About Me

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

    Single, I like fishing, hunting, barbeque and just hanging out with friends and family, also like going out to eat and going to the movies. My goal in life, is to always try to better my self and make life more simple and comfortable. The kind of music I like to listen to is country and classic rock. I would like to meet someone that is down to earth, you know, normal and real. I am kinda a traditional person, a little old fashion when it comes to family values. Go out to eat, or go have a drink, I am open for any ideas

    I'm a pretty easy going person that has yet to find the right person. I enjoy not only watching sports but also playing them. Tivo has become my best friend, many more answers to any questions you might have. Talk to you soon.Who wants to join me in getting off this site? A first date should be a no pressure meeting, a place where we can talk and get to know each other.....
