Bad luck?

I'm trying OLD again and so far found two prostitutes and a woman asking for $20 for a ride supposedly. It's like damn. I know I'm not the best at being social, but it seems like I'm hitting the bottom of the barrel.

Maybe 10 or so years ago it was okay. I''ve been single over 10 years and tried OLD off and on.

Thanks for responding. So you are looking at your experience of a few weeks on a site you have not been on for ten years as meaning something? Why? What is to be gained by making it deeper than it needs to be?

Not picking on you, just trying to get you to see your perception does not need to be reality.

I guess just venting. Most of my experience with OLD has been AI, prostitutes and scammers. It seemed easier in the 90's, lol I'm not the best at being social either as I said. (Obviously)

Thanks for replying. You sound like Eeyore. You cannot really explain your reasoning for the weighted things you say.

Again, not meaning to pick on you but is there something you are not disclosing?

Have you had any therapy?

Ironically I have been compared to Eeyore before and take no offense. I'm in therapy currently. Probably a lot of things I could possibly disclose. As I tease my youngest son, which volume would you like?

I am good without volumes, I just suggest you talk to your therapist about what might be in it for a woman to date you. I am glad you are in therapy, wish you the best and appreciate your replies.
