What's wrong with people?

There are probably actually closer to "thousands" of people online dating between all the pay and free sites, some boast 20,000 or more members, so "hundreds" is a fair estimate I'd say. If you've done what you say then you also have done your part, but then I see no photo.

I do agree with some of what you say, but the bottom line is (like you said also) people are just too picky. Look beyond the pics, and profiles are only a general outline. Some people may be a great person, but just can't do a decent profile. Yes, we have all been burned in past relationships, and are more careful of course, but if we all let that stop us from getting into another one, we are all doomed to this online BS forever or until we just give up.

Thanks for your great opinions.....keep 'em coming, maybe people will start to see the light.....LOL

Why are we still alone, maybe you are correct in saying some are very picky, as far as answering emails, flowers I for one have always answered its common decency, and have formed great friendship's in not relationhips. I beleive honesty is the most important issue that one can confront, on these sites, yes there are dishonest people out there but one has to go by instinct and just see where it leads them. photo's can lie I always post the most recent available, but some do not. Distance sometimes can be a problem, but if two people actually feel that they do have something in common taking a chance would be worth it. I don't know what my future is going to be but I will tell you this that if I feel there is a connection than I will go for it, remember take a chance or you might just miss out on the greatest adventure of your life.

I'm not looking right now and yes it is because I am picky. I took what came along. It got real costly. Sooo, I try to stop doing what does not work. It is called learning thru experiences and acquiring wisdom.

When you interview someone for a job, you know broadly in the first 5 seconds of meeting them if they are suitable or not. If you meet a group of people in a bar, you know immediately if someone is attractive to you by the way they look, body language, something they say, the way they say it etc etc. These sites are both a blessing and a curse, its not a problem of being too picky, its a problem of not actually meeting enough people in real life. These are not dating sites, they are online chat sites. People who are serious about dating and relationships should do something real like speed dating or joining a site where dating was a requirement !

HI Everyone:I agree with most of the comments on this site. I have been on many sites and the potential for Friendship is always there but seldom happens in my experience. Chronic Loneliness can get to you at times, especially when we have tried so many times. Msybe some of us will never find new Friends or even Love. I at present dont plan on doing this much longer. Take care Everyone.

I am with you 100%! I send out flowers or short notes to men I think I would like and I get nothing..NOTHING! Everyone says they are looking for this and that and want to find love but no one puts anything out there to try..at least acknowledge the person..I mean why is anybody on here? Why are so many wasting their time..and mine really cause I put out the effort and usually get nothing. Oh, I get younger men that I don't want or strange ones that I don't need..but the men that I think might seem normal don't bother. I can't be that bad..I know I'm not. So what is the deal..get off this site if you aren't serious! Sure there are some whack jobs on here but I am sure there are some nice people on here who are truly looking. Ya can't win..if ya don't play!

BIG thumbs-up for SnowPatty! Why couldn't you live in FL? LOL

Northstar......keep the faith, don't give up.

I too believe it`s a little of everything you mention.

Not complaining, mind you.

i've been asking the same question. a lot of guys checked out my profile and i checked them out in return. some of them seemed matched with what i am looking for but then they don't email or send a flower. i wonder if they read something in my profile that they didn't like? and i only ever write/flower guys who asks for qualities that i have. no need to tell everyone that i don't get a reply .... what is new anyway???

For once someone has proved a point-some of us are just looking-some of us arent,some are looking for flings others are not,in todays world women and men alike live in this make beleave world -they watch to many reality programs on TV-they listen to other women that tell them you can do better,they are judgemental,you will know from the first words out of their mouths if they are for real or not-

I am one of many that is looking for a good woman-from my last experience i made it a point that if a woman intrest's me i will listen to them and see if they are self-centered-read their profiles closely-if there is too many( I's)-or" I like to laugh and make others laugh" then you know it will be difficult to have a relationship with them-

The one thing that i learned from my last experence is if you see that its all about them then its not worth it,trust me( "Its all about me") is something you will pick up on very quick by just reading the profiles.

Feel free to respond to this.
