Your compliments are my payment and if I was paid then it would be called work, it would cease to be fun and probably cease to be funny. Turning your passion or hobby into a living rarely works out and in the end you just have one less hobby, the mere fact that gynecologists, male porn stars and professional golfers take time off for vacations or being sick is evidence of this theory.

Quite interesting TG. Not currently divorced but do to badgering been doing “research” on match.com just wondering what’s out there, since I don’t really get out. A couple of thoughts:

1) it is utterly unbelieveable the quality of the 37+ woman in this area. I search some other areas I lived before SD (just on the site) and it’s amazing what’s out there in SD.
2) you can almost spot warning signs for trouble through the message. I mean trouble in the sense that you are talking about.
3) With the sheer numbers out there it makes sense to do serious vetting before one dives in. I totally agree with your assessment about need hubby vs. wants hubby. The fact is if your potential lady spouse has not had kids and doesn’t seem to want any, it’s probably an ok thing, but the selection in that category is difficult
4) The 38-45 set who have children that are either out of or almost out of HS are interesting. It’s as if there true focus was the child, they were fine with that, but it’s time to get back into the “swing of things”. That group might not be bad as long as the kids aren’t delinquents
5) I am shocked by the 38+ search that has no kids and wants kids. Now when you see 25 photos and each one is totally hot, the body is fit and hard, I think why the hell is this person waiting this long to have kids? Could be some strange stories in that group. To me this group is tempting as I almost wouldn’t mind going through it once more (ehh not really). In a perfect world she is some self employed or professional who is anxious to get back to it after the child is born. However raising a child and maintaining career is hard enough I can’t imagine it’s much easier at 40+ (especially on the mom I mean). So many who want a baby also want to exit the rat race.

So in the end I’ll probably keep mine despite the many shortcomings and general meanness and bitterness and get her some supplements, such as meds or a young lover. I’ve never internet dated, I was just curious about the market in general.

The crazy thing is the web is a small subset imagine how many won’t post a profile.

I am sick of these rich wannabes whining about how they are not able to “make it” on their six figure incomes or how they are struggling while living in million dollar McMansions. I think they need a lesson on poverty in America and what many in this country don’t have. The arrogance is just amazing!

techy, your decision to stay with your spouse is a wise one. I will refrain from going into deep analysis of internet dating or dating after 40, while an entertaining topic, not one for the primarily married demographic here, perhaps that will be the topic of my first book. Time/cnn reports that a 50 y/o woman has an 8% chance of remarrying in her lifetime and since they buy the vast majority of the books, I think a tell all book by a dashing and entertaining single, middle aged author is a good business model. I’ll give it some thought. But writing for money is still beneath me, hopefully not for too long.

to answer your questions/respond to your observations”

1) they are all crazy
2) most of them are crazy
3) all crazy
4) this is the most likely place to find a good one, but far from a guarantee, 50% crazy.
5) super crazy and delusional

The only normal ones I’ve met, including the current g/f who is the most normal I’ve met, were chance encounters in person.

While online profiles may look promising, it’s mostly bad data, so any analysis is flawed. However I do know of a few people who have met their mate online, there are exceptions to every rule, then again someone wins the lottery every week or so.

The funniest observation I have is if you look at what they are all looking for, it is the same guy, regardless of their height, they want a guy six feet tall, who loves kids, walking on the beach (who does that?), never cheats, doesn’t smoke, never watches sports or porn, barely drinks, makes lots of money, has no friends to compete with her, is educated, has all his hair and works out daily. I hate to break it to them but they are all fighting over the same guy and he’s gay.
