I've met one nice guy on line and a lot of men who were married but wanted a little "side action". Are there any decent, intelligent, single men out there who are in their 40's and 50's?

I believe that the internet is the WORST possible venue for "meeting" people, no matter the gender. Women are naturally wary of men they encounter, wondering if they are scum trolling for an easy mark (I don't blame them). Men are naturally wary of women they encounter, wondering if it might be part of an NBC Dateline investigation.

The only people that I have met on the internet that I carry on regular conversations with are other men. We share our mutual interests, mostly political, financial, music related and firearms. It's safe and nobody gets hurt.

The internet is inherently a dangerous place due to it's anonymity. I'm not saying that it is impossible to make a good connection on line, I'm just saying that your odds are long.

In answer to your question....Yes.

Well, I consider myself to be decent. I think of myself as somewhat intelligent, also. And I do NOT subscribe to the old"a side dish is ok once in awhile", mentality. I am not in my 40's, (yet.) I am in my 30's(late) now.

But I am not what is considered "a good catch" to most. Nowdays, I find myself not really caring anymore. Aside from still being considered a nerd, outcast, fanatic and such,(even on here sometimes) my life has improved a lot lately, especially where my finances are concerned. I give god all of the credit. he LITERALLY sent me 2 good -paying jobs, low pressure(most of the time, anyway) and I am making more than ever before. Of course, I give him his share and then some. As I have stated before, you CANNOT outgive the Lord!!

As for the rest-- he can take care of that, when he sees fit. He sent me 2 jobs that I could have NEVER found myself. He can certainly send someone to me, if he feels the time is right. till then- I ain't that worried!!


As I say-- better to suffer in silence alone, than to be humiliated in public!!

There was a recent report that over half of the guys on match.com were married. It followed up that with cellphones and e-mail, it's become incredibly easy to cheat.

It was a pleasant report.

How strict are your definitions of "decent" and "intelligent?" I'm 42 and have never been married. Unfortunately, I rarely seem to develop feelings for anyone and particularly not for anyone who is my own age.

Our topic is internet dating? Hmm, I think a few years ago it was ok, now one must weed thru the kooks. Does anyone have a good internet dating site? I suppose I should read the thread first?

Did rockn right meet his girl through the internet?

I am 43...and I have no front action, let alone side action
