Some guys you just wish they would stay down. Some will and some NEVER will!

LOL! I don't know about anyone else here, but I have faced my share of rejection and disappointment. I have found myself in situations where it seemed like there wasn't another decent person with my same values and goals...and believe me, my dating pool is WAY smaller than most people's.

I have felt insecure and hopeless.

And yet somehow I have managed to find and have relationships with several very attractive, very intelligent, good-hearted people...until my heart finally settled on one to truly invest and commit to.

Because of the energy I put into it...it's like your career or whatever...your focus and attitude often determine your outcome.

Yes. I'm perceptive and not a slave to shallow thinking.

I think being alone is relative. "If u want friends u have to show yourself friendly." I am single and sometimes I feel lonely, but not alone. I think it is how I perceive my situation. Maybe it is the case for others too. I don't know, but...

Why?! It wouldn't be the first time anybody talks about gays or mentions being gay... It’s not like you keep it a secret.

Bc if someone comes on here and talks about how most lesbians are unattractive and can't seem to get a decent job, they will get lambasted. Never mind that it's the truth.

The fact is that if you want to find just any PERSON who is gorgeous, fit, super well-educated, well-read, well-traveled, ambitious, organized, generous, hilarious, family-oriented, and prosperous...well, good luck. Narrow the field down to the eenie-weenie percentage of the population that is around your age group AND lesbian...hell, forget it.

And yet...I manged to find a couple...and then other parts of your personality have to fit. I'm insanely picky and I don't have the advantage of numbers that heterosexuals have.

On the good side, my wife doesn't have to worry about me cheating on her...very little opportunity (and I don't count the creepy straight women who hit on me).
