What business is it of yours on what they want in a partner? If they only think it is worth it to date a narrow range of people, that is their business. I easily have had 25-40 first dates before finding someone I thought there was potential with. That's my business.

Yeah, but if said person isn't willing to even go on a first date...then what's the point to it all?

That's for them to decide, not anyone else. It may take years for them to connect with someone they want to even have a first date with. There is nothing at all wrong with that. We all have different criteria and hurdles that must be overcome.

Actually, I'd feel all Neo if a woman went years declining dating opportunities only to say yes to me. I mean even if Morpheus came along and taught me how to dodge bullets and ****, I might just use that skill to avoid her. I'd rather not be The One.

So if you know they were on there a year ago, clearly you were on there a year ago too. What is your point? Just because they won’t go on a first date with you doesn’t mean they aren’t dating other people one or two times and deciding they are not a match.

Would you go all neo and avoid an indvidual who has been divorced 5 times?

I would. I think timberline was engaging in hyperbole, which shaped my response, but I don't think I'd be compatible with someone who saw good relationships as either necessarily very difficult to find or almost disposable.

No, but this kind of goes good with that over 40, never married thread (as some of the women I mentioned in this thread are also involved), that they are on there for that long because no one is ever good enough.
Online dating seems to reinforce that...just google "The Husband Store", and you'll see what I mean.

Good god. It isn't about being "good enough". How many times do how many people have to say it? Get off relationship blogs (etc). I have met, literally, hundreds of good quality physically good looking intelligent people with their act together over the years from just OLD. Precious few of them am I going to have the type of connection with to pursue a romantic relationship with that may lead to falling in love. Damn few. They were "good enough" in all the freaking check boxes.
THAT IS NOT WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
