Recently there seems to be a lot of threads with people complaining that even though they are decent, honest, not into head games etc...they just can't seem to meet equally decent folks here on CS. Why can't all these decent people meet and make a connection? Some have taken the more direct approach with threads practicaly screaming "Take me I'm available!"
Why does it have to be that way? Are the expectations too high, Distance to find love too far to travel? Cultural differences too difficult to put aside? What's the problem? Perhaps the answers lay not with CS but on the inside, what do you want and why can't you find it? Perhaps all it takes is leaving your comfort zone a little and reaching out to someone you would not normally have contacted, sometimes you never know where a thing could lead. The important thing is to never give up though, I believe love is still out there.

To be honest, the decent ones i would date, are too far away, and the other ones i think are genuinely nice, can never be anything more to me, than friends. I love them as friends, but there is no chemistry.
I have also realised that, most men who bug me, are either broke, or just exude/ carry too many issues with them, namely:
1. Baby mamas' drama 2. Boredom 3. Many babies 4. Joblessness 5. Weirdness 6. Peculiar weirdness 7. Bankruptcy 8. More boredom 9. More Bankruptcy 10. Weird peculiarity 11. The 'really not my type' category ( no attraction of any sort, be it, emotional, intellectual, or physical). *Refer to nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10*. 12. Finally, there are those who really can't spell, and i can't tell what they're saying, half the time.
Everybody is searching for Mr or Mrs Right. People don't want to get involved with someone because they think that there's always going to be something better to come along and they don't want to settle for ordinary or average. As you mentioned, distance is also a very big deterant as is religeon, political leanings and financial considerations. How many profiles have you seen (mostly womens) that mentions the guy should be gainfully employed cause they aren't about to support a a man (been there done that). I can't remember ever seeing a mans profile that demanded the woman have a job but I don't make a habit of reading mens profiles either. Smoking is another issue. Many non smokers will not date a smoker, period. Then there's age. Too many people take the age bracket that people put in their profile way to literally. I think it's merely a starting point. Then too there is the confidence issue. She's so beautiful she could get any man, what would she want with me, and vice versa. Then there's the issue of kids and pets. I could go on.

Lush, you slay me! I agree that the connection must be on many levels, though, for it to work. Hang in there...he'll come along someday someway. And stay picky...you should get what you need.

Yes, i believe he will. Anything but a 'ahjj#"!sd alkeh)&¤ba akwoewklef ?++Å?? sbhh2 282#%%¤t iwu/((&)' guy.
Personally I think the men are looking for hotties and the older they get they live in a fantasy world! Older women are not as exciting, oh well.....I don't find older men who are walking around with a big beer belly much of a catch anyway! I'm just looking for a nice, decent man, no weirdo's.
