I feel sorry for you men, women can be vicious and soooo fake!

Every time I'm honest on dating sites, I never seem to find matches...

Here would be my dating profile:

Hi, I'm **** and I'm quite different from a lot of girls. I don't like to party and get wasted every weekend, I'd much rather stay at home and play vidya games and watch sh***y movies.

I'm a childfree woman so if you want children, good luck finding a uterus somewhere else. (this is a serious deal breaker for me)

Don't worry, I'm not a feminist, I just don't want children. I won't scream "RAPE" if you hold the door open for me;)

Want to get married? don't worry about a diamond ring! or a wedding for that matter. I'm totally fine with just signing papers and having a kick ass honeymoon (money better well spent)!

All I ask for in a guy is that he's honest, loyal, has a sense of humor, has a spine, and doesn't have anger issues.

I also love giving gifts, whether they're store bought or hand made by me^^

Sounds fine to me. I don't understand the need for everything to be social and exciting and nonstop action all the time. Maybe it's my depression but I just want to chill and have someone to talk to and play games with.

What's wrong with that bio? If you get no bites, it just means that the men on those sites are just as fake and wanting fake women who say the right things and LOOK the right way. Screw the down-to-earth ones. In reality, men are no different.

Yeah, the ones who say "i'm so down to earth and accepting blah blah blah" they really aren't:/

Nope. I've been on them before and I got off and never returned. It's a shallow meat market, imo. I think it's a place for people to go who want a quickie relationship long enough to get a romp in the hay.

You would think that with apps like tinder, most people would stay off dating sites for people who want real relationships.

Too bad there isn't a genuine dating site, for genuine people-_-

Like in a weird way that almost sounds fake (definitely not saying it is) because it is like a list of things many guys say they want and you don't talk about your interests or personality.

I still can't believe I wasted my time trying to get a second date with these types. Of course, two of them told me they had a great time, smiled and told me to call them for date #2, only to ignore me. Guess they hated the fact that I dared to drive a car and eat at the McDonalds in the mall. Whatever. Only in hindsight do I realize the reason I wandered into 'taboo' areas on the first date was because they had almost nothing to talk about other than their jobs and I had to dig deep just to keep a conversation going.

Definitely don't like talking shop. I wish I loved my job that much. Older (I'll say mature) women are the way to go! :mrgreen:

I hate McDonalds but It's also stupid to take a first date to a fancy diner either.

A simple Cafe is the way to go.

Why does it even need to have anything to do with food? Why not go somewhere, do something fun?

Because for a first date it does not matter, she will determine whether you will ever be able to arouse her or not in the first 30 seconds or little more (women call it 'chemistry' IMAO!).

No activity would change that, whether it is eating food, bowling, or space travel.

In that case there's no reason not to go to McDonalds.

That's probably better because it's less awkward. My ideal first date is an arcade

They may judge you as a cheapskate or unhealthy for the choosing McDonalds.
