A mind is a terrible thing to waste...

Well I've learned it I think. I had to sacrifice my twenties, and I'm still not perfect but hey can't blame a guy for trying :P

@ arealthing, to be humble is to be intellegent, and humble my lady you are not.

men are good at reading body language but we get told not to judge a book by its cover and such.

Um, where on earth did you get THAT idea from 8ball?

aceflip, ROTFLMAO!!!! Don't worry sweetie you still have a few good years ahead of you!

eheheheh AceFlip, it was 18-year old 8ball who wrote "guys over like 22 are worthless" - I'd cut him some slack, but I wouldn't take it as gospel either!

arealthing, I can understand where you are coming from. Online dating in general can be very frustrating and you have to wade through a lot of people to find someone you are really compatible with. But I think that stating all of that in a profile comes across as really negative and is not going to increase your odds of finding the right person. Sure, you may screen out some but you may also screen out some good ones that just feel that you are ready to find fault with them so they won't even try. I have seen lots of men's profiles (not on this site) that say something similar about what they don't want in a woman and it is a real turnoff.

I didn't see anything wrong with arealthing's intro. Her expectations don't seem unrealistic.

Have a great deal of sympathy for most of what you say, arealthing, and know exactly what you mean when you talk about experiences on this site. The worst are the ones who start off as if they can make intellectual, or even emotional, connections with you, and the next thing you know, they get out their webcam to have a wank (metaphorically speaking, I'd never let them go there)

This is why I am attracted to women more. I don't have to do these emotional and intellectual cartwheels just to make some kind of vague online connection.

I am happy for a man to prove me wrong (like the one who's trying to do it now, with you, on this thread) but, after several weeks of talking to a range of guys on here, they seem incapable of just chatting normally as I find with women on lesbian sites. Not sure it's an age thing, I think it's a gender thing, unfortunately. And, yes, I hate that they take you for a fool when they try their little tricks. I too deliver on responsible jobs where good quality judgments are needed but it doesn't take much logic to work out just how many male profiles here are scams, liars and/or sex-obsessed.

I can't help thinking more of the older women on here would be happier with each other if they knew what's possible with other women *controversial
