I don't mean to be disloyal to Connecting Singles, because the Forums here are very important to me, but I would like to suggest you use another site, Miss agoodblkwoman. Please try.. which is a rather long and tedious process to sign up with, because of all the test questions you will have to answer, but then it will be for him, too, and he will have to answer hundreds of questions in which he will have to demonstrate that he is a good man. It might not work, but it makes it hard for the insincere, hard for the men who are just after, as you say, some. The testing is quite rigorous and the matching very thorough, and yet it is all free. Try it. You might not like having to go through all the work, but I think you will find it will help. Don't abandon Connecting Singles, though, please. We like having you around.
Yes thank god there are good men left. Yes we get hurt way too much but I give my all in a relationship and i don't put on airs. The guy knows who i am and what he's getting right from the get go. If it doesn't work out at least i know i've given it my all and i was good to him and true to myself. I think women know when they're settleing for less than they deserve. It just takes time for us to find ourselves again and leave but we do it when we're ready. Just because we stay does not make us stupid or needy. Hang in there good. Nothing like the love of a good woman!
I guess this site is no different than anywhere else. There are going to be good and bad anywhere, but you should give those of us who are not on here to "play" anyone the benefit of the doubt. It's not just dating sites, it's everywhere. At work, at the clubs and bars, in the park, on the beach, even at church I guess, by the way things are looking lately. But stereotyping all guys on the site is a little extreme. There are a few of us here, you just have to find them...I know, I know, easier said than done, but I am confident if you keep searching you will find him. Never give up! good Luck!
it's very difficult to know who are good men and women until you meet and explore eachother,and sometimes it's too late you've fallin' in love with them just to be kicked in the teeth,a relationship can be like a poker game you gamble with a good hand but you also need that little bit of luck.
Yes, there are good men out there, you just haven't found the one for you yet! There are good and bad in every situation it is all part of life's balance. Don't let it get you down.
I agree with you foxyeyes. I am a salesman by trade and not easily duped. Except when it comes to relationships. I think the reason is, I want so bad for the relationship to work I overlook the bad stuff.

I am the same way R4you but eventually you start tripping over red flags .There are more good men than bad so hang in there agoodblkwoman you will find yours.
Yes, cutelildevilsmom, it's those red flags that we need to be conscious of...and, just because we might be "attracted" to someone doesn't mean that person is the one. Heck, I think lots of guys have great pictures on here and can charm the wallpaper off the walls, but.......

you have to set some conditions Will but you need them to be realistic and flexible.I find when the conversation is good I forget all about what they look like or whether or not they have six toes.I think as long as the personalities mesh the rest takes care of itself.It's when you listen too other people's opinions of what's acceptable or the norm is when things go awry.
Yes there are good men left out there, But you know I think we set our sites to high for what we want We all have known love, But you know there is no perfect man . when we look we try and look for the ones who maybe are someone like maybe that was in our past but the past is dead. and we need to focus on the real world. Men are different than they use to be so are women. we search for a a perfect man and not find him maybe we should look for the not so perfect person. and look at what is really out there and be bold enough not to lie to one another and be honest about what we all look like and what we really need from one another. signed lilncute
There are some, even if they are hard to find. It seems to me that women, like men, seem all to often to look at the cute ones hopeing for the good inside. They won't accept someone less than their ideal man/woman, then complain because they don't work out. I am guilty of it also dateing someone because they are pretty and then being disapointed because the are not the person that you want to spend your life with or getting dumped on because they found someone prettier or hansomer than you. I even gave up dating for a while because I decided that there wern't any women left worth the effort. But I am a hopeless romantic. There has to pe a decent woman that be true and loyal somewhere. I know that many of you ladies have been there also. Why is it that the loyal, loviong, good hearted people never seem to find wach other. If I have to kiss a few frogs to find my princess so be it. The alternate, being lonly, is not an option. Even a blond hog finds an acorn once in a while. So I will just have to look harder, you too, don't give up.
Paitence my friend!!!!! Something we all need more of. We are so ready for that next chapter of our lives to begin that we will do anything to rush it along. I know for me the ole clock is ticking on the wall and I am not getting any younger. However, I did meet a guy online and we talked for two straight months almost everynight. I would rush home just to talk to him. I found myself falling hard for this man. I did begin to fall back into that same pattern I use to be in "the nurturing mother figure". One day I never heard from him again just like that. I was devastated, but with anything you get over it and move on. But don't jump on the first man that comes along and says what you want, does what you want, Be smart & alert. Never, Never put yourself last in a realationship and let that be a signal if you find yourself doing that "Get Out" because if it is the right one there will be no give all/get none. It will be 50/50. He will want to give has much to you as you want to give to him. That's my own opinion, Good Luck!

I feel that I am a good woman and that I could make someone very happy one day, but as soon as I get happy and start to fall in love, I get played.
ARE THERE ANY GOOD MEN LEFT?
I feel men use this site and other dating sites as a way to get some
