Male Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I've lost all interest in dating. I think mostly due to using dating sites, and dealing with women that play games, and have no maturity or manners when it comes to interacting like an adult. I actually had 2 women contact me in the past week, before I canceled my dating site account, but didnt have one fiber in me that cared to talk to them. I dont know when I'll regain my interest. 1
Gloria25 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I've lost all interest in dating. I think mostly due to dealing with men that play games, and have no maturity or manners when it comes to interacting like an adult. I actually had a few men contact me in the past week, before I reopened my dating site account, but didnt have one fiber in me that cared to talk to them. And, I spent months wasting time misinterpreting signs of a crush who will never even breathe the same air that do. I dont know when I'll regain my interest. Edited March 17, 2015 by Gloria25 3
rbrock2323 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I've felt that way for a long time. I tried a dating site, but the women didn't want what they claimed they wanted. They were all looking for "good, honest, reliable guys with jobs, etc"...yeah right. I was on it long enough that I noticed several of the women who found "the one!" returned later to the site all pissed off. They were women I messaged but were too good to take interest in me. The others are mostly looking for someone to step in and take care of them and their multiple children. They don't have jobs, prospects, or any plans for the future. They just need a real man to step in and save them from their lives. I've learned to pass the time by indulging myself in the hobbies I like and discovering new things. I love cars, so I devote most of my free time restoring the ones I have. I've started landscaping around my house and I've been getting creative with that. I work out everyday, play racquetball with my coworkers. If I want to take a vacation somewhere with friends or family, I do thanks to my generous vacation time my work provides. I love it. At this point I don't think any woman can fill any void in my life. I'm sure they're out there, but they aren't showing this guy any interest. I'm fine with that, I'd rather spend my time on things that matter. 1
Gloria25 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Well, that's not me... I have no kids and am not looking for some guy to pay my bills... I just want a guy who is in shape, has his own stuff (like car, home, savings), and who doesn't do drugs (including weed). But, that's not on OLD. Lost of fakes, flakes, "artists" (in other words, no real job and no aspirations for one either) who appear to think a "dating" site is the same as Craigslist, Ashley Madison, and Tinder. Also, a lot of them already got kids and are looking more for a step-mom. I believe I have a full life, but I could use some sexo now and then and just a guy to take me out to dinner now and then. After that, he can go home and let me be 1

A guy that I can see twice a week, go out, maybe hang out on a Saturday night, sleep with and then we each go our separate ways.. 1

How old are you and what age range of women are you dating? 1
Price2Play Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Yes OLD does get very old & can suck the life out of you. IRL is the only better option but like y'all I'm sticky to my goals & hobbies, family life. Every woman I've met of OLD while she may have a decent career & have no kids, everyone of them was a pot head. BLAH, where are all the good woman at... 1
Author Male Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 I dont know what the women in my area are looking for. I think their perception has been skewed from online dating. The myriad of choices gives them a subconscious mindset that they can find someone better. If you meet someone decent without a dating site, I think you tend to give them more of a chance.
rbrock2323 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 It's a shame the women in this thread aren't closer to me..

The myriad of choices gives them a subconscious mindset that they can find someone better. If you meet someone decent without a dating site, I think you tend to give them more of a chance. True. Not that females ever needed any encouragement in this department. I've posted this link before, and it supports the same conclusion... the more choices we perceive to be available, the more difficult it is to make any choice, and the less likely we are to be happy with the choice we make. He uses online dating in one example, but you can easily apply all of the principles to it. The Paradox of Choice - Barry Schwartz
