wow ,,,,was that a rant that your not getting none diesal79????? cause it certainly came across that way to me ,,which is surprising as having read your previous posts you sounded like you had your shit together and understood that despite the fact that you may match a person/couples profile requests 110% that is by no means a guarantee that they will be interested in you ,,regardless of your looks or apparent intelligence ,,,,
as for having no reply's to your messages ,,which I would assume from your posts are quite well written and polite ,,well yours are probably lost amongst the billions of rubbish messages that single ladies and hot couples receive on a daily basis, you sound like you have the fallen into the classic trap of expectation ,,,,you seem to expect a reply or reward simply because you have gone to some effort ,,,,sorry fella it just don't work that way, though it would be nice if it did.
I will agree that with both you and baa in surprise and shock that gcg ( whom I have chatted with many times) has had no luck in her search and but I would say to gcg to keep looking, it will happen sooner or later hun ,,and as you know ,,if I were in qld still you would of had a certain buddy in me should you of desired ..
diesel ,,,nothing is certain or guaranteed but with continued effort such as you have displayed, you will also meet folk just I have and do ,,,along with many others who may or may not reply to your posts
keep searching dude ,,,,,it is so worth it when the hunt comes to a fruitful conclusion .
Hey Lonelydad - Thanks for your response to my post, and sadly i think you have me a little mistaken, or mis-interpreted. I am by no means ranting on my own bat of my fruits - i am not complaining due to lack of interest, but pointing out the fact, that talk appears greater than fact. I am surprised that GC failed to receive adequate response, or any response at all, but my comments were pointed as a general word to all. I do not by any means expect anything from anyone, and i believe for me, that i am a giver rather than receiver in all walks of life, personally, professionally and the like. I am stating facts on the basis that (and correctly so in most cases), we are quick to blame the guys for their tardy and "interesting" remarks and comments they post, but too want to draw attention to the fact that many write profiles, but wonder if those profile are just words, to tease and tantalise, with no intent of anything more. I am not concerned as to if i do or don't meet anyone on this site to fulfil my profile or fantasy, but the key message i was delivering was focused around the fact that i do not just randomly message people, if i choose, selectively to send a message to anyone, i make certain that in depth i have read their profile, from top to bottom to ensure that i am in the category in which they search. From this, i expect nothing more than common decency, and having enough respect for others, this stems solely from the respect i have for me.
I believe in offering those the same as we expect in return, and to expect common courtesy, is nothing less than the basics of human decency. As such, if you want to meet good people, then offer benefit of doubt, by delivering to those, the same as you expect in return.
I completely accept that while i may "meet the guidelines of ones written profile", i may have not stirred ay interest, and that it 100% acceptable.
Lonelydad - i have met you at a Meet ad Greet, and you are a respectable, decent, and genuine guy. I have seen you in the chat rooms, and your comments are always respectful, considerate, and what anyone would expect as being decent. You on that basis can understand, or should understand that - respect goes a long way, courtesy does to.
Fair to say i was not ranting about my own mis fortune, and clearly set myself up for failure here - that is ok. What i do know is that over 1500 people have read my initial forum post (regardless of response), and if that helps anyone else to better the way they communicate, and look to gain the respect of others, before expecting anything in return - then i have contributed. Contributed to the better of others, but more importantly, the betterment of me. I stand true to my original post, and wish GC happiness, luck and good fortune in finding what she searches for and well deserves. Well done GC for putting it out there.
Enjoy everyone, stay happy....
