Dating Blues

I just don't understand how so many people are meeting people online. I have a profile up on multiple dating sites and the only men that contact me are out of shape, old, and bald. I am 37 years old and am in great physical condition and people often comment how I look like I am 21 years old. I have a great personality and have traveled the world. Dating is becoming hopeless.

.. they're not shallow like you are?

I mean, going on a date with a fat old bald guy, maybe you'd like him? Or are you looking for a fashion accessory, not a man to take care of you if you get sick? Relationships are mostly about mutual care. You sound like a teenager. Good luck in LTC with no kids and no husband to check up on you.

Why are you discounting the guys that contact you? They may be amazing. Is online dating only for the physically perfect? I'm sure so many people are overlooked who are so worthy of attention.

Few people are meeting online, guys anyways. Tinder,POF, Match etc
stats show that only 10-15% of men get any attention vs 75-80% of women who get attention.

Wrong site? Maybe the wrong time. The sensible people could be waiting until May for their shot, leaving you with the horny dregs!

Here’s a tip. Go outside and meet someone.

Only desperate men look online for whatever or pretend love !!
Why cause they have no balls?
Look outside
Fresh air too.:)

I did online dating a number of years ago and found it quite discouraging - I'm also attractive and in shape, and basically got hit on by guys older than my Dad, guys who wanted me to be their bit on the side "when they're in town", or who'd message forever but never want to meet (married?), or really young guys. I also found I didn't like what it did to me - I began judging the men as well, and that's when I realized I had to shut it down and walk away. Now I figure I'll just see who I meet in real life (whenever that can happen), although I am volunteering and meeting people that way via Zoom. All the best to you, and hope you meet your special someone!

Would you rather what I get - "shy" guys who "help" (see: manipulate) you for yrs into asking them out because in reality they're too cowardly to ask you but have all the confidence and vanity to assume everything in your life's about them. Lol. I'll trade you, I've dated men like that, they were great. The only reason it didn't work out was them wanting kids.

Don't shoot

It's sad but 37 year old men probably set their age range to 35 max. Just lie about your age, sounds like you should be able to get away with it!

There's plenty of Tube videos, where women pretend to be a guy and are dismayed and shocked at the lack of results and ghosting by women.
