No I don't post hints, besides I'm the wrong age... location might be favorable, but I'm about a decade outside her preferred age range as I just mentioned above.
With so many more single men than single women around here, I just take exception to any woman from this area complaining about having problems meeting men here... the numbers are already severely stacked in the gal's favor! I'd LOVE to have a problem like that! Walk a mile in my shoes.
There's 70,000 MORE single men than single women in the Houston Metro area (according to the CBS evening news a few years ago)... pick 1! With numbers like these if a woman can't find a really good guy to date then something's wrong with her, cause there are way too many single guys available around here.
Ocean, I haven't forgotten your posts jumping all over another CS member for his poor spelling/grammer, while making spelling and grammar mistakes yourself.
You've improved your spelling and grammar somewhat apparently, but you're still criticizing others unnecessarily. Be your own worst critic for a change, stop criticizing others and then you can spend more time fixing your own problems. My profile picture is of absolutely no concern to YOU. Try improving your own profile pic for a change... yes you too have room for improvement, Ocean.
Uhhhh, how many of those are married? Or in a relationship already? Or pregnant? Or obese? Or pot-heads? If you do the math you'll find there's FAR fewer dateable women around here than you think.
And then there's that CBS Evening News story about there being over 70,000 MORE single men than single women in the Houston Metro area... if you're (a human) dying for a drink of water, being in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean does you no good at all! Water water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
Do ya'll think I make this cwap up or something? I'm not a hermit you know! I hit the Walmart twice a week, the mall every couple weeks usually, had a Bally's Gym membership but never met a soul there (plenty of single men at the gym... most single women don't work-out though I've learned), etc. etc. etc.
I really don't appreciate undeserved and unwarranted criticism ya'll!
Ocean, I *work* on this computer it's how I make a living thank you very much! I have a damned good reason for being on the computer most every day... I'm a software developer! Hello, here's your sign! Why are YOU on the computer hmmm?
I should have been a rock star, single women go ga-ga over rock stars. Or maybe a golfer, Tiger Woods sure has had no shortage of good dates, and probably never will. Ughhh!
Hottub, on the backporch, fireplace in the living room. No need for a shirt unless I'm cutting firewood or something out in the yard. But thanks for your concern.
I live very near the north side of Houston, and there's over 70,000 more single men than single women in the Houston Metro Area according to the local CBS News. The numbers are just dismal to say the least.
No not because you're ugly, but because you're male and women on here don't seem to like males very much IME.
Mine's off cause people thought I was ignoring them... I often leave CS on while I'm away from the computer for a bit. Also I far prefer the Yahoo Messenger chat program over anything else I've ever tried (including the CS IM applet).
If somebody want's to chat me, they can message me and tell me their Yahoo ID and I'll get back with them. I'm not holding my breath, though... this is CS after all.
They call CS a dating site why again? I keep forgetting.
While I think you had every right to feel deceived and to turn right around and leave on the spot, I do think the phone call to her afterwards pretending to be unable to make the "date" was a little... uhmmm, not too smart.
2 wrongs don't make a right, and to think she wouldn't recognize you after you'd sent her very current pics of yourself... no, not too smart that.
The thing to do (yes hindsight is 20/20) would have been to say simply "I didn't recognize you, you look totally different than your pic" and THEN turn and walk out the door... don't answer her calls, and block her online. She knows what she was pulling, she doesn't need any explanation from you whatsoever!
And yes people both men (I'm told) and women (I've experienced!!!) pull these sorts of stunts... I've had more than 1 "date" where I honestly couldn't have picked the gal out of a lineup based on her online pic for a million bucks! Actually, I think in at least 1 case the woman in the pic online wasn't the same person I met at the restaurant...
Why is it that in almost every instance, the person I end up meeting at the restaurant is a total disappointment from the instant we say "Hi"? I should just go out and find bag ladies under bridges and take them out to eat, it'd be about the same thing I swear!
And some people wonder why I come across as a little on the negative side these days...
Do you have to pay women to go out to dinner and a movie these days? I was just looking at CraigsList Men seeking Women ads this time to see what other men were saying on there, and a suprising number were offering monthly salaries for ... well, a regular dinner and movie date type thing? One was offering $4500 a month for somebody to go out with regularly... is that what it's come to around here?
I'm sure the offer is only good for women who are fairly fit and probably don't have children... but still. This is crazy I swear.
Yeah I get that alot. And I wish I was single, and I wish I lived on your side of the planet, and I wish I lived closer to your state even occassionally... but, that's all I ever get. Which is why I'm feeling so very frustrated yet again tonight...
CS is a dead-end IMHO. I've been on here and active on the CS forums for over 2 years now... and this is pointless.
