This is unreal and I can't for the life of me understand why.

I have profiles on few other dating sites and after spending a little while on them I become so cynical I can't stand my self. I start to loath women and dating. I'm serious about finding love. Successful relationship I did have ware instigated online, however never on a dating site. This place on the other hand levels me out. Is it the people or my own state of mind?

I also have had no luck on the dating sites and sometimes wonder if it is just a place to cheat for those already in relationships. Possibly shopping for replacements? While I am not looking for a long term relationship, I believe that is something that comes when you are not looking so hard. I find it difficult to show who you really are and also makes me question how honest people are in their depictions of themselves.

I'm not cynical. Yet. But I'm of the mind set that there seems to be so many scammers or people who just want a fling or cheaters as the above poster said. I've been unfortunate enough to find so many people who are not who they profess to be in their profiles. I'm learning how to close up in order not to give out TMI on myself.
The main focus for me now is just intercting in the forums here and at another date site I am on. At the very least I have "met" some really fantastic people who I have either met in person or communicate with via email, etc. It's all in perspective now, otherwise I'd be cynical instead of just cautiously optimistic.

hmmm very unique combo... laugh


The reason this place levels you out, IMO -

it's purely digital dating, so you don't feel threatened anyone would insist on roll eyes actually meeting you - heart wings very relaxing place dancing

I second that. That hardest obstacle to finding romance is getting over oneself...so to speak. And for some of us that's such a terribly hard thing to do... blushingconfused laugh

I am kinda getting there my self. I have been on here on and off because I get discouraged. I have met some people but things never go anywhere, not sure if I am just looking for the wrong guys or what. Keep your head up, I am sure there is someone out there for you just as there is bound to be someone out there for me. :) good luck.

Dude, that's how I feel too. I feel like I would have better luck finding a good person on a non dating site.

I think it's more to do with our Expectations.......If we enter a Dating site with the sole purpose of finding someone, we may be dissapointed.....
I really enjoy this site and have met some great people and I think it will happen for me......I am just being myself and having fun and am not hung up on whether I meet someone or not..

I always enjoy your humour bud.......

cheers
