Why is it so dam hard just to get a date nowadays? My god I usually end up paying for everything and still its like these women on these sites want to turn down a free meal? So if they dont want to meet for a date what exactly do they want can anyone clue me in?

I suppose it's difficult for many people. Different people looking for different things & not everyone is honest...about lots of things.
I myself won't go out on a date just for a free meal if I'm not interested. I can eat at home or buy my own meal.

Good responses thanks. Seems many are having the same issues as me. I'm on several other sites and they aren't much better. I either have women 50 to 100 miles away that are interested. Probably because they've already burned up the options near them. Or none near me interested. Its also interesting the horror stories from some of the women I have talked to as far as dates and men. From what they've told me I'm a par above what they have dated but not interested in me?
I wish women were more honest as to what exactly they'er looking for. If it's a guy with money, his own place, a dream job, state as much. But I can also take a hint. In my age group of 50 and up is pretty strange. You either have very successful women who aren't going to share seeking equally successful men. Or you have women with children still at home looking for a baby daddy. I guess this could be all age groups though. And single men with every thing going on at my age are pretty rare. And even these guys aren't doing so good either don't be fooled.
Yep it looks more pointless the longer you stick with it I'm afraid. So I guess my question is why not date someone? It isn't going to freaking kill you. Is alone really better than enjoying the company of another human being even is he or she isn't your dream mate? My god I'm certainly not hideous a jerk or a disgusting pig. And maybe that's why these people are alone? So stubborn and head strong in their belief only Mr or Miss perfect will make me happy. Its really a sad world we live in if that's what its come down to. Mc perfect or nothing.

I was dating a nice women but she was about an hours drive away. I had to drive there, spend my money on the date, and drive back and forth another 20 minuets to get any where to do anything she lived in a small town. Then drive home. But she made it clear she was in a custody battle with one of her exes over her 11 year old daughter. Had a worthless 18 year old son living with her also. And could not have me over. Oh and no sex. I could live with that actually as it was just nice to date. But I didn't see it going any where so why bother to continue having to drive all that way and spend my money and gas? She also wasn't working and had a degree. And that so far is the extent of my dating record since I moved to Memphis in September. And this is a much bigger town than I left In Florida and my god its worse!

Dh been went to waste, not like it used to be too many trolls on here, scammers so your best bet is to get out the house and date, u might find some that actually want to date and not a free meal ticket

When this site had its betta days this site was packed with members but I too believe only because of cold weather keeping people inside but once weather broke for the good people went on to meet people NOT on this site.
Like I said this site's negatives are geography and timing ...if both work, live x amount in distance from each other WHO makes the move to each other in this economy. Young people could move to be together but not when your up in are...jmo

It goes both ways in regards to being honest. I am a single mom of one adult son who happens to have special needs. I have always been up front about it on this site. As well as other sites. In my experience, most, not all, but most, only want sex. I even had one guy tell me that I had to accept the fact that he wants to have a triad relationship and have it in the a** since he was going to have to "put up" with my son. I told him to kiss my a** and move on.
So both genders deal with all kinds. Sometimes, it's just better to be alone.

I agree. And your honesty is to be commended. I would think my age group would be more understanding and mature. I've found it to be nothing of the sort. There's an old saying you have to give a little to get a little. Think so many have been through multiple bad relationships and not willing to go the extra distance to trust anyone who doesn't fit their exact mold. They will remain alone no doubt. And this site is no different than the other two I'm one. As a matter of fact the same women are here. I wish they would just state exactly what they're looking for as far as a mate. Would make life allot easier. I'm finding most don't even have the time to date. Or are looking for financially secure single men. Good freaking luck with that one! How many men go through a divorce and retain their financial stability and status? And like me if they haven't married we're considered freaks. They're clearly looking for a unicorn in a field full of donkeys.

from packersbabe920:

That's a tough thing to deal with I'm sure. Honestly at my age I really don't want to deal with children. Especially two or three, or an 19 or 24 year old still living at home. It makes it really difficult to be spontaneous and concentrate solely on the woman you're trying to date. I'm not saying it's impossible just creates even more stress. I've tried it never works for me. Us men we have needs to.

People our age should be more understanding and mature.
That kind of contradicts your comment about men having needs.
Women have needs as well, single women who happen to have special needs children/adult children, do too. We would love to be spontaneous. We would love it if a family member would be willing to care for our child(ren) so that we can be spontaneous with someone she is dating or even just friends with.
That is where the understanding and maturity comes in to play. Yet, most men as I said before, don't want to deal with it.
You know how rough it is being a single mom with an adult son who is disabled when:
She is out shopping, eating at a restaurant or movie....and need to go to the bathroom? She has to take him in there with her so that no harm comes to him out there alone.
She has to put his wheelchair, taken apart, into the car and she is so exhausted she might drop the chair while trying to put it in the car.
Having to deal with your disabled (adult) child when having a meltdown? Hitting you, punching you, and no one there to protect mom?
It SUCKS.
Mom wants a life too. Yet men only want one thing. It would be nice if MEN would consider being mature and understanding when a mom can't be spontaneous or whatever.
Sorry for the rant. It just spilled out of me. LOL I read your response at a bad time.

If women expect men to be financial stable and have great jobs. Why shouldn't those same men have preferences over who they date? And sorry your child is a monster. But guess what? That's not any man's problem is it? And to expect men to deal with it is pretty ridiculous when they clearly don't have to. Except for the one you had the child with. Now where is he?

He wanted me to have an abortion.
That's where he is. I had already separated from him when I found out I was pregnant. I wasn't going to go back to him just because of that.
I don't expect the man to be rich by any means. Some women might but not me. Have a job, yes. It shows he is responsible and not a free loader. However, I prefer to have a job myself and have had one for most of my life. I recently retired after 26 years.
Never received a penny from him either for 30 years. That is my son's age.
Do I expect a man to deal with my "monster?" No. He is not like that all the time. He's a fighter and has been through a lot actually.
No, they don't have to. You are correct. But you know what? I wouldn't want to date a man who couldn't or wouldn't want anything to do with my child.
I would deduct that most women wouldn't want a man like that either.
It takes a lot of maturity in a man to WANT to accept a woman's child(ren) who is "normal," let alone one with disabilities.
It has been interesting to read what type of person you are.
Good Luck in your search. I already found mine. I just won't marry him.
