On-Line Dating-AKA-Liars Anonymous

Recently I broke up with a man I had been dating because it just wasn't going anywhere. Newly single I decided to try the on-line dating sites. First I tried EHarmony. I did not pay, I just wanted to see what was available. I filled in the endless questions. Right away I started receiving hits & e-mails. Ron is a perfect match for you, Dave is just perfect, Bill maybe the one you are looking for. So, each day I reviewed their profile. Ron was 67, my limit is 60. Dave was 5'5", I specified no one under 6'. Bill was a Jesus freak, I stated non-religious (I'm not, I just don't want to deal with bible thumpers). Maybe two out of 20 met my requirements. You cannot browse profiles, EHarmony chooses the men for you according to your requirements. The majority of men were no where near what I requested. So why do they bother to ask, why did I spend hours filling in questions?

Next I try Yahoo personals, same thing, lots of e-mails from men, but none I was interested in.

Then I try POF. It's free & you can do searches for men you are interested in. Sounds like a good deal right? Wrong! POF SUX!

What is it about on-line dating that brings out the liar in people? Since when is "average" weight obese & when did 5'7" become 6', is athletic the new term for couch potato?

The first week on POF I got lots of messages. Like in bars, you ignore the first guys that hit on you. More than likely they have been hanging out there for years. Losers! Desperate! Players! Married!

The next week I got some interesting guys, at least according to their profile. One guy messaged me & we chatted several times before deciding to meet. His pic was just a head shot, but he said he was 55, 6'2", athletic & listed all these outdoor things he was into. He had a great personality & fantastic sense of humor. So I agreed to meet him for lunch. What do I get - a short, fat, old, really old, bald bubba. Why? If he would have been truthful maybe I would have dated him. Why lie? I was so shocked, so disappointed. I told him I was just pure disgusted with his deceipt & was so sorry he did this & I left. Boy was he pissed, he sent me numerous messages telling me what a bitch I was. Yeah, like I made him lie.

The next guy professed to be a nice, Southern gentleman, who had retired, was financially set, was looking for a long term relationship with someone who wanted to travel with him in his newly purchased RV. He too was athletic, in good shape & young for his age. We chatted a few times and agreed to meet. Liar, liar, liar! He was so fat he hadn't seen his feet in years. He made grunting noises when he walked (waddled), gross noises like he couldn't breath. Oh he was 6'2" alright, but at 500 pounds, who cares! He looked so pitiful & desperate I didn't dare just walk away, so I sat & chatted then had lunch with him. After we ate he proudly showed me his RV. He charged out to the parking lot, letting the door slam on me. Then he pointed out this old beat up truck with a camper shell on top. RV-what? Are you kidding me? I was nice, I was polite, but I never answered any of his messages again. He stalked me, he sent me messages, lots & lots of them, yuk! Finally I blocked him, so what does he do? He changes his profile name & starts sending me more messages, but duh he forgot to change his picture. Stupid fool!

Some people are so delusional. Don't they have mirrors in their house? It's like the people that attend class reunions and are amazed at how old everybody else looks. It just doesn't occur to them that others are saying the same thing about them. They are just absolutely delusional about their looks!

The next guy I meet is, of course according to him, young for his age, athletic, in his 50s, 6'+, athletic, yada yada yada. Again, over weight, old, short, couch potato. But this one is sick, he has had several heart attacks & is looking for a nurse, but he calls it a "long term" relationship. Yeah, like I want to spend the rest of my life taking care of a sick, bedridden old fart. A frozen face because of a stroke is not what I want to see when I wake in the morning.

It doesn't stop there, I got the sickos that send sexually explicit messages & the sickos that send penis shots, the married men who's wife doesn't understand them, one guy was in prison for murder & the endless youngins looking for a cougar, the rejects just went on & on & on. Ridiculous, dysfunctional, liars!

What is it about on-line dating? Why do some people think they can put whatever they fancy in their profile? Are they really that delusional or are they just plain ass liars? I think they are just plain ass liars!
