Comments on: New Year, New You http://www.jdate.com/jmag/2012/01/new-year-new-you/ Where celebrities, experts and JDaters come to kibitz! Mon, 20 May 2013 03:59:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Sharon, Israel http://www.jdate.com/jmag/2012/01/new-year-new-you/comment-page-1/#comment-25601 Sharon, Israel Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:43:37 +0000 http://www.jdate.com/jmag/?p=44401#comment-25601 To all of you male commentators :): I'm not picky at all, and am still single. I, as opposed to you guys, don't hear any lame excuses, since I never get a call back. They would usually disappear after the date, or after the first call. And no, I'm not fat or ugly, I don't lack the brains nor do I have bad breath. Sometimes the spark just isn't there, which is something all of you could probably relate to. And guys are picky too, and way out of their leauge. I'm 35 and have people in their 60's approaching me. They don't even think it's freakish, they have no shame and believe It's ok for them to aim high, since they are men. To all of you male commentators :) :

Attractive women on JDate have a lot to answer for. If they could just be a little less picky, you would read about far more JDate Success Stories! Come on attractive JDate ladies!

Also, from a guy's perspective around 10-15 years younger than Mike, women will keep rejecting men on JDate for almost any reason possible. Most are afraid to commit (even if you've heard it's the other way round). I am friendly, with a good personality and handsome and I can write a book on the number of excuses I have heard ranging from no common ground, my ex and I are going to get back together, I'm moving interstate, I'm too busy at the moment, Do you have any more photos of yourself, There's no chemistry, I'm not looking for a relationship at the moment and I just want to be friends. I could go on further but I'll leave that for my book! I completely agree with Mike.

Most profiles and photos are pathetic and include singles with advanced degrees. Women always love to criticize men but never analyze themselves so I thought I would give a man's perspective. I just sent an email to a woman online on jdate who is 58 and I am a little older then her 50 to 60 age limits of interest. The email is self explanatory and I do not expect or even desire a reply: Bottom line is 50 plus women either get their head out of their rear end or stay dateless.------- "I saw you online and am just curious, as you state: "I love to write (am a published poet and essayist)." but only have a few lines in your main essay section and blank for most of the other essay sections? And you also say you are a 'high school english teacher with a masters'? This is not a solicitation of interest as you are 58 and only seek 50 to 60. If you choose not to reply, I hope you enjoy the jdate Carousel ride. Michael" Erica Ettin; All good advice that most will never follow!
