It was a complete and utter disaster! <BR/>I went on 22 dates and all of them were bad except three...The three that were actually nice had overly photoshopped their pictures and lied about their ages(shaving off two or three years is onething...But when you're 50ish and say you're 39 that's another entirely).<BR/>Between them and the jerks who had, "Looking for a LTR" in their profile but really wanted to hook up it was just too much...And don't get me started on the Asian guy I went out with that just "wanted to see what it was like to be with a black man."<BR/>You would be surprised to know I had these experiences on Yahoo! personals and Match.com.<BR/>Online dating is the pits, forreal. I deleted all of my profiles and I've relegated myself to just meeting someone the old fashioned way...Like at church or something.Prince Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17887009695613050017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-72323933306457688072009-02-17T07:04:00.000-05:002009-02-17T07:04:00.000-05:00I reached the same point last year and began delet...I reached the same point last year and began deleting or hiding my profiles. Nowadays I don't have any interest in the whole dating online thing. I remember waking up and grabbing the laptop to check if I had messages.

Right before you finalize your decision to delete, you get a message that says "Your action cannot be reversed." I could care less. It's basically a sex site. If you're looking for a relationship, you won't find it there.<BR/><BR/>Relationship-minded LGBT folks have to develop better ways of networking and fellowshipping.

The funny thing of being a member of those infamous sites is that some of the profiles have the same old pics from years ago. One guy had this pic from when I guess he was a young stud and then when I saw him on cam, he looked like an old man and I was like..there's no way I'm meeting you..*LOL*.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927913231608056129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-23987192787425227602009-01-31T20:17:00.000-05:002009-01-31T20:17:00.000-05:00Where you at the club last night?

It is crazy though..the lies, the useless idealism, everyone looking for "something real" when in actuality its most likely an ILLUSION. I would say that with restraint, one can function with them. But when they are gone, it does allow an individual who truly aspires to be whole to encounter new beauty in the flesh...and most often, to grow himself.iKensingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249898690705699885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-46985265679341033992009-01-31T03:59:00.000-05:002009-01-31T03:59:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.iKensingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249898690705699885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-73222436518257357412009-01-31T00:27:00.000-05:002009-01-31T00:27:00.000-05:00No complaints about this action.

I read a lot of books then.<BR/><BR/>After a while, the loneliness caught up. The hormones kick in. The lack of options become apparent. Something in you waivers. A about a month ago I learned about BGC.com I think I have a different perspective now. I have had some good conversations with some guys. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I will be on it too much longer....I have no intention of carring it into 2010.<BR/><BR/>I say that because I sincerely you you avoid the trap I found myself in, and if you do PLEASE SHARE! =)Pharoahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778683145960148893noreply@blogger.com
