But most women look at mens looks instead of their hearts. But I do understand thats hard to see on a computer. There are some of us good guys still around. I'm to old to be a player. Lol | |

| Where have all the honest johns gone. . .??? Posted: 10/21/2007 7:24:30 PM | Why is it a few bad men make us all look bad. There are plenty of women out there that are just as bad. Why is it, I can meet a woman and get her phone number but when I call her she will never answer the phone or return the call. I have been cheated on, stepped on, chewed up, spit out and run over but I still go out and trust the next woman. One thing I noticed is when women meet an honest guy like me, they will dump me and go find another guy that will lie and cheat on them. I guess sometimes we like the challenge instead of really finding what we say were looking for. | |

Posted: 10/21/2007 8:57:12 PM | Hey Lady's , Don't ask so many questions and you wont get so many lies , Some of you act like the guy you are going out with is on the witnesstand getting interrogated, hey the first few dates are supposed to be to be fun interesting and to get to know each other slowly time, not reveal everything about you now or its over time, Usually revealing everything about yourself to someone new too soon makes you sound so needy that it kills all sexual tension and the intrigue that new friends experience so some guys lie instinctively some on purpose in order to avoid to be put in the "he is a chump and now I'm putting him in the hes just a friend book , Some men that actually taught about this will not lie to you but avoid and redirect your sometimes rude and inappropriate questions in a fun and humorous way , The thing about dating sites that i don't like is that a lot of women that use them act so frantically needy to make a serious connection with a man before its even appropriate . And so inexperienced men will resort to lying because the don't know how to redirect this i think inappropriate behavior that a lot of women display,  | |

To answer your question, it's not that people are gullable. It’s that they are overly eager to attach themselves to that instant spark that they misinterpret the other person’s actions or true feelings. Whether you meet on a dating site (no matter which one it is) or you meet someone at some sort of social gathering, it’s all the same. Only difference is that online dating gives you the opportunity to meet people you normally wouldn’t meet due to where you live/work/hang out or what your normal schedule is.
In reading the story, the whole situation only lasted a few weeks. It was all rushed without taking the time to truly get to know the other person before beleiving that there was a committed relationship.
That's really not much different than someone beleiving that there's a relationship just because they went home with someone they met that night at the bar.
There is nothing wrong with having fun and enjoying the moments as they come. If your going to believe that you are in a committed relationship right away even though you haven't taken the time to really get to know the person, you're going to feel as if you've been played.
Best advice I can give is no matter where or how you meet, you need to take it all one day at a time for a few months and not expect too much too soon. | |

Thats all most are looking for! They are just pi$$ed that they haven't found the sales person selling what they want to buy!!!!!!!!!!!
You don't want to know who I am! You want to know who I can be for you! GET REAL!!!
You want to know how wonderful we are. You will judge the right one wrong and the wrong one right...
You don't want a real person!!! You are looking for a savour, or that bu!!sh1t concept of a dream person that will make all the problems from the past go away....
Your lieing to yourself! So why get all upset when someone else lies to you? | |

You want to know how wonderful we are. But when you meet someone that takes your breath away, that you can't stop thinking about, that melts you, that makes you feel you are two in the same, and they say they feel the same way.... Are you supposed to trust that? Do you say the heck with it and just give in to this wonderful feeling? | |

The breath I took, I will return. It's the breath my soul has needed, for so long it has yurned!
The thoughts are needed to feed the dreams. You where looking in the morror or so it seems.
Did they just say, or did you see? An I, a you, become a WE?
Fight it fight it again and again, when it comes to true love you must surrender to WIN!
