You don't need a profile on that site to stalk people. Unless the user chooses to only have his/her profile shown to members. If you know the URL, you can stalk as much as you like and they will never know!
I'm in my 30s. That's the thing, I'm getting too old for this.

this has to be the creepiest thing i have read to date on this topic hahaha sorry no offense just the way it reads out
lol awww, you ruined all my hopes
I'm 28 and you know what they say... You're only as old as the person you're feeling
I'm guessing OKCupid from what you're saying as you can see if they are online or not even without an account?
Correct! I need to stop looking at his profile though because all it does is make me want to do horrible things to him. Nah really, I'm ok. It's been three weeks since this happened so slowly getting over it. Although it does hurt my ego a bit.
LOL your still young
...took me until i hit my late late thirties to find decent women.
Total player, 25 and slept with a number of people I can count on one hand.
I just enjoy reading into this sort of thing and my opinion on women has changed over the years.
This whole good guy never gets the girl is just an excuse for guys without the ability to attract women to lay the blame else where and lie to themselves claiming they're the exception! They don't just want sex, they want to get to know a girl, buy her things, treat her like a princess.
The mentality of women is completely different also, if you were a single guy and met a single good looking girl you'd be attracted to her correct? She on the other hand may not like several things about you that you didn't even realise you did, maybe you're a little unconfident, aren't direct enough, don't make your intentions known, are too small/tall. It's all just multiple emotional triggers that you must set off, from what I gather anyway.
LOL your still young
Were they are significantly younger than you? I imagine that at that age, most women are either married or divorced, and quite likely have children. It might be your cup of tea though, but I know that for lots of guys that's a no-go (kids, I mean).
I agree, it's not easy to meet someone decent, but the way you're going about it is going to make it almost impossible. If you don't feel those good vibes when speaking with someone, pull the ejector seat and move onto the next.
I'm adamant though that men have a harder time of it than women, based on my own experiences and those of my male and female friends.
Have you tried speed dating?
Confidence in the the right areas is probably my downfall actually, I'm not bad guy just these girls online want more than what they actually can get most of time lol bitter comment right there lol
Then they're not worth your time or effort, let them think that and go find someone who has a different mentality
This was my new approach. Admittedly, a silly and naive one. I generally don't just go out with random guys, much less have sex with them. I think I kind of just got tired of not having someone whilst all my friends are married. Maybe this is my midlife crisis.
Speed dating probably isn't for me. I'm quite shy at first and it would make me very uncomfortable. I also hate these forced situations where it's clear that everyone's looking for a partner (or sex, or whatever).

Just cant meet anyone good out and about, clubs are terrible places to chat up lasses, pubs non existent lol cafes just seem to happen in soaps haha
Well, life lesson learnt I guess
.Don't be too eager to dismiss speed dating. I'm quite a shy guy, I don't talk to women on nights out or anything like that and I went to a speed dater event with a mate of mine.
I was a bit nervous at the beginning but I had a good time and got to know a few nice people.
Regarding forced situations with everyone looking for a partner... that's what online dating is surely? albeit text-based to start.
Not really, i mean a few were a bit younger than me and a few did have kids, which i didnt have an issue with but ultimately i wanted kids myself and the women that i were with, not at the same time!!! didnt want to have anymore kids...shame really as they were decent good women.

Yes, it is. I really don't think it's for me, for various reasons. I just have no clue where else to find someone. Once you're done with school/uni it gets hard to meet new people. What did people do before we had the internet?
Ate their food rather than taking photos of it, true story.
In all honesty, I think dating sites are mostly a curse. I think quite a few people are addicted to it and rather spend their time messaging people and having a few dates than actually build something with someone. I've read about this, about the addiction and how easy it is to just browse profiles if something's not quite right. Whilst people apparently made more of an effort in the past, they now simply click on the next profile because the next partner (victim) is just a few clicks away.
It's a difficult one. I've tried online dating, met someone quite nice but we ended things mutually after just under a year. I work in a very male dominated sector, so no chance of meeting someone at work. Don't find women on nights out my cup of tea, and friends don't have any single friends.
Sometimes I've been doing something mind numbing like a weekly shop at tesco, see a nice woman and just fancy saying something, but I never have the balls to.
I'm doomed
