I guess you have different values than I do. I would only date to find a real wife. A honest to G-d, someone who actually loves me, and I love back, that would spend her life with me. Someone safe, that I could trust to stay with me, and put up with all my stupidity.
I would never waste my time with people who are not going to stay. Have no interest in a long term relationship, who would ditch me the moment someone better comes along.
Now.... maybe my experiences with Craigslist people, and maybe the experiences I have heard from people who used Craigslist are wrong..... that is possible....
But nearly everything surrounding the craigslist people, showed me that none of them were there for a long term relationship. These were people who couldn't care less about you, but just wanted to waste your time.
That's not a real relationship. That's just you being used for a cheap thrill for someone else, and ditched.
How do you really expect to get fulfilled life, from someone who isn't there for the long term? How?
Do you not even want someone who really cares about you? You actually want people who use you, and ditch you? That's what you want out of life?
Because I've met those people... honestly I've met them in their 50s, and they are lonely, and isolated. Is that really what you want?
