Believe me, I have no eyes for anyone else! But we enjoy posting occasionally, when we are hanging out together sometimes, and we always will, as long as we enjoy it.
We have all been through hurts and pain and broken relationships, or at least alot of us have here. The important thing to retain is that hope, and positive outlook. Paramount..
I thank you for your constructive input to the thread..
I dont believe anyone is a failure on the dating stakes!! Good God, I was lining up the Prozac at one point there!! I simply think that some (and I am not at all relating this to anyone!) come into it with a built in sceptisism that does, and will not help with being "successful".
As I say, Ginger, I do appreciate your posts, and always will.
As regards this particular comment, yes, only a fraction of the whole membership of CS post on the forums. They are OBVIOUSLY the only ones I am pertaining to in my OP. I certainly do not know what non-posters think!!
My viewpoint is taken from what I see on the forum, along with other posters who mirror my views.
The general sceptism I see is posted on here, time and time and time again. It is very common, in lots and lots of posts.
As regards your comment on my needing to "review my initial post", the OP is the OP. Sematics is not the issue; the general topic for discussion is, which, as I say, is one that rears its head on here day after day. I do not need to "look at a broader view of this dating site"; however, some perhaps do. That is the point of the thread.
Thank you, Ginger. I do appreciate your posts, because I find your view point of value.
I am not keen, however, your useage of the terms "spelling it out", and "I repeat"..I am no idiot, unintelligent person, neither am I a novice when it comes to CS. Please do not patronise me, because thats what it sounds like to me.
Yes, true. But as Ive said, this thread was a general subject which I found interesting. It is OTHERS who seem to think I had alterior motives, and that irritates me.
Im a little sad that this thread seems to be thought of as a "Brag". It not. Does this mean that I cannot post anymore, for fear of it being thought of as such? This thread is not about me! Its about the amount of general sceptism on online dating sites.
Im sorry, Ginger, I am lost..there is no second side to this thread. This thread is not about me and Jesse. I have a mind of my own, and still post subjects as I find them interesting.
I was simply doing just that.
I was on CS for a year before I found some happiness. So, Im certainly not a newbie!! Thats the reason I posted the thread, to find out why, or if some choose to use excuses to take risks, which I believe some do. It had nothing to do with my own personal circumstances, and I choose to post as I see fit, with my own, very intelligent mind.
The main reason I posted this thread was because I have always, ever since joining CS, had a positive and open attitude toward meeting someone. It was my reason for joining in the first place. I too had to wait many months to meet my Mr Right, going through frustration and disappointment. But I always kept an open mind, and a positive outlook.
Some dont seem to have that attitude, and it surely doesnt bode well for the future. That was my point in the thread.
This is a subject that I have pondered on for many months, to be honest, after seeing some people's attitudes. Im sure alot of others wonder about it too.
It was a thread I decided to post, not down to any other person, and I was genuinely interested in replies, is all..
Not at all, Ginger...I noticed this a long time ago, this negative attitude. Irrespective of my own personal circumstances.
It seems that once one is "hitched", one is not entitled to post, it seems..
My thread is a subject I find interesting, again, irrespective of my own personal circumstances, and one that I think many others can relate to, as can be witnessed by the previous posts..
As you stated in your profile that you are only looking for friends and penpals, then I can accept that post!! Dont agree with it, personally, but each to their own. At least you are honest about your requirements from the site.
Its the ladies and gentlemen that come on here and state they are looking for love and/or a future partner that then are extremely sceptical about the whole online thing that confuse me.
