Hi Saskia
You are a very beautiful woman & your profile looks good so i really don't know why you are still single
Starting your own thread was a good idea though as more people will get to know you. Have a lovely day & weekend,
quit playing hard to get and just find someone that will be good with you, the rest should come as a natural if you're truly a good woman and not the judge

Quite frankly, I have no idea ( and I suppose that most of the regular poster have not really a idea of what you are doing wrong)
Maybe you would like to share something more about yourself and your dating experiences

Hi Saskia, I,ve read one of your comments and it seems you are a smart woman. Maybe men are afraid of that, many women claim to be smart but they are not. the other think i can say is the age and is not easy to choose any more, i don't know you said to be brutal i call it true. I think you better of getting out like i did and i am sure you will get the person you wish but hurry, damn time is chasing us.

Without more information it's difficult to say.All we can go by is some pictures and a bit of information on your profile.
Now I am not saying this to be mean or to hurt your feelings but maybe you go a wee bit heavy on the makeup.You are so lucky to be naturally pretty that you really don't need much makeup at all.Some of us no matter how much makeup we put on will never be so pretty as you are.Men see heavy makeup and their thoughts tend to run along the lines of "she must be high maintenance",or"I could never take her camping".I am not saying you are high maintenance just so you know and before anyone flies off the handle.
We are all here, so obviously, we know just as much as you do Maybe you need to change something, but it's not for us to tell you what. Be happy with yourself and... be patient

I'm glad you didn't take it badly because honestly you are pretty ,and even with just lip gloss and moisturizer on you would still be lucky enough to have full lips,fantastic bone structure and skin that I can only dream of.
Good luck and I hope you find the man of your dreams.
THANKS DARREN FOR THE POSITIVE ......... AND THE LAST COMMENT ABOUT THE THREAD , SEE EVEN THAT IS A GOOD HELP TO ME.........DARREN DO YOU THINK I AM WEARING TOO MUCH MAKEUP OR LOOK LIKE I AM HIGH MAINTENANCE? OR ARE YOU A MAN WHO CAN APPRECIATE A WOMAN WHO CAN LOOK GOOD? HELP ME HERE AND YOUR HONESTY IS APPRECIATED .. SASKIA

Yes, you must be nice, funny, polite and pretent that you don't know everything because you are scaring the men. Men wants to "rule" pretenting that they are in control, let them know you and then show them your skills one by one. I had the same problem getting a good date, i show up with an expensive car all the "poor" and inteligent girls will not approach me, so i went and bout a cheap car and i have the oportunity to choose the girl that i think is right for me and then show her my other car. I hope it helps from mans' point of view.

WELL , ID NEED TO PUBLISH A BOOK TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY DATING EXPERIENCES......BECAUSE I HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW........BUT ITS LIKE WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE ON THE NET YOU FORM A DREAM ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF WHAT MIGHT BE, AROUND EVERY CORNER IS A NEW GUY AND YOU ARE HOPING HE LOOKS CLEAN , HAS NO HAIR GROWING OUT HIS NOSE OR EARS, YOU HOPE HE HAS ALL HIS TEETH , AND THEY ARE CLEAN , THIS MEANS HE TAKES CARE OF HIMSELF, WHEN YOU ARE OLDER ALL THESE THINGS MATTER, YOU HOPE HE IS TOTALLY INTERESTED IN YOU, AND WILL LISTEN TO YOU, YOU HOPE HE WONT CUT YOU OFF EVERYTIME YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO SAY SOMETHING, YOU WANT HIM TO DRESS WELL , TELLING YOU HE HAS A LITTLE STYLE AND CAN LOOK GOOD BESIDE YOU, YOU WANT HIM TO SHOW HE HAS MANNERS, AND REALISES THAT WILL IMPRESS YOU .....ALL THESE THINGS TELL US OF WHERE THE PERSON COMES FROM, POSSIBLY HOW HE WAS RAISED AND OFFERS INDICATIONS ABOUT WHERE HIS MIND IS AT, EVERYTHING A PERSON DOES OR SAYS WHEN HE/SHE MEETS SOMEONE NEW IS A SIGN , IT IS ALL SIGNS. WE GROW OLDER AND MORE DISCERNING, WE KNOW MORE AND MORE WHAT WE WANT AND WHAT IS RIGHT FOR US, AND SOMETIMES WE ACCEPT AND TOLERATE SOMETHING IN A PERSON BECAUSE SOMETHING ELSE OUTSHINES THAT DEFECT.WE HAVE ALSO LEARNT THROUGH LIFE EXPERIENCE WHAT WE CANNOT ABIDE AND WILL NOT TOLERATE AND ACCEPT ....... BUT ESSENTIALLY WE SHOULD ALL KNOW WHAT WE NEED FOR OURSELVES. AND AIM FOR IT..........SOME OF US CANNOT COMPROMISE ON CERTAIN ISSUES, I HIT THE JACKPOT WITH MY FIRST HUSBAND OF 26 YEARS , AND THEN HE DIED. THE SEARCH CONTINUES.......THANKYOU FOR YOUR INTEREST AND COMMENTS I APPRECIATE THEM , AND YOUR CANDOUR.....SASKIA
COULD THAT BE THE PROBLEM THOUGH DO YOU THINK? THAT I LOOK PRETTY, ?? SHOULD I TAME THE LOOK DOWN A BIT SO MEN CAN THINK I CAN BE TAKEN CAMPING AND FISHING AND TO THE FOOTBALL? HELP ME HERE , I APPRECIATE YOUR HONEST FEED BACK. ALL PERSPECTIVES ARE WELCOME. I NEED TO KNOW .....SASKIA

Don't you put too much pressure on each one you meet by telling them about your bad dating experience? This can be a turn off, because, as odd as it might sound, no one wants to be the first clean guy in your life, especially after your 26 year marriage. That's too much of a responsibility, even greater for men, who are mostly turned on by visuals first and a glommy smile in the end. So, I would suggest to you not to be too deep on how much you have been looking for a serious relationship when dealing with those guys. They must always be the lucky ones if they manage to enchant you.
