irc333 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I was wondering, can someone really afford to be picky in a small town? Can you really afford to "settle" on someone who doesn't meet your height/weight/level of attractiveness criteria if you live in a more suburban area? IN the short geographic region where I live , there are numerous small cities and townships spread out all over between larger cities. Some single people are from an hour 2 hours from real civilization. It's amazing how I constantly keep seeing the same people on these dating sites, even complaining, "Well, I've tried this dating site before, so here I am again!" Let's face it, in smaller towns most all the "beautiful people are taken, most of them married with children" and typically come from an upper class of small town personalities (ie-founding fathers of medium sized businesses) The remaining population of,I guess you COULD say single people consist of 1. College aged kids to young for 30/40 something singles 2. Married people or people simply involved in long term rel. 3. The Jerry Springer attendees, lol (Rednecks, toothless people, boozeheads, hillbillies, highschool dropouts, riff-raff, people who can't read or write. 4. Widowed/Widower senior citizens That's pretty much it, of course there's people like myself spread out all over the place, spotty, small selection of left over singles that can read, write, and put word together write as opposed to the rest of the population. The somewhat educated, no kids, no baggage, in decent shape and active. THESE particular single people I'm always seeing pop up on dating sites, and then disappearing, only to RE-appear again...whining in their profiles, "Well, I'm back here again, giving this another shot to see if I can find someone!" This one, is funny, has a birds eye view of her face and cleavage. What's with women holding their cameras above their heads, to have the angle peer downward toward their boobs? and as their doing that, look up innocently at the camera? lol. And then complain how they can't find a decent guy....that one in particular she's lookin' for a guy, and suprsingly, I match her criteria. I emailed her last year, only to get ignored of course (just like so many men do)..and she's back at it again. She's kind of on the chunky side, but I find her cute...maybe that's part of her problem. I've thought about emailing the same woman once a year, or again when they "reappear" to see if perhaps "saw the error of their ways". Some complain they weren't able to find anyone, or no one met their criteria...in this small town....one said she gave up on meeting men in public...because they were mostly 20 years old...and she's in her mid 30's...so she was back on the site....so that means apparently ONLINE is her only means of meeting single men. I guess that's why you could say I'm posting about online dating on here because, well, if you live in a small town, that's sometimes all you got to meet other singles, don't get me wrong, I do go out in public....but you'll see couples holding hands and smooching all over the place in the romantic down town areas. Or if you're out grocery shopping, it's a married mommy with 3 screaming kids runnin' around her grocery cart...and she's only 22, lol (Yes A LOT of married people that start off YOUNG around here) Even the bars consist of mostly couples going out together. Yes, there ARE single people around the geographical area where I live, but....they're standards are too high, thus why they remain chronically single and long time fictures of dating sites. So in conclusion, can anyone who lives in a small region of their neck of the woods verify they've seen people like this? Can these people really afford to be so picky? I thought I read about someone here that said they only know of 5 qualified singles in their area, and nothing more?
