We all have our preferences. I, too, am a fan of the geeks and especially the dorks. My experience with online was dismal-I was contacted by a very negative man, a man who felt he should have been born female and a few "normal" guys who faded out after a couple of interactions.
The most promising was one who just wanted a FWB situation, which I did not. He was also someone who had a physical trait I'm just not attracted to so I couldn't imagine doing anything physical with him. The funny thing though, was I initially contacted him. I straight out said I knew I wasn't what he was looking at but a comment in his profile made me laugh and I couldn't help but respond. His profile pic was black and white so it wasn't until a few emails later when I saw one in color that the initial attraction was killed.
I have to agree with a comment posted above however. When I was 25, I was never going to date anyone who was more than 4 years older than me, smoked or had ever used drugs. Had I stuck to that plan, I never would ended up with my late husband with whom I was blessed to have 8 years with.
But back to the OP, these are encounters you had in the past when you were actively online. If you are no longer online and have said you've met some nice guys in real life, why dwell on it?
I can understand the OP's frustration. I am attracted to twinks (guys 18-25 who are skinny) and while I am not repulsed by other guys I am just not attracted to them. Where I live I have a hard time meeting them but do get hit on by guys I am not attracted to. Sometimes we become friends sometimes we do not but I am just honest with them upfront that while I am willing to be friends I am not attracted to them. The only advise I can give is to keep trying as you never know when you will meet someone.
I have a type, and unfortunately, it seems I'm not theirs. Plus, now its hard to find my type because I'm in a new city. I'm a little (ok, very) quiet and introverted, so approaching women doesn't usually happen. So I end up relying on internet dating, and in my new city (Oklahoma City) it has not been good at all.
Anyway, my ideal "type" (subject to change) is brunette, 30-40 yrs old, educated, physically fit and healthy, down to earth, and wants a family. Some common interests and of course, values are important too. I just can't find here, or at least not here.
I'm just barely out of the age range (I am 41)but outside of that it fits me. I just think for some the type they desire isn't online. It's why I gave up on it.
Is Knight2009 Catholic? I think we found him a wife.
He is looking for someone entirely different....
