    I dont seem to have any luck with men, im attractive, fun & have a lot to offer. So why is it that every man I meet treats me like crap but says they love me. I end up walking away & wondering is it me, why do i meet the same type over & over? How can I break the cycle & meet someone who will treat me with love & respect?? Where do you meet such an elusive creature. Im so depressed by it all.

    Hi! I felt like that for a while, although I had no luck with fellas at all regarding relationships. Had no problem scoring but that was only with drink and the likes. Met my current beau online and never been happier. There is a certain stigma attached to online dating and I'm not saying that the first guy I chatted to was the one for me, but I did get to talk to a few different people and really clicked with this one. 5 months on [7 months if you include the chatting online and texting!] and twas worth all the time being single! I'm 23 btw!

    There are jerks online too so if you decide to try this route, be prepared for some knock-backs and some losers but there are lovely guys out there. I met mine online - nearly 2 years on - we're very happy together.

    Of course there are jerks. But go with gut feelings - if you're not into it then don't go for it. I enjoyed the chatting online, and then texts and phone calls. Was only dying to meet him then! Apparently something like 68% met their partner over the internet - in some survey that was done!

    There are eejits of both sexes everywhere. Then there are those that are sound, but just not right for you or you for them. Then there are those who are right for you, but at the wrong time or they're otherwise engaged. Still leaves about a billion(or a helluva lot anyway) of either gender up for grabs.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    I like your way of getting to the crux of the matter mathematically!

    Yeah it is the same for us. I've signed for to the online sites, but to be honest - I dont know. Sent message to few no responses. I got odd email but didn't proceed with it as wouldn't be my type.
