I used to think when the internet first came out that it might be helpful for single people to find other singles, but after being online for over 20yrs I can say it has not helped one bit. I had better luck meeting girls back in the days of Personal Ads in the newspaper, even if they were boring sexually. I know it's probably partly due to my being "Too Honest", but I believe it's better to be honest from the start & a relationship can't be built on lies and it's best to be yourself instead of pretending to be something you are not. Yet I can't find anyone I like. I swear it makes a person wonder, doubt their looks, and question others motives. Being a tiny bit old fashioned I also have to wonder what has become of the world since I am NOT a fan of tattoos or body piercings and every day there seems to be less females without tatts or peircings or who like guys with no tatts or piercings.

I know from experience and agree with you 100 percent. It's better to be honest at the beginning. I had such a good thing, and it was all predicated on falsehoods. I lied about my age and my marital status. The ironic thing was, if I had been up front, she would have been cool with both. But I lied, and I was caught, and she dumped me like a hot rock. I learned the hard way, and I will never make that mistake again. Wish you the best in finding someone. I know it's hard, online or otherwise.
After decades of searching for Ms Right somehow it still feels like as if seeking true friendship, companionship as well as a sexual partner is some sort of a novel idea that no one else understands or is actually looking for.
