| The worst thing about being single is........
Posted: 10/30/2007 1:24:44 PM | ^^^ not all new fish are actually looking for a relationship, but I do get your point....the new fish do seem to get "hooked" right away....
One of the worst things about being single, for me, is.....the dating, trying to find someone who will accept me, completely, for who I am and not want to change me in some way or another. I have found that with the age of internet dating comes selectiveness...we have become increasingly selective...picky. Or at least that is what I see. Most seem to want "the perfect relationship", with no hassles, but what some don't realize is that with some of the standard "hassles" of a relationship comes true understanding of one another.
I guess what I'm saying is.....the worst part is trying to find someone who is willing to put in the extra effort for a REAL relationship. | |

the new fish get caught right away do they get caught?
or
do many of them just give up???
Perhaps some of those people are really quick to find someone right away (or rather: think they found someone)?
But, perhaps others give up immediately?
Ren pointed out the "selectiveness" that comes with internet dating
we have become increasingly selective...picky I think that many of these "picky" people join a site like this, with a checklist of all the qualities their perfect partner will have.
Then when they don't find someone who matches that checklist perfectly, they get p1ssed-off & give up
or
They do find someone who matches that checklist. But are suprised to find out that person isn't interested in them. Then they get really p1ssed-off and give up 
In away it's funny, after several years, these people haven't met Mr. or Mrs. Perfect anywhere else in their life. But they expect a free site like this, to instantly provide that perfect person immediately. | |

Posted: 11/1/2007 5:42:07 AM | I find myself agreeing alot more with what someplace is saying on these forums. I think in reference to my post he brought up a good point, the new fish may just give up as they find that this site ( or any others ) aren't any better than real life dating itself. Sure this is alot easier but.....and with Ren's post, I think those of us who have toured the pond more than once are getting picky as we see the "liers" so to speak alot quicker than before. At least thats mho... I think we are allowed to be picky either on here or real life...if we are fishing for a potential mate or even one to scratch the proverbial itch we deserve it to ourselves to find someone whom we think suits us....
Oops, back on topic now...the worst thing about being single is trick or treating alone with the kids...having that itch right on that spot on your back you cant quite reach on your own, feeling like you've went a round with Mike Tyson and no one to rub the pain away.....
Oh and someplace, no one is perfect....just perfect for us.... | |

I agree that we need to be "picky" to some degree as there are a lot of untrustworthy people out there. My point was that some people are being very picky, not meaning anyone in particular, just people in general. With age of internet dating, one must be selective of whom they choose to "date".
One of the worst things about being single, for me, is dating, and realizing that I have a radically differing view of how relationships should be than most others I have met. | |

Posted: 12/30/2007 3:46:47 PM |  Lets be honest... there are two sides to every coin....... Some folks love the peace and quiet of the house......otheres miss the ROWS and trying to get into the bathroom in the morning ......
I have been alone for years and always have had a dog , or cats etc...they never argue back, and eat whats given them ..... Theres no doubt that my dog is the BOSS of my house,...he reminds me oits time for this or that ...he follows me everywhere,..and knows exactly my moods...if Iam down, he comes over and gently puts his cold nose in my hand....ans looks up with his big sympathic eyes.... ESP is really there, hes told me when you go,.......I go too !!..... | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 6:33:38 AM | | The mind set, single is usually referred to as being the one unchosen. I have been with and without. I miss country drives, walks, intelligent conversations, (thanks to this site ) I am meeting people online, that at least seem to appreciate that I have one, (a brain). The rest may or may not follow, when you try to force time sequences all sorts of snafus arise. We could all use this time to really get to know someone, there are alot of hurting people out there, we must not hurt ourselves or others in the process of trying to find what we feel we need. Since I have been on this site I have learned alot about conversing with people and a little more about what is and is not acceptable to me. If you do not know yourself how can you ever really be a blessing to someone you will share the most valuable posession you have, your soul. I have posted this primarily with me in mind as this is a singular topic, not that I am being selfish. The most unselfish thing you can do is to learn to know yourself, then you can truly be there for soemone else, if you constantly agree to things etc., that does not set well with you, no good can come from it, it is just good to know yourself. This is what I believe. | |

Posted: 1/3/2008 8:22:14 AM | ^^^If you find sites like these to be so "lame", why subject yourself to them?
On topic........as I have said before......not having anyone to share my, good and bad, days with
....being on sites like this, where a lot of the men seem to think you should want to meet within days of your initial contact.....without attempting to get to know each other first. (I find that to be very frustrating) | |

^^^ curious to know what color the sky is in your world?
The sky in my world is a nice deep blue, not a cloud to be seen anywhere.  
On topic......again, the worst thing about being single......hmmm.....not having anyone to bounce my ideas off of when I'm writing a new piece for my novel. | |
