While we're on the subject of dating profiles. I saw this earlier. What a lovely man he is?!
nothing new happening, not dating or anything and I think im at peace 
the funny thing is the longer you go without sex I think the less you need it- does anyone else feel in the same boat? I feel like it would have to be someone really special to change that, and. Honestly haven’t got the energy to go online and wade through the profiles…I think it I was younger then I defo would, but it all seems a bit self harmful if I’ve come to a point where I feel ok after the last one? Anyone else here feeling this? I’ve got this one friend that’s a lot younger than me who’s desperate for her bf to propose to her just because she wants (in her words) “the status of being married” and she’s always saying to me “its so odd you’ve never been married” as if settling for just anyone is better than being single by choice 
The status of being married?? Oh what in the 1950s housewife is going on there?! It makes me so sad to hear of women in this day and age with that mindsetHi all! Hope everyone is keeping well? I saw the new thread
There is absolutely nothing odd about prioritising your own happiness and wellbeing over the "status of being married" It's so good to hear how content you are! I've also given up on the apps, just no good for my self esteem and I've realised I'm never going to meet any of them in real life as there's been no spark for a while.Hi all!

Same. I have no desire to do online dating. Putting myself in the frame of mind that I need to actively look, search, and preen myself for the benefit of a male gaze, is telling my subconscious that finding someone to love me is work. It’s hard work. I don’t want that in my subconscious at all. I’m not hard to love. I thought that for years and years, and just ended up with men who kept harming me. It will happen, if it happens. If not, I will have my fulfilling life that I’ve created for myself, with my daughter, friends and my dogs. I’ll also be moisturised, a stable weight, ph balanced, with a nervous system in equilibrium. That’s enough. What’s not to like about that?Hi all! Hope everyone is keeping well? I saw the new thread
Ugh. There's not a day goes by that I don't wish we had an eyeroll reaction on hereAs if I got sassed by someone who had been on the apps for a grand total of TWO DAYS
*obvs the typo I made should say apps not ape
Love how he contradicted himself anyway- tells me that dating should lead to a relationship all while not knowing what he wants
he sounds a right prick. Ape might be an appropriate type there Rayne!They have ALL only been on there two days. It’s a bit like what they say in prison. “We are all innocent in here” not that I’ve been to prison before, but you know what I mean!As if I got sassed by someone who had been on the apps for a grand total of TWO DAYS

They will say they want a relationship, even when they don’t. So you can’t even trust what they say.
They literally don’t even bother saying they want a relationship now (maybe one out of ten, to me anyway). They don’t even put any effort in to lying about it, that’s how socially acceptable it if for them to “not know what they’re looking for” aged 40 and still get women to
I’ve not been on dating sites for over 6 years. But it sounds like it’s got WILD out there. I mean, it was bad before. But now it seems like you say, they couldn’t care less. And don’t bother. I remember seeing profiles of men in their mid to late fifties with “wants kids” They can get creative.They literally don’t even bother saying they want a relationship now (maybe one out of ten, to me anyway).

I think the toxic intense type of connections really mess with our brain chemistry and this is what messes us up!! 
…I have my dog too and she’s literally my partner we are so aligned in emotion!
I don’t think you’re aware of it but you just summed it all up in the last sentence,
I can die happy! XxThe last relationship is always “a few months ago” and “we wanted different things” lolThey have ALL only been on there two days. It’s a bit like what they say in prison. “We are all innocent in here” not that I’ve been to prison before, but you know what I mean!
Right! Translation: She is sitting next to me on the sofa while I message you.
