I just love stiring up emotion and stimulating conversation, admittedly sometimes things get a little heated in the forums... MY only excuse is that I am passionate about anything I'm willing to put my name on...
I am such a prick... Screw em... Life is good... Praise be to Jah...

Oh yes we see it. The thing to remember is that some people are still licking their wounds, and hopefully their attitudes will improve with time. Others may have other issues, enough said. And still yet, others may just be bitter angry people who will just stay that way, and they might just find bitter, angry people to hook up with. But I am in complete agreeance with you OP that a little optimism does go a long way.

The TRUTH about internet dating after 7 years.
I used print personal ads in a Dallas newspaper from 1983 until 1999 when they stopped running the ads. Everything is now internet dating.
What worked (the print ads) gave way to this Internet shit that does NOT work except for a handful who would have no trouble meeting anyone in the real world.
The print ads were mostly written by people that were shy, not great social skills, no way to meet someone etc
This new breed that uses the Internet are nothing but liars, cheats, complainers.
The ones that complaint he loudest would not know a good potential date if they were bite in the a** by that person. People are so full of themselves on online date sites.
I have given 7 YEARS after the print ads dies to find someone on line.
I meet one flaky woman,. a hooker and someone not over her ex boyfriend.
With pint ads, I had more dates than I could go on. So much for being patient.
Internet dating DOES not work.

I gave it 6, and learned some hard lessons along the way, so I can relate to your frustration BUT I also met a whole bunch of realllllllly awesome people (men AND women) through forums such as these on another site..and I see them IRL too! While the dating part doesn't work for everybody, I'm very grateful for the real life friendships that have come out of it.

True enough, but it gets very contentious in these forums. We, I would hope, try to find someone with similar views and values when we set out to find a date. The forum folks are just who happens to be there. We can pick our dates but can't pick who is in a forum. We can only choose whether to engage in debate or not.
I agree.
we are all facing challenges and fighting battles. I personally hate confrontations and conflicts. Actually, I have become quite fond of some of you and look forward to your responses on these threads.
Life is just waaay too short to engage in unhealthy debates (I don't mind a healthy fair debate).I guess this forum helps weed out some obnoxious, hateful people. Most of you are just great.BUT again, I do love the FUNNY -borderline questionable - responses some of you give even though I don't always agree (EvilEddy, etc).
Remember to count your many blessings...and we all have them.
