    We really need a “why i think you’re single” thread

    Totally agree, LOL. Having said that, I might have gone long enough to try and dip my toe into online dating... *sigh* I guess that will be my version of the above.

    @Nerdswrkout2_1978 I echo the others' disbelief....

    1, 2, 4-7 ... I don't try to go after the same type, but that's what I seem to attract. All different, but the same. Maybe I need to find new places to look.
    BECAUSE I'M PICKY! I forget that I'm not the 110lb cutey I used to be (but I'm on my way to getting there again!!) and I tend to aim REAL High I guess! lol.

    But 1 & 8 if I had to pick. But..... I finally have a crush which feels soooo good! I haven't found anyone attractive in like 5 years and I'm in the prime of my life!!!

    I'm not even picky, but I definitely aim higher than I can achieve. I've never been the cutie... I'm sure that has something to do with it, too.

    I also wonder if I lost my chance because I had dated two guys who were both very into me after college. I think they would have married me... but I wasn't quite there yet and ended things. Can't help but wonder if they were my two chances and now I'm just going to be alone forever.

    If you are unsure what type of person you want to attract, maybe find out your love style. I read this article and took the survey and I was really surprised at first that it could be so accurate, but it totally was. I always fall for the same couple of things. Every time. Which is useful to know when it happens. At least you know what to look for. :wink:

    Link didn't work for me and I was curious, got another handy? Or the title to find elsewhere?

    I can't help it, I'm just very picky.
    You'd think a woman would appreciate a guy with clean feet though.

    At the age of 60, I've started internet dating. Is it common to have great chemistry online, again over the phone and then nothing in person? It's such a disappointment and has happens 3 out of 3 dates now. How do I break this trend?

    Its just a symptom of online dating. Its easy to have chemistry with someone when your imagination is filling in all the gaps. Plus its such a different medium to get to know people in a text based way first.

    That makes sense, but it really sucks.
    And what's with Ghosting? I'd think men in my age group would be mature enough to say "It was nice meeting you, but I don't feel we are a good match"
    Chances are that I feel the same and if I don't, I'll get over it and move on fast enough.
    Ok, rant over. Thanks for listening.

    It's common between men and women of all ages. It's just much easier to ghost. Apps have made dating the absolute worst because it places us in this disposable society. Sadly just something to get use to, the landscape of dating has changed a lot.

    Good luck in your search though.

    Every now and then i see a flash of brilliance in your posts

    Course they’re really really few and far between

    5, 7, a little of 8.
    When I lose a bunch of weight stuff always happens, new jobs, promotions, GFs. I've been mostly not at a healthy weight for the last 15 years.

    On OKC I have had 0% luck!!! New pics, edit the profile, lots of messages, lots of like....nothing but crickets....weird the different experiences isn't it? I understand women get dozens of unappreciated responses, which is bad, I get zero responses, which is bad.
