Singles Websites

So I have been off of the whole dating scene on the singles websites for quite some time now.

I just hate them...

There is so much false hope there-and so much devastation to your self esteem-atleast that is how my experience with them has been. It's like you read someone's profile and they seem great and then you meet them in person, and they're nothing like they said they were. Or, you think a person sounds really cool and makes a good match with you, and so you get brave and send them a quick email on the site...and then they write back a quick one-liner and don't ask you any questions at all, so you feel like they looked at your profile and weren't interested, and they are just emailing you back to be nice. Or, they don't email back at all-and your self esteem is shot.

I recently got back on one of the sites and posted some new pics, and all of a sudden people are writing me...and I got the false hope again...and then the slams to my self esteem.

Dating sucks, and I'm sick of it. I'm so ready to just throw in the towel.
