Quote From: jadedmanI'm a 38 year old single man who has never been married. I've been looking and waiting TWENTY YEARS for the right woman and haven't found her yet.
For all of you out there who are wondering, I can say from experience that online dating and dating services in general are a big SCAM. You send them your pic, profile, and money, then you NEVER GET PICKED.
If we Americans had any sense, we'd put some of these abandoned business suites to good use, by turning them into "free neighborhood singles' centers", so we single people wouldn't have to figure out how to play a bunch of stupid games.
Please don't feel sorry for me if you read this. I'll be glad if I steered just one person away from falling for these crooked cash mill dating services that prey on lonely people. I might still be lucky enough to meet my soulmate someday, but if I do, I can say straight out that it's not going to be the healthiest relationship possible. Too much trust has been destroyed for me to ever have a truly normal, loving relationship with a partner.
It's a shame you are this angry-I was there a few days ago and I still get that way from time to time. No, this country doesn't care about it's lonely people or anything else for that matter. All anyone here cares about is money. We live in a shallow world, and I have just decided to do the best with it. I have been taken from those dating things too, but I have just decided to concentrate on the things I find important-my family, my animals, and making my corner a better place. I do think that at our age it is a lot harder, but you know what? Having been in a miserable marriage in the past, you're really not missing anything. It's better to be single than put up with that crap. I know very few marriages that are truly happy-and they have times where they want to kill each other. The fairy tale marriage of being happy does not exist. How can two genders who are so different ever get along and live together? That is one question I still don't get. Dr. Phil's book has a lot of good pointers in it, but for me, it's just not that important anymore. Concentrate on the friends and maybe sometime there will be a special someone who will come into your life. But, don't take it out on her-she is just as confused and angry as you are-that is what I have learned from this site. Making her "suffer" could destroy something potentially beautiful
By the way, I used to live in Cali myself-what part are you from?