I know way too many bad ways to not meet people... so what are some good ways then? It seems like all the good ones really are all taken, as far as I can tell.
I just sitting here tonight reading CraigsList personnals yet again for the Houston area and feeling a bad anxiety attack coming on from the really crappy Women Seeking Men ads on there.
There really aught to be a better way than this, cause this just suxs. I'm so tired of all the BS, the people who can't spell worth a darn (and I sucked at high school and college English classes, but I can at least spell better than the average 5th grader!), women with no personality to speak of ("I just want somebody to take care of me"), preggo's (CL is just loaded with those all seeking "a good guy this time, one who will stick around for the birth"), single mom's galore, and obsesity (sorry but that's just not attractive or healthy IMHO)... there's got to be more than this!
Told ya, anxiety attack coming on here...
Oh and I just got a Message on CS, from a really cute gal telling me she wants to "communicate" with me at her .ru e-mail address...
Well that's just Prime!
This just makes me sick I swear.
It never seems to end... year after year after year after year!
I do often think that people on these dating/social networking sites are far too cerebral. There's nothing wrong with being a little shallow (if you want to call it that)... seeing somebody you think is nice looking and wanting to meet them and find out if the inside is as nice as the outside is.
There is a point at which cancelling at THE LITERAL LAST MOMENT is akin to getting stood up... if you're already at the restaurant waiting for her when she calls your cell to cancel, then yeah you been stood-up IMHO.
Yes it's happened to me several times. Go ahead and order something if you're hungry, eat pay and leave. Don't make any more dates with that woman! She's a waste of your time and money.
Unless there's a damned good excuse like somebody died perhaps, then there is no good reason for you to be stood up like that (and they better be able to give you the name of the deceased person and you should be able to find that name in the obituaries!).
Yes I am offended, and you can't even spell "sorry" right. Who are you to decide what I have coming anyhows? Did somebody die and appoint you God? I don't think so bub.
You intentionally and directly made an enemy. Good luck with that.
Spelling is important if you're going to criticize somebody else's education level on a public forum, bub. I sucked at high school and college English classes, it was a struggle... but I can at least read and spell above a 5th grade level!
I don't normally get irate with anybody on here, but you call MY education level into question... with all your mispellings and crap? No, I just don't think so!
I think you and those 300lbs women have more in common than you realize. You deserve them, they deserve you. A match made in Heaven! Good luck with that.
Every Mr. Wrong you meet increases your odds (statistically speaking) of meeting Mr. Right. So congratulations, you're one man closer to meeting Mr. Right than you were before.
What? You think I don't read my own stuff? I spend entirely too much time going over every post I compose, reading and previewing and re-reading and playing devil's advocate and previewing yet again... some of my posts have taken up to half an hour to compose! (they need an emoticon of pulling-hair-out in frustration)
If a single woman were having problems getting dates with good men I'd give this advice without a second thought: Don't get knocked up with Mr. Wrong's love child (and if it's too late for that then she can quit reading right here cause I have no ideas then), don't smoke nobody wants to kiss an ashtray, don't do drugs (unless you want to date a dope dealer and get seriously messed up; I know women that have done that), move more and eat less (at least a little less, and make it better quality food; remember 1 in 3 Americans are medically obese and you don't want to be one of them)... do these things consistently for at least 6 months and then tell me men aren't going out of their way to meet you EVERYWHERE!
Then all she has to do, is choose well.
KISS. Can't make it any simpler or clearer than that. Don't get knocked up, don't smoke or do drugs, eat less and move more. 6 months at least though I'd suggest making it a lifelong lifestle thing really.
Now, I'm no hypocrit I try very hard to take good care of myself so what else?
ps. Alcoholic drinks are typically loaded with calories and nobody likes a whino so drink in moderation only ladies! You don't have to get wasted to have a good time! Enjoy who you're with, not what you're drinking.
No offense but can I get the English translation of what you just said?
One problem I've observed reading this and other dating/relating sites is that people get too philisophical sometimes. I can do logic ok, but I philosophy has never been my strong suite.
KISS... Keep It Simple, Silly (ok that's not really what the last S stands for but you get the idea).
What I need are #1 GPS coordinates where there's actually a decent ratio of single men to single women to be found and #2 something I can do and enjoy doing there so I don't feel like a fish out of water for a change. It'd be nice if the single women were actually nice friendly and personable, too. Yeah I know it's alot to ask for!

RE: Why Don't Men Post Their Pictures?
It doesn't matter what you think, you're in Arlington.And I really don't much care what anybody thinks anymore, there's nobody here for me anyways. How do I know? I've looked, for years already!
