I adored this book!!! I've been "trying" to meet someone via online dating (various sites) for some time, and the scene is better for its entertainment value than for actually meeting guys you'd want to hang out with! (Pls. note that I'm an older single, widowed, and the mature ones really don't change...still want you to think they're real studs, even when they can't perform at all. Instead they'll try to regale you with stories of their "glory days", which grosses me out. Like--I really want to hear "locker room talk" from some jerk in his 60's?)
Long term relationship (LTR)? Why sure...About 90% of the profiles indicate they want to meet that Special Someone to spend the rest of their lives with. Don't necessarily take it seriously. I'm beginning to think that some of these guys' definition of a long term relationship is a 3-day weekend.
Never mind the con-men and scammers...that's another book!
A kinda think the ones in my age group are looking to supplement their social security payments--many seem perfectly happy to move in with a woman, just don't bring up the commitment thing. I'm starting to suspect my Mr. Right is sitting in a nursing home somewhere, and doesn't have Internet access.
My late husband was a great guy--warm, affectionate smart and funny! I guess I'm spoiled. But, no matter who you are, or what your age might be, it's still better to be alone than bogged down in a miserable relationship, with someone who doesn't love or respect you, or worse, is in any way abusive. Online dating is one way to meet people--it just might not be the best way. There are lots of dishonest and dysfunctional people online, so be aware and stay safe.
