I think a fed ex delivery man would be perfect for the O.P.

Wait, is that what we're talking about here? I'm confused.

Don't feel bad, because you are not the only one. I don't care that much for either and I am on one right now and that is really to be in the forum. I know I don't take it serious, because you have too many liers up there. I rather meet someone when I go out( store, bookstore, etc.). To me I think it better and I get to see who I am talking to.

I think Plenty of Fish is a fun site...good thing is free...not worth paying (no dating site is worth paying when same can be done at a gym or a park or a bar for free) , but my photo did get rated 8.30 after 42 votes so far I dont ever expect to find anyone on there buts its fun when you got some time to kill.

Am I the only one who was completely baffled by this?

It's this way offline as well, and you have to command respect on or offline. If Joe Blow wants to meet you at a gas station, or in his car in some parking lot, hit delete and go to the next guy. Men will try to get over on you anywhere you go. It's up to you to make it clear you are not playing games.

And heres something else...many of the men I meet online and see them in a nightclub, you know what they are doing? They are always standing quietly in the corner and dont attempt to talk to anyone. Its always me who has to go up and speak to them, then they are extremely interested, but then retreat back into their anti-social ways after a date or 2. Why? Because they arent really anti-social, they are just either involved or have way too much baggage.
Maybe they don't think you two are a fit?

EXAMPLE:
Quote:
i MET a guy through a friend, at a club. When he pulled out his phone I gasped in horror becasue I recognized his photo from an online dating site. At that point I was thinking to myself; uh oh...he's gonna be trouble, but I gave him my number in stride.

Before the 1st date he talks about how he was in jail, how he used to party non-stop 7-days a wekk, got burnt out and now just stays at home to himself. He also stated that when women tries to talk to him randomly at a club, that he just gets 'scared' and "hides" behind his friends because he feels many girls at the club are full of sh*t. Dont ask me why I didnt take that as a clear warning and RUN for the hills...

After the 1st date, he ran from me and played games for the 2nd date til I finally told him to stick his d*ck up his a** and that I am happy to delete him. Did I meet him online? No...but he had a profile online and I seen him there quite often. Meeting a online person offline doesnt make them any less of a jerk. I want to meet the ones who either never go online or who dont have a profile online!
If you think this won't happen to you with someone who isn't online, you're sadly mistaken.

YOU determine what kind of men you attract. If you are going to the clubs, guess what, you will likely end up dropping him off there as well when it's all said and done. Your approach also determines what type of men you attract, and overlooking the warning signs are sure to get you to the point you are now.

It's apparent that you've not developed even the most basic social skills and common sense that one needs to have any success with a relationship...no matter where you meet them.
I agree with you Chessie.

And...you dont know me from a hole in the wall. Maybe you're married with 20 kids and are a stay at home mom who never sees the light of day. So of course you wouldnt know what type of jerks exist on these dating sites. I suggest if you cant say anything worthwhile, say nothing at all because you're just being a ******. (and excuse me, I hope I dont get in trouble with anyone here, but she deserved to be called that as her post is the epitomy of that)
I don't know you from a hole in the wall either but I agree with her. A good attitude is everything. Social grace is also important in finding and keeping a quality man. You lack both, from what I can see so far.

If you work overnights...or if you seek someone who doesn't work...you are going to have a hard time finding the person--since most people are going out to "meet people" while you're at work. My last ten girlfriends didn't have a job when I was dating them. Do you think that they were easy to find?
