EH! Be thankful you dumped him! He sounds like an ungrateful ___.

Here is another concern for me talking to this one women & so far so good she is very attractive & wants to meet. While I don't knock what other people believe I know sooner or later she is going to bring the subject up. Me being one of those OTHER religions I am hoping that she is more tolerant then others. Religion seems to come into play on some of these sites as well. Finding those who believe as I do is hard enough but in sites like POF or Ok Cupid is impossible. While there are dating sites for people like me. So when you get on those sites more likey everyone is a good distance from you, no more LDR for me I've learned my lesson this time.

You need to understand for most women in general the idea of faith and spirtuality is important as well as a guy being able to comnect with them on a spirtual level. why do you think women follow things such as the horoscope. Dont get me wrong Im an self professed athiest which might be a turn off for some women. If anything I just go back to being a lapsed catholic.

Not an Athiest myself I am a Pagan which makes me worse then you are. I refuse to convert to be with someone. I don't think anyone should have to believe or not believe to be with another.

I like paganism too, I find Hercules as my personal patron. But I know for many females a man of God is important to them eventhough he may have been in jail so many times with tattoo of the true cross on his wrist.

No, because I've never used a dating service. Then again, I've been with the same guy for 27 years, but I didn't meet him through an arranged service -- nor did I meet any of the many others I dated before he came into my life.

The secret to meeting interesting and attractive people is to do the things that interest you, and show interest in others. If you want to attract people into your life, be attractive to them. In other words, pay attention to them and find THEM interesting.

Caution: this may result in you making more friends, in general, as well.

Just for the fun of it, I put identical profiles up on OKCupid and POF (I've read a lot about them on this forum). This should be interesting! lol

My profile on both is the same as well. I see the same people on both sites.

Yeah, he was irritated, called me clingy (this was at least 2 years into our relationship) and his coworkers at all the cookies while I seethed. At least they appreciated it...I even cut them into tennis shapes because he worked at a tennis place.
That dud is a jerk, darlin'. You deserve much better...

I did that with OKC and Match to compare free vs paid. The only difference was I put widowed on Match and single on OKC (widowed wasn't an option). The results were about the same-averaged less than one profile view per day on both but overall had more looks on OKC, nothing more than a couple of e-mails exchanged on both sites.
