There are billions of people in the world, yet here we are alone! I wonder why, because the majority of us seem to be quite decent people. Any thoughts........
When I was 19 I had an affair with a 40 year old woman. She was beautiful, much like yourself. There is no doubt that there are younger men that just want to get laid, but there are also the ones that appreciate the beauty of an older woman. So, some are dogs but others are giving you a compliment. Too bad that it is so hard to figure out which is which.
It seems that most of the decent people responded to this post. Thanks for the encouragement, but I have given up on sorting through the dishonest folks and the ones that become nasty. As an aside, there are also women on these sites that can be quite rude and disrespectful.
All the best to all of you who have replied, but seriously, you just made my point - Innocence has been lost!
First of all, I am a genuinely decent guy. I already know that no one knows that, but I took a chance on internet dating about 3 years ago. I met a woman and we saw each other for about a year before parting. After that, I took a break from the sites, and when I came back it was much different.
Most recently, I sent a pic and innocuous emails (actually they were just funny, light-hearted, and with no expectations) to two different women. They read the emails (two emails to one, three emails to the other), but never responded. It was obvious that I piqued there interest, as all five emails were read, but there was no response, despite the fact that I said I would not be offended if they were not interested.
The obvious response to to my question is that "They were not interested". However, I read my emails to a couple of female friends and they were astounded by the fact that I was so nice (and funny) yet didn't even get a "no thanks" reply.
HERE IS MY QUESTION!
If you sign up on a site like this, read two or three emails from someone, but can't even be gracious enough to say "no thanks", what the heck are you doing on this site?
I have heard all of the drivel about the married men, dogs and psychopaths on these sites, but it sure leaves the innocent guys, like me (and many others), in a deficit position.
There is a woman who is a friend of mine on this site, but we live too far away to date. Despite that fact, we still treat each other with dignity and respect. I don't use this site for dating, but it appears the same as the others.
I don't have a problem with folks who want to chat on Forums, nor those that want to have a few internet friends. But if you put yourself up for dating, there should be some respect and decorum, despite the fact that there are people that are less than honest.
As a result of the above-mentioned testimony, I have given up on these sites because even when you are honest and just looking to get to know someone, you are treated with disrespect.
As a result, these sites turn into a "whine-fest".
I met a woman in the real world, and we have emailed and then talked on the phone. We are very interested in each other. What are the pitfalls or things to look out for? Anyone have this experience?
My ex had post-partum depression and it took her a while to get on the right meds. No shame in that! But Chris makes a good point, so many go to a doctor for a pill, rather than trying to find an alternative. Although this was not your experience, there are many who do this, and it happens to kids as well.
Many folks with Bi-Polar disorder are diagnosed and improperly medicated during the depressive phase. On average, it takes 11 years for them to be diagnosed properly, and then prescribed the right meds, it happened to my mother.
So the seven dwarfs go to a convent in Newfoundland. Dopey knocks on the doors and asks mother superior if there are any dwarf nuns in Newfound, and she says, No Dopey there are no dwarf nuns in Newfoundland.
The next day, Dopey knocks on the door again and asks the mother superior if there are any dwarf nuns in all of Canada. She replies that there are no dwarf nuns in all of Canada.
On the third day, Dopey shows up at the convent, knocks on the door and asks mother superior if there are any dwarf nuns in North America. She replies that there are no dwarf nuns in all of North America, and the other six dwarfs start laughing and singing......
