I'm 27. I've been in a, well what I thought was, a serious relationship or two. I've sacrificed a lot of my life away, for my relationships. And no matter what I changed about me, or the difference in the guys I choose, the same things happen.

I'm definitely ready to give up all together.

All men are not the same,some of us can cook ,do laundry and clean the bathroom. Some of learned by having to raise our children. Some of us can share and not be greedy. It does take communication and understanding to create a working partenership. Men and women both have been used in past relationships but you must learn to move on and enjoy life not fear it.

& why is that?? I'm sure the Ladies I chat with would disagree.

except for the stood up part I agree with sherilyn^^^^^^^^^ meet them as soon as possible....because that online persona has a way of taking a world on its own...then nothing can ever measure up...we are human you know...well some of us

Hmmm most ladies like to chat for months on end, then just disappear, perhaps something better came along?

And men are just as guilty of doing the same thing. If we haven't met within the first week or made attempts to find a time then odds are very high it's never going to happen.

I met the guy I'm seeing now 3 days after first contact. That was 3 weeks ago today. I didn't meet him on POF but I did meet him through an online social network.

Thank you Sherilyn, a bit of personal findings...

.... the last one I met in person from here I chatted with for a couple months before she reluctantly met me, .. dated on & off for almost 2 years.

I have said before too, only one in 10 contacts are willing to contact me back, so the ones I do chat with online is mostly their doing. one in 3 of those may decide to meet me actually in person (1 out of 30), but I find they are much happier mailing back in forth than taking it any further in their search for "the right one" ! They usually disappear without any notice.

The couple I did meet pretty quick (their idea) were also as gone as fast as they appeared.

I keep thinking it might be the age difference here Sherilyn. I think of you as younger that you actually are, but we are relatively close in age.

Yes, I'm not that much younger than you. People often mistake me for being in my 20s still so the picture probably throws you off (and trust me, looking young has it's own set of dating issues... the guys that are my age often won't even look at me seriously because they think I'm not their age).


I have said before too, only one in 10 contacts are willing to contact me back, so the ones I do chat with online is mostly their doing. one in 3 of those may decide to meet me actually in person (1 out of 30), but I find they are much happier mailing back in forth than taking it any further in their search for "the right one" ! They usually disappear without any notice.

And I see about the same numbers as well. About 1 out of ever 10 emails actually turn into any resemblance of a conversation for me. I immediately evaluate the important things like likes and dislikes and moral stances and then set up a meet if I think we click. I probably meet about 1 out of ever 10 people I've talked to, I probably go out on a second date with only 1 out of 100. :) Meeting doesn't make the odds higher of clicking, it only increases the odds of actually getting that chance to find out if you do or not.

I would imagine that some of the time before meeting also depends on the personalities. If you're shy or afraid of getting hurt then things might go much slower. If a guy I met through the internet was too afraid to actually meet me right away then I know that the relationship probably wouldn't have much chance. I'm afraid on the inside but I don't let that stop me ever. I also don't know how to take things slow no matter how much I try. I'm very much a live by my heart kind of person and I do what feels right to me inside. If a guy tries to put my emotions on "pause" then chances are I'm going to change the channel and find something else to do.

I believe, maybe, that Semper has met the woman of his dreams, but she's quite possibly married to another. No woman is going to meet his expectations until he recognizes this and deals with it. He won't be happy and he won't be able to make anyone else happy either.

I also feel that the "Perfect Man" DOES exist.....he is the man we are looking for with all the qualities we desire. No, he's not perfect, not to the rest of the world, but he is to us. I met a man last spring who swept me off his feet, could probably do it again, but I made some mistakes and so did he. My mistakes were mistakes I am told women quite often make. He told me of them, which I would like to thank him for, I've worked on these and have become a woman men enjoy talking to, have met a few men, just not the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. Another thing, ladies, is that men have their expectations of us WAY too high. They want us to be financially secure, why? Are they going to come and live with us? I don't think so!!! Been there, done that, not going to happen again.....and as long as I can take care of myself, I'm happy, and I can do that. In fact, my current income probably puts almost all mens salaries to shame.....so I don't NEED a man in my life, I just want someone to care for, to care for me, to do things with and to be friends with. Men just need to deflate their ego a bit and come down to earth.....then they just might meet a nice woman..........with all their high expectations, they're going to chase her away and be lonely old men.......
Happy

Oh, I agree that you need to meet to make sure the chemistry is right, but you need to get to know each other before you go jumping into bed.......at least that's how I feel and I've found that too many men won't continue an interest if you don't have sex with them on the second or third date........if there is a third date..........

How did you come to the conclusion that women are giving up? Or are you really saying you give up? There are plenty of women here, they are not giving up.
