It depresses me to read stuff like this. Believe it or not there are genuine, honest people out there, but on both sides of the gender divide there are also a lot of bellends and they tend to create a bad name for everyone else.
I tried a dating site once and gave up after a few months. On two occasions an agreement to meet was followed by ‘Oh, by the way, I should mention I’m a size 14, not 10 – the profile is a bit old’ and a third resulted in some other ‘I forgot to mention…’ codicil. These were only relevant in that they had been deliberately held back or misrepresented, and it was that fundamental dishonesty that persuaded me to give the whole thing up.
And I suspect that’s the point. All it takes is a couple of instances of BS and you jump to the (possibly wrong) conclusion that the bullmeisters represent the vast majority. Away from dating sites, at least, that probably isn’t the case, but it only takes one to cause disillusionment.
Keep looking – just try to look in the right places (and if you find the right place let me know, because it’s eluded me so far).
