[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it's tough out there.  I'm 42 and don't do the online dating thing because I don't have time to weed through the crap to find the good ones.  (job+kid+house+social life= busy.)  Consequently, I haven't had a date in over a year.  And my friends seem to think I'd be a pretty good catch.

12:11 is right.

[b]Guys our age often skew younger in their dating habits, so a 42-year-old guy might not consider a woman his age, but might look 10 years (or 20 years) younger.  (I do know a bunch of women who've met great younger guys, so it can go both ways.)  So if you're a 40-year-old woman and you don't have common interests with 50-year-old guys, you may be out of luck.

The women in DC are more accomplished than the guys, and it can be hard to "date down" if you're a woman who wants an equal partner.  I have a grad degree and a decent income, and will date someone who has just a bachelors and a decent job, but would I date a guy without a degree and a low-paying job?  Probably not.

Plus you've got some guys who are 5's themselves but who think that they can attract 10's, so they ignore the 7's and 8's around them.  I see this sometimes in my guy friends, and there's only a few "10's" out there.  (and if the 10's are still single in their mid-30's, despite all the opportunities to date, it is sometimes because they are high maintenance or crazy.)

Many guys don't get better looking with age, though.  A lot of them get bald, get fat, get outdated in their clothing.  But some of them have enough money now for women to overlook the looks.[/b]

Chances are, though, the women who are online dating are also out at the bars and meeting people normal ways.  But online dating takes away the "right place, right time" luck component - if the right guy for you lives in a different neighborhood, has different friends, a different industry and a different local hangout, you may never meet him unless you go online.[/quote]

Hey OP, I think I just found out why there are so many lonely women on the internet! They are spending time measuring up/down instead of accepting people for who they are and what character the bring to the table.

They will forever be single and die lonely.[/quote]
