I'm thinking of starting a new dating site. It's going to have lots of competition. Actually it's going to be the exact same as every other site -- we'll just be more honest about it.


Step one is we'll use an honest URL:


chasemesoifeelgoodaboutmyself.com


Step two, lots of people are uncomfortable lying via email -- so we'll make it easy for the ladies to participate with lots of good canned messages:



  • Look forward to meeting you

  • More later..

  • I'm really searching for friends first

  • I've been divorced for many years and have no baggage

  • I've got to go (check one) (a) put the kids to bed (b) bury my ex in the backyard (c) mow the lawn in the dark (d) fold the clothes but I'll write back later.

I'm so glad you guys are on this board to let me know that you go through the same sh*t as us ladies! Really, I've always thought the guys had it easy.

Recently, a new acquaintance told me about his year OLD a couple of years ago. He and his friend posted profiles and got nada for a couple of months. Then they increased their salaries by $20,000, his friend mentioned he was a doctor, and both received a barrage of winks and emails within 2 weeks. Pretty shocking!

I have to say that I got more positive interest that women initiated when I had my income up than when I didn't. :(

I for one pay no attention to income.

If it's in the VERY high end, I don't believe it. If it's in the VERY low end, I'd give a guy a chance anyway. I know people who earn on the low end but are really smart about money and are way ahead of me in the retirement plan game.
