jlb684: I wasn't originally here for forums because I didn't even know they existed until some time after I had already been on this site for awhile. Now, however, that's about all I do here...go to Forums. I don't search profiles, though I might occasionally check out a profile of a forum poster.
At the beginning on here to find a man..found weasels instead , then decided only wanted to be on the forums... I came across "him indoors" on the forums, we got a chatting ..now full circle just on the forums for a natter to chill my brain out at the end of the day
woody636: Just curious? How come? Bad experience online??
Actually, no. I haven't had any BAD experiences, though they haven't all been particularly great, either. Same as for most people, I think.....some good, some so-so, some you'd just as soon forget. But I'm not searching profiles and trying actively to connect with someone here because of 3 things: 1. My location. Most CSers are far away from me and my job keeps me abroad. It's not just a matter of moving to another state for me if I found love; I would have to quit a job I love and which is offering me security in my life, which is very important to me after previous upheavals and struggles. I wouldn't take such a step lightly, and chances are great that I wouldn't even consider it. I would probably insist on a man making all the changes and adapting to MY life, traveling around the globe with me. Not too many men would choose to do that, and I can't blame them.
2. There are Greek men on this site, but the vast majority are a good deal younger than me. Greek men my age are not typically Internet active and I'm not going to date men half my age....most who contact me are between 23 and 28!!
3. Although I don't have a relationship (haven't met that special someone), I do enjoy a good social life. I do meet men and I date and so I am not feeling as great a need to search online as I did when I signed up here; I didn't know many people here then, but since that time I have met a fair amount of people and I get introduced to men now, so I'm content with the real-life situation. Having said that, I leave my profile active because one never knows.....
I am here because I am a hopeless romantic and have not given up on somewhere out there in this vast cyber space is a guy for me. But I also don't look near as often as I used to and don't get many flowers or messages either. In the meantime I really enjoy the forums and will be here as often as possible.
although im not here just for the forums i love the forums its my little window that lets me peek out of my personal nuthouse and i get to look at the really nice nuthouse across the street .
