Internet Dating
Internet dating has been such an interesting quest. I subscribe to only one dating site and find it quite entertaining. There are chatrooms, message boards, daily matches, event boards, and pretty much anything a gal (or guy) could want to go on the prowl.
My problem? I live in a remote area. In the last three years, I’ve dated about 15 men, 13 of which have been found through this dating site. Of those 13 men, 2 were who they said they were. TWO! Now granted I’m not much of a dating-ho, but still! You’d think that statistically I’d have been able to find a higher quantity of relatively sane and balanced men!
I have, in talking to male friends of mine, found that the women they are finding are not much different. My theory is that the Internet is such an anonymous best that people can simply hide behind the screen and pretend to be who they want to be. Of course not all people on dating sites are like that. I mean, look at me! However the propensity sure seems to be there. Either that or I have a Loser Magnet attached to my forehead!!
I have decided that from here out, my friends and family are going to have to set me up with men they know in their everyday lives. He must be relatively easy on the eyes, relatively good shape, employed, love children, and be a dynamo in bed. Is that too much to ask?

Well, I guess a girl has to have her standards!
