...I Kind of Met Someone But..Haven't Met them.

Online Dating...either it's going to kill me or...drive me crazy!

..it's better, FAR better than Facebook...which I WILL say something about that later. But online dating is simple, fun and sometimes makes you wanna pull what's left of your hair out. Let me explain.

From the comfort of your home, your bathroom, tub or even toilet..you can meet male or females from all over the world. It doesn't get any simpler than that, right. 'Simple'..ah, such an easy carefree word...which gets more abused than your grandfather's 1962 Penthouse magazine, (don't ask).  Www...ya at the website. Sign up, enter some info..what you're looking for, and nowadays if ya a male, you can find you another male..nothing wrong with that, but lets stick with finding us a female. Some sites have you enter a zip code..10, 20 miles radius of your zip code...ENTER.  ....a Candy Store, look at ALL the sweets. Ah, but some of them might not be that good for you...and some of them are just for show. Yep...SHOW.

We as human want to love and want to be love. Where the issue(s) come in at...and I mentioned this all before, it's what we as humans call love. Remember in Junior High School how simple it was then...to get  girl or boy friend. You just walked right up and talked to that person and you knew, sort of, what direction if any you were heading in. NOT online you do!! Profiles..it's what you write to 'attract' the person that you 'want' to meet. Some profiles, straight off the back, women, they say this... 'If you're looking for a Booty Call, pass my profile right on by', or...'I'm looking for my king, because I am a Queen'...yada, yada, yada. I stay FAR away from those profiles. Mostly all profiles are basically saying the same thing.. 'I'm a down to earth woman', which translates into...'I WANT THINGS MY WAY, PAMPER ME, BUY ME THINGS, PAY MY BILLS!'. Sorry, that's how I see it as. But these dating sites are a marvel unto themselves. They tell you how and where the world is heading in the future. They also say a lot, profiles, say a lot about our past too.

Take for example. 40 something woman, looking for her 'Prince' to come along and... 'Save her'. Take her away to black sanded beaches, drinking umbrella drinks and watching the sun set with the sound of waves roaring in the background, Then the sound of the waves, the surf is interrupted by 2 kinds fighting over who gets to use the sand shovel..'mommie, so and so hit me.' Her screaming at the kids to behave or she is going to 'give' them something to really cry about. Or....

The 50 something woman..these are the best. Don't get your panties in a bunch, read on. These are a work of wonder. It's 'their', 'our' time now. Kids are grown with their own kids and have moved out of the home. You would think it couldn't get or be any better..but wait. Those kids WITH Grandkids..who mind you, SAY they want to see their Grandmother... Or, it's the weekend and mom isn't doing anything special, hell, mom don't date and I want to hang out this weekend...let's see if Mom will babysit..which she ALWAYS do...and this is where 'Family means everything'...which is written in their profiles also, which I stay away from those types too. Women of this nature, the 'mothering type', still don't have time for wanting to start something in their later years of their life because the kids have kids and they have to be babysitter. Or...

...the late 30 something woman. Takes Selfies of her butt sinking on the bathroom sink showing and defining what a GREAT ass she has. True THAT. Pretty face, nice shape...a Keeper? Nope...because off camera...she has 2 kinds and 'screaming' that she is single without any kids...only to find out that she DOES have kids, which she claims they are her niece and nephew that she is taking care of because her sister is in jail or something. She too, like almost most of the women have over ONE THOUSAND friends on their profile page...which brings me to...

Women on online dating sites have it MADE. They know they look great, oh yes they do. And every male who is breathing and looking for that Special Woman will surely click that 'add' me button, hence the 1K male friends... But does she have time for them, NOPE. It's all a self gratifying moment for them, shot of sugar straight in the vein... A look at me I am STILL beautiful and men want me moment... A..if I'm having a bad day, I can always go online and look at my inbox at ALL THE MEN WHO STILL WANT ME..which makes me feel like I am STILL WANTED by mankind. Ah, but will they ever meet you, the man, a meeting..in public? Which brings me to...

NO THEY WON'T!! ... and listen, I am not a 'disgruntled employee', so to speak. No I don't expect that every woman I 'meet' online to meet me in person... But for crying out loud..why bother to set up a profile when you KNOW us men do, want and expect to meet you in person at one time or another. Then, they post 'screenshots' of your conversation with them...which personally is of BAD TASTE on HER part. But it's posted not because of what that male may have said in a PRIVATE conversation with her, it's posted for OTHER woman to see. It lets these woman know that her..she is had still does have it going on...see. they. men still want me.

(clears throat) So, why do I and countless other men STILL part take in this online dating thing? Because we can is why. ..and who knows...where it may lead.
