I swipe right 95% of the time. Maybe I should look into one of those auto swipe apps. I do tinder, number, pof, and OkCupid daily. It's a lot of swiping.
I use to try reading all of each persons profiles but I didn't get any results so such a waste of time like other guys said.

Yeah. O, but that's the reality dating for not handsom successful men is sad and pathetic.
Ut if there's a slim chance that one of thouse hundreds of girls I swip on a day might like me back I'll take it. Most women are quite attractive, so if I match I'll read their profile to see if we'd work out. Women must do the same, most the women I get matched to clearly say I'm not good enough to date them in their profiles, yet if they'd read mine they'd know this, so why did they march me?
I dont know I respect their wishes and don't message them. I suppose it goes back to me following rules and policies.
Others who liked me but don't have a list of requirements but clearly too attractive for me, just ignore me. I'll assume everyone woman who liked me did so by accident. It's the most logical reason. Which is why I'm in no rush to pay OkCupid to see the 30 people who liked me.

When I first tried online dating I was a little more focused on looks. I would say that of all the matches I had, exactly zero I would consider attractive. There was also a number of profiles with multiple women pictured and the one who had the profile was usually the worst of them all.

That's not getting into their snooty profiles. How I wish I could go back in time and tell them THEY should consider themselves lucky to talk to ME and not the other way around! I wouldn't put too much stock into online dating: I had countless women send me a nice message, go on a successful 30 minute first date only to make excuse after excuse to avoid a second and most are still single to this day. What's bizarre is that they contacted me! ! I guess I only scored a 99% on those tests :roll:

They tend to be more picky
, divorced and have multiple kids who are in their teens ,so no.

I don't want kids atleast until 2 years of being together if ever.

Closest would been a lady I talked to on here who was nice.

Older women won't be able to provide the type of young relationship I need

I'll get matched few times and they ignore me. I'll also get messages sometimes but their profile is very clear they don't want a loser like me.
I suspect they accidentally swipe yes on me
The others are spam bots trying to get me to give them my card number. Doesn't seem like any woman legitimately likes me or finds me attractive :cry:

Have you tried? One can always make clear that you don't want to be their daddy.

Since they have an infinite of options so they get stuck in a loop "the next guy will be probably better" - till they become corpses.

They get addicted to greed - if you have literally hundreds and maybe even thousands of guys contacting you so there's no way that no one is compatible enough.

Their kids will always till priority(rightly so) that isn't the relationship I want. I want it t just be the two of us having fun and cuddling etc. with kids they be there all the time and go on trips with them etc. I want the priority to be the couple and relationship.
I dont know if I ever want kids anymore.
How would a little long term relationship with eventually marriage work with you not being their parent? Impossible eventually you're have to take on a sub(can make decisions) parental role. It's unavoidable.

Probably to no. I want a youthful teenager like relationship. Just about fun, romance and getting to know each other. People in their 30-40s have already had all that as teenagers and want a serious settledown, plan for retirement relationship. I see them on dating sites and Craigslist . They all have really great jobs own a house or two and multiple cars.

Not all women of that age have children or want to have children. Childless adult women do exist, and we are becoming more prevalent.

About the kids wilburforce here above is right.
About people in their 30-40s already having had that kind of relationship, you are wrong. Actually people in their teens already had that kind of relationship, and and that's why you called it a "youthful teenager like relationship".
Perhaps they see that you want that kind of relationship and they don't want it, as they are not teens anymore and they've been there already. If I can give an advice stop thinking about teenlike relationships, as you are not a teen anymore as well. That time is gone.
Also why do you complain about women having dealbreakers if you have them too?

Most the women in my area seem to have kids, I even see 18 old women who have 2-3 kids. That means they had to start having them by 16ish.

Well sorry as I never had that it's what I want. It's the type of love I'm able to offer. I never had it as a teen to then mature to maturation love. I'm playful and silly. It's who I am. I'm not ambitious or serious all the time.

Mine are not about how much money someone makes or where they live, it's about who they are and their personality. You know what makes you you. A job and money don't define people. Your not a mailman that's your job. His hobbies and interests are who he is, delivering mail is just how he makes money to eat. Seems a lot of women are more interested in dating job titles then the man who has the title,that's wrong. And it's not their fault western society defines people by their job, not who they are. It should be the other way around.

Wish I'd been born in the 1900-1920s

But thanks for you on par as usual depressing posts to me

In the 1900-1920 jobs were even more important when choosing a partner. That's if you were not sent of to war.

I get what you mean though why should you have to date cougars or people with kids? You have your own preferences and are allowed to stick to them.

People have kids at 18 in your area :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull:
