C'mon..... Really? That's like saying there's still a chance you may win the lottery too. That's how people get heartbroken and disappointed in life. They rely too heavily on hope and wishful thinking. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that there's someone out there for everyone, but it's not all that realistic when that person is halfway around the world. There has to be some feasibility of it happening from the get go.
I don't think he is saying that its 100% going to happen, just that there are a LOT of people out there, and that its very possible to find the right fish, lol
We're still dating and things are going great. But prior to getting involved with her, I wasn't really meeting anyone I was interested in dating. Sure, you can find attractive people, both on and offline. But most were either unavailable or just incompatible. That's why I've really learned to appreciate it when I do meet someone who's both physically attractive and on the same page as me as far as values, goals, interests, and so forth. As I think ohio_peasant pointed out above, you either meet someone who looks great but you have nothing in common with or you meet someone who's a lot like you only you're not physically attracted to them. When someone says there are plenty of fish in the sea, what they neglect to mention is most of those fish aren't ones you'd want.

Agreed. Some people get stuck on the physical attraction part. Sure looks aren't everything, but they do matter to many. There's a limit.
So they find someone physically attractive, but the one they're attracted to doesn't feel the same toward them.
Then when they do get attention and people interested in them, it's always someone they aren't physically attracted to.
1 guy I know of, on another forum. Assuming it was his real pic I saw, was very handsome imo. But according to him, he only gets attention from women he's not attracted to. Fat and/or dumpy girls.

I'm glad you are still dating your lady friend. And yes you are preaching to the quire.I have found the same thing.

I don't disagree with your statement that at any given time, there's a suitable match out there somewhere. But there is also a good chance you will never meet. It's random, and a certain amount of chance is involved. It's not all under your control.
I agree with this. I have a friend that took a job offer in another state and ended up getting engaged 6 months later. They would have never met if the friend took the job offer back home.

I am similar to the original poster. I am sexually attracted to probably 80% of the females whom I encounter. But out of that group, I have met only 5 for whom I had romantic feelings. Sometimes a wider pool just means more for whom you feel nothing.
