I am not adverse to finding someone and have over the years tried several dating sites. I even dated two guys that I met, each one for a few months. Every one else who contacted me seemed to think that because I was over 50 years old that I was desperate for a roll in the hay. Give me a break! Ultimately, I gave up on dating sites for many years, but signed up on one again recently.

I decided to try a more 'reliable' site that offered guided communication- I did not have to give out any personal info in order to get to know the other person and visa versa. What a waste of money! I am attractive, intelligent, talented, financially independent, etc., etc., but whoa! I am not desirable because I am over weight???? It is not like I am as wide as I am tall! What the heck is wrong with guys my age? They need arm candy to feel virile? Have they taken a look in the mirror? They think sagging muscles, wrinkles, blotches and moles are more attractive than excess body fat? If the objections to my person were because I smoked I could tolerate that better, but this is not the issue as these guys are smokers as well. I would like to call them something Eddie would immediately delete. "Cant tolerate: people who are overweight." And I have to exchange numerous 'guided communications' before reading that???

I belong to several predominantly male organizations but don't date those guys. "Don't sh-t where you eat." I may have to rethink that principle. More likely, I will just go on being single and not giving a darn. Wanting someone in my life is not the same thing as needing someone.
