--- Quote from: maggs30 on August 12, 2020, 01:00:11 PM ---Usually if you do the paid versus free sites you have a little better luck. I talked to quite a few but only chose to meet my one. I got plenty of far away guys, rude guys, and dick pic guys. My guys profile sounded pathetic. He had lost all hope just like me. It's truly a needle in a haystack but I think I may have found a golden needle.
--- End quote ---
I was on Match for 3 years. I exhausted the good matches within the first couple of months. Keep in mind I live in a small college town and am in my late 30s. When I joined I was in my mid 30s. I would only get emails from 50 somethings with kids, divorcees and the like and anyone I messaged did not write me back. Not to toot my own horn and please do not engage in ageism by calling me old, -fair warning-but other than the age factor , there's nothing wrong with me. Men complain about women not holding a convo-I speak 4 languages and have two higher ed degrees, from top universities, a PhD, and tenure, and I am a published author. Men complain about women turning out to be fat. Here are the stats; I am 5 5, currently 120 lb on the dot, and 115 at my leanest, and 125 at my heaviest. I've never been 'fat' or overweight, ever. Men talk about women being not fit. I ski, I run, I lift weights, I am working out 2 hours on average per day. Men talk about women wanting a free meal ticket on the apps. I have my own car and am thinking of purchasing my own house. Men complain about foreign women being in for the greencard. Newsflash, I am a dual citizen, earned by my own advanced education and sponsored by the university that hired me. Men complain about single moms. I have no kids. Men complain about women putting on pressure. I can't even fathom co-habitation; I am Aquarian. Men complain about unsophisticated women. I am European, and I've seen 15 countries.
So?
I was lured by the promise of that lone needle in the haystack of the apps again and again. Isn't 7 years of misery not enough? I was barely 30 7 years ago. If it was meant to be on the apps, I'd have found someone decent in all this time.
