Still lonely in Malaga. :={

Rant of a tired and lonely lion. :=/



This lion is ready to start tearing his mane out by the roots.

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I find a mate?

I try to meet women who seem interesting, but no luck. :={

Some of the most promising women, on match.com, are either to far away, want someone with more education or money, or don't like cats. There are also some that seem interesting, but their last activity has been more than 3 days.

Call me old fashioned, but if someone has not been active for that long, then probably they have met someone else and I don't want to intrude.

Also, not one woman has e-mailed me first. So much for the women taking the initative. :=/

I've tried to make my "profile", located here http://www.match.com/usearch/showprofile.asp?SID=3C935D9D-1025-47D2-8C1B-75A7543E948D&TrackingID=0&Theme=10&UserID=4247494D464F504E , as interesting as possible. BTW, if the link doesn't work let me know and I'll put some sort of patch in.

I have e-mailed some possible matches, but for the most part, not even a reply that I even sent the e-mail. :=/

Is there some sort of "Don't respond to LKCMSL" e-mail going around? Do I offend women that easily? Do I have a negative personality that comes through my e-mails? Am I that unlikable? Am I that "ugly"?

I'm not a "bar hopper", and I don't believe that is the best way to meet women. I have also tried the personal ads, again with no luck.

Any input would be helpful.

While I have told many people that there are some people destined to live their life without a mate, and I believe I may be one, that does not mean I have to like it. :=/

Dammit, I'm lonely and would like to spend my last remaining years with a woman that would like doing the things I like to do, while I could share in the things she likes.

It was depressing on New Year's to see couple kissing while I sat lonely and bored at the sound console. Same thing on Valentine's Day. :={

End of rant.

LK all I can say is don't give up hope. I had been single and lonely for over 20 years before I met Karol and I wasn't expecting to find her at all...I had given up on ever having someone. Wierd things happen when you least expect them...never give up hope.

*sniff* I know what you mean, man. Though I don't understand exactly what you are going through because of the age difference (meaning this not in a teasing way, please keep in mind), I can relate what it feels like to be in a position where you are expected to date. College life can be very cruel when people start to ask questions why you aren't dating yet.

I know it sounds cliched, but hang in there. Your lady may be around the next corner. Maybe she will have a daughter that could be mine ;)

Stop looking! You'll seem more attractive if you're aloof!

Nah, that doesn't work. I already tried that. :)

Don't give up. I'd resigned myself to a lonely existance, and then ending up finding a wayward snow leopard on Yiffnet. We'd both been terribly lonely before we met. I think that it was meant to be that way, since we both appreciate each other that much more.

Love always finds you when you least expect it. ;)
