| If we are all all that why are we alone?
Posted: 8/21/2008 12:58:22 AM | -Anyone really out there? -
Present and accounted for.****d, locked and ready to rock.
- A friend for the journey, a committed lover, a sence of belonging. -
I'd be happy with a reply to an Email. | |

Posted: 8/22/2008 9:11:34 AM | | well for me without sounding arrogant i am not on here begging for a date.alot of women on here think i am to good to be true.once i show them that i am who i say i am they think something else is wrong.i have learned to be my self if something comes along i will give it a shot.sooner are later women have to realize there are actually good guys like me out there and you actually can beliveve in what they say instead of interigating them. | |

Posted: 8/22/2008 10:13:52 AM | The way it goes is like this:
1) At first you're alone, and lonely and you care
2) Then you're just alone and lonely
3) Then you're just alone
Then, sometimes, a bunch of people from the opposite sex show up and screw everything up.

Posted: 8/22/2008 10:14:05 AM | Because at this time in our lives we find ourselves all walking the same path we are looking to the future and the statements made on the profiles are not a declaration of perfection but a statement of who we believe we are and what we have to offer to those who are also looking.
Only a very deluded individual could believe that they are "all that" and if someone comes off like that I would rather believe it was a mistake rather then their intention to do so. | |

.....we are all alone and lonely and all looking for the same thing
If you do not mind (and even if you do) I am going to stand outside your "we."
I have many friends and family who I spend time with and enjoy myself with. Therefore I am not alone or lonely. I may not be dating anyone at this particular time in my life but that does not make me alone or lonely.
I doubt I, and most other people on POF, are looking for the same thing. I suspect the people on POF are here for a wide variety of reason. Even the generic phrase "all are looking for that special someone" does not hold true. Many want friends, some want chat buddies, some want someone to cheat on their spouse with, etc.
My friends and family give me my sense of belonging, not a internet forum.
Anyone really out there
Get off the forum and go out and look. This site is just another way to meet people. It is not an end all and be all of human interaction. | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 12:57:54 AM | This is so complicated. Life is a process. And this is why I don't feel we have baggage but life experiences that make us what we are today. We are all special in our own way and we are all looking for our match. We can make wrong choices or choices with the wrong person at the wrong time. We are human and humans make mistakes or things some times just do not work. No ones fault, just didn't work.
Anone really out there? I say yes. Patience. | |

I think you're looking at it from the "all the glasses are 1/2 empty....so what does it matter what's in them" perspective. Being "alone", to many of us is not nearly as big as issue as....being WITH someone who makes us WISH we were alone.
Well said GrandmaBooBoo! Although I doubt the OP started the thread with the intention of gaining a different perspective, more likely out of bitterness and self pity. | |

Posted: 8/25/2009 4:58:59 PM | The way I see myself and the way others see me are two different things..................and that seems to be the problem. Too many people make too many assumptions just by looking at my photo or reading something in my profile..................that is a start but that's not the whole me. Someone accused me of being a "health nut" recently just because I mention that exercise is important to me. I am not freaky about exercise but I'm also not going to sit at KFC with you.
I met a guy earlier this year who lives in a different state and he was a perfect example of how some people have terrible pics and profiles on here and then in person he was great..............funny, smart, interesting, not bad on the eye. | |

Posted: 8/26/2009 1:01:30 AM | Of course peoples profiles will showcase their good points and their positive attributes. What kind of fool is going to write something like....
"Angry, misogynistic, unemployed,bald,short,hairy,fat, jealous man looking for a wonderful young, hot, large breasted,slim,financially well off lady to overlook all my faults while having to be completely perfect in every way herself".
That is not going to get any replies of course. No one is perfect.No one is all that. We all realize that. We all know that. We expect that our mates will have faults, but we hope that those faults will be acceptable and ones that we will be able to deal with.Everyone puts their best foot forward in any new situation.Bad first impressions are almost impossible to erase. | |

All of us by choice or not by choice have found ourselves in the world alone.
Problem might be...that we truly
HAVEN'T YET FOUND OURSELVES....
...how can you find another, if you haven't discovered self?
Do we think another will?
There is no one quite so alone, who looking in everyone (but himself)...never finds himself. | |

Posted: 8/28/2009 12:55:50 PM | | Hey now, let's stay positive here. p-o-s-i-t-i-v-e, happy thoughts. We just have to find the right chemistry and we we all live happily ever after.It's not really any more complicated than that, right? | |

Posted: 8/28/2009 1:05:25 PM | "If we are all "all that" why are we alone?"
Because you're not as "all that" as you think you are?
Self-deception is rampant among humans.

Yeah, but they're all looking for companionship in some form. So they are all sort of looking for the same thing. | |

Posted: 8/28/2009 1:19:57 PM | For me? Timing comes into it.
The guy I met on here is going back to uni this/next week... I'm starting uni in about 3 weeks. The end of the summer holidays just isn't a good time for me to start relationships.  | |

Posted: 8/28/2009 1:31:49 PM | Am I alone? No, I have 3 older teens and a dog. Am I lonely? No, infact I am very happy in my life, although, it would be nice to share my life with someone.
BUT I am not willing to settle for just anyone.
As far as being here, I don't really do the bar scene, it's not a place to find a meaningful relationship, a booty call-- yes.
Am I all that? No, I have my flaws, but would most deffinatly accept someone elses flaws (with-in reason). When you fall in love, you love and accept that person for who and what they are, reguardless of their flaws. Now days, too many people find that it's easy to make relationships disposal, using flaws as an excuse, when they are only really looking for something better to come along.
Not all people here are looking for the same thing. Some are looking for booty calls, some are here killing time in the forums, some are here to date and find the love of their lives. I am here for the later. | |
