I cant answer for all men on here, or the ones you are in contact with but seriously men run if they see sight of anything serious. Dont take me the wrong way sites like these are being used by players more than serious guys looking for a relationship. They see it a flirting and hide behind the screen as soon as they are pushed to commit then the run takes place.

Men could have been hurt in the past as too with woman, its just about waiting until someone out of the blue comes out and starts to consider you a potential serious date.

The one which will hit your heart will be the one you werent expecting.hug

pebblesbamban: have fun girl... ... and be careful with the piranhas....Tilapias... monkey.. parrots...and pirates......


For once I agree with pebbles.


This site has some characters who like shooting down intelligent and nice people like yourself.

It kills it sometimes.


Good luck.

Ok, women are geared to want to get married. Most women snap up anything that will say "I DO." The men here are men who have not been snapped up. That means that you are rooting through all kinds of guys who are single for a reason. The best you can do is to figure out what that reason is. Did his wife die, or does he consider himself a player, or is it fear of commitment? I feel that if a guy has not been snapped up, that's suspicious, and the men here should be approached with caution.

Hi Daisychick

What an interesing thread. Oh the reasons why people are here. One topic where many people think they know why other people are here.

I cannot speak for me. But I can tell you why I came here. I came on the recommendation of a friend, when another forum closed down that was a relationships forum and at that time I was going through a rather spectacular break up. I joined here, in what was a fragile state. I posted once, then I never returned for six months to the forums, as I could not face it and was in all honesty seeking the safety of my old forum. I came back again around 18 months ago. To the forums and I never used it as a dating site, I used it as a way of filling time, my children had left home, and the long winters in Austria, made it a place to come and chat and get to know people. I was never here for dating, even though I had a profile completed and the dreaded 'What you are looking for# filled in. I would become frustrated at people over IM who I could not have a conversation with and set my IM to switched off. Then I began writing in the forums, firstly over in the EU then I had a browse in these ones and I liked them.

Being in a school myself, I find the adult interaction is good for me, especially as I do live alone, I am only here for the forums. I have not made so many friends, because I don't want a huge long list of online friends, I have the ones that know me personally and we meet who are also members here, and a couple that I chat to outside of here.

I did not use this site as a sole avenue for meeting a person. I did in the end, meet a person from here and we are in a happy, stable relationship.

I do not even begin to speculate why other people are here, but it will be interesting to see why people really are here.... I know from other threads that people have written why they are here, but I like it when people write about themselves. So it will be interesting.

DaisyChick: I find it weird that when you find a "connection" with someone that most men on this site get freaked out. I wonder what the real purpose behind these profiles really are. I've been around this site (and forums) for over a year and without fail every single time I talk with someone that is capable of a decent conversation they get freaked out if they "feel" anything more than just a friendship. Why are people really here? I truly believe that it doesn't have anything to do with the person on the receiving end (IN MY CASE... unless I am just in some weird little sheltered world). I'm starting to believe that guys seek out "GOOD" girls and then once they get them they run.

My question is why??

For over a year I have had my profile saying that I am strictly here for forums and friends. That has changed within the last month, I'm tired of focusing only on school. I thought I was ready for something more... until I've had a few experiences of men not being able to handle a decent "intelligent" conversation. It's like everything goes great until they realize how compatible we could actually be and that I am not willing to "play games." I consider myself to be on the high end of "good girls." I am working hard in school (as many of you may know). Is it possible that men aren't willing to share my time? (I have to put schoolwork and studying first. At 32 years old it's time to build a future and career for myself regardless of any relationship). This does not mean that I am not willing to share this life with someone else. This just means that I must find someone that understands that I need more than someone to love. I must love myself too! (And be happy with the choices I make in life.)

Any thoughts on this? Could it intimidate people?

This is true for some and I agree. I think there is a "mindset" though and some women get past that "I Do" stage. I've been married (and separated and now widowed) and am ready to meet people that are looking for the same things in a ""Relationship"" as I am (whether it be romantic or friendship based). Some people may just have sh*tty luck, as I have. I strongly believe that all the ones "not snapped up" aren't because of their lack of character or personality but because it was someone elses poor judgement (which in turn equals my gain).
