buddie13: I admire your tenacity and dont give up, just keep on keeping on, distance is a problem I live in a regional area and have just moved to a more isolated spot, so it takes some planning, send out lots of mail and have a couple of photos, profiles are difficult but you have to keep it real, my daughter gives me my instructions on cyber manners, you cant trust to easy once I'm a mature aged lady...good luck
Thanks, I met a few con-artists over the past couple of months, and then this one: He was going to meet with me, before the usual Saturday night with his mates,phoned that night: he had to attend a birthday dinner for his daughter, would phone back later to meet after that; and then did not phone back: So: I have lost patience:

I am leaving singles sites. Friday night I was ridiculed at work, by my cousin; about looking for a man on the 'net. Funny thing is: I have not told anyone about my search on the singles sites for a man. So - how do they know? All the married people think it is hilarious that I even bother to try to find someone. They won't tell me the stories about me, but say they are sure to put anyone off. Those started 14 years ago, when I dated Mark Cooper for 3 months, and then left him, saying we were incompatible. His response? "If I can't have you, I will make sure noone else wants you."
How very successful he has been, these past 14 years. All people who hear stories about someone they don't know, passed on by someone they do know, will believe their friend, and worse still, will believe the story, because it is about someone they don't know.
So, now I have no chance of finding anyone, because I don't go out anywhere, and am off the 'net.
Hope you had a good night last night. Was it a last-minute birthday dinner arrangement for your daughter? Just that you did not know about it, a day or so earlier. At that point, you were going out with your mates. It's amazing how many men are very keen to meet, and then all of a sudden have a female relative, be it daughter, sister, mother or cousin, for whom they have to attend a function. In the past 2 weeks, there has been a surprise birthday for a sister, needing to take Mum to see her great-grandchildren, a drama with a sister's children and a birthday dinner for a daughter.
Again, I say you must have received another, more interesting message from at least 1 lady on the site.
Last night, I prepared for a possible visitor who was fast losing interest, and then watched "Castaway" on Channel 7. It's about a man who is totally alone on an island for 4 years. That must be awfully distressing, to be alone for that long. The worst thing was, even though he was rescued and returned to civilisation, everyone else had 'moved on' and even the 'love of his life', who still loved him, had found someone else. So he was again totally alone, having lost his former life.
The message would be: Even if I find a man who is bright enough to dismiss the stories, and brave enough to ignore the twits spouting them, he will then need to be sufficiently interested in me.
I don't flash a semi-naked body at you, or operate a web-cam to attract your attention. There's a reason for that. It is not that I lack beauty. It is the need to keep it private.
Guess after you read this, you won't be responding. But that would be because you found someone else more interesting - and you would not be bright enough or brave enough to take on something real.
But then, should that be the case; how could I be interested in someone who is not sufficiently bright or brave? My standards are way above those of most people in this town. That's why they make up stories. Because they know nothing real about me.
