with some sort've sense of humor. Someone who doesn't believe she's so special she deserves to suck the life out've we imperfect beings, MAYBE it'll be worth expending energy to move the rock, where there's a nice patch of soil down here for two.. You see, under a rock is where alot of we older males end up finding Utopia, after burning out because of the quest for "the perfect female".




I suppose this can go on for a period of time.  Yet words and gifts are often used as bribery.  If a man know's that's how you can be "bought", you might very well find in time it's easier for him to play you, than love you. What I liked about my pets, is they got to know me as a person, there was always consistent behaviour throughout our time together, feelings kept growing, nothing fell apart.  The biggest mistakes I made in relationships with women however was bothering with females that had an attractive shell on the "outside", they had looks and gestures yet were boring as all hell, if not empty as people.  Gift's and words anyone can give to another person..
It's even easier for some than an apology.. Yet it's superficial IMHO... Nice if balanced with genuine feeling however.



I deserve to be able to crawl back into the womb, stick my thumb in my mouth, and float around care free.. Yet few women are willing to satiate my need. I'll even settle for what is doable in reality, being swaddled and burped on ocassion. Yet it's not easy to find someone to fulfull even our most basic wants for a prolonged time.

Consequently I must settle, I'm busy spoiling myself;  I have alot of disposable income to buy nice toys (for me) since my overhead (under this rock) is considerably low. Some are really less lonely under a rock by themselves too !



This is a cliche.  It doesn't state it's ever possible to know who these people are, and where these so-called "perfect mates" exist, fact is~ There likely ISN'T a person out there for someone who believes that being in a long-term relationship can make all of life's evils go away, or cure them of their difficulty living with their own head. Some believe a relationship is a panacea that can "make the bad things in life go away".  For all we know, the three of the perfect women for me might live together in a hut in New Guinea and be lesbians

"not that there's anything wrong with that".



These two conditions are seldom mutually exclusive.  You marry Ms Wrong, you often are forced to hide under a rock !  Some have married Ms Wrong, and her relatives too.




and if that IS his actual photo ?  You've just made someone else "cry". Why is that acceptable ?

You know what's sad ?

We are born ugly as sin, and as we get "old" we revert back to becoming unattractive, needy, "nipples on our culture", and helpless. Some elderly people not only often end up "useless" and "ugly" (in our culture) but have little to offer anyone.. Our culture is for the young and strong to play in...Rich too...Yet what's inside a person doesn't really matter too many unfortuneately, because most buy the BS.....So rather than gaining respect the old, handicapped, and ugly often are looked at as a drain on others because of their neediness, they have a social disadvantage in our unfair world. Many elderly in nursing homes just wait to die.. This is reality, "romance" of course is a fantasy period that serves as little more than a period of initial impacting another person, or more appropriately termed; It's bull^&$#, it's just a means of capturing a person and luring them into our reality.. Once in awhile you hear about couples that are still loving and romantic after many years..WOW do I envy that low percentage that can make life work like that for them, it doesn't happen naturally. Between periods of ugliness during our life cycle, somehow we lose sight of what's really important in a person which is the person, not the packaging.

MANY are MUCH uglier than that avatar photo on the inside.  They just realise that the pretty exterior packaging is what many women fall for !  We males too make this mistake.  Attractive on the outside get's ALOT of social mileage in our culture...Yet attractive on the outside if people are lucky enough to have it at any point, often leads to a persons demise and loneliness if "looks" becomes their value ..they get used..not loved, they don't have to work on their personality to meet others that have a comparable value system, because the relationships are just superficial people having fun with other superficial people. So in time they crash and end up ugly inside and outside because in time WE all end up ugly.... It's really worth giving some thought to, because external beauty loses it's magnificence after we are exposed to the many other dimensions of the person, it's quite temporary, something I work on transcending as being important..


What would happen if you were in an automobile accident, and became repugnant to look at ?  or if your mate was in an auto accident ?   Would you stick a bumper sticker on his backside reading.... "I'm still with him because he looked like Brad Pitt before the truck hit him" ? or would you abandon him ?  What our culture does to us is pretty disgusting, what becomes important is really so unimportant..  Yet after getting beat up frequently by females demands, we males DO look like that avatar photo after spending time under a rock.... The bright light when exposed to daylight for the first few hours makes us squint like that when our photo's are taken !

Anyway, I can't say that it was actually Internet Dating but I re-met the girl of my dreams through the internet. We actually met some 20 years (plus) ago. We were good friends - I asked her out all the time she was/is "HOT" - she never took me seriously. Senior year I finally convinced her to go out with me - 1 date - I thought I blew it (long story) Anyway to shorten things up - after graduation we lost touch.

Nearly 6 years ago I get an email - "Do you miss me as much as I miss you?" - we were close friends. She wanted to know what was happening in my life.

Apparently, we grew into the same person - same likes, dislikes, very few exceptions - We even think the same thoughts (spooky sometimes - we turn to each other and say "Get outta my head")

We moved into together shortly thereafter...

So it wasn't the Internet directly - but without the technology would she have found me so easily?

BTW - www.Classmates.com Great site!
5 years ago I created a website just for our High School - www.Groveton.org  needs work but maybe it will help others connect...
