No honey. The reason I ask you to stop repeating it (over and over and over) is because ANYONE that has used an online dating site, for any length of time, is going to have at least ONE horror story. Anyone that has gone out to a BAR and met people, will also have a few horror stories. It doesn't matter what the venue is...you are going to get smacked by a liar at some point in time. You don't give up on dating just because you take a few tumbles.
u r so right. i agree. im leaving 1st thing in the morning for memphis. sarah palin is making a personal appearance there and i am just sure if i show up i can make it work.

It is amazing to me how these people will e mail a total stranger, and then, in some cases, fly across the country to meet this person. I would never do that in a million years.
I met a gal through my work that I kept in touch with via
email for years.
She was quite some distance away so nothing happened but
when I moved significantly closer I hinted at meeting.
No communication for 3-months then out of the blue I hear
from her and the news that she is casually seeing an ex
from 30-years ago... and has included a 30-year old photo
of them together.
Ok, that is the end of that. I was interested in meeting but
certainly not with an ex in the picture.
Despite the years of communication and sharing our stories
I feel that we were strangers given the above smacked me
in the face out of the blue.
I'm now jaded about the remote thing. Actually, fact is I'm
jaded about the whole relationship thing. There doesn't seem
to be any other living creature on earth that is quite so hard
on each other as humans are.
I've heard enough about the online dating to be very leary
of that now too.
YEp...that's pretty much my rule too. And it's worked marvelously.
It's really an effort and risk vs reward situation. If you can't meet any one locally, maybe it's worth it? Ive only met 2 woman online who were far away, that I had a real desire to meet and I am still reserved about that. In both cases, I scratch my head why they were not spoken for One was here and another from a dating site.

I took to heart what u said I am at the airport now headed for Memphis I got the dozen roses in the bag this time for sure
For most men (70 to 80%) with all the rejection that they face and the difficulty that they have actually getting dates, they are unlikely to ever get to know enough women to be statistically likely to find someone who is appropriate.
Women tend to focus on the 10 to 20 % of guys who get 98% of the dates and assume that their experience is normal.
If you're an ugly woman with a picture up there, you won't get any responses either. Most of the men troll those sites for attractive easy lays.
The great irony is that if a woman is attractive, she'll have better options than men like that.

Source for those statistics, please? Reputable sites and journals, if you would.

I'm talking about the "attractive easy lays."
