Everyone on a dating site should read this! "Life offers a surplus of things to do and several ways to meet potential dating partners. A city’s culture of abundance with respect to dating, is further perpetuated by online dating sites that make it easy to meet people that one otherwise may not have met. Ironically, while the option to meet new people increases, it becomes more and more difficult to build a serious relationship.Access to endless people through online platforms makes it difficult to decide who to date. The task of choosing is “debilitating” and once a choice is made, one wonders if it was, in fact the right one. Committing to a person becomes a herculean task, where no matter who one chooses, one will always see someone better. This opportunity cost is not just limited to a potential date – people are stereotypically busy, and have to choose between working, exercise, socializing with friends or, meeting a stranger to see if there is a 'connection'.Similarly, online dating sites create a sense of removal and apathy during the initial stages of the relationship due to the impersonal nature of exchanging inbox messages. Dating requires time and effort, and falling for someone requires repeated human interaction in several forms – making eye contact, laughing together and revealing something about oneself. The more investment one puts in a relationship, the more of a return one can expect to get out of it. A sense of removal means that personal interactions are fewer. Therefore, one has less of an investment in the relationship, and gains less of a return.“How can you get dumped when you were never really involved?”Interesting,isn't it?I saw it on another profile and copy/pasted(I asked her first!),because it explains why people keep coming back on these sites,or never leave them in the first place! Hopefully the awareness of the problem will help us avoid it....But about me :)I'm pretty smart,pretty quiet,kind of sarcastic although not to hurt anyone,see the humor in most situations,don't have a big ego but I'm confident in myself.Never married,have kids that I see regularly,my relationships generally last a long time-not a serial dater at all!I'm busy with work,exercise,renos,family,etc,but want to make time for someone important to me.Like the headline says...Don't be shy to message;it's not a commitment,and I've found that looking at a profile tells you little about how attracted you're going to be to that person in real life! We'll figure it out

So who am I? I am me, just me and I'm comfortable with that. I hope you can be too. I am a simple kind of guy who likes being out doors, cooking good food (no junk), matched with a fine vintage and great company, bonfires in the back yard, taking in a show, camping by a hidden stream, a long walk through the park or just sitting around sharing a coffee. Other times I can be found letting my creative side run wild in my workshop. I work hard to stay in good shape – and I expect that you do too. Lately, I’ve been learning golf and would love a partner to share the pain.There is a little bit of a wild side to me too. I have lived in a handful of countries and traveled to a bunch more; climbed the high mountains, skied the powdered slopes, carried my pack through the lush valleys and rafted the wild rivers. I don't think I’ve ever met a beach I didn't like but if I do, there's always scuba or sailing. I’ve been fascinated by great cities, museums, old castles, classic churches and also some real “backwaters” all over the world. It is the candy that adds spice to life.My ideal companion would be classy, confident and comfortable with herself; sharp, witty and honest, with a positive attitude and a quick smile, a woman who is relaxed and flexible, a lady with an imagination who shares the same vision and is willing to try new things. A few other things that I have learned along the way• I am a single dad to a couple of great kids. They may be older but please understand they will always come first.• It’s OK to go slow. I enjoyed being married but that does not mean I need to be back there right away. I am looking for a partnership, not a rescue mission. I can be kind of shy at first but open up once I’m comfortable. Let’s really get to know each other first.• Check your baggage at the dock. I understand that most of us have been severely wounded on the way here but yesterday is not an excuse for today. Let’s make the fishing fun and enjoy the new day.• I am a “can do” guy who is open to new things. Handy, creative and energetic, if the reward is worth the cost / risk, I will make it happen. It’s amazing what you can do if you believe.Also, I am no longer 47 but could not handle using a 5 in my age and now this site won't let me change it.If all this has not scared you off, then mail me – preferably with a little more than “Hi” to tell me why you think we might match. I will do my best to reply. Of course, I expect the same in return. (I hate *** I am not big on internet ping pong so let's get it over with quickly and meet - see who we really are.Drinks, coffee or a walk in the park and if it is working, maybe more. My shout.Or, if you have a fun idea, let's give it a shot. I like trying new things.
