OK, here's my take on Online Dating
I really don't understand why or how people pay for these sites. I've always been against paying to meet someone, Or for better description, BEING IGNORED. I don't have to pay anyone to be ignored. I can do that all on my own for free. It's nothing more body warming then sending someone you see on a dating website a message " breaking the ice " and never getting a response. Hell some people even look at your picture and just delete the message, not even reading what you have to say. I'm a victim of it too, i'm not going to be pleasing to everyone's eye.
I just understand why those types of people are even on the sites. I mean I go to this free website Plenty of Fish, it's a free site, it's completely crazy. It's full of everyone that shouldn't be in the dating scene for the most part. Now i've run across maybe 1 person or 2 that have been pretty cool and made some friends on there. Tons of window shoppers per say. People who add you as a favorite and never contact you. What's with that ? I mean if I add you as a favorite, i'm contacting you to say hi. I mean for example, there's this one girl who's on the site, stating that she always dates the wrong guy, She's 5 months pregnant, the father of the baby isn't in the picture. Her last relationship only lasted 6 months. I mean COME ON ! hell, I'll find her and add a link to her profile... it's too damn funny and she's being for real real ! Here is the link.
Kinda makes me wonder why I should even try dating again. I mean my last girlfriend turned out to be a drug addict who took us for everything we had and then some, and we were together for 7 years. I'm just wondering if I missed some new dating rule in those 7 years about how things were going to be.
I'm a pretty self suffient guy, who can do everything himself, earning a nice income, with a pretty stable job, not too bad looking on the eyes, trying to change myself around, lose some weight. I'm working on it... lol I didn't gain it over night and i'm damn sure not losing it overnight either, but slowly but surely i'm getting there.
I'd like to think of myself as pretty normal dating material. I don't have any baggage, I'm not pressed being single.. I just get riled up over these dating sites. I think they're horrible... It gives ppl a chance to be completely rude to people, total strangers. I dunno.. I'm not a rude person I guess... NOT like that at least.

The thing I found to be interesting on there is that there are outright liars. Not just guys, but women. I was talking to this one girl who sounded cool, she gave me her email address and when I googled her, the first thing that came up was her myspace page. I went there, she's got blogs about her husband and their children and the fact that she's 5 months pregnant (and it's not like she just found out) and it's just insane! Her profile said she's single, no kids, etc etc. A total lie!
I checked you out on POF and then was forwarded to this site. I liked your smile.
It's really sad that people lie. I haven't had very good experiences on the dating sites myself - the guys are usually either looking for a supermodel or they're looking to get laid. Sorry, I'm not a supermodel. I'm not ugly though, I don't have kids, I'm not married, and I'm not after anything so I don't get it sometimes.
Another thing - I have nothing against men who are larger than average. I'm not skinny at all, and in fact I prefer bigger guys in general. It really upsets me when men are rude about my weight. I work out and it's coming off, it's something I can fix myself, and I'm fixing, why do men have to give me crap about it? They don't even know me yet. All I can say is, I'm loyal and give me a few more months, you'll have the whole package of perfect girlfriend if you were willing to give me a shot as I am now.
My big thing is faces. If you have an honest face and a nice smile, I'm very charmed and the rest of you physically doesn't matter I guess.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Hope you have better luck than I am on POF.
