After reading the threads and their replies on here..it got me to thinking...
What is up with all the men coming on here and saying what a wonderful catch they are and how they just want to find someone to settle down with etc etc....and then when they find a woman prepared to do exactly that...be with them (whether in the same state or not)...share her life with them...they turn around and start calling names..."gold digger" "cash strapped" "liar" "cheater" and the many other inventive names that men come up with....I know very well this happens to a few men on here as well...
What is everyone's opinion on what has been going on...and more recently it seems..
All of this coming out now pretty much shows the true colors of the offenders. Like it or not, that's how it's laid out. There's nothing left to mis-interpret in any form I feel. The games played could be out of boredom too, but I don't think that's really the case. If they're that bored, they're better off collecting dust in front of a TV unless they thrive on drama which I can see is quite apparent in a few.
I know who my friends are here and that's all that matters to me.
It really is disheartening to watch unfold...because for some of us who are on the brink of "taking chances" those women were inspirations for us to get up from behind the computer and grab life by its horns...but that was back when i believed dating sites were just that..."dating" sites....i honestly believed everyone wanted the same thing here...there are so many "intimate encounter" sites that it seemed a waste of time for "those people" to be on here...and then it does make you wonder if a "relationship" on here turns sour do you have to worry about having your "dirty laundry" hung out in the forums for all to see...
And by the way these are the same men that want women with "No Baggage"...where did they think we got that baggage in the first place...if not from men such as themselves!!

Yeah, and I also noticed (not just here) that the ones who have to go around proclaiming how 'nice' they are, are the ones who get really vindictive when you tell them you are not interested. (I never describe myself as 'nice')
This is an example of why I would not share too many personal items w/anyone I have met on a forum....after meeting several times in person....that might be different
One bad apple ruins the pie....no...how does that go?....Anyway guess my 101 Grandma was right on that saying....really makes it frustrating for the good apples....
You know I've been told by people on this site that I need to change my name, and I almost did, cause I'm new to this whole thing, but after thinking about it a little I decide, hell no I'm not going to change who I am for anybody except for me, and this is who I am, take it or leave it.
So why is it Some women come on here acting like they are talking to there soon to be ex husband? And when a nasty reply comes back at them they play the victom? Wikked I just read some from you bashing others, is it ok if you don't plan on dating them? When you point the finger at someone you have 3 pointing right back at you.
