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

Hi there! I'm an easy-going, yet ambitious man doing what I can to make the world a better place. I enjoy a woman who is intelligent, thoughtful, and affectionate, as well as someone who is genuine. Yes, that's easier said than done, but it pays to be an optimist. If you have a lot to offer and want the best life has to offer, then drop me a line and let's see where it goes.I'm a no drama guy who likes fun and good times -- I really have no expectations of people other than what they are willing to give. I suppose that's a consequence of some rather unpleasant past experience with disingenuous people. I'm genuine and you should be too. I have a very busy job that takes up a lot of my time, but I always make time for the important people in my life. Right now, that includes my kids and my friends. I'm probably not the typical guy around here as I'm educated, I can hold a conversation on many topics, and I'm always looking to improve myself, but I know how to have a good time.; 20 people before and I do it well), and just plain ole' relaxing. I also enjoy going on walks, jogging/working out, reading, and stay in tune with the world and what's going on. *************What I desire in a woman: I want a woman in my life who is vibrant, fun, attractive, genuine, intelligent, friendly, affectionate, passionate, physically fit, and who still believes that the best in life is ahead. If you want all of that with a great guy, then write. Nothing but the best for us! A good dinner where we can talk and get to know one another -- at home or out on the town.
