I swear I don't understand how people make it through life expecting everyone to do exactly what they want.
Even when I was contacted by someone outside of my "parameters" I did my best to gracious and polite.
I think the problem with some of the people who complain is they don't get what they "think" they deserve, and they get irate and rude when they find out differently.
It's not a matter of someone doing what I want. It's a matter of them having a brain in their heads and taking 14 seconds to skim a profile instead of firing off some trashy "r u n2 younger men? up for sum fun hunny?"
Yeah, okay, Junior. GTHO.

Just because we aren't interested doesn't mean we call them trash, uggos, losers, or any other derogatory term.
When some 21-year-old dolt--or any guy--sends me a message that pretty much lets me know he thinks of me as a collection of holes, no, I don't owe him jack.
Sometimes I miss MySpace. I used to have a Hall of Shame in my blog there where I published the messages and links to the profiles of the morons who sent them to me for all the world to laugh at.
Do dating profiles have a shelf life? I see some of the same people that are still active three years later. I usually sign up for 2-3 weeks before deleting my profile for a 2-4 month breather.
Why does everyone in my area smoke? What a dirty and disgusting habit.
it seems that online dating is more of a hassle than dating in real life.....
Have you ever seen Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part 1? The scene where Madeline Kahn is selecting escorts? It's like that. Yes, no-no-no-no-no, yes, no-no-no, yes, no-no-no-no-no-no...YEEEEEEESSSS!

Yea man, I guess. I only met one person who had a successful relationship from online dating. My other friends, both male and female, failed miserably.
I've had relationships from OLD. I guess 4 of them that were in the 2-year range. I am not sure if that counts as successful, since we didn't get married, but they were the relationships I wanted at the time.

How were they not successful? You met someone, you connected, you had a relationship and when it was no longer working the relationship ended.
That has to be a success, as long a abuse wasn't involved or the relationship was miserable.

Very true. The relationships hit a brick wall to where they no longer worked for either where you were at in your life, or where your SO was in theirs.
I do wonder a bit though. Now that women and men are becoming more equal in the workforce and in life in general, are more people washing and repeating in relationships, instead of staying in them and making them work when they were unhappy like our parents or our grandparents?
From what I read around here and see online, it seems more people are getting in and out of relationships more than before. If it doesn't seem like it's working I can go back out and find another one. I'm just thinking out loud of course.
