So I checked out the competition

I hadn't done that yet on the site I'm currently using.

Trying to look at it from a GUYS perspective, I have to admit I was shocked and amazed. In my age bracket and my zip code, the pickins are slim. There were a handful of really pretty gals who seemed really nice---top of the heap. Then A gaggle of us who are less than beautiful but have other things going for us. And then a whole BUNCH of ladies who are either extremely unattractive, posted an embarassing picture (as in; inappropriately slutty or extremely bad photo/can't tell what she looks like, etc) or can't put together two sentences that make sense.

Which makes me feel better that there don't seem to be very many good guys in my area.

I can't do much about the way I look, my pictures are respectable and my profile at least is spelled correctly. I must be a GODDESS!

Not that I am judging those women in any way that matters: I know and love and accept people of all kinds. But in the context of searching for a match, it made me feel a little more confident.

I think I should go into business; makeovers for women and their profiles.

I just checked out the competition in my area and yikes....when I first posted there were few of us and I was easily one of the prettiest. Now there are a lot of beautiful women out there. Wow!! there is real competition so I need to make sure I bring my A game. I guess my experience was opposite of yours.

savannah....who keeps telling herself the right man won't be dazzled by the bevy of beauties online.(hey this is my playground and I will be delusional if I choose to be) :)

Oh no, I just checked out the competition and I'm up against a lot of blondes! Everyone is blonde in the midwest!

Oh well, I moved here from the East Coast where tons of people are brunette and loving it. I'm ok, deep breath, I have very dark hair and light blue eyes. That's kind of cool in an odd genetic twist sort of way.

But they are all thin too. I'm NOT thin, never have been, can treadmill until I'm 80 years old without any food and still not be thin.

yipes!! I gotta post that picture and get in the game. No wonder I'm not getting any responses. Wish me luck, I just don't want to hear from the ex when he sees my profile.
