Some people on here have long term, for a relationship

Does anyone that does have that on their profile find that,
On that journey ,the little detours every now and again, are very
interesting, exciting and informative, chatting with lots of different
people from all walks of life, with different and interesting stories
to tell, giving credence to the saying,, "its the journey and not the
destination that is important" Just wondering!!

I haven't come across all this ridiculous expectations and misery , I have to say.

but I have no doubt that some people out there do expect internet dating to be some kind of magical place where they will find somebody they would never attract in real life - ridiculous expectations.

Maybe when they come across the reality of their situation, this is where the misery kicks in?

Life is too short to be going around miserable.

Maybe some people have been hurt in the past and are catiouspeace

I hear you, JJ. However: (commence lecture)

People at our age have been around the block a few times; we're battle scarred, weary, tired, and jaded - and probably a hell of a lot more cautious than we once were. We'd like to be young, free and single - but we're not. We're older, hurt, and cast aside, be it through choice or otherwise.

Define ridiculous expectations? Is it that we are less likely to tolerate stress and drama, now that we are back in the driving seat of our lives? There is a lot of drama on here, I grant you that - from the depraved, to the depressed, and even the psychotic. But we are all on here for some form of company, and if Ms or Mr Right happens along, that's great.

This is not normal life - this is virtual reality. People say things and behave on here possibly not as they would face-to-face.

One guy had on his profile - this is my first time, please take it easy on me! Which goes to show what preconceptions there are about internet dating.

If you are lucky enough to meet up with someone, and it clicks, then this place recedes into a pass-time, and not the focus of your life.

I personally don't think I'll meet my own Mr Right on here, but one never knows. There are one or two who have potential, but I'm not holding my breath, because Time is necessary for something to develop, and Time is not a commodity most people afford you these days.

It does happen if they're easy enough.

I got lots of offers of 20 year olds and I'm not naive enough to think that they didn't try it with everyone under the age of 70.

Let them off. dunno

I have friends, a good social life etc. so I don't need CS to chat to interesting people, I do that in RL. dunno

I want someone to share my life with eventually and I don't look on CS for himself.

A lot of guys have long-term on their profile hoping that women will chat to them, but are only looking for a leg-over. dunno I fully agree on the honesty part and that's why I'm not looking on here, although I meet a lot of these chancers in RL as well. I just don't waste my time on them there.

As to your last sentence, I know JJ and I drew my consequences from that. conversing
