It's been 7 years, give or take, but I guess I don't have any terrible stories. I've had a few first meets that make for funny stories, but maybe that is just my outlook on life. I've met a few 'keepers', but I've never met anyone I thought was MY 'keeper'.
What i have found is that many many many single men I meet range from odd/socially awkward to very damaged by life's experiences. (Usually by harsh treatment or neglect by parents) It is very sad. It makes me wish I were a social worker. Doesn't matter where I meet them, online or in real life. Our society is not generally a kind one.
I've had a long and rocky career path as well, and believe that these negative experiences were necessary to prepare me for the RIGHT job when it came along. So I'm working on the theory that all these negative bumps in the relationship road are preparing me for the RIGHT relationship

You sound like the female version of me. I was very damaged by my divorce. I'm sure there's still some residual stuff to deal with, but for the most part, I'm past it. I worked my ass off to recover from it. I like to think that women view me as "normal", despite being a little shy.
Regarding your rocky career path, I'm in that club too. Being unemployed while going through a divorce made me want to give up on life completely. I'm finally back on track career wise and don't present myself as damaged goods anymore, thank God.
I don't have any stories to tell, but I can tell you that I've had 2 views of my profile in like a week(record for me, haven't had a single view in 4 months), but they all state in there profile that they go after "chocolate" men.
The only problem I have with this is: I keep looking at my skin, and it's not chocolate looking. Why look at my profile when you state that you want to date a specific color of men that isn't my color? Makes no sense to me.
I decided to give Internet dating (OkCupid) another shot. Upon meeting my date, it was glaringly obvious he was a closeted homosexual. (Nothing wrong with being gay, except I want to date a straight man! I even checked his profile after the date to make sure he identified himself as "straight" and I didn't misunderstand.) I deleted my account after this date and have permanently given up on Internet dating. Misery loves company - let's hear your most horrific, terrible, Internet dating stories!
lol, i'm confused as to what he was trying to accomplish by going on a date with a woman, when as you stated, he is clearly a homosexual.
Oooh, I have lots and lots of stories. More than one guy has shown up obviously drunk/stoned, I've been stood up 10+ times, I've had men who show up, look me up and down and then leave, and I had one guy show up on our first date with his wife. He just wanted to 'prove' she was okay with an open marriage...I guess it never occurred to him to ask if I was okay with that. And none of those guys were 'rich, super tall, super good looking, bad boys' etc etc before anyone gets started on that.
Regardless, I met my boyfriend through OKC and it only took me 4 years
