Re: Re: Re: "I seek like minded individuals"
True, opportunity and circumstances prevented me from going out to meet people. There was no where a single woman could go comfortably on her own. Since I am not into a bar scene, even what was available was distasteful to me.
As a single parent, my time was occupied elsewhere as well. So, dating sites seemed the best way for me to meet people in real life. We could get rid of the "getting to know while getting totally drunk" phase of the bar scene and actually identify common interests.
I did join a civic group, volunteered my time to build a playground and attended community events. I did these things in part to meet people in the community. It didn't work as I was part of a very closed community.
So, I got on line and joined some singles sites.
However, what works for me may not work for everyone. That is just how it goes.

Etoile said:Not everybody can do that. Some people are only looking for online relationships, for various reasons. Or maybe they don't like the bars or the dating scene. In fact, it's pretty hard to guarantee you'll find kinky people when you're just at a regular meat market, and not everybody lives in a city big enough to have munches.
