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

Man. 48 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.
Looking for: woman. In age: 45-55
First off, I love to ride my Harley. I enjoy working with wood, crafts and things. I make a nice "decons bench". I drove dump truck last year, when I got laid off, and divorced, at the same time no less, my world fell apart. Moved here, to take care of my elderly parents. Looking for someone to ease the lonlieness. That's about it. Want to know anything else, just ask. On a first date, I like to go to dinner. Quiet conversation, then if we hit it off, we can decide if the date should continue together.

Man. 49 years old. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.
Looking for: woman. In age: 46-56
I like to weight train daily and enjoy anything to do with fitness. I like to ride bikes, golf, run, etc. I compete in natural bodybuilding shows. I enjoy the beach and all that the emerald coast has to offer. I also enjoy boating and riding my Harley. I am easy going and enjoy a wide variety of activities. I enjoy most music depending on the occasion. I don't like being in front of a camera so I had to search for pics, but they are current. I'd like to do something simple for a first date like coffee or a drink. We can see if we have a connection and go from there.
