    I love nice guys! The problem is, I also want someone I am attracted to, and can have decent conversations with.
    Now THAT is hard to find.
    I have no kids, but I've pretty much given up finding anyone else who doesn't, unless I go at least 8 years younger. Even then, they usually have a kid. Anyway, it's not a deal breaker for me, but I haven't gotten to the point of them wanting me to be stand-in Mommy, so I don't know how that would work out...
    But yeah, most guys these days just want to bang...which I'm ok with too, as long as it's up front, safe, enjoyable, and re-occurring!

    So, this topic was not started because you are currently ready to date, but because you just wanted to know how everyone else feels about the dating structure nowadays? Okay, thanks for the clarification. In that case, I really don't see why so many women keep going down that same old road, 'there aren't any more good guys out there', 'there's no more honest men', 'where did all of the gentlemen go'. All I have to say is, stop living in your perfect little fairy tale dream that there is a prince charming and the 'perfect man'. There are people, good and bad, no matter what sex. You have to give to get. Appreciate who you are with, and they will appreciate you. If it doesn't work this way, then apparently there is no compatibility there and the relationship needs to come to an end. The best advice that I can give, stop putting people in a box! No one fits the perfect stereotypical man, or the perfect stereotypical woman. Stop kidding yourself. BE REALISTIC! Nobody is perfect, but yes we can find that person who fits us the best.

    pretty sure this is why they are sending the pics. square pegs and round holes and all that.

    That is one of my challenges as well. I'm childfree, do not have kids, do not want kids, and I won't date anyone unless she is also childfree. For me, it is a deal breaker. Having said that, I search far and wide and have even traveled nearly 200 miles one-way just to get stood up. Dating is not easy, and even if I don't give up, I may never find the right woman. I've accepted that reality. It is more important to be honest with myself about what I bring to the table and what the dating world looks like than to falsely believe I'm definitely going to find the perfect match.

    Location Location Location all I can say. But i'm in the same boat@ 32. I wonder the same too. It's a scary dating scene out there and I think I might crawl back in my woman cave lol. Yet, don't lose hope. If you got the time and patience, keep trying.

    Better you know what their junk looks like right out the gate than to be disappointed in person.

    Totally not looking for hookups, etc. I am very confident, and focused in my life, career, fitness goals, etc. Im ok with being single, its not something that I MUST have right now.

    My biggest fault is that I don't really go out much. I work 50 hrs a week, from home. I feel left out of the normal things, commuting, meeting people at the gas station, etc.

    Im not looking for a fairy tale by no means, just itty bitty junk pics are just so sad!

    When a guy sends you a picture of his junk, send him a pic of the biggest, hairiest, scariest junk you can find on the internet and be like "I like yours baby...you like mine?" Then you'll never have to worry about it again. :)

    Tru Bra. It would so much easier for women to pick the real winner if guys would just line up and they could eliminate any guy packing under 8. We all know that is the true test of character, trust, temperament, kindness, intelligence, selflessness, and overall compatibility in a solid relationship.

    Stay long. Stay strong man.

    Are you upset because you aren't getting enough junk pics?? Don't give up. Join Tinder. I'm sure you'll get plenty there. :flowerforyou:

    Absolutely not! Its sickening that thats what a person resorts too.

    So you don't like junk? Why do you hate sex?

    lmao! I dont hate junk, or sex...but im not going to bed with someone i just met!

    Why?

    I've never had that issue with the junk pictures, and I dated online :/ Maybe because I used a site I had to pay for? Dunno.

    Was dating ever great? I am pretty shy, never really liked meeting new people. I don't know how things have changed, but I am glad I am not dating anymore. Is that the only difference, the technology?

    I've been single and dating for 3 years now. Guys won't approach me in person (I don't know why) and guys on line send you a bunch of nude pics and want nude pics in return. The dating scene has definitely change. I've pretty much given up.
