My experience after dating girls on this site!

Nearly every profile I read consists of a woman saying in so many words, "I want a good, sweet guy, I want someone I can trust, that will care about me." So I think hmm okay, I'm a good guy, I haven't ever cheated on anyone i've been in a relationship with, i'm honest to a fault and my parents raised to me to treat women with respect and to show compassion and caring...i'd be perfect!

Wrong, wrong, and wrong? Unfotuantly, most people's intents in a profile may on some level be true, but in a practical sense they are deluded, watered-down, and in many respects, superficial and unrealistic. I gave up thinking a long time ago that my fairy tale princess would appear off a dating site, and this has proven for years to be true. As someone who has dated girls with these types of profiles, I can tell you my input...

At first they seem like nice, "normal" (I use that term loosely) girls. The most common types are the ones who establish a great relationship with you for a week or two...then suddenly vanish into the void (You know who you are if you're reading this). Whereas others will simply create a million and a half excuses as to why the relationship shouldn't continue.

But you think, "I did everything right! I was the perfect gentleman, I treated her the way she said she wanted to be treated!". I've concluded that the truth is that many girls care more about the romance of thinking about being with someone, than actually being with someone. In some ways they prefer the misery of being alone, they wear it like a hat, or a glove, they wear it outside to work, they wear it when they come home and when they go to bed. It has become a part of them so long that this is their character, and you and me, Mr Prince charming, trying ot come in and swoop her up just isn't in her game-plan. She'd rather call you out into the forest to pick her up, and then disappear before you get there, this is her style.

Best of luck to all of you who search this (and other) Internet sites for love. I truely do mean that. In 10 years of online dating i've found nothing but disappointment. It's the story of a friend of a friend finding their spouse online and being happily married with 4 kids that keep us all coming back thinking we can get as lucky, realistically, only a few of us ever will. I suppose that is the way the cookie crumbles?
