Primaries (And Secondaries)

I confess--I didn't vote in Indiana's primary yest. Why bother, when there were no opposed Democrats on the ballot. I could have lied and said I was a Republican just to vote for Richard Lugar. He lost to a Tea Party candidate. Good grief.
I sometimes hate my state.

I'm pretty disgusted with women these days. On my dating service site, several expressed interest in me, but when I try to communicate with them, they don't reciprocate.

This has been a pattern my whole life. That is, I've never been the one to terminate a correspondent relationship. (Well, nearly never.) I've almost always sent the last email or letter. It's happening now. Four women have ignored my "follow-ups". I'm trying to figure if it's something about me. I can understand if once a woman has met and didn't like me, she'd put a halt to continuing. But none has gotten that far ('cepting last summer's brief "fling" which still mystifies me as to the ending). Do I rub women the wrong way (figuratively speaking)? I'm 69 years old and still clueless! Oh well.

I still like my freedom and independence. I'm happy and satisfied with my "lot" in life (that's an old saying). I've said it many times before: I'm seldom "lonely", just alone. Absent is loving and being loved. I miss that.

Thanks for listening.

I know what you mean about both dating and the dating sites. I was signed up to one (or two) and it was disappointing. I ended up with NO responses or just inquiries into sexual encounters. Yeesh! read through what men are looking for- it will amaze you. They all want slender, well-built women (arm candy) or just sex- which you don't learn until after you've exchanged a few messages and it comes time to meet face to face. I think we keep trying because we are by nature social creatures.

It's "greensingles.com, but I think you have to "join"--password and all that jazz. It's no big deal. I'm staying single!

Not sure why you don't get to follow up. When you respond, what do you say? You're a pretty independent fellow, do you emphasize that? I'm just guessing here. Or you are focusing on women who are the wrong sort for you and they know it before you do.

Beats me. I've always figured it was them, not me. But don't we all think that?

Yeah.

True.

Hmmm I wish I could help ya with the online profile. I love looking at and tweeking them, from the female perspective, although I have been told by many men I am not the norm.

Perhaps I should have you write one for me! I think mine is good, however. I'd show it to you, but then you'd have to join to see it. Today's another day (and still no female response).

I know exactly what you mean!!! For me its always "Show me your webcam"!!!! Dating sites can be sooooooooo depressing some times! Hang in there though,. You are a nice guy and it will come....

In my total adult life, I've been married about 25 years worth. And produced 4 kids out of it. So, overall, it's not like I've completely missed out. And I know the pros and cons of having a partner. I waffle back and forth.

I miss loving and being loved also, Randy. However, I still have not gone the internet dating route. Too scared, I guess.

Don't bother. According to my sister, all the men are duds. Perhaps the women automatically pace me in that category, sight unseen!

Maybe you need a boy friend.(kidding) not sure what the problem there.Maybe they want a sugar daddy.Your better off being single.Independent etc.
Well what every you do.Good luck.What is all of this advertising going on here.Something new?

I have enough men in my social life (golfers, etc.--not lovers!). At least I don't get depressed over my love life--or lack thereof. Hadn't noticed the ads, but now that you mention it......
