I have wanted to try online dating for about four years now. I've looked at sites, reviewed many profiles, and examined what I want and have to offer. Maybe I've been creepy just creeping around in the background, but it took a lot of "research" for me to feel comfortable making a profile and communicating on a dating site. After scouring the internet for well over a year, I decided that I wanted to start a conversation with a man whose profile I kept coming back to. We shared a lot of common goals and interests and he appeared to live a life I could see myself joining. We messaged first a few times and then he wanted to speak to me on the phone. He even wanted to meet me at my location( I declined). I looked forward to our conversations. About a month into our communication, he told me I needed to know he wanted multiple partners ( not on his profile) and that he was not physically attracted to my body ( I have a thin/athletic frame). He did let me know that he could see us gardening and working the land together and would consider an intimate relationship if I would cater to his interest in feederism (look it up; I had to). I am thankful he told me before we met and spent time together. However, I think that is very important information that he could have put in his profile. I felt really irresponsible that I gave him personal details about my job, my general location, and mostly that I had a young son. I don't think he listened at all to what I wanted in life or a relationship and his requests sounded like some sort of enslavement. At times it makes for a good dark joke on myself around friends: How many vegetables would I have to grow myself coupled with my metabolism rate in order for him to find me attractive?...a very large number.
I haven't lost my want to try again because I'm still regularly looking at the community page on Permies, but I hope the next time I find a guy my kind of weird (eating invasive species and composting his old undies).
