Topic: Needle in the haystack

I'm obviously really looking for a needle in a huge haystack, haha.
I even have plural dating sites complaining...

One gave me the message: "You are looking for a unicorn. They don't exist!"
Nonsense, they do exist, morons! They're 7 dimensional beings, so very high vibrational :)

Now this huge dating site I became a member of yesterday tells me:
"There's less than 50 profiles that meet your criteria. Broaden them a bit."

So I click on my criteria, they want me to loosen the reigns concerning a few things that are deal-breakers for me?
I think not!
These were age, height, education. I think quite important.

Kind of weird that they try to talk me into settling for less than I want and know I need in order to be happy.
I'm fine with looking for that unicorn, that needle in the haystack.
What I'm looking for is unique, my counterpart. I exist, so he exists too.
If he's a unicorn, then I am too. Perfect match! :smile:

I know it ain't easy, that going through a haystack is tiring, sweaty work. But I'll get there.
I was very close before, just that I gotten a speck of dust in me eye and I mistook the needle for the right one. But... It was the best hot danged match I've ever had in my life.
If I did it once, I can do it again. I'll wear protective glasses this time, no more dust.

Kind of funny this, hihi. Until last week I felt like, oh well, whatever...
Now I've learnt and felt and decided I'm ready, and now I want him, as in NOW. This red hot minute. Suddenly I'm impatient, ready to drag him home by his boxers. Or to a cafΓ©, first have a cup of cappuccino of course tongue2

Mr Unicorn, where the hell are you!?!

Go to the dating store.



A store has just opened that offers free husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:

β€œYou may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors to choose from. You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the store to find a husband. On the 1st floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs

The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The 3rd floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely Good Looking.

β€œWow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the 4th floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

β€œOh, mercy me!” she exclaims. β€œI can hardly stand it!” Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the Sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 71,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that you are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a Wife Store just across the street.

The 1st first floor has wives that love sex.

The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The 3rd through 6th floors have never been visited...

Of course no woman can find her husband in that store!
It's set up all wrong! It should be:
- 1st floor: men who are great in bed and don't need viagra
- 2nd floor: Men who are great in bed without needing viagra and have job/money...

3-6th floor don't get visited, women are happy tongue2 :wink:

But I guess the proprietor doesn't care to much about his husband shop not running since he's making good money exploiting a brothel on the other side of the street!
I hope it's legal in his state, haha.

Don't feel too bad.

E-Harmony told me that I'm one of the less than 20% that they cannot find a match for.

I come here or go to Match and a handful of others, and I get plenty of interest. It's just that once I've sorted out the bots and such, I can't afford to pay their extortionist subscription rates just to be able to make contact. And certainly not for multiple sites.

I don't mind paying if the rate is reasonable, but a lot of sites are really expensive. I have more immediate priorities than paying for a dating site.

That's the thing, CrystalFairy..

Guys are forever saying "if you'd change this....take that out...be less picky....not so rigid/ infelxible..." blah blah they'd date me..

But, they fail to see that everything they suggested?
It's about THEM, and what *they* want....
And, why should I change myself to suit someone?
I wouldn't ask or expect someone to change to suit me...I'd just keep lookling for someone more compatible.

If 20 dudes want to opinionate unasked (when they really aren't interested in me anyway) on what I should do...or what they dislike or find offensive...that's gtheir problem....I'm not going to trouble myself about it.
I see a LOT of profiles on here and other sites I don't like, HIGHLY disagree with, anger me...
But, you know what?
I never felt the need to message them and tell them why i find them offensive/ distateful.

I prefer to save my time and energy for someone *worth* my time.

Everyone derserves love....someone who thinks they are the coolest thing on two legs on the planet....even the most peculiar...
It's just a process of finding someone whose peculiarties you can live with, and vice versa... flowers

Yes, it isn't always easy to find someone who at least comes close to what you're looking for. If I post pictures I get tons of PMs from men I wouldn't even date if they were the last ones on the planet. I guess a problem every at least reasonable looking girl has.
Not even close to meeting the things I say I'm looking for, yet sending me a message "Wow!"
Great they feel that way, but I TOO want to think "Wow!!" when I see my potential mate, haha.
Oh well, let's (try to) not get too judgemental, hihi. But fair is fair, I don't need a man to look like Adonis, but I must feel attracted to him, logical.

Problem is the pond I'm fishing in -the one I am in myself too- is a small one. I'm far from regular myself, not meaning that in an arrogant way btw, I simply am not regular. Finding that one who complements me... I found him, unfortunately there was a spanner in the works.
But at least through that experience & relationship I've learnt that it IS possible, that there ARE men who complement me.
Now it's just a matter of finding one...

Crystal, that which you seek,
may have already been within your line
of sight.

Needle in a haystack is easily overlooked,
and not easy to find.

Yeah, some prices are steep, I'm not doing that either. I'm not willing to pay unless the 'assortment' is promising, and the features of the site are as well.
The problem I'm having that you can always set the outer distance perimeter, but NEVER the inner one. I don't want someone from my area. What do dating sites do? Find someone in your area, as that's what everyone wants.
Not me.
Oh well, I hadn't meant to rant and grmble, hihi. But sometimes it is highly annoying!

yep. age, height and education are tall orders.

I live in the midwest where there are bountiful haystacks. few needles tho.


It can happen, it happened to me. The EXACT height I had given as indication, the same education level, and the right age, even born in the year that I prefer (Chinese astrology).
Now it's a matter of finding another one like that who also checks off the few points my ex didn't. Then it'll be perfect for me smooched

I am in da sowf.
Everybody here is all grandkids, Nascar, church...
I can't relate to any of that.

Then factor in all the guys in my age range look the same....short haired, clean shaven, clean cut, golf shirt wearing...

As someone who has been around and involved with music/ arsty guys all my life...I'm more into a bit longer hair, and facial hair...(bald but with facial hair is good..my late husband was a chrome-dome)
(And stupuid people *immediately* think dirty, ragged hippie/ homeless when I say that..forgetting about people like Sam Bush, for example)

I'm into nature, gardening, small stock...BUT, I love the symphony, museums...festivals..etc.

I had two, am now a widow, hope to find one last one... waving

I have looked at other sites..looking is free....to see if there are intersting guys in my area (within 100 miles)..
So, I see quite a few...so, I go on and join for 3 months.
The VERY next time I log on (like, later that day or the next day)...none of those 15 guys are on their..their profiles don't exist (even when I co[py and paste their user ID in)..
I think it is a scan some sites use to get you to join....mad

Yes, it is. In fact, Match is notorious for telling you that you have a bunch of people interested in you, only to have them all disappear once you purchase a subscription. It's a bait and switch. I don't understand how they haven't faced legal action yet.

Btw, the people who came to Mingle from DateHookup? Well, DH was bought out by Match. That's what drove DH out of business really. I'm oversimplifying it, but Match had reasons for buying a floundering rival.

Of course not, but once you've collected all the needles with the magnet, you'll have your piece of hay.... Then you can live happily ever after!biggrin

Funny you mention that, cos that is actually true. Not that the magnet is something outside of yourself, the one who's looking is the magnet.
The other party also has to be ready to be a magnet of course. Then you get this delicious magnetism and chemistry, WHAMMAAH!!
Dangit... now I want him even more. Must be my hormones.
I'm simply not a patient woman, hihi. If I decide I want something, I just want it laugh
I remember in the past someone told me "Patience is a virtue" and I was like rant explode rant pitchfork
