Dating website update

For five and a half months, I have winked at men, sent emails, and changed my profile a dozen or more times. When I do get a response to my inquiries, it has been "Thanks, but no thanks." Usually I get no response at all.

And yet, I still hold out hope of finding that special someone.

The six months that I paid for is almost up. The site offers a six month guarantee that says if you do not find a match in six months, you get the next six months free. When I first signed up on this site, it was strictly for research purposes. When I went ahead and paid for the six month stint, I decided "what the hell." I'll give it a shot and see how good they really are at finding that certain someone for someone like me. So far, they arent' very good at all.

Not that they haven't tried. Unfortunately, they keep setting me up for failure. They keep sending me men that are looking for THE perfect woman. You know, slender, toned, about average body type. Blonde. Pretty. Young. There aren't many men out there looking for old, fat women.

But I might have a better shot if they sent me men that would be willing to go out with bigger women. You know, the bigger than average man. Oh, don't get me wrong... I can go to the search area and find men like that. The problem seems to be that that guy doesn't seem to be seriously looking on that site. Perhaps he just decided to give it a try but hasn't paid for his membership. That means he isn't getting my emails. And believe me, I'm sending them out.

Last night I went into the search perameters and saw a guy that looked interesting. So I perused his profile. He didn't have much to say, but in the area off to the side that shows what he is looking for and compares it to what I'm looking for, it showed that we matched in 21 out of 22 ways. That's the most matches I have ever seen. Hell, I match myself only 20 out of 22 ways. So I emailed him. I'm hopeful that he'll respond. So far, I haven't heard from him.

In the meantime, I have less than 2 weeks left in the six month subscription that I paid for. I'm anxiously waiting to see how the free six months will work. And more importantly, I hope they honor their agreement.
