Searching For Mr Right
"Can you wow a man?", he wrote. What did that mean? Sex, a hot body, chemistry, clearly if I didn't know the answer, then I probably couldn't. This was not the man for me. Online dating sites are crazy, or maybe I'm crazy for giving it a try. But where am I supposed to meet men? I don't go to bars, I work with mostly women and the only men I come into contact with on a daily basis are married with sick wives. The odds are not in my favor.
I've tried Match.Com, e harmony, Craigslist and now POF, also known as Plenty of Fish. It's seemed easy, put your profile out there and then peruse your matches, kind of like on line shopping. It was amazing at first, all those male specimens just waiting for me to pick them. However, a closer study of all the available men verified what I already knew, all the good ones were taken or unavailable. If I liked big men who drink beer and ride a Harley, pose with a fish in their hand and a NY Yankee cap on their head, dirty old men, inmates, sexual deviants, or men who wear too much hair gel, jewelry and shirts unbuttoned to their sternum and short shorts, I would be in heaven. But I don't find any of those things appealing. And if I read one more profile of a man who wants a woman who is equally sexy in both jeans and a little black dress, plus be nice and polite to their mother but a wild, sex kitten in bed, I might puke.
But try I have, writing many messages first to men with similar interests, then to the handsome ones, followed by the sappy romantic wordsmiths, and finally even the unattractive ones. NO ONE ever responds. It's humbling to put yourself out there in a sincere, honest way and get nothing in return. What is wrong with them? The answer may lie in some of their Usernames; awilli, mrwillies, and onelongwillie, (do you see the trend here?). It's just inexplicable....really....I can't make this stuff up. The pictures are no help either. They all seem to pose with their car, their dog, alcohol, a dead animal or it's completely blurry and I have no idea what I'm looking at and I'm not sure I even want to.
I took my profile down today. Plenty Of Freaks, I mean Fish, isn't for me. If and when I fall in love again, it won't be online, that much I know. The man I want is good, kind, honest and sincere. He believes in making his community better by giving back. He is patient, smart and funny and maybe, just maybe, if I am very lucky, he is looking for me too. If not, well, I have a cat and even though he hogs the bed and snores, he allows me my independence and I don't have to do his laundry. After all I'm single, not desperate.
