 Quote From: kwindshawn Thanks for the encouragement. I am really angry right now about the way men are. I have done the online dating thing, and you know what? As soon as you send a pic, they disappear. So that tells me a lot about men in general. You men who rely on looks only, deserve to be alone. Unfortunately, it seems to me 95% of them think that way and the other 5% are married. Not much to look forward to for the rest of us huh? After crying the first few weeks, I am now extremely angry about the cards I have been dealt. I am wishing to be proven wrong someday, however I have lost almost all hope. It would be nice to find that special relationship, but I think it is a myth.....
By the way, I have read the love smart book, and maybe I'm stupid, but I just don't get it..... I'm a 45 year old not bad looking guy who has been searching the online dating sites for several years because I live in a remote area and single women my age here are virtually extinct.
I can assure you it is NOT just men who are shallow and rely on looks only. Read some of the women's ads, for example. They want "Must be 5' 10" or tallerl", "blonde hair, blue eyes"", "slim and muscular body" - I had one girl I contacted write back to tell me I'm 5'8" and she's 5'7" but in heels she's 5'10" and couldn't handle being with someone shorter (hadn't even sent her my photo!). Another lost interest in me because I said I didn't like Madonna!
More times than I can remember, I've had women stop communicating with me as soon as they receive my picture - I wouldn't say I'm a Brad Pitt, but then I'm definitely NOT a Marty Feldman or Quasimodo. Some, I'd been e-mailing back and forth regularly for as long as three months then I send the pic and never hear from them again .
I had one who I wrote to several times then during one MSN session she had to go - HER HUSBAND JUST CAME HOME AND SHE HAD TO MAKE SUPPER!
The majority I have had communications with seem to only want someone to chat with and not a relationship as they claim - they only write every couple of weeks or are very brief - sending one or two sentence e-mails, avoid answering questions about themselves in any detail but want to know EVERY detail about me, want my photo but avoid my requests for theirs and in a couple of cases that seemed promising, wanted to meet me but dodged every time I tried to set something up. .
I know there are nice, honest women out there who aren't shallow or superficial just as there are men - the only problem is finding them!
