Some of us would feel destined for an eternity of nothing but Lifetime movies and ice cream after a few really bad online dates, but what about going on over 130 dates and still not finding Mr. Right?
Meet Belinda Stuckey, a 35-year-old school teacher from Sydney who claims she has gone on 136 dates in 17 months and has never taken her perspective suitors out for a second date.
I'm having a hard time taking this story seriously. The fact that this somehow attracted the attention of the media and became a "news story" in the first place makes me suspicious. I suspect that Ms. Stuckey had an agenda and was seeking her 15 minutes of fame. She has issues, but at the same time she knew exactly what she was doing this whole time.
Hawaiiancoconut is right; those 136 men dodged a bullet.
This is funny to me because I know someone who was doing OLD as a hobby, not actually expecting anything but blogging about her failures. Then a few of her male friends told her their own OLD stores and she blogged about them too. Everyone is crazy in their own way.
It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, anyone can write a story like this. Especially if they are NOT actually craving a life mate, but just want something to do that they can tell stories about.

Never taken her prospective suitors on a second date? Or 136 men didn't ask for a second date?
My money is on the latter, because she sounds not only stuck up, but stupid. She posts pictures of herself wearing only a bra on top and then says men are only interested in sex.

Sounds like she's too finicky and picky. If she didn't go on one second date I'm gonna say it's completely her own doing or her own choice to not pursue anyone. Likely another case of a woman waiting for Mr. Perfect to come along, news flash: No one is perfect.
This is what happens when people BS themselves into to thinking 40 is the new 20. The tragic part is when they hit the wall and still think they're hot.

She's not an unattractive woman, so there must be something very off-putting about her in person if not one guy in 136 asked for a second date. (Note how the article says she didn't take them out again, not that she turned them all down. Uh, yeah, if a guy likes you on the first date, he'll ask you for a second.)

Speak for yourself. People don't suddenly shrivel up and look like a dried-apple doll at some arbitrary number. Plenty of 40-somethings around looking better and in much better shape than plenty of 20-somethings. You seem to be under the impression that women in their 30s and 40s care about living up to a 20-something's definition of hot. We don't.

It’s basic biological drive for men to want to date younger females. I have little desire to chase women who are 40 plus.
