Ya know, alot of those "beautiful souls" may actually be gay men... yeah, good luck with that!
I posted a m4w personals ad on the Houston Craigs List Saturday evening, and the only 2 real responses (ie. not fake scammers trying to get me to go to other websites) in the past 24 hours have been... men. 1 wanted me to sleep with his wife and the other was errrr, gay.
So if you're going to try to claim that only a person's "inner beauty" should count, then there're alot of lonely but I'm sure "beautiful" gay men who would probably love to meet ya! Good luck!
Ok you can't "convince" yourself (or anyone else for that matter) to fall in love. You're either attracted to somebody on all levels (ie. mind body and soul) or you're not and you might just make very good friends but never anything more.
Quit stressing over this guy... and, don't spend eons talking to somebody you've never met (or never at least seen reasonably current pics of). That is your only fault in this as I see it... you fell for somebody without getting the "full picture".
Give yourself permission to NOT be head-over-heels for this guy, and move on. Maybe be friends with him though, as everybody can use more of those... but don't settle for what's not quite right for you. You deserve better than that, and so does he actually.
Work on MY pics and profile? Have you looked at the gal's pics and profiles lately?
Now not all are THAT bad, but far too many ARE that bad. So many have poorly focused pics, pics with ex's in them, pics that aren't even OF themselves, profiles that say only, "I just want a good man who'll take care of me this time," etc. etc. etc.
You should give some advice to the gals for a change!
I go a-rating periodically when there's nothing else going on... I prefer to rate pics a 10, or just skip to the next pic. Mostly I just rate pics a 10 though cause honestly if you have the guts to put your photo on here then Kudos to you IMHO you're a 10!
I have friends, actually. Some are women, but none are single; everyone is married. Nobody I know knows any single gals around here that they'd even consider setting me up with... I've asked. From drugs to excessive drinking to obsesity to living with their ex's for pete's sake... it's like, Craigs List really DOES mirror real life somehow! Who knew?
No, not even short-term. Dates are very very rare, often with years going by without a single dinner and movie date.
I've been called "too negative" (among other things!) on here by some people... what do they think I got this frustrated with the situation overnight or something?
I will add this as my own somewhat unsual observation the night before the Haitian earthquake occurred... I stepped out of the house around midnight to feed my kiddos (they are nocturnal), the sky was VERY clear and way up high there were these strange bright pink clouds floating overhead. This was around midnight mind you, and I've never seen such rosey pink clouds in the night sky before like that... I live away from city lights, and these clouds were wayyyy up high so I just can't see lights from the ground causing this effect. The next afternoon that earthquake ripped across Haiti. Weird coincidence huh?
ps. There is a very similar slip-fault that runs thru the Heartland country of the United States... St. Louis sits almost smack in the middle of the thing. It hasn't slipped in around 200 years now, so when it finally does it's going to be one heck of a doozy! Last time it slipped the area was sparsly populated and the people fled in terror as sand guyers erupted and the ground for many miles subsided (ie. sank)... church bells as far away as New England rang due to that earthquake. The Liberty Bell cracked. It WILL happen again!
I don't really care for the taste of alcholic beverages myself, though the occassional glass of White Zimfindail (sp?) in the hottub late at night is ok. Ergo, I'd have more concerns regarding dating somebody who likes to get "wasted"...
It's unlikely that I'd get along well with somebody who likes to drink A LOT.
The converse happens as well... I met a "divorced" gal at The Olive Garden in Humble Tx for lunch once. Well 1st, she'd seriously understated her weight it struck me... eeek!
A few weeks later I get this phone call from some guy wanting to know how I knew his wife... yeah, it was her husband going thru the detailed phone bill calling all the numbers he didn't know (apparently, there were quite a few).
Sounds like she prefers the "skinny emo dude" type body style... since you have some muscles, that might make you "too masculine" for her tastes. There's nothing wrong with that mind you!
If in doubt about what she meant, why not just ask her outright? Only she knows what she truely meant. We're all just guessing here.
Actually it's more like the other way around... when I search CS for women within 100 miles of my location, even with only just the most essential search criteria (not exluding smokers for example, even though I really wouldn't want to ever kiss a woman who smokes... nasty habit that!) CS still comes up with a whopping 11 profiles. And most of those 11 women are way out near the 100 mile radius... kinda difficult to drive that far to meet up for dinner and a movie then drive back home with today's gas prices. And I don't like long road trips!
Then there's the fact that out of those 11 women's profile CS comes up with, I don't meet most of their criteria (for distance mostly).
Ergo, there's really not any choice here... the single men outnumber the single women by far.
No, you're not wrong. Now you know why she's single.
It seems like the assumption is that it's always the man's fault, that he cheated or drank exessively or abused her or whatever, and that the woman broke up with and left him. Well that's not always true... there are some pretty crappy women in the world as well!
It's sad that she has a daughter, because she'll never change and her daughter will likely grow up to follow in her mother's footsteps continuing the cycle.
It was getting aweful ugly, wasn't it? I don't quite understand why people have to get so hateful like that... I've been the target of quite a bit of hate on here myself. As if being single and on CS isn't bad enough without having people cussing you out in the forums? Geez!
No offense to the site owners mind you... the site is well designed and remarkably bug free. It's just that a dating site where you don't find any dates is kinda... depressing.
Funny, that's what I thought when I was 19... get good grades, earn my college degree, buy and pay for a nice house and vehicles... nobody knocking down my door here I can assure you hun.
It's not that women are so picky, it's that they're constantly picking the worst of the male species... having children with those men... then wondering why the men they've chosen treat them so poorly. This isn't my fault, I didn't do it! I've been single and looking the ENTIRE time you gals were with Mr Wrong.
Which leaves a guy like myself... well, very lonely and depressed at this point in life. I've been told that I'm just not dating material now that I'm in my late 30's and never married... like this is somehow my fault.
I've asked for help (friends, family, doctors, coworkers, fellow flying club members, accountant, lawyer, hair stylist. etc. etc. including on here), but all I get is criticism instead... yes I already KNOW that I'm looking for love in all the wrong places! Geez! It doesn't matter what profile pic I use, or what I say in my profile write-up or in messages I occassionally still send out in vain on CS... I'm not the problem here!
Not ALL of us have had children, or want to date women who have children or have had children. Some of us would like to come 1st in somebody else's life, and not 2nd or 3rd to children fathered with Mr. Wrong.
I want a woman to play frisbee with on the beach, go boating and waterskiing with, spend cold winter nights by the fireplace watching movies together, rollerblading at area parks and ATV'ing along nature trails and such. Why is this such a bad thing?
I may not be as wealthy as Tiger Woods, but I'm a damned better catch than he'll ever be.
