Hi Linda,
I'm not sure about everyone however from my experience of the 'online' or 'traditional' (meet in a bar/work/friends) ways and the feedback which most women are only too keen to tell you about on a first meeting (with few exceptions) it's just as easy for a guy to have his heart torn out too, this then leads to a state where you tend to become very protective and distance yourself from your emotions. Guys are do it once, put it in a box, tick it off and move to the next challenge. A relationship is more like a phased thing and you work from one stage to another till you're finished which means you're committed or the relationship falls apart. If you get through to the committed stage the differences are marked. Guys back off and work on 'other' things and go back to their friends, women start to 'nest'. Have you ever asked why a guy has a photo of a dead animal in their profile shot or a photo of their car?
I have no idea either I was just asking....
I think it's a hunter gather thing and the shiny car is the peacock preened feathers, the dead animal represents about 6 weeks in the kitchen...
You don't have to be a member of a dating site to be a jerk....They can be found almost anywhere...
