No...but I think we're afraid we'll just meet yet another dud or a freek.
Heck no, I'm not afraid to meet someone in person, I prefer it actually. I do date quite a bit, just haven't found the MUTUAL attraction as well as all of the other qualities I'm looking for... I thought I did a couple of times, but guys tend to turn tail and run when things look like they actually might go somewhere other than "casual."
No...but I think we're afraid we'll just meet yet another dud or a freek.
But then you may as well stay in your house because you may get hit by a car.

I just read a few blogs asking "where are the all the good men at?". I have to ask what in the hell are you looking for if you can't find a good man on these sites? Perhaps you ladies are setting your sites too high?
I know myself I have been proactive in emailing what I think are average looking women just because I think I am pretty average myself. I get replies but it is mostly small talk and it seems that none of you would actully want to go on a date. Why?
Are the women on dating sites wanting to actually date?

I can't speak for all the women on these dating sites, but I am willing to date. I would like to at least talk with the guy to see if we have anything in common before agreeing to go out. I'm just looking for a good honest man that is loving, caring and has a good sense of humor. I don't mind if he has kids, even though I don't. Someone that I can talk to and have fun with. I really don't think that this is to much to ask for.

I would love to find a good man, but they all seem to be too far a way or they are just looking for a booty call and want to see you just once a week. All I want is an honest, respectful and loyal guy. I want him to be my best friend, love, life partner...

My profile doesn't say that. I would like to meet a good guy. My expectations aren't high, but I do expect respect, kindness, honesty, wit, compatability and a few other things. That's not too much to ask. I guess I just attract people with whom I have nothing in common.

Well, icetee, I could ask the same thing - what is wrong with the men on these dating sites? I'm here to truly find someone and get frustrated myself when I find many guys I meet on dating sites are just there to play around, only wanting to chat sex, no intentions of meeting, don't really know what they want, just wanting a booty call, etc. I'm proactive myself with doing searches and sending messages. Personally I do give most guys a chance, I'm not overly picky but I do know what I want and know what I'm looking for. There also has to be an attraction...

I agree that there should be an atraction, and I know that there are alot of fruits and nuts around. Women be very careful with your first dates! But I have spoken to women on this site and others and the average date per person seems to be one or two. It is not just me! What is wrong with that? This is the internet and we can look 50 miles and not just in the same bar or town.
Are we looking too much into a single picture or maybe a paragraph? How can you not find someone you can get along with among 1000's of people? My grandparents found each other within a few miles.
If I am out of line please let me know.

I think a lot of it is that age our age (30's-40's), we've been hurt a lot and are careful about our next pick. We also know at our older age what we're willing and not willing to put up with, so we are a bit pickier than we were when we were younger and more niave. I find too that most guys just don't want a committment of any kind, but I would like to get married again, so we stand at an impass... When I do find that one or two that I'm compatible with and would like to make a go of it, they do something that I just won't tolerate and put up with (stand me up, don't call and leave me hanging - just basically awful at comunicating and being respectful of me and my time)... I never thought it would be this difficult to find someone again, but apparently it is because it's not just me that has this issue...

I think you are completely right! Except for the fact you can't really find out if someone is right for you on this site or any other. You have to go out and see the person and talk to them face to face. We should all be on a date a few times a week to find the right person.

I agree that after being in the dating acene and or married ending badly, we have alot of trust issues. I think there has to be an attraction and alot of the same interests.

I really think that some ladies think its beneath them to date man who is less educated, who makes less money,or who just might be raising his child without the mother.She also might be limiting herself because of race,religon ,age etc.Of course trust,bad relationships are the things that they will point to as reasons for being so aloof but don't they realize that we men also have had our hearts broken our faith in women shaken to the core!So ladies don't overlook what could be the mate that you have been looking for because of some superfical expectation.

After looking at the responces I notice a big difference between men and women. (If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me). And please feel free because I think it will help in the long run.
Women I think are very picky about who they date, they will size up a man (without him knowing anything about it.. (we (men)are good at that)). She will know what he likes, dislikes the way he talks, walks blah, blah, blah... and have it all ready for a relationship to happen. (in her head).
Now men... we are very simple creatures (sticks for hitting... rocks for throwing). We get a date and that is when we start to size that person up (while we are on the date)... not before!
Sex... I would have to start a new thread on that altogether!
A few dates down the line... I think women are easier to fall for a man than the other way around just because they have thought about it all already. Men are much slower to do so, but when they do it is just as deep as a woman does  (I think).
I guess what I am getting to with this (if I am correct) is if you think about the differences between men and women while you are going through all of the dating crap it may help you make better choices.
Not that it has helped me at all!
