irc333 Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 There was someone on here who had a post that stated "There are 5 eligible singles in my town that are datable" or something to that affect, this post MIGHT or Might not apply to them, so correct me if I'm wrong about that post. So this post is more about geographic desirabilty, and what options you might have available to you, and the abilty to possibly overlook things like strict height requirements or some minor physical flaw and possibly make due with the options that are available to you. I had been browsing the personal ads, and there's typically a LOT Of what I refer to as "veteran online daters" or just plain perpetual online daters, where they one the site forever or perhaps YO-YO back and forth deleting their profiles and then creating a new one again a few weeks later. I ran into such a profile of a woman that lives locally, again I live in a more smaller community. And from time to time, there are some people that state in their profile "okay, I'm trying this again, and we'll see what happens" This woman actually says, "Yeah, that's right, I'm back on this site again, I've been either getting tired of this or winds up dissapointed" and just keeps going back and forth. She had also stated most men she meets in public are note even legal drinking age and she's in her 30's. Which is true about small towns, either 1. People beyond the age of 25 and esp. 30's are married or have a live-in S.O. 2. Those that are available are either senior citizen aged or the other end of the age spectrum, a young freshman/sophmore college age. 3. People like me, one of the rather eligible singles in the area that are average, in their 30's or 40's ,but do have something to offer a single lady like hereself. 4. The "good looking hunks" in their 30's are already spoken for (married with children) To me, if a woman (or man) is going through lengths to complain about their dating situation in their profile, something might be suggested to them: 1. Move to a larger metropolitan area where more eligible singles (your age) area available 2. If relocating is not an option, you might want to start giving those average joe's that email you a shot, (the ones that are eligible, though perhaps don't meet your criteria 100% - and if you think that's settling, it's not....it's called being realistic. So that being said, wouldn't it make sense to perhaps adjust criteria if you can't afford to be picky....geographically? 3. Just don't date.....(if you're not willing to relocate) I mean, like this one example this woman is yo-yo'ing back and forth from real life encounters with men who are too young for her, and online dating. Now, I'm not suggesting either man OR woman "settle" but just to be more realistic. I mean, you live in a small, limited ge
