Why the big deal over a stranger on the Internet? If he didn't respond he obviously wasn't interested in one way or another. No reason in wasting time/energy in trying to find out.

You are always judging all of these people as not all that, obese, etc. From the way you talk to and treat people, and it comes across very obvious, maybe they are getting it figured out early on that you are the one who many be 'not all that.'
No, he's not all that and he is fat. I am not fat nor am I being extremely picky about what I want, just want someone like me. I don't care that he thinks I am not all that, but he's the one on the dating site complaining and updating photos and I am not.

You're the one on the CD Relationships forum complaining.

I knew someone, when MySpace was popular, who posted stuff about himself such as being a huge fand of Jung and Freudian psychoanalysis, a lover of culture and food, patient, kind, etc.. IRL, he was nothing like that. Not even close- was totally vehement of multiculturalism and very linear in thought.

So on paper, people may sound great, just like a resume, but you have to be careful. Words are just words.

They don't always match up with a person's actions or what they truly think.

After all, it is the Internet. People call it cyber-reality for a reason.

I am not complaining, I am just wondering why a guy is on a site for years. I highly doubt he is looking for marriage because he likely would have found it on the site or got off. I failed at online so I am no longer on it.

That is true, people are often different offline.

He's on the site because he's still looking for his match.
