It is amazing to me how many people claim to be looking for love.
"Looking for mr. right." "My prince charming." "Where are all the good
guys? " .. Well we are right here, hundreds, no, thousands of us just
waiting for you.. I have met many women through this site in the last
yr.. All of them claiming to be searching for love in one way or the
other.. None of them really sincere about it.. What they really wanted
was a temeporary distraction, nothing more. So I provided the
distraction.. Fun, conversation..Talks on philosophy to pop culture.. A
few even came long distance to see me.. I also went long distance to see
a few myself. In search of the ever elusive "love of my life".. They
were all good women fundamentally.. But I am convinced that none of then
truly wanted anyhting but to pass the time dipite thier claims to the
contrary.. I am sure that many women on this site have passed up mr
right time and time again, not even being aware of it.. My advice would
be to watch more carefully. You just might find a winner lying on the
ground.. I like many other men on this site posses a variety of noble
qualities.. Loyalty, great communication skills.. But als like everyone
else i am far from perfect.. I have been ignored in the most rude and
heinous fashions fro being nothing more thatn open and kind.. Ready
always for this thing called love to walk through the door.. Ladies from
indiana to california to louisiana to florida to new york.. All but a
few have failed to even make good friends...To the ones who have, and
you know who you are.. I would say thank you very much for your patience
and time..Before you decide to say i am a whiner or that. I am some
asshole who probably pushed everyone away. Let me state that in some
cases this may have been true.. I am capable of admitting my mistakes..
In the long run I would have appreciated just some decent return on my
started conversations.. After all why give out your contact information
if you never intend to return any communication made to you.. This makes
no sense to me and it is pervasive in the relationships i try to start..
Inever even get the chance to have the possibility od being offensive or
not.. It goes like.. Here is my phone number but don't bother calling i
won't answer.. This is a kind of sickness.. We have become a fraid of
love.. Of each other.. Of ourselves.. Cold and insular in a
technologically crippled world.. Nevertheless I will keep trying..
Anyone who understands this can reach me easily.. I check my mail about
once every day or two at the most.. I work Lost of doubles.. In
conclusion I am sorry if this little tirade has offended anyone.. Just
testing to see if anyone is actually alive out there in America and the
world at large.. Where are you?? How are you?? Let me know.. I
actually care and tend to respond when approached.. Your friendly
neighborhood musician.. William H. Caldwell III

I don't know that the women you are talking about would even recognize
themselves as who you are talking about. I think people have to take a
good look at themselves and ask if they are truly emotionally,
physically, financially ready to date. I met a few guys, guys in their
50s (not from this site), who could not even afford to take me to
McDonald's for a burger. I am not materialistic, and a burger at
McDonald's would be fine, but that person is not ready to date. They are
in dire financial straights and need to get their life in order before
they are ready to share their life with someone. Some guys said they
wanted to date, but they absolutely did not want to date. I don't know
what they wanted. On their days off work, they would go fishing by
themselves. That's fine! But don't tell me you are looking to share your
life and then ignore me.

To tell you the truth, when I look at guys' profiles, if they did not
write much (or anything!) about themselves, I figure they just want sex
and skip over them. If they don't want to share anything about
themselves, I figure that is how much they are willing to put into a
relationship--nothing.

I'm looking for my "Mr. Right," but just because a guy might have the
qualities I'm looking for, that doesn't make him "my" Mr. Right.

Will, I know what you're saying.

There are some -- and this applies to the men as well as the women --
who treat dating/meeting sites as if they were just another kind of
role-playing video game.

I met two of them last year, from two other sites; and I learned some
things (hopefully).

But I remain steadfast in my bullheaded, illogical stance that there are
almost inevitably going to be some real people here someplace. Is it
optimism? Is it stupidity? Is it the rare, elusive ability to take
reality and toss it out the window? Yes, I say -- it's a healthy (?)
mix of all of the above.

I think your point about some people wanting nothing more elaborate than
a distraction was right on the money, too. I've run into several of
those myself.

As cynical as I am, though, I still believe that the law of averages,
such as it is, dictates that a certain minuscule percentage of people on
this site, or any site (except MySpace) must certainly be legitimately
looking for something other than an interactive episodic 22-minute
on-line sitcom.

Of course, I have absolutely nothing to base that on....

I am just now coming out of the grief stage enough so I can start to
enjoy the single lifestyle. I think I am a little more rational than I
was two years ago. Having been married most of my adult life the single
lifestyle is still kind of weird. I should of went to counseling but
roughed it out. Who can afford counseling and therapy? With the state of
affairs that President Bush has put us all in it just wouldn't be
prudent at this juncture. I am enjoying the friendships.

well iam looking for all the mr wrongs figure ill just have alot of fun

Thank you all for your kind and very insightful responses and for not
attacking me.. You are all good people in my book.. Good luck in
whatever you are searching for.. Your friend WILL

I am looking for friends and have found some great ones...

If Mr Rite happens to come along well- that would be ok too...

awww ...(((WILL))))

you just haven't found her yet , and when you do
you will know it !! it''ll hit ya like a ton of bricks !!

You have found alot of duds ,,thats all ,,there is over 6 billion people
on the planet ,, only one for you ,

sometimes it takes so long to find the other half

but it is worth the search , the wait , the anguish ,

the duds are a frustrating time filler , and the road along the way is
bumpy and frustrating as hell !!

but you will get there !!

Purple that is so true what you said...

Hope your having a good day!

I'd settle for "Miss Won't Stab Me To Death In My Sleep"
