ibjames, ok so spout off, lets talk about those ways to meet people? I’m listening, not talking.
8bitNintendo, love the handle. Yes I’m looking for something that leads to something serious, it doesn’t start that way. I’m not really interested in kids and marriage to me is a distraction from real commitment, but essentially that is what I’d like. As to the house shopping comment, that was for people who’ve seen me post on this site for years, kind of an inside joke. I’ve been told many times I’d never buy a home.
As to the, “you have to date a lot of women to find the one,” meme. I’d offer a subtler version. You have to meet a lot of women to find the ones you’d like to at least give a shot to. I don’t think you have to go on that many dates. Unless, as I was accused of earlier, my checklist is very narrow.
Agreed that there are lots of ways to meet people the dating sites I’m on haven’t exactly been a gold mine. In my own mind its because superficially I’m looking for the same thing as most guys. Juxtapose that with the things that I have to offer aren’t necessarily things that can be displayed or that I wish to display. I still feel the best thing to do is to meet people through people who have at least some idea of who I am.
I’ve been on this site a long time, I don’t post that often anymore, but there are plenty of people here who’ve not just jousted with me intellectually but actually met me. Those people may be in a place to make an introduction, why not ask?

I get you, I just feel like much of your target demographic (female, ~30, single, financially secure, head screwed on, don’t have baby rabies, interesting to talk to [let me know if I inserted criteria that weren’t yours]) are too busy to be looking for their one and only. But I might be projecting – with work and school and hobbies and and, my head would probably explode if I were also hunting for Mr. Forever Right.December 17, 2009 at 12:54 AM #4950408bitnintendoParticipant[quote=barnaby33]8bitNintendo, love the handle.

I have suspected that Davelj and BrianSD are the same person.[/quote]I wasn’t sure if this was serious or not… but in case it was, we are not the same person. Rich can confirm.
