BlainX: Again I'll repost statistics to quite those dissenters.
But if you're incapacitated and reduced to talking Bullock, then do help yourself!
No one is incapacitated here whatsoever. I am just stating that I think these kind of statistics are over rated, one must remember that in different countries there are completely opposite cultures to that of the west and in stateside. And statistics have proven to be unreliable and generalise. They are not definate facts.
Say for instance when they do a survey using 3000 people this does not represent the whole only a minority and a generalisation at its best, so further investigations and studies are required to establish concrete facts.
I haven't been on a romantic date since the fall of 2003, so yeah I think I have some reason to be just a bit ticked off at women in general at this point.

Since 2003?? Come on! You're on a dating site! Did you try to browse profiles and send a message to women or you just sit there and wait for someone to email you?? Maybe a lot of women in your state want to date you but they don't know how to rollerblade or they think you're too hot for them
This year, I only had 13 dates from Feb and the last one was last Nov. Ten first date, no second date, and one 3x dates. 6 from Craigslist, 2 from POF, 1 from Matchdoctor, and 1 from Okcupid. It means I don't date a lot. Relationship Expert said if you want to find someone you should date a lot at least once a week. I really don't understand why you can't find a date in your city.
scoutmaster: you are so right, I dont think I am angery with women in general. I have not been treated very good by a couple of ladies but that is not all women and it would be stupid to blame all ladies for what two bad eggs have done. I actualy know some very nice and wounderfull ladies, unfortunately they are all married.
Hi scoutmaster. Meant to answer you earlier but I took ill. Guess I have a bad reaction to sugar/chocolate. I too haven't been treated well by a few men. I know there are game players on this site but its just not the ladies like Michael says. It does seem most of the nice guys I meet are married as well. I know one guy that is a real sweetheart but his wife treats him terribly. She is bossy, demanding, and lazy. He just smiles and takes care of her. Now there is a loving husband. In my opinion, she doesn't deserve him but who am I to judge. I guess as long as they are happy that is all that matters.
There are 210 men per 100 women in United Aram Emirates (UAE) according to the Economist's pocket world in fgures 2009 edition. This is the worst ratio I've ever learnt so far. Wonder what the men do there :)
See I had a profile on PoF for over a year and never met a soul there either. I've also been on Matchdoctor before for over a year and never met a soul. I'm on Yahoo Messenger right now in fact, and Fubar, and MySpace, and FaceBook, and I've been on more than a dozen other social networking sites (Friendfinder, AmericanSingles, AOL's Love, Match, Matchmaker, Yahoo Personnals, and others I can't even recall the names of now). What can I say, it's not like I haven't tried repeatedly to put my best foot forward oh so many times now.... my foot aches at this point!
I ran out of good ideas years ago, honest. If I could just pack my bags up and move and knew where to move to where things would definitely be better then I would in a heartbeat!!! But I own my home here, have my development contracts with several large companies here, my family is all around here, and in this economy it's very difficult to uproot from all that and move somewhere else in the HOPE that things will be better there somehow! The risk is just so high today, and I'm not easily mobile having my furry kiddos and thousands of dollars in pen's built here... moving them alone would take months to accomplish!
I'm trapped, and frustrated and I've obviously said way too much today since I'm being called "negative" now on here.
Michael, this is my suggestion, try to communicate to women in another city or another state who are willing to relocate. I believe there's a lot of women who are still single and willing to relocate. You'll never know.
And I don't think you're being negative, you're just frustrated, depressed, and hopeless like me.

The problem is so hard to find someone to be friends first on line. How come some people find their mate in another state or country?? I've heard some people met on line and they lived in different countries, they communicate through email and phone, then one of them have to travel to meet. You don't want to do that, don't you? So find a girl who would be willing to travel to Houston to meet you.
I tried that too but didn't work for me. I can travel but didn't get to the point of meeting. I also prefer to meet and date local men as much as possible someone live close to me. But I also tried to communicate to some guys who lived 50 to 100 miles away but never met anyone. I even considered meeting men from another state like NJ, CT, and even FL but never get a chance to meet. They want me to travel and meet them in their city. I had a bad experience about traveling to meet someone, so I asked them to come to NY if they want to meet me and they don't want to. I guess you have to build a relationship first while communicating before you decide to travel and meet each other. That's what I think.

I think that is good advice and this is exactly what I am doing. Just had breakfast with a guy from another province; about 12 hours away. We seem to hit it off but time will tell. I too have a house, but if he is the right guy for me, I would gladly relocate. Its better than being here alone in Calgary.

Anything is better than living in Calgary, I lived there a dozen years ago.
It sounds like you are attracted and I do hope it works out well.
This would be one success story.
Thanks. It would be nice story for this forum. We are meeting again next Saturday as he comes into Calgary once a week. Way I figure, it doesn't hurt to try. Better than sitting at home feeling sorry for myself because I can't find someone here in Calgary.

Thanks, Michael said he can't find a date in Houston and he did everything that he can and he ran out of ideas already. So that's what I suggested.
By the way, that's a good news!! I'm happy for you. Hope that works for you!

Hey Navygirl,
Congratulations! That's a really good news! Maybe he's the one you're waiting for. What made you decide to talk and meet him? He's so far away from you. You are so right, it's better to meet someone far than sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself because you can't find someone in your city just like Michael
I would consider that also, meeting someone from another city or state, but not from another country. It does work to some people. If you have chemistry chances are you'll be inseparable and one of you have to relocate. And I believe most likely women are the one who relocate. Just like my mother, she lived 6 hrs dirve to my father's town and she relocate after they got married.
Michael211_2000: Oh and holidays are about the worst time of the year to be single, yet again. I've never had a girlfriend to shop for a Christmas gift for, or a Valentine's Day gift for either for that matter. It is depressing, with all the advertising on TV showing people shopping for their husdbands and wives and boyfriends and girlfriends... it's like sticking a hot poker into an open wound every time. I've always been on the outside looking in...
I find this to be about the most depressing time of the year in fact.
- Michael
Its very evident that this is a "bad time of year" for you .... its complaint after complaint in almost every post that you make. Its frankly off-putting that you have such a negative attitude and poor me attitude.
Perhaps you need to re-examine your checklist of what you seek - perhaps you are overlooking some wonderful people because you can't see beyond a few details.
Maybe you need a time out to get yourself in a better emotional state - negativity will only attract that to you. Get out and enjoy life - a happy person radiates this from within and it naturally draws people to you. Dwelling in gloom does the opposite.
I always thought in my age group the Woman would way outnumber the Men. Not true! seems to be heaps out their just a matter of finding the right one. Took my time! have to be sure as can be you know lol.It has been a lot of fun looking.But I think my search has come to an end, time will tell.
