The 'old and wise' shaking their heads in disbelief at the 'young and foolish'. It's a ritual that has been practiced since time immemorial.
Every generation makes their own rules, and the 'old school', having outdated values and beliefs, is clearly unable to embrace the present and unfortunately can do little more than sit around and reflect on the past.
I have to disagree on your statement; "And it is obvious women learn faster and adapt faster than men". It appears to be the women who are bewildered and confused by today's society.
You can change how you personally play the game, but society sets the rules
I'm not renown for compassion or sympathy (or even being remotely human for that matter), so my words of wisdom shouldn't come as any kind of shock.... GET OVER IT!
Thanks bbw, although I never really left. I just don't post as frequently as the regs. I most certainly will give them a run for their money, but I doubt that anything short of incarceration will be able to stop them running amok.
Women looking for nice guys will say 'where are they?' because they overlook them. A nice guy will tell them what they think, whereas a player will tell them what they want to hear. Now who do you think gets their attention!
Women are inquisitive creatures. They will want to see what you look like. Even if you don't put a pic up for the world to see, have one there that you can send to them after you have exchanged a couple of emails.
As for finding someone special, give it time. You're only in your early 20's, go out and enjoy yourself.
As for being cautious, be very cautious. There are a lot of messed up people online, and they aren't all male.
You're not the first to experience this, and I'm certain you wont be the last. I know that's cold comfort, but I'm not here to dish out sympathy... that's somebody elses job.
Consider this experience your 'baptism of fire' in the world of internet dating.
I'm not judging you for wanting a partner with a desirable income, lots of women choose their partners on that basis now. I'm just wondering why you wont admit that you are making the decision, of who you choose as a partner, based on money... not love.
I think that your gambling addicted, alcoholic, dole bludging low life is probably at the extreme edge of the spectrum. This is more about the average guy who is not well endowed financially and has a low paying job. Would a really nice guy be less appealing if he didn't earn much?

Some people think my views are 'a bit out there', but it takes all kinds to make a world.
