I’ve seen much the same on line and have heard same from male friends. Guys with no jobs, in horrid shape call me a snob because I refuse to date them. Both men and women have to understand they HAVE to actually have something to bring to the table when dating. Meeting quality guys IRL is impossible here 9 months of the year so I have given up on the standard sites and stick to enviro/fitness/intellectually oriented sites.

Well, I have a fabulous profile and it attracts a lot of hits. However, I have found that over 90% of the men, and probably women too, on dating sites are simply undesirable and problematic. They don’t have steady jobs or they have addictions, and most don’t even come close to being decent looking. Men don’t shave or get their hair cut and they take gross photos of themselves in locker rooms, bathrooms, sweaty workout rooms and bedrooms. It’s disgusting for the most part. POF is one of the absolute worst dating sites that I have ever seen. And, I’ve seen TOO many!
I do agree with you insomuch that most relationships work out better if the couple is fairly close in age. I don’t see men that I would be interested in wanting to date younger women. In fact, most men that I find a little bit attractive are usually interested in a woman a few years older. Unfortunately, this is for unbecoming reasons of being lazy, not having health insurance, much less a job or savings. These men are out to be taken care of. They can be witty, charming, devilishly handsome, and even extremely intelligent. They are manipulators and they are interested in only two things: money and sex. Which at this age, sex for them only means a bj. So disappointing! They’ve made nothing of themselves or their work life. They have no family, friends and have burned their bridges by being smooooozers. This has been my experience for the last 15 years. I’ve sworn off dating sites and I actually just go out and meet men in real life doing real-life things.
