Seriously (and a bit more on topic than my last comment), Long ago, I gave up finding a really good match here or, pretty much, anywhere online. It is far too easy for people to maintain a distance ... ... from another person ... ... from really letting other people know what kind of person they are ... ... from truth and (in some cases) any semblance of reality at all. I need to hear a person's voice (initially, to allow a bit of anonymity until they feel comfortable). I need to look into their eyes in an effort to feel confident that they're not just puking words onto a screen that they think I want to read. The difference is: I don't bemoan it, publicly and I don't start threads about it. I have just accepted that most people, given enough anonymity, will sink to the lowest common denominator and reside there, comfortably. Screen captures still RULE! Ya feel me? Just do what I do, come into this thing expecting nothing. That way you are never disappointed, and even pleasantly surprised when things actually go somewhat well, heh. As one old guy to another, I know exactly where you are coming from. We men have a practical, minimalist view of internet dating... See what you want, go after it. If it works, great, if it doesn't fine, move on. Ah, the old days... Sorry, was reminiscing. These young turks with their Iphones and their twitter accounts, they fucked everything up . What was once a simple yea or nay, has turned into a miasma of are you real or fake, are you trying to get me into a dark warehouse to skin me alive, or are you just some creepy old man (my favorite). Gone are the days when you could just send someone an email and start talking. But hey, us guys still do it so there
