felixis99: Actually I enjoy talking with people I have met here, male and female alike, who I enjoy as forum friends. Even were I in a relationship now, I 'd probably pop in to chat now and then

but not with cheeky Irishers


Hiya Felix...long time no see. wave If it weren't for forum friends, I wouldn't be here at all. Early on, I had my head in the clouds thinking a real relationship could develop but the clouds have cleared now. laugh

A "cyber" relationship isn't a relationship at all. Dating websites are platforms.

Goodfellas1: Alot of he women on dating sites are looking for someone to talk to and nothing more. They like there ego stroked.


I'm not sure all women want their ego stroked but when men chat you up they tend to use those one liners which lead to flirty talk.

I strongly believe that the majority of people on dating sites are lonely or why else would they waste valuable time going on blind dates that lead to nothing.

Distance makes a lot of follow up relationships impossible too.

Greenlake19: Some women may have forgotten to deactivate their profile. Others may have reactivated it after a break up. Online dating may lead to shorter relationship as a new contact can be only a few clicks away.



Some men too. Others are only insisting and insisting where they've already failed. Online dating is not working, it is disappointing and it takes too much time to other useful activities.wine

Some strange sort of platform, like the most of this kind of dating platforms I do not believe in Interesting polls and people to speak with. Curiosity of reading some profiles but nothing more.

You mean in the forum,,?
Almost all dating sites have space for forums, and dating could be done by private messages.
Forum is discussion, idea sharing, and dating could not be in a forum,,
too open, but it gives you an idea of whom you will be dating to, just in case you fall for someone who participate often in the thread.

Most women like men are not looking for a cyber-relationship, whatever that could be?

Hugging your computer screen?

I wonder if a cyber-relationship will make you happy.

I think it's better to step outside the dating world, if it has gone that far...

I know cyber-relationship is not for me..

Good luck to all of you, I truly hope you all will find someone out there in the cyber world..

I think through cyber world, we are the one making sort of "illusion" about other side, based on conversation, jokes, other side stories....We might, or might not include some emotions in cyber relations but most likely we include some emotions as well.
Then all of us have some expectation, as much as we try to suppress it they are there! In the case of cyber relation when it comes from cyber to real - there is a confrontation between "illusion", "expectation" and what we really are (and what other side really is).

After reading the posts in this thread, am I right in assuming that many women have worked hard over the years to get men to be what they wanted, and now that the majority of men are just that...these women are now wanting a different type of man instead? confused

Someone please tell me that my assumptions are incorrect! doh blues

Women like to talk and the fact that they're more imaginative with a looser grip on reality means they embrace most forms of escapism, cyber or otherwise, more deeply than men do. Life is a dream.

Of course not all women feel the same about it, but I have seen way too many posts over the years that suggests otherwise. Seen the same in day to day life as well. Just sayin' comfort hug

I wasn't taking offense hug for the most part I was agreeing with your assumptions!

If you're with someone and you're wanting them to be something they're not... aren't you just with the wrong person? confused Or is it the "grass is always greener" syndrome in work?

Exactly! You hit it on with "aren't you just with the wrong person?" in such situations.
I'm thinking that there's plenty of guys getting confused as to who they think they should be; 'macho man' 'bad boy' 'good guy' 'lover boy'...etc. because of what they've been told or asked of by so many different women.

I tend to be all of those combined in my own little way, but I'm not out to impress anyone. Take me as I am or find another that's to your liking, I say. grin
