Internet Dating
I’m back on the web, looking for my next last love! And I am enjoying it no more than I did the last time. For me, the reason it is frustrating is that so many women say they want a romantic, honest, open man, but don’t respond to my emails. I have pretty much come to the conclusion that for most women, what they think they are looking for is just an abstract; a concept; and that when they find out that such a man may actually exist, they either disbelieve it or decide that is not really what they want after all. Or at least they are happy to go on wanting it but not getting it.
Perhaps my style of introduction isn’t correct. This usually involves touching on aspects of their profiles and being very honest about where I match up. I’d probably do better to bullshit my way through and be whatever I thought she wanted to read. But I don’t believe in facades, either in me or in a potential mate. Besides which, no middle aged woman would believe a sweet talking pack of lies, would she…. even if it was exactly what she wanted to hear and delivered by an adonis!
There are so many superwomen looking for men. They have such full lives; they travel the world on a whim. One wonders how they keep the jobs they are so very successful in. And almost every one of them is a fitness fanatic! A favourite criterion of theirs is that the man is a hard worker who loves his career. That counts me out as I work to live rather than the other way around. I certainly think most of them explode the myth that men are more superficial in their criteria for women than the other way around. And whereas I get my fair share of looks and smiles when I’m outdoors, I’m not a hunk and I’m not tall, so on paper, I don’t do as well as I do in person.
You would think that by the ages of 40 or 50 something, people would have learned enough from the fact that they are single still, to think they might need to change their patterns. But in this regard alas, whatever women think of men, they tend to the same levels of stupidity they label us with.
But it doesn’t do to get downhearted. Somewhere, she is out there. The exception and not the rule.
I am attaching the two articles I wrote on this subject two years ago.
‘Cyber Dating for the over 40’s’ is followed by ‘The pitfalls of cyber dating - A tongue in cheek look at the lies and pretensions’
