Sometimes

My late wife was a woman with an outlook on life that showed amazing insight.
One time when I was looking to purchase a good used van for work after going through countless adds I was getting frustrated. I sat at my desk looking dismayed when Leah in her gentle way came over and was massaging my neck and said, Honey sometimes you have to dig a lot of coal to find a diamond." a week later I found the van I was looking for.
In a world where most people are looking for a quick result, her statement holds true. On dating sites it is easy to just give up. Each of us has our own desires. Whether it is basic or as off the wall as mine you may have to deal with a good number of people before you find what you are seeking. There will be many who will approach you some with sincere motives and others who will try to take you for what they can. But remember sometimes you have to dig a lot of coal to find a diamond.
Finding someone with the same interests and goals can take a while but in the end it is far better than settling for less than what you want.
Don't give up hope just keep diggingwave

Also, if you don’t encounter any ‘coal’, how would you then appreciate a ‘diamond’ when you finally found it?

To all the nice people here on the blogs and forums, I hope you’ll find your precious diamond soon teddybear

So true. She seemed to have been a wise woman. One needs to look much below the surface. U will be able to find that special person.
A footnote, spend some time on self improvement be it education and learning about new topics, and physical health (i.e., hit the gym, do some jogging or hiking etc. Improve your diet. Read news stories from both liberal and conservative sources, you will have a much better picture of where the truth lies if you have heard from opposing view points. Are you over weight and flabby? Fix that. Improving yourself improves your own opportunities.

I disagree with Ken, it takes a long time to find someone who is compatible with you. Ask yourself, how many people do you know who are compatible with you, you'd be lucky if you can count 3 people out of all the thousands of people you already know.
Ken it seems that what you shared is a bit off topic and would be better as a blog unto itself.
I’m mostly posting right now, but if Mr right comes along then no problem
