This is what is out there…

You can read my match.com profile on my ABOUT page.

Today I got the following email from a potential “match:”

Harrowing and Pulverizing? — how about –the last time I tried this 2 yrs ago – I almost threw up in my mouth. Sorry – a little to explicit – but judging by your prose – you get it. Anyhow – check out my profile – I think our wit is a nice match — at the very least – and if you are looking for a similar partner in crime – give me a shout – Joe

HE THREW UP IN HIS MOUTH! These men really know how to woo the ladies!

    I know some people have had luck using eHarmony and other sites of that ilk, but isn’t that approach to finding a mate just
    a bit too passive?

    If you have 30-40 hours of “leisure” (whatever that means) time on your hands every week, how is that time invested? If finding
    a mate was VERY important to you, I think you’d be volunteering, taking up hobbies, joining church groups, becoming a member of professional organizations, etc. etc. You’d be meeting people and getting to know them first in a less stressful environment before accepting dates from them.

    When a fisherman goes fishing, he doesn’t wait for fish to come to him. He gets in his boat and searches for fish.

    Of course, that’s just my opinion. I could be (and probably am) wrong.

    I’m guessing this guy works up to the point of french kissing with a given woman once max and that’s it.

    B. Davis– you sound like my parents! And you are right, if I really really really wanted someone I would be out there searching high and low. As it is, I am going about the whole situation rather 1/2 assed, but it’s what I am doing. At least I am doing something, right?

    I plead guilty as charged. Because of my advanced chronological age I’m now better at giving advice than
    taking it.

    Time management!!! That’s the key, and prioritizing.
    But your energy level gets sapped because of your job and the
    long commute. I understand.

    You are correct…if finding a mate really was a priority,
    you would be WORKING at it.

    I tried the dating service thing, and I got frustrated. The expectation levels of the participants is too high. Ever try
    meetup.com? You could meet likeminded people there…hell, it might work.
