Right now... It's a mixed bag. I went on eHarmony to kinda weed out the hook up guys. But you still keep the crazy. I have at least one person who is slowly showing his crazy side1 -

Agree with this wholeheartedly. When one isn't looking options present themselves or are introduced to you. My sister and I are always being invited to dinners and family/friends events where the hosts are not so subtly trying to match us with relatives or friends. One such event is this Saturday ... Full turkey & roasted lamb dinner and band practice 2 streets away. Shrugs.1 -
Being single is also something special, something which is unique and profitable. It might not be easy to get back your single status after you land yourself in a relationship. One should enjoy being single while it lasts.
True. I feel that one can retain a semblance of the singleness Shangrila whilst attached. It doesn't behoove your sanity or your partner's to be whittled down to a coupling moronic drone. Don't lose the you-ness of you.1 -

I was dating for a time. Every single one didn't even fit into two of my criteria for my ideal man that I had written when I was 20. My list is still inside my Bible my Mum gifted to me 1996 Christmas. 26 years after writing that list - my dream/ideal/ man exists in my life.3 -

I think women see much more of the craziness then we men do. Keep hearing horror stories about not just crazy. But, also those just looking for a hookup or poly. I know of at least one who said that someone they were kind of interested in had a restraining order &/or registered sex offender.
When I was on, I really had nothing more than a few first dates which didn't pan out. One woman who reached out to me, very nice and polite. I responded to her with answers to her questions and she berated me in a message about how all men are pigs and deserved to be dragged out and publicly humiliated and shamed.
I did get one "relationship" out of it which lasted about two months. Though, it was a very awkward relationship and she ghosted me a day or two after I took her to a concert. Thirty days later, I get a text "I know this doesn't make things right. But..." explaining how she felt bad for ghosting me and she meant to say it was over but it never happened.
Hope you have much better luck than I have!1 -

I’m going to guess that some people don’t like the idea of taking your own space while attached though. I think people are different, some people might be needy of a lot of attention, while others might be comfortable letting you do your thing while they go off doing something else.777Gemma888 wrote: »Being single is also something special, something which is unique and profitable.

While others are completely untrusting of your time away (not being needy, just untrusting) from them.1 -

I was pretty hopefully for a little... But I feel it slowly fading... But I paid for a year so I'm going to be doing this for at least a year or until I maybe find someone2 -

I did something similar with Match. At about six months, I just hid my profile. figured the lost $50 or whatever it was worth it for not having to deal with the aggravation and so forth.
I really do wish you the best of luck. I know some people have had really good luck. Two friends of mine met their wives through online dating.1 -
That’s because there are really lame idiots on these platforms who make it worse for everyone, and they spam all girls with useless dark chit. I don’t use dating platforms anymore for that reason - I don’t want to be looked upon as just another inconvenience even though my intent on them was genuine.XxFunctionalStrengthxX wrote: »I responded to her with answers to her questions and she berated me in a message about how all men are pigs and deserved to be dragged out and publicly humiliated and shamed.
I get that, and I feel bad for the women who have to deal with it. But, it does not excuse her for her actions. She was the one who initiated the contact with me with a nice, decent message. My response to her was in kind. Nice, decent, respectful. Those who have interacted with me know that unless I'm very comfortable with someone, I don't do/say anything risque. "Know thy audience" is the rule I follow.
It was her second message to me which was completely uncalled for. I made no comments sexually, disrespectful or anything of the nature. I wound up reporting her to Match, along with screenshots of the three messages between us.
Again, had I of been like a lot of *kitten* men then I'd say it was warranted. But, wasn't the case.1 -

I’m sorry that this happened...my only guess was that she wanted to attack from the beginning, while first appearing all sweet and spice. I would wonder about the mental health of some users as well, and this person who attacked you was most likely mentally unstable. I think it was a good idea to report her, because it’s only right that mentally healthy people make themselves active on them.XxFunctionalStrengthxX wrote: »

Yep, I felt as though I was setup from the start. And I questioned her mental health as i was reading her second message and was concerned for others. I never heard back on it, so no idea if action was taken.
But, it does show that one needs to be careful regardless of their sex.0 -

That's just it. I'm not looking. I gave up a while ago and have resigned myself to being single. Possibly for the rest of my life. There is no one anywhere.1 -

Stayed overtime tonight because an idiot colleague booked off w/o informing the powers that be. Also working his shift until Monday, 8 days in a row ;the payoff will be 6 off. Anyway, I was checking inbound shipments for tomorrow, one caught my attention.. "infectious substance affecting humans(2019 novel coronavirus, strain 2019 nCoV/USA) "
There is a virology lab here, we'll be seeing a lot off these shipments, I suspect .1 -
