musings...ok rant


I'm having a tough time on here. Maybe because I am new to it. I'm not sure what it is. I thought I could check it out and see if it was worth upgrading. I'm a standard member and can't see pics and few profiles. People flirt/hotlist me but I can't email them.
The majority of the emails say....hello or how are you? and they don't send pic or profile. What am I suppose to do with that? Make me do all the work getting it out of them?
The few good ones I get comment on something in my profile. Or say something to give me something to go on. Plus they tend to send pic/profile.
I've been on two meets and they didn't go well. I won't say more will leave it at that. Anyone out there have advice? Suggestions?
I think it takes a lot of effort to meet and click after emailing a bit. I don't think I have it in me to have a date every night with no chemistry. Especially when you meet and they aren't who they say they are. Comments?

Yes Peaches....... this is quite common among the men and the women on here. I have simply just walked right out on a meet because they were not at all like their 10 year old photo. I understand that men have done the same thing to some women I know on here. I guess it is what it is. I have talked with many but only had a few great encounters on this site. I think that those who travel for business or are willing to travel may have more options but how many can really do that? And again, it only add more options. Like anything else, quality experiences are kind of rare. Keep looking Sweetheart.

Yes this site is kind of hard to figure out. I have corresponded heavily with numerous people and been on several meets and a couple of encounters. I think a lot of people are one person on one side of the computer and then the real side is totally different. Seems like a lot of people are very superficial as well. Most of my meets have been a little suprising. I have been stood up a couple of times (per previous comment). I look for and probe people to be honest about what they are looking for. I also try to temper expectations about myself when dealing with people. My biggest peeve is dealing with people who just quit corresponding with not explanation. Good luck because it just seems to be the nature of the beast!

Hello Peaches... I encounter the same problem as I am also a standard member.
I would like to converse with you and hopefully set up a meeting over drinks.

This is not the easiest thing to do, many online persona's are different when face to face. I have been on three...2 were nothing like described when it came to their personality. It is a process we have to go through.

Hang in there and good luck!

Peaches - I know some folks just may not be good at describing themselves or making themselves interesting. Others figure a slight mistruth won't hurt anything (little white lie)prolly like their lil pecker ... lol and others just flat out lie and haven't learned that they will have to face the truth and that will ruin any good they have built up. It all falls back to honesty is the best policy. Keep looking and don't give up, it may be that you need to ask more questions before you meet, but you do the right thing, just leave. I give you koodos for that, being brave enough, good job!
